一種動(dòng)物叫做M,是素食動(dòng)物,理由有三
1 跑得很慢,體重很重,逮不到可以吃的動(dòng)物
2 claw和素食動(dòng)物很像,有個(gè)鉤子,可以把樹(shù)枝拉到自己跟前吃。
3 jaw和teeth跟素食動(dòng)物很像
Listening:
反駁
1 M跑得是很慢,但是有一種動(dòng)物G比它跑的還慢。G好像有什么保護(hù)
殼,但是M的力氣足夠把G翻過(guò)來(lái),然后再攻擊。
2 M的arm structure可以移動(dòng)地很快,就可以攻擊別的動(dòng)物,像現(xiàn)在的老虎和熊一樣。
所以肯定不是只用來(lái)拉樹(shù)枝的。
3 M的jaw和素食動(dòng)物的不像。素食動(dòng)物的jaw可以move from side to side,但是為了嚼草用的,但是M的就不能。

話(huà)題:野牛bison數(shù)量的下降
閱讀觀點(diǎn):
1、人將它作為了source of food
2、動(dòng)物之間的草競(jìng)爭(zhēng)competition of grassland,例子:cattle,horse
3、新科技的發(fā)展如槍支
聽(tīng)力反駁:
1、人是從prairie東部遷徙過(guò)去的,但是bison decline是從西邊開(kāi)始的,東部也吃野牛,但是數(shù)量沒(méi)有下降。
2、bison可以在寒冷的天氣下生存,很tough,有很厚的fur還可以吃雪下面的草,而cattle和horse在冷環(huán)境下無(wú)法存活。
3、過(guò)去的科技槍支也能打的很quick和efficient,所以不是科技的事兒

Manufacturing fuel generated from algae(藻類(lèi)燃料)是近能源研發(fā)的新成就,可能會(huì)成為解決人類(lèi)能源問(wèn)題的新方案。但是閱讀文章認(rèn)為把a(bǔ)lgae fuel大規(guī)模投入使用和制造是存在一些顧慮的,三個(gè)要點(diǎn)如下:
1. 養(yǎng)殖algae需要大量的土地和水源投入。人類(lèi)社會(huì)正在面臨著有史以來(lái)嚴(yán)重的資源短缺,很多地區(qū)都出現(xiàn)了饑荒,干旱等災(zāi)難。這時(shí)如果再把珍貴資源投入algae farming顯得本末倒置,影響更多人的生活。
2. 養(yǎng)殖algae需要昂貴的facilities,cost過(guò)大。為了set up一個(gè)algae養(yǎng)殖場(chǎng),人們需要購(gòu)買(mǎi)一些昂貴的machines比如一個(gè)pump tank來(lái)處理氣體,還需要對(duì)工作人員進(jìn)行相應(yīng)的培訓(xùn),所以很有可能會(huì)收不回成本。
3. 養(yǎng)殖algae需要大量的Carbon Dioxide(CO2)??諝庵械腃O2對(duì)algae的生長(zhǎng)還不夠,需要人工制造并再灌入一些。而在這一過(guò)程中CO2不能被algae全部吸收,多余的只能排放到大氣,增加大氣中的溫室氣體,進(jìn)一步污染環(huán)境。
Listening中professor明確支持algae fuel的應(yīng)用,閱讀中的三個(gè)觀點(diǎn)被她逐一反駁:
1. 養(yǎng)殖algae的土地和水源不會(huì)造成影響,因?yàn)閍lgae對(duì)水源和土地并不挑剔。Dirty water,sea water等不能用于農(nóng)作物灌溉的水源都可以用來(lái)培育algae;同樣的,人們也可以用一些infertile的土地來(lái)farm algae。
2. 養(yǎng)殖algae的確需要很大的start-up cost,但是profit遠(yuǎn)大于cost。和corn等一年一熟或兩熟常規(guī)作物不一樣,algae一年里能被regrow20多次...也就是說(shuō),養(yǎng)殖algae的收獲率巨大,彌補(bǔ)了一開(kāi)始的支出。
3. 養(yǎng)殖algae需要的CO2不一定非要是newly generated的,和第一個(gè)點(diǎn)一樣,algae對(duì)生長(zhǎng)條件非常insensitive,人們完全可以把waste CO2 released by factories放進(jìn)pump tank,然后將其注入algae的生長(zhǎng)環(huán)境。這樣一來(lái),algae fuel production不但沒(méi)有進(jìn)一步增加碳排放污染環(huán)境,反而緩解了現(xiàn)有的污染。

閱讀: 限速(lower speed limit)好處多多
1、可以減少serious accidents
2、可以減少尾氣emission,提升air quality
3、會(huì)帶來(lái)經(jīng)濟(jì)效益,更低的速度可以可以減少汽油的耗費(fèi)從而省錢(qián)
聽(tīng)力:限速確實(shí)有好處,但效果不明顯:
1、serious accidents的減少可能是其他因素引起的,如better road condition & car equipment
2、其實(shí)并沒(méi)有改善環(huán)境呀,只有0.1%的減少,空氣質(zhì)量還是poor
3、浪費(fèi)了drivers的時(shí)間,貨物運(yùn)輸時(shí)間變長(zhǎng)了,使得成本也高了。

植物的葉子在夜間閉合的三個(gè)理論(plants fold leaves at night)
閱讀:
第一個(gè)理論:有助于保溫 protection against losing heat。
第二個(gè)理論:防止真菌感染 protection against fungal spores infection,不讓雨水進(jìn)去。
第三個(gè)理論:避免接受月光,以此跟隨季節(jié)變化。
聽(tīng)力
第一個(gè)理論:沒(méi)有幫助,因?yàn)橹参餂](méi)有internal heat,在遇到冷的天氣,尤其是冰點(diǎn)以下時(shí)不能避免凍害。
第二個(gè)理論:下雨時(shí)即便葉子閉合,也會(huì)有少量雨水進(jìn)入,而真菌fugal spores只需要少量雨水即可,因此事沒(méi)有意義的。
第三個(gè)理論:舉了一個(gè)反例。在一些denser的森林中,有些植物即便在樹(shù)蔭下接收不到月光,也會(huì)比和葉子,因此需要他的解釋。

聽(tīng)力:那個(gè)時(shí)候的很多詩(shī)歌都是由許多專(zhuān)業(yè)的抄寫(xiě)人員完成的,筆記一樣也不能說(shuō)明問(wèn)題。
第二段:

第三段:
閱讀:四首詩(shī)的作者可能不是一個(gè)人,因?yàn)樵?shī)里分別提到了英格蘭不同的地區(qū)。
聽(tīng)力:不能是幾個(gè)人,因?yàn)樗氖自?shī)里的用詞很相近,不可能不同作者用完全一樣的遣詞造句。
