【免費下載：托福TPO第36套閱讀真題與詳解第一篇】
同學們好，我是字神康老師~
托福版的大家都知道TPO嗎？
TPO是ETS先前考過的正式考題，後來不再用於考試中，成為官方的練習題。
因此具有高度的參考價值，很適合用於模擬考和複習，
截至現在為止，ETS一共發佈了49套TPO題目，
其中第30-49套題目和現在的TOEFL正式考試的難度很接近，
只是可惜其中有幾套題在網路上找不到，
即使有些大陸網站好像有，下載後才發現其實是假貨。
今天分享第36套的閱讀真題與詳解第一篇給大家！
費勁千辛萬苦得來的題目，需要的同學快快抓緊時間下載哦~

托福TPO第36套閱讀第一篇
Soil Formation
Living organisms play an essential role in soil formation. The numerous
plants and animals living in the soil release minerals from the parent material
from which soil is formed, supply organic matter, aid in the translocation
(movement) and aeration of the soil, and help protect the soil from erosion.
The types of organisms growing or living in the soil greatly influence the
soil's physical and chemical characteristics. In fact,for mature soils in many
parts of the world, the predominant type of natural vegetation is considered
the most important direct influence on soil characteristics. For this reason, a
soil scientist can tell a great deal about the attributes of the soil in any
given area simply form knowing what kind of flora the soil supports. Thus
prairies and tundra regions, which have characteristic vegetations, also have
characteristic soils.
