以下为本次考试部分题目解析:

 

Part 1

Cooking

Have you ever cooked?

 

参考答案:

Of course, and I’ve learned how to cook when I was a high school girl. Since then, I always cook for myself when my parents are busy.

 

Do you like cooking?

 

参考答案:

Yes, I’m really into cooking, and I think it’s an effective way to balance our diet and keep healthy. Recently I usually do some cooking during the weekends to enjoy healthy food with my parents.

 

Do you want to learn how to cook?

 

参考答案:

Not really, because I’ve already a master of cooking. As I’ve mentioned, I learned how to make fine food since I was little. So I’m quite confident about myself.

 

Is it difficult to cook Chinese food for you?

 

参考答案:

It’s hard to say, because there’re many kinds of Chinese cuisines as I know, such as Sichuan cuisine, Hangzhou cuisine and so on. As I was born and raised in Hefei, I’m only familiar with cooking our local food, which means the rest might be relatively difficult for me.

 

 

Part 2 & 3

Part 2题目

 

Describe an interesting job that you want to have in the future.

You should say:

What it is

How you can find this job

What qualities it requires

And explain why it is an interesting job.

 

提示:

本题需要描述一个将来想从事的一个有趣的工作。可以说的主题很多,建议大家选择自己熟悉的职业,为未必是自己真正喜欢和向往的职业,从而保证有话可说。

 

参考答案:

The interesting job that I want to have in the future is being a teacher, to be more specific, an English teacher, which generally tends to be one of the most essential and indispensable occupations in people’s life.

If I want to get this job, there’re must be several things I need to do before. First, a teacher’s license is essential, because it can definitely prove I can teach and I know how to teach. Then, a good resume is also significant for the job hunting, since it’s the only way to demonstrate yourself to the employers before you get a real interview.

Sure, I know, if I want to be an English teacher, it can never be an easy process. There’re many requirements in terms of English proficiency, teaching ability, personality and so on. In particular, English teachers are required to have excellent pronunciation and clear voice. As a leading role of an English class, teachers are usually followed by students who tend to imitate their teachers’ pronunciation and even the way of speaking. Besides, patience is also necessary. As we all know, language acquisition is a long-term process, so English teachers must be patient even if they have to repeat the same sentence for a million times.

 

Personally, many reasons make me believe that teaching English is an interesting job. Firstly, it is a possible way to get the sense of fulfillment. It must be great to see my own students make progress in English learning. Besides, the teaching process should also be interesting. Since students vary from person to person, which means teaching methods should meet their aptitude, and I think I’ll enjoy this challenging process.

 

重点词汇及表达:

indispensable 形容词;不可缺少的

EgShe was becoming indispensable to him.

 

resume: 名词;简历

EgDon't push for an interview on the spot, but rather explain that you want to let them know of your interest, drop off your resume, and complete an application while you're there if possible.

 

③fulfillment: 名词;满足感

EgHow can we attain fulfillment in this world?

 

method: 名词;方法

Part 3题目

 

1. What kinds of preparation should people do for a job interview?

 

参考答案:

I think a good resume is very important, since it’s a direct and effective way to demonstrate yourself to the employees. Besides, a clear voice and creative thinking are also required.

 

重点词汇及表达:

effective 形容词:有效的

Eg: The project looks at how we could be more effective in encouraging students to enter teacher training.

 

required: 形容词;必须的

Eg: According to traditions, the selectmen are required by law to perambulate the bounds every five years.

 

 

2. Why do some people keep changing their jobs?

 

参考答案:

【写作】

A类小作文:

 

题目:The diagram shows how an office building looks at present and the plan for its future development.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

  

解题思路:

这道地图题需要描写办公大楼当前和未来的变化比较,由图可知,前后的主要变化就是工作区域变大了,实现了工作区域的高效利用,在这类地图的描写时,要注意前后的时态,描写第一幅图用现在时,描写第二幅图用将来时。

 

 

参考范文:

The diagrams shows the current layout of an office building and some future changes to it. Overall, the most important change is that the working area will be enlarged to achieve high utilization of the building.

 

It can be clearly seen that at present, there are two pieces of lawn bedded on both sides of the building. The workplace is small with only four office rooms standing one by one in the south part. At the opposite side of the offices, some ancillary facilities such as a kitchen, canteen and a stock room can be found. The entrance and the WC are located at southeast corner, which may be inconvenient for the staff who work at the westernmost office.

 

In the future, the two grass lands will be converted into supporting facilities required by a workplace. Specifically, the western one will be rebuilt into an outside activity area, while the other will be turned into a place with a coffee bar and a WC at the north and a meeting area at the south. The original kitchen and canteen in the north are planned to be made into two office rooms. The entrance with reception will be relocated to the middle of two office rooms in the south. 

 

重点表达:

①layout:   n.布局

②ancillary facility:配套设施,辅助设施

westernmostadj.最西面的

relocate vt. 迁移

A类大作文:

题目:In many countries women are allowed to take maternity leave from their jobs during the first month after the birth of their babies. Do the advantages outweigh disadvantages?

 

题型:利弊权衡

 

话题:社会类

 

解题思路:本文讨论的问题是休产假是否合理。根据题目要求,写作时需要从advantagedisadvantage两方面进行论述,并给出最终结论。可从“个人”和“公司”两个角度分析优点(如保障员工健康、提高假后工作效率等)和缺点(工作被人顶替、造成职场录用歧视等),并对其中一方观点加以反驳或修正。

 

参考范文:

As the gender gap narrows, more females are wielding their power in the office. However, some new problems arises when it comes to the women’s traditional role as mothers. One of the most frequently debated issue is about the merits and demerits of maternity leave.

 

Some people believe a one-month period of rest brings benefits to both the newborns and mothers. Females need time to recover from a delivery, and babies ought to be meticulously attended to especially during the first few weeks. Besides, corporates will gain loyalty from their employees as the flexible working schedule makes those who take the leave feel they are respected and valued. So when mothers return to the workplace, they will engage in the career with high working morale and a satisfying health condition, which will for sure increase the productivity.

 

Nevertheless, there are some negative effects if the maternity leave is taken without clear regulations. Some women on maternity leave may get fired after a long period of vacancy, because their positions are substituted with someone else. Worse still, some corporates will not consider the candidates with pregnancy plans, thus causing a gender discrimination when hiring employees. That being the case, it is still regarded short-sighted to dismiss the female workers who take or will take maternity leave, since an experienced employee can bring more profits and inspire her colleagues to achieve more.

 

In conclusion, a maternity leave with reasonable length of time not only ensures a low rate of newborn mortality and sequel illness for mothers, but also improves employees’ productivity, morale and retention, all of which weighs heavier than the cost paid by companies during the period.

 

 

重点表达:

wield: v.   行使(权力等)

delivery: n.   分娩,生产

meticulously: adv.   细致入微地

morale: n.   士气,精神面貌

substituted: v.   替代
