【口語】題目來源:Part 1
題目:
1. How often do you look at the sky?
2. Do you prefer the sky in the morning or the sky at night?
3. Can you see the moon and stars where you live?
4. Is there a good place to look at the sky where you live?
思路分析:
Sky這個話題是在前幾年的考試當中出現(xiàn)過,此次在2019年最新的part1話題中再次出現(xiàn)了。同學們在回答此類型話題的時候面臨的的問題是沒有拓展的思路,因為同學現(xiàn)實生活中其實很少有watch the sky的機會或者習慣。對于缺乏思路的同學來說,我們不妨回顧下往年這個話題的其他問題。除了此次試題當中出現(xiàn)的幾個題目以外,同類型的Part 1話題還有:
· What do you think about when you look at the sky?
· Are there often clouds in the sky in your country?
· Is the sky often overcast?
· Is star-gazing popular in your country?
通過觀察上面的題目我們不難發(fā)現(xiàn),其實sky類型的話題和Weather(天氣)/star-gazing(觀星)這兩個方面都有一定的聯(lián)系,所以在我們回答為什么要仰望天空或者喜歡白天還是晚上的天空的時候,我們不妨往這兩個方面去拓展下我們的思路,為我們的回答提供邏輯基礎。同時,watch the sky 也不失為一種很好的緩解壓力和疲勞的手段,也可以為我們拓展話題提供不錯的邏輯基礎。
比如說,當被問到 how often do you watch the sky的時候,我們可以說有時候喜歡看天空,因為看天空能夠為我們緩解工作或者學習帶來的壓力。最后需要補充一個背景知識:light pollution(光害),或稱光污染(light pollution),是人類過度使用照明系統(tǒng)而產生的問題。最顯而易見的影響是城市夜空里的星星被眾多大廈的燈光所覆蓋而消失了。這使得觀察宇宙的研究受到影響,而且亦破壞了生態(tài)平衡。
參考答案:
1. How often do you look at the sky?
well, I look at the sky almost everyday. I like doing that because I enjoying watching the clouds. Watching the clouds is a great way to release pressure and relax my eyes. So…Yeah, I like looking at the sky.
2. Do you prefer the sky in the morning or the sky at night?
Actually, Both. I like watching sun rise in the morning, which is super exciting, and gazing the stars at night, which is fascinating. so I don’t really have a preference.
3. Can you see the moon and stars where you live?
Yeah, definitely. My city is kind of small, so we don’t have a lot of light pollutions, and that’s why we usually can see the moon and stars in my city.
4. Is there a good place to look at the sky where you live?
yes, of course. My city has many spots where you can get a good look at the starry sky. For example, the Dian lake, the West Mountain and World Expo. Park. So…Yeah…
詞匯和短語:
Gaze 凝視
Release 釋放
Pressure 壓力
Actually 事實上來說
Starry 充滿星光的
Get a good look at something好好看看某物
the Dian lake 滇池
the West Mountain 西山
World Expo. Park. 世博園

考試原文:
Mammoth Kill
Mammoth is any species of the extinct genus Mammuthus, proboscideans commonly equipped with long, curved tusks and, in northern species, a covering of long hair. They lived from the Pliocene epoch from around 5 million years ago, into the Holocene at about 4,500 years ago, and were members of the family Elephantidae, which contains, along with mammoths, the two genera of modern elephants and their ancestors.
A Like their modern relatives, mammoths were quite large. The largest known species reached heights in the region of 4m at the shoulder and weights up to 8 tonnes, while exceptionally large males may have exceeded 12 tonnes. However, most species of mammoth were only about as large as a modern Asian elephant. Both sexes boretusks. A first, small set appeared at about the age of six months and these were replaced at about 18 months by the permanent set. Growth of the permanent set was at a rate of about 1 to 6 inches per year. Based on studies of their close relatives, the modern elephants, mammoths probably had a gestation period of 22 months, resulting in a single calf being born. Their social structure was probably the same as that of African and Asian elephants, with females living in herds headed by a matriarch, whilst bulls lived solitary lives or formed loose groups after sexual maturity.
B MEXICO CITY-Although it's hard to imagine in this age of urban sprawl and automobiles. North America once belonged to mam moths, camels, ground sloths as large as cows, bear-size beavers and other formidable beasts. Some 11,000 years ago, however, these large bodied mammals and others-about 70 species in all-disappeared. Their demise coincided roughly with the arrival of humans in the New World and dramatic climatic change-factors that have inspired several theories about the die-off. Yet despite decades of scientific investigation, the exact cause remains a mystery. Now new findings offer support to one of these controversial hypotheses: that human hunting drove this megafaunal menagerie to extinction. The overkill model emerged in the 1960s, when it was put forth by Paul S. Martin of the University of Arizona. Since then, critics have charged that no evidence exists to support the idea that the first Americans hunted to the extent necessary to cause these extinctions. But at the annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Mexico City last October, paleoecologist John Alroy of the University of California at Santa Barbara argued that, in fact, hunting-driven extinction is not only plausible, it was unavoidable. He has determined, using a computer simulation, that even a very modest amount of hunting would have wiped these animals out.
C Assuming an initial human population of 100 people that grew no more than 2 percent annually, Alroy determined that if each band of, say, 50 people killed 15 to 20 large mammals a year, humans could have eliminated the animal populations within I, 000 years. Large mammals in particular would have been vulnerable to the pressure because they have longer gestation periods than smaller mammals and their young require extended care.
D Not everyone agrees with Alroy's assessment. For one, the results depend in part on population-size estimates for the extinct animals-figures that are not necessarily reliable. But a more specific criticism comes from mammalogist Ross D.E.MacPhee of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, who points out that the relevant archaeological record contains barely a dozen examples of stone points embedded in mammoth bones (and none, it should be noted, are known from other megafaunal remains)-hardly what one might expect if hunting drove these animals to extinction. Furthermore, some of these species had huge ranges-the giant Jefferson's ground sloth, for example, lived as far north as the Yukon and as far south as Mexico-which would have made slaughtering them in numbers sufficient to cause their extinction rather implausible, he says.
E MacPhee agrees that humans most likely brought about these extinctions (as well as others around the world that coincided with human arrival), but not directly. Rather he suggests that people may have introduced hyperlethal disease, perhaps through their dogs or hitchhiking vermin, which then spread wildly among the immunologically naive species of the New World. As in the overkill model, populations of large mammals would have a harder time recovering. Repeated outbreaks of a hyperdisease could thus quickly drive them to the point of no return. So far MacPhee does not have empirical evidence for the hyperdisease hypothesis, and it won't be easy to come by: hyperlethal disease would kill far too quickly to leave its signature on the bones themselves. But he hopes that analyses of tissue and DNA from the last mammoths to perish will eventually reveal murderous microbes.
F The third explanation for what brought on this North American extinction does not involve human beings. Instead its proponents blame the loss on the weather. The Pleistocene epoch witnessed considerable climatic instability, explains paleontologist Russell W.Graham of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. As a result, certain habitats disappeared, and species that had once formed communities split apart. For some animals, this change brought opportunity. For much of the megafauna, however, the increasingly homogeneous environment left them with shrinking geographical ranges-a death sentence for large animals, which need large ranges. Although these creatures managed to maintain viable populations through most of the Pleistocene, the final major fluctuation-the so- called Younger Dryas event-pushed them over the edge, Graham says. For his part, Alroy is convinced that human hunters demolished the titans of the lce Age. The overkill model explains everything the disease and climate scenarios explain, he asserts, and makes accurate predictions about which species would eventually go extinct. "Personally, I'm a vegetarian," he remarks, "and I find all of this kind of gross-but believable."

【寫作】TASK 1
題目:男女在公共機構(government institution)和私人機構(private institution)的每周工作時長
類型:餅圖靜態(tài)圖
考點/寫作要點:
分段:主體一段:government(國企)男女工作時間;
主體二段:private company(私企)男女工作時間;
主體三段:男女工作時間總對比.
注意單詞的改寫 ,如government employees=official workers=officials
關注各圖中的極值,要注意使用級,以及句型的變換。如:
a. For male working hour in the government, the highest one (accounts for) 30%, which is working over 46 hours per week.
b. 3% of male officials work over 46 hours every week, and it constitutes the highest percentage of weekly working hours.
關注題目中相似的值,如國企里女性工作13-30hrs和31-45hrs的時長相同;
在主題三段男女分別作比較時,可以關注差距/倍數/分數/相似。例如在國企,男性工作每周工作時長1~2小時的有23%,大約是私企的四倍(5%);在國企,女性每周工作時長1~2小時的有36%,正好是私企的兩倍。
范文:
The four charts provide information about five different weekly working hours in two social sectors: government and private corporation, based on gender.
In government, 30% of male officials work over 46 hours every week, and it constitutes the highest percentage of male weekly working hours. Only 9% of male employees work between 13-30 hours. Also, it is noticeable that both 23% of them work for 1-2 hours and 6-12 hours. As for females, the highest percentage accounts for 35%, which is working between 6-12 hours weekly. However, only 4% of female officials weekly working time is above 46 hours. The other three kinds of working hours are similar (1-2hours, 13-30 hours, 31-4 hours), account for 18%, 23% and 20% respectively.
In private sector, the highest male working hours is over 46 hours, takes up of 34%. It is worth pointing out that only 5% of male workers work for 1-2 hours. For those working between 6-45 hours, the proportions all take up around 20%. As for females, the highest working hour is 6-12 (35%), and the lowest one is above 46 (4%). Similarly, the other proportions are around 20%.
Overall, the average working hours for male employees in both sectors are over 46 hours, followed an average number of by 6-12hours.

范文:
While the price of real estate is rocketing in metropolitan cities in recent decades, the living space for city dwellers is drastically squeezed. This situation does not only mean the square meter of their home, but also refer to the outdoor public space and commercial buildings they are allowed to utilize.
City residents need space to do outdoor activities. They need to walk their dogs, do exercises, or play with their little children. Equipped with some sports facilities, these places can serve a role of encouraging physical activities and healthy lifestyles. Public open space also facilitates local residents to meet their neighbors and feel to be included in a community. This sense of belonging can be vital for the establishment of a healthy and safe cohesive community. Open areas are the most significant for children. Especially for those children with no siblings, the public ground around their home is the place where they regularly socialize with their peers in their neighborhood.
Of course, plazas, gardens and parks occupy land, posing a real challenge for metropolis planners, who have to balance between the growing demand for residence as well as commercial buildings and recreational infrastructures. Furthermore, the size of such facilities should also be under scrutiny. A large civic central square does not actually serve a better function for local residents than a smaller one around home because the distance travelled between would be long, and this inconvenience can discourage people from regular participation. Imagine the Tiananmen Square, not in Beijing but in a town with small population in a regional area. Would it serve its best to local people?
Therefore, here is my conclusion that citizens deserve large commercial shopping centres for recreational purposes. In the meantime, small sporting facilities ought to be established outside each residential quarter.
