Titan 不是一个单一的卫星，周边的卫星群相互作用，相互影响，就使得它呈现椭圆形 轨道。 2. 洼地和坑不是火山和碰撞造成的，而是强降雨导致的。 3. 沙丘方向和风向确实相符，它上面的沙丘确实斜面朝东，那是因为暴风改变风向把沙吹 往东边的。 The reading raises three unusual features of Titan, which are puzzling. The listening, however, strongly insist that those features are explainable. The first feature mentioned in the reading is its elliptical orbit which is different from the common satellites whose orbit is circular. This phenomena is explained by the listening which reminds us that there are other satellites which move around Titan. The nearby satellites could exert influence on titan, hence leading to the elliptical phenomena. As to the second point, it is believed in the reading that the usual feature of massive depression, which should have been caused by volcanic eruption, but there is no volcano on Titan. The listening pushes forward another theory that instead of being caused by volcanic eruption and collision, the massive depression and crater formed as a result of storm. The reading, therefore, is wrong again. Lastly, the reading is of the view that the sand tunes near the Titan’s equator should be in the same direction with the wind direction but the opposite is true. It is admitted in the listening that the direction of sand tunes is originally in conformity to the wind direction. What’s more,it is true that the top sand tunes point to the east, which is in a reverse direction to the wind. But the truth is that under the influence of the storm, its direction has been changed. As a result, the last phenomena is also explainable. 独立 Topic: Sometimes we are assigned to work in a group on a project. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The group will be helped more by person who will be willing to do what other group members want than by person who often strongly insists that things should be done in a way that is different from what the group wants to do. As the core power of a group, the group members are obliged to spare no efforts to push forward the project in progress. However, the members of a group encompass people of different characteristics, divergent way of thinking and working styles, as a result of which, someone may unconditionally follow the group's orders, while someone maybe always critical about them. As far as I am concerned, the former is more favorable when considering benefiting the whole group. Primarily and undeniably, a higher working efficiency could be achieved if the group members could comply with the whole group’s rules and targets. During the process of accomplishing a project, team cooperation is of great significance, which could be realized by the wholehearted dedication of all members with their divergence being eliminated. Evidently, team cooperation is in direct proportion to the working efficiency of the group. By contrast, if a group member, when assigned tasks, always goes against the whole group’s progressing direction and working targets, a bunch of time will be wasted. What’s worse, direct conflict may arise, which brings forth great obstacles standing in the way before the project is started. It is due to such a disagreement within the group that exerts side effects on the working efficiency. Apart from working efficiency, another important benefit of choosing a compliant group member is all team members will work with greater impetus. Compared with harmony, disagreement never fail to fuel bias and possibly discrimination, hence creating a negative state of mind. Under such circumstance, almost everyone loses the impetus and motivation to struggle in the group, no matter how ambitious and aggressive they are before. Just imagine, an English association is going to conduct an English speaking contest. Every member of the group is allocated with certain assignment like purchasing required necessities, site layout, selecting the contestants and so on, with the purpose of guaranteeing the smooth progression of the contest. If someone of them refuses to accept the assignment by arguing that things should be arranged in another way, it may turn out to be great hazard to the morale of the group especially when others are in agreement with the plans. Needless to say, morale is to a group what soul is to humankind. I tend to concede that some novel ideas and inspirations may turn out to be new blood for the whole group, but that should not be an excuse for not obeying what the majority of the members insist. Just as an old saying goes: the minority is subject to the majority. Those bearing different considerations should put the collective in the first place. From what has been discussed above, it is safe to draw the conclusion that a member willing to do what other group members want is more favorable for a group, not only for a higher working efficiency but also for a greater impetus. 2 月 18 日托福听力真题回忆： 学生找历史老师问问题，要找一些课上要用的资料，老师建议她去史料馆查询，学生不知 道 ID 密码，老师说会以发邮件的形式告知密码；学生还担心自己的 drawing skill，老师 安慰她说书上有 Greek art and photocopies 可供参考等，解决了学生的疑问。女生去 找电台管理员，提出一些建议，建议播放一些有关 Green frog 和 the growth rate of aquatic plant 水生植物话题的科学栏目，管理员告诉她近期播放节目的情况，并且告诉 她要去获得一些职工的批准。 Lecture 1 教授讲述了蝴蝶的两个生长时期及其特征，年幼时期为 caterpillar，成年时期会产卵 broods，环境特征会影响产卵的地点，而且成年的蝴蝶产卵数量也不同等。 Lecture 2 学科分类: Architecture 标題: Green Architecture 教授采取师生互动的方式，探讨了 Green Architecture 的话题，跟传统的 integrated building 相比，绿色建筑的优点是环保，而且能与周边环境十分和谐,但是需要 cost more money，不是那么经济。 Lecture 3 教授先用自己的例子引入 cognitive 的话题，再举出两个孩子的例子，分别是 candy experiment 和 doll experiment 来证明孩子和成人认知的差异，其中讲到了 false belief,阐述了认知的特征。 Lecture 4 教授围绕三种火山，讲述了表层火山活动因为不同的地理位置特征而发生变化，其中重点 讲了 Southern Washington cascade conductor 还有 geyser 的影响。 2 月 18 日托福阅读真题回忆： Passage One：Agricultural revolution 话题分类：农业类 题目：农业革命 本文共四段。第一段讲了传统是用 scratch plow 耕作，但是并不适用于北欧的坚硬土地。 有几项重要的生产方式革新影响了农业革命的发生。 第 2 段说明了 horseshoe 的发明有助于马能够站的更稳。新的 collar 套在马的肩背上 脖子上也使得马不窒息，更容易使力。 第 3 段说明传统的 scratch plow 只能在松软的土地上工作，发明了 heavy plow 可以 使得在硬地上工作。鉴于以往的田地都是正方形的，但是 heavy plow 很难掉头，所以 将田地改成了欧洲典型的长条田地。而且 heavy plow 需要合作才能推动。 第 4 段说明了轮作方式由一年两次改为了一年三次大大增加了种植的总面积。而且春季的 豆子可以给田地带来更多的养料。
