8月29日托福考情速递！今日托福考题来啦，“托福写作题命中！是课上讲过的！”
1. hotspot
2. continental plate collision
3. ice
1. 既然是火山爆发造成，那应该在山周围找到火山，但是发现最近的火山也要5500公里远，所以不可能是火山。
2. 如果是板块碰撞引起的话那应该山脉会有一些 old age的feature，但是山脉的山峰很尖很高表明山脉形成才不久，不可能是板块碰撞。
3. 是有很多山谷，这些是running river 冲刷形成的，所以必然是形成在水结冰之前，所以不可能是ice。

We've been discussing government budgets and the difficult decisions governments must make regarding the use of public funds. Some services are clearly essential and must be paid for by any government. But what about public funding of the arts? Do you believe that governments should provide financial support to artists-for example, painters, sculptors, musicians, or filmmakers? Why or why not?

I enjoy art as much as anyone does, but public funds come from taxes, and I don't think taxpayers' hard-earned money should be spent on impractical or inessential items and services. Artists should support themselves by selling their work to private individuals and companies. If they can't find enough buyers, then maybe they should change careers.

Personally think art actually is essential. Lots of public spaces in my hometown just wouldn't be the same without artwork. From statues in public parks to murals painted on the walls of government buildings, my hometown really benefits from funding the artists who created these works. The public spaces are simply more enjoyable for visitors because of the artwork.
