【题目】whether people should protect prairie dogs
阅读要点
【阅读】There are three reasons to illustrate the bad effects brought by those prairie dogs.
1. They are agricultural pests because they will compete with cattle for grass.
2. The fleas they carry can cause bacterial disease.
3. Protecting them hardly brings benefits to the ecosystem, so it is more worth protecting large mammals.
听力要点
【听力】The messages mentioned in the reading are misleading.
1. The agricultural pests view is outdated. On the one hand, prairie dogs have changed their diets. On the other hand, cattle now feed on some specific areas. So there is no competitive relation between them. What’s more, the burrowing of prairie dogs does not harm the growth of grass, but in fact makes the land fertile, which facilitates the grass growth.
2. The incidence of a disease is very low. In the past 15 years, only 10 people got infected.
3. They do goods to the ecosystem. First, the burrows underground prairie dogs big are habitats of other animals such as snakes. Second, they are also food resources of large animals such as foxes. The disappearing of prairies dogs will endanger those species.

2. The government will cultivate advanced degree nurses who are able to share some of the workload of the primary care doctors, such as the jobs related to prescription medications and caring.
3. Uneven assigning the recourses results in uneven distribution of opportunities to get trained. And the government has realized this problem and will take actions to reassign the resources every three years among different hospitals.

【题目】威胁Inuktitut加拿大语言的三个要素
阅读要点
【阅读】Inuktitut 这种语言是在加拿大一部分地区被人使用的语言,由于说这种语言的人很少,政府采取措施保护这种语言,但是很多人认为威胁这个语言的还有一些其他因素,列举的三个威胁Inuktitut语言的因素如下:
1. 调查表明,当地有少于25%的16岁以下的人说这种语言,如果如此少的年轻人说这个语言的话,那么它传承下去的可能性比较小。
2. 当地很多的家长是渔民,需要用英语做生意,很多家长意识到了英语的重要性,于是让孩子学习英语,这个也会威胁Inuktitut语。
3. 电视和其他的媒体方式对孩子的影响比较大,但是当地Inuktitut语言的电视节目比较少,且最近还关掉了两个Inuktitut语言的节目。
听力要点
【听力】 并没有这么多的其他因素可以影响到Inuktitut语言的使用情况。
1. 调查的数据不准确,另一批研究人们研究表明,当地说Inuktitut语言的人并不是低于25%,只是说传统的Inuktitut语言的人比较少,大部分的人都是在使用现代版的Inuktitut语言。
2. 很多家长在意识到英语的重要性之后,让孩子说两种语言,及英语和Inuktitut语言都使用。
3. 再一次的调查研究表明Inuktitut语言节目在当地不论是电视还是电台都有strong appearance,并不像文章中说的那样。

话题分类:Archaeology 属性:大范围重点预测
阅读要点
【阅读】一些考古学家认为公元前两千多年的forts 不能起到很好的防御作用
1. 不是所有的sides都有walls 所以很容易受到敌人攻击
2. multiple entranceways, enemies are easy to enter
3. no evidence of water and wells , 当被包围的时候很容易败
听力要点
【听力】:这些都是误解 原因如下
1. 有些地方不用walls就可以起到防御的, 比如有悬崖峭壁cliff
2. 敌人发现Spot之前就block封锁掉
3. 可能是之前挖的井干了所以后人没看到不代表没有证据;不可能存在围攻的问题,因为敌人不会一直wait out的
