Across Europe, archeologists have discovered examples of a curious prehistoric artifact known as a perforated baton (stick) Made by prehistoric people out of deer antler, these batons have at least one drilled perforation (hole). They are typically 15-20 centimeters (6-8 inches) long and their surface is usually carved. The original function of these perforated batons is unclear. Several theories about what they were used for have been proposed. Arrow Straighteners One theory is that perforated batons were used to manufacture arrows-weapons used for hunting since prehistoric times. In order to fly straight and hit its target, an arrow needs to be straight. According to this theory, an arrow was passed back and forth through the baton's hole until any bends were removed and the arrow was straight. Evidence of wear inside the holes of many perforated batons seems to support that they were used to straighten arrows. Spear Throwers Another theory is that perforated batons were used to throw spears-long hunting weapons-farther and more forcefully than could be done by the human hand alone. A researcher who proposed this theory likened the perforated baton to some established, well-documented tools that are still used today as spear throwers. In fact, the researcher created an experimental model of a perforated baton and conducted a successful experiment with it, proving that the model was an effective spear thrower. Ceremonial Objects A third theory is that perforated batons were not practical tools but instead purely ceremonial or symbolic objects. In many cultures, people in power possess objects that indicate their authority within the social group. For example, kings of many civilizations, going as far back as ancient Egypt or Mesopotamia, have held scepters-long, narrow objects symbolizing their political authority. Scepters and other ceremonial objects are often elaborately decorated. Since perforated batons are also often decorated with carvings and other complex designs, their function may have been solely ceremonial, like that of a scepter.

The lecture challeges the several theories about what perforated batons were used for in the reading. Firstly, the theory makes clear that using perforated batons to make manufacture arrows-weapons is a way to hunt since prehistoric times. However, the lecture argues that they are too large to become arrows. Removing the bends of them will cause too much pressure, which have the ability to broke them into picieces. Secondly, the theory illustrates that they are used to be made into throw spears, which are the long hunting weapons ,even farther and more forcefully than human hand alone. Nevertheless, the lecture suggests that batons need to add hock on them. Lastly, the theory claims that batons were not practical tools but instead purely ceremonial or symbolic objects. In contrast, the lecture casts doubt on that statement that batons are carving, not for drcorations. They have got rufe surface.

The author of the article argues that trees can be planted in temperate area and shelter forests can form by planting the trees which have benefits for environment and humans. While the lecturer disputes the claims mentioned in the article. His position is that planting trees in temperate area is not a good idea and has many drawbacks. Firstly, the reading passage states that shelter forests benefit the farmers by protecting farmland from desertification. The windstorm can blow the fertile top soil away then the soil become less suitable for agriculture. The trees can block the windstorms and prevent the root from erosion. The lecturer challenges the argument by stating that the benefits of shelter forests is not clear. Planting the trees in temperate area needs significant ground water and this method will cause great pressure on water in that area. Secondly, the author suggests that the shelter forests can provide habitat for animals which can not live on open plains or grasslands. The lecturer, however, asserts that the there just one type of trees live in shelter forests. In other forests, some trees live faster than others. But in shelter forests, there were small types of trees. Consequently, the small diversity of trees just provide limited habitat for animals. Lastly, the author puts forth the idea that planting more trees in shelter forests in temperate area can reduce the carbon dioxide in atmosphere and relieve the global warming. In contrast, the lecturer argues that actually the trees contribute to global warming because trees catch more heat than grass land due to forests absorb more heat from sun than grass land.

Section Title: 6.文章修订
The article posits that planting trees in temperate areas to create shelter forests can provide environmental and human benefits. However, the lecturer disputes these claims, arguing that such an approach has more drawbacks than advantages.
Firstly, the reading passage asserts that shelter forests protect farmland from desertification by blocking windstorms and preventing soil erosion. In contrast, the lecturer contends that the benefits of shelter forests are unclear. He explains that planting trees in temperate areas requires significant groundwater, which could put immense pressure on water resources in those regions.
Secondly, the author suggests that shelter forests can offer habitats for animals unable to survive on open plains or grasslands. The lecturer, however, points out that only one type of tree typically grows in shelter forests. Unlike natural forests with diverse tree species growing at different rates, shelter forests have limited tree diversity. As a result, they can only provide a restricted range of habitats for animals.
Lastly, the author proposes that planting more trees in temperate zones could reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and alleviate global warming. Conversely, the lecturer maintains that trees may actually contribute to global warming since they absorb more heat from the sun than grasslands do. (203 words)

The author of the article argues that several theories about ammonite extinction have proposed. While the lecturer disputes the claims mentioned in the article. Her position is that none of the theories can provide detail about how it happened. Firstly, the reading passage states that acid rain follow the meteorite impact which damage the newly hatched ammonite young floated on the ocean's surface. Their tissue will be broken down by the extremely acidic rain. The lecturer challenges the claims by stating that the acid rain did not follow the impact since if the rain was acidic, it is also harmful for frogs which live in the water. The frogs are vulnerable to the acid rain which can kill them off. Secondly, the author suggests that the ammonites had jaws designed specifically for catch and eating zooplankton. The meteorite impact caused a dramatic cooling that killed the zooplankton which is the food source of the ammonites. When the ammonites lost their main food resources, they will become extinct. The lecturer, however, asserts that not all ammonites dependent on zooplankton. One group of ammonites can not represent for all ammonites and scientist can not find fossil evidence. Based on just one group ammonites is not convincing. Lastly, the author puts forth the idea that meteorite impact decreased the photosynthetic activity of small marine plants. With the decrease of the small marine plants, less oxygen be produced by them. This low oxygen seawater is not suitable for ammonites. In contrast, the lecturer argues that the ammonites can tolerate the low oxygen environment because they have efficient breath organ. So they can survive in low oxygen conditions.

Section Title: 6.文章修订
The author of the article presents several theories regarding the extinction of ammonites, while the lecturer disputes these claims, arguing that none of the theories convincingly explain how the extinction occurred.
Firstly, the reading passage suggests that acid rain following the meteorite impact damaged newly hatched ammonite young floating on the ocean's surface, as their tissue would be broken down by the extremely acidic rain. The lecturer challenges this claim by stating that if the rain had been acidic enough to harm ammonites, it would have also been harmful to frogs and other water-dwelling organisms that are vulnerable to acidic waters. Since these organisms did not go extinct 65 million years ago, it is unlikely that acid rain was responsible for killing off ammonites.
Secondly, the author posits that ammonites had jaws specifically designed for catching and eating zooplankton. The meteorite impact caused a dramatic cooling event that killed off much of the zooplankton population, which was a primary food source for ammonites. Consequently, they became extinct due to lack of sustenance. However, the lecturer asserts that not all ammonites were dependent on zooplankton as a food source. The fossil evidence mentioned in the reading passage pertains to only one group of ammonites; there is no evidence to suggest that other groups had similar feeding habits. Thus, it is unconvincing to conclude that a zooplankton die-off led to the extinction of all ammonites.
Lastly, according to the author, decreased photosynthetic activity in small marine plants due to meteorite impact led to oxygen-deprived seawater conditions unsuitable for ammonite survival. In contrast, the lecturer argues that ammonites were likely able to tolerate low-oxygen environments because they possessed efficient breathing organs. This adaptation would have allowed them to survive in such conditions and casts doubt on this theory as a plausible explanation for their extinction. (305 words)

Firstly, the reading passage states suggests that acid rain follow following the meteorite impact which damage the damaged newly hatched ammonite young floated floating on the ocean's surface. Their surface, as their tissue will would be broken down by the extremely acidic rain. The lecturer challenges the claims this claim by stating that the if the rain had been acidic enough to harm ammonites, it would have also been harmful to frogs and other water-dwelling organisms that are vulnerable to acidic waters (rephrased for clarity). Since these organisms did not go extinct 65 million years ago, it is unlikely that acid rain did not follow the impact since if the rain was acidic, it is also harmful for frogs which live in the water. The frogs are vulnerable to the acid rain which can kill them off. responsible for killing off ammonites (added context).
Secondly, the author suggests that the posits that ammonites had jaws specifically designed specifically for catch for catching and eating zooplankton. The meteorite impact caused a dramatic cooling event that killed off much of the zooplankton population, which is the was a primary food source of the for ammonites. When the ammonites lost their main food resources, Consequently, they will become extinct. The lecturer, however, became extinct due to lack of sustenance (rephrased for clarity). However, the lecturer asserts that not all ammonites were dependent on zooplankton. One group of ammonites can not represent for all ammonites and scientist can not find zooplankton as a food source. The fossil evidence. Based on just evidence mentioned in the reading passage pertains to only one group ammonites of ammonites; there is not convincing. no evidence to suggest that other groups had similar feeding habits (clarified argument). Thus, it is unconvincing to conclude that a zooplankton die-off led to the extinction of all ammonites (summarized point).
Lastly, the author puts forth the idea that according to the author, decreased photosynthetic activity in small marine plants due to meteorite impact decreased the photosynthetic activity of small marine plants. With the decrease of the small marine plants, less oxygen be produced by them. This low oxygen led to oxygen-deprived seawater is not suitable for ammonites. conditions unsuitable for ammonite survival. In contrast, the lecturer argues that the ammonites can ammonites were likely able to tolerate the low oxygen environment low-oxygen environments because they possessed efficient breathing organs (rephrased for clarity). This adaptation would have efficient breath organ. So they can allowed them to survive in low oxygen conditions.such conditions and casts doubt on this theory as a plausible explanation for their extinction (summarized point).

However, the professor in the lecture contradicts to the methods and use three specific points to support her idea. First of all, even though the reading passage states that radar devices can be installed in order to detect approaching birds, the professor argues in the lecture that the devices need around 45 minutes from detecting the birds to reacting with it by shuting down tthe wind turbines by the wind farm operators. In this period, the bird have already passed the wind farm.In addition, idividual bird is hard to detect then group of birds. Hence, the method is ineffective. Moreover, despite the statement in the reading that purple color can be utilized because it's less attractive to insects and thus the bird predators will not be drew in while the conventional white and gray color can attract insects. However, the professor in the lecture contends that the sight in insects are much more complex than we thought and have various conditions such as heat and light. Even if the color is changed, the heat from the wind turbines will also attract insects. Last but not least, the professor asserts that it's infeasible to use alarm system to warn birds as the passage states. The noises around the wind farm will interfere with the alarm, so the alarm should be loud and unique, which is noisy to people walking by.

The reading passage discusses the issue of wind turbines posing a threat to birds flying through wind farms and proposes three methods to address the problem. However, the professor in the lecture refutes these methods, providing three specific counterarguments.
Firstly, the reading passage suggests that radar devices can be installed to detect approaching birds, allowing wind farm operators to shut down turbines temporarily. Contrarily, the professor argues that this method is ineffective because it takes approximately 45 minutes for the turbines to shut down after detecting birds. During this time, birds would have already passed through the wind farm. Additionally, individual birds are more challenging to detect than groups of birds.
Secondly, the reading passage claims that painting wind turbines purple could deter insects and subsequently reduce bird presence since conventional white and gray colors attract insects. However, the professor contends that factors such as heat and ultraviolet light play a more significant role in attracting insects than color. She explains that even if turbines were painted purple, their generated heat would still attract insects.
Lastly, while the reading passage advocates for using sound alarm systems to warn birds of nearby wind turbines, the professor asserts that this approach is unfeasible due to environmental noise interference. The alarm would need to be loud and unique enough to distinguish itself from surrounding noises; however, this would create excessive noise pollution for nearby wildlife and people working in the area.

Przykład Użytkownika
The author of the article argues that a Portrait was sold at auction belongs to Da Vinci. While, the lecturer disputes the claims mentioned in the article. His position is that the portrait was painted by other people much later. Firstly, the reading passage states that historians analyzed the substance used to draw the portrait, and the substance reveals that it was pastel. Pastels were a new invention during Renaissance and Da Vinci was the first artist to use the pastels. Besides, the dress and hairstyle belong to that period. However, the lecturer challenges the argument by stating that if the portrait was painted by pastels, the color will had some tiny cracks. The older portrait will crack and reduce the smoothness. But this portrait is still smooth, so the portrait was painted much more recently. Secondly, the author suggests that a material called Vellum is favored by Da Vinci and scientists found that Vellum was made between 1440 and 1650 which means it was old enough to have been used by Da Vinci. The lecturer, however, asserts that the age of the material can not tell us when the portrait was painted because some artists used old Vellum to create new artworks. The portrait may be painted in 18th. Besides, Da Vinci dislikes the Vellum, as none of his artworks was painted on the Vellum. Lastly, the author puts forth the idea that artist pressed a finger onto the chalk in the drawing. The fingerprint was compared with a fingerprint on another work that was unquestionably created by Da Vinci. In contrast, the lecturer argues that the fingerprint is not clear. The surface of the portrait is a suitable textile for pressing a fingerprint. Without clear fingerprint the historians can not say certainty.

The article posits that a portrait sold at auction, titled "Portrait of a Young Fiancée," was created by Leonardo da Vinci, based on several pieces of evidence. However, the lecturer disputes these claims and contends that the portrait was likely painted by someone else much later.
Firstly, the reading passage states that historians analyzed the substances used in the portrait and found them to be pastels, which were a new invention during the Renaissance period. Da Vinci was known to be the first artist to use pastels, and the dress and hairstyle depicted in the portrait belong to that era. The lecturer challenges this argument by stating that if pastels were indeed used, there would be tiny cracks on the color surfaces due to aging. The older a pastel artwork gets, the more its surface cracks and loses smoothness. However, this particular portrait remains smooth, suggesting it was created more recently than during Da Vinci's time.
Secondly, the author suggests that Da Vinci favored a material called vellum for his artworks. Scientific testing indicates that the vellum used for this portrait dates back to between 1440 and 1650 – old enough to have been used by Da Vinci himself. The lecturer counters this claim by asserting that an artwork's age cannot be determined solely based on its material; artists have been known to use old vellum for creating new pieces. Furthermore, historical evidence suggests that Da Vinci actually disliked using vellum; none of his surviving drawings are on this material.
Lastly, the author presents evidence of a fingerprint pressed onto chalk in the drawing which matches another fingerprint found on an undisputed work by Da Vinci. The lecturer refutes this point by arguing that the fingerprint is not clear enough for comparison due to chalk being an unsuitable surface for capturing fingerprints accurately. As such, experts cannot definitively conclude whether or not both fingerprints belong to the same person, casting doubt on the portrait's attribution to Da Vinci. (331 words)

Przykład Użytkownika
The lecture challenges the proposal in the reading passage regarding the measures that we can take to eliminate the serious threats to birds brought about by the lethal fast-moving turbine blades. To start with, the lecture indicates that it is implausible to shut the turbines before the birds hitting them. These is because, while radar can detect the images of birds beforehand, it takes at 45 minutes to run down the turbines completely, thereby it is inevitable to hit them for the birds. Additionally, the radar can only detect a flock of birds, yet an individual one can not be detected, which constitutes another deficiency for this method. Then, the lecture disputes that the reason that why the wind turbines attracts insects are complex. Many factors should be taken into account. For example, the heat and ultralight, both of them may be the sources that attract insects. Therefore, it is obviously not going to work to paint wind turbines purple simply. In the end, the lectures refutes the way to use a sound alarm system to warn birds of wind turbines in front of them. It suggests that there has already been various noises, such as the vehicle sounds. So under this interference, it's obligated to keep the sound from the alarm system strong. As a result, it will be to loud for animals and residents around it. Through the three counterarguments provided, the lecture undermines the merits of various strategies proposed in t he reading.

The lecture challenges the proposal in the reading passage regarding the measures that we can take to eliminate the serious threats to birds brought about by the lethal fast-moving turbine blades. To start with, the lecture indicates that it is implausible to shut the turbines before the birds hitting them. These isare(Detects potentially wrong usage of "is") because, while radar can detect the images of birds beforehand, it takes at 45 minutes to run down the turbines completely, thereby it is inevitable to hit them for the birds. Additionally, the radar can only detect a flock of birds, yet an individual one can not be detected, which constitutes another deficiency for this method. Then, the lecture disputes that the reason that why the wind turbines attractsattract(Subject-verb agreement plural) insects are complex. Many factors should be taken into account. For example, the heat and ultralight, both of themthem,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) may be the sources that attract insects. Therefore, it is obviously not going to work to paint wind turbines purple simply. In the end, the lectures refutesrefute(punctuation + plural noun + singular verb) the way to use a sound alarm system to warn birds of wind turbines in front of them. It suggests that there has already been various noises, such as the vehicle sounds. So under this interference, it's obligated to keep the sound from the alarm system strong. As a result, it will be totoo(Detects potentially wrong usage of "to") loud for animals and residents around it. Through the three counterarguments provided, the lecture undermines the merits of various strategies proposed in t hethe(t he (the)) reading.

The lecture challenges the proposals in the reading passage regarding measures to mitigate the serious threats posed by fast-moving turbine blades to birds. Firstly, the lecture indicates that it is implausible to shut down turbines before birds collide with them. This is because, while radar can detect groups of birds beforehand, it takes up to 45 minutes to completely shut down the turbines, making it inevitable for birds to be hit. Additionally, the radar can only detect flocks of birds and not individual ones, which constitutes another deficiency for this method.
Secondly, the lecture disputes that the reasons why wind turbines attract insects are complex and not solely due to paint color. Many factors should be taken into account, such as heat and ultraviolet light, both of which may attract insects. Therefore, simply painting wind turbines purple is unlikely to be effective.
Lastly, the lecture refutes the idea of using a sound alarm system to warn birds of wind turbines in front of them. It suggests that there are already various noises present in the environment, such as vehicle sounds. Under this interference, it becomes necessary for the alarm system's sound to be strong and unique. As a result, it will be too loud for animals and residents in the vicinity. Through these three counterarguments provided, the lecture undermines the merits of various strategies proposed in the reading passage. (232 words)
