2014年雅思考试模拟试题及答案
Reading Passage 1 ECOTOURISM IN RUR A L MEXICO It’s not hard to advocate ecotourism——loosely defined as a form of travel that protects an area of the natural world while enabling the local people to preserve their culture and meet their daily needs.The hard part is making it work. Mexico，with many natural，still largely unspoiled areas and a land system based on community ownership，seems a likely ecotourism paradise.But its record of tourism development tells a different story. Now，thanks to the efforts of two consultants in Mexico City，the country may have figured out a way to benefit from the ecotourism market that is growing rapidly worldwide.Juan Carlos Ibarra and Antonio Suarez，co-owners of Balam Consultants，have succeeded where many other people have failed，helping local communities develop the ability to operate ecotourism ventures. Ibarra and Suarez began their current line of work in the early 1990s，helping the residents of the community of San Nicolas，outside Mexico City，develop and market recreational facilities that would attract tourists. Ibarra and Suarez spent more than 600 hours teaching people in the community business，marketing，and public relations skills.The result of this project was the San Nicolas Park，which now offers facilities for hiking and mountain biking on 2,304 hectares of land that otherwise would have been lost to illegal logging and urban sprawl.The project’s success is well regarded by professionals from around the world and is the most-visited ecotourism site in Mexico. The product of their efforts “shows what can be done.Its main value is that it enables those who will benefit or suffer most from ecotourism to take the decisions.” says Ron Mader of the website Americas Ecotourism.“The wonder of the work done by Ibarra and Suarez，”Mader says，“is that they make it look very simple.” An advantage for Mexico in the field of ecotourism development is land reforms implemented after the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1917.Property previously owned by the wealthy elite was redistributed to peasant communities in the form of communally owned village lands known as comunidades. Today，more than 23,000 communal groups Own and 1ive on 75 percent of Mexico’s land.Most of the country s splendid snowcapped volcanoes，lush jungles and white sand beaches are also communal property.This means that when tourists come to visit the country’s natural attractions，the local property owners should benefit. But some heavily promoted resorts，such as Cancun and Bahias de Huatulco，have been built On village lands that were taken by the government and sold to corporations. Although some local people are hired to work at these resorts，many do not have the appropriate skills or the knowledge of how these corporations work，said Ibarra. As a result，most of the well-paying jobs are filled by people from urban areas who have a better understanding of business Ibarra and Suarez are trying to stop this trend by working with the comunidades to develop community-based ecotourism projects.The two consultants have been conducting workshops on the subject in communities across the country. “In recent years，as the ecotourism boom reached Mexico，many companies started promoting trips to the wilderness areas of the country,” said Ibarra.“In the beginning，the owners of the lands in which ecotourism was being developed were not involved at all.Now，slowly but surely，rural populations have begun to perceive ecotourism as an economic alternative.” Commercially speaking，however，the residents of rural communities usually have no experience in running and marketing a business.Even if they have developed a well run project，visitors won’t come unless there is also effective marketing.After all，it is a business and they need to bring in customers. Ibarra and Suarez say teaching people in local communities how to run an ecotourism operation is easy.The hard part is helping rural inhabitants overcome a culturally ingrained notion that they are stupid and incapable of running such a business themselves. For every hour devoted to the instruction of business skills，the consultants spend four hours helping local residents build self-esteem and confidence.They are convinced that a project’s success depends on the involvement of the local landowners. Ron Mader views Ibarra and Suarez as pioneers in building successful ecotourism in Mexico.Their work.hesays，is“outstanding——not only because they have assisted in development of hiking and biking trails，but because they have demonstrated a profound respect for the communities Questions 1——5 Complete the summary below.Choose ONE ORTWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 1—5 on your answer sheet.

Most of Mexico’s beaches and jungles are communally owned. 7. The Mexican government has profited from the development of tourist resorts. 8. The number of local people working in tourism is decreasing. 9. Ibarra and Suarez want to encourage people who already understand business methods to work on ecotourism projects. 10. Recently，companies have been offering trips to see wild animals in Mexico. 11. People in the Mexican countryside often lack confidence in their own business skills. 12. The first thing that the consultants do in a community is to explain the benefits of ecotourism. 13 Ibarra and Suarez focus mainly on business skills training. 14 Ron Mader admires the attitude of Ibarra and Suarez to the rural 1andowners of Mexico. Reading Passage 2 High-tech Refrigeration 1 Refrigerators are the epitome of clunky technology: solid, reliable and just a little bit dull. They have not changed much over the past century, but then they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea--draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it, and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it. This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well when refrigerators' main jobs were preserving food and, as air conditioners, cooling buildings. Today's high-tech world, however, demands high-tech refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for something to replace them. 2 One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials. These act like batteries when they undergo a temperature change: attach electrodes to them and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra-red cameras. An array of tiny pieces of paraelectric material can sense the heat radiated by, for example, a person, and the pattern of the array's electrical outputs can then be used to construct an image. But until recently no one had bothered much with the inverse of this process. That inverse exists, however. Apply an appropriate current to a paraelectric material and it will cool down. 3 Someone who is looking at this inverse effect is Alex Mischenko, of Cambridge University. Using commercially available paraelectric film, he and his colleagues have generated temperature drops five times bigger than any previously recorded. That may be enough to change the phenomenon from a laboratory curiosity to something with commercial applications. 4 As to what those applications might be, Dr Mischenko is still a little hazy. He has, nevertheless, set up a company to pursue them. He foresees putting his discovery to use in more efficient domestic fridges and air conditioners. The real money, though, may be in cooling computers. 5 Gadgets containing microprocessors have been getting hotter for a long time. One consequence of Moore's Law,which describes the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 18 months, is that the amount of heat produced doubles as well. In fact, it more than doubles, because besides increasing in number, the components are getting faster. Heat is released every time a logical operation is performed inside a microprocessor, so the faster the processor is, the more heat it generates. Doubling the frequency quadruples the heat output. And the frequency has doubled a lot. The first Pentium chips sold by Dr Moore's company, Intel, in 1993, ran at 60m cycles a second. The Pentium 4--the last "single-core" desktop processor--clocked up 3.2 billion cycles a second. 6 Disposing of this heat is a big obstruction to further miniaturisation and higher speeds. The innards of a desktop computer commonly hit 80℃. At 85℃, they stop working. Tweaking the processor's heat sinks (copper or aluminium boxes designed to radiate heat away) has reached its limit. So has tweaking the fans that circulate air over those heat sinks. And the idea of shifting from single-core processors to systems that divided processing power between first two, and then four, subunits, in order to spread the thermal load, also seems to have the end of the road in sight. 7 One way out of this may be a second curious physical phenomenon, the thermoelectric effect. Like paraelectric materials, this generates electricity from a heat source and produces cooling from an electrical source. Unlike paraelectrics, a significant body of researchers is already working on it. 8 The trick to a good thermoelectric material is a crystal structure in which electrons can flow freely, but the path of phonons--heat-carrying vibrations that are larger than electrons--is constantly interrupted. In practice, this trick is hard to pull off, and thermoelectric materials are thus less efficient than paraelectric ones (or, at least, than those examined by Dr Mischenko).

2014年雅思口语考试题型趋势分析
2014年雅思口语考试题型趋势分析雅思口语考试的内容经常变化，根据形势，专家分析2014年将呈现出七个雅思口语趋势，在此小编特进行收集整理，分享给大家，希望对大家有所帮助。
文中观点仅供参考。
雅思口语趋势一、内容商业化雅思考试的口语题库一向比较稳定，考试每年增加几个新的topic，每个topic又包括相应的几道新题，但数量有限，题型和原本的保持一致，因此对新试题的准备工作并不难。
但也许是收到全球化商业的影响，或是因为各大商务类考试的红火局面，口试的内容在近年来朝向商业化领域拓展，不少考题和该方面内容相关，甚至在出现过关于外企面试的一些题目，考生要做好准备。
在第一和第三部分中，关于workandcareer方面曾经考过的几道真题有，如：Doyouthinksalaryisonlythingthatcountsinajob？Whatdoyouthinkofleaflets？Howcanweincreasethesalesprofitsofacompany？Couldyoutellmethedifferencebetweenbigandsmallshopsintheirservice？Howtoprovideagoodservice？Isitimportantforashoppingcentertohavegoodservice？在第二部分里则大玩商务基础知识，如：Describeacompanythatyourrelativeorfriendowns。
Describehowtorunabusiness(Youshouldsaywhatyoumustdoandwhereyourunthebusiness)对于商业类问题，考生应该积累适量的基本知识，毕竟在这个商业发达的年代，没有这类知识是吃不开的，建议考生在考前可以参考外企的一些简单面试材料，并试着用英文回答，或者参加一些培训机构的课程，从中获得可供参考的答题内容。
