看过机经的同学可能会注意，到今年的9月29日就又考过Pueblo相关的内容。本篇文章题目设置都比较直接，好定位，文章逻辑结构也较清晰，分两大方面，不同小点解释人们集群而居的原因。但究其细节及背景知识，我们还是应该花些时间对本文进行细致分析的。
1. In the Mesa Verde area of the ancient North American Southwest, living patterns changed in the thirteenth century, with large numbers of people moving into large communal dwellings called pueblos, often constructed at the edges of canyons, especially on the sides of cliffs.(分清各种修饰成分在本句的修饰主体及起到的功能。)
2. Few of the cultural traditions and rules thattoday allow us to deal with dense populations existed for these people accustomed to household autonomy and the ability to movearound the landscape almost at will. (推理题出处：反向推理，说之后，问之前。)
3. Population growth is considered a particularlyinfluential push. After several generations of population growth, people packed the landscape in densities so high that communal pueblos may have been anecessary outcome. (因果关系：事实信息题出处。)
4. Some scholars expand on this idea by emphasizing a corresponding need for arable land to feed growing numbers ofpeople: construction of small dams, reservoirs, terraces, and field houses indicatesthat farmers were intensifying their efforts during the 1200s.(句子简化题出处，不能丢掉标红部分。)
5. As the Little Ice Age progressed, farmers probably moved their fields to lower elevations, infringing on the lands of other farmers and pushing people together, thus contributing to the aggregations.
6. Archaeologists find that even the most isolated residences during the eleventh and twelfth centuries obtained some pottery, and probably food, from some distance away, while major ceremonial events were opportunities for sharing food and crafts.(事实信息题出处：目的。)
7. Scholars believe that this cooperation allowed people to contend with a patchy environment in which precipitation and other resources varied across the landscape: if you produce a lot of food one year, you might trade it for pottery made by a distant ally who is having difficulty with crops—and the next year, the flow of goods might go in the opposite direction. But all of this appears to have changed thirteenth century.Although the climate remained as unpredictable as ever between one year and the next, it became much less locally diverse.(前后变化：事实信息题考点。)
托福30天备考计划第28天之听力 摘要：托福30天备考计划第28天之听力：每一天制定不同的托福备考方案，30天后，让我们拿下托福100+！TPO28第一篇lecture(哲学)，快快开始练习起来吧！
今天我们通过TPO28第一篇lecture(哲学)来回顾一下举例子的出题点。哲学场景不是很常见的一类场景，但是题目相对比较简单，是我们得分的“主战场”。
这篇文章围绕一个哲学名词“foundationalism”(基础论)展开，论述了两位哲学家的不同观点。其中第二题是一道非常典型的举例目的题，我们先来看一下题目：
Why does the professor mention a house？
1. To explain an idea about the organization of human knowledge 2. To illustrate the unreliability of ourperception of physical objects
3. To clarify the difference between two pointsof view about the basis of human knowledge
4. To remind students of a point he made about Descartes in a previous lecture 举例目的题的题干通常都是“Why does the professor mention/ talk about/discuss......” 后面的内容即为例子的主语。举例子这个出题点在托福听力中出现的非常频繁，通常是教授先介绍一个抽象的观点或理论，为了便于学生理解，后面紧跟一个具体的事例，有时在例子后面还会再总结一下这个观点。常见的提示词为“for example， for instance， like， say ”等，需要在笔记中注明，可简写为“eg”，托福考试对例子的考察主要为举例子的目的或作用，例子本身的细节基本不考察，故例子本身不需记得过于详细。这里讲的是house的例子，原文如下：
Foundationalism is the view that our knowledge claims， what we think we know， that is， they need to have a base. And think of knowledge as a house， you need a solid foundation on which you build a house. And if you have a strong foundation， your house is more likely to be solid. Well，foundationalists think the same thing is true of knowledge. If you have a solid base for your knowledge claims， then your knowledge structure is more likely to be strong， valid， true.
这里house虽然没提示词for example出现，确实是一个具体的事物，属于例子的范畴。例子前面讲的是foundationalism需要一个基础，例子后面讲的是有了这个基础，knowledge structure 就会更坚固。故而选择能够体现这个抽象理论的A选项，organization of human knowledge同意替换knowledge structure。

艺术家，音乐家，等等各种家，到底是天分重要还是努力重要，你同意哪个观点？ 如果觉得后天努力更重要，我举例周杰伦Jay Chou(最好用英文后置介绍一下，他是一个台湾歌手) 的一个例子，他非常善于作曲，用数字法具体到每年可以创作好几百首歌，直到最后他成名可以唱自己的歌。虽然一个例子，只要充实，详尽，具体，也是可以的。
I think it’s more important for artists and musicians to work hard rather than just relying on their talent to be successful. First of all， there is a famous singer named Jay Chou， who was born and raised in Taiwan. He has been a very hard working person even before he became famous. I wrote a story of him that he wrote hundreds of songs every year to differ from other already-successful singers in Taiwan， before he actually became a singer. Because of his hardworking， his talent was finally revealed to the public that he became a singer that can sing his own songs.
