总论点：拍卖会上一个信封里的胶卷的摄影师有可能是Ansel Adams.
分论点一：Ansel Adam曾经拍摄过一棵生长在悬崖上的松树，恰巧这个胶卷里也有这棵松树的图片。
分论点二：Ansel Adam妻子曾经协助过他将拍摄的图片编号并记录拍摄地。恰好装胶卷的信封上手写地名的字迹很像是Ansel Adam妻子的。

总论点：阅读的观点不可信，虽然这些胶卷和Ansel Adam的作品有些相似，但这些相似处都可以得到合理的解释。
分论点一：这棵松树是优胜美地国家公园特别著名的一个标志性的地标，所以很多摄影师都曾拍摄过它。因此，胶卷的那棵松树可以是别人拍的。
分论点二：这些信封上写着一些地名，如Yosemite，但是这个地名的拼写是错的。Ansel Adam的岳父在在Yosemite有个艺术工作室，Virginia Adams从小在Yosemite长大，对这个地区十分熟悉，不可能将这个地名拼写错误。
分论点三：在1920s，生产胶卷底片的过程会用到易燃的化学品，所以十分危险。那个年代，很多摄影师的工作室都找过火。
学生满分范文
The reading offers three arguments to illustrate that the negatives are the works of Ansel Adams, a landscape photographer. Nevertheless, the listening argues that although the negatives have some similarities to Adam’s work, there are other explanations for those similarities and the negatives are probably not Adams’ work.
First, the passage says that the inclusion of a large pine tree proves it is Adams’ work because it appears in another photograph of his. However, the lecture points out that this pine tree is a famous and popular site in Yosemite national park and many photographers have taken pictures of it. Therefore, the professor believes that the first explanation proposed in the reading is not valid.
Second, as for the handwriting evidence mentioned by the author, the professor contends that some of the place names written on the envelopes were spelled wrongly, such as Yosemite. But Virginia Adams was the daughter of an artist and she was quite familiar with Yosemite. Thus it is not possible for her to spell it incorrectly. The reading’s second argument is also refuted by the listening.
Lastly, the reading puts forward the similarity of fire damage between the negatives and Adams’ works. In contrast, the listening contends that since the process of creating negatives involves flammable chemicals, it is not uncommon to cause fire when making them. Many photographers’ negatives were damaged by fire in 1920s.
