27、疑,如果意见不和. 就相互摆事实讲道理，直到解决这个问题.文章剩下的内容就让全班分小组按这种模式讨论. 教授说,你掌握了这种方法的精髓,但是在实施之前要和那个班的老师讨论好.这也是实践数学的必要环节.Conversion 2话题分类:学生和图书管理员内容回忆:学生来找管理员,问哪里可以看到教授 reserve 的要求他们阅读的文章?管理员指明方向?学生问,我可以看多久?管理员说.两小时.闭馆之后你可以再来.把文章带回家?但是明早 10 点之前还回来.学生说,我明早的课 10 点 30 结東 ,晚点还会怎样?管理员说.每小时罚款 30 美分.学生说,那还行.并问.自己没带电脑怎么办?管理员说：a

29、他们的产品却能够相互协调补充.而且这种去中心化的市场理论上应该是很不可靠的.因为你不能指望你需要的都能买到.但是 H 民族的市场却很可靠，而且,他们在集会时候卖陶罐. 可以让那些住在人口稀少地区的人也可以趁球赛来买,此外.他们的销售量会增大.有意思的事,一段时间后. H 民族的球场骤然減少.随之減少的还有某种的陶罐。Lecture 2学科分类:biology标题：青蛙的减少内容回忆： 教授说.世界上有好多两栖动物,青蛙是其中一种,他们的数量在减少.学生 A 问.为什么?我看到过可能提因为环境原因. 教授说是的. 还有一种可能是人类活动.人类活动使得地域都分割开了,干燥区域和潮湿区域分开了.这让

30、青蛙难以生存.因为. 蛙卵在水里,而成年青蛙生活在陆地.人类的房子和道路就把干湿分割开了.巴西一个地区正在做相关研究.该地区青蛙种类多.而土地分割又很厉害.在那里发现, 湿地的幼年娃多余干地,说明分割给他们移动带来了困难,学生 B 问,这就是青蛙减少的根本原因吗?教授说 ,现在还不能被确定.需要更多的研究Lecture 3学科分类:mechanical engineering标题：仿生学与机器人制造内容回忆：教授说 .为了制造机器人,专家们专门研究了动物和人类的行走方式.但是这些机器人能够行走的路面是有限的,只能在坚硬的地面行走.沙地水面就不行后来.专家们观察到一种可以在水面行走的蜥蜴 ,就拿

32、契尼的蝴蝶夫人来说.刚开始大家不喜欢因为.言先,普直到初演前还在修改谱子 , 导致大家排练不熱悉，且初演前的排练是保密的,乐评人就很不乐意, 觉得被拒绝了. 其次.由于乐评人做了负面宣传,人们去听之前就抱有成见,第三, 蝴蝶夫人只有 2 幕, 传统歌剧有 3 幕, 大家不接受.后来, 歌剧改成了 3 幕,大家排练多了,初演之后不用保密,大家就开始接受了。1月7日托福写作真题回忆：综合防止海龟减少的办法是否有用阅读：有 3 种办法防止海龟减少建立金属围栏，防止海龟蛋被素食者吃掉禁用塑料袋，海龟吃了塑料袋，消化道会被堵塞把传统渔网改成只能捕鱼而不会限制海龟的，海龟被渔网捉住，会溺水听力：上述办法都

33、不行m金属围栏会阻碍小海龟的磁场发育，海龟靠磁场导航，找食物，找配偶，找地方产卵。没有发育好的磁场，海龟根本无法生存，繁衍。n限制塑料袋或许有用。问题是，现在海里已经有成千上万的塑料袋了，即使分解成了小片，一样会危害海龟。所以限塑解决不了燃眉之急。o改进的渔网，渔民会拒绝使用，因为网到的鱼会减少，收入会减少。即使有法律规定必须使用，渔民也会趁没人使用传统渔网，回到岸上再换成改进渔网。Sample Answer:When it comes to the decrease of sea turtles population, the reading puts forward three solut

34、ions to prevent this tendency. However, all these three solutions are regarded as invalid in the listening.First, the idea that building a metal fence will work. Not as it puts in the reading, the listening argues that the mental fence will hinder the development of magnetic field which exerts influ

35、ence on the growth of the little sea turtles. The listening further illustrates that sea turtles rely on magnetic field to navigate, find food and mates as well as find a suitable place to lay eggs. Without a fully developed magnetic field, they cannot live and reproduce.As to the second measure of

36、a ban of the plastic bags, the listening still refutes it. As a matter of fact, there are already thousands of plastic bags in the sea, which, although decomposing into small pieces, still pose great threat to sea turtles. Therefore, the ban of plastic bags is not the point.Lastly, the reading calls

37、 on to transform the traditional fishing nets into those catching only fish but not sea turtles. Unfortunately, the third solution is not able to work well. The listening explains that the fishermen will refuse to use the transformed fishing nets for they will catch fewer fish and thus get a decreas

38、ed income. Even though relevant laws are enacted, the fishermen will apply the traditional fishing nets before replacing them with the transformed fishing nets on shore.独立You are helping to select a leader for a student organization or a group. Do you think a persons honest is the most important cha

39、racteristic for being a leader?Sample Answer:Regardless of the increasingly complicated relationships among modern people, honesty is still regarded as the most cherished characteristic when it comes to evaluating others around us. Therefore, it is not beyond our expectation that someone gives prior

40、ity to honesty when selecting a leader for a student organization. According to my preference and experience, there are other two factors that are more worth noticing.To begin with, the ability to plan and organize is the most essential characteristic for a student leader for the sake of a smooth pr

41、ogress of the student affairs. In other words, competent leaders are those with detailed plans and clear goals in their mind.Otherwise, the whole group will easily get lost on the way and lose the impetus to strive for their common goals. By making a detailed plan and carrying it out step by step, a

42、 group leader is not only capable of pushing forward and complete the preset projects but also able to keep the team members away from distrust and anxiety. For example, if a leader of English Association is going to conduct an English speaking contest, he is required to figure out the concrete proc

43、ess of a speaking contest, the cost related to the applied facilities as well as the assignment for each individual in the group.Besides, whether the candidate for the student leader masters the art of communication is also worth noticing. It is no denying that the leader of a student organization i

44、s exposed to various chances to interact with group members encompassing students of distinct personality traits. Therefore，it is of paramount importance for the leader to be possessed with the ability to relate well with others. More importantly, only by well coordinating the relations among the te

45、am members can the student leader be capable of ensuring the smooth progress of the organization. To illustrate, if conflicts arise among team members during the process of crucial projects, the leader has the obligation to properly settle the disagreement by skillfully calming them down with maybe

46、witty words and then take measures to cope with the problems.Admittedly, it is indisputable that honesty should not be neglected in terms of choosing a leader. After all, honesty has a lot to do with obtaining trust and creating a harmonious atmosphere among the whole group. It is natural that peopl

47、e usually rely on an honest person without reservation. Nevertheless, it is still not wise enough to regard it as the most crucial factor in terms of choosing a leader for student organizations for honesty does not testify to ones ability and competence in dealing with group projects.To sum up, taki

48、ng the ability of planning and organizing as well as communication skills into consideration, it is too rash to put honesty first when choosing a leader for student organizations.1月7日托福阅读真题回忆：Passage One学科分类：历史类题目: Elects Lighting and the American Homes内容回忆:本文共 6 段第一段.讲到 19 世纪末,20 世纪切美国工业和交通用电在白天达到顶峰. 电力供应在夜里有剰余,电力企业在寻求会在夜里消费电力的新领域。虽然线路铺的普及,电网建设成本下降，家庭用电开始兴起，但局限于小范围的富余家庭。第二段,电力改変了美国的家庭(统领全文主旨句).介绍家庭用电普及之前,美国的家度主要靠燃烧汽灯照明.例举了汽灯的诸多弊端,如,光线昏暗. 燃烧放出烟,放出有毒气体。然后到了美国家庭的房屋特点,为
