11.18托福考试解析之五：综合写作和口语

综合写作

阅读主要观点提取

总论点：公元120xx年前，罗马第九军队的总部都在英国。但在公元120xx年前，就再也没有过第九军队的记录。阅读中提出了三个第九军队到底发生了什么的猜测。

猜测一：第九军队在苏格兰被打败。大约在罗马军团从历史中消失的时候，苏格兰发生了一场反对罗马统治的叛乱。罗马的国王派第九军团去对抗叛乱。因此，第九军队很有可能在战争全军覆没了。

猜测二：第九军队消失在今天的新西兰。人们在一个堡垒屋顶的瓦片上发现了第九军队标志，但是在公元120xx年，这个瓦片被叛军破坏了。因此，第九军队很有可能被命令去与叛军对抗。最终，军团损失惨重，并且选择解散军队。

猜测三：第九军队在犹太被消灭。来自英国的罗马统治者带着第九军队去犹太镇压叛乱。军队可能在路上就全体死亡了，或者是在战争中全军覆没了。

听力主要观点提取

总论点：阅读中的猜测都是不对的。

解释一：第九军队并没有留下任何的武器装备的考古证据。第九军队作为最大的军队之一，如果想将它彻底消灭，是需要一场巨大的战役的。在苏格兰叛军和其他罗马军队打仗之后，他们都留下了破损的武器的残骸。但是在苏格兰叛军和第九军队打仗之后，并没有留下这些证据。

解释二：带有第九军队标志的砖瓦可能是从英国被带到新西兰的。人们并没有在堡垒的附近发现筑瓦的窑，这说明砖瓦并不是生产于新西兰。事实上，砖瓦是生产于英国的，所以任何人都可以从英国将瓦片带到新西兰，并不一定是第九军队。

解释三：带第九军对去犹太对抗叛军并不是最佳选择。英国位于罗马的最西边，然而犹太位于最东边，统治者可以选择驻扎在里犹太附近的军队来对抗叛军。

Task 3

Reading: Discontinue the campus Jazz Choir

ents’ interest about the Choir is low.

e’s an alternative choir for other students to go.

Listening: The girl in the conversation thinks that they should not do this.

First of all, she is in the choir, and the reason is really the rehearsal schedule. Right now, they rehearse three times a week and that is too much of a time commitment. If the university can reduce the rehearsal to once a week, it will help a lot. Second, she said it is a different when it comes to the alternative choir. Since that choir plays classical music, and a lot of student do not like listening to classical music, including her.
