以下为本场考试部分新题解析：

 

Part 1

Paintings

 

What do you know about paintings?

 

参考答案：

I barely know anything. There are several kinds of paintings like oil painting and water colour painting, and that’s all I know.

Have you learned drawing before?

 

参考答案：

I used to draw some comics and sketches, but I’ve never learned drawing or painting in a systematical way. If I have a chance I’d love to learn it.

Is it important to hang pictures at home?

 

参考答案：

I think it’s quite personal. It depends on individuals whether to hang pictures or not and what pictures to hang. Pictures can serve as a good decoration, and famous pictures and paintings are precious collections.

 

What kind of paintings do you like?

 

参考答案：

To be specific, I like the paintings of Monet. Although I don’t know much about paintings, but Monnet’s works can always calm me down. I can feel the sense of beauty and tranquility from his paintings.

 

If someone wants to draw a picture of you, would you agree?

 

参考答案：

Yes, why not? It’s fun to see how I look like on canvas. And I would look very differently in different painting styles, that’d be interesting.

 

Part 2 & 3

Part 2题目

 

Describe an indoor or outdoor place where it was easy for you to study

You should say:

Where it is

When you go there

Who you go with

What you study there

Why you would study in this place.

 

提示：

本题要描述的是你觉得适合学习的一个地方（室内室外皆可）。话题很广泛，可以是图书馆，也可以是一个安静的咖啡厅，或者一个离家不远的公园等等。可以先描述下这个地方是哪儿，在怎样的时间你会去那儿，会和谁一起去，以及你会在那儿学些什么。最后可以谈一下感想，阐述下为什么觉得这个地方适合学习，它给了你怎样的感受等等。

 

参考答案：

When it comes to talking about a place I’d like to study, I think it must be the library in my university. It is a huge building with 8 floors, which was completed nearly 10 years ago. As it is located in the center of my campus, no matter where you are, you can get there quite easily.

 

I go there very often, nearly on a daily basis. Whenever I don’t have a class, I prefer to go there in the evening, but sometimes also in the morning or the afternoon. It quite depends. What I study there also depends on the assignments that I have to work on. When I finished all of the tasks, I tend to randomly pick a book from the shelf and start reading.

 

I usually go to the library by myself, because I believe study is quite a personal thing. I don’t like to talk with others or share the feelings after reading a book. But before the final week, I would go there with my friends, because I need their help to do the review.

 

I think the library is a perfect place to study. Firstly, it is relatively quiet. People consciously keep their voice down and slow their pace. There is no one to interrupt me. Secondly, it has a unique atmosphere. With thousands of books around, I feel most comfortable around books and quietness. The library is just like my second habitat.

 

重点词汇及表达：

①huge： 形容词；巨大的，庞大的

Eg：With his huge body, he overbore his opponent under him dead.

②on a daily basis: 词组；每天

Eg：I have to prepare for bad weather on a daily basis, so I wear biking clothes and change when I get to my destination.

 

③shelf: 名词；架子，书架

Eg：He took a book from the shelf.

 

④habitat: 名词；栖息地

Eg：So we keep putting them into zoos to protect them from poachers, as well as from habitat destruction.

 

 Part 3题目

 

1. Do you like to learn on your own or with others?

 

参考答案：

I’d like to study on my own, because I believe study is quite a personal thing. I don’t like to talk with others or share the feelings after reading a book. But before the final week, I would go there with my friends, because I need their help to do the review.

 

重点词汇及表达：

①on my own： 词组；靠自己

Eg: I started this health challenge on my own, but quickly realized it would be more fun with friends,

 

②personal: 形容词；个人的

Eg: You never allow personal problems to affect your performance.

 

2. Do you prefer to study at home or study in other places?

 

参考答案：

I prefer to study in the library, because it’s a perfect place for study. Firstly, it is very quiet. People consciously keep their voice down and slow their pace. There is no one to interrupt me. Secondly, it has a unique atmosphere. With thousands of books around, I feel most comfortable around books and quietness.

 

重点词汇及表达：

①consciously： 副词；自觉地

Eg: They do not consciously think of themselves as a class.

②interrupt: 动词；打断

Eg: Turkin tapped him on the shoulder. "Sorry to interrupt, Colonel."

 

3. What’s the difference between learning face-to-face with teachers and learning by yourself?

 

参考答案：

Comparing with learning face-to-face with teachers, independent learning is more student-driven. As a self-learner, they can simply focus on what they want to learn, and what skills they need to develop. However, face-to face study can provide the chance to communicate with teachers and get reasonable feedbacks from them.

 

重点词汇及表达：

①face-to-face: 副词；面对面地

Eg: She met the president face-to-face.

 

②reasonable: 形容词；合理的

Eg: It’s a perfectly reasonable decision.
