2013年11月16日北美托福阅读机经

篇：主要讲了19世纪中期由于技术的发展使得木材尤其是松树（结实又柔韧好运输，此处有题）的普及率大大提高，因为之前的farmer都是自己去砍树，效率低。随后文章分析了几处技术的变革。包括british railroad（有题）……sth，steam等。

第二篇：Dvara…Civilization

关键词：mon language， buddha

词汇：attest to、allowing for、remote-isolated

第三篇：sauropodas是一种恐龙，特征：long necks、long tails、 small heads、and thick、pillar-like legs

1950年之前，学者认为这种恐龙是生活在水里的。后来经过分析，如果它需要在水里呼吸，胸肌必须非常发达才能承受住水压，这种压力对于目前的任何一种动物都是前所未有的。所以接下来分别讨论了它的腿和脖子，argue了一下在陆地生活的可能。腿跟大象的很像，腿虽短，至少能够支撑身体的重量和进行缓慢的行走。脖子让人想到长颈鹿，后来经过模型分析，认为它的脖子所能碰触的范围比较狭窄。

词汇题：presumably

inviting这个比较tricky，是在引入另外一个例子的语境下出现的。

综合写作：使用分散剂（dispersant）对消除oil spill对海洋造成的破坏作用到底有没有效果

阅读：不能。1、不能彻底解决问题，因为只是使石油颗粒变小，burning才能彻底消除；2分散剂对海洋里的动物有害；3、略

听力：可以。1、焚烧只能特定环境下才有效，当海洋风浪较大或流速较快时不能解决问题。分散剂把石油颗粒变小已经很不错了。因为这样就可以进一步借助海洋里的细菌分解作用消除石油颗粒；2、之前都是实验室的样本，浓度大，现实中用的不会有危害；

独立写作：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement？ The government is not educating people enough about the importance of living a balanced and healthy life style.
