【范文】
There is a photo that has been widely spread on Sina Weibo, China’s popular Twitter-like microblogging service. In the picture, several four-or-five-year-old kids sit around the dining table while their parents are chatting with each other. Each of them holds an iPad in hand and is playing the game Angry Birds as if there is nobody around. This indicates a serious issue in today’s society. Children rely too much on technological products for fun and entertainment, which will cause severe problems. I believe that playing with simpler toys or hanging out with friends would be more beneficial for children’s growth.
First of all, it is good for children’s physical health. Playing outside with friends enable the kids to get in touch with the nature and keep away from electronic emission. On the contrary, playing games on smartphones or computers means that the children have to stare at the electronic screen for a long time. The radiation these devices give off is harmful for people’s vision. Plus, the children are still very young. Their visual system is not entirely developed and thus is vulnerable to the radiation. It will probably result in visual fatigue and thus cause shortsightedness. Playing with simpler toys or with friends can avoid this potential harm. Besides, doing some sports outside with friends such as running and playing soccer is good for children’s physical development. Evidence has shown that regular outdoor exercise is an effective way to boost adolescent growth.
Moreover, playing with friends helps develop social and communication skills. When hanging out with friends, it is necessary to communicate with them and respect everyone’s opinion. In the process, one will understand the importance of exchanging ideas and cooperation. One will also learn how to communicate with others in a more effective way. This interpersonal skill plays a vital role in one’s future life and career. However, if the kids only stay at home and play games on computers alone, they will lose the opportunity to interact with others and thus become unsociable.
Granted, the basic knowledge of these technological products is necessary, especially in modern society. However, one can learn about these devices when he or she grows older and becomes more self-controlled. Otherwise, it is likely that the children will have strong dependency on the electronic devices and even become addicted to video games.
To conclude, playing with simpler toys or with friends is much better than staring at the screen of computers and playing games. It not only benefits the children’s physical growth but also helps foster interpersonal skills. (425words)

阅读主要观点提取：
总论点：1876年，一名考古学家S挖掘了一幅黄金面具，并声称它属于古希腊一位著名的国王。然而，另一些考古学家认为这幅面具是个赝品。这副面具很有可能是S这位考古学家雇佣金匠制作出来的。
分论点一：S这位考古学家有过作假的记录。他曾经从别人那儿买过一幅人像，然后将这幅人像放到那时正在挖掘的一个遗址中，并声称自己在遗址发现了一幅人像。
分论点二：S发现的面具和其他古代坟墓中挖掘的面具不太一样。S发现的面具中的嘴唇立体感比较强并且胡须很尖，而其它真的古希腊国王的面具中的嘴唇比较扁平且胡须也并非很尖。
分论点三：S在发现了这个面具后很快关闭了这个遗址，未作进一步研究。一般来说，考古学家在一个遗址中如果发现了一些物品，肯定会作进一步的调研，而S立马关闭了该处遗址，也正说明了他明白这幅面具是假的，所以才未做进一步研究。
听力主要观点提取：
总论点：S挖掘的面具是真的(genuine)，阅读中的提到的论据是不可信的（not convincing）。
分论点一：正由于S曾经有过作假的记录，他发现的物品会被更严格的检查（be closely watched by others）。并且希腊派了专门的人（supervisors）对这处遗址进行严格地监管，S不太可能有机会将这个面具放到该处遗址。
分论点二：虽然这幅面具和大部分的面具不太一样，但是在此处遗址中有一幅面具和S发现的这幅面具很像，都有差不多的嘴唇的轮廓和较尖的胡须，
分论点三：虽然在现在看来，立即关闭那处遗址有些奇怪，但是在那个时代确实可以理解的。就像很多其它考古学家一样，S只关心是否能找到宝贝（treasure hunter），并不关注这些物品背后的文化内涵。但S发现该遗址中已经没有任何珍贵的物品时，他便立即关闭了该遗址。
【范文】
The writer presents that there are several factors to demonstrate the mask found by Heinrich Schliemann is a fake. While, the professor proves that the mask is genuine and the arguments in the reading are not convincing.
First, the writer says Schliemann had a history of fake discoveries. However, the professor suggests that because Schliemann had a bad reputation, his discoveries would be examined very closely by others. And there were many Greek supervisors guarded the site. So it was impossible that Schliemann could put the mask into the site without being found.
Second, as for the notable differences between the mask and other genuine ancient Greek masks found in other tombs, the professor points out that an old mask found in the same site was familiar with the mask found by Schliemann. The two masks have similar lines in mouth and sharp beard.
Finally, the lecturer provides a good explanation for Schliemann’s quick close of the site. Different from today’s archeologists, the ancient archeologists were only treasure hunters who just had interests in finding valuable objects and did not care about the culture of the objects. So when Schliemann found the site had no valuable objects, he chose to close the site immediately. (204words)

A student has written a letter to the campus newspaper you will have 45 seconds to read the letter, begin reading now.
Sale for Used Items on Campus
I think it would be great if the university held a sale for used items on campus, where students could sell used items that are in good condition, like books and clothing, to other students. A sale of this type would allow students to buy things they need without spending a lot of money, since used items typically sell for less than new ones. Also, many students' rooms are filled with things they aren't actually using, and this would provide an opportunity for students to sell items they don't need.
Sincerely,
Joe Davis
阅读中提到，提议在学校在校园中举办二手商品买卖活动，供以让学生卖出一些比较新的衣服或者书籍等物。
阅读中提供了两个理由：1. 学生可以借此满足自己所需，并且通过买二手商品省下一大笔钱。 2. 学生也可以通过这个机会卖掉自己寝室中堆积的不需要的杂物，从而腾出更多的生活空间。听力中的女生进一步赞同了这两个理由。
并且通过自己曾经在类似的活动中低价买到了当时很需要的自行车为例子，肯定了第一条论据。接着女生提到了宿舍的储物空间非常有限，而人们又经常舍不得丢掉自己不用的杂物，所以这样的活动可以方便人们处理自己的物品。
因此在答案中，我们先回顾了阅读中的内容，即提议举办二手商品买卖活动以及两个这样做的理由。然后说明听力中的女生的态度，并且展开说明她具体如何支持了阅读中的两个论据。
