2019托福阅读高频词汇之“祸不单行”It never rains but it pours.pour的本意是“倾，倒”，在这里是“倾盆大雨”的意思，就好像水从天上哗哗地倒下来一样。
平时很少下雨，一下就是倾盆大雨，要是被你赶上了岂不是很倒霉呢?形容这样悲惨的情况，就可以用It never rains but it pours.来看两个例句：We had nothing to do for weeks, then suddenly we have all this work to do: it never rains but it pours!我们已经无所事事了几个星期，突然间有这么多工作要做，真是祸不单行啊!I missed my train this morning, lost my wallet and spilt coffee all over myself. It never rains but it pours.今天早上我错过了火车、丢了钱包、还把咖啡洒了一身。
真是祸不单行啊!有趣的是，世界上还真的有常年遭受倾盆大雨之患的地方，例如喀麦隆的Debundscha：The village of Debundscha in the Republic of Cameroon is thought to be one of the wettest places on earth. Its location at the foot of Mount Cameroon, facing the South Atlantic Ocean, gives it a long rainy season and a very wet climate with about 10,300 millimetres of rainfall every year.喀麦隆共和国的Debundscha是世界上最潮湿的地方之一。

2019托福阅读考试真题(9)
0308 托福试题阅读（ 55minutes）Question 1-11If food is allowed to stand for some time, it putrefies .When theputrefied materialis examined microscopically ,it is found to be teeming with bacteria. Where do thesebacteria come from , since they are not seen in fresh food? Even until themid-nineteenthcentury, many people believed that such microorganisms originated by spontaneous(5 ) generation ,a hypothetical process by which living organisms develop from nonlivingmatter.The most powerful opponent of the theory of spontaneous generation was the French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur(1822-1895).Pasteur showed that structurespresent in air closely resemble the microorganisms seen in putrefyingmaterials .He did(10)this by passing air through guncotton filters, the fibers of which stopsolid particles. Afterthe guncotton was dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and ether, the particles that it hadtrapped fell to the bottom of the liquid and were examined on a microscopeslide .Pasteurfound that in ordinary air these exists a variety of solid structures ranging in size from0.01 mm to more than 1.0 mm .Many of these bodies resembled the reproductive (15)structures of common molds, single-celled animals, and variousother microbial cells .As many as 20 to 30 of them were found in fifteen liters of ordinary air ,and they couldnot be distinguished from the organisms found in much larger numbers in putrefying materials .Pasteur concluded that the organisms found in putrefying materials originatedfrom the organized bodies present in the air .He postulated that1these bodies are constantly(20)being deposited on all objects.Pasteur showed that if a nutrient solution was sealed in a glass flask and heated toboiling to destroy all the living organisms contaminating it, it never putrefied .The proponents of spontaneous generation declared that fresh air was necessary forspontaneous generation and that the air inside the sealed flask was affected in some way(25)by heating so that it would no longer support spontaneous generation. Pasteurconstructed a swan-necked flask in which putrefying materials could he heated to boiling, but aircould reenter. The bends in the neck prevented microorganisms from getting in the flask.. Material sterilized in such a flask did not putrefy.1,What does the passage mainly discuss?(a)Pasteur ’ s influence on the development of the microscope.(b)The origin of the theory of spontaneous generation .(c)The effects of pasteurization on food.(d)Pasteur ’ s argumentnstagaithe theory of spontaneous generation .2,The phrase “ teeming with ” in line 2 is closest in meaning to (a)full of(b)developing into(c)resistant to(d)hurt by3,Which of the following questions did the theory of spontaneous generation attempt to answer?(a)What is the origin of the living organisms are seen on some food?(b)How many types of organisms can be found on food?(c)What is the most effective way to prepare living organisms for microscopic examination?(d)How long can food stand before it putrefies?4,The word “ resemble ” in line 9 is closest in meaning to(a)benefit from(b)appear similar to2(c)join together with(d)grow from5,The purpose of the “ guncotton ” mentioned in paragraph 2 was to (a)trap particles for analysis(b)slow the process of putrefaction (c)increase theairflow to the microscopic slide (d)aid the mixing ofalcohol and ether6,The author mention “ 1.0mm” in line 14 in describing the (a)thickness of alayer of organisms that was deposited on an object (b)diameter of the fibers thatwere in the guncotton filters (c)thickness of the microscope slides that were used(d)size of the particles that that were collected7.The word “ postulated ” in line 19 is closest in meaning to (a)analyzed(b)doubted(c)persuaded(d)suggested8.The objects that Pasteut removed from the air in his experiment were remarkablebecause they were(a)primarily single-celled organisms(b)no different from objects found in putrefying materials (c)fairlyrare(d)able to live in a mixture of alcohol and ether9.The word “ it ” in line 22 refers to(a)a nutrient solution(b)a glass flask(c)boiling(d)spontaneous generation10.According to paragraph 3,proponents of spontaneous generation believed thatwhich of the following was important for the process to succeed ?(a)A sealed container(b)Fresh air3(c)Heat(d)The presence of nutrients11.It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that Pasteur employed a swam-necked flask to(a)store sterilized liquids for use in future experiments(b)prevent heat from building up in a solution (c)disprove acriticism of his conclusions (d)estimate the number of organismsin a liter of airQuestions 12-20In the early decades of the United States ,the agrarian movement promoted the farmeras society ’heros. In the minds of agrarian thinkers and writers ,the farmer was a person on whose well-being the health of the new country depended .The period between the Revolution, which ended in 1783,and the Civil War ,which ended in 1865 ,was the age of(5 )the farmer in the United States .Agrarian philosophers ,represented most eloquently byThomas Jefferson, celebrated farmers extravagantly for their supposedcentrality in a goodsociety, their political virtue ,and their Superior morality .Andvirtually all policy makers, whether they subscribed to the tenetsof the philosophy held by Jefferson or not, recognized agricultureas the key component of the American economy .Consequently ,government at (10)all levels worked to encourage farmers as a social group and agriculture as economicenterprise.Both the national and state governments developed transportation infrastructure,building canals, roads, bridges, and railroads ,deepeningharbors ,and removing obstructions from navigable streams .The nationalgovernment imported plant and animal varieties and(15)launched exploring expeditions into prospective farmlands in the West .In addition ,government trade policies facilitated the exporting of agricultural4products.For their part ,farmers seemed to meet the social expectations agrarian philosophershad for them ,as their broader horizons and greater self-respect, both products of the Revolution ,were reflected to some degree in their behavior .Farmersseemed to become(20)more scientific ,joining agricultural societies and reading the farm newspapers that sprangup throughout the country .They began using improved implements, tried newcrops andpure animal breeds , and became more receptive to modern theories of soil improvement .They also responded to inducements by national and state governments .Farmers streamed to the West ,filling frontier lands with stunning rapidity .Butfarmers responded(25)less to the expectations of agrarians and government inducements than togrowing market opportunities .European demand for food from the United States seemed insatiable . War, industrialization , and urbanization all kept demand high in Europe . United States citiesand industries grew as well; even industries not directly related to farming thrived becauseof the market, money ,and labor that agriculture provided .12.What does the passage mainly discuss? (a)The agrarianphilosophy of Thomas Jefferson(b)The role of the national government in the development of agriculture(c)Improvements in farming techniques(d)The impact of the increased importance of the farmer13.The word “ depended ” in line 3 is closest in meaning to (a)improved(b)relied(c)demanded(d)explained14.The author mentions Thomas Jefferson in paragraph 1 as an5example of(a)a leader during the Revolution(b)an inventor of new farming techniques(c)a philosopher who believed farmers were essential to the creation of a goodsociety(d)a farmer who guided the agrarian movement toward an emphasis on economic development15.The phrase “ subscribed to ” incloslinest8 inis meaning to(a)contributed to(b)agreed with(c)thought about(d)expanded on16.Which of the following statements is supported by the information in paragraph 1?(a)All government policy makers accepted Jefferson ’views of agriculture and farmers.(b)Agricultural production declined between 1783 and 1861.(c)The majority of farmers worked for the government.(d)Agriculture was a vital part of the nation ’ s economy.17.According to the passage , the national and state governments did all of the following EXCEPT(a)build roads(b)import new plant varieties(c)give farmers money for their crops(d)develop policies that helped farmers export their products18.All of the following are mentioned as examples of farmers ’ meeting the expectations of agrarian philosophers EXCEPT (a)obtaining information from farm newspapers(b)accumulating personal wealth(c)planting new crops(d)becoming more scientific19.The word “ stunning ” in line 24 is closest in meaning to(a)predictable(b)impressive6WORD格式(c)famous(d)gradual20.Which of the following statements is best supported by paragraph 4?(a)Agricultural development contributed to development in other parts of the economy.(b)European agricultural products were of a higher quality than those produced inthe United States.(c)The growing settlement of the West led to a decrease in agricultural production.(d)Farmers were influenced more by government policies than by market opportunities. Question 21-29The wide variety of climates in North America has helped spawn a complexpattern ofsoil regions. In general, the realm ’ s soils also reflect the broad environmental partitioninginto “ humid America ”and “ arid America. ”Where annual precipitationexceeds 20 inches(50 centimeters),soils in humid areas tend to be acidic in chemical content,Since crops(5 ) do best in soils that are neither acidic(higher in acid content) noralkaline(higher in salt content).fertilization is necessary to achieve thedesired level of neutrality between the7two. Arid America ’soils are typically alkaline and must be fertilized back towardneutrality by adding acidic compounds. Although many of these dryland soils, particularlyin the Great Plains, are quite fertile, European settlers learned over a century ago that(10)water is the main missing ingredient in achieving their agricultural potential. In the1970’ s,certain irrigation methods were perfected and finallyprovided a real opportunityto expand more intensive farming west from the Central Lowland into the drier portionsof the Great Plains. Glaciation also enhanced the rich legacy of fertilesoils in the centralUnited States,both from the deposition of mineral-rich glacial debris left by meltwater(15)and from thick layers of fine wind-blown glacial material, called loess, in and around themiddle Mississippi Valley.Natural vegetation patterns could be displayed on a map of North America, but theenormous human modification of the North American environment in modern times hasall but reduced this regionalization scheme to the level of the hypothetical. Nonetheless,(20)the humid America-arid America dichotomy is still a valid generalization:the naturalvegetation of areas receiving more than 20 inches of water yearly is forest, whereas thedrier climates give rise to a grassland cover. The forests of North America tent to makea broad transition by latitude. In the Canadian North, needle-leaf forests dominate, butthese coniferous trees become mixed with broadleaf deciduous trees as one crosses the(25)border into the Northeast United States. As one proceeds toward the Southeast,broadleaf vegetation becomes dominant. Arid America mostly consists of short-grass prairies orstepper. The only areas of true desert are in the Southwest.821 What aspect of North America does the passage mainly discuss?(A)The wide variety of climates(B)Soil types and vegetation patterns(C)Improved irrigation methods and the expansion of agriculture(D)The change in precipitation patterns22 The word “ spawn ” in line 1 is closest in meaning to(A)distinguish(B)eliminate(C)protect(D)create23 The word “ partitioning ” in line 2 is closest in meaning to(A)division(B)modification(C)opening(D)circulating24 According to the passage, acidic soils tent to be associated with(A) a high salt content(B)an increase in farming(C)large amounts of rain(D)glacial meltwater25 The word “ enhanced ” in line 13 is closest in meaning to(A)implied(B)increased(C)indicated(D)informed26 How did glacial meltdown affect the soil in North America?(A)It redistributed the soil types(B)It added salt to the soil(C)It made the soil more neutral in content(D)It added minerals to the soil27 The phrase “regionalizationthis scheme ” in line 19 refers to the(A)movements of glacial deposits9(B)patterns of natural vegetation(C)human modification of the North American environment(D)distinction between humid America and arid America28 The word “ transition ” in line 23 is closest in meaning to(A)elevation(B)change(C)advantage(D)condition29 The passage supports which of the following statements?(A)Arid America is not necessarily characterized by the presenceof deserts(B)Most of Canada and the northeastern United States consists of short-grassprairies wherever natural vegetation has not been modified by humans(C)The accumulation of loess is primarily the result of irrigation(D)Glaciation removed the fertile layer of soil from much of the MississippiValleyQuestions 30-40Most sources of illumination generate light over an appreciable period,and indeed ifan object is lit for a very brief time(less that 1/25 second), the humaneye will not reactin time to see the object. A photographic emulsion---that is, a light-sensitive coating on photographic film, paper, or glass--- will, however,record much shorter bursts of light. A(5 ) photographic flash can therefore be used to capture high-speed movement onfilm as wellas to correct deficiencies of the normal surrounding lighting. Photoflash is now generated electronically, but the earliest form, first used in 1864, was a paper bag containingmagnesium wire and some oxygen-rich substance, such as potassium chlorate.When thebag was ignited, the metal burned with an intense flash. A contemporaryobserver reported(10)that “ this quite unsafe device seems to have done nothing worse that engulf the room in10dense smoke and lead to pictures of dubious quality and oddposes. ”The evolution of the photoflash was slow, flashbulbs,containing fine wire made of ametal, such as magnesium or aluminum, capable of beingignited in an atmosphere of pure oxygen at low pressure, wereintroduced only in the 1920 ’arliest.Inthetype, the metal (15)was separated from the oxygen by a thin glass bulb. The flash was fired by piercing thebulb and allowing the oxygen to come into contact with the metal, which ignited spontaneously. Later bulbs were fired by an electric battery,which heated the wire bypassing a small current through it. Other combinations, such as the pairing of oxygendifluoride with zirconium, have also been used. In each case enough energy is given out to(20) heat the oxidizable metal momentarily to a white-hot emissionof visible light. The smoke particles are so small that they cool rapidly; but since they are white, theycontribute to the brilliance by reflecting the light from their still-glowing neighbors. A slightly bigger form of the metal will burn for alonger time.30 What does the passage mainly discuss?(A)The history of the photoflash(B)Theories about how the eye reacts to light(C)The technology of modern photography(D)The dangers of using the early photoflash31 According to the passage,1/25 second is the minimum amount of time required for the(A)recording of an image on film(B)generation of artificial light(C)creation of a photographic emulsion(D)human eye to react to light32 According to the passage, an advantage of using a photoflash is that it11(A)can produce repeated bursts of light(B)intensities colors in photographs(C)is short enough not to bother human eyes(D)supplements existing lighting33 The word “ ignited ” in line 9 is closestni n gmeato(A)set on fire(B)cut into(C)opened(D)shaken34 Which of the following phrases is defined in paragraph 1?(A) ” appreciable period ” (line 1)(B) ” photographic emulsion ” (line 3)(C)” high-speed movement ” (line 5)(D)” odd poses ” (line 11)35 The word “ evolution ” in line 12 is closest in meaning to(A)publicity(B)adoption(C)development(D)manufacture36 The function of the glass in the first flashbulbs was to(A)produce the spark that initiated the flash(B)magnify the light produced by the flash(C)protect the photographer from the heat of the flash(D)keep the metal and oxygen apart before the flash37 The word “ it ” in line 18 refers to(A)oxygen(B)battery(C)wire(D)current38 The word “ momentarily ” in line 20 is closest iningmeanto(A)effortlessly(B)briefly(C)electronically12(D)gradually39 According to the passage, the white color of the smoke particles generated bya flashbulb contributes to(A)rapid cooling(B)bright illumination(C)electrical conductivity(D)intense heat40 According to the passage, a flashbulb can be made to burn longer by using(A)thicker wire(B)more oxygen(C)thinner glass(D)continuous electricityQuestions 41-50The stylistic innovation in paining known as Impressionism began in the 1870’ sThe. Impressionists wanted to depict what they saw in nature, but they were inspired to portray fragmentary moments by the increasingly fast pace of modern life. They concentrated onthe play of light over objects, people, and nature, breaking up seemingly solid surfaces,(5 ) stressing vivid contrast between colors in sunlight and shade, and depiction reflected lightin all of its possibilities. Unlike earlier artists, they did not want toobserve the world from indoors. They abandoned the studio, painting in the open air and recording spontaneous Impressions of their subjects instead of making outside sketches and then moving indoorsto complete the work form memory.(10) Some of the Impressionists painting’ methods were affected by technologicaladvances. For example, the shift from the studio to the open air was made possible inpart by the advent of cheap rail travel, which permitted easy and quick access to the13countryside or seashore, as well as by newly developed chemical dyes and oils that ledto collapsible paint tubes, which enabled artists to finish theirpaintings on the spot.(15)Impressionism acquired its name not from supporters butfrom angry art lovers whofelt threatened by the new painting. The term “ Impressionism ” was born in 1874,whena group of artists who had been working together organized an exhibition of theirpaintings in order to draw public attention to their work. Reaction from the public andpress was immediate, and derisive. Among the 165 paintings exhibited was one called(20)Impression: Sunrise, by Claude Monet(1840-1926),Viewed through hostile eyes,Monet ’ spainting of a rising sun over a misty, watery scene seemed messy, slapdash,and an affront to good taste. Borrowing Monet s title, art critics’ extended the term “ Impressionism to”the entire exhibit. In response, Monet and his29 fellow artists inthe exhibit adopted the same name as a badge of their unity, despiteindividual differences.(25)From then until 1886 Impressionism had all the zeal of a “ church ” , as the painter Renoirput it. Monet was faithful to the Impressionist creed until his death, although many of theothers moved on to new styles.41 What aspect of painting in the nineteenth century does the passage mainly discuss?(A)The impact of some artists’ resistance to the fast pace of life(B)The differences between two major styles of art(C) A technological advance in the materials used by artists(D) A group of artists with a new technique and approach to art42 The word “ depict ” in line 2 is closest in meaning to(A)reorganize(B)deform14(C)represent(D)justify43 According to the passage, which of the following was one of the distinguishing characteristics of Impressionist painting?(A)The emphasis on people rather than nature scenes(B)The way the subjects were presented from multiple angles(C)The focus on small solid objects(D)The depiction of the effects of light and color44 Which of the following is a significant way in which Impressionists weredifferent from the artists that preceded them?(A)They began by making sketches of their subjects(B)They painted their subjects out-of-doors(C)They preferred to paint from memory(D)They used subjects drawn from modern life45 The word “ advent ” in line 12 is closest in meaning to(A)achievement(B)acceptance(C)arrival(D)advantage46 The exhibition of paintings organized in 1874 resulted in all of thefollowing EXCEPT(A)attracting attention from the public(B) a negative reaction from the press(C)an immediate demand for the paintings exhibited(D)creating a name for a new style of painting47 The word “ affront ” in line 22 is closest in meaning to(A)insult(B)encouragement(C)return(D)credit48 The rejection of the Impressionist exhibition by critics was caused by which of the following?(A)The small number of paintings on display15(B)Lack of interest in exhibitions by young artists(C)The similarity between all the paintings exhibited(D)Anger about seemingly poorly painted art49 The author mentions Renoir in line 25 to give an example of an artist who(A)became as famous as Monet(B)was consistently praised by art critics(C)described the enthusiasm of the Impressionists for their work(D)was in favor of a traditional style of painting50 The word “ others ” in line 27 refers to(A)art critics(B)fellow artists(C)individual differences(D)new styles0308 答案ABADB CCCBA BDDCC DCDBA DACCB DBCAC DACBA BABDC BCAAD CDABACACCB CDBCB DACCC ABCDA CDCDC BDCDC BCDDC DBACBDAABA DDBAB CDBCB DCBBA BDACB DDBAA DDABC DCBBA DCDBC CADCB16。

2019年托福阅读模拟试题及答案解析托福阅读原文The Development of Steam Power【1】By the eighteenth century, Britain wasexperiencinga severe shortage of energy. Because ofthe growth of population, most of the great forests of medieval Britain had long ago beenreplaced by fields of grain and hay. Wood was in ever-shorter supply, yet it remainedtremendously important.It served as the primary source of heat for all homes and industriesand as a basic raw material. Processed wood (charcoal) was the fuel that was mixed with ironore in the blast furnace to produce pig iron (raw iron). The iron industry’s appetite for woodwas enormous, and by 1740 the British iron industry was stagnating. Vast forests enabledRussia to become the world’s leading producer of iron, much of which was exported to Britain. But Russia’spotential for growth was limited too, and in a few decades Russia would reach thebarrier of inadequate energy that was already holding England back.【2】As this early energy crisis grew worse, Britain looked toward its abundant and widelyscattered reserves ofcoal as an alternative to its vanishing wood. Coal was first used in Britainin the late Middle Ages as a source of heat.By 1640 most homes in London were heated withit, and it also provided heat for making beer, glass, soap, and other products. Coal was notused, however, to produce mechanical energy or to power machinery. It was there thatcoal’spotential wad enormous.【3】As more coal was produced, mines were dug deeper and deeper and were constantlyfilling with water. Mechanical pumps, usually powered by hundreds of horses waling incircles atthe surface, had to be installed Such power was expensive and bothersome. In an attempt toovercome these disadvantages, Thomas Savery in 1698 and Thomas Newcomen in 1705 invented the first primitive steam engines. Both engines were extremely inefficient. Bothburned coal to produce steam, which was then used to operate a pump. However, by theearly 1770s, many of the Savery engines and hundreds of the Newcomen engines wereoperating successfully, though inefficiently, in English and Scottish mines.【4】In the early 1760s, a gifted young Scot named James Watt was drawn to a critical studyof the steam engine. Watt was employed at the time by the University of Glasgow as a skilledcrafts worker making scientific instruments. In 1763：Watt was called on to repair a Newcomenengine being used in a physics course. After a series of observations, Watt saw that theNewcomen’s waste of energy could be reduced by adding a separate condenser. This splendidinvention, patented in 1769, greatly increased the efficiency of the steam engine. The steamengine of Watt and his followers was the technological advance that gave people, at least for awhile, unlimited power and allowed the invention and use of all kinds of power equipment.【5】The steam engine was quickly put to use in several industries in Britain. It drained minesand made possible the production of ever more coal to feed steam engines elsewhere. Thesteam power plant began to replace waterpower in the cotton-spinning mills as well as otherindustries during the1780s, contributing to a phenomenal rise in industrialization. TheBritish iron industry was radically transformed. The useof powerful, steam-driven bellows inblast furnaces helpediron makers switch over rapidly from limited charcoal to unlimited coke(which is made from coal) in the smelting ofpig iron (the process of refining impure iron) after1770 inthe 1780s, Henry Cort developed the puddling furnace, which allowed pig iron to berefined in turn with coke. Cort also developed heavy-duty, steam-powered rolling mills, whichwere capable of producing finished iron in every shape and form.【6】The economic consequence of these technical innovations in steam power was a greatboom in the Britishiron industry. In 1740 annual British iron production wasonly 17：000 tons, but by 1844： with the spread of coke smelting and the impact of Cort’s inventions, ithadincreased to 3,000：000 tons. This was a truly amazing expansion. Once scarce and expensive, iron became cheap, basic, and indispensable to the economy.托福阅读试题1.What can be inferred from paragraph 1 aboutBritain's short supply of wood in the eighteenthcentury?A.Wood from Britain’s great forests was beingexportedto other countries for profit.B.A growing population had required cutting down forests to increase available land forfarming.rger families required the construction of larger homes made from wood.D.What was left of the great forests after the medieval period was being strictly protected.2.Select TWO answer choices that, according to paragraph 1, are true statementsabout Russia’s iron industry in the eighteenth century.

2019年9月3日托福阅读机经预测(单科点题)
2019年9月3日托福阅读机经预测(单科点题)1.测定星球与宇宙的年龄。
先说了尝试测定地球的年龄。
但是发现地球上面的地质特征不太靠谱，因为会持续受到风吹雨打的地质腐蚀，所以人们想到了去测定陨石(meteorites)来替代，然后说陨石按照主要是石头、主要是铁还是两者兼具能够分开三个类别。
然后根据一些研究得出来的结论是地球和月球的年龄都是46亿年(4.6 billion years)。
所以最后得出来的结论是太阳的年龄也差不多，进而整个太阳系的年龄也差不多。
后面又讲了测定宇宙的年龄。
用的是红移(redshift)技术，通过“宇宙大爆炸理论+多普勒效应”能够最终测出宇宙年龄。
2.动物传播(Animal Dispersal)。
先说了动物传播所需要付出的代价/成本(cost)，除了肌肉(muscle)与能量(energy)的成本外，还会让自己暴露在捕猎者(predator)的危险之下。
那么既然有如此大得代价，为什么还要传播呢？(当然是回报更大)。
后面又说了不同性别的动物，其传播行为的特征不一样。
比如作为雄性(male)的动物，通常会比雌性(female)要迁徙得更远，雌性则守护领地。
有两个理论尝试解释这种现象。
第一种理论是说这样能够避免近亲繁殖(inbreeding)而导致的基因疾病(genetic disease)而导致后代无法繁殖。
另外一个理论的时有研究认为这种现象是因为雄性在求交配的时候会与同类竞争打架，而打输的雄性就被驱赶出族群，远离驻地。
这样的研究不适用于松鼠(squirrel)，但是却适合于狮子(lion)。
3.美索不达美亚平原文明崛起的成因探究。
传统理论认为是外因(invasion)，新的理论认为是内因。
例如，贸易的发达，举了农业的橄榄油(olive)作为例子。
这种农产品因为不会和其他作物争夺资源和劳动力，所以很适合大力生产。
其次，农业发展导致的人口增长也是文明崛起的主要原因。
再次是人口扩张使得青铜器的大力发展，青铜制作的农具、武器和装饰品的发展大大提升了手工业者在社会上的收入和地位，手工业者所以分工就更细也更明确。

托福阅读学科分类：生物
托福阅读题目：The origin of flight of birds
feature 就能体现该特征。第3段介绍了ground-up 理论，既一开始是在地上的。先有高体温协助power the muscle ,
然后发展出羽毛能够协助在抓猎物的时候保持平衡，并协助隔热。
托福阅读词汇题：
1. done many times
2. elaborate=complicated
3. retention = keeping
planets.地球就是在这种条件下行成的。一开始假设地球是cold低温的，所以urnanium等放射性物质挥发的时候，就会让水形成并从vocalno中喷发而出，于是形成了海洋。
第2段讲到该理论有些问题。问题之一是就是当前的发现表明没有那么多的火山喷发以形成今天这么广阔的海洋。第二就是该理论是以一个错误的观点为基础的。因为根据太阳系的行成原因，地球不可能以那么温和缓慢的方式行程，在比较高速的情况下，那么地球一开始的温度就是高的，而不是cold.
内容回忆：
第1段说明说明大家比较达成共识的是会A 这种化石应该能够提示鸟类的飞行水平是如何起源的，但是具体有两种理论能够参考。
第2段讲到了理论之一是tree-down theory。既起源于树上。reptile
身上比较长的鳞片会协助从树上俯冲向下gliding;越来越长了之后就发展成了羽毛，并且有助于隔热和培养出endothermy ，A鸟脚上的grasping
托福词汇题整理
托福词汇题整理一、词汇题1 - 5。
1. The word “profound” in the passage is closest in meaning to.- A. deep.- B. strong.- C. natural.- D. complex.- Passage context: The discovery had a profound impact on thescientific community. It changed the way scientists thought about theorigin of the universe.- Answer: A. “Profound” in this context means having a deep or far - reaching effect. “Strong” mainly refers to force or intensity,“natural” is related to nature, and “complex” means complicated, which are not the best synonyms for “profound” in this case.2. The word “vital” in the passage is closest in meaning to.- A. essential.- B. active.- C. living.- D. small.- Passage context: Water is vital for all living organisms. Without it, life cannot exist.- Answer: A. “Vital” here means necessary or essential. “Active” is more about being in motion or engaged in activity, “living” refers to being alive which is not the correct sense of “vital” in this context, and “small” has no relation to the meaning of “vital”.3. The word “diverse” in the passage is closest in meaning to.- A. different.- B. similar.- C. colorful.- D. unique.- Passage context: The forest is home to a diverse range of species, including birds, mammals, and insects.- Answer: A. “Diverse” means having variety or being different. “Similar” is the opposite of what “diverse” means, “colorful” is more related to color rather than variety of species, and “unique” implies being one of a kind which is not the same as diverse.4. The word “subtle” in the passage is closest in meaning to.- A. slight.- B. obvious.- C. important.- D. new.- Passage context: There was a subtle change in the weather. It was hardly noticeable at first.- Answer: A. “Subtle” means not obvious or slight. “Obvious” is the opposite of “subtle”, “important” is not related to the meaning of “subtle” in this context, and “new” has no connection to the sense of being not easily noticed.5. The word “abundant” in the passage is closest in meaning to.- A. scarce.- B. plentiful.- C. rare.- D. large.- Passage context: There are abundant resources in this region, such as coal, water, and timber.- Answer: B. “Abundant” means existing in large quantities or being plentiful. “Scarce” and “rare” are the opposite of “abundant”, and while “large” can refer to size, it is not the best synonym for “abundant” when referring to the quantity of resources.二、词汇题6 - 10。
