11.18托福考試解析之五：綜合寫作和口語
綜合寫作
閱讀主要觀點提取
總論點：公元120xx年前，羅馬第九軍隊的總部都在英國。但在公元120xx年前，就再也沒有過第九軍隊的記錄。閱讀中提出了三個第九軍隊到底發生了什麼的猜測。
猜測一：第九軍隊在蘇格蘭被打敗。大約在羅馬軍團從歷史中消失的時候，蘇格蘭發生了一場反對羅馬統治的叛亂。羅馬的國王派第九軍團去對抗叛亂。因此，第九軍隊很有可能在戰爭全軍覆沒了。
猜測二：第九軍隊消失在今天的新西蘭。人們在一個堡壘屋頂的瓦片上發現了第九軍隊標誌，但是在公元120xx年，這個瓦片被叛軍破壞了。因此，第九軍隊很有可能被命令去與叛軍對抗。最終，軍團損失慘重，並且選擇解散軍隊。
猜測三：第九軍隊在猶太被消滅。來自英國的羅馬統治者帶着第九軍隊去猶太鎮壓叛亂。軍隊可能在路上就全體死亡了，或者是在戰爭中全軍覆沒了。
聽力主要觀點提取
總論點：閱讀中的猜測都是不對的。
解釋一：第九軍隊並沒有留下任何的武器裝備的考古證據。第九軍隊作爲最大的軍隊之一，如果想將它徹底消滅，是需要一場巨大的戰役的。在蘇格蘭叛軍和其他羅馬軍隊打仗之後，他們都留下了破損的武器的殘骸。但是在蘇格蘭叛軍和第九軍隊打仗之後，並沒有留下這些證據。
解釋二：帶有第九軍隊標誌的磚瓦可能是從英國被帶到新西蘭的。人們並沒有在堡壘的附近發現築瓦的窯，這說明磚瓦並不是生產於新西蘭。事實上，磚瓦是生產於英國的，所以任何人都可以從英國將瓦片帶到新西蘭，並不一定是第九軍隊。
解釋三：帶第九軍對去猶太對抗叛軍並不是最佳選擇。英國位於羅馬的最西邊，然而猶太位於最東邊，統治者可以選擇駐紮在裏猶太附近的軍隊來對抗叛軍。
綜合口語
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.
