2015年8月22日托福写作真题及答案解析Integrated Writing:Independent Writing:Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: The most effective way for government to encourage energy conservation is increasing the price of gasoline and electricity.Nowadays, frequent power cut or the drain of oil supply has become a serious problem that concerns us with its damage to not only the environment, but also our efficiency in work and study. Although some people propose to raise the cost of fuel as a solution to this issue, I personally believe that it is not the best way to solve the problem of air pollution.Indeed, increasing the cost of gasoline and electricity can conserve energy to some extents. Considering the higher price of the fuel, more people would reduce their use of private cars or shut down lights and the air-conditioner when leaving home. As a result, the reduced number of cars leads to a decrease in demand to the gasoline and hence make the use of energy more efficiency. However, this solution does not solve the problem completely. Even the price of the gas goes up, most people would still choose to pay because fuels are the basic need for them to work and travel. Such necessity is not able to be replaced, and conservative problems would continue to be a problem. For example, my mom drives to work every day because there are no subway or buses between our home and her working place. Moreover, the public transportation is way too time-consuming and less comfortable.For government, exploiting new energy sources, on the other hand, is a better alternative to energy conservation because it’s a stable solution that will solve the problem eternally. Cars that are powered by solar energy, for example, do not have to worry about the limited power supply, since it uses a long-lasting and powerful battery to absorb and store the energy from the sunlight and then use this energy to power the cars. According to research conducted by scientists in Japan and China, by holding the transformation rate between solar energy to electricity to 28 percent, the solar energy cars do not have to recharge itself and can keep running under the sun for 18 hours. Based on this, cars driven by solar energy would push the limits of energy to a new level.Moreover, spreading out the concept of conserving energy is another more effective way to achieve the goal. In fact, there are certain group of citizens who are concerned with extravagant energy use, and they are quite cautious in using electricity, water and oiling their cars. If the government can take measures to educate more people with the same principles, energy consumption might drop considerately. Henry’s father used to be a truck driver when he was young. He is so fond of driving truck that he even go to nearby Walmart by his Toyota Tundra. After Henry was lectured about the energy crisis in many developing countries like India, he was aware of the fact that by saving energy as much as possible himself, he was able to help a family in New Deli to use electricity constantly for a night. Furthermore, he asked his father to join him and persuaded him to change driving truck into some clean energy car, namely Prius. By doing this, they might save certain amount of gasoline that could help poor people in Northwest Tibet use heaters in winter.All in all, I believe raising the cost of the fuel is not the best way to conserve energy, since they are better alternatives such as applying new energy sources and necessary education to more people about necessity on energy crisis.外朗教育免费直播课：/html/tuofukecheng/zhiboke/。

Neverthelethe volume of serious — i.e. seriously intended — writing which I produced all through my childhood and boyhood would not amount to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had ‘chair-like teeth’ — a good enough phrase, but I fancy the poem was a plagiarism of Blake's ‘Tiger, Tiger’. At eleven, when the war or 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a patriotic poem which was printed in the local newspa-pe-r, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished ‘nature poems’ in the Georgian style. I also attempted a short story which was a ghastly failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on pa-pe-r during all those years.However, throughout this time I did in a sense engage in literary activities. To begin with there was the made-to-order stuff which I produced quickly, easily and without much pleasure to myself. Apart from school work, I wrote vers d'occasion, semi-comic poems which I could turn out at what now seems to me astonishing speed — at fourteen I wrote a whole rhyming play, in imitation of Aristophanes, in about a week — and helped to edit a school magazines, both printed and in manuscript. These magazines were the most pitiful burlesque stuff that you could imagine, and I took far letrouble with them than I now would with the cheapest journalism. But side by side with all this, for fifteen years or more, I was carrying out a literary exercise of a quite different kind: this was the ma-ki-ng up of a continuous ‘story’ about myself, a sort of diary existing only in the mind. I believe this is a common habit of children and adolescents. As a very small child I used to imagine that I was, say, Robin Hood, and picture myself as the hero of thrilling adventures, but quite soon my ‘story’ ceased to be narcissistic in a crude way and became more and more a mere description of what I was doing and the things I saw. For minutes at a time this kind of thing would be runningthrough my head: ‘He pushed the door open and entered the room. A yellow beam of sunlight, filtering through the muslin curtains, slanted on to the table, where a match-box, half-open, lay beside the inkpot. With his right hand in his pocket he moved acroto the window. Down in the street a tortoiseshell cat was chasing a dead leaf’, etc. etc. This habit continued until I was about twenty-five, right through my non-literary years. Although I had to search, and did search, for the right words, I seemed to be ma-ki-ng this descriptive effort almost against my will, under a kind of compulsion from outside. The ‘story’ must, I suppose, have reflected the styles of the various writers I admired at different ages, but so far as I remember it always had the same meticulous descriptive quality.When I was about sixteen I suddenly discovered the joy of mere words, i.e. the sounds and associations of words. The lines from Paradise Lost —So hee with difficulty and labour hardMoved on: with difficulty and labour hee.which do not now seem to me so very wonderful, sent shivers down my backbone; and the spelling ‘hee’ for ‘he’ was an added pleasure. As for the need to describe things, I knew all about it already. So it is clear what kind of books I wanted to write, in so far as I could be said to want to write books at that time. I wanted to write enormous naturalistic novels with unhappy endings, full of detailed descriptions and arresting similes, and also full of purple passages in which words were used partly for the sake of their own sound. And in fact my first completed novel, Burmese Days, which I wrote when I was thirty but projected much earlier, is rather that kind of book.I give all this background information because I do not think one can assea writer's motives without knowing something of his early development. His subject matter will be determined by the age he lives in — at least this is true in tumultuous, revolutionary ages like our own — but before he ever begins to write he will have acquired an emotional attitude from which he will never completely escape. It is his job, no doubt, to discipline his temperament and avoid getting stuck at some immature stage, in some perverse mood; but if he escapes from his early influences altogether, he will have killed his impulse to write. Putting aside the need to earn a living, I think there are four great motives for writing, at any rate for writing prose. They exist in different degrees in every writer, and in any one writer the proportions will vary from time to time, according to the atmosphere in which he is living. They are:【2015专⼋真题】。

Besides, the book has stood the test of time by repeated quo tations andcritical reviews from following researchers, exerting profound influences on an yone engaged in thefield of capitalist market.I believe reading such a classical book from an authoritative writer will produce a life-enri ching andthought-provoking effect for all club mrs.52.As is depicted above, a number of young people are having a gathering of friends, but in stead oftalking with each other, each of them is addicted to his or her mobile phone. The lower part of thepicture, we can see some Chinese characters which read the meeting in mobile-phone era.Undoubtedly, the author of the picture aims at reminding us of the double edge of the ce ll phone.It is well known that thanks to the development of human civilization, many for merly unimaginablethings come into reality. A case in point is the mobile phones. We mu st admit that the smart phoneindeed dramatically changes our life. However, if used impr operly, the mobile phones also can bringunhealthy side-effects, and imperil face to face c ommunication between people. It is not too muchto say that being over-addicted to mobi le phones will cost our health, wisdom, creativity, friendshipand even our ability to live.Weighing the pros and cons of both sides, perhaps the best policy is to regulate it in suc h a way asto maximize its advantages. At the same time, we must avoid its harmful part. Furthermore, youngpeople should be advised that spending too much time in using sma rt phones is bad for them.原文出处：/html/exam/graduateschool/20141229/94759.html。

结尾段：总结上文，重申立场。
In recent years, the prevalence of computer games has exerted a significant effect on children’s life. As to whether they affect children negatively, there is an endless debate.Despite the fact that playing computer games is an effective way to relieve pressure, the problems associated with study and health cannot be neglected.Clearly, playing computer games is regarded as a main factor leading to poor academic performance. With the entertaining nature, computer games will easily distract children from their studious pursuits. With the passage of time, children will probably fall behind their peers in academic development. In addition, when children spend too much time playing computer games, they are less likely to participate in physical activities, which is one reason why many children suffer from obesity. As a result, these overweight children’s confidence may be undermined and their health may be negatively influence as well.Despite these disadvantages, the advantages can still not be ignored. First of all, the latest research shows that game-playing helps children to home their communication and interpersonal skills. In many cases, players work together in teams to achieve goals, competing against other players. Therefore, their social skills and teamwork spirit are put to the test. Also, computer games can have positive and therapeutic effects on players. Games provide an opportunity for children to decompress and tune out of strains and stresses of everyday life. Giving their time to rest is critical for emotional and mental well-being.In conclusion, it is not advisable for children to play computer games, for the reasons that it not only has a negative impact on their study, but also makes them lose confidence, although computer games provide a form of relaxation.题目类别政府提问方式A/D考试题目Some people think governments should focus on reducing environmental pollution and housing problems to help people prevent illness and disease.

2015年8月GRE阅读逻辑题翻译解析(邳州刘琦)
GRE阅读逻辑题Avionics is a portmanteau word meaning “aviation electronics.” It is a term that has evolved over the last 40 years as airplane instrumentation has evolved from mostly mechanical to largely electronic.Avionics 是由“aviation electronics”这两个单词合成而来的合成词，意思是航空电子设备。
它是近40年来出现的航空术语。
在此期间，飞机上的仪器由主要使用机械的向主要使用电子的转变。
Today, avionics makes up the large part of the cost of any aircraft. Guidance and navigation systems are integrated. Communications includes public address systems for communicating with passengers, intercoms for communicating with flight crews, and radio or SatCom for communicating with ground personnel. In addition, planes today have weather radar, lightning detectors, automatic flight control systems, and collision-avoidance systems. All of these systems must work in tandem in order for the plane to fly.当今，任何一个航空器，其电子设备都占整个造价的绝大部分。

"One year ago we introduced our first product, Bargain Brand breakfast cereal. Our very low prices quickly drew many customers away from the top-selling cereal companies. Although the companies producing the top brands have since tried to compete with us by lowering their prices and although several plan to introduce their own budget brands, not once have we needed to raise our prices to continue making a profit. Given our success in selling cereal, we recommend that Bargain Brand now expand its business and begin marketing other low-priced food products as quickly as possible."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
文本大意：1年前我们推出了第一种产品Bargain Brand早餐麦片，我们非常低廉的价格迅速从一些销量最大的麦片厂商那里吸引了大量客户。
尽管这些生产顶级品牌的厂商曾经试图通过降低价格来与我们竞争，并且有一些公司打算推出他们自己的廉价品牌，但我们从不需要通过涨价来维持贏基于销售麦片的成功，我们建议Bargain Brand尽快扩展业务，开始推出其他的廉价品牌。
Fallacies
1. Non-causal relationship.无因果，The director unfairly assumes that it is the low price of Bargain Brand that attracted those customers.
2. Incomplete information.信息不完整。
The argument contains no information concerning the actual profits of the company after Bargain Brand cereal was introduced, thus we cannot evaluate whether the cereal selling strategy was successful.
3. Inferring a future condition from a past condition.从过去推知未来。
The director over- optimistically assumes that the strong sales of Bargain Brand breakfast cereal last year will continue in the following years.
4. Insufficient evidence.论据不充分.The director fails to provide any substantial evidence to show why other companies' strategies constitute no threat to our company.
5. Changing scopes.差异范围草率推广. The director hastily assumes that the company will succeed in selling other food products through their low-price strategy.
论证要点：本题问题首先在于作者并没有提供公司推出BB之后利润方面的信息，因而无法判断BB的推出除了吸引客户之外还有没有其他意义。
其次，就算BB的推出十分成功，是低价策略也不能保证。
另外，BB的低价策略是否能应用于其他食品也存在问题。
