托福写作高分短语be prone to的使用

托福写作中过了快速构思这一槛，迎来的就是词汇多样和句式多样的痛苦。

痛苦在于要么短时间内很难条件反射出高分词句，要么压根不知道一些高分词句。

这些问题的根源是没有稳定的英文输入和定期的复习。

那对于输入来讲，课上会经常提到的途径有：精读托福阅读和听力的文本、精读成就的双语外刊、查阅成就词典、课下发的词汇句式替换资料、课上演示的范文和课下发的范文、写作批改中修改和替换的表达。

这些输入途径好好执行，加以高质量地复习，会很大程度上加强大家对表达的掌握。

下面，就会节选一些文章中符合托福写作要求的高分词句来分享，希望大家有所收获！

文章片段节选

At the upper timberline the trees begin to become twisted and deformed. This is particularly true for trees in the middle and upper latitudes, which tend to attain greater heights on ridges, whereas in the tropics the trees reach their greater heights in the valleys. This is because middle- and upper- latitude timberlines are strongly influenced by the duration and depth of the snow cover. As the snow is deeper and lasts longer in the valleys, trees tend to attain greater heights on the ridges, even though they are more exposed to high-velocity winds and poor, thin soils there. In the tropics, the valleys appear to be more favorable because they are less prone to dry out, they have less frost, and they have deeper soils.
