▶ Your Answer : In this reading passage there is ample support for the author's claim that there are some purpose of using the Lambeosaurus crests. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author's point
First, the professor contends that the the crests would not be used for mating. Instead of the crests, most of them utilize behavior and sounds when they are searching for partners. For example, crocodiles talk with opposite sex by lifting hair and making growing noises. So it can be similar with Lambeosaurus. This casts doubt on the reading passage's claim that the crests were used to attract to mates because female species judged the size of crests when choosing mates.
Next, the professor insists that Lambeosaurus may not use its crest to combat each other. Some fossil has shown that the direction of the crests pointed backward. If it were used for fighting, it should have pointed the frontward. Also, the crests were hollow. What i mean was that they are so breakable that they were not able to detect others. This counters the reading assertions that the crests may be used for fighting against other dinosaurs due to their crests acting as protective methods.
Finally, the professor argues that the crests could not provide enough air to them when they were under water. They had huge body so they would require amount of oxygen. But likened to their body, the crests were not big enough to save sufficient lot of air. This refutes the reading suggestion that crests supplied oxygen to their body when they were under water to eat something like water plants.
Good: 24~30 점수: 24 리딩에 대한 정보가 부족한 통합형 에세이인거 같습니다. 통합형 에세이에서 가장 중요하게 보는 것 중에 하나는 한 주제에 대하여서 서로다른 정보를 가진 리딩과 리스닝이 어떻게 둘이서 서로 반박을 하고 있는 지를 보는 것 입니다. 지금 이 에세이 같은 경우에는 리스닝에 대한 정보는 충분하게 서술되어 있으나. 리딩에 대한 정보는 한 문장으로만 설명 되어 있습니다. 따라서 한 문장으로 끝내는 것 보다는 리딩을 좀 더 반박할 수 있는 문장들을 더 서술하는 것이 좋을 거 같습니다. 수고많으셨습니다. |
