2007年2月2日北美托福机经写作部分
Writing I:
The reading lists 3 benefits of the lie detector.
1) lie detector eliminates cheating. Some bodily reactions may be not accurate, but brain-scanning is precise.
2) Lie-detecting results could be used in court as evidence.
3) The technology of lie detector develops the related technology, which could be used in diplomacy or business negociations occasions to test insincerity.
Listening Part completely refutes the reading passage. The speaker thinks it is a terrible idea to use lie detector.
1) There are possibilities that liars may manage to control their brain activities just as they control their bodily reactions like sweating by learning how the lie detector works. As a result the lie-detecting result may not be acurrate..
2) The testees may be mistakenly judged to be lying simply because they are uncertain in response to the lie detector. Thus the lie detector is not worth being trusted in court.
3) On some ocassions of diplomacy or business negociation, people may pretend to be polite. (I am not sure of this argument.)
Writing II
State your opinions: Do you think people can learn more from watching TV than reading books?
