Although Internet has brought lots of benefits to our daily life, it is not a necessity. It is too extreme for the government to provide free Internet for all the
3、citizens.Granted, in today s society, internet access is important. E-mail has become a standard communication medium, and entertainment is often streamed or downloaded instead of being delivered through more traditional means. However, the internet is more of a luxury than a necessity. People in ci

If the internet failed tomorrow, we could still call each other via phone or radio. We could still watch movies on DVDs. But Internet access is not as important as building ro
5、ads. If the transportation failed, people could not live as usual like going to school or visiting some important places the streets would be filled with so many cars and people that school would probably be over before I could get there. Thus, no matter how big influence the Internet has on our lif

More money goes to the Internet means less budget on other fields. Especially in big cities, there are so many issues more important than Interne
7、t waiting to be solved. Take public transportation as an example, people in big cities average spend over 2 hours to get to work. The benefits brought from improving roads are greater than improving the Internet. After a survey pooling by the National Development and Reform Commission, ten million o
8、nbuilding roads may lead to 0.05% on economic growth, while ten million on Internet access does less good. The same story goes to other aspects like medical care, public education and so on.Furthermore, providing free Internet access does harm to economy. Internet access, operated by many private co

As such business takes up big percentage in emerging market, economy will be influenced.In conclusion, although
11、 Internet is increasingly gaining its popularity, it is not a good idea for the government to invest on free Internet.4 月 12 日托福独立写作难度分析及范文题目:Internet is as important as other service such as building roads that government should make Internet access to all the citizens at no cost.这一题是 2014 年北美机经的重复
12、，只改动了不多的内容，在大陆考区是第一次出现。因此对于备考托福的学子而言，北美真题与大陆托福机经同样重要。本题属于不太典型的利弊类题既提到了提供免费网络的优势劣势，又设计了互联网本 身的重要性，因此对考生有一些误导的作用。我的建议是化繁为简，既然互联网本身的确很重 要， 互联网连接和修建公路孰轻孰重不宜作为讨论的重点，重点放在互联网是否应免费就好。题目中已经明确提到了 citizen,对他们的影响当然是要首先考虑的。此外，题目设计政府，自然可考虑对于国家政泊、经济等各方面起到的作用，所以不难想到免费的互联网对于互联网提供商的影响也是很直接的。网络既然免费，供应商的利润自然下滑。对于普通用户而言
13、，免费的网络意味着用户的激增，自然造成服务质量的下降。从这两方面考虑，无论网络本身有多强大的功能，都抵不过这两大弊端带来的影响，所以选择否定是比较容易的立场。4 月 12 日托福写作参考范文business would go bankruptcy, all the staff would thus become unemployed, which could be a huge economic and social disaster for government.In conclusion, both considering the privileges for Internet users
14、 and the destiny of Internet Despite the huge impact of the Internet, as a convenient tool for educational, vocational and recreational purposes, offering free Internet access should be viewed as a short-sighted, ill- considered proposal. For both personal and commercial concerns, Internet with no c
15、harges will inevitably bring about unexpected fallout. Therefore, I hold my point that under no circumstances should the government provide free Internet access for the public.First, for the users of Internet, free of charge means declination of quality. So limited is the total bandwidth of Internet
16、 access, that more computers and phones connected to the Internet means slower speed for each individual user. Now, as Internet could be available only after payment, those unwilling to spend money on the Internet leaves fairly enough bandwidth for the registered users. However, were Internet free o
17、f charge for citizens, almost everyone, whether with urgent or irrelevant aims, would have connected to the Internet for 24 hours 7 days. Then, without doubt, so many citizens watching online videos, downloading large-scale softwares or chatting via video cam with more than 10 friends, the Internet
18、must be slower than those using a primitive 14.4k modem. So, for the rights to access fast enough Internet, government should never make it free.Second, for the businesses providing Internet access, free Internet services will ruin their future. As Internet become an essential part for people s life
19、, many companies working on offering fast, stable Internet access become strong business tycoons. For instance, Vodafone, one of the largest Internet service provider, has established 14 branches in different countries and recruited over 1.4 million employees. However, were free Internet service eme
20、rged, what would probably happen to these fast-growing business? Internet users, finding ways to download music or send voice mails without any charge, will soonabandon these Internet business sending bills to them every month. Then, not only suchservice providers, I strongly believe that government
21、 should never try to make Internet access free.4 月 12 日托福阅读真题回忆：第一篇：Japan 建筑的 change第一篇讲的日本建筑风格的改变，第一段概述，大概就是讲日本建筑风格改变和政体及农业改变是相关的。第二段，介绍日本的旧建筑风格是使用很多容易腐蚀的材料，日本人喜欢拆了盖，盖了 拆，move and replace,但是也算不上浪费，因为房子需要修葺，坏了的组件拿去扔掉，烧掉， 好的组件继续用。第三段，就是说日本政治结合比较多，所以一大家子人住在 palace 里，这里有题，是缩写题。第四段，随着日本发展，他们需要稳定居所，然后发现

24、有房子可以随便住，这个好，他们也要这么干.后来继承中国的方式，就有了主要宫殿和平常休闲的 summer palace。解析：本文为建筑与历史的跨学科主题，关注的是日本建筑的变化，重复 2012 年大陆题。有关曰本的文章在机经中还是比较常见的，比如考核曰本绘画风格、 陶瓷、土地私有化、教育、历史、日本气候、农业等，所以背景知识方面不属于太冷门的.参考阅读：Japanese architecture has traditionally been typified by wooden structures, elevated slightly off the ground, with tiled o
25、r thatched roofs. Sliding doors (fusuma) were used in place of walls, allowing the internal configuration of a space to be customized for different occasions. People usually sat on cushions or otherwise on the floor, traditionally; chairs and high tables were not widely used until the 20th century.
26、Since the 19th century, however, Japan has incorporated much of Western, modern, and post-modern architecture into construction and design, and is today a leader in cutting-edge architectural design and technology.The earliest Japanese architecture was seen in prehistoric times in simple pit-houses

28、omplicated techniques in wood. Influence from the Chinese Tang and Sui Dynasties led to the foundation of the first permanent capital in Nara. Its checkerboard street layout used the Chinese capita! of Changan as a template for its design. A gradual increase in the size of buildings led to standard
29、units of measurement as well as refinements in layout and garden design. The introduction of the tea ceremony emphasised simplicity and modest design as a counterpoint to the excesses of the aristocracy.During the Meiji Restoration of 1868 the history of Japanese architecture was radically changed b

The first was the Kami and Buddhas Separation Act of 1868, which formally separated Buddhism from Shinto and Buddhist temples from Shinto shrines, breaking an association between the two which had lasted well over a thousand years and causing, directly and indirectly, immense
31、 damage to the nations architecture.Second, it was then that Japan underwent a period of intense Westernization in order to compete with other developed countries. Initially architects and styles from abroad were imported to Japan but gradually the country taught its own architects and began to expr
32、ess its own style. Architects returning from study with western architects introduced the International Style of modernism into Japan. However, it was not until after the Second World War that Japanese architects made an impression on the international scene, firstly with the work of architects like

Locomotion allows the organism to test new environments fortheir suitability, provided they are within
43、 the animals range. Movements are usually guidedby inherited behaviors.The formation of barriers to dispersal or gene flow between adjacent areas can isolatepopulations on either side of the emerging divide. The geographic separation and subsequent genetic isolation of portions of an ancestral popul

Plants have limited mobility and consequently rely upon a variety of dispersal vectors to transport their propagules, including both abiotic and biotic vectors. Se

The patterns of seed dispersal are determined in large part by the dispersal mechanism and this has important implications for the demographic and genetic structure of plant pop

It may seem curious that plants have been so successful at stationary life on land, while animals have not, but the answer lies in the food supply. Plants produce their own food from sunlight and carbon dioxideboth generally more abundant

Animals fixed in place must rely on the surrounding medium to bring food at least close enough to grab, and this occurs in the three-dimensional water environment, but with much less abundance in the atmosphere.All of the marine and aquatic invertebrates whose lives are spent
