Task 1

What can parents do to help their children succeed in school? (看题目关键词可以被分为学习类，也可从“人物类”/“物品类”角度答题)

 

这道题从很早很早的时候(07年8月份左右)就出现过了，大多出现并且题干内容重合，都是再问说“如果同学/朋友/…岁的孩子，想学好一门…, TA应该做什么? … … ”。

 

思路解析：

Assertion：建议孩子多参加体育活动

Reason 1： 一方面锻炼身体，对于学习效率更高。然后展开: 如果缺乏运动，一天到晚学习.... 老枯燥了~ ~ ~ 运动一下应该可以让孩子更加有活力，学习的时候也更容易Focus。

 

Reason 2：另一方面： 孩子通过做一些集体活动，也可以锻炼到他的合作精神/领导力。 展开： 学业的成功，不应该仅仅用成绩来衡量(Being succeed in school is not necessarily about being good at academic study). 因为学术知识还是有限的，如果孩子可以在学校里面健康、快乐地长大，发掘出(Develop)一些自己的兴趣、爱好，那其实就是成功了 … 等等

 

Task 2

Do you agree or disagree that students should join some social activities, such as joining clubs or sports groups?(是否同意学生应当参加一些社会活动? 如: 加入俱乐部或者运动组织? )

 

思路解析：

Assertion：我觉得可以参加体育锻炼。

Reason 1：如第1题。(当然了，Please~ 不要傻傻地用一模一样的答案来回答问题，变通一下，好不好？ 你把阅卷考官当傻子，你会有报应的。。。)

 

Reason 2：在学业压力/工作压力这么大的情况下，做做运动其实是一种非常好的放松方式。周末打打球，放松地很好，weekday开始的时候学习效率会更高一些。

 

Task 3

Newspaper: car rent service on campus

Student can rent car on campus and drive it off campus, so that it will make easier for students to travel and make the students who cannot afford a car access to it Conversation: the women is happy with the proposal

 

1) The campus is so far away the town, and the bus is 2 hour for a run. It will take hours to go to the town by bus, and if you have several places to visit in the town, it will take help a day.

 

2) She cannot afford to own a car as a student. Apart from the cost of the car, the maintenance and repair fee are also high. So car rent service is just the simple solution.

 

对话主人公赞同学校的决策并分别对学校给的两个理由表示支持。理由就围绕两条：学校离镇上远，开车方便省时，作为学生，买不起车，租车是比较经济的选择。

 

Task4

概念=buffering: in order to be less aggressive to the stronger animals, the weaker animals always use a baby as a buffer to approach to the stronger animals?

 

Example: monkey in Japan, in the group, the stronger monkeys always the at the first line for food, and when the weaker monkeys approach them, the stronger one always attack the weaker ones, and leave few food to the weaker monkeys. What the weaker monkeys do is borrow a baby monkey form a mother monkey. It picks it up and carry it in front the stronger monkeys. As a result, the stronger monkey does not feel offended and even share some food to the weaker monkey.

 

我们只需要抓住less aggressive．stronger，weaker这几个目的和主体词，理解这个现象是关于什么的.

 

Task 5

Conversation: the women have some problem with her schedule: promise her elder sister to look after her baby, when her sister is out for a concert with her husband tonight, but she forgets that she has a history essay to do tonight.

 

Two solutions:

1) Cancel the schedule and make the couple go to the concert other day. But the ticket cannot be get date changed or refunded.

 

2) Take some books with her and go her sister’s home to take care of the baby, and do her history paper during the interval and after the baby goes to sleep.

 

Task 6.

How the methods of building change form the past to the current days?

 

Past: use thick stone build the base and the wall of high buildings. So that the thick stone can hold up the heavy weight on the top.

 

Drawbacks: make the inside room small and cramped

Example: the castle

Now: use steel, relatively thin steel can hold up more weight.

Example: of the building, the use of steel makes the room space big and copious.

 

T6的重点时能抓住和lecture的structure切合的表达，并适当结合例子，能抓住lecture核心信息—般分数都不会低．

 

写作部分

 

 

独立写作：

 

独立写作真题回顾：The internet access is as important as road building and so forth, d.o you think government should provide internet access to all citizens at no cost?

 

 

第一个方面，对于那些经济条件比较好的地区，当然可以这么做。

 

It takes little imagination to visualize that for those well-off regions, where people are not concerned so much about the basic needs of their life as about the satisfaction of their secondary needs, providing free internet access bodes well for the development of these places.

 

展开的时候直接可以说：

a treasure trove of information, essential propagator of knowledge, a remarkable avenue for the academically disadvantaged, vast reach over a variety of products and services

 

 

第二个方面，对于那些比较贫困的地区来说，还是算了吧，那么多更重要的问题有待解决呢，哪有闲钱搞因特网。

 

It takes even less imagination to think that for those poverty-stricken areas, where billions of poor people need a lot more energy to pull them out of poverty and drive economic development, improve life expectancies, and bolster human health, it is unjustifiable to opt for free internet connection.

 

综合写作

 

文章主旨：在美国eastern coast政府建了high-speed rails,阅读认为在 San Francisco 和Los Angeles之间建一个相似的system,会benefit as well.

 

阅读部分：

 

1: 修路花费很高，如果人们都take the train instead，there will be less damage to the road.

 

2: rails 是the most popular way to travel，更多的人乘坐会relieve the congestion.

 

3：it is more environmentally friendly, 因为速度更快，就会更fuel efficient,减少污染排放。

 

听力部分：

 

1：修路确实会省一些钱，但是建这个铁路需要花100 billion, 是人们一年交的tax的75倍，人们就付不起loan了。

 

2：如果这个station can be easily accessed，确实会有助于缓解交通拥挤，但是there is a lacking of the rail station, 而公共交通非常easily access, 所以不能缓解交通拥堵。

 

3：并没有减少emission, 因为是高速列车，所以速度快才能保证排污少，一些tracks of some parts可以快，一些不可以，在不可以快速行驶的轨道上不得不减速，减速就会导致污染，所以会much less fuel efficient.
