前天的時候，也就是2024年6月26日的托福考試當中，又出現了小眾學術討論題的，而且是2023年8月份的機考舊，本期我們就帶大家一起來回顧一下該場托福考試的考情回顧吧，祝大家都能考到理想的目標分。

Task 1 重復2021.9.11

Some people like to celebrate their birthday or holidays with large gatherings orparties, Other people prefer to celebrate in quieter ways alone or with just a fewpeople. Which do you prefer? Explain why.

生日喜歡大聚會還是一個人過或者和很少的人過。

Task 2

學生提議學校把student center里面的food cart取消聽力女生不同意

1.因為沒有放置垃圾桶

2.餐車也賣水果和果汁，并且能讓學生在課間買東西吃，上課就可以保持專注。

Task 3 

Shared-Cost Effect（分攤成本效應）

Task 4

植物學，春天落葉對樹木有益有兩個原因

1.在樹木最需要額外營養的時候提供營養。果樹可以控制落葉的時間，那么落葉就可以為生長期的根莖提供額外的營養。

2.在冬天保護有葉子的樹木不受食草動物的侵害;因為冬天不落葉的樹，樹葉都會變得不這么好吃，就可以避免食草動物吃葉子，破壞樹木. 

綜合寫作

閱讀：Chesapeake Bay海灣生物減少，三個措施:

1.禁止捕撈螃蟹

2.引入亞洲牡蠣

3.教育農民不要使用化肥

聽力一一反駁：

1.禁止捕撈螃蟹，影響蟹民生計；

2.引入亞洲牡蠣，新物種可能會帶來疾病

3.使用化肥不僅僅是灣區農民，而是臨近6個州都在用，都教育不使用，不太可能。

閱讀原文參考：

The Chesapeake Bay, located in Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware on the East Coast of the United States, is the country's largest estuary (body of water where rivers flow into the ocean). Once home to thriving populations of marine life, the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem has declined greatly in recent decades. However, there are steps that can be taken to help restore the bay and its marine life.

First, strict catch limits can be set on marine creatures sucas crabs whose numbers have been declining because of overfishing. Limiting the number of crabs that can be caught would be an effective solution. Similar measures saved other bav animals in the past: at one time, the bay' population of striped bass was quite low, but after strict catch limits were put in place, bass populations returned to healthy numbers.

Another measure that can be taken is restoring the oyster population. Oysters, which are filter feeders, play a crucial role in the bay ecosystem by removing impurities from the water; unfortunately, oysters have been declining since they are vulnerable to disease. A solution would be to import Asian ovsters which are known to be resistant to the diseases in the bay. lmporting Asian oysters would help replenish the bay's oyster stocks.

Third, we need to conduct an educational campaign toconvince farmers to grow food with less fertilizer so that less fertilizer runs off and pollutes the bay. When it rains, fertilizers are washed away from fields and into streams and rivers that empty into the bay. 

學術討論：重復2023.8.10家考

Some educators think that in our global, tech-oriented world, students need to focus on nonfiction texts, such as news stories, technical manuals, or other informational materials. They say that reading poetry, novels, and short stories is not the optimal use of the limited time that students have in the classroom. How do you view this approach to education? Should schools limit the teaching of fictional texts in favor of teaching more practical, nonfiction texts?

Education has to evolve. Nowadays there's an enormous amount of economic and political data freely available online. lt's important that students can evaluate this information to understand local and world events in order to be good citizens. Reading fiction is a wonderful hobby but school should prepare, students for adult life and its responsibilities.

Claire

I spent a lot of class time in high school analyzing literature. I'm studying to be an engineer, so l admit that reading fiction in school was not directly applicable to my future occupation, but it did instill in me a love of reading, which is very valuable. I feel better equipped now to understand all sorts of written material.?
