Part I Writing (參考范文 ) How to Solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic With the population explosion, the traffic in cities bees heavier and heavier. People find it difficult to get to where they are heading for. In addition, they are more likely to be stuck somewhere in a traffic jam and even get involved in a traffic accident. To solve the problem, there might be two solutions. The first one is to build more roads. By doing so, we can lower the degree of crowdedness in the streets and speed up the flow of traffic. But more roads will take up too much land. The second solution is to open up more bus lines. As a result, the number of bicycles and cars will be cut down. Unfortunately, it also has a drawback: it will bring inconvenience to those who live or work far away from bus routes. In fact, the best solution as I see it is to adopt both solutions at the same time because either has its advantages and disadvantages. Only in this way can we efficiently solve the problem of heavy traffic. 評(píng)析: 本文結(jié)構(gòu)清晰,中心突出。第一 段開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山,運(yùn)用主題句,提出本文要解決的問(wèn)題, 然后又具體說(shuō)明解決問(wèn)題的方法。第二段直接提出兩個(gè)解決方案說(shuō)明解決交通可以從兩發(fā)面進(jìn)行,最后一段總的提出最好的解決辦法。 Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) Y. 本題主要考查考生對(duì)詞匯的理解。文章的第一段中出現(xiàn)了 “…life without stress would be dull and unexciting.”和 “…too much stress can seriou sly affect your physical and mental wellbeing。 ”其中, dull and unexciting 對(duì)應(yīng)題中的 uninteresting。 physical and mental wellbeing 對(duì)應(yīng) physically and psychologically。 Y. 本題對(duì)應(yīng)文章第一段中的 “A major challenge in today39。s stressfilled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.”句子的意思是 “在當(dāng)今充滿壓力的世界中,你面對(duì)的一個(gè)主要挑戰(zhàn)是如何把生活的壓力變成對(duì)你有利的因素,而非不利的因素。 ”題目的意思是 “在當(dāng)今充滿壓力的世界中,我們應(yīng)該把握住生活的壓力,而不是被它左右。 ”題目和原句表述一致。考生可以根據(jù)分解對(duì)應(yīng)的技巧,將題目分解對(duì)應(yīng),也可以完全與原文句對(duì)應(yīng)。 N. 作者在第一段中寫(xiě)到 :“Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness, …” 依次可判斷,本題的因果關(guān)系倒置,故為錯(cuò)。 NY. 文中提到 “If the stresscausing conditions continue, your body will need time to make repairs,…” ,但未明確具體的時(shí)間量,所以題中的 2 到 3 天是文章沒(méi)有的信息。 Y. 本題是對(duì)文章中的 “While it’s impossible to live pletely free of stress and distress, it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize its impact when it can’t be avoided.”所做的 paraphrase。平時(shí)加強(qiáng)這方面的練習(xí),有助于解答此類(lèi)題目。 N. 本題是推斷題??忌⒁庠谧詈笠粋€(gè) relaxation technique 里,作者用到的 begin, toes, finish, facial muscles等詞,說(shuō)明 progressive指的是從下到上的順序,而不是增加 活動(dòng)肌肉的強(qiáng)度。 NG. 本題是概括題。文章中在減輕生活中的壓力上,提出 “Try Physical Activity, Share Your Stress, Take Care of Yourself, Make Time for Yourself, Make a List of the Things You Need to Do, Go ahead and Cry, Create a Quiet Scene, Avoid SelfMedication, Relax”, 但沒(méi)有給出壓力大需要 去住院的建議。 at least a half hour。在文中小標(biāo)題 “Make Time for Yourself” 段中,可以找到 “Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.”??忌鷳?yīng)該知道題中的 set aside 與原句中的 allow 都是 “留出 ”的意思。 to learn how to relax。在文中小標(biāo)題 “Relax” 段中,可以找到 “The best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax.”。句中有對(duì)應(yīng)信息。 to be calmer, healthier and happier。從文中的結(jié)尾句 “The result is, you will be calmer, healthier and happier.”可以反推出減少壓力和郁悶的目的。 Part III Listening Comprehension : I think the reason Mary didn’t apply was she was afraid of being rejected. W: I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. Q: What does the woman mean? 答案 : C 解析:短語(yǔ)題。 “hit the nail on the head”是 “猜中 ”的意思,所以選項(xiàng)中的 hit, nail, head 都是干擾項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng) D 里有我們聽(tīng)到的 rejected, 但正確的選項(xiàng)中往往不會(huì)出現(xiàn)我們聽(tīng)到的 詞。 12. W: Dear, I feel hungry now. How about you? M: So do I. Let me call room service. Hello, room service. Please send a menu to 518 at once. Q: Where does the conversation probably take place? 答案: D 解析: hungry 和 menu 很容易誘使考生錯(cuò)選 “在餐廳 ”和 “在餐桌 ”;而這個(gè)對(duì)話中 room service (在客房部 )暗示說(shuō)話人在 hotel 里。 13. M: Don’t you think this candle light dinner is very romantic? W: Sure, at least I don’t have to look at the food. Q: What does the wom
