Task 1

INTEGRATED

综合写作

讨论2000年在阿拉斯加发现的虎鲸orca和2010年在俄罗斯发现的虎鲸iceberg是不是同一只。

阅读给出的三种观点：不是同一只

1. 皮肤的颜色不一样，orca的皮肤颜色比iceberg的皮肤颜色深；

2. 发现的地点相距太远，相差1500km;

3. 2000年发现orca的时候，科学家通过它的fin size, 估算它的年龄大约为20岁；而在2010年通过fin size估算iceberg的年龄时，发现也是20岁左右，所以不可能是同一只；

听力逐一反驳：是同一只

1. algae（海藻）覆盖住了它的皮肤，所以看上去颜色较暗，而且皮肤颜色会随着季节变化；

2. 不同虎鲸的饮食结构不一样，一些虎鲸吃哺乳动物，一些虎鲸吃鱼类。那些吃哺乳动物的虎鲸会待在靠近海岸的地区，不会长途迁徙。而吃鱼类的虎鲸会随着鱼群迁徙长达2000公里。恰巧Iceberg就是属于食鱼类虎鲸，所以会长途迁徙；

3. 只凭fin size估算年龄是不准确的，虎鲸的fin到一定年龄就不再生长了。

本次写作考试点评：

本次新托福综合写作重复2015年12月20日和2015年4月18日大陆考题。

独立写作重复2011年11月13日大陆考题，考查了解一个人的方法，大意是从一个人所交朋友的种类可以了解很多关于他/她的情况。总体来说难度较高，需要处理朋友类型和一个人的性格、兴趣、环境之间是否有关联。当然在表达和论点论证时要注意合理和有效。

可以参考这样的答题思路：

选择支持：The type of one person’s friends can be a good indicator of one’s life outlook, the interest, and the profession.

1. In the first place, the type of one’s friends can inform us of the attitude towards life. It is universally acknowledged that the people who a person aspires to communicate with usually have some common, especially the life goal, the way they associate with others, and the measure they would like to handle specific problems in life. All consist of a person’s distinctive life outlook. It is not difficult to find that optimistic ones are fond of establishing relationship with those can confidently deal with the hardship arising in life.

2. What is more, the type of friends one socializes with can indicate the true things that can ignite his/ her passion in life. If one person has a considerable number of friends who can and enjoy playing one instrument like the saxophone, it can tell us that this person at least shows great enthusiasm in music performed by saxophone.

3. Finally, provided that one has many friends who have the identical profession, it presents that this person is interested in this domain, and highly possible the profession he/ she undertakes is loosely or tightly related with this field. For example, my uncle is a doctor himself, whose time is mostly devoted to medicine and surgery, as for him, he barely had time to socialize with people outside the hospital. Therefore, my uncle makes friends with other doctors and the other colleagues, which can further validate my propensity that friend type can be an effective factor to suggest one’s profession.
