备考PTE是一个不断努力自我超越的过程。每一个PTE考生在复习过程中,都一定受到了其他PTEer或多或少的
鼓励和无私的分享。也许我们和他们从未谋面,素不相识,但其他同学给予我们的帮助,却是那么的真真切
切,异常珍贵。尤其是在机经的整理分享上,如果没有众多同学细致的整理和无私,一份份宝贵的真题机经将

RP Re-order paragraphs 段落排序

1. Visit Turkey/参观土耳其 #7232 2020-03 本月高频

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

If you want to visit Mars, visit Turkey.


That’s where you’ll find lakes so salty that the only bugs able to live there are species that could probably survive on
Mars as well.
For that reason, microbiologists in Turkey have surveyed the array of species that inhabit the Acigol, Salda and Yarisli
lakes.
They’re hopeful that studying some of them will yield useful insights into the kinds of biology that could help microbes
exist on Mars or other potentially habitable planets and moons.

2. Totalitarian/极权主义者 #7212 2020-03 本月高频


暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

回忆要点:有点难。总共5句。1是介绍totalitarianism的概念;2中有such governments;3中有the government; 4/5中指


代词都有they。如果遇到这个题,多花时间看看两个they的指代吧。

3. The speed/速度 #7108 2020-01 本月高频


暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

To overcome the pull of gravity and reach another body in space you need to achieve a certain speed.
A journey to Mars from Earth's surface requires a minimum total speed of nearly 30,000mph.
This requires large rockets, tonnes of fuel, and complex orbital maneuvering.
Due to the moon's weaker gravitational field, the same journey from the lunar surface would "only" require a speed of
6,500mph (2.9km/s).
This is roughly one third of that necessary to reach the International Space Station from Earth.

4. Japanese studying English/日本小孩学英语 #7106 2020-01 本月高频

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

This paper summarizes some of the major data gathered in a longitudinal, naturalistic study of a Japanese girl learning
English as a second language (Hakuta 1975b).
The subject in this study is Uguisu, 'nightingale' in Japanese.
Her family came to the United States for a period of two years while her father was a visiting scholar at Harvard, and
they took residence in North Cambridge, a Working-class neighborhood.
The children in that neighborhood were her primary source of language input.
Uguisu also attended public kindergarten for two hours every day, and later elementary school, but with no tutoring in
English syntax. Most of her neighborhood friends were in her same class at school.

research by XXX (一个人名,网上资料显示是Will and his colleague, 我不记得是不是这人);另一句是this study XXXX ; 根据
自己的回忆我排的顺序是; 1. research by XXXX — 2. the infant was dressed in blue and was called Adam and
sometimes it was dressed in pink and was called Beth. 3. There were three toys in the room: a train (boy stereotype), a
doll (girl stereotype) and a fish (neutral). 4. This study ... (这句里面好像提到adult 怎么样怎么样来着,具体细节实在不记

8. Ants' prediction/蚂蚁预测 #7015 2019-12 本月高频

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

It’s often said that ants can predict impending rain and respond by changing their behaviour.
Some people say that if you see ants building their mounds higher, or building them from different materials, this
might signal the coming of rain.
But is there any scientific evidence to support this piece of folk wisdom?
The short answer is “no”, although it is a difficult question to answer partly because of the sheer diversity of ants –
there are 13,000 named species on the planet!

9. Blue halo/蓝光晕 #7013 2019-12

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

Latest research has found that several common flower species have nanoscale ridges on the surface of their petals
that meddle with light when viewed from certain angles.
These nanostructures scatter light particles in the blue to ultraviolet colour spectrum, generating a subtle effect that
scientists have christened the 'blue halo'.
By manufacturing artificial surfaces that replicated 'blue halos', scientists were able to test the effect on pollinators, in
this case foraging bumblebees.
They found that bees can see the blue halo, and use it as a signal to locate flowers more efficiently.

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

The Newnes railroad was closed in 1932 after 25 years of shipping oil shale.
The rails were pulled out of the 600-meter tunnel, which had been bored through the sandstone in the Wollemi
National Park, and the tunnel was left to its own devices.
For Newnes, that meant becoming home to thousands and thousands of glow worms.
The glow worm is a catch-all name for the bioluminescent larvae of various species, in this case, the Arachnocampa
richardsae, a type of fungus gnat. Found in massive numbers in caves, the fungus gnat larvae cling to the rocky walls
of the abandoned tunnel and hunt with long, glowing strings of sticky mucus.

half feet apart.
The hole at one end contained milk from a bottle, while the hole at the opposite end contained only an empty bottle
and delivered a puff of air in calves' faces.
The calves learned quickly which side of the pen held the milk reward.

Lumia@PTE黑科技编选的个人机经 Reading 阅读部分

The spread of prosperity across the world, especially in China and India, is driving an increased demand for meat,
eggs, and dairy, boosting pressure to grow more corn and soybeans to feed more cattle, pigs, and chickens.

Hip hop emerged as a reaction to the gang culture and violence of the South Bronx in the 1970s, and daily experiences

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

According to experts, feeding birds is probably the most common way in which people interact with wild animals
today. More than 50 million Americans engage in the practice, collectively undertaking an unwitting experiment on a
vast scale.
Is what we’re doing good or bad for birds?
Recently, researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology sought to answer this question, analyzing nearly three decades’
worth of data from a winter-long survey called Project FeederWatch.
Preliminary results suggest the species visiting our feeders the most are faring exceptionally well in an age when one-
third of the continent’s birds need urgent conservation.
Still, what are the consequences of skewing the odds in favor of the small subset of species inclined to eat at feeders?
What about when the bird we’re aiding is invasive, like our house finch?

53. Copernicus/哥白尼 #5726 2019-01 本月高频


暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

Copernicus probably hit upon his main idea sometime between 1508 and 1514. For years, however, he delayed
publication of his controversial work, which contradicted all the authorities of the time.
The historic book that contains the final version of his theory, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium libri vi ("Six Books
Concerning the Revolutions of the Heavenly Orbs"), did not appear in print until 1543, the year of his death.
According to legend, Copernicus received a copy as he was dying, on May 24, 1543.
The book opened the way to a truly scientific approach to astronomy. It had a profound influence on later thinkers of
the scientific revolution, including such major figures as Galileo, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton.

Last summer the editors of the Harvard Educational Review warned that mayoral control can reduce parents' influence
on schools.
And they pointed to Mr. Bloomberg's aggressive style as an example of what not to do.
All this must be weighed up by the New York state legislature in 2009, when mayoral control is up for renewal—or
scrapping.

Not all wildlife is created equal in our eyes.


Take the earthworm, which doesn’t have the widespread appeal of larger, more charismatic animals such as gorillas,
tigers or pandas.
Worms are never going to get a strong “cute response”, and they won’t ever be the face of a conservation campaign.
But what Darwin rightly recognized is that – panda fans avert your eyes – worm conservation is much more important
once we factor in their provision of what we now call “ecosystem services”, which are crucial to human survival.

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

The expanding influence of Copernicanism through the seventeenth century transformed not only the natural
philosophic leanings of astronomers but also the store of conceptual material accessible to writers of fiction.
During this period of scientific revolution, a new literary genre arose, namely that of the scientific cosmic voyage.
Scientists and writers alike constructed fantastical tales in which fictional characters journey to the moon, sun, and
planets.
In so doing, they discover that these once remote worlds are themselves earth-like in character.
Descriptions of these planetary bodies as terrestrial in kind demonstrate the seventeenth-century intellectual shift
from the Aristotelian to the Copernican framework.

which looked at changes in brain functionality and or behavior.
The studies show that playing video games can change how our brains perform, and even their structure.

Professor Les Ebdon, director of Fair Access to Higher Education, has said universities can no longer make excuses
about the number of poorer students they take on.
In a statement issued yesterday, Prof Ebdon dismissed the argument from the country’s most selective universities,
which claim that young people from poorer backgrounds generally secure worse grades.
Such defenses from the country’s most elite universities “do not hold water”, Prof Ebdon said, as he urged the
institutions to do more to widen their intakes.

the farthest corners of the globe. 第四句关键词naturalist The five-year voyage was the making of Darwin, providing him

The communities of ants are sometimes very large, numbering even to 500 individuals.
And it is a lesson to us that no one has ever yet seen quarrel between any two ants belonging to the same community.
However, it must be admitted that they are in hostility not only with most other insects, including ants of different
species, but even with those of the same species if belonging to different communities.
I have over and over again introduced ants from one my nests into another nest of the same species; and they were
invariably attacked, seized by a leg or an antenna, and dragged out.
It is evident, therefore, that the ants of each community all recognize one another, which is very remarkable.

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

The top executives of the large, mature, publicly held companies hold the conventional view when they stop to think of
the equity owners' welfare.
They assume that they're using their shareholders' resources efficiently if the company's performance - especially ROE
and earning per share - is good and if the shareholders don't rebel.
They assume that the stock market automatically penalizes any corporation that invests its resources poorly.
So companies investing well grow, enriching themselves and shareholders alike, and ensure competitiveness;
companies investing poorly shrink, resulting, perhaps, in the placement of management.
In short, stock market performance and the company's financial performance are inexorably linked.

The topography of the ocean floors is none too well known, since in great areas the available soundings are hundreds
or even thousands of miles apart.
However, the floor of the Atlantic is becoming fairly well known as a result of special surveys since 1920.
A broad, well-defined ridge — the Mid-Atlantic ridge — runs north and south between Africa and the two Americas
and numerous other major irregularities diversify the Atlantic floor.
Closely spaced soundings show that many parts of the oceanic floors are as rugged as mountainous regions of the
continents.
Use of the recently perfected method of echo sounding is rapidly enlarging our knowledge of submarine topography.
During world war II great strides were made in mapping submarine surfaces, particularly in many parts of the vast

Ever since the completion of the Great Western Railway, in the 1840s, intrigue has swirled around the Box Tunnel, a

The question was this: did the railway’s creator, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, really have the tunnel carved in such a way
that when the sun rose on his birthday—April 9th—it would be flooded with light?
This past Sunday, April 9th, the railway’s current engineers decided to test the rumor once and for all. They weren’t
disappointed.
“When you look from the east portal, the cutting provides a lovely V-shape,” communications manager Paul Gentleman
told the Guardian.
While the west side’s view wasn’t quite so impressive, the engineers generously chalked that up to centuries of dirt and

Humans appear to be the only species which is able to translate their communication into another medium, and in

So reading is a very special ability that we have.
Reading also is special because, unlike language, most children have to be taught to read, write and spell.
So though we may be predisposed to being able to read and usually have the abilities necessary to master reading, it
is something that most of us only accomplish through the direct help of others.

city.
The main temblor, having a 7.7–7.9 magnitude, lasted about one minute and was the result of the rupturing of the
northernmost 296 miles of the 800-mile San Andreas fault.
But when calculating destruction, the earthquake took second place to the great fire that followed.
The fire, lasting four days, most likely started with broken gas lines (and, in some cases, was helped along by people
hoping to collect insurance for their property — they were covered for fire, but not earthquake, damage).

Jean Briggs has worked with the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic and has described how, within these communities,
growing up is largely seen as a process of acquiring thought, reason and understanding (known in Inuit as ihuma).
Young children don't possess these qualities and are easily angered, cry frequently and are incapable of understanding
the external difficulties facing the community, such as shortages of food.
Because they can't be reasoned with, and don't understand, parents treat them with a great deal of tolerance and
leniency.
It's only when they are older and begin to acquire thought that parents attempt to teach them or discipline them.

Take an underperforming company.


Add some generous helping of debt, a few spoonful of management incentives and trim all the fat.
Leave to cook for five years and you have a feast of profits.
That has been the recipe for private-equity groups during the past 20 years.

New Ventures is a program that helps entrepreneurs in some of the world’s most dynamic, emerging economies--
Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia and Mexico.
We have facilitated more than $203 million in investment, and worked with 250 innovative businesses whose goods
and services produce clear, measurable environmental benefits, such as clean energy, efficient water use, and
sustainable agriculture.
Often they also address the challenges experienced by the world’s poor.
For example, one of the companies we work with in China, called Ecostar, refurbishes copy machines from the United
States and re-sells or leases them for 20 percent less than a branded photocopier.

105. Ecological footprint/生态足迹 #4252 2018-06

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

Ecological footprint accounting measures the demand on and supply of nature.


On the demand side, the ecological footprint measures the ecological assets that a given population requires to
produce the natural resources it consumes.
It tracks the use of six categories of productive surface areas; cropland, grazing land, fishing grounds, built-up land,
forest area, and carbon demand on land.
On the supply side, a city, state or nation’s bio-capacity represents the productivity of its ecological assets.
Both the ecological footprint and bio-capacity are expressed in global hectares —— globally comparable, standardized
hectares with world average productivity.

This leads the tectonic plates on top to slowly jostle one another.
The buildup and sudden release of friction from this movement can cause earthquakes.
The movement also creates gaps in tectonic plates, which reduce the pressure on the mantle beneath it, allowing it to
melt and push through.

Fast forward to 2016 and the big, successful Airbnb is considered a mainstay of what we now call "the sharing

It is also the business that defines the mentality of the millennial.

Dependence, rivalry, envy, emulation: painting and photography, like members of a dysfunctional yet inseparable
family, just cannot cast off lineages of influence and appropriation.
Photography, from its appearance in 1839, looked to painting for fundamental models of depiction.
Yet it threw the older medium into crisis, removing at a stroke painting’s unique capacity to bear witness.
How these two media leapfrogged through the Victorian age, defining themselves against one another, is the subject
of Tate Britain’s exhibition Painting with Light.

The European Union has two big fish problems.


One is that, partly as a result of its failure to manage them properly, its own fisheries can no longer meet European

The other is that its governments won’t confront their fishing lobbies and decommission all the surplus boats.
The EU has tried to solve both problems by sending its fishermen to West Africa. Since 1979 it has struck agreements
with the government of Senegal, granting our fleets access to its waters.
As a result, Senegal’s marine ecosystem has started to go the same way as ours.

Anyone wanting to get to the top of international business, medicine or academia (but possibly not sport) needs to be
able to speak English to a pretty high level.
Equally, any native English speaker wanting to deal with these new high achievers needs to know how to talk without
baffling them.
Because so many English-speakers today are monoglots, they have little idea how difficult it is to master another
language.
Many think the best way to make foreigners understand is to be chatty and informal.
This may seem friendly but, as it probably involves using colloquial expressions, it makes comprehension harder.

All animals have a strong exploratory urge, but for some it is more crucial than others.
It depends on how specialized they have become above all during the course of evolution.
If they have put all their effort into the perfection of one survival trick, they do not bother so much with the general
complexities of the world around them.
So long as the ant eater had its ants and the koala bear had gum leaves, then they are satisfied and the living is easy.

There is a growing consensus that, if serious action is to be taken to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in
Canada, a price must be applied to those emissions.
There are, however, challenges associated with the political acceptability of carbon pricing.
If Canada implements a carbon price on its own, there are worries that Canadian factories will relocate to other
countries to avoid the regulation.
Even if other countries act in concert with Canada to price carbon, the effects will be uneven across sectors, and
lobbying efforts by relatively more-affected sectors might threaten the political viability of the policy.

By the 1950s, the development of civil jets grew, beginning with the de Havilland Comet, though the first widely used

In Montana as elsewhere, companies that have acquired older mines respond to demands to pay for cleanup in either

If the company is small, its owners may declare the company bankrupt, in some cases conceal its assets, and transfer
their business efforts to other companies or to new companies that do not bear responsibility for cleanup at the old
mine.
If the company is so large that it cannot claim that it would be bankrupted by cleanup costs (as in the case of ARCO
that I shall discuss below), the company instead denies its responsibility or else seeks to minimize the costs.
In either case, either the mine site and areas downstream of it remain toxic, thereby endangering people, or else the
U.S. federal government and the Montana state government (hence ultimately all taxpayers) pay for the cleanup
through the federal Superfund and a corresponding Montana state fund.

Historical records, coins, and other date-bearing objects can help - if they exist. But even prehistoric sites contain

The series of strata in an archaeological dig enables an excavator to date recovered objects relatively, if not

However, when archaeologists want to know the absolute date of a site, they can often go beyond simple stratigraphy.
For example, tree rings, Dendrochronology (literally, —tree timell) dates wooden artefacts by matching their ring

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

Whatever happened to the idea of progress and a better future? I still believe in both.
The Brundtland Report, Our Common Future (1987), defines sustainable development as “development which meets
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.
Implicit in this definition is the idea that the old pattern of development could not be sustained. Is this true?
Development in the past was driven by growth and innovation. It led to new technologies and huge improvements in
living standards.
To assume that we know what the circumstances or needs of future generations will be is mistaken and inevitably
leads to the debilitating sense that we are living on borrowed time.

False memories are constructed by combining actual memories with the content of suggestions received from others.
During the process, individuals may forget the source of information.
This is a classic example of source confusion, in which the content and the source become dissociated.
Of course, because we can implant false childhood memories in some individuals in no way implies that all memories
that arise after suggestion are necessarily false.
Put another way, although experimental work on the creation of false memories may raise doubt about the validity of
long-buried memories, such as repeated trauma, it in no way disproves them.

153. Aviation/航空 #1719 2017-10

During the 1920s and 1930s, great progress was made in the field of aviation, including the first transatlantic flight of
Alcock and Brown in 1919, Charles Lindbergh's solo transatlantic flight in 1927, and Charles Kingsford Smith's
transpacific flight the following year.
One of the most successful designs of this period was the Douglas DC-3, which became the first airliner to be
profitable carrying passengers exclusively, starting the modern era of passenger airline service.
By the beginning of World War II, many towns and cities had built airports, and there were numerous qualified pilots
available.
The war brought many innovations to aviation, including the first jet aircraft and the first liquid-fueled rockets.

154. Hypothesis/假设 #1718 2017-10 本月高频

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

A common mistake is to ignore or rule out data which do not support the hypothesis.
Ideally, the experimenter is open to the possibility that the hypothesis is correct or incorrect.
Sometimes, however, a scientist may have a strong belief that the hypothesis is true (or false), or feels internal or
external pressure to get a specific result.
In that case, there may be a psychological tendency to find "something wrong," such as systematic effects, with data
which do not support the scientist's expectations, while data which do agree with those expectations may not be
checked as carefully.
The lesson is that all data must be handled in the same way.

暂无文本内容,大神们快来完善。

A simple way to disprove this hypothesis (the Innateness Hypothesis) is to demonstrate that other species have the
capacity to speak but for some reason simply have not developed speech.
A logical candidate for such a species is the chimpanzee, which shares 98.4% of the human genetic code.
Chimpanzees cannot speak because, unlike homo sapiens, their vocal cords are located higher in their throats and
cannot be controlled as delicately as human vocal cords.
It does not follow from their lack of speech, however, that chimpanzees are incapable of language.
Perhaps they can acquire grammar like humans if they could only express it some other way.

The jet stream, narrow, swift currents or tubes of air found at heights ranging from 7 to 8 mi (11.312.9 km) above the

They are caused by great temperature differences between adjacent air masses. There are four major jet streams.
Instead of moving along a straight line, the jet stream flows in a wavelike fashion the waves propagate eastward (in
the Northern Hemisphere) at speeds considerably slower than the wind speed itself.
Since the progress of an airplane is aided or impeded depending on whether tailwinds or headwinds are encountered.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the jet stream is sought by eastbound aircraft, in order to gain speed and save fuel, and
avoided by westbound aircraft.

Although there is a huge shift in the quality of ads that we come across on a daily basis -- thanks essentially to
improvement in technology, I somehow can't help but feel that the quality of communication of the message has
become diluted.
There is an increasing attempt by most companies to be seen as cool and funky.
Another reason could be the burgeoning number of companies, which means an exponential increase in the number
of ads that are being made.
Proportionally, the numbers of ads that lack in quality have gone up exponentially as well.

The town had flourished, nearing 400 residents, since its establishment more than a decade earlier in 1566 by Pedro

In the lobby of an internet search engine company's headquarters in California, computer screens display lists of the

Although it says the system is designed to filter out any scandalous or potentially compromising queries, the fact that
even a fraction of searches can be seen by visitors to the world's biggest search company is likely to come as a shock
to internet users who think of web browsing as a private affair.
However, that may be changing.
Over the past year, a series of privacy gaffes and government attempts to gain access to internet users' online

privacy into the spotlight.
This presents a challenge to internet search companies, which have built a multi-billion dollar industry of targeted

A consequence of a settled existence is that it permits one to store food surpluses since storage would be pointless if
one didn't remain nearby to guard the stored food.
So, while some nomadic hunter-gatherers may occasionally bag more food than they can consume in a few days, such
a bonanza is of little use to them because they cannot protect it.
But stored food is essential for feeding non-food producing specialists, and certainly for supporting whole towns of

Hence nomadic hunter-gatherer societies have few or no such full-time specialists, who instead first appear in
sedentary societies.

Julia Bocking's Literacy and Dads (LADS) project aim to increase the number of fathers participating as literacy helpers

Having worked as a literacy tutor with teenagers, Ms. Bocking saw the need for good attitudes towards reading to be

She said. "A male that values reading sets a powerful role model, particularly for young boys, who are statistically

A major review of antidepressants has found they are largely ineffective and may even be harmful for children and

The true effectiveness and risk of serious harms is found in the borders of Amazon such as suicidal thoughts remain

The study authors recommend that 'children and adolescents taking antidepressants should be carefully monitored
closely and permanently, however, prohibits the study of children's antidepressants.
This was widely opposed by multi-billion companies that have already invested antidepressants.
It is therefore recommended a child could self-reproach starting with a low dose and build up gradually within to

Road safety analyses of driver behavior have traditionally concentrated on the role of the male driver.
While this is in keeping with the fact that the majority of drivers involved in fatal crashes are male, the relative
proportion of fatal crashes involving female drivers has been steadily increasing over many decades.
Thus, while virtually all drivers killed 45 years ago were male, the percentage of female driver fatalities had risen to
13% in 1970 and in recent years females have accounted for between 22% and 27% of all driver deaths.
In view of this situation, this report examines differences between male and female drivers in terms of travel

The dateline is necessary to avoid confusion that would otherwise result.
For example, if an airplane were to travel westward with the sun, 24 hr would elapse as it circled the globe, but it

them.
The same problem would arise if two travelers journeyed in opposite directions to a point on the opposite side of the
earth, 180° of longitude distant.
The apparent paradox is resolved by requiring that the traveler is crossing the dateline change his date, thus bringing
the travelers into the agreement when they meet.

Sepahua, a ramshackle town on the edge of Peru's Amazon jungle, nestles in a pocket on the map where a river of the
same name flows into the Urubamba.
That pocket denotes a tiny patch of legally loggable land sandwiched between four natural reserves, all rich in
mahogany and accessible from the town. “Boundaries are on maps,” says a local logger, “maps are only in Lima, the
capital.”
In 2001, the government egged on by WWF, a green group, tried to regulate logging in the relatively small part of the
Peruvian Amazon where this is allowed.
It abolished the previous system of annual contracts.
Instead, it auctioned 40- year concessions to areas ruled off on a map, with the right to log 5% of the area each year.
The aim was to encourage strict management plans and sustainable extraction.

Despite posting healthy profits, VW shares trade at a discount to peers due to a bad reputation among investors, high
capital expenditure and its close links to the state of Lower Saxony, which effectively has a blocking minority.
A disastrous capital hike, an expensive foray into the trucks business and uncertainty about the reason for a share
buyback have in recent years left investors bewildered.
"The main problem with VW is the past. Many investors have been very disappointed and frightened away," said one
Paris-based fund manager.
VW shares trade at about nine times 2002 estimated earnings, compared to BMW’s19 and are the second cheapest in
the sector.

My study of the history of religion has revealed that human beings are spiritual animals. Indeed, there is a case for
arguing that Homo sapiens is also Homo religious.
Men and women started to worship gods as soon as they became recognizably human they created religions at the
same time as they created works of art.
This was not simply because they wanted to propitiate powerful forces.
These early faiths expressed the wonder and mystery that seems always to have been an essential component of the
human experience of this beautiful yet terrifying world.
