听力部分：

Sectoin 1

填空

1) 1957 2) railway worker 3) teacher

上面的读音很清楚

选择

4)blond hair 5) beautiful 6) funny 7) intelligent

虽然说了快了些，但总体上而言比较清晰

填空

8)1960 9) (实在记不得了) 10) one

只有最后的答案没直接出现，但通过it is the very first time i am the uncle可以得出

Section 2

填空

已记不全了，记得有of second hand, share books,

equipment等都是关于如何管理财务的，应该很简单，只是要注意听

Section 3

是关于两个学生作project的，其中有一处是听写人名，其它都陆续讲出，但有干扰项，

除了人名外，其它答案为：

Tittle: A College Tour

分工：designer & writer

拍摄内容：city overhead view, college close-up,还有一个实在记不住了

Interviewee: teacher

后面的选择：第一个是说这个人难以接近；第二个是因为季节关系，所以拍摄有难度；第三个是clear & informative

Section 4

是关于three field system的填空题，所有答案按顺序出来，除了最后一个是commuter 较难听出，其它都很容易

(三)

IELTS听力使用的试卷号为No.25。前七题主要针对一段男女对话，介绍女方的家人，要求考生听出该女生老爸抵英年份及其父母之职业，并选出符合其祖母外貌及性格特征的选项，够简单的吧？接下来的两题是典型的送分题-在听毕一段短对话后，在表格中填其中一男生之父移民英国的年份及其姐所生小孩子的数目。简单之至，可谓"一耳了然"，乐得我直张嘴笑。

However，下几题就不那么好对付了。该部分为学校教员讲给新生听的"financial advices"，不外乎是如何开源节流，使自己有限的货币实行价值最大化而已，其馊主意包括：不要一次性购买所有学校要求买的书籍或仪器，而是分清轻重缓急，重要的东西先买，或买二手货，或与同学分担(包括房租和交通费)。如遇困难或需帮助，可与学生会联系。这不禁让我联想起我的外教，她就喜欢将用过的饮料瓶整整齐齐地摆放在阳台上，达到一定规模后卖掉，还教导我们说这就是"环保意识"，但中国人却想百思不得其解：就这点小钱你也省呀？这可与富国公民的身份不符噢。恐怕这就是所谓的"culture shock"吧？大多考生此部分有一处未能听出，至少我有些许气馁。好在下一段话难度系数不大，使人做题情绪得以回升。一对艺术系的学生在商量如何录制一档录像节目，要求考生听出参加录制工作的人员姓名、职务分工(编剧、导演还是摄影)、片名(A College Tour)、拍摄景物、采访对象(如为何选择采访普通教师而非校长)、对作品质量的担忧何在以及下一次讨论的时间。该部分位于考卷的第五页和第六页的上半部分。此处出了听力部分乃至整个IELTS考试唯一的三道选择题。So far, so good. 最后一部分是一位女教授的lecture，关于英国历史上某一特定的土地轮作制度-Three Field System的历史沿革及发展轨迹。该部分的题目篇幅很大，为第七、第八页两面大纸。不过千万不要犯晕，这两大篇之上只需考生填十个左右的空。由于整个讲座的Outline已给出，在未听磁带之前，有好些空处已可大致猜出填空的内容，是数字抑是专有名词，是机构名抑或是人名，是数词(年代、数目)抑或是形容词。这样，可以有目的地去听(listen with purpose)，答案决不会轻易错过。雅思考试的友好之处由此可见一斑。在托福听力考试中，考生只能通过阅读题目及选项窥得录音文本的冰山一角，且好容易抢读到的选

项可能为极具误导性的错误选项。IELTS听力试题则大大方方地将整个讲话的summary呈现给考生，让人一方面大骂鬼子低估中国人的英文水平，一方面反复质疑：最后一部分是重头戏，咋会这般简单呢？总之，该部分不是整个听力考试的最难处。此外，该教授真的很nice，全文以缓慢清晰的英文念出，象幼稚园的阿姨给小朋友讲故事。我在心里默默祈祷明天的Interview考官也是这样一位慈祥的老太太。

数字方面，是次Listening Comprehension没有听写电话号码的题目，填写年份的题倒有好几道。总题数40道。

(五)

听力：version 29

Section1说两个学生讨论准备一个学生电台的事宜。一开始有四道选择题，答案靠得非常紧，而且不明显。技巧是一开始一定要好好把选项都看完。第一题是关于资金来源，他们没有来源，所以只好用自己的钱。选student fund。第二题是他们讨论的内容选who will be in the participate.第三题是怎样来选伙伴，有share the idea和give the record，我自己也不是很确定。第四题忘了，不过瞒容易的。然后接着是一个表格填充题，填一些每个人要做的工作和应完成的时间，答案包括以下一些: Dec, time planning,还有就是说话的两个人的名字可以在前面的选择题里找出来。

Section2开了个会，是会上的说明，一开始就是两个空格很简单，professor和teacher然后是一个关于开会时间地点和内容的表格有the ground floor, 3:10, Palm…之后是选择题，选项有fish(C), (C), contain all the cost (D)

Section3是一个海外留学生和他教授的谈话。一开始是选择题，有just complete her

study in her country (A),下一题选D内容忘了只记得A选项是reading ability，然后是单句填空，最后一个填interest。接下来问答题，问how often did she do the job in hospital in vacation? How many times did she do the part time job?还有一题答案是English language system.

还有一个Section是关于一帮墨西哥土人的历史建筑的事。因为实在太快我的答案如下仅供参考，一开始几个问答题。Live without tax,200years ago, castle和一个什么,然后是选择，最后是单句填空，有common houses

听力总体比较快，这次的section 1and 4比平时任何的雅思辅导听力教材都快。迅速读题很重要。另外有几个建筑方面的词汇拼不出来。原来想考8分的这次只好保6争7了。

口语：

只要把新东方的口语题目全看一遍就足够了。因为我语速快，那个考官问了我好多问题。但都很容易听懂，因为新东方的材料上都有，有印象，考官一说几个词我就知道题目了，所以显得我们之间的谈话很自然，没有什么冷场。

“Good afternoon I am John.”然后把录音机指向我，我就对着录音机笑着说，“I am xxx，

good afternoon.”整个过程我就当我是个大明星在接受采访。

问题如下：

1. Do you study or work?

Tell me sth about your study. How about your dormitory?

What’s your typical day? What do you do at weekends? Why do you think you just live for the weekend?

What’s your main food? I mean in China.

What do you like to eat best? Do you often eat alone or with others? Do you like western food?

2. Tell me sth about one of your friends.

和新东方题目以及further question都一样

2015年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析三

Time to cool it 1 REFRIGERATORS are the epitome of clunky technology： solid， reliable and just a little bit dull. They have not changed much over the past century， but then they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea--draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it， and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it. This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well when refrigerators' main jobs were preserving food and， as air conditioners， cooling buildings. Today's high-tech world， however， demands high-tech refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for something to replace them. 2 One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials. These act like batteries when they undergo a temperature change： attach electrodes to them and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra-red cameras. An array of tiny pieces of paraelectric material can sense the heat radiated by， for example， a person， and the pattern of the array's electrical outputs can then be used to construct an image. But until recently no one had bothered much with the inverse of this process. That inverse exists， however. Apply an appropriate current to a paraelectric material and it will cool down. 3 Someone who is looking at this inverse effect is Alex Mischenko， of Cambridge University. Using commercially available paraelectric film， he and his colleagues have generated temperature drops five times bigger than any previously recorded. That may be enough to change the phenomenon from a laboratory curiosity to something with commercial applications. 4 As to what those applications might be， Dr Mischenko is still a little hazy. He has， nevertheless， set up a company to pursue them. He foresees putting his discovery to use in more efficient domestic fridges and air conditioners. The real money， though， may be in cooling computers. 5 Gadgets containing microprocessors have been getting hotter for a long time. One consequence of Moore's Law， which describes the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 18 months， is that the amount of heat produced doubles as well. In fact， it more than doubles， because besides increasing in number，the components are getting faster. Heat is released every time a logical operation is performed inside a microprocessor， so the faster the processor is， the more heat it generates. Doubling the frequency quadruples the heat output. And the frequency has doubled a lot. The first Pentium chips sold by Dr Moore's company，Intel， in 1993， ran at 60m cycles a second. The Pentium 4--the last "single-core" desktop processor--clocked up 3.2 billion cycles a second. 6 Disposing of this heat is a big obstruction to further miniaturisation and higher speeds. The innards of a desktop computer commonly hit 80℃. At 85℃， they

Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief，continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in . Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter. B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia)， but in the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade， briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag，’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in ， though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years， European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty： the Maastricht treaty in 1992， the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997， the Treaty of Nice in . And in they were supposed to ratify a European constitution， laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted，not immobilised， by this setback. D. In the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty—the Treaty of Rome， its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously， restating their commitment to “ever closer union” and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself， and in normal circumstances， the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless， a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto

2019年12月17日雅思大作文真题及范文 Task：Some people think getting old is entirely bad, but other people do think it’s much better for old people to live now than in the past. Please show your idea with explanation, examples and your knowledge. Sample answer： It has become a common phenomenon for people in a number of countries to enjoy an increasing life expectancy. While some people believe it is horrible just to imagine getting old , I think the situation has completely changed comparing to decades ago and now elderly people can lead a happy life. In some cases, the seniors do experience empty nest syndrome because their children are away from home. However, things are different nowadays. There are numerous residential homes with trained carers in a country and they have become a perfect place for the elderly to stay after retirement, where the elderly will not feel lonely and bored with the company of their peers. Another concern for numerous senior citizens is the health problem. In the past, without advanced medical science, the seniors tend to suffer from various kinds of diseases, which decrease their quality of life at great extent. By contrast, the medical science is developing at an amazing speed and this trend can at least delay the onset of some chronic conditions and with healthy body, the elderly can enjoy happier lives.

Selling Digital Music without Copy-protection Makes Sense A. It was uncharacteristically low-key for the industry’s greatest showman. But the essay published this week by Steve Jobs， the boss of Apple，on his firm’s website under the unassuming title “Thoughts on Music” has nonetheless provoked a vigorous debate about the future of digital music，which Apple dominates with its iPod music-player and iTunes music-store. At issue is “digital rights management” (DRM)—the technology guarding downloaded music against theft. Since there is no common standard for DRM， it also has the side-effect that songs purchased for one type of music-player may not work on another. Apple’s DRM system， called FairPlay， is the most widespread. So it came as a surprise when Mr. Jobs called for DRM for digital music to be abolished. B. This is a change of tack for Apple. It has come under fire from European regulators who claim that its refusal to license FairPlay to other firms has “locked in” customers. Since music from the iTunes store cannot be played on non-iPod music-players (at least not without a lot of fiddling)， any iTunes buyer will be deterred from switching to a device made by a rival firm， such as Sony or Microsoft. When French lawmakers drafted a bill last year compelling Apple to open up FairPlay to rivals， the company warned of “state-sponsored piracy”. Only DRM， it implied， could keep the pirates at bay. C. This week Mr. Jobs gave another explanation for his former defence of DRM： the record companies made him do it. They would make their music available to the iTunes store only if Apple agreed to protect it using DRM. They can still withdraw their catalogues if the DRM system is compromised.

All DRM does is restrict consumer choice and provide a barrier to entry， says Mr Jobs； without it there would be far more stores and players， and far more innovation. So， he suggests， why not do away with DRM and sell music unprotected？“This is
