雅思09年最难写的三道题
Body Paragraph 1 (第一个主体段)：
Topic Sentence (中心句)： 读书能够提高人们的想象力。
Potential Trap: 考生千万不要整篇文章都围绕一个点展开。
3. 立场选择：笔者选择的观点是：reading对人的想象力和语言技能的提高有更大的帮助。
Note：这里考生当然也可以选择TV这个观点，但是笔者的看法是如果偏向于TV来写的话，论据比较难找，文章充实性会有较大的问题。但是考生如果有自己的想法的话完全可以按照自己的观点来展开这篇想法。
为什么？电视节目有声音，图像，好玩，而书非常的boring.
导致的结果：人们的已经把时间浪费在电视娱乐上，而不是去从书中去获取知识；想象力和语言表达能力下降.
反方观点：电视给了人们更多的思维空间，因为接受的信息是多元的 (multi-dimensional).
摆出自己的观点： 同意书籍的影响更大。
归类分析：
这并不是危言耸听。当我们纵观一下2009年47次A类雅思议论文的题目时，发现这些题目具有以下两个特征：
1.题目越来越细节化。在09年的47道题目里面，除了个别的与往年重复的雅思考题外，我们很难再找到一些问大方面的题目。比如说在2008年的3月1日考试中，大作文题目是让学生去从所给出的十个学科中选出两科最重要的和一科不重要的。这里面有music这一科目，但是如果考生不擅长的话，完全可以不选。而在09年3月7日的考试中，直接问考生music的作用是教育还是娱乐。这里考生完全没有任何选择性，就算是对这个话题不了解，不会要英文表达，也得硬着头皮写。8月29日的Tourism话题考到了关于全球的景色越来越像的原因何解决方法。9月12日的考试问的是mothers and fathers是否应该参加childcare培训课程。

Many countries use fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) as the main source of energy. However, in some countries the use of the alternative sources of energy (wind energy and solar energy) are encouraged.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this development? 在一些国家化石燃料是能源的主要，而其他国家却鼓励风能和太阳能，你在多大程度上支持或是反对。
（能源类）★背景知识：化石燃料的含义：亦称矿石燃料，是一种碳氢化合物或其衍生物。
化石燃料所包含的天然资源有煤炭、石油和天然气。
化石燃料的优点：①已经大量使用，化石燃料的运用能使大规模工业发展和替代水车, 并且代替木材或泥煤燃烧加热。
化石燃料的缺点：①不环保：不断地燃烧化石燃料是排放温室气体二氧化碳的之一，是加快全球变暖的因素之一。
②可持续性差：传统燃料处于被耗尽的边缘，导致能源危机。
太阳能的优点：①普遍：太阳光普照大地，没有地域的限制无论陆地或海洋，无论高山或岛屿，都处处皆有，可直接开发和利用，且勿须开采和运输。
②环保：开发利用太阳能不会污染环境，它是最清洁的能源之一，在环境污染越来越严重的今天，这一点是极其宝贵的。
③持久：根据目前太阳产生的核能速率估算，氢的贮量足够维持上百亿年，而地球的寿命也约为几十亿年，从这个意义上讲，可以说太阳的能量是用之不竭的。
太阳能的缺点：①效率低和成本高：太阳能利用的进一步发展，主要受到经济性的制约。
目前太阳能利用的发展水平，有些方面在理论上是可行的，技术上也是成熟的。

(4) What about the so-called authors of other famous works of literature?(5) Skeptics often argue that William Shakespeare could not have had the high degree of education reflected in the plays. (6) Shakespeare's plays are very sophisticated. (7) The plays reveal that whoever wrote them was very familiar with politics, foreign languages, and classical Greek and Latin. (8) Skeptics say Shakespeare could not have gotten such a good education since he was not from a wealthy or noble family. (9) As serious scholars have long pointed out, Shakespeare, as a resident of Stratford-upon-Avon, where he grew up, would have been entitled to attend the local school. (10) There he would have learned reading, writing, and the classics and would have been exposed to many of the historical and philosophical ideas evident in Shakespeare's works. (11) Skeptics also maintain that Shakespeare could not have authored the plays because he never attended a university; serious scholars, however, point out that many dramatists of his time did not attend college. (12) It seems that despite what is said, there is little reason to doubt that Shakespeare's plays and sonnets were really written by Shakespeare.30.

Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.Questions 9-12 are based on the following passages.Passage 1In a recent survey concerning plagiarism amongscholars, two University of Alabama economists asked1,200 of their colleagues if they believed their work hadLine ever been stolen. A startling 40 percent answered yes.5While not a random sample, the responses still representhundreds of cases of alleged plagiarism. Very few of themwill ever be dragged into the sunlight. That's becauseacademia often discourages victims from seeking justice,and when they do, tends to ignore their complaints. “It's10like cockroaches,” says the author of a recent book aboutacademic fraud. “For every one you see on the floor, thereare a hundred behind the stove.”Passage 2Words belong to the person who wrote them. Thereare few simpler ethical notions than this, particularly as15society directs more and more energy toward the creationof intellectual property. In the past 30 years, copyright lawshave been strengthened, fighting piracy has become anobsession with Hollywood, and, in the worlds of academiaand publishing, plagiarism has gone from being bad literary20manners to something close to a felony. When a notedhistorian was recently found to have lifted passages fromother historians, she was asked to resign from the boardof the Pulitzer Prize committee. And why not? If she hadrobbed a bank, she would have been fired the next day.9. Both passages discuss which of the following?(A) Reactions to plagiarism committed by scholars(B) An increase in plagiarism by college professors(C) The impact that academic fraud can have on the communication of scholarly ideas(D) A major change in copyright laws that occurred within the past three decades(E) Recent and highly publicized cases of plagiarism答案：A10. The “author” (line 10, Passage 1) would likely argue that the historian's having “lifted passages from other historians” (lines 21-22, Passage 2) is(A) a relatively harmless error(B) an example of academic collaboration(C) deserving of harsh punishment(D) far from an isolated incident(E) a comparatively recent problem答案：D11. The author of Passage 2 would likely respond to the actions attributed to “academia” in lines 8-9 in Passage 1 (“academia ... complaints”) by asserting that(A) these actions are consistent with the approach common in publishing(B) academic plagiarism has usually been misrepresented in surveys(C) researchers should not be held accountable for inadvertent mistakes(D) universities increasingly treat plagiarism as a serious offense(E) colleges should provide amnesty to researchers accused of plagiarism答案：D12. Which best describes the relationship between the two passages?(A) Passage 1 advocates a strategy that Passage 2 considers outmoded.(B) Passage 1 envisions an idealistic condition that Passage 2 finds impossible.(C) Passage 1 provides a detached analysis to which Passage 2 responds with alarm.(D) Passage 1 describes a state of affairs that Passage 2 views as inexcusable.(E) Passage 1 emphasizes the causes of a problem, and Passage 2 emphasizes its effects.答案：DQuestions 13-23 are based on the following passage.This passage is adapted from a novel about anarchaeologist on a dig in the Yucatán Peninsula.“I dig through ancient trash,” I told the elegantlygroomed young woman who had been sent by a popularmagazine to write a short article on my work. “I grub inLine the dirt, that's what I do. Archaeologists are really no5 better than scavengers, sifting through the garbage thatpeople left behind when they died, moved on, built a newhouse, a new town, a new temple. We're garbage collectorsreally. Is that clear?” The sleek young woman's smilefaltered, but she bravely continued the interview.10That was in Berkeley, just after the publication ofmy last book, but the memory of the interview lingeredwith me. I pitied the reporter and the photographer whoaccompanied her. It was so obvious that they did notknow what to do with me.15My name is Elizabeth Butler; my friends and studentscall me Liz. The University of California at Berkeley listsme as a lecturer and field archaeologist, but in actualityI am a mole, a scavenger, a garbage collector. I find itsomewhat surprising, though gratifying, that I have20managed to make my living in such a strange occupation.Often I argue with other people who grub in the dirt.I have a reputation for asking too many embarrassingquestions at conferences where everyone presents theirfindings. I have always enjoyed asking embarrassing25questions.Sometimes, much to the dismay of my fellow academics, I write books about my activities and theactivities of my colleagues. In general, I believe thatmy fellow garbage collectors regard my work as suspect30because it has become quite popular. Popularity is not the mark of a properly rigorous academic work. I believe thattheir distrust of my work reflects a distrust of me. My worksmacks of speculation; I tell stories about the people whoinhabited the ancient ruins—and my colleagues do not care 35for my tales. In academic circles, I linger on the fringes where the warmth of the fire never reaches, an irreverentoutsider, a loner who prefers fieldwork to the university,and general readership to academic journals.But then, the popularizers don't like me either. I gave 40that reporter trouble, I know. I talked about dirt and potsherds* when she wanted to hear about romance andadventure. And the photographer—a young man whowas more accustomed to fashion-plate beauties than toweatherworn archaeologists—did not know how to picture 45the crags and fissures of my face. He kept positioning me in one place, then in another. In the end, he took photographsof my hands: pointing out the pattern on a potsherd,holding a jade earring, demonstrating how to use a manoand metate, the mortar and pestle with which the Maya50grind corn.My hands tell more of my history than my face. They are tanned and wrinkled and I can trace the paths of veinsalong their backs. The nails are short and hard, like theclaws of some digging animal.55I believe that the reporter who interviewed me expected tales of tombs, gold, and glory. I told her about heat,disease, and insect bites. I described the time that my jeepbroke an axle 50 miles from anywhere, the time that thelocal municipality stole half my workers to work on a local 60road. “Picture postcards never show the bugs,” I told her.“Stinging ants, wasps, fleas, roaches the size of your hand.Postcards never show the heat.”I don't think that I told her what she wanted to hear,but I enjoyed myself. I don't think that she believed all65my stories. I think she still believes that archaeologistswear white pith helmets and find treasure each day beforebreakfast. She asked me why, if conditions were as horribleas I described, why I would ever go on another dig. Iremember that she smiled when she asked me, expecting70me to talk about the excitement of discovery, the thrill ofuncovering lost civilizations. Why do I do it?“I'm crazy,” I said. I don't think she believed me.*fragments of broken pottery, especially ones with archaeological significance13. The passage as a whole serves primarily to(A) satirize the activities of professional archaeologists(B) portray the trials and tribulations of professional journalists(C) reveal the personality of a character through her own self-descriptions(D) represent the ambiguities of truth through unreliable first-person narration(E) display the inner workings of the mind of a brilliant academic答案：C14.

The “other people” (line 21) would most likely describe the narrator as(A) collegial(B) indulgent(C) admiring(D) indifferent(E) contentious答案：E16.

In lines 34-35, “care for” most nearly means(A) enhance(B) desire(C) appreciate(D) look after(E) feel concern about答案：C19. Lines 35-38 (“In academic ... journals”) make use of which of the following devices?(A) Metaphor(B) Understatement(C) Personification(D) Humorous anecdote(E) Literary allusion答案：A20. Lines 42-47 (“And . .. hands”) suggest primarily that the photographer(A) is flustered by an unfamiliar situation(B) does not know bow to take good pictures(C) is excited by a new challenge(D) does not respond well to criticism(E) is averse to photographing older subjects答案：A21. The narrator mentions all of the following as problems encountered at archaeological digs EXCEPT(A) noxious insects(B) incompetent workers(C) government interference(D) mechanical breakdowns(E) uncomfortable weather答案：B22.

传统服装思路：是什么什么样子有什么特点Well，for the traditional clothes, I would like to tell you something about cheongsam, which is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys a growing popularity in the international world of high fashion. It is Easy to slip on and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits well the female Chinese figure. Its neck is high, collar closed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full ngth, depending on season and taste. The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest, a fitting waist, and slits up from the sides, all of which combine to set off the beauty of the female shape. Another beauty of the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, they can be worn either on casual or formal occasions. In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm, elegance and neatness. No wonder it is so much liked by women not only of China but of foreign countries as well.15：14 第二题答岸不同时期穿的不同的衣服思路：烤鸭们可以参照传统服装，可以说一下传统服装的代表旗袍，再跟现在的衣服做下对比就哦ok 了。

1.对立观点Keeping Pets1．有人认为养宠物是好事，有人则认为是坏事2．我的看法There is no denying the fact that keeping pets is a hotly debated topic today. Some people think keeping pets is a good thing to do. They believe that pets, like cats and dogs, can help relieve the lonelinesssuffered by senior citizens and other social members who are confined to their homes for this reason or that. They also argue that keeping pets helps mankind understand animals’ world and develop positive feelings toward them. Others, however, hold the opposite view. They regard keeping pets as a useless but harmful thing to do. First, pets can transmit diseases. Secondly, the noises and dung of pets aresources of pollution. Last but not least, as many rare birds and animals are kept as pets, they will surely be hunted on a large scale, which means a threat to the balance of the ecosystem.Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the latter. Anyway, we can lessen our loneliness and express our love toward animals in other ways. And it is my belief that only byplacing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a lively and colorful world.2. 利弊类Advantages and Disadvantages of Cell Phones(手机的利弊) 1．手机使用的普遍性；2．手机的优点；3．手机的危害及我的建议。

雅思写作真题范文之09年5,7月备考指导本文来自雅思作文网《09年5-7月备考指导》。
写作练习三步走：“精读—摘抄—模仿”。
很多同学写作的最大的问题是无话可说，解决这一问题的最好的方法是先大量精读雅思写作的范文，请记住“没有大量的输入就没有自由的输出”。
也提供各种各样写作套句，写作词组搭配和句型，首段中段和尾段诸多模版供选择，具体可以看我博客置顶文章。
请记住雅思写作中所有的让考官眼前一亮的东西一定是提前设计好的。
记得笔者之前曾和一位雅思的前考官交流过，她曾对我说了这样一句话，让我记忆犹新：“Every word in your essay should be preset..”多练习范文:根据科学统计要在雅思写作中取得6.5分的成绩，至少要练习15篇左右文章。
希望同学们在练习的时候一定要掐好时间，最近几次考试很多同学大作文没有来得及写完，结果写作在5分以下，究其原因还是平时的实战练习太少了。
写完之后一定要找到老师来批改，我自己给学生批改作文的实践告诉我：某一个学生所犯的错误的类型是不断重读重现的，比如我给一位雅思之前5分的学员一气改了5篇文章，发现5篇文章的错误保持高度一致：主谓一致错误，一个句子出现两个谓语动词，词性误用，中间段落论证单薄。
后来改正之后，这次作文考出了 6.5分的好成绩.5.16,5-7月大作文具体题目预测：1.The gap of living in cities and the countryside is larger andlarger.

2009年5月三笔真题
Last Friday an advisory panel to the European Environment Agency issued an extraordinary scientific opinion: The European Union should suspend its goal of having 10 percent of transportation fuel made from biofuel by 2020.The European Union's biofuel targets were increased and extended from 5.75 percent by 2010 to 10 percent by 2020 just last year. Still, Europe's well-meaning rush to biofuels, the scientists concluded, had produced a slew of harmful ripple effects - from deforestation in Southeast Asia to higher prices for grains.In a recommendation released last weekend, the 20-member panel, made up of some of Europe's most distinguished climate scientists, called the 10 percent target "overambitious" and an "experiment" whose "unintended effects are difficult to predict and difficult to control.""The idea was that we felt we needed to slow down, to analyze the issue carefully and then come back at the problem," Laszlo Somlyody, the panel's chairman and a professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, said in a telephone interview.He said that part of the problem was that when it set the targets, the European Union was trying desperately to solve the problem of rising transportation emissions "in isolation," without adequately studying the effects of other sectors like land use and food supply."The starting point was correct: I'm happy that the European Union took the lead in cutting greenhouse gasses and we need to control traffic emissions," Somlyody said. "But the basic problem is it thought of transport alone, without considering all these other effects. And we don't understand those very well yet."The panel's advice is not binding and it is not clear whether the European Commission will follow the recommendation.It has become increasingly clear that the global pursuit of biofuels - encouraged by a rash of targets and subsides in both Europe and the United States - has not produced the desired effect.Investigations have shown, for example, rain forests and peat swamp are being cleared to make way for biofuel plantations, a process that produces more emissions than the biofuels can save. Equally concerning, land needed to produce food for people to eat is planted with more profitable biofuel crops, and water is diverted from the drinking supply.In Europe and the United States, food prices for items like pizza and bread have increased significantly as grain stores shrink and wheat prices rise.The price of wheat and rice are double those of a year ago, and corn is a third higher, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization said this week."Food price inflation hits the poor hardest, as the share of food in their total expenditures is much higher than that of wealthier populations," said Henri Josserand of the Food and Agriculture Organization.Biofuels are not, of course, the only reason for high food prices. Fuel to transport food is more expensive with oil more than $100 a barrel. There have been unexpected droughts this year as well.But the rush to meet biofuels targets has put our "need" to drive a car to the mall in direct competition with the need to eat in some of the poorest countries in the world.A global analysis performed by forestry experts at the Australian International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, a scientific study group, found that biofuels were "in conflict with the reduction of deforestation" and also had negative effects on farming intensity and food security.It also concluded that the rush to make biofuels from crops like corn, soy and rapeseed did not do much to reduce global greenhouse gasses anyway, producing an "ambiguous effect on greenhouse gas emissions." This is partly because of land use changes like the clearing of forests and partly because the process of converting plants into fuel takes a lot of energy itself.The European Union started promoting biofuels for use in transportation in 2003 as emissions from road transportation had been growing rapidly.It required that 2 percent of transport fuel come from biofuel by 2005 and 5.75 percent by 2010. The first goal was not met and the 2010 goal is expected to be missed as well. Even so, the goal was raised to 10 percent by 2020, raising the pressure for countries to comply.Should we conclude that all biofuels are bad?No. But motivated by the obvious problems now emerging, scientists have begun to take a harder look at their benefits.For example, the European Environment Agency advisory panel suggests that the best use of plant biomass is not for transport fuel but to heat homes and generate electricity.To be useful for vehicles, plant matter must be distilled to a fuel and often transported long distances. To heat a home, it can often be used raw or with minimal processing, and moved just a short distance away.Likewise, the ambitious 10 percent target has led to destruction of vital natural resources, the European Environment Agency recommendation said, "increasing pressures on soil, waterand biodiversity" in Europe and elsewhere."We felt we need to understand more about biofuels and to integrate these various goals before just moving ahead," said Somlyody, the panel's chairman.。
