各位同学们,为了督促帮助大家持续提升英语能力,培君老师们特意给大家准备了托福每日一包。每天覆盖听说读写内容,坚持完成两周以上,就能见到自己的英语能力不断上涨哟。
1.听写包 答案: As far as the parents go, well, first, they typically can’t get enough food in a single location,
so they have to visit several places on the same foraging trip.
And the locations of good foraging grounds tend to be very far apart.
And second, they can’t always nest on an island that’s closest to the best feeding ground because some of those islands have too many predators on them.
Predators that would just love some little chicks to snack on, so I don’t think they have much choice.
But it still works out because albatross fly using a technique called dynamic soaring,
which enables them to cover very long distances while expending very little energy.
If it weren’t for that, you’d be right, they would probably burn up all their energy just flying back and forth.
Another factor is albatross lay only one egg at a time,
so when the parent returns with the food that one chick doesn’t have to share it with a lot of other chicks. Yes, Nancy?
So you’re saying that they might easily fly a thousand miles over the open ocean when they’re looking for food?
That’s right.
Then how do they know how to get to the food? I mean, which direction to take to get to the food and how do they find their way back home?
Good point. And the truth is we are not sure, it’s very difficult to keep seabirds in captivity where you can study them.
And it’s very difficult to study them in the wild, you know, but we think that a lot of what we’ve learned about songbirds probably applies to seabirds as well.
就父母们飞得那么远而言,首先,它们一般在一个地点找不到足够的食物,
所以它们出去觅一趟食必须去好几个地方。
而好的觅食地点往往分布得很开。
第二,它们不能总是把巢筑在离最佳的觅食地点最近的岛上,因为一些那种海岛上有太多食肉动物。
食肉动物很喜欢吃一些小雏鸟,所以我觉得它们没什么选择。
但这还是行得通的,因为信天翁会用一种叫做动力翱翔的技巧飞行,
这使它们能飞越很长的距离,同时几乎不消耗什么能量。
如果没有那个技巧,你可能就是对的,仅仅飞个来回它们可能就会耗尽所有的能量。
另一个因素是信天翁一次只下一个蛋,
所以当父母带着食物回来时,雏鸟不用和很多其他雏鸟分食。Nancy,请说?
所以你说它们在寻找食物时也许能轻易飞过一千英里的远海?
没错。
那它们怎么知道该如何接近食物呢?我是说,它们怎么知道该飞往哪个方向才能找到食物,还有怎么找到回家的路?
问得好。事实上我们也不确定,要把海鸟关起来进行研究非常困难。
而且在野外研究它们也很困难,但是我们认为我们了解的很多关于鸣鸟的知识可能也能用在海鸟身上。

谢谢您阅读我的来信,如您能尽快问题,我将不胜感激。
3.写作包答案:
Agriculture is an important industry in China.China ranks first in agricultural output worldwide,primarily producing rice,wheat,potatoes,peanuts,tea,and cotton.Although accounting for only 10 percent of arable land worldwide,China produces food for 20 percent of the world's population.Due to China's status as a developing country and its severe shortage of arable land,farming in China has always been the labor-intensive industry.Chinese government has been paying close attention to agriculture,increasing the investment and actively carrying out irrigation and water conservancy to improve the modernization of agricultural production,which leads to a high growth rate in China's output of various agricultural products.However,due to the large population,the amount of the agricultural products per capita is small.
