第一篇Powering the Industrial Revolution
计时18min 在Word上做的 错3题。。。。高亮1题 except1题 句子位置题1题
Paragraph 1In Britain one of the most dramatic changes of the Industrial Revolution wasthe harnessing of powerUntil the reign of George (1760-1820)available sources of power for work and travel had not increased since the Middle Ages. There were three sources of poweranimal or human musclesthe wind, operating on sail or windmill; and running water. Only the last of these was suited at all to the continuous operating of machines, and although waterpower abounded in Lancashire and Scotland and ran grain mills as well as textile mills, it had one great disadvantage: streams flowed where nature intended them to and water-driven factories had to be located on their banks whether or not the location was desirable for other reasons.Furthermore, even the most reliable waterpower varied with the seasons and disappeared in a drought, the new age of machinery, in short, could not have been born without a new source of both movable and constant power.
1. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information
Running water was the best power source for factories since it could keep machines operating continuously but since it was abundant only in Lancashire and Scotland, most mills and factories that were located elsewhere could not be water driven
The disadvantage of using waterpower is that streams do not necessarilyflow in places that are the most suitable for factories which explains why so many water—powered grain and textile mills were located in undesirable places  只讲了缺点,前面的话没有提到
Since machines could be operated continuously only where running water was abundant, grain and textile mills as well as other factories tended to be located only in Lancashire and Scotland
Running water was the only source of power that was suitable for the continuous operation of machines, but to make use of it factories had to be located where the water was, regardless of whether such locations made sense otherwise.
Paragraph 2: The source had long been known but not exploited. Early in the century, a pump had come into use in which expanding steam raised a piston in a cylinderand atmospheric pressure brought it down again when the steam condensed inside the cylinder to form a vacuumThis “atmospheric engine,invented by Thomas Savery and vastly improved by his partnerThomas Newcomen, embodied revolutionary principles, but it was so slow and wasteful of fuel that it could not be employed outside the coal mines for which it had been designed. In the 1760s, James Watt perfected a separate condenser for the steam, so that the cylinder did not have to be cooled at every stroke; then he devised a way to make the piston turn a wheel and thus convert reciprocating (back and forth) motion into rotary motion. He thereby transformed an inefficient pump of limited use into a steam engine of a thousand uses. The final step came when steam was introduced into the cylinder to drive the piston backward as well as forward thereby increasing the speed of the engine and cutting its fuel consumption.
6. According to paragraph 2, Watt's steam engine differed from earlier steam engines, in each of the following ways, except:
It used steam to move a piston in a cylinder.
○ It worked with greater speed.
○ It was more efficient in its use of fuel.
It could be used in many different ways.
Paragraph 3:Watt's steam engine soon showed what it could do. It liberated industry from dependence on running waterThe engine eliminated water in the mines bydriving efficient pumps, which made possible deeper and deeper mining.The ready availability of coal inspired William Murdoch during the 1790s to develop the first new form of nighttime illumination to be discovered in a millennium and a half.
12.Look at the four squares [] that indicate where the following sentence could beadded to the passage
The factories did not have to go to the streams when power could come to the factories总述,接下去再讲这个engine用高效的水泵淘汰了矿山的水…… 可是其实也可以是先讲再总结嘛。。。还是不懂
Where would the sentence best fit?
1 2 3 4

第二篇 William Smith    用时17分 大错5小错1  我要时刻默念我是高中阅读女王。。。现在水平实在太臭了。。。。。到底怎么回事啊!!!
                                        推断题2题
Paragraph 2: This was before the steam locomotive, and canal building was at its height. The companies building the canals to transport coal needed surveyors to help them find the coal deposits worth mining as well as to determine the best courses for the canals. This job gave Smith an opportunity to study the fresh rock outcrops created by the newly dug canal. He later worked on similar jobs across the length and breadth of England all the while studying the newly revealed strata and collecting all the fossils he could findSmith used mail coaches to travel as much as 10000 miles per yearIn 1815 he published the first modern geological map “A Map of the Strata of England and Wales with a Part of Scotland”,map so meticulously researched that it can still be used today
4.Accordingto paragraph2which of the following is true of the map published by William Smith?
It indicates the locations of England
's major canals  没有提。。。不知道这题我怎么会做错
It became most valuable when the steam locomotive made rail travel possible
The data for the map were collected during Smith’s work on canals
It is no longer regarded as a geological masterpiece
Paragraph 4: As he collected fossils from strata throughout England, Smith began to see that the fossils told a different story from the rocks Particularly in the younger strata the rocks were often so similar that he had trouble distinguishing the strata, but he never had trouble telling the fossils apartWhile rock between two consistent strata might in one place be shale and in another sandstone, the fossils in that shale or sandstone were always the sameSome fossils enduredthrough so many millions of years that they appear In many stratabut others occur only in a few strata, and a few species had their births and extinctions within one particular stratumFossils are thus identifying markers for particular periods in Earth's history

8.According to paragraph 4it was difficult for Smith to distinguish rock strata because
the rocks from different strata closely resembled each other
he was often unable to find fossils in the younger rock strata
their similarity to each other made it difficult for him to distinguish one rock type from another   讲的是年轻的地层里的rocks的相似之处而不是不同种类石头的相似之处
the type of rock between two consistent strata was always the same
9. The word endured in the passage is closest in meaning to
vanished
developed
varied
survived     前做到过的词汇题。。。自己活该
Paragraph 5: Not only could Smith identify rock strata by the fossils they contained, he could also see a pattern emergingcertain fossils always appear in more ancient sediments while others begin to be seen as the strata become more recent. By following the fossils, Smith was able to put all the strata of England
's earth into relative temporal sequence. About the same time, Georges Cuvier made the same discovery while studying the rocks around Paris
. Soon it was realized that this principle of faunal (animal) succession was valid not only in England

or France

but virtually everywhere. It was actually a principle of floral succession as well, because plants showed the same transformation through time as did fauna. Limestone may be found in the Cambrian or-300 million years later-in the Jurassic strata but a trilobite—the ubiquitous marine arthropod that had its birth in the Cambrian—will never be found in Jurassic strata, nor a dinosaur in the Cambrian.
11. Select the TWO answer choices that are true statements based upon the discussion of the principle of faunal succession in paragraph 5. To receive credit, you must select TWO answers.  选2,4错一个
It was a principle that applied to fauna but not to flora

It was discovered independently by two different geologists
It describes how fossils are distributed in rock strata 从前几句就能看出
It explains why plants and animals undergo transformations through time

12. In mentioning "trilobite”, the author is making which of the following points?
Fossils cannot be found in more than one rock stratum

Faunal succession can help put rock layers in relative temporal sequence
Faunal succession cannot be applied to different strata composed of the same kind of rock
The presence of trilobite fossils makes it difficult to date a rock
这一段都没搞懂。。。连错3题
13.Look at the four squares[█]
that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage
The findings of these geologists inspired others to examine the rock and fossil records in different parts of the world

Where would the sentence best fit?
14. William Smith’s contributions to geology have increased our knowledge of the Each’s history
●2
●5
●6
Answer Choices
1.
Smith found success easily in his profession because he came from a family of geologists and surveyors.
2.Smith’s work on canals allowed him to collect fossils and study rock layers all over England
3.Smith found that fossils are much more reliable indicators of geological time than rock strata are可从第三段中找出no rock type was ever going to become a reliable time marker throughout the world
4.Smith was named “the father of English geology” for his maps rather than for his other contributions to the field.
5.
Smith and Cuvier discovered that fossil patterns are easier to observe in ancient rock strata than in younger rock strata.
6.
The discovery of the principle of faunal succession allowed geologists to establish the relative age of Earth’s rock layers.
加油加油不要放弃!!!

TPO6-第三篇:Infantile Amnesia中间被Q打断数次未计时 估计超出一点点吧 大错2小错1  TPO6算了下分22 那么烂为啥我还会有点松一口气的感觉。。。
Paragraph 3: Three other explanations seem more promising0ne involves physiological changes relevant to memory. Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain continues throughout early childhoodAnd this part of the brain may be critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that can be retrieved later. Demonstrations of infants’ and toddlers' long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earliersuch as reaching in the dark for objects, putting a bottle in a doll’s mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a toy. The brain’s level of physiological maturation may support these types of memoriesbut not ones requiring explicit verbal descriptions.
5. What 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 descriptions前半句提到但后半句不正确
Young children may form long-term memories of actions they see earlier than of things they hear or are told
Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges than of long ones
Children’s long-term recall of motor activities increases when such activities are accompanied by explicit verbal descriptions
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 it. 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 it. The better able the person is to reconstruct the perspective from which the material was encoded, the more likely that recall will be successful.
7. The word critically in the passage is closest in meaning to
fundamentally
partially  先选1再改成2的。。。因为看到后面好像有partially 本来1就犹豫嘛于是就立马改了 是记得2是部分的意思 我哭
consistently
subsequently
14. There are several possible explanations why people cannot easily remember their early childhoods
●2
●3
●6
Answer Choices
1.Preschoolers typically do not recall events from their first year.
2.Frontal lobe function of the brain may need to develop before memory retrieval can occur.
3.Children recall physical activities more easily if they are verbalized
4. The opportunity to hear chronologically按年代的 narrated stories may help three-year-old children produce long-lasting memories.MS可以从最后一段得出  Hearing the stories may lead preschoolers to encode aspects of events that allow them to form memories they can access as adultsConverselyimproved encoding of what they hear may help them better understand and remember stories and thus make the stories more useful for remembering future events. 听那些故事将有助于学龄前孩子在脑中储存已经发生的事情,以便形成他们可以像成年人那样自由提取的记忆。相反,将他们听到的故事进行更进一步的编码将有助于他们更好地理解和记忆,因此,那些故事将对他们记住将来发生的事情更有帮助。
5.The content of a memory determines the way in which it is encoded
6.The contrasting ways in which young children and adults process information may determine their relative success in remembering

TPO7第一篇:the Geologic History of the Mediterranean  用时小于18min 中间还分了点心 看来这次做的很快。。。大错3小错1.。。永远都是这样!!!
Paragraph 3 With question such as these clearly before them, the scientists aboard the Glomar Challenger processed to the Mediterranean
to search for the answers. On August 23, 1970
, they recovered a sample. The sample consisted of pebbles of gypsum and fragments of volcanic rock.Not a single pebble was found that might have indicated that the pebbles came from the nearby continent. In the days following, samples of solid gypsum were repeatedly brought on deck as drilling operations penetrated the seafloor. Furthermore, the gypsum was found to possess peculiarities of composition and structure that suggested it had formed on desert flats. Sediment above and below the gypsum layer contained tiny marine fossils, indicating open-ocean conditions. As they drilled into the central and deepest part of the Mediterranean basin, the scientists took solid, shiny, crystalline salt from the core barrel. Interbedded with the salt were thin layers of what appeared to be windblown silt.

4Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 3 about the solid gypsum layer?

It did not contain any marine fossil. 是石膏层上下包含小海洋化石 不是里面

It had formed in open-ocean conditions. 沉淀物来自开放的海洋环境而不是古体石膏层
It had once been soft, deep-sea mud.

It contained sediment from nearby deserts.


Paragraph 4 The time had come to formulate a hypothesis. The investigators theorized that about 20 million years ago, the Mediterranean
was a broad seaway linked to the Atlantic by two narrow straits. Crustal movements closed the straits, and the landlocked Mediterranean began to evaporate. Increasing salinity caused by the evaporation resulted in the extermination of scores of invertebrate species. Only a few organisms especially tolerant of very salty conditions remained. As evaporation continued, the remaining brine (salt water) became so dense that the calcium sulfate of the hard layer was precipitated. In the central deeper part of the basin, the last of the brine evaporated to precipitate more soluble sodium chloride (salt). Later, under the weight of overlying sediments, this salt flowed plastically upward to form salt domes. Before this happened, however, the Mediterranean was a vast desert 3,000 meters deep. Then, about 5.5 million years ago came the deluge. As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting, the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean now connects to the Atlantic, opened, and water cascaded spectacularly back into the Mediterranean.作为地壳调整和断层作用的结果,现在连接地中海和大西洋的直布罗陀海峡打开了,水流像瀑布一样壮观地涌回地中海。Turbulent狂暴的waters tore 猛攻into the hardened salt flats, broke them up, and ground them into the pebbles observed in the first sample taken by the Challenger. As the basin was refilled, normal marine organisms returned. Soon layer of oceanic ooze began to accumulate above the old hard layer.
10. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.

The strait
of Gibraltar reopened when the Mediterranean and the Atlantic became connected and the cascades of water from one sea to the other caused crustal adjustments and faulting.
The Mediterranean
was dramatically refilled by water from the Atlantic when crustal adjustments and faulting opened the Strait of Gibraltar, the place where the two seas are joined.
The cascades of water from the Atlantic
to the Mediterranean were not as spectacular as the crustal adjustments and faulting that occurred when the Strait of Gibraltar was connected to those seas.
As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting and the creation of the Strait
of Gibraltar, the Atlantic and Mediterranean were connected and became a single sea with spectacular cascades of water between them.明显错误 没有仔细看
11. The word “Turbulent” in the passage is closest in meaning to

fresh

deep

violent 这个可以上下文推出了 我没有好好看。。。根本没往那方面想
temperate

TPO11 阅读第一篇:Ancient Egyptian Sculpture           当当当20min不到模考版大错1小错2。。。嘿嘿虽然后面错的多但还是听哈皮的哦
Paragraph 4Apart from statuesrepresenting deities, kings, and named members of the elite that can be calledformal, there is another group ofthree-dimensional representations that depicts generic figures,frequently servants, from the nonelite population. The function of theseis quite different. Many are made to be put inthe tombs of the elite in order to serve the tomb owners in the afterlife.Unlike formal statues that are limited to static poses of standing,sitting, and kneeling, these figures depict a wide range of actions, such asgrinding grain, baking bread, producing pots, and making music, and they areshown in appropriate poses, bending and squatting as they carry out theirtasks.
11. The word depicts in the passage is closest inmeaning to  描述描画






imagines 想象虚构
classifies elevates  振奋情绪
portrays  描绘扮演
14Directions: An introductorysentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below. Complete thesummary by selecting the THREE answer that express the most important ideas inthe passage. Some sentences do not belong in the summary because they expressideas that not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage. Thisquestion is worth 2points.
The distinctive look ofancient Egyptian sculpture was determined largely by its function.


●2●3●6






Answer Choices
Thetwisted forms of Egyptian statues indicate their importance in ritual actions.


The reason Egyptianstatues are motionless is linked to their central role in cultural rituals. Stone,wood, and metal statues all display the feature of frontality.Statues were moreoften designed to be viewed in isolation rather than placed within buildings.


Thecontrasting poses used in statues of elite and nonelite Egyptians reveal theirdifference in social status.


Although the appearancesof formal and generic statues differ, they share the same function.

TPO11  后两篇         总的3篇加了一下24分 第二篇全对 第三篇做的太差啦 连错4题。。。  模考版40min一起的 第一篇用了12min不到最后剩下9min全部做完。。晕晕

TPO11 第三篇  

Paragraph 2Furtherevidence for the costs of begging comes from a study of differences in thebegging calls of warbler species that nest on theground versus those that nest in the relative safety of trees. The young of ground-nesting warblers produce begging cheeps of higher frequencies thando their tree-nesting relatives. Thesehigher-frequency sounds do not travel as far, and so may better conceal theindividuals producing them, who are especiallyvulnerable to predators in their ground nests. David Haskell created artificial nests with clay eggs and placed them on the ground beside a taperecorder that played the begging calls of eithertree-nesting or of ground-nesting warblers. The eggs “advertised” by the tree-nesters'begging calls were found bitten significantly more often than the eggsassociated with the ground-nesters' calls.
4. Paragraph 2indicates that the begging calls of tree nesting warblers

putthem at more risk than ground-nesting warblers experience


canbe heard from a greater distance than those of ground-nesting warblers

aremore likely to conceal the signaler than those of ground-nesting warblers

havehigher frequencies than those of ground nesting warblers


5. The experiment described in paragraph 2 supports which of thefollowing conclusions?
Predators are unable to distinguish between the begging cheeps ofground-nesting and those of tree-nesting warblers except by the differingfrequencies of the calls.
When they can find them, predators prefer the eggs of tree-nestingwarblers to those of ground-nesting warblers.

The higher frequencies of the begging cheeps of ground-nesting warblersare an adaptation to the threat that ground-nesting birds face frompredators

The danger of beggingdepends more on the frequency of the begging cheep than on how loud it is.

Paragraph 3Thehypothesis that begging calls have evolved properties that reduce theirpotential for attracting predators yields a prediction:baby birds of species that experience high rates of nest predation should produce softer begging signals of higher frequency than nestlings ofother species less often victimized by nest predators. This prediction wassupported by data collected in one survey of 24 species from an Arizona

forest, more evidence that predator pressure favors the evolution ofbegging calls that are hard to detect and pinpoint.

6. The word prediction in the passage is closest in meaning to

surprise

discovery

explanation

expectation改错的。。。啥时候我能改对一回


7. The word pinpoint in the passage is closest in meaning to

observe

locateexactly

copyaccurately
