综合写作：

阅读：三种好处

1.  可以省养路费；


2.  缓解congestion；

3.  节省燃料。

听力：否定

1.  加州建这个高铁就很贵，是每年支出的75%；


2.  因为东海岸有便利的交通，可以到达高铁，但是西海岸交通匮乏，想要到达高铁，人们还得开车去，这样路上还得堵车，所以交通问题缓解不了；

3.  省燃料需要建whole route，不然到老的路段还是要减速。

 

独立写作：

本题可以看成是二选一题进行处理，以下是给出的参考：

解题思路：It is far more beneficial to students when working in groups for the following reasons.

1. First off, working in a group can be very conducive for students since they can help students to study more effectively and thus tackle real-world issues. A recent study conducted by University of Minnesota backed up the claim that study teams, collaborative learning and group projects are far more effective in helping students to develop useful skills than traditional teacher-led teaching approach. In fact, when learning in groups, students have to do some research about the topic they are expected to discuss beforehand, which helps them to clear up some misunderstandings and boast their enthusiasm in academic exploration. Clearly, working in a group can help students to retain information for a much longer time and have a much deeper understanding of some concepts and ideas. Consequently, if teachers categorize students and organize them in small study groups, chances are that they would solve complex issues together, like researching the history of the city, examining the water quality of the local town, so on and so forth. Students can develop critical thinking skills as well as learn to collect and analyze information from multiple sources.（参与到团体活动中更能提升学生的学习效率。）

2. Additionally, working in groups has much deeper implications beyond students’ academic experience. As the saying goes: ‘many hands make light work’. Actually it remains as relevant today as it did a century ago. To be more specific, working together helps to develop skills like cooperation, organization and leadership. When learning in a group, every single student gets a chance to contribute their knowledge to the group, and they can learn to appreciate the work of other students simultaneously as well. What’s more, they have to work closely with others for the same goal otherwise they might not be able to compete with other study groups. More importantly, students will get exposure to distinctive perspectives and at the same time learn how to accept different points of view and find common ground in this process. Such an educational experience will not only be helpful for their future study but also beneficial to them when they have to deal with coworkers, clients, and teammates in a professional setting in the future. Numerous studies have shown that students who have prior experience working with others enjoy a better chance to be successful in their future career.（团体活动除了提升学习效率外还对学生的其他方面带来好处。）

3. 让步段：　Granted, doing activities alone could improve your ability of solving problems on your own. However, you have to be faced with huge risk of wasting too much time and even failure. （这是一个让步段，简单说明尽管独立完成能够提升自己独立解决问题的能力，但要面对浪费时间甚至是失败的风险。）
