二、具体题目分析

Passage 1：

题材：生物

题型：判断+填空

文章大意：

许多人都知道小行星撞击地球可能是恐龙灭绝的原因，而科学家研究发现，小行星撞击地球可能也是恐龙诞生的原因。

科学家通过对恐龙脚印以及化石的研究，发现了一系列元素及植物化石的情况，分析了当时发生的一系列变化。

The dinosaurs footprints and extinction

EVERYBODY knows that the dinosaurs were killed by an asteroid. Something big hit the earth 65 million years ago and, when the dust had fallen, so had the great reptiles. There is thus a nice, if ironic, symmetry in the idea that a similar impact brought about the dinosaurs' rise. That is the thesis proposed by Paul Olsen, of Columbia University, and his colleagues in this week's Science.

Dinosaurs first appear in the fossil record 230m years ago, during the Triassic period. But they were mostly small, and they shared the earth with lots of other sorts of reptile. It was in the subsequent Jurassic, which began 202million years ago, that they overran the planet and turned into the monsters depicted in the book and movie “Jurassic Park”. (Actually, though, the dinosaurs that appeared on screen were from the still more recent Cretaceous （白垩纪）period.) Dr Olsen and his colleagues are not the first to suggest that the dinosaurs inherited the earth as the result of an asteroid strike. But they are the first to show that the takeover did, indeed, happen in a geological eyeblink.

Dinosaur skeletons are rare. Dinosaur footprints are, however, surprisingly abundant. And the sizes of the prints are beasts as are as good an indication of the sizes of the beats as are the skeletons themselves. Dr Olsen and his colleagues therefore concentrated on prints, not bones.

The prints in question were made in eastern North America, a part of the world then full of rift valleys similar to those in East Africa today. Like the modern African rift valleys, the Triassic (n.三叠纪）/Jurassic American ones contained lakes, and these lakes grew and shrank at regular intervals because of climatic changes caused by periodic shifts in the earth's orbit. (A similar phenomenon is responsible for modern ice ages.) That regularity, combined with reversals in the earth's magnetic field, which are detectable in the tiny fields of certain magnetic minerals, means that rocks from this place and period can be dated to within a few thousand years. As a bonus, squishy (adj.粘糊糊的)lake-edge sediments are just the things for recording the tracks of passing animals. By dividing the labour between themselves, the ten authors of the paper were able to study such tracks at 80 sites.

The researchers looked at 18 so-called ichnotaxa (群落). These are recognisable types of footprint that cannot be matched precisely with the species of animal that left them. But they can be matched with a general sort of animal, and thus act as an indicator of the fate of that group, even when there are no bones to tell the story. Five of the ichnotaxa disappear before the end of the Triassic, and four march confidently across the boundary into the Jurassic. Six, however, vanish at the boundary, or only just splutter across it; and three appear from nowhere, almost as soon as the Jurassic begins.

That boundary itself is suggestive. The first geological indication of the impact that killed the dinosaurs was an unusually high level of iridium in rocks at the end of the Cretaceous, when the beasts disappear from the fossil record. Iridium is normally rare at the earth's surface, but it is more abundant in meteorites. When people began to believe the impact theory, they started looking for other Cretaceous-end anomalies. One that turned up was a surprising abundance of fern spores in rocks just above the boundary layer—a phenomenon known as a “fern spike”. (n.蕨类）

That matched the theory nicely. Many modern ferns are opportunists. They cannot compete against plants with leaves, but if a piece of land is cleared by, say, a volcanic eruption, they are often the first things to set up shop there. An asteroid strike would have scoured much of the earth of its vegetable cover, and provided a paradise for ferns. A fern spike in the rocks is thus a good indication that something terrible has happened.

Both an iridium (n.依) anomaly and a fern spike appear in rocks at the end of the Triassic, too. That accounts for the disappearing ichnotaxa：the creatures that made them did not survive the holocaust. The surprise is how rapidly the new ichnotaxa appear.

Dr Olsen and his colleagues suggest that the explanation for this rapid increase in size may be a phenomenon called ecological release. This is seen today when reptiles (which, in modern times, tend to be small creatures) reach islands where they face no competitors. The most spectacular example is on the Indonesian island of Komodo, where local lizards have grown so large that they are often referred to as dragons. The dinosaurs, in other words, could flourish only when the competition had been knocked out.

That leaves the question of where the impact happened. No large hole in the earth's crust seems to be 202m years old. It may, of course, have been overlooked. Old craters are eroded and buried, and not always easy to find. Alternatively, it may have vanished. Although continental crust is more or less permanent, the ocean floor is constantly recycled by the tectonic processes that bring about continental drift. There is no ocean floor left that is more than 200m years old, so a crater that formed in the ocean would have been swallowed up by now.

There is a third possibility, however. This is that the crater is known, but has been misdated. The Manicouagan ''structure", a crater in Quebec, is thought to be 214m years old. It is huge—some 100km across—and seems to be the largest of between three and five craters that formed within a few hours of each other as the lumps of a disintegrated comet hit the earth one by one.

T/F/NG

1 Dr Paul Olsen and his colleagues believe that asteroid knock may also lead to dinosaurs’ boom.

2 Books and movie like Jurassic Park often exaggerate the size of the dinosaurs.

3 Dinosaur footprints are more adequate than dinosaur skeletons.

4 The prints were chosen by Dr Olsen to study because they are more detectable than earth magnetic field to track a date of geological precise within thousands years.

5 Ichnotaxa showed that footprints of dinosaurs offer exact information of the trace left by an individual species.

6 We can find more Iridium in the earth’s surface than in meteorites.

Fill in the blank

Dr Olsen and his colleagues applied a phenomenon named 7 to explain the large size of the Eubrontes, which is a similar case to that nowadays reptiles invade a place where there are no 8 ; for example, on an island called Komodo, indigenous huge lizards grow so big that people even regarding them as 9

However, there were no old impact trace being found? The answer may be that we have 10 the evidence. Old craters are difficult to spot or it probably 11 due to the effect of the earth moving. Even a crater formed in Ocean had been 12 under the impact of crust movement. Beside, the third hypothesis is that the potential evidences --- some craters may be 13

Task 1

外贸公司员工学习外语的方式和原因，总结特点并进行比较。

word count：192

解析：两张饼图，独立各成一段。写作时注意主语的使用，常为易错点。全文动词选择一般现在时，因为图中无年份出现。

The first pie chart illustrates five different types of language training courses for employees of an export company and the second pie chart shows the reasons for study.

Looking at the courses types first, 38% of employees attend part-time evening course whereas nearly 25% of them choose to take part-time course during weekdays. Generally, more than one third of adults prefer to attend online course and intensive course, with 22% and 12% respectively. It is also interesting to note that only a few people (5%) are willing to pay the tuition by themselves.

With regard to the second pie chart, nearly half of them (45%) study for travel during holidays. The purpose of communication is another important reason for study, with 18% of employees learning for meeting people and 10% for meeting oversea clients. Finally, personal interest is relatively unimportant.

It is clear that attending part-time courses is the most popular type while travelling for holiday is the major reason for study.

TASK 2

Some scientists believe that intelligent life forms may exist on other planets and some want to send messages to contact them. Others think it is a bad idea because these life forms may be too dangerous. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

解析：双方观点讨论型，首段可不同明确自身观点，但结尾要明确自身观点。新话题，在联系外星人方面，可从科技、人类生活质量角度详细论述；反对联系外星人方面，可从其性格对人类的影响，以及外星人的意图与未知的能力角度出发，具体阐述。本文自身观点是在人类自身环境安全的情况下，可以试图寻找外星人，但无法确保人类生命的情况下，最好不要联系打扰外星人的生活。

参考范文（Word Count: 310）

With advancement of societal technology, certain scientists work for looking for other intelligent life forms who may not exist on the earth such as aliens. While some people argue that contacting with them is likely to bring danger to human. Therefore, the essay aims to critically discuss both views and come up with my own opinion.

That a number of researchers try to found other planets’ living species has to be admitted that pursing that curiosity is one of mankind’s nature. Additionally, by exchanging ideas with aliens about historical progression and academic discussion and so on, mankind’s world has the opportunity to make immense progress in modern technology by giving inspirations to scientists for pushing the frontiers of science which may solve particular thorny issues such as environmental pollution. On the other hand, as far as some researchers are concerned, it lays a solid foundation for people to possess an improved quality of life who live on other planets in order to avoid diseases and disasters brought by serve atmosphere pollution and doomsday respectively.

While, simultaneously, others claim that touching with aliens probably breaks seemingly peaceful earth and brings unexpected danger. Firstly, it is likely that being greedy, exploitative and violent, aliens are searching for somewhere to harvest for water, minerals and fuel, contributing to meeting unprecedented risk by telling them the man’s existence. Furthermore, people know nothing of extraterrestrial intelligence intentions and capabilities so it is impossible to predict whether they will be benign or hostile. For example, earthlings will may be slaughtered and enslaved as colonized countries in the past time.

From a personal perspective, earthlings can try to search for other unique life forms in various planets, but without promising to guarantee human’s lives, it would not better send messages to aliens and disturb their daily lives.

Danny called my dame and I was completely shocked because I never expected to see him again after heard the news about him studying aboard.

He told me that his family moved to the nearby city and he just came back for seeing his grandparents. We decided to have some beers so that we could relax ourselves and share some updates to each other. Danny told me that he picked information technology as his major in college because he thought it would be easier to find an intern or job opportunity in the U.S.. I was a little bit surprised that he did not become a business student which he planned in the high school.

At the same time, I shared some of my university life stories to him, which made him laughed for a while. I want to know more about Danny because we were really close in the high school. Even though we may change during the time we did note meet, I could still feel the brotherhood between us.
