内容回忆
教授说翼龙(Pterosauria)是种爬行动物(reptile)，尽管与恐龙(dinosaur)生活在同一时期，但它不是恐龙。它的翅膀(wings)与鸟类(bird)和蝙蝠(bat)都不一样，但又有部分相似处。翼龙(Pterosauria)的前臂和后肢拥有强有力的肌肉(muscle)，而且是膜翼翅膀(membrane)。但翼龙(Pterosauria)飞行时更像鸟类。翼龙(Pterosauria)的翅膀其实是由一根长长的手指支撑的(one finger)，像是支撑船帆的桅杆。但这个膜翼翅膀是连接在髋部还是脚踝(connected to hip or ankle)仍存在争议。目前证据表明是连接连接在脚踝上的，但证据并非十分明显，因为不知道骨骼(bone)的具体位置。

以前的艺术形式，现在知道的只是其中一部分，但是人们把它们当成代表性的艺术。比如岩

托福2016年下半年独立写作机经
【2017-1-7】托福考试独立写作大范围机经预测【2016 独立写作出题规律】沪江托福教研团队将2016 年迄今为止所有考题，与往年真题进行查重比对，现总结出如下出题规律：2016 年起，独立写作的新题数量明显增加。
截止到今天为止的48 场考试中，有18 题为新题，30 题为旧题，新旧比例大致为1:2。
而15 年同期，只出现12 道新题。
三选一类题目增多，共考查6 次。
题目的难度也有所上升，题干长度明显增加。
一些题与往年旧题相类似，但问法不同，不再完全照搬旧题，而是通过改写、拓写，编成“新题”。
虽然实质上换汤不换药，但更长的题干、更具体的问法，会扰乱一些考生的思路，使考生更难抓住重点。
υ从题材来看，考查最多的依然是教育类（17 题），价值观类题目增多（8 题），价值观类题目主要针对有争议的话题，询问看法，如：成功的要素、最重要的品质、某事值不值得做，等等。
此外，工作类、环境类、活动类、家人朋友类、社会类、政府职能类题目，各占3-5 题。
独立写作题材越来越广泛，越来越贴近生活，出现很多社会热点话题。
这就要求同学们能够敏锐捕捉社会动向，并且有自己独到的见解，对于同学们的思考能力和写作水平都提出了更高的要求。
υ从出题规律来看，2016 年迄今为止，与往年重复的30 道旧题中，2011 年-2015 年的题目均有出现。
其中15 年重复10 次，14 年12 次，13 年4 次，12 和11 年均有2 次。
因此同学们可以着重复习15 年和14 年的题目。
