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.

14、 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 readi ng raises three unu sual features of Tita n, which are pu zzli ng. The liste ning, however, stro ngly in sist that those features are explain able. The first feature mentioned in the reading is its elliptical orbit whi

Lastly, the read ing is of the view that the sand tunes n ear the Tita n should be in the same direct ion with the wind direct ion but the opp osite is true. It is admitted in the l

What' s more,it is true that the top sand tunespoint to the east, which is in a reverse directio n to the wind. But the truth is that un der the in flue nee of the storm, its directi onhas bee n ch

The group will be helped more by person who will be willing to do what other group memberswant than by person who

20、often strongly in sists that things should be done in a way that is differe nt from what the gro up wants to do.As the core po wer of a group, the group members are obliged to spare no effortsto push forward the project in progress. However, the members of a group encompass people of differe nt char

28、p esp ecially whe n others are in agreeme nt with the plans.Needless to say, morale is to a group what soul is to huma nkind.I tend to con cede that some novel ideas and insp irati ons may tur n out to be new blood for the whole group, but that should not be an excuse for not obey ing what the major

29、ity of the members in sist. Just as an old say ing goes: the min ority is subject to the majority. Those beari ng differe nt con siderati ons should put the collective in the first p lace.From what has been discussed above, it is safe to draw the conclusion that a member willing to do what other gro

31、reen 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 2in tegrated cost more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building相比，

32、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mo ney,不是那么经济。candy falseLecture 3教授先用自己的例子引入cog ni tive的话题，再举出两个孩子的例子，分别是exp erime nt和doll exp erime nt来证明孩子和成人认知的差异，其中讲到了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 Souther n Wash ington cascade con ductor还有 geyser 的影响。2月18日托福阅读真题回忆:Passage One :

33、 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。而且春

34、季的第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。豆子可以给田地带来更多的养料。第五段说明了这些农业方式对社会生活的改变。人们比以前更依赖于合作。词汇题：Passage Two : Printing revolution话题分类：历史类 題目：打印革命史 内容回忆：共四段。第1段说明宗教革命与打印机息息相关。Martin luther的宗教革命期间大量的新宗教的小册子和宣传海报流传。第2段打印机革命与papemaking.有重大关联。以往的打印都在动物的皮毛上，十分昂 贵且不方便。后来才换成纸张。第3段，与goldsmith行业的创新有关。打印所需的heavy metal

35、要求的技术性很高。需要转换成soft metal的沾染上墨水的活印。除了 press 比较便宜之外，其余都比较贵。 例如一部圣经的价格相当于一座房子了。因此一开始是商人自己找市场，但一开始后，迅 速在欧洲蔓延。当时流行的主要书种是宗教和哲学方面的书。第4段说明打印机变革带来的社会影响。语言上通过重复使得语言标准化。法律更能统一 的推行。教育方式和法律培训方式也受到了改变。词汇题：Passage Three A evoluti on of grassla nd and herbivores第1段讲到草比起其它植物的优势之处是它成功的防御机制。草被切割时，损失的是它生 命生长中最不重要的一部分，而

36、把最basal的部分保留了下来。第2段讲到传统观点认为是气候变化造成了了草场的进化。草场生长于在Prairie andsavanna分布的更加广泛，而在canopy forest较为少见。后者的生长环境更为湿润。以前认为气候变化造成草场进化，进而造成食草动物的进化。比如新西兰某地气候适宜草场发第3段反对理论指出可能是食草动物的进化造成了草场。展，可是是在人类引入了食草动物之后草场才广泛发展的；因为其它的植物并不具备足够第4段说有可能是食草动物的进化导致了那些草场的发展，的防御机制来满足它们的需求。词汇题：1.Herbivores=a ni mals who eats grass2.Subseq

38、worried about making newfriends there, I would recomme nd that he should join a book club since he loves readi ng no vels all the time. It will be quite easy to break the ice if P hili p and members of the club share some in terest in, say, the new Harry Potter book. They can have discussi ons over

39、a cup of coffee about the highlights in the book and its releva nee to the first seven novels. While Philip expresses how thrilled he is when he reads the book, other members of the club can relate to the situati on. Naturally ,P hil ip can make some new friends at the new school.T2Many people prefe

T3标题 : Research Thesis Presentation原因 1 ：学生可以 gather wider range of topics and ideas by reading 原因

43、 2 ：虽然论文通常很长很复杂，但是他们可以给别人看提纲和重点节选。 听力态度 :反对the原因 1 ：学校的 websites 有更多的信息可以去获得，帮助学生扩大知识面。 原因 2 ：论文通常很复杂很长，节选或提纲只能让别人有一个片面的认识，不能看到 whole picture.Students are supposed to make a presentation on their research theses to gather a wider range of topics and ideas by reading others theses.Although their thes

44、es are often long and complicated, students can give outlines and highlights of their theses. The woman/manfinds the plan unconvincing. Firstly, the students in this university can have other ways to get information for their theses. They can get more information on the website of the university so

45、that they can know a wider range of topics for academic development. Secondly, the theses are too long and too complicated for students to handle. Outlines and highlights can only give students a partial picture rather than a whole picture of the arguments in the theses.阅读ambient 人们在回忆过标題： Peak-End

46、Rules 定义：与传统的将广告放到电视、报考、杂志上不同， 去的经历时通常只会回忆起记忆最深刻和发生在最后的事情。 听力 例子 : 教授去旅游前几天天气很不好，只能在室内读书，看电视。后来天气变好了，他们 出海去航行，看到很美妙的风景，看到成群的鲨鱼，特别棒的体验。后来几天就很普通， 在沙滩上看书和放松。旅行结束时参加了一个 party ，认识了一个来自同一个地方的人。 当他的同事问他这次旅行，他只提到第二段出海和最后 party 认识一个新朋友的。而没有 提到别的。The professor uses his personal experience to illustrate the co

Some p rimates use their tails to wrap around the bran ches so tightly that it is almost impo ssible for them to fall from the tree if they are careful with their movements on the tree. Another adaptationis to

55、 measure in accuracy thedista nee betwee n bran ches. When there is a wider dista nee betwee n the branch the p rimates are sta nding and the other bran ch, it makes more sense if the p rimates swing rather tha n run to their dest in atio n. Un der this circumsta nee, the p rimates measure the dista

57、减少小规 模生产的农民们的贫困，但是小规模生产的农民们对于 palm oil 生产的控制时间并不长， 随后大的规模的生产机构也对 palm oil 感兴趣，这样小规模生产的农民们将失去对 palm oil 生产的控制，增收很少。Basically, the professor in the lecture makes three statementsregarding palm oilproduction, and these statements cast some serious doubt on the reading material which says that palm oil

58、production should be expanded because it has positive consequences.To begin with, the professor argues that although palm oil has higher efficiency compared with other oil and growing palm tree consumes less land than cultivating other crops, the expansion of palm oil production actually will lead to i
