这个暑假，我们在原来口碑极好的上课模式基础上，大大增加了真题的练习量。各位可能也发现了，今年ETS一直在大批量重复老题。这种情况会一直持续下去，今天也不例外。各位看下面这张图。
这篇阅读是今天托福考试B卷里的一篇阅读，也是我们最近的集训班上周日刚刚模考的一篇阅读。这篇阅读重复的是2014-05-11大陆真题。
当然，今天重复的不止是这篇。各位看下面的重复情况。
1. A卷阅读Day Length and Reproductive Timing in Animals，重复2016-03-11大陆真题；
2. A卷阅读The United States Interstate Highway System，重复2016-06-04 B卷，之后又在2016-09-25和2017-03-04 B卷考过，也就是说，这篇阅读已经考过四遍；
3. B卷阅读Cambrian Explosion，重复2015-09-05大陆真题；
4. A卷听力对话T-shirt，重复2015-08-22大陆真题；
5. B卷听力对话Wellness fair，重复2014-07-12大陆真题，这篇对话当年难倒一片，今天估计也是如此。好多人一直纠结这篇对话里booth这个单词，其实就是“小隔间，展位”的意思。
6. A卷听力讲座impasto，重复2016-12-03大陆真题；
7. 今天的综合写作，重复2016-06-04大陆真题。
既然最近ETS疯了似的重复考老题，而华叔从2011年开始考托福至今，已经还原了129套托福真题。我们最近一直在思考的是，如何让更多的考生跟随我们刷题，刷题的同时，通过华叔超精确高水平的讲解，不断提升考生的能力。

综合写作回顾
阅读主要观点提取：
总论点：考古学家对于埃及大金字塔内部隧道的用途提出了三种理论。
分论点一：第一种理论认为隧道被用于通风。建造金字塔的工人由于点火照明产生的烟会产生呼吸困难，因此隧道很有可能是用来促进空气流通，以便于工人呼吸。
分论点二：第二种理论认为隧道可能是为了对应星星的位置而被建造。科学家发现隧道的位置和某些星星的位置一致，并且在古埃及，不同星星代表不同的神，因此，可能出于宗教原因，才建造了隧道。
分论点三：第三种理论认为建造隧道是为了帮助国王的灵魂去往来生。因为古埃及人相信死去国王的灵魂会离开身体进入来生，所以隧道很有可能是作为它前往来世的通道。
听力主要观点提取：
总论点：阅读中的三个理论都是有问题的，没有人知道修建这些隧道的目的。
分论点一：通风理论是不成立的。因为金字塔内下层房间的隧道无法到达外墙，因此无法达到通入新鲜空气。塔内的四个隧道十分相似的，他们的功能应该是相同的，然而只有两个隧道具备有通风功能，所以这个解释是不成立的。
分论点二：隧道与星星位置相对应的理论也是不成立的。因为星星与神相关联的现象在古埃及后期才出现，而金字塔是在早期建立的，因此宗教原因并不成立。
分论点三：尽管古埃及人相信国王的灵魂会进入来生，但这并不代表它需要一个通道。在其他金字塔中人们为死去的国王建了象征性的通道，如假门，说明他们认为灵魂可以穿越墙壁，不需要建立隧道。
学生满分范文：
The reading material proposes three theories to explain the purpose of the shafts found in the Great Pyramid. However, the lecture believes all of them are problematic and the purpose of these shafts is still unknown.
First, the professor contends that the shafts are not for ventilation, which contradicts the reading material’s first theory. Different from the higher shafts, the shafts coming from the lower chamber could not reach the outside wall and thus couldn’t bring in fresh air. Since the four shafts are similar, they should have the same purpose. But only two can bring in air from the outside, ventilation is probably not the shafts’ purpose.
Second, the lecture disagrees with the star alignment theory put forward by the writer. The association between specific stars and specific gods in the ancient Egypt did not appear until the later years. But the pyramid was built during the earlier years and no such connection during the period was discovered in record. Therefore, religious reasons cannot explain the shafts, either.
Finally, although the professor admits that ancient Egyptians’ belief in the travel of king’s spirit to afterlife, she contends it does not necessarily mean the travel needed an actual shaft. In other pyramids for dead kings, Egyptians built symbolic passageways like false doors for the king’s spirit, which indicates they believe the spirit could easily cross through walls and didn’t need actual opening like shafts. The professor’s argument denies the third theory proposed by the writer.
