　　PART1部分

　　01

　　Pen or pencil

　　(1)When was the last time that you bought a pen or pencil?

　　Oh, let me think… Actually, I remember quite clearly. It was towards the end of last summer. I wanted to do some sketching, you know, some drawing. It was a really nice summer and I had been watching this animation where a young girl sits out in the countryside and draws pictures of nature – landscape drawing, really. So I decided I would do something similar. I went to the art shops near to the art museum and bought a set of pencils. A really nice set, actually, and some special paper.

　　分析：关于pen和pencil，话题本身的难度并不大，考生如果感觉棘手，可能是觉得实在不知道铅笔钢笔有什么内容能拓展的，铅笔和钢笔难道不就是买来用于写字的?!那建议大家可以参考答案的思路，答案给我们提供了一个很好的答题角度——买铅笔是为了完成素描作品。

　　加分词汇：sketching 素描 ;animation 动画片;a set of pencils 一套铅笔;

　　(2)Do you usually use a pen or pencil?

　　I usually use a pen, because I am a student and most of the time I make notes in lectures with a pen and paper. Of course, at home I do all my assignments on a computer, so most of the time I only use a pen for making notes. I still enjoy making notes with a pen and paper and I think it’s an important part of the brainstorm process too. I recommend to anyone studying that before they actually start writing an essay, it’s a good idea to get a pen and a sheet of paper and make a mind map to generate and categorise ideas.

　　分析：不管你是学生还是上班族，生活中能用到铅笔或者钢笔的机会都不算多，毕竟各种高科技产品的推陈出新已经完美替代了传统书写工具。不过可能大家在做笔记的时候，铅笔还是会更方便一些。

　　加分词汇：make a mind map 制作思维导图

　　02

　　Science

　　(1)Did you learn science in primary school?

　　Yes, we all have science lessons in China, in primary school. We learn the basics of how the planet earth works, a bit of physics and geography, a bit of biology and chemistry. Things like this.In fact, I really liked studying science, I found it exciting to gain an understanding how things worked, like why wheels move around, and how the water in a bathtub spins around in one direction as it goes down the plug hole, or why water boils at less than 100 degrees C when on top of a very high mountain! I love all these little scientific facts and learning the reasons behind why things do what they do! I think it’s also very good for children – it teaches them cause and effect logic as well, which is a useful mental skills that beused in other studies as well.

　　分析：本题除了回答小学阶段是否学习Science，还回答了自己喜欢学习Science的原因。答案中依次提到物理，地理，生物和化学，关于这几个学科名称大家要掌握熟练，听力考试也会经常考到这类场景词汇。

　　(2) Do students still learn science when they are in high school?

　　Yes, sure, but in high school you can choose subjects so you choose usually one or two science subjects. I was never very good at maths so I chose biology only. But some students who want to go onto study science or science-related subjects choose two or three science subjects in high school. So, yes, students do still learn science but they have a certain element of choice as to which subjects to choose to continue to study at high school level.

　　分析：目前在中国，高中阶段还是实行文理分科，因此选择理科的学生就可以学生物，物理，化学这些理科科目。

　　加分词汇：have a certain element ofchoice 有一定的选择权 as to至于，关于

　　(3)Is there any technology that you think is helpful in daily life?

　　Sure, computers, smartphones… these are the main types of technology that are most widely used today. In fact, they are indispensable – we couldn’t live our daily lives or work without them. They are not just ‘helpful’, but in many cases they are absolutely necessary to communicate and get work done, and even complete financial transactions and all sorts of stuff. So, there was a time, maybe over ten years ago now, when information technology helped us do things, yes, but now, this kind of technology is absolutely essential for us to get almost everything done!

　　分析：这道题的答案一定是肯定的，毕竟高科技产品在我们的生活中越来越重要。就像答案提到的那样，十年前信息技术只是帮助我们做事，但现在这类技术的发展完全可以替代人力。

　　加分词汇：indispensable不可或缺的，必不可少的

　　PART2&PART3 部分

　　03

　　难度系数：★★★新旧情况：旧题改编

　　分析：本题难度不大，毕竟大家在学生时代一定会有这种和别人一起合作完成某个项目的经历。在答题过程中，大家要记住把项目内容和你自己扮演的角色表述清楚。大家要注意答案结尾处关于“我的感受”这一部分内容的表达，很有通用性，可以用在自己的故事中。

　　I would like to talk about a time when I participated in a team project in history class. It was when I was in middle school. The teacher divided the class into several groups and set us the task of choosing an event, time or a period in history that we found interesting,then making a presentation about it. We had one week to prepare our presentations, in our free time outside class, and we were told to use pictures, images or any other visual aids or multimedia we wanted. My team consisted of me and three other girls. We chose the period of the Roman occupation of Britain, and we decided to talk about the time when the Romans were flourishing,when their societies in Britain were advanced, and their cities developed – at least for their time, the Roman civilization was the most advanced in the world.You see, the Romans were incredibly advanced for their time, in many ways. We talked about the Roman baths in the city of Bath, and the hot springs that the romans found there. I enjoyed working with the other team members and as a group we decided who would do what tasks to contribute. I was the best at art,so I drew pictures of the goddess of the hot springs and found facts, images and photos of the architectural design of the baths. My colleague, Liu Wei was really good at writing in an informative, engaging and amusing way, so he wrote the description of the building of the famous baths, and my other two colleagues did most of the research in the local library and online about the mythology surrounding the goddess and the hot springs. On the appointed day, we did the presentation in front of the class, and each took turns to talk about a different aspect of the roman baths. It was very well organised, informative and quite funny in places. I found it was a great success and the teacher was very happy with it, and the rest of the class seemed to find it entertaining. I also think that we learned about how to distribute the different tasks in a way that was fair and used each person’s personal talents and abilities to the maximum. We were also quite patient while preparing the presentation, even when we didn’t really agree upon certain things. So, I think these kind of projects are very useful for children to take part in, and an important part of education.

　　通用话题：Describe a time when you completed a project with others

　　Part 3 Questions:

　　Do you think it is important for children to have experience as part of a team?

　　Yes, I think it’s very important that children learn about teamwork and how to work with other people as a team –when we work in teams we learn the skills of cooperation, patience, listening to other ways of doing things and considering other people’s points of views and perspectives on how to do something. All of these skills are very important for their future life and getting along with others in society, as well as for working with others in adult life, in the working world.

　　分析：让孩子有和别人合作的经历对其成长其实是大有裨益的。在合作中，孩子可以学到很多沟通的技巧，学会忍耐，学会倾听。

　　What do you think is the most important quality to be a good team member?

　　A good team member is tolerant,patient, understanding of other people’s perspectives and opinions, but also able to clearly and honestly express their own opinions, with diplomacy when necessary.

　　分析：作为团队一分子，为了使团队更好地完成任务，每个人都应该扮演好自己的角色，满足一定的条件。

　　Would disagreement bring heavy impact to a team?

　　Disagreement shouldn’t really be a bad thing if it is expressed and handled maturely. There are ways to express disagreement politely and it’s best that team members learn to talk to others without losing respect even when we disagree. Sometimes, we must also bear in mind that people get passionate and expressive and sometimes their emotions come out too strongly – we must also try to be patient and understanding when others lose their patience or temper and try to deal with it diplomatically and calmly. If we deal with disagreement in a positive and constructive manner, it shouldn’t be a bad thing.

　　分析：团队成员之间有异议是很正常的事情，关键是看大家怎么处理不同的声音。每个人都是独立的个体，如果能把所有人完美地融合在一起才是最关键的事情。
