閱讀段落

In 1876, archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann claimed to have found an impressive gold mask in a 3,500-year-old Greek tomb. The mask was believed to belong to a great warrior king of ancient Greece. Some archaeologists, however, have suggested that the warrior king's mask may be a fake. To create publicity, Schliemann may have hired a goldsmith to make the mask and then pretended to discover it in an ancient tomb at a site where he was excavating, or digging. Several factors suggest that the mask is a fake. First, Schliemann had a history of fake discoveries. For example, Schliemann once bought an ancient statue from someone, took it to a site that was being excavated, and then claimed to have discovered the status there. We should be skeptical about the warrior king's mask, given Schliemann's dishonest behavior on other occasions. Second, there are notable differences between Schliemann's mask and genuine ancient Greek masks that have been found in other tombs. Schliemann's warrior king mask has a mouth with well-defined lips. Other Greek masks have mouths that are more or less flat. Also, the warrior king's mask has a pointed beard that doesn't resemble the facial hair represented on any of the other gold masks. Third, Schliemann closed the site where he was excavating soon after the mask was found. That seems quite suspicious. Most archaeologists would have continued to work at the site after finding such an object in the hope of gaining knowledge about it. Many questions about the mask - whom it represented, what its function was - could have possibly been answered by further examination of the site. Schliemann's abrupt closing of the site indicates that he did not need to find out more about the mask because he knew it was a fake.

The reading passage introduces the topic of several factors that suggest that the mask is a fake and states his explanations of that. The lecturer, however, counters this by saying that this mask is not a fake and all of the explanations in the reading are not convincing and attacks each of the claims made in the passage. Firstly, the passage makes clear that Schliemann had a history of fake discoveries. The lecturer, on the other hand, believes that there are flaws in the author's position. He contends that because of his reputation, he was watched by others closely. Greek governments suspected him and hired detectives to follow him to make sure that he didn't do anything incorrect. In this case, if he still made fake discoveries as the reading said, he would been caught. But he wasn't caught in fact. Secondly, according to the passage, there are notable differences between Schliemann's mask and genuine ancient Greek masks that have been found in other tombs. The lecturer, however, rebuts this claim and argues that archaeologists also found some similar masks at the same site. They all feature lion shape which also has a similar beard and limp as The Schliemann's king mask. He goes on to say that both of the objects appear in Schliemann's king mask, which illustrates that his mask is not a fake. Thirdly, the passage claims that Schliemann closed the site where he was excavating soon after the mask was found. The lecturer points out that the idea made in that reading that this behavior is strange only represents today's archaeologists' view, which was normal in that period. As a treasure hunter, Schliemann's duty is to find valuable treasures in the tomb rather than understand the knowledge or culture of them. In this case, he argues that it is reasonable for Schliemann to find all valuable things and then close invaluable things in it and leave.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage presents several factors suggesting that the gold mask discovered by Heinrich Schliemann may be a fake. However, the lecturer disputes these claims and provides counterarguments to support the authenticity of the mask.

Firstly, the reading passage highlights Schliemann's history of fake discoveries as a reason to doubt the mask's authenticity. In contrast, the lecturer explains that due to his reputation, Schliemann was closely monitored by others, particularly the Greek government. They appointed a supervisor to oversee his work and ensure he did not engage in dishonest activities. Consequently, it would have been unlikely for Schliemann to plant a fake mask in the tomb without being caught.

Secondly, the passage points out notable differences between Schliemann's mask and other genuine ancient Greek masks found in tombs. The lecturer counters this argument by stating that another artifact with similar features was discovered at the same site as Schliemann's mask. This artifact, an authentic gold ceremonial object shaped like a lion's head, has well-defined lips and a beard resembling those on Schliemann's warrior king mask. The similarities suggest that both objects were crafted by the same ancient goldsmith, indicating that Schliemann's mask is genuine.

Lastly, the reading passage claims that Schliemann closed the excavation site soon after finding the mask, which appears suspicious. The lecturer refutes this assertion by explaining that such behavior was typical for archaeologists during Schliemann's time since they were primarily treasure hunters focused on finding valuable objects rather than understanding their cultural significance. As an experienced treasure hunter, Schliemann likely concluded there was nothing of value left at the site after discovering the gold mask and decided to cease exploration accordingly. (278 words)

The lecture mainly discusses the downsides of high taxes on unhealthy products, challenging what are stated in the reading passage that it has social benefits. First of all, the professor argues that high taxes on unhealthy products does not necessarily reduce unhealthy behaviors. For example, when imposing high taxes on cigarettes, people purchase cheaper but lower quality cigarettes, which contains even more harmful substances and present even greater health risks. The same is to food as people will purchase unhealthy products but spend less on their health, which is bad for their health condition. Secondly, according to the lecture, taxes of this kind are financially unfair. The burden of taxes is smaller to people with higher income. Finally, there is a downside to use this kind of taxes for government spending. Government may get too dependent on it.

6.文章修订

The reading passage posits that imposing high taxes on unhealthy products, such as cigarettes and junk food, yields numerous social benefits. However, the lecture disputes these claims by presenting counterarguments that challenge the effectiveness and fairness of such taxes.

Contrary to the reading's assertion that high taxes on unhealthy products lead to healthier behavior, the lecture contends that these taxes may not necessarily result in improved health. For instance, when faced with increased cigarette prices due to taxation, some smokers opt for cheaper, lower-quality cigarettes containing even more harmful substances and posing greater health risks. Similarly, when taxes are imposed on unhealthy foods, people might continue purchasing these products despite their higher cost, leaving less money available for healthier food options. This could potentially exacerbate their overall health condition.

The lecture also challenges the notion of financial fairness presented in the reading passage. While it may seem equitable for individuals engaging in unhealthy behaviors to bear the consequences through taxation, this argument overlooks income disparities among consumers. When high earners and low earners both pay the same amount in taxes for unhealthy products, the burden is relatively heavier for those with lower incomes. Consequently, many people argue that such taxes disproportionately affect lower-income individuals and are therefore unfair.

Lastly, although the reading passage highlights how governments can use tax revenue from unhealthy products for various public welfare projects, it fails to address a significant downside: governmental dependence on this income source. As this revenue represents substantial amounts of money, governments may become reluctant to implement policies or laws aimed at eliminating unhealthy habits altogether due to fear of losing this income stream. For example, they might be hesitant to adopt radical measures like banning smoking in outdoor public areas or prohibiting certain types of unhealthy foods because such actions could jeopardize their tax revenue.

By presenting these counterarguments, the lecture effectively casts doubt on the reading passage's claims regarding the social benefits of imposing high taxes on unhealthy products. (330 words)

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage presents three hypotheses suggesting that the gold mask discovered by Schliemann is a fake, while the lecture challenges these arguments, asserting that none of them are convincing.

Firstly, the reading passage mentions Schliemann's history of deceit, such as purchasing a statue and falsely claiming its discovery at an excavation site. This implies that the mask might also be fake. However, the lecture contends that this argument is unconvincing since Schliemann's dishonest reputation led to close scrutiny by others. The Greek government took accusations against him seriously and appointed a supervisor to oversee his work, making it highly unlikely for Schliemann to plant a fake mask in the tomb without being caught.

Secondly, the reading claims that Schliemann's mask may not be genuine due to its significant differences from authentic ancient Greek masks. In contrast, the lecture refutes this hypothesis by noting that another artifact with features similar to Schliemann’s mask was found at the same site. This artifact, a gold ceremonial object in the shape of a lion's head, has well-defined lips and a beard resembling those on the king's mask. These similarities suggest that both objects were crafted by the same ancient goldsmith and indicate that the mask is genuine.

Lastly, the reading passage posits that Schliemann's abrupt closure of his excavation site after finding the mask implies he knew it was fake and wanted to hide this fact. Nevertheless, the professor refutes this notion by explaining that such behavior was normal during Schliemann’s time. As a treasure hunter primarily interested in finding valuable objects rather than understanding their cultural significance, Schliemann likely stopped excavating because he believed there was nothing valuable left to find. This idea contradicts what was proposed in the reading passage. (292 words)

Section Title: 7.文章批改

The reading highlights passage presents three hypothesises to suggest the gold mask found hypotheses suggesting that the gold mask discovered by Schliemann is a fake one ,on the contrary, the speaker challenge fake, while the lecture challenges these arguments and she thinks arguments, asserting that none of them is convincing. are convincing (Changed "hypothesises" to "hypotheses" and rephrased the sentence for clarity).

Firstly, the reading passage mentions that had deceived people in the past by Schliemann's history of deceit, such as purchasing a statue and falsely claiming that it was discovered its discovery at an excavation site that suggest the mask site. This implies that the mask might also be fake (Clarified the point made in the reading passage). However, the lecture contends that this argument is fake, however, the lecture argues that the argument made in the reading is not convincing, because of unconvincing since Schliemann's dishonest reputation of dishonesty has made led to close scrutiny by others (Improved sentence structure). The Greek government took accusations against him be closely watched by others. the seriously accusation from government ,making and appointed a supervisor to oversee his work, making it impossible highly unlikely for Schliemann to place plant a fake mask in the tomb without being caught. caught (Expanded on how Schliemann was closely watched).

Secondly, the reading claim claims that Schliemann's mask may not be genuine due to its significant differences from authentic ancient Greek masks . while masks. In contrast, the lecture refute this hypothesis, she notes that although Schliemann’s mask has some different from other Greek masks, refutes this hypothesis by noting that another artifact which were with features similar to the Schliemann’s mask had been was found around at the same site, due to the lion’s site (Clarified what artifact was found). This artifact, a gold ceremonial object in the shape of a lion's head, has well-defined lips on the artifact just like and a beard resembling those on the king’s mask and the details king's mask. These similarities suggest that both objects were crafted by the same ancient goldsmith and indicate that the mask is genuine (Expanded on how these similarities support authenticity).

Lastly, the reading passage posits that Schliemann's abrupt closure of lion's beard on the artifact is also similar to the beard on the king’s mask. these features can suggest the mask is not fake. ¶ Thirdly, the reading passage posits that his excavation site after finding the mask implies he knew it was fake and wanted to hide this fact. Nevertheless, the professor refutes this notion by explaining that such behavior was normal during Schliemann’s time (Clarified why this behavior was considered normal). As a treasure hunter primarily interested in finding valuable objects rather than understanding their cultural significance, Schliemann closed place he is likely stopped excavating after he found the mask, it suggest that Schliemann knew the mask was a fake and he didn't want other to know that nevertheless, the professor refute that excavation’s closing is normal in Schliemann’s time, she thinks Schliemann was a hunter, who primarily just finds valuable objects. He stopped the excavation because he believed there was nothing valuable left to find. ¶ this This idea contradicts what was proposed in the readingreading passage (Emphasized the contradiction between the reading passage and the lecture).

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The author in the reading asserts that there are three arguments supporting the idea that the negatives were made by the photographer Ansel Adams, while the lecturer in the lecture expresses an opposing opinion.

To begin with, although the reading passage argues that some of the negatives show the same landmarks that Ansel Adams once photographed, the lecturer challenges this claim by stating that the large pine tree was not exclusively photographed by Ansel Adams. In fact, this tree is a famous landmark in Yosemite National Park, attracting numerous photographers to capture its beauty. Thus, it is likely that other photographers took similar photos.

Furthermore, while the reading passage contends that Virginia Adams, Ansel's wife, wrote on and organized these negatives, the lecturer disputes this notion by explaining that some place names on these envelopes were misspelled. Considering Virginia grew up in Yosemite and her father was an artist with an art studio in the park, it seems unlikely she would misspell familiar place names from her childhood.

Lastly, although the reading passage suggests that some of these negatives originated from Ansel Adams' studio which had suffered a fire, the lecturer retorts that developing photos during those times involved using highly flammable chemicals which could easily cause fires. Consequently, many photography studios experienced fire damage. Therefore, it cannot be concluded with certainty that these negatives came from Adams' studio based solely on fire damage.

These opposing opinions from the lecturer serve to challenge and cast doubt on each of the arguments presented in the reading passage. (259 words)

The reading material suggests that the mask is fake. However, the listening material offers an opposing stance, suggesting that many archaeologist believe the mask is genuine, and what the reading passage suggests is not convincing. Moreover, the professor in the lecture provide three compelling arguments. Firstly, the author of the reading material contends that, the mask is fake due to the history of Schliemann' dishonest behavior. However, the professor rejects that by explaining that Greece government appointed supervisor to watch Schliemann closely, because Greece government took accuse of Schliemann' dishonest behavior. So, It is unlikely that Schliemann place a fake one at the site without being caught, implying that the mask is genuine. Secondly, the writer mentions that the mask's lip is different with the genuine ancient Greek masks. The lecturer undermines plausibility of that by pointing out the fact that a ancient and authentic object, found in the same site, with a shape of lion's head share the similar features with the mask,the lion's head not only also has well- defined lips, but also has the bread as similar as the mask, thereby supporting that the mask is authentic. Finally, While the article states that it is weird that Schliemann closed the site soon after the mask was found, which is challenged by the professor. According to the lecture, it is said that, in that time, what Schliemann did is normal. Schliemann, as a treasure hunt, mainly was interested in the valuable objects and he did not care about the culture. As a result, when he found the mask, he concluded that nothing in the tomb were worth to continue work.

The reading material suggests that the mask is fake. However, the listening material offers an opposing stance, suggesting that many archaeologists believe the mask is genuine, and what the reading passage suggests is not convincing. Moreover, the professor in the lecture provides three compelling arguments.

Firstly, the author of the reading material contends that the mask is fake due to Schliemann's history of dishonest behavior. However, the professor rejects this by explaining that the Greek government appointed a supervisor to watch Schliemann closely because they took accusations of his dishonesty seriously. Thus, it is unlikely that Schliemann could have placed a fake mask at the site without being caught, implying that the mask is genuine.

Secondly, the writer mentions that the mask's lips are different from those on genuine ancient Greek masks. The lecturer undermines this argument by pointing out an ancient and authentic object found at the same site with a shape of a lion's head shares similar features with Schliemann's mask. The lion's head not only has well-defined lips but also bears a beard as similar as that on Schliemann's mask, thereby supporting its authenticity.

Finally, while the article states that it is suspicious for Schliemann to have closed the site soon after finding the mask, this point is challenged by the professor. According to the lecture, such actions were normal during Schliemann's time. As a treasure hunter primarily interested in valuable objects rather than understanding their cultural significance, he would have concluded there was nothing left worth discovering at this site once he found what he believed to be its most valuable artifact – hence his decision to stop exploring further.

The reading and listening both explore the same issue about some old negatives and their creator. The author states that it was Ansel Adams created the negatives. On the other hand, the professor opposed to this Idea, and in the lecture he provided evidence to support his claim. To begin with, the speaker points out the leaning pine tree that mentioned in the reading is not a random tree, it was a famous land mark back in time which appeals many visitors and a lot of other photographers. Hence, Ansel is not the only candidate for the pine tree image. There is possibility that other photographer might took the picture of learning pine tree. Moreover, the professor contends that the hand writing on the envelopes are not spelled correctly. However, Adam's wife Virginia is born and raised in Yosemite, and it is so unlikely that she would misspell the name of her hometown, so with that being said it's not a reliable proof to demonstrate that Ansel is the one who created the negatives. Lastly, the lecturer further disclaimed the credibility that asserted in the passage that the impaired part of the negatives is the proof of Adam is the maker of negatives. He stated photographer back in that time use flammable chemicals to produce negatives, and many of them did it the same way. Therefore, the counterparts of this information is not reliable. o sum up, the speaker illustrates his disagreement with the opinion showed in the passage by demonstrating the evidence mentioned above.

4.文章结构与组织

Your essay has a basic structure but lacks clear organization and detailed development of ideas. Each paragraph should focus on a single point made in the lecture and directly contrast it with the reading passage to strengthen your argument. Furthermore, transitions between paragraphs need to be smoother to guide readers through your argumentation more effectively.

Improvement suggestions:

  • Start with an introductory sentence that clearly states what you will discuss. This sets expectations for your reader.

  • Organize your body paragraphs by first presenting a point from the reading passage, then immediately counter it with information from the lecture. This direct comparison makes your argument stronger and easier to follow.

  • Use transition words and phrases like "Furthermore," "In addition," or "On the other hand" to create smoother connections between your points.

Examples in English:

  1. Begin with an introduction like, "This essay will discuss how points made in a lecture cast doubt on claims presented in a reading passage regarding Ansel Adams' supposed negatives."

  2. For clearer organization, structure paragraphs like this: "The reading passage claims that... However, the lecture challenges this by stating..." This format directly contrasts points from both sources, making your argument more coherent.

6.文章修订

The discourse surrounding the origins of a collection of photographic negatives, purportedly created by Ansel Adams, is meticulously examined through contrasting perspectives presented in the reading and listening passages. The author of the reading posits that these negatives are indeed the work of Ansel Adams, substantiating this claim with several pieces of evidence. Conversely, the professor in the lecture systematically refutes these claims, casting doubt on their validity with compelling counterarguments.

Initially, the lecture challenges the assertion regarding a distinctive leaning pine tree captured in one of the negatives. The professor elucidates that this tree is not an obscure subject uniquely favored by Adams but rather a renowned landmark within Yosemite National Park. Given its popularity and accessibility in the 1920s, attracting myriad visitors and photographers alike, it is plausible that individuals other than Adams could have photographed this iconic scene. This argument significantly undermines the exclusivity attributed to Adams concerning this image.

Furthermore, discrepancies in handwriting on the envelopes containing the negatives are scrutinized. The reading suggests that similarities in handwriting to Virginia Adams' bolster the claim of Ansel Adams' authorship. However, the professor counters this by highlighting inaccuracies in spelling place names—errors unlikely to be made by Virginia Adams, given her intimate familiarity with Yosemite from childhood. This discrepancy raises questions about attributing these works to Ansel based solely on handwriting analysis.

Lastly, the professor addresses assertions related to fire damage as evidence of Adams' ownership. He explains that during the 1920s, photographic processes involved highly flammable chemicals, rendering studio fires a common hazard for many photographers—not exclusively Ansel Adams. This broader context dilutes the argument that fire-damaged negatives inherently indicate their creation by Adams.

In essence, through methodical refutation of each piece of evidence presented in support of Ansel Adams' authorship of the negatives, the lecture adeptly casts doubt on their purported origins. By presenting alternative explanations for each point raised in favor of Adams' involvement, it compellingly argues against a definitive attribution to him based solely on the evidence provided.
