　　以下为本次考试部分高频话题解析：

　　 

　　

Part 1

　　Sleep

　　 

　　How many hours do you sleep every day?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　I try to maintain an eight-hour sleep every day. But it’s difficult to keep that as sometimes I have to work overtime or I suffer from insomnia. So I would say I sleep 6 to 8 hours every day.

　　 

　　Is it necessary to take a snap every day?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　It differs from person to person. Some people need to take a nap at noon in order to get refreshed for the afternoon, but I personally don’t need it. If I sleep after lunch I won’t get up until dinner time.

　　 

　　Do old people sleep a lot? Why?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Probably yes. Because when people get old, we can get tired easily and need to take a nap or have a rest more frequently. But I have to say old people do have a much healthier lifestyle than young people as they go to bed early and get up early.

　　 

　　Do you always have a good sleep?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　Most of the time yes. But sometimes I have to work overtime and get quite stressed, in this case I may suffer from insomnia.

　　 

　　

Part 2 & 3

　　Part 2题目

　　 

　　Describe a day that you went out but didnt spend a lot of money.

　　You should say:

　　When this happened

　　Where you went

　　Who you went out with

　　And explain why you didn’t spend much money.

　　 

　　提示：

　　此话题属于“事件”类话题。话题范围较广泛，可以描述很多活动。如外出骑行、做运动、游泳、去公园散步划船、徒步旅行等等。简要描述此次活动的时间、地点、人物等，最后讲一下为什么花费少，大概在一个什么程度，你的感想等等。

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　I remember it was an early summer day, I went out cycling with my friend around central Shanghai, yes, you heard that right, the downtown area. We came up with this idea because there are a number of old beautiful streets and alleys hiding in the center of Shanghai, and we decided to find them out. So we rode on shared bikes and started our exploration. The traffic in downtown area was really terrible but as long as you managed to go through it, you will encounter some nice quiet alleys interwoven by longtangs (lanes). We took many photos of the alleys, the old buildings and the typical firmiana.

　　The day trip didn’t cost a penny instead of one yuan to rent a shared bike. And we were able to enjoy some peaceful places that tourists seldom come to in such a tourist destination like Shanghai. It was a nice day.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①alley： 名词；小巷，小路，小径

　　Eg：We live in the same alley.

　　 

　　②as long as: 词组；只要

　　Eg：It was a sound that I will never forget, as long as I live.

　　 

　　③interweave: 动词；交织，混杂

　　Eg：All these plot lines interweave and tauten right up to the unbearable romantic tension of the climax.

　　 

　　④ tourist destination: 词组；旅游胜地

　　Eg：The thing about New Orleans is that it was not just a tourist destination.

　　 

　　Part 3题目

　　 

　　1. Would you say that you are a person who tends to spend much money?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　I don’t think so. I would go shopping quite often but I won’t spend much money buying something I don’t need. Most of the time I just spend money on daily necessities. On the other hand, even if I’d like to spend a fortune, there’s little disposable income for me to fritter.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①necessity： 名词；必需品，需要

　　Eg：As the company grew and eventually outgrew my loft, child care became a necessity.

　　 

　　②disposable income: 词组；可支配收入

　　Eg：With less disposable income, consumers will spend less and the economy would likely mute.

　　 

　　2. Can you comment on the phenomena that some people enjoy going abroad to shop?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　On one hand, it’s because of the price margin. High tariffs are placed on imported items such as luxuries and cosmetics, so the price of these goods can be much higher than that abroad. That’s why some people prefer to shop abroad. On the other hand, with the increase of disposable income, travelling abroad is getting more and more popular among Chinese people, so why not enjoy shopping while travelling?

　　 

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①tariff： 名词；关税

　　Eg：The deal gives the U.S. five years to phase out a 2.5% tariff on Korean cars.

　　 

　　②cosmetics： 名词；化妆品

　　Eg：He is also trying to sell fish skin, which contains collagen, to cosmetics makers.

　　 

　　3. What are the most enjoyable activities for you to do when go out with your friends?

　　 

　　参考答案：

　　I think as long as I can be with my friends everything can be fun. It is not what we do that matters, it is whom we are with. But if I have to say I guess it would be to go travelling with my friends as we can enjoy the beautiful scenery, trying some authentic local food, and taking photos together, that’d be superb.

　　 

　　重点词汇及表达：

　　①authentic： 形容词；真正的，正宗的

　　Eg：Those stories should also show the true you in a memorable and authentic way.

　　 

　　②superb: 形容词；极好的

　　Eg：Kings Park is also a superb place to see Perth in an indigenous context.

　　解题思路：

　　本题为表格的动态图。一般表格的数字较多，在描述的时候要注意根据数值特点进行分类描述。这道题可以按照国家石油的产量特点进行分类描写，Nigeria和Congo-Brazzaville这两个国家产量较大，可以在一段里来写，而Chad和Cote d’ivoire石油产量较小，可以放在一起来写。

　　 

　　 

　　参考范文：

　　The table illustrates the amount of oil produced in four different African countries between 2000 and 2004, which is measured in barrels per day.

　　 

　　Generally speaking, Nigeria saw an overwhelming production capacity of oil, which was followed by Congo-Brazzaville, whereas Chad and Cote d’ivoire were relatively weaker in terms of the oil production ability.

　　 

　　In Nigeria, the daily oil production in 2000 was 200,000 barrels, and since then, it fluctuated, with the lowest point at 180,000 in 2002 and the highest level at 230,000 in 2004. Unlike the Nigeria, Congo-Brazzaville experienced a consistent decrease trend, from 27,500 barrels per day in 2000 to 20,500 barrels per day in 2004.

　　 

　　Compared with Nigeria and Congo-Brazzaville, Cote d’ivoire had smaller figures for the oil production during the given period. In 2000, this country produced 7,000 barrels per day and one year later, the figure dropped to its lowest amount of 6,000. After the year of 2001, the oil production gradually increased and peaked at 20,000 in 2004. Chad is an interesting case where the output of oil remained at zero for three years from 2000 to 2002 before it sharply went up to 50,000 by 2003.   

　　 

　　重点表达：

　　①overwhelming: adj.   压倒性的

　　②in terms of …: 在……方面

　　③consistent: adj. 持续的

　　④peak at: 峰值为……

　　A类大作文：

　　题目：Some people think that children should take formal learning at school as young as possible. While others think children should not study at school until at least 7 years old. Discuss both views, and give your own opinion.

　　题型：双边讨论

　　 

　　话题：教育类

　　 

　　解题思路：本周写作主题依旧是教育问题。随着“成名要趁早”的论调走遍大江南北，加之各类媒体上频繁出现的“少年天才”，有些人便有了“上学要越早越好”的论断；但支持传统教育模式的一方仍然认为孩子到了一定年龄才有资格入学。这两种说法都各有道理，论述时需要双边讨论，最后给出自己观点。

　　 

　　参考范文：

　　Education for children has never failed to be one of the most concerned topics among the public. Some people believe formal learning should begin early in childhood, but opponents advocate setting a minimum age limit of 7 years old for schooling. I tend to agree the latter one, but there need to be special permission for a few talented children.

　　 

　　In formal schooling, children learn subjects in an academic and serious way, and it is the teachers who set learning goals and govern teaching process. Some parents believe this is the best approach for learning. If their children stay at home or in kindergartens where playing games is the main theme of the day, they will waste valuable time and energy on useless things and learn nothing. After all, going to school early also means early graduation, so children can have more time and opportunities for their future career.

　　 

　　Nevertheless, the other side points out that those who believe in early academic training make a fundamental error: they fail to recognise that there are different levels of understanding. For example, learning to identify numbers and letters is far different from learning to perform mathematical operations and to read with understanding. Besides, young children are more adaptable to contextualised learning, which mainly involves activities and conversations with parents and playmates, and children enjoy developing their skills and understanding by such guided experiences. While in schools, errors are always regarded as a failure, so children can easily become frustrated and even daunted when they are stuck in school before fully prepared. Therefore, a formal learning program may even hinder children’s learning interests and potential if the time is inappropriate.

　　 

　　As far as I am concerned, most children should commence formal schooling after the minimum age limit, since it takes time for mental development and self-control. Of course, for some of the intellectually or academically gifted young genius, early education is advisable, but generally speaking, starting school earlier might not always result in long term gains.

　　 

　　 

　　重点表达：

　　①opponent: n.   反对方

　　②approach: n.   方式，方法

　　③fundamental error   根源性错误

　　④contextualised learning   语境学习，情景学习

　　⑤commence: v.   开始

　　⑥intellectually gifted   智力超常的

　　⑦academically gifted   有学术天赋的
