托福TPO1阅读答案与翻译解析3

参考译文：山上树带界线的植被The transition from forest to treeless tundra on a mountain slope is often a dramatic one. Within a vertical distance of just a few tens of meters, trees disappear as a life-form and are replaced by low shrubs, herbs, and grasses. This rapid zone of transition is called the upper timberline or tree line. In many semiarid areas there is also a lower timberline where the forest passes into steppe or desert at its lower edge, usually because of a lack of moisture.通常从山坡上的森林到没有树的苔原是一种非常戏剧化的转变。

在一个垂直距离只有几十米的地方，树木这种生命形式就消失了，取而代之的是低矮的灌木、药草和牧草。

这种急速转变的区域被称为上行树带界线或林木线。

在许多干旱的地区存在着下行树带界线，在这里由于缺乏水分森林变成干草原，甚至在最下端会出现沙漠。

The upper timberline, like the snow line, is highest in the tropics and lowest in the Polar Regions. It ranges from sea level in the Polar Regions to 4,500 meters in the dry subtropics and 3,500-4,500 meters in the moist tropics. Timberline trees are normally evergreens, suggesting that these have some advantage over deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves) in the extreme environments of the upper timberline. There are some areas, however, where broadleaf deciduous trees form the timberline. Species of birch, for example, may occur at the timberline in parts of the Himalayas.上行树带界线，比如雪线，在热带最高在极地最低。

托福阅读TPO19答案解析

托福阅读答案1.回到原文“accumulations of earth and loose rock …” 文中的意思是指的泥土的积累，形成叫moraines的物质，而泥土的积累其实就可以看做是沉淀，比如三角洲就是泥土的积累或者说是沉淀出来的，所以选D。

2.根据“A heterogeneous group consists of many different types of things or people.” 所以答案选B。

3.第二句“Agassiz visited many places …”第三句“In all these diverse regions, …”第四句“In flatplains country, he saw moraines…that remained him of the terminal moraines found at the endof valley glaciers in the Alps.”意思是：在平原乡村，他看到的moraines让他想起了在阿尔卑斯冰山谷末端找到的terminal moraines。

首先他去过很多地方，都发现了冰川侵蚀和沉淀的迹象，然后他在flat plains 发现的moraines让他想起了在Alps发现的moraines，这证明在不同地方发现了类似甚至同样的物质，所以只有B符合。

选项A错，地质差异比较扯；选项C错，肯定不是Alps的地质研究；选项D错，并没有什么regionaldifference,这是原文并没有提到的，所以不能选。

4.回原文“…regions that enjoy temperate climates…”直译过来应该是：享受温带气候的地区。

Resemble 肯定不对，因为确实就是温带气候，不用类似于。

Expect 期望也不对，本来就是何必期望呢？dominate支配也不对，支配温带气候实在是从语义上说不过去，最后只有experience经历是可以说的过去的，一个享受温带气候的地区当然就经历这么一个温带的气候，所以选A。

托福阅读TPO14答案解析

托福阅读答案1.prestige威望，声望，所以B的status正确。

原句说在很多地方马已经成为了什么的象征，后面一个让步说尽管牛羊也很重要，应该是说马更重要才对，所以兴趣的动物，利益的动物和要求的动物都不对。

2.以most mobile and most militarilistic做关键词定位至倒数第三句，说以马匹做运输工具和福利使得Inner Eurasia pastoralism最mobile，答案是B，C虽然提到了welfare，但不是 borrow的，所以不选。

3.profound深远的，所以答案far-reaching正确，选D。

原句说pastoralism的出现和发展对欧亚大陆内部有什么样的影响，后面又加了这个区域之外的欧洲和亚洲，所以应该是影响范围广大，所以答案是D。

C说反，后面都说了indirect；A奇特的B正面的没说。

4.首先找到对比，本段前两句分别说了游牧民族和定居民族的特点，一是依靠动物及其食物，一是驯养动物。

紧接着说了这种对比的结果，也就是作者做这个对比的目的。

游牧民族就像食肉动物一样，在食物链中占据了较高的等级，所以需要更多地盘。

所以对比的目的就是解释为什么游牧民族需要占领更多地方，答案是A。

此题特殊，修辞目的在修辞点所在句子后面，需要多加注意。

5.问题当中关键词难找，但可以从上题pastoralist和agriculturalist的对比，也就是本段的第一二两句中得出答案D，说游牧民族经常四处游走。

A和C原文都没说，B项与原文说反，原文第四句说游牧民族必须四处走以保证同样量的food and clothing，所以B错。

6.首先以Eastern Europe和Mongolia做关键词定位至第四句，原句单纯讲述了一个例子，所以往前看，前句说由于游牧民族的存在，出现了很大一块地域范围内共享相似的生态上的，文化上的甚至语言上的特点。

紧接着就说了语言上的一个例子，所以语言的这个例子是为了证明前文的，答案是D。

托福阅读TPO24答案解析

托福阅读答案1.traumatic受伤的，外伤的，不顺心的，所以正确答案是highly stressful。

原句说改变传统的大家庭居住模式到跟很多人一起住在镇上是怎么样的。

接着下句说没有人有跟很多人住在一起的经验，又说了其他很多问题，所以这个词一定是不好的，所以不是B就是D，而wise是原文没体现出来的，所以正确答案是B。

2.intense强大的，强烈的，紧张的，所以正确答案是strong。

原文说本地资源所受的压力是非常怎么样的，而且住在镇上卫生条件也不好，又是要一个不好的结论，所以questionable和deliberate完全不靠谱；obvious 压力很明显还不够，一定是鸭梨山大才行，所以正确答案是A。

3.如果这道题以十三世纪做关键词定位的话，读完第一句也不知道选哪个，因此用排除法较好。

A的chore做关键词定位至倒数第二句，但原文只是列举了chore，没说选项说的share，A错；B的dwelling和sidesofthecliffs 做关键词定位至第一句，但建在cliff的是pueblo，不是十三世纪之前，所以B错；C在原文中没有明确说明，但看首句会发现十三世纪变化了，十三世纪以后大家一起住，有很多问题，也就是说十三世纪之前大家都是自己住自己的，也就是C说的conduct their lives as they pleased，C正确；D原文完全没说，不选。

4.问全段的题，看头尾。

第一句说十三世纪人们的生活方式发生了变化，很多人都搬到了pueblo；而后半段从倒数第三句到最后都在说这种现象产生的一系列问题，所以是先陈述现象，后说这种现象产生的问题，答案是D。

A 的why those conditions get worse，B的present cultural condition和C的an alternativeexplanation 原文都没说。

5.以density做关键词定位至第二句，说经过若干代人口增长，density实在太大，使得pueblo成为一个不可避免的结果，所以正确答案是A，crowdinto collections of large housing units。

托福阅读TPO22答案解析

托福阅读答案1.location位置，所以正确答案是D的place。

这题送分的，千万别想难了选sake就完蛋了，location完全没有sake的意思。

2.以时间做关键词定位至第一句，说一个meteor碎成了很多碎片落在了长多少宽多少的区域内。

A错，不是那个meteor ten miles wide，是那个区域；B的biggest没说也没有相关信息可以推断，而且太绝对；C正确，原文第二句说收集了大致两吨的碎片，碎片都有两吨了，那meteor自然不止两吨，所以C正确；D的more pieces 原文没有信息可以推断，不选。

3.这个句子看上去有点儿复杂，但把没用的部分去掉之后，剩下的东西并不多，只有when blabla，A包含各种各样的objects，后面的一大堆东西都是修饰objects的，所以正确答案是B。

A选项的A form原文没说，而且cloud of gas and dust got trapped原文也没说；C和D的主干完全错误。

4.allusion暗指，暗示，所以正确答案是D的reference。

原文说C这个东西的名字来源于希腊语，意思是种子，什么它的外表是石头里面包含很多种子，带进去就知道答案应该是reference，指的是外表blabla。

A添加B改变明显不对；C的resemblance看起来对，但其实不是像外表，而是外表像种子，所以C也不对。

5.enigmatic神秘的，成谜的，来自enigma谜，所以正确答案是B的mysterious。

原文说一些C包含了melting之后剩下的颗粒，这些怎么样的颗粒一定是在高温下nebular dust were fused的时候形成的。

都说了这些颗粒是survive过了melting event，也就是说别的都融化了，所以这些颗粒比较神奇，答案是B。

A和C 明显不对，D稍靠谱，但没有B好，而且本段最后还说是enigma，是一个谜。

6.以presence of grains inside some of the chondrules做关键词定位至第四句，也就是刚才词汇题所在的那句，说C包含了melting之后剩下的颗粒，这些神奇的颗粒一定是在高温下nebular dust were fused的时候形成的，然后快速冷却，所以正确答案是B。

托福备考托福阅读34套TPO样题+解析+译文1--1Groundwater

托福考试复习托福阅读TPO1(试题+答案+译文)第1篇:Groundwater托福阅读原文Groundwater is the word Groundwater is the word used to describe water that saturates the ground, filling all the Groundwater is the word used to describe water that saturates the ground, filling all the available spaces. By far the most abundant type of groundwater is meteoric water; this is the groundwater that circulates as part of the water cycle. Ordinary meteoric water is water that has soaked into the ground from the surface, from precipitation (rain and snow) and from lakes and streams. There it remains, sometimes for long periods, before emerging at the surface again.At first thought it seems incredible that there can be enough space in the “solid” ground underfoot to hold all this water.The necessary space is there, however, in many forms. The commonest spaces are those among the particles—sand grains and tiny pebbles—of loose, unconsolidated sand and gravel. Beds of this material, out of sight beneath the soil, are common. They are found wherever fast rivers carrying loads of coarse sediment once flowed. For example, as the great ice sheets that covered North America during the last ice age steadily melted away, huge volumes of water flowed from them. The water wasalways laden with pebbles, gravel, and sand, known as glacial outwash, that was deposited as the flow slowed down.The same thing happens to this day, though on a smaller scale, wherever a sediment-laden river or stream emerges from a mountain valley onto relatively flat land, dropping its load as the current slows: the water usually spreads out fanwise, depositing the sediment in the form of a smooth, fan-shaped slope. Sediments are also dropped where a river slows on entering a lake or the sea, the deposited sediments are on a lake floor or the seafloor at first, but will be located inland at some future date, when the sea level falls or the land rises; such beds are sometimes thousands of meters thick.In lowland country almost any spot on the ground may overlie what was once the bed of a river that has since become buried by soil; if they are now below the water’s upper surface (the water table), the gravels and sands of the former riverbed, and its sandbars, will be saturated with groundwater.So much for unconsolidated sediments. Consolidated (or cemented) sediments, too, contain millions of minute water-holding pores. This is because the gaps among the original grains are often not totally pluggedwith cementing chemicals; also, parts of the original grains may become dissolved by percolating groundwater, either while consolidation is taking place or at any time afterwards. The result is that sandstone, for example, can be as porous as the loose sand from which it was formed.Thus a proportion of the total volume of any sediment, loose or cemented, consists of empty space. Most crystalline rocks are much more solid; a common exception is basalt, a form of solidified volcanic lava, which is sometimes full of tiny bubbles that make it very porous.The proportion of empty space in a rock is known as its porosity. But note that porosity is not the same as permeability, which measures the ease with which water can flow through a material; this depends on the sizes of the individual cavities and the crevices linking them.Much of the water in a sample of water-saturated sediment or rock will drain from it if the sample is put in a suitable dry place. But some will remain, clinging to all solid surfaces. It is held there by the force of surface tension without which water would drain instantly from any wet surface, leaving it totally dry. The total volume of water in the saturated sample must therefore be thought of as consisting of water that can, and water that cannot, drain away.The relative amount of these two kinds of water varies greatly from one kind of rock or sediment to another, even though their porosities may be the same. What happens depends on pore size. If the pores are large, the water in them will exist as drops too heavy for surface tension to hold, and it will drain away; but if the pores are small enough, the water in them will exist as thin films, too light to overcome the force of surface tension holding them in place; then the water will be firmly held.托福阅读试题1.Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about the ground that we walk on?A.It cannot hold rainwater for long periods of time.B.It prevents most groundwater from circulating.C.It has the capacity to store large amounts of water.D.It absorbs most of the water it contains from rivers.2.The word “incredible” in the passage (paragraph 1) 1is closest in meaning toA.confusingfortingC.unbelievableD.interesting3.The word “out of sight” in the passage (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning toA.far awayB.hiddenC.partly visibleD.discovered4.According to paragraph 2, where is groundwater usually found?A.Inside pieces of sand and gravelB.On top of beds of rockC.In fast rivers that are flowing beneath the soilD.In spaces between pieces of sediment5.The phrase “glacial outwash” in the passage (paragragh 2) refers toA.fast riversB.glaciersC.the huge volumes of water created by glacial meltingD.the particles carried in water from melting glaciers6.All of the following are mentioned in paragraph 3 as places that sediment-laden rivers can deposit their sediments EXCEPTA.A mountain valleyB.Flat landC.A lake floorD.The seafloor7.The word “overlie” in the passage (paragragh 4)) is closest in meaning toA. coverB. changeC. separateD. surround8.The phrase “So much for” in the passage (paragragh 5) is closest in meaning toA.that is enough aboutB.now let us turn toC.of greater concern areD.this is related to9.The word “plugged” in the passage (paragragh 5) is closet in meaning to washedA.draggedB.filled upC.soaked through10.According to paragraphs 6 and 7, why is basalt unlike most crystalline forms of rock?A.It is unusually solid.B.It often has high porosity.C.It has a low proportion of empty space.D.It is highly permeable.11.What is the main purpose of paragraph 7?A.To explain why water can flow through rockB.To emphasize the large amount of empty space in all rockC.To point out that a rock cannot be both porous and permeableD.To distinguish between two related properties of rock12.Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage (paragragh 9)? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.A.Surface tension is not strong enough to retain drops of water in rocks with large pores but it strong enough to hold on to thin films of water in rocks with small pores.B.Water in rocks is held in place by large pores and drains away from small size pores through surface tension.C.Small pores and large pores both interact with surface tension to determine whether a rock will hold water as heavy drops or as a thin film.D.If the force of surface tension is too weak to hold water in place as heavy drops, the water will continue to be held firmly in place as a thin film when large pores exist.13.Look at the four squares [█] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.What, then, determines what proportion of the water stays and what proportion drains away?Much of the water in a sample of water-saturated sediment or rock willdrain from it if the sample is put in a suitable dry place. █【A】Butsome will remain, clinging to all solid surfaces. █【B】It is held there by the force of surface tensionwithout which water would drain instantly from any wet surface, leaving ittotally dry. █【C】The total volume of water in the saturated sample musttherefore be thought of as consisting of water that can, and water that cannot,drain away. █【D】Where would thesentence best fit?14.Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below. Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the passage. Some sentences do not belong in the summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage. This question is worth 2 points.Much of the ground is actually saturated with water.A.Sediments that hold water were spread by glaciers and are still spread by rivers and streams.B.Water is stored underground in beds of loose sand and gravel or in cemented sediment.C.The size of a saturated rock’s pores determines how much water it will retain when the rock is put in a dry place.D.Groundwater often remains underground for a long time before it emerges again.E.Like sandstone, basalt is a crystalline rock that is very porous.F.Beds of unconsolidated sediments are typically located at inland sites that were once underwater.托福阅读答案1.以ground作为关键词定位至全段最后一句，说At first sight土地是不可能有那么大的空间去容纳这些水的，at first sight第一眼看上去的意思是这个不是事实，而且事实刚好与这个相反，也就是说土地是有空间的，所以C正确2.incredible令人难以置信的，想到credit card信用卡，credit指的是信用或者学分ible或者able表示可以……的，credible可信的，incredible难以置信的，不知道的话看上题也知道是不可能3.out of sight表面意思就是在视野之外，也就是看不见，C和D都说看见，所以错。

托福阅读TPO23答案解析

托福阅读答案1.infrequent不常见的，所以正确答案是uncommon，单词是frequent加否定前缀构成的。

原文说最初encounter怎么样，从十九世纪晚期，awareness变多了，也就是原来很少，所以正确答案是B，其他选项都与多或者少不沾边。

2.以二十世纪做关键词定位至最后一句，说二十世纪的后几十年人们更多花功夫在理解和记录rock art的abundance上，所以正确答案是D，understanding and documenting。

其他选项都没说。

3.relatively相对地，相关地，所以正确答案是comparatively。

原文说对这种art的研究是一个怎么样新的学科在澳洲。

接着说在过去的四十年中，也就是说已经研究了四十年了，也不能算很新，只是时间相对短罢了，所以正确答案B。

A全新，C明显新，和D特别新，都不对。

4.discern辨别，察觉，所以正确答案是identity。

从单词本身看，dis有分开之意，cern有确定，弄清之意，想想concern，所以两者合在一起必然有区分、辨别之意。

原文说australian rock art的stylicorganization究竟是什么，是否有可能怎么样一个sequence或者一种pattern，所以答案是C。

repeat和apply不沾边，indicate有暗示，指明之意，而原文没有，不选。

5.revise修改，所以正确答案是change。

从单词本身看，re表示再次，vise是看，想想supervise和devise，所以两者合在一起必有改的意思。

原文说rock art的年龄一直在怎么样，接着又说因为有新发现，所以更早的定年出现了，所以年龄是被改变了，D正确。

raise错，年龄不能一直被提出；challenge和discuss都没提出结果，而且也跟再次没关系，不选。

6.原句的结构是frequency导致专家采用了一个term，lead to说明存在因果关系，正确答案是 B。

TPO13阅读详细答案

METHODS OF STUDYING INFANT PERCEPTION1. 以indirect methods做关键词定位至第二句，说用间接方法来观察婴儿能看到什么听到什么，接下来又说与stimulus引入之前的状态进行对比，所以答案是C，不管是hear 还是see都是婴儿的state，而且只有引入之后的state才能与之前的state对比得出变化2. uniformly统一地，一致地，持续地，所以答案C的consistently正确。

首先将单词拆分，uni表示单一，form形式，所以能猜出统一之意。

原句说如果在新生儿的视野范围内发生怎样的移动方式，那么他们的眼睛会反复跟着移动，婴儿的眼睛会反复动，当然移动的pattern也是反复或者持续的，C正确。

A清楚B快D偶尔都没法表达反复之意3. 修辞目的题，修辞点所在的句子上题已经读过，只是在叙述一个例子，而且for example进一步说明这句话只是例子。

往前看，前句说两种方法的不同告诉研究人员新生儿对刺激的不同反应的level和duration，所以A是答案。

B的only原文没说；C的unrelated 与原文相反；D的age原文没说4. EXCEPT题，本应该排除法，但原文中非常清楚地写到第一第二第三三个局限性，也就是三个正确答案，所以也可以直接选的。

第一对应D，正确，不选；第二对应对应B，正确，不选；第三对应A，正确，不选；所以C错，选5. potent有力的，有效的，所以B的powerful正确。

从单词本身看，potential叫做有潜力的，有可能的，所以potent肯定跟力量或者可能性有关；从所在句看，原句说第三，一般重要的要么放前要么放后，特别描述的一般都是重要的，其余答案完全不对6. 原句的结构是当blabla的时候，必须仔细以防止一件事和另一件事的发生，原文中隐含的主语是我们防止。

A正确，其余三个答案把原句的主干完全改变。

B说婴儿怎么怎么样，原文的我们防止彻底没了；C主干当中的conclusive evidence在原句中完全不主要；D主句和从句都跟原文不一样7. 问第三段整段的目的，看中心句，也就是本段首句。

tpo6阅读答案（汇总5篇）tpo6阅读答案第1篇What purpose does paragraph 2 serve in the larger discussion of children's inability to recall early experiences?○To argue that theories that are not substantiated by evidence should generally be considered unreliable○To argue that the hypotheses mentioned in paragraph 2 have been more thoroughly researched than have the theories mentioned later in the passage○To explain why some theories about infantile amnesia are wrong before presenting ones more likely to be true ○To explain why infantile amnesia is of great interest to researchersThe word "plausible" in the passage is closest in meaning to ○flexible○believable○debatable○predictableThe word "phenomenon" in the passage is closest in meaning to ○exception○repetition○occurrence○ideaAll of the following theories about the inability to recall early experiences are rejected in paragraph 2 EXCEPT: ○The ability to recall an event decreases as the time after the event○Young children are not capable of forming memories that last for more than a short○People may hold back sexually meaningful○Most events in childhood are too ordinary to be worthParagraph 3: Three other explanations seem more One involves physiological changes relevant to Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain continues throughout early childhood, and this part of the brain may be critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that can be retrieved Demonstrations of infants' and toddlers' long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earlier, such as reaching inthe dark for objects, putting a bottle in a doll's mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a The brain's level of physiological maturation may support these types of memories, but not ones requiring explicit verbalWhat does paragraph 3 suggest about long-term memory in children?○Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for the long-term memory of motor activities but not verbal ○Young children may form long-term memories of actions they see earlier than of things they hear or are○Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges than of long○Children's long-term recall of motor activities increases when such activities are accompanied by explicit verbalParagraph 4: A second explanation involves the influence of the social world on children's language Hearing and telling stories about events may help children store information in ways that will endure into later childhood and Through hearing stories with a clear beginning, middle, and ending children may learn to extract the gist of events in ways that they will be able to describe manyyears Consistent with this view, parents and children increasingly engage in discussions of past events when children are about three years However, hearing such stories is not sufficient for younger children to form enduring Telling such stories to two year olds does not seem to produce long-lasting verbalizableto paragraph 4, what role may storytelling play in forming childhood memories?○It may encourage the physiological maturing of the○It may help preschool children tell the difference between ordinary and unusual○It may help preschool children retrieve memories○It may provide an ordered structure that facilitates memory Paragraph 5: A third likely explanation for infantile amnesia involves incompatibilities between the ways in which infants encode information and the ways in which older children and adults retrieve Whether people can remember an event depends critically on the fit between the way in which they earlier encoded the information and the way in which they later attempt to retrieve The better able the person is to reconstruct the perspective from which the material was encoded, the more likely that recall will beThe word "critically" in the passage is closest in meaning to ○ fundamentally○ partially○ consistently○ subsequentlyThe word "perspective" in the passage is closest in meaning to○ system○ theory○ source○ viewpointParagraph 6: This view is supported by a variety of factors that can create mismatches between very young children's encoding and older children's and adults' retrieval The world looks very different to a person whose head is only two or three feet above the ground than to one whose head is five or six feet above Older children and adults often try to retrieve the names of things they saw, but infants would not have encoded the information General knowledge of categories of events such as a birthday party or a visit to the doctor's office helps older individuals encode theirexperiences, but again, infants and toddlers are unlikely to encode many experiences within such knowledgeThe phrase "This view" in the passage refers to the belief that ○ the ability to retrieve a memory partly depends on the similarity between the encoding and retrieving process ○ the process of encoding information is

TPO托福阅读真题答案及解析托福阅读真题：The Long-Term Stability of EcosystemsPlant communities assemble themselves flexibly, and their particular structure depends on the specific history of the area. Ecologists use the term “succession” to refer to the changes that happen in plant communities and ecosystems over time. The first community in a succession is called a pioneer community, while the long-lived community at the end of succession is called a climax community. Pioneer and successional plant communities are said to change over periods from 1 to 500 years. These changes—in plant numbers and the mix of species—are cumulative. Climax communities themselves change but over periods of time greater than about 500 years.An ecologist who studies a pond today may well find it relatively unchanged in a year’s time. Individual fish may be replaced, but the number of fish will tend to be the same from one year to the next. We can say that the properties of an ecosystem are more stable than the individual organisms that compose the ecosystem.At one time, ecologists believed that species diversity made ecosystems stable. They believed that the greater the diversity the more stable the ecosystem. Support for this idea came from the observation that long-lasting climax communities usually have more complex food webs and more species diversity than pioneer communities. Ecologists concluded that the apparentstability of climax ecosystems depended on their complexity. To take an extreme example, farmlands dominated by a single crop are so unstable that one year of bad weather or the invasion of a single pest can destroy the entire crop. In contrast, a complex climax community, such as a temperate forest, will tolerate considerable damage from weather to pests.The question of ecosystem stability is complicated, however. The first problem is that ecologists do not all agree what “stability” means. Stab ility can be defined as simply lack of change. In that case, the climax community would be considered the most stable, since, by definition, it changes the least over time. Alternatively, stability can be defined as the speed with which an ecosystem returns to a particular form following a major disturbance, such as a fire. This kind of stability is also called resilience. In that case, climax communities would be the most fragile and the least stable, since they can require hundreds of years to return to the climax state.Even the kind of stability defined as simple lack of change is not always associated with maximum diversity. At least in temperate zones, maximum diversity is often found in mid-successional stages, not in the climax community. Once a redwood forest matures, for example, the kinds of species and the number of individuals growing on the forest floor are reduced. In general, diversity, by itself, does not ensure stability. Mathematical models of ecosystems likewise suggest that diversity does not guarantee ecosystem stability—just the opposite, in fact. A more complicated system is, in general, more likely than a simple system to break down. A fifteen-speed racing bicycle is more likely to break down than a child’s tricycle.Ecologists are especially interested to know what factorscontribute to the resilience of communities because climax communities all over the world are being severely damaged or destroyed by human activities. The destruction caused by the volcanic explosion of Mount St. Helens, in the northwestern United States, for example, pales in comparison to the destruction caused by humans. We need to know what aspects of a community are most important to the community’s resistance to destruction, as well as its recovery.Many ecologists now think that the relative long-term stability of climax communities comes not from diversity but from the “patchiness” of the environment, an environment that varies from place to place supports more kinds of organisms than an environment that is uniform. A local population that goes extinct is quickly replaced by immigrants from an adjacent community. Even if the new population is of a different species, it can approximately fill the niche vacated by the extinct population and keep the food web intact.Paragraph 1: Plant communities assemble themselves flexibly, and their particular structure depends on the specific history of the area. Ecologists use the term “succession” to refer to the changes that happen in plant communities and ecosystems over time.

Climax communities themselves change but over periods of time greater than about 500 years.TPO托福阅读题目1. The word “particular” in the passage is closest inmeaning to○Natural○Final○Specific○Complex2. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true of climax communities?○They occur at the end of a succession.○They last longer than any other type of community.○The numbers of plants in them and the mix of species do not change.○They remain stable for at least 500 years at a time.Paragraph 2: An ecologist who studies a pond today may well find it relatively unchanged in a year’s time. Individual fish may be replaced, but the number of fish will tend to be the same from one year to the next. We can say that the properties of an ecosystem are more stable than the individual organisms that compose the ecosystem.3. According to paragraph 2, which of the following principles of ecosystems can be learned by studying a pond?○Ecosystem properties change more slowly than individuals in the system.○The stability of an ecosystem tends to change as individuals are replaced.○Individual organisms are stable from one year to the next.○A change in the members of an organism does n ot affect an ecosystem’s propertiesParagraph 3: At one time, ecologists believed that species diversity made ecosystems stable. They believed that the greater the diversity the more stable the ecosystem. Support for this ideacame from the observation that long-lasting climax communities usually have more complex food webs and more species diversity than pioneer communities. Ecologists concluded that the apparent stability of climax ecosystems depended on their complexity. To take an extreme example, farmlands dominated by a single crop are so unstable that one year of bad weather or the invasion of a single pest can destroy the entire crop. In contrast, a complex climax community, such as a temperate forest, will tolerate considerable damage from weather of pests.4. According to paragraph 3, ecologists once believed that which of the following illustrated the most stable ecosystems?○Pioneer communities○Climax communities○Single-crop farmlands○Successional plant communitiesParagraph 4: The question of ecosystem stability is complicated, however. The first problem is that ecologists do not all agree what “stability” means. Stability can be defined as simply lack of change. In that case, the climax community would be considered the most stable, since, by definition, it changes the least over time. Alternatively, stability can be defined as the speed with which an ecosystem returns to a particular form following a major disturbance, such as a fire. This kind of stability is also called resilience. In that case, climax communities would be the most fragile and the least stable, since they can require hundreds of years to return to the climax state.5. According to paragraph 4, why is the question of ecosystem stability complicated?○The reasons for ecosystem change are not always clear.○Ecologists often confuse the word “stability” with theword “resilience.”○The exact meaning of the word “stability” is debated by ecologists.○There are many different answers to ecological questions.6. According to paragraph 4, which of the following is true of climax communities?○They are more resilient than pioneer communities.○They can be considered both the most and the least stable communities.○They are stable because they recover quickly after major disturbances.○They are the most resilient communities because they change the least over time.Paragraph 5: Even the kind of stability defined as simple lack of change is not always associated with maximum diversity. At least in temperate zones, maximum diversity is often found in mid-successional stages, not in the climax community.

Mathematical models of ecosystems likewise suggest that diversity does not guarantee ecosystem stability—just the opposite, in fact. A more complicated system is, in general, more likely than a simple system to break down. (A fifteen-speed racing b icycle is more likely to break down than a child’s tricycle.)7. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 5 about redwood forests?○They become less stable as they mature.○They support many species when they reach climax.○They are found in t emperate zones.○They have reduced diversity during mid-successional stages.8. The word “guarantee” in the passage is closest in meaning to○Increase○Ensure○Favor○Complicate9. In paragraph 5, why does the author provide the information that “(A fiftee n-speed racing bicycle is more likely to break down than a child’s tricycle)”?○To illustrate a general principle about the stability of systems by using an everyday example○To demonstrate that an understanding of stability in ecosystems can be applied to help understand stability in other situations○To make a comparison that supports the claim that, in general, stability increases with diversity○To provide an example that contradicts mathematical models of ecosystemsParagraph 6: Ecologists are especially interested to know what factors contribute to the resilience of communities because climax communities all over the world are being severely damaged or destroyed by human activities. The destruction caused by the volcanic explosion of Mount St. Helens, in the northwestern United States, for example, pales in comparison to the destruction caused by humans. We need to know what aspects of a community are most important to the community’s resistance to destruction, as well as its recovery.10. The word “pales” in the passage is closest in meaningto○Increases proportionally○Differs○Loses significance○Is commonParagraph 7：Many ecologists now think that the relative long-term stability of climax communities comes not from diversity but from the “patchiness” of the environment, an environment that varies from place to place supports more kinds of organisms than an environment that is uniform. A local population that goes extinct is quickly replaced by immigrants from an adjacent community. Even if the new population is of a different species, it can approximately fill the niche vacated by the extinct population and keep the food web intact.11.Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incurred choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.○Ecologists now think that the stability of an environment is a result of diversity rather than patchiness.○Patchy environments that vary from place to place do not often have high species diversity.○Uniform environments cannot be climax communities because they do not support as many types of organisms as patchy environments.○A patchy environment is thought to increase stability because it is able to support a wide variety of organisms.12.The word “adjacent” in the passage is closest in meaning to○Foreign○Stable○Fluid○NeighboringParagraph 6: Ecologists are especially interested to know what factors contribute to the resilience of communities because climax communities all over the world are being severely damaged or destroyed by human activities. The destruction caused by the volcanic explosion of Mount St. Helens, in the northwestern United States, for example, pales in comparison to the destruction caused by humans. We need to know what aspects of a community are most important to the community’s resistance to destruction, as well as its recovery.13.Look at the four squares [ ] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.In fact, damage to the environment by humans is often much more severe than damage by natural events and processes.Where would the sentence best fit? Click on a square to add the sentence to the passage.14.Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below. Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the passage. Some sentences do not belong in the summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage. This question is worth 2 points.The process of succession and the stability of a climax community can change over time.Answer choices○The changes that occur in an ecosystem from the pioneer to the climax community can be seen in one human generation.○A high degree of species diversity does not always result in a stable ecosystem.○The level of resilience in a plant community contributes to its long-term stability.○Ecologists agree that climax communities are the most stable types of ecosystems.○Disagreements over the meaning of the term “stability” make it difficult to identify the most stable ecosystems.○The resilience of climax communities makes them resistant to destruction caused by humans.托福阅读真题参考答案：1. ○32. ○33. ○14. ○25. ○36. ○27. ○38. ○29. ○110. ○311. ○412. ○413. ○214. ○2 3 5托福阅读真题译文：生态系统的长期稳定植物群体可以自由地聚集，他们特殊的结构取决于聚集区域的具体历史。

托福阅读TPO1答案解析

托福阅读答案1.dramatic剧烈的，戏剧化的，就单词本身能够想到drama戏剧，所以这个应该是戏剧的形容词，原文后句说在几十米的垂直距离内，树木完全被低矮的灌木和草取代了，所以变化非常剧烈，A渐渐B复杂C可见的都不靠谱2.以lower timberline做关键词定位至本段最后一句，说有lower timberline是因为a lack of moisture，缺乏湿度，等于A选项中的没有水3.分别以upper timberline和lower timberline为关键词定位至本段倒数两句，不管是upper timberline还是lower timberline都是快速的过渡带，树还是有的，只是在向草原等等过渡，所以A错，既然是过渡，也就是边界了，B对，C没说，只有lower timberline缺水，所以D说both错4.以deciduous trees做关键词定位至原文的第三句和第四句，根据第四句说有的地方的timberline是由落叶树构成的，所以timberline上还是有落叶树的，所以选项A和B说反，D项moisture原文没说，第三句说timberline 通常是常绿树构成的，第四句说有的时候也出现落叶树，所以常绿树比落叶树出现的概率大，所以C正确5.attain获得，想到相似的obtain和retain，原文说中高纬度的树木会变形，在山脊处怎么样更高，后半句的whereas所在句与之并列，其中reach greater heights应该和考的那部分是并列的，所以attain也是reach 之意，答案是achieve，A要求B反对抵抗D忍耐都不对6.并列句，往前找，找主语，trees是正确答案，此外，被暴露在大风之下的应该是树，山谷山脊和高度都不靠谱7.prone可能，倾向于。

原文说热带地区山谷是更有利于生长的地方因为那里怎么样干涸，比较有利生长当然不容易干涸，C和D的意思都是能干涸，所以都不对，A适应不靠谱，所以B正确8..以middle and upper latitudes做关键词定位至原文第三四两句，说中高纬度地区树木在很大程度上受到积雪覆盖的时长和深度的影响，山谷地区积雪深，时间长，所以树长得不好，所以是negatively affected，选项B 和C与原文相反，D违反常识9.原句说风速增加而且会给树木很大压力，已经被blablabla证实。

正确答案：D2. The word “attributes” in the passage is closest in meaning to （Vocabulary Question）A.AscribesB.LeavesC.LimitsD.Contrasts相关原句：Having little understanding of natural causes, it attributes both desirable and undesirable occurrences to supernatural or magical forces…( Paragraph 1)本题解析：attribute意为“把…归因于”，与“ascribe（归因于，归咎于）”同义，因此选择A。

正确答案：A3. According to paragraph 1, theories of the origins of theater（Factual Information Question）A.Are mainly hypotheticalB.Are well supported by factual evidenceC.Have rarely been agreed upon by anthropologistsD.Were expressed in the early stages of theater’s development相关原句：In seeking to describe the origins of theater, one must rely primarily on speculation, since there is little concrete evidence on which to draw. ( Paragraph 1)本题解析：⽂中指出探究戏剧的发源主要依靠想象和推测（rely primarily on speculation），因为缺少确切的证据（little concrete evidence），也就是说关于戏剧起源的理论⼤都是猜测性的（hypothetical）因此选择A。

The accommodation wasnt wonderful，but we had everything we needed (beds，blankets，food)，and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didnt know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves first. Climbing out was harder than going in，but after a good deal of pushing，we were out at last. Though we werecovered with mud，we were pleased and excited by what wed done.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

托福阅读TPO18答案解析

托福阅读答案1.EXCEPT题，排除法，A的tension和做关键词定位至第二句，正确，不选；B的negatively和positively chargedparticles同样定位至第二句，但原文没有比较，所以B没说，选；C的come together和D的release做关键词定位都至倒数第二句，都正确，都不选。

2.tremendous大量的，巨大的，所以正确答案是huge。

原句说当带相反电荷的例子碰到一起的时候发生中和并释放什么样的能量，就是我们能看到的闪电，大家都知道闪电的能量很大，所以选huge，C。

A不同B增大D立刻都不靠谱。

3.以ice crystal和positively charged做关键词定位至第七句，说在这样的温度下，ice pellet和ice crystal 的碰撞转移了电荷，使得pellet带负电，crystal带正电，所以答案应该是A碰撞；B虽然也说到碰撞，但不是和负电碰撞；D的温度不是带正电的决定条件。

4.acquire获得，所以答案obtain正确，正如上题，原句说ice pellet和ice crystal的碰撞转移了电荷，使得pellet怎么样负电，crystal带正电，至少猜出acquire应该和become差不多，是个从无到有的过程，答案是B。

需要不一定有，C错；A拒绝与原文相反；D错，电荷不能产生。

5.以positively charged ice pellets做关键词定位至最后一句，说在这个很大的，带负电的区域之下，碰撞产生了positively charged pellets，所以答案是D。

A的increase in number，B的smaller和C的比较原文都没说。

6.EXCEPT题，排除法，A的ice pellets and ice crystals做关键词定位至第七句，正确，不选；B的in themiddle 做关键词定位至倒数第四句，正确，不选；C的数字做关键词定位至第六句，正确，不选；D的the base of the cloud 做关键词定位都至最后一句，但倒数第三句已经说过this process explains，也就是说原因到倒数第三句就给完了，D不是原因，错，选。
