2021年5月15日托福考试写作回忆真题机经范文

主题：

虎鲸是大型食肉鲸，大多数虎鲸是黑色的，有些是白色的。然而，最近几年，在北太平洋发现了一只不寻常的、几乎完全是白色的鲸鱼。2000年，在阿拉斯加附近，2010年在俄罗斯海岸附近又发现了一只被科学家昵称为“冰山”的白色虎鲸。

阅读和听力讨论Iceberg orca和Alaskan orca是不是同一鲸鱼

阅读：这是2条不同的鲸鱼

1. 虽然两张照片看上去都是浅色的鲸鱼，但是在阿拉斯加的那一条明显颜色更深。

2. 视觉发现点实在是太远了，一条是在阿拉斯加附近，另外一条是在俄罗斯附近两个地点，相隔1500多公里。这种鲸鱼往往不会走这么远。

3. 年龄不一样，通过测量背鳍判断年龄

听力：这可能是同一条鲸鱼

1. 这种鲸鱼的颜色会因为季节而产生差异。因为这种鲸鱼的皮肤表面有藻类，藻类的生长会使白色的皮肤看起来特别黑，而且阿拉斯加和俄罗斯的两条鲸鱼看到的时候是不同的季节，有可能是因为藻类的多少而使得颜色有差别，因此他们有可能是同一条。

2. 有的鲸鱼是依靠捕捉哺乳动物为生，他们的游泳距离会比较短，另外一种鲸鱼是依靠捕猎鱼类为生，它游泳的距离就会比较远，所以游到这么远也正常。

3. 依靠背鳍来估计不一定准确，因为有的鲸鱼长到20岁之后就不再生长了。而且当科学家们看到的时候，他有可能是20岁有可能是其他的年龄，有可能科学家本来就估计错了。因此有可能还是同一条鲸鱼。

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
 

Many students starting university must choose a major (main field of study at university), and parents of these students often give them advice about which major to choose. Some parents tell students to choose the major that most interests the students. Other parents tell students that it is best to choose a major that will lead to a job with a high salary, even if that major may not be the one that most interests the students.
 

Which approach do you believe is better, and why? Be sure to use your own words. Do not use memorized examples.

审题重点：

教育类话题是独立写作的高频考题，本题重复今年4.21和4.18-22其中一道考题，不少同学应该原题做过练习哦。以下是参考解题思路：

观点1 – students should be encouraged to study a major they desire.
 

TS1: Choosing a major that interest students may be more likely to engage them to learn, helping ensure a better academic performance.

TS2: Those who are free to study subjects they desire may get acquainted with congenial people, which goes a long way for their future work.

观点2- students should be encouraged to get into fields that lead to ample job opportunities with decent salaries.
 

TS1: For students coming from families who are struggling with living comfortably, they should choose a major that helps get jobs.

TS2: Selecting a career-based major increases learners’ chances of finding employment.
