All the houses with grey roofs and white walls were built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the front gate of each household is dotted with（点缀着）red Chinese knots and lanterns. All of them are outlined（映出轮廓）against the blue sky and reflected into the clear rivers, lakes and ponds, surrounded（环绕着）by dark green mountains. It’s a living water-ink picture.Step into a tea house to take a rest. A piece of classical music, played by guqin, fills up the house and floats into your hearts, as if you hear birds singing, pines（松）whistling and rivers flowing. You will be lost in a world, full of peace and pleasure. Holding the tea cup, you will find some lines of poems on its out layer（层）coming into your sight:No dust is rising on the road, wet with morning rain.The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.Walk out of the tea house, and go to the open-air theatre.

Along with its perfect performance, the background music which was played by the ancient instrument—Qin was also a highlight.One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the Chinese seven-string zither（弦）, also known as the guqin, one of the four arts—along with go, calligraphy and painting. It first appeared over 3, 000 years ago and represents China’s solo musical instrument tradition.At first, the guqin had only five strings, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Later, in the Zhou dynasty, King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son. King Wu of Zhou, added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.Ambience was important in playing the Chinese zither. Usually, it was practiced in quiet setting and never for public performance.Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains. The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes（回音）from the mountains, until the musician found himself at one with nature. Playing it in snow was also a favorite pastime for ancient artists, who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world. Also, a night with moonlight was considered ideal（理想的）for playing the guqin. Wang Wei（701—761）, a highly talented man of the Tang dynasty, liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.Guqin pieces are usually around three to eight minutes long, with the longest being Guangling Verse, which is 22 minutes long. Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements（《梅花三弄》）, Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank（《平沙落雁》）and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute（《胡笳十八拍》）.Now, there are fewer than one thousand well-trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters.

Chongqing and eastern Sichuan are the main birthplaces of the Chuanjiang Chants.In the age of wooden boat shipping for thousands of years, the power (动力) of wooden boats on the river came from the body of the boatmen. Whenever they headed up against the river or when the boat crossed a shoal, the boatmen had to pull together. Moreover, the long journey was boring and boatmen needed something to relax, and the Chuanjiang Chants came into being.Chuanjiang Chants are both technical and artistic. Boatmen control the direction of the boat just like a driver is responsible for that of a car. And chants are like the accelerator (油门) of a car, controlling the speed of the boat. Therefore, the chants can adjust (调整) the force of the boatmen through its rhythm, and the ship can move forward smoothly. At the same time, the chants are always sung in bright voice, a good tone, and a beautiful sound. Therefore, it is also an art.However, with the development and popularity of modern ships, Chuanjiang Chants are likely to be forgotten by people, facing an endangered situation. Our country paid great attention to the protection of it and it was included in the first batch (批) of national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) list.

But he is also big in a different way—he fights hard to protect China’s past. His real name is Feng Jicai and he has written many novels about life in China.Several years ago, however, he put down his pen for a while and began to protect the cultural relics（文化遗产）in Tianjin where he lived. Once someone asked him why he no longer wrote. He replied that at the moment he felt protecting cultural relics was more important.Feng loves his hometown. He believes that old things must be given a place next to new things, or people will soon forget their great past. He does not make speeches to get others to help him in his projects. Instead, he goesout and does what he can himself. If others follow him, so much the better. One of his biggest projects was to protect the oldest street in Tianjin. Along that street some shops had been in business for seven hundred years. Although the city government rebuilt this street, they did save its oldest building. Another project was more successful: he suggested the city government reserve（保留）some land in the centre of the city so it could not be sold for business. This area is very important for the history of Tianjin. It was here that the city was first builtduring the Song Dynasty Later many treasures were found here.To Feng, digging down into the earth is like reading a book page after page. Each dynasty found in the earth is like an interesting story. Not long ago, he and other writers and artists took photos of the old parts of Tianjin. The photos were put into a book which was very popular. The money from the book helps his projects. Once, an oldman asked Feng to sign a book for him, saying he would give it to his grandson who was not yet born.

According to local artisans（工匠）, the Weifang kite-making can date back to 2,000 years ago. At first, they were often used for measuring distances and communicating. During the Ming Dynasty（1368-1644）, kites started to be popular among ordinary people as entertainment. In 2006, the Weifang kite-making was included in the national-levelintangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）lists.Yang Hongwei, 56, was born in a kite-making family. Yang often saw kites with bright colors and different shapes in her grandfather’s workshop. “Every time I see these beautiful kites, my sadness and down feelings go away,” said Yang. Yang started to learn the skill from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practicing the skill for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.On Yang’s kites, people can see not only common styles like butterflies and swallows, but also some prints telling Chinese traditional stories, legends and history. For example, she once made a kite showing a phoenix head （凤头）lined with paintings of 50 famous women in Chinese history on each side. Though the idea was cool, the process was not easy. Yang said that each woman had different characters in appearance, clothing and the make up style. To create their images, she spent much effort and time checking historical records or discussing the details with experts.In her spare time, she also travels to different countries including Germany, Australia, the US and New Zealand to tell people about Chinese stories seen on kites and the traditional ways of making kites. “I’m an inheritor of the culture. It’s also one of my important jobs to spread the heritage around the world and onto the next generation（一代人）.” she said.23．According to the first paragraph, which one is true?A．The Weifang kite-making has a history of 3,000 years.B．Ancient people used kites to guide ways.

雅思口语话题：历史建筑

雅思口语话题：历史建筑雅思口语Part 2的话题大概分为四类：人物类、地点类、事件类以及物品类。

今天我们来看如何描述历史建筑。

文中会提到地道的英语词汇，还有如何地道的表达，一起来看看吧!雅思口语话题：历史建筑首先，告诉大家一个方法：无论是让你描述你曾经参观过的历史古迹，还是你所在城市的历史古迹，你可以只准备一个话题。

大家看着两个问题：Describe a historical building you have been to.Describe an important historical building in your city.Describe an important historical building that you know.这几个问题其实就是把一个问题换成了不同问法，其他地点类的话题也都是一样的，考生可以用一个答案回答所有问题，以不变应万变。

就像大家都知道的这个下联“一枝红杏出墙来“，它原来是对”春色满园关不住”的，但只要大脑转地快，”一枝红杏出墙来”可以对所有上联!例如：月落乌啼霜满天，一枝红杏出墙来。

待的山花烂漫时，一枝红杏出墙来。

关于这个历史古迹的话题，我选的是众所周知的建筑：长城。

(备注：文章最后有彩蛋!)选择描述长城的原因：第一，这个实在是太出名，老外几乎都知道，所以当考生一说它的名字时，考官的大脑中就会出现长城的画面，这样就算考生描述的不清楚时，也不会令考官感到一头雾水，心想这是哪个建筑呀。

第二，长城这个建筑还可以用来回答：描述一个不同寻常的建筑。

第三，长城的英文名字" The Great Wall"实在是太好记了!简单又生动!我自己对于岳阳楼，宁波天一阁和泉州东西塔这类历史古迹的英文名字记住后总是会忘记，而且考生说出名字来后外国人不知道的几率很大，这也就增大了考生描述的难度。

第四，在Part2 部分描述长城更容易在Part3部分中展开话题讨论。

雅思2016.3.5 复活节岛原文原题解析

Heading1.B段v。

先看一下首尾句，首句写Thor普及推广了一个观念，即是复活节岛曾经由来自南美的有更加文明的印第安人在那里定居。

尾句讲由于大量的鸟类，鱼类，植物和食物资源，人口增长，产生了丰富的宗教和艺术文明。

可以概括本段落围绕由人所导致了当时当地的大发展，rich religious and artistic culture 对应prosperity，Early immigrants对应originally settle2.D段ii。

首句: 学者无法解释这些石像的功用。

尾句: 岛上的Ahu平台是当时人们的圣所，那些石像是代表着作为那些圣所的仪式用的圣物。

两句在讲述同一件事，石像代表的含义。

优先考虑ii，Represent对应be charged，再快速阅读段落，symbols of authority and power对应symbols of combined purposes3.E段iii。

首句: 复活节岛又叫“世界中心”“仰望天堂之眼”。

尾句说这个测量标志曾经是一个复杂的天文观测网的一部分，用来预测未来的灾难的。

由于首句的两个比喻因此我们还需要去看下一句的解释，第二句说这个岛是一个被长期遗忘文明中的一个测量标志以及天文观测点，和尾句呼应。

优先考虑iii，明确的替换词在下一句significant scientific outpost对应scientific application，antediluvian civilization对应ancient spotsT/F/NG1.NG，定位词first inhabitants，Polynesian，Marquesas or Society islands，在B段第三句，原住民are of Polynesian stock玻里尼西亚人血统，很有可能来自Marquesas or Society islands。

但不能确定他们就是玻里尼西亚人，也没法确定就是来自Marquesas or Society islands，原文中表明不确定的观点时要仔细考虑2.T，定位词not finished，原文C段Another 600 moai statues, in various stages of completion，另外600座石像，处于不同的完成阶段，也就是有些没有完成3.F，定位词elsewhere in Polynesia，原文D段中原词重现，assumed that their carving anderection derived from an idea rooted in similar practices found elsewhere in Polynesia but which evolved in a unique way on Easter Island.雕刻技术源自于Polynesia其他地方某处的相似的技术，但是以一种独特的方式在复活节岛上发展起来。

托福阅读 27-1 Crafts in the Ancient Near East

TPO-27Crafts in the Ancient Near EastSome of the earliest human civilizations arose in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq, in the fourth millennium B.C.E. In the second half of the millennium, in the south around the city of Uruk, there was an enormous escalation in the area occupied by permanent settlements. A large part of that increase took place in Uruk itself, which became a real urban center surrounded by a set of secondary settlements. While population estimates are notoriously unreliable, scholars assume that Uruk inhabitants were able to support themselves from the agricultural production of the field surrounding the city, which could be reached with a daily commute. But Uruk’s dominant size in the entire region, far surpassing that of other settlements, indicates that it was a regional center and a true city. Indeed, it was the first city in human history.The vast majority of its population remained active in agriculture, even those people living within the city itself. But a small segment of the urban society started to specialize in nonagricultural tasks as a result of the city’s role as a regional center. Within the productive sector, there was a growth of a variety of specialist craftspeople. Early in the Uruk period, the use of undecorated utilitarian pottery was probably the result of specialized mass production. In an early fourth-millennium level of the Eanna archaeological site at Uruk, a pottery style appears that is most characteristic of this process, the so-called beveled-rim bowl. It is a rather shallow bowl that was crudely made in a mold; hence, in only a limited number of standard sizes. For some unknown reason, many were discarded, often still intact, and thousands have been found all over the Near East. The beveled-rim bowl is one of the most telling diagnostic finds for identifying an Uruk-period site. Of importance is the fact that it was produced rapidly in large amounts, most likely by specialists in a central location.A variety of documentation indicates that certain goods, once made by a family member as one of many duties, were later made by skilled artisans. Certain images depict groups of people, most likely women, involved in weaving textiles, an activity we know from later third-millennium texts to have been vital in the economy and to have been centrally administered. Also, a specialized metal-producing workshop may have been excavated in a small area at Uruk. It contained a number of channels lined by a sequence of holes, about 50 centimeters deep, all showing burn marks and filled with ashes. This has been interpreted as the remains of a workshop where molten metal was scooped up from the channel and poured into molds in the holes. Some type of mass production by specialists were involved here.Objects themselves suggest that they were the work of skilled professionals. In the late Uruk period(3500-3100 B.C.E.), there first appeared a type of object that remained characteristic for Mesopotamia throughout its entire history: the cylinder seal. This was a small cylinder, usually no more than 3 centimeters high and 2 centimeters in diameter, of shell, bone, faience (a glassy type of stoneware), or various types of stones, on which a scene was carved into the surface. When rolled over a soft material----primarily the clay of bullae (round seals), tablets, or clay lumps attached to boxes, jars, or door bolts----the scene would appear in relief, easily legible. The technological knowledge needed to carved it was far superior to that for stamp seals, which had happened in the early Neolithic period (approximately 10,000-5000 B.C.E.). From the first appearance of cylinder seals, the carved scenes could be highly elaborate and refined, indicating the work of specialist stone-cutters. Similarly, the late Uruk period shows the first monumental art, relief, and statuary in the round, made with a degree of mastery that only a professional could have produced.Paragraph 1: Some of the earliest human civilizations arose in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq, in the fourth millennium B.C.E. In the second half of the millennium, in the south around the city of Uruk, there was an enormous escalation in the area occupied by permanent settlements. A large part of that increase took place in Uruk itself, which became a real urban center surrounded by a set of secondary settlements. While population estimates are notoriously unreliable, scholars assume that Uruk inhabitants were able to support themselves from the agricultural production of the field surrounding the city, which could be reached with a daily commute. But Uruk’s dominant size in the entire region, far surpassing that of other settlements, indicates that it was a regional center and a true city. Indeed, it was the first city in human history.1.which of the sentences below best express the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.O Although scholars cannot accurately determine the size of the Uruk population, they know the citizens were not dependent on agriculture.O scholars do not have enough evidence to determine whether the agriculture areas just outside of Uruk were large enough to feed the city’s population.O Because city populations cannot feed themselves, scholars think the surrounding farms provided food to the people in Uruk.O Scholars believe that the inhabitants of Uruk were able to support themselves from product grown in field surrounding the city.2.The word “surpassing” in the passage is closest in meaning toO proceedingO exceedingO challengingO outlasting3.According to paragraph 1, all of the following are true of the ancient settlement at Uruk EXCEPT:O It was a permanent settlement.O It was self-sufficient.O It was one of a group of other larger settlements.O It had easy access to the land where its crops were grown.Paragraph 2: The vast majority of its population remained active in agriculture, even those people living within the city itself.

Of importance is the fact that it was produced rapidly in large amounts, most likely by specialists in a central location.4. The word “intact” in the passage is closest in meaning toO unsoldO unusedO undamagedO unpainted5. According to paragraph 2, which of the following best describes the beveled-rim bowls from the Eanna Archaeological site at Uruk.O They were discarded because they became unpopular.O They varied greatly in shape and decoration.O They were each individually styled.O They were made in only a few sizes.6.Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2 about craft production in theUruk period?O Specialists in nonagricultural tasks obtained a higher status than those engaged in agricultural production.O People not needed for framing could perform other more specialized activities.O Ancient crafts were beginning to be produced for both utilitarian and decorative purposes.O Pottery making was the only known during the fourth millennium.Paragraph 3: A variety of documentation indicates that certain goods, once made by a family member as one of many duties, were later made by skilled artisans.

The word “interpreted” in the passage is closest in meaning toO documentedO debatedO displayedO understood9. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?O To contrast the productivity of crafts workers in the third and fourth millenniaO To provide additional evidence of mass production by crafts workersO To suggest that an early form of urban settlement may have exist before UrukO To contrast the development of weaving and pottery in UrukParagraph 4: Objects themselves suggest that they were the work of skilled professionals. In the late Uruk period(3500-3100 B.C.E.), there first appeared a type of object that remained characteristic for Mesopotamia throughout its entire history: the cylinder seal. ■This was a small cylinder, usually no more than 3 centimeters high and 2 centimeters in diameter, of shell, bone, faience (a glassy type of stoneware), or various types of stones, on which a scene was carved into the surface. ■When rolled over a soft material----primarily the clay of bullae (round seals), tablets, or clay lumps attached to boxes, jars, or door bolts----the scene would appear in relief, easily legible. ■The technological knowledge needed to carved it was far superior to that for stamp seals, which had happened in the early Neolithic period (approximately 10,000-5000 B.C.E.). ■From the first appearance of cylinder seals, the carved scenes could be highly elaborate and refined, indicating the work of specialist stone-cutters.

托福考试复习TPO 27—1 Crafts in the Ancient Near East原文：【1】Some of the earliest human civilizations arose in southern Mesopotamia, in what is now southern Iraq, in the fourth millennium B.C.E. In the second half of the millennium, in the south around the city of Uruk, there was an enormous escalation in the area occupied by permanent settlements. A large part of that increase took place in Uruk itself, which became a real urban center surrounded by a set of secondary settlements. While population estimates are notoriously unreliable, scholars assume that Uruk inhabitants were able to support themselves from the agricultural production of the field surrounding the city, which could be reached with a daily commute.But Uruk’s dominant size in the entire region, far surpassing that of other settlements, indicates that it was a regional center and a true city. Indeed, it was the first city in human history.【2】The vast majority of its population remained active in agriculture, even those people living within the city itself. But a small segment of the urban society started to specialize in nonagricultural tasks as a result of the city’s role as a regional center. Within the productive sector, there was a growth of a variety of specialist craftspeople. Early in the Uruk period, the use of undecorated utilitarian pottery was probably the result of specialized mass production. In an early fourth-millennium level of the Eanna archaeological site at Uruk, a pottery style appears that is most characteristic of this process, the so-called beveled-rim bowl. It is a rather shallow bowl that was crudely made in a mold; hence, in only a limited number of standardsizes. For some unknown reason, many were discarded, often still intact, and thousands have been found all over the Near East. The beveled-rim bowl is one of the most telling diagnostic finds for identifying an Uruk-period site. Of importance is the fact that it was produced rapidly in large amounts, most likely by specialists in a central location.【3】A variety of documentation indicates that certain goods, once made by a family member as one of many duties, were later made by skilled artisans. Certain images depict groups of people, most likely women, involved in weaving textiles, an activity we know from later third-millennium texts to have been vital in the economy and to have been centrally administered. Also, a specialized metal-producing workshop may have been excavated in a small area at Uruk. It contained a number of channels lined by a sequence of holes, about 50 centimeters deep, all showing burn marks and filled with ashes. This has been interpreted as the remains of a workshop where molten metal was scooped up from the channel and poured into molds in the holes. Some type of mass production by specialists were involved here.【4】Objects themselves suggest that they were the work of skilled professionals. In the late Uruk period (3500-3100 B.C.E.), there first appeared a type of object that remained characteristic for Mesopotamia throughout its entire history: the cylinder seal. This was a small cylinder, usually no more than 3 centimeters high and 2 centimeters in diameter, of shell, bone, faience (a glassy type of stoneware), or various types of stones, on which a scene was carved into the surface. When rolled over a soft material----primarily the clay of bullae (round seals), tablets, or claylumps attached to boxes, jars, or door bolts----the scene would appear in relief, easily legible. The technological knowledge needed to carved it was far superior to that for stamp seals, which had happened in the early Neolithic period (approximately 10,000-5000 B.C.E.). From the first appearance of cylinder seals, the carved scenes could be highly elaborate and refined, indicating the work of specialist stone-cutters. Similarly, the late Uruk period shows the first monumental art, relief, and statuary in the round, made with a degree of mastery that only a professional could have produced.题目：1.Which of the sentences below best express the essential information inthe highlighted sentence in the passage paragraph 1?
