【朗阁英语】新托福25号写作考题回顾

考试日期： 2015.10.25
Task 1
INTEGRATED 综合写作
the cause of Eocene warming
阅读文章要点：可能引起 Eocene warming 的三个原因
1. direction change of ocean currents;
2. comet struck the Earth;
3. release of massive amounts of methane into the atmosphere;
听力逐一反驳：
1. Currents do carry heat, but the heat is not enough to affect the
global scale.
2. Eocene warming occurred over a period of 1000 years. The impact
of comet would have affected the global temperature much faster,
and the temperature would have returned to normal level soon after
the atmosphere cleared up.
3. Any warming occurred due to the release of methane would have
taken thousands of years to happen. So there should be something
else that caused the sudden temperature rise of the Earth.
