　　以下为本场考试部分高频话题解析

　　

Part 1

　　 Travel (space travel)

　　 

　　Do you want to travel in the outer space?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Yeah that would be fantastic! I always want to experience the gravity-free condition, and it would be amazing to overlook the whole universe from the spaceship.

　　 

　　What would you do if you had this opportunity?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　I would first attend some special trainings regularly. I’m not a very fit person, or I have to say subhealthy, so I need to work out to get ready for the possible weightlessness or other harsh conditions I might encounter in the space.

　　 

　　Do you like to travel by air?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Yes and no. Travelling by air is indeed very fast, and the service on the airline can be good as well, but it takes a lot of time to get to the airport and go through the security check. So if it’s not too far, maybe it’s better to take the train.

　　 

　　When was the last time you went travelling?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　I went to a coastal city in the northern part of China last weekend with my friends. We went there by train and had a lot of delicious seafood. It was a nice trip.

　　 

　　

Part 2 & 3

　　Part 2题目1

　　 

　　Describe something you made yourself.

　　You should say:

　　

What you made.

　　

Why you make it.

　　

How you make it.

　　

and explain how you felt about it.

　　

 

　　提示：

　　此话题属于“物品”类话题。描述自己曾经做过的一样东西。可以是衣物，比如一件衣服，一顶帽子；也可以是手工艺品，比如折纸、陶艺等等；也可以描述自己做过的甜品，比如蛋糕、蛋挞等等，但注意最好不要说做菜。确定了是什么物品之后，可以描述材料、制作过程以及为什么想到要做这个东西，比如因为新奇，因为朋友生日，因为逢年过节节庆需要等等。最后可以描述一下自己动手做东西的感受，可以说第一次做搞砸了，或者成功了十分喜悦，学习了一门手艺，提高了技能，加深了与亲朋好友的感情等等。

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　I used to make a bamboo lantern. A lantern is a traditional handicraft in the southern part of China. There is a Lantern Festival right after the Spring Festival. It is the time when people make and appreciate this work of art. In order to celebrate the festival, I made a lantern under the guidance of my grandfather.

　　The whole lantern looks like a rabbit. The frame of the lamp was made of sliced bamboo, and a bulb was placed at the bottom of the framework. And the Xuan paper was pasted onto the framework, which was painted with vivid Chinese paintings.

　　I like this bamboo lantern very much, although the color on it is a bit faded, it still looks beautiful when the bulb is lit up. More importantly, it contains a lot of precious memories that I have with my grandfather. I hope we can protect this traditional skill and pass on to the next generation.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①handicraft： 名词；手工艺品

　　Eg：Each location will host special events like handicraft conferences and demonstrations by local artisans.

　　 

　　②appreciate: 动词；欣赏，感激，增值

　　Eg：In order to appreciate the novel, one must be able to enter the spirit of the work.

　　 

　　③vivid: 形容词；生动的，鲜明的

　　Eg：The painter brushed over the canvas to bring out a more vivid effect.

　　 

　　④ light up: 词组；照亮，点亮

　　Eg：Finally, we were dazzled by two high-tech garments that harness LEDs to light up the night.

　　 

　　 Part 3题目

　　 

　　1. Why do some people prefer to make things themselves?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　I guess it’s because they enjoy the process or want to have a special design. Some people enjoy the process of making things themselves, because it will give them a sense of achievement. On the other hand, things designed and made by oneself are usually different from others, which means you can have something very unique and special if you make it by yourself.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①achievement： 名词：成就

　　Eg：This achievement is surely unprecedented.

　　 

　　②unique: 形容词；独特的，独一无二的

　　Eg：The real innovations are expected to come from a device finding its own unique uses.

　　 

　　2. What are the major differences between the things you buy from a store and the thing you made all by yourself?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　The first main difference I think is uniqueness. Things sold in a store are usually ready-made products and many people have exactly the same thing as you do. However if you make something by yourself and it will probably be the only one in the world. Another difference is that, it’s a matter of time. Self-made products can take a long time, but if you buy things from a store, it’s fast and convenient.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①uniqueness： 名词；独特性，唯一性

　　Eg：This uniqueness bridges the physical and digital worlds, accelerating innovation, time-to-market, and market growth.

　　 

　　②ready-made: 形容词；现成的，做好的

　　Eg：Do you have any ready-made clothes that will fit me?

　　 

　　3. Do you think DIY will become more and more popular in the near future?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　I don’t think so. Although there are many DIY shops recently, it is more like a hobby, people would like to give it a go, but will not take it seriously. With the development of technology, mass production is the main stream. It’s fast and convenient. That’s why many handicrafts fail to be handed down from past generations because we’ve got more modern and handy alternatives.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①mass production： 词组：大批量生产，大规模生产

　　Eg：In an age of mass production, it is a delight to visit these family-owned wineries.

　　 

　　②hand down: 词组；流传下来，世代相传

　　Eg：Particularly in Confucian societies in East Asia, people are more keen to hand down the latest tools and knowledge to the next generation.

　　以下为重点话题及范文解析：

　　 

　　

题目：Some think most crime is the result of circumstances e.g. poverty and other social problems. Others believe that most crime is caused by people who are bad by nature. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

　　 

　　题型：双方讨论

　　 

　　话题：犯罪类

　　 

　　解题思路：这一命题要求我们对犯罪原因作出讨论，一方认为是社会环境问题导致（如经济、教育问题等）；另一方认为是人性本恶，造成违法犯罪行为。写作时要两方面观点都需要加以分析，并且着重论述自己更偏向的一方观点，并对另一方进行适当反驳。

　　 

　　参考范文：

　　While crime is condemned all over the world, it has yet to be explained why certain individuals violate laws. Some blame the misdeeds on the malicious nature that makes a person criminal, and others on the environment in which law-breakers are raised up.

　　 

　　Admittedly, there are many external factors triggering manifold malefactions, especially in places where inequalities are obvious. Statistics show that the wider the economic gap is, the higher violent crime rates will be. Comparison exacerbates jealousy and hatred when lower classes dedicate much more but still get far less than those who have high socio-economic status. Worse still, such societies are intentionally ignorant of the true justice or equality, let alone providing the welfare to compensate the unprivileged group. Therefore, a vicious cycle is formed -- the poor do not have access to a better life, so they are forced to resort to extreme actions such as robbery or steal to keep alive, which exactly offers the power-holders a righteous reason to eliminate “the uncivilized” by depriving them of the right to receive quality education, medical care and job opportunities.

　　 

　　However, with so many onlookers worldwide, it is not that easy for a certain government to shed off responsibilities for its social problems. Smartly enough, it summons a group of scholars and conjures up a seemingly new theory about human nature, albeit dressed up in the language of biology and psychology, the core theme is rather traditional that the criminals are sub-human predator. Genetic makeup acts as a cause of delinquency and above all, criminality is a problem that should be dealt with on an individual level rather than a social basis. In this way, people are convinced that criminals are born rather than made and their society is not guilty.

　　 

　　Though the old-aged debate between nature and nurture in terms of crime motives has never stopped, from my point of view, I never relate evil to “bad blood”. Too often a culprit in court is also a victim of the circumstance as well, and social issues attribute more to tragedies than genetic heritages.
