托福最爱考的地理知识，通过这篇真题告诉你

　　很多机构都说托福的TPO就是真题，这话虽然没错，但TPO是ETS官方在2011年从题库中扔掉的题，并表示这些题我有生之年再也不会考你们啦!这么多年来，ETS在不断进化自己的题型和题目内容，TPO的难度和题型已经是过时的老古董啦!

而托福真题，就是那些现在还躺在题库中的题。每次考试ETS就从这些题库里抽文章，因此考到原题的概率非常之大!当然如果只是想训练，真题的难度也是更接近真实考场~

　　2. In paragraph 1, the author introduces the concept of a budget in order to

　　Illustrate how Earth’s energy cycle must maintain an overall balance

　　解题句：We can think of Earth’s energy cycle as a “budget”: energy may be added to or subtracted from the budget and may be transferred from one storage place to another, but overall the additions and subtractions and transfers must balance each other.

　　3. Why does the author include information about the “energy that humans use per year” in the discussion?

　　To provide a comparison that established how huge the amount of energy flowing into Earth’s energy budget is

　　4. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways of leave out essential information.

　　Almost the entire amount of energy that flows into Earth’s energy budget is short-wavelength radiation from the Sun.

　　5. According to paragraph 3, solar radiation powers all of the following EXCEPT

　　Formation of rocks

　　解题句：Some of this vast influx powers the winds, rainfall, ocean currents, waves, and other processes in the hydrologic (or water) cycle.

　　6. According to paragraph 4, all of the following statements about geothermal energy are true EXCEPT

　　It is the main source of heat for the surface of the Earth.

　　解题句：The second most powerful source of energy, at 23 terawatts or 0.013 percent of the total, is geothermal energy, Earth’s internal heat energy.

　　7. The word “stationary” in the passage is closet in meaning to

　　unmoving

　　8. Paragraph 5 mentions which of the following as an effect of the Moon’s gravitation on Earth?

　　It causes high tides that reshape the coastlines of continents and islands.

　　解题句：The Moon’s gravitational pull lifts a tidal bulge in the ocean; as Earth spins on its axis, this bulge remains essentially stationary.

　　9. The word “hence” in the passage is closet in meaning to

　　therefore

　　10. What can be inferred from paragraph 6 about what would likely occur if cloud cover increased worldwide?

　　A large percentage of incoming solar radiation would be reflected back into space.

　　解题句：About 40 percent of incoming solar radiation is simply reflected, unchanged, back into space by the clouds, the sea, and other surfaces.

　　11. The word “irreversible” in the passage is closet in meaning to

　　permanent

　　12. According to paragraph 7, weather patterns are produced as part of the cycle in which

　　Energy that has been absorbed near Earth’s surface undergoes transfer and conversion of form

　　解题句：Weather patterns are a manifestation of energy transfer and degradation.

　　13. Look at the four choices that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.

　　Each different material has a characteristic reflectivity. How reflective a material is depends on how light or dark it is, among other things.

　　14. Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below. Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the passage. Some answer choices do not belong in the summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage. This question is worth 2 points.

　　Incoming short-wavelength solar radiation provides Earth with nearly all its energy and powers the hydrologic cycle as well as biological processes.

　　Heat energy from Earth’s interior, which powers the rock cycle, and the kinetic energy of Earth’s rotation provide small additions to solar energy.

　　Some of the incoming solar radiation is reflected, and the rest, after being absorbed, undergoes a series of conversions until it is reradiated into space as heat.
