一、 考试概述：

今天的考试第一篇和第三篇都不算难，虽然第一篇的话题很新，但文章并没有涉及太多生僻的方面，只是老生常谈的讲了开垦荒地，种植农业等内容，而且题型比较友好，最适合先做。但是第二篇出现了很多专业词汇，影响烤鸭们的阅读速度和答题，另外这篇文章的题型也稍难，会影响考生的心情，建议先做第三篇。

参考文章：

Grandidier's baobabs have massive, cylindrical, long, thick, trunks, up to three meters across, covered with smooth, reddish-grey bark. They can reach 25 to 30 m (82 to 98 ft) in height. At certain times of the year the flat-topped crowns bear bluish-green palmate leaves, dark brown floral buds or spectacular flowers with white petals. The large, dry fruits of the baobab contain kidney-shaped seeds within an edible pulp.

The long-lived Grandidier's baobab is in leaf from October to May, and flowers between May and August. The flowers, said to smell of sour watermelon, open just before or soon after dusk, and all the pollen is released during the first night. The tree is pollinated by nocturnal mammals, such as fork-marked lemurs and insects like the Hawk Moth. The lemurs move through the canopies, inserting their snouts into the white flowers and licking nectar from the petal bases, resulting in pollen being deposited in the lemurs' faces, whereas the moth is slightly more effective at pollination because it is able to fly from tree to tree with most of its body covered in pollen.

The species bears ripe fruit in November and December. Unlike the baobabs of Africa and Australia, it appears that the seeds of the tasty fruit are not dispersed by animals. Lemurs are the only living animals on Madagascar that are capable of acting as seed dispersers, yet seed dispersal by lemurs has never been documented. In the past, however, this could have been very different. There are several species that have gone extinct since human colonization of the island (1,500 to 2,000 years ago) that could very likely have been dispersers of the seeds. This includes species of primates that were thought to be similar to baboons, and the heaviest bird that ever lived, the elephant bird, which had a powerful beak that could have opened large fruit. Today, water may be the means by which the seeds are dispersed.

Lack of water can sometimes be a problem for plants in Madagascar. It appears that the baobab overcomes this by storing water within the fibrous wood of the trunk, as the tree's diameter fluctuates with rainfall.

Passage 2：

题目：The use of dietar supplements 维生素缺钙

题型：5段落信息配对题+5人物名称配对题+4总结填空题

题号：新题

文章大意：

第一段：维生素C其实并没有什么效果，防御流感的效果和常洗手没有什么区别。scientific research shows that这句话其实非常具有误导性，因为真正的科研只有极少数人懂，还有很多研究人员可能持相反的态度

         

第二段：研究人员Mark Bollard首先指出一个研究成果可能很快又会被其他研究人员否定，这让大众很迷茫。还有，目前所谓的random trail并不具备很高的可信度，更不用说drug companies的随机调查，并没有科学依据，只是做行为分析。

         

第三段：Roy Jackson通过大量的样本说明很多营养品作用不大，但是有些营养品在有些阶段还是有效的，比如folic acid（叶酸）对于孕妇。

         

第四段：研究人员Reid对于钙片的分析，曾经的实验受众是一群特定的女性，不具代表性。原本说钙片可以增加bone density,其实效果不大，而且会对心脏有影响。

         

第五段：研究人员Mark Bollard支持以上观点。比如虽然很多人不认可，但是钙片销量确实下降了60/100

         

第六段：一种新型营养品Omega3不能被生产，研究者Stonehouse自己就在吃这个产品，认为有用。Mkeaf认为还是keep a  good diet就好了。

参考答案：

14-17) 段落信息配对题

14. A． A reference to certain language can be missing

15. C． A reference to some nutritions can be useful to a group of people

16. F． A reference to a kind of nutrition that can't be produced

17. D。 A reference to an incorrect experiment

18-22) 人物名称配对题

18. Mark Bollard。

19. Stonehouse。  

20. Roy Jackson。

21. Reid。

22. Mkeaf。

23-26) 总结填空题

23. unpresensative。研究人员Reid对钙片的分析，曾经的实验受众是一群特定的女性，不具代表性

24. density。原本说钙片可以增加bone density,其实效果不大

25. heart。而且会对心脏有影响。

题目类别：科技类  

提问方式：优缺点

考试题目：  

People today can   shop, work and communicate with others via the Internet. They don't need   to do these face to face.Is it a positive or negative development？

 

Word count (332)

The advent of Internet has shaped many facets of our lives, such as the way we do the shopping, work and connect with each other. It is unfair and unjustifiable to assert that this change is favorable or not, and case-to –case analysis is required.

The advance in technology, by and large, brings some benefits at first glance, so does the Internet. The geographical barrier has been removed because we are linked with signals which are transmitted by satellites and cables, facilitating the efficiency of work and daily life. With the platform of Internet, multinational companies can easily hold some cross-border teleconferences and the information or the policies can be more efficiently circulated between the headquarters and subsidiary companies. The individuals can also enlarge their social networking via some social websites such as Twitter and Facebook, in which they are more likely to make friends from all walks of life and different corners of the world. Besides, online shopping website also provide accessibility and affordability for people, with a wide range of goods to choose from.

At second thought, the downsides of Internet cannot be cast aside. Working staff are more separated than ever before, a phenomenon that will erode the sense of belongings and emotional bond with employees. The interpersonal relationship, on one hand, is expanded, on the other hand, it is maintained in a quite superficial and loose way, because individuals are bereft of the chance to have face-to-face communication. In this way, their subtle emotions can be hardly conveyed through their body languages and the words on the Internet cannot express some feelings. In terms of shopping, the customers have fat chance to have a touch with the physical commodities, needless to say detect whether the goods are fake or not.

In conclusion, it is irrational for us to label the attribution of the Internet, because technology is, on most occasions, a means we can resort to, not a sage we can praise or a scapegoat we can blame.

口语

一、考试整体概述：

以下为4月份本场高频题，请考生扎实准备

1.    Describe a rule at your school that you agree or disagree

2.    Describe a time you had to save money

3.    Describe a special day out which didn’t cost a lot

4.    Describe a letter that is important to you

5.    Describe a product you bought recently that you are happy with  

二、本场难题及解析

Describe a rule at your school that you agree or disagree

You should say:

• What is the rule

• Why this rule has to be established

• What will happen if we break down this rule?

• What are the positive and negative effects of this rule

Speaking of a rule at my school that I disagree, the first thing that bumped into my mind is that there was a very strict rule requiring boys to have their hair cut to a certain length – in particular, I mean, to be specific, the hair had to be at least one inch above the collar. I was at a boy school so it didn’t apply to any girls, which was enforced by a teacher who had the job of walking around every Wednesday and checking boys’ hairstyles. I don’t know when the rule was made, but it was a very traditional school and it was a pretty old rule. I think it was standard for that kind of school. At the time, I didn’t like the rule because, like all the other boys, I really wanted to be, err, to have long hair. We thought that hair, long hair, looked good on men. This was in the 1970s when men all had shoulder-length hair and we were saturated with images of men with hair that was shoulder length or longer, – actors, pop stars, even the politicians. If you look back now, you can see that all of the men at that time had quite long hair. At the time I thought it was an unnecessary rule, and I was mortified on the day when I was given a haircut when the teacher caught me with my hair being too long. The school used to hire an army barber to come in and cut people’s hair if they were, uh, if they were caught breaking the rule. At the time, the school used to talk about encouraging a polite attitude, encouraging a civilized attitude, but I didn’t respect that.
