雅思(口语)模拟试卷17(题后含答案及解析)
雅思（口语）模拟试卷17(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. Speaking ModuleSpeaking Module (10-15 minutes)1．Part 1 The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.★Where you live now—Do you like the town or city you are living in now?—How do you usually travel around this town/city?—Would you prefer to live in a larger or a smaller town/city?★Health and fitness—Do you try to keep fit?—Have you ever been a member of a fitness club?—Do you often visit a doctor for a check up?—Do you have to pay to visit a doctor in your country?★Hobbies and interests—What do you do in your free time?—Did you have other hobbies/interests when you were younger?—What does your mother do in her free time?—Are these activities popular in your country?—If you had more free time, what would you do?正确答案：★Where you live new—Yes, I do. It is a very green city, with plenty of parks. A river runs through the city and the riverside area is quite beautiful. In the city centre, there are many restaurants, bars and cafes by the river and no cars are permitted there, so it is tranquil. The local government has preserved many of the older buildings and renovated them, so they have become tourist attractions. Not all of the city is this nice—on the outskirts there are industrial areas.—I usually get around by bus. The buses nm quite regularly during the day, but the night service is not so good. There is no subway or light railway the local government decided that these forms of transport were too expensive. The buses are all electric ones, so there is no pollution. The electricity is generated by wind farms outside the city—I prefer living in a small city, like the one I live in now. It’s easy to get around and the countryside isn’t far away. Smaller cities are less polluted too. However, they still have the facilities people need—schools, libraries, hospitals, even a university in my city.★Health and fitness—I’m a little lazy, but I do a lot of walking which keeps me quite fit. Although I don’t do too much exercise, I do have a healthy diet--plenty of fruit and vegetables. I’m not a member or a fitness centre, but I do go swimming occasionally at the weekends.—I used to be, but I only went for about six months. I found it useful, but I couldn’t go on a regular basis because I was working different hours each day. If I had more regular working hours, I think I might join a fitness centre.—Like most people, I only go to the doctor when there is a serious problem with my health. For minor ailments, I go to the chemist’s and get some medicine. It’s not very expensive and saves time. I did have to go for a check up with a doctor a few years ago when I applied for medical insurance. The insurance company wanted to check that I didn’t have anything wrong with me before I took out the policy.—Not usually. Only if it’s something particularly expensive or if it is not essential for your health, each person is permitted to go for a free check up each year, but few do.★Hobbiesand interests—I love watching old films—you know, like Casablanca and Gone With The Wind. I also collect film memorabilia, like posters. I even have a few items that were used on the sets in some old films. In the summer, I enjoy hiking in the countryside near my city. My home is near the outskirts of the city, so I don’t have too far to walk to get into the countryside. I usually walk to the nearby villages and maybe relax in a village pub for an hour or two. If the weather’s nice, it’s a great way to spend a day. I usually hike near bus routes, just in case it rains!—I used to collect coins when I was a child. I gave it up because it was becoming a little expensive. I still have my coin collection, but I don’t spend any time on it. I’ll probably sell it when the coins are more valuable.—She watches a lot of TV, like many middle-aged people in my country. I think that most of the programmes she watches are useless, but she likes them. Sometimes she goes out with friends. I’m not exactly sure what they do together—perhaps a little shopping, or maybe they go to a cafe and chat. My father bought a computer recently and my mother has started to use the Internet. She’s fascinated by eBay—you know, the website where you can buy and sell things. She sometimes watches me while I bid for items of film memorabilia.—Watching TV is certainly popular—almost everyone watches it each week and most people watch it every day. Collecting coins isn’t as popular as collecting stamps. Collecting in general is quite popular in my country. I have friends who collect beer bottles, matchboxes and stuffed toys!—If I had more free time, I would probably start collecting antiques.I love old things, but to collect antiques, you really need to know something about them, especially how to tell the genuine article from a fake. It would take some time to get to know all that. I sometimes go to the market in the centre of my city at the weekend. Several stalls sell antiques, so I could buy items there.2．PART 2Tell me about a holiday you have taken.You should say: --when and where you went on the holiday; --if it is a popular holiday destination; --what you did on the holiday; --and what was special about it.You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you’re going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.正确答案：The best holiday I ever took was a month-long trip around the north of France. I took the train to Paris and stayed there for four days: I spent those days visiting museums, like the Louvre, and all the man sights, such as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. Then, I went to the Normandy coast, where I stayed in a few seaside towns. I saw the famous Mont-St.-Michel, which is a castle built near the coast. At low tide, you can walk across a causeway to get there, but at high tide it is not possible to walk across and you have to use a boat. I went cycling through the countryside and, of course, drank some wine. I went alone. In a way it was good because I could do whatever I wanted. On the other hand, it would have been nice to share the experiences with someone else. The trip was not too expensive, because I went in the autumn when there were not many tourists. I was lucky with the weather —it didn’t rain once!3．PART 3Discussion topic: Holidays and TourismExample questions:—What kind of places do people in your country like to go to on holiday to and what do they usually do there?—Do you think that where people go on holiday and what they do on holiday is related to their income?—How are people’s holidays different to 20 years ago and how are they still similar?—In the future, what kind of holidays do you think will become popular?—What are the advantages and disadvantages of going on a “package holiday” where everything is prepared for you by a travel agency?—What is your idea of a perfect holiday?正确答案：—People in my country either stay at home during their holidays, possibly visiting friends or relatives, or they go abroad, usually to Spain or another Southern European country. Some people go further away, to Thailand or America, but it costs more to go to those places. If they stay at home, they often take the time to simply relax, watch TV or go out with friends to a card or restaurant. If they go abroad, they usually sunbathe on beaches and visit the local sights.—Definitely. The more money people have, the further away they travel—at least in my country. It’s almost like a competition sometimes. Someone goes to Egypt one year, so the next year another person has to go further—to Mexico maybe. People with less money are the ones who tend to stay at home. However, there are some people who have money but don’t like going abroad. They don’t like foreign food perhaps.—They are different in that holidays now include further away destinations and hotel standards and expectations have risen. It is much more common to fly nowadays, mainly because flights are so much cheaper than before. They are similar in that many people still like to sunbathe by the sea or visit local tourist sites.—I think that activity holidays will become increasingly popular. People seem to be getting a little tired of spending their holidays in the same old way and becoming interested in doing something fresh—something different. Winter sports holidays are slowly becoming more popular, for example.—The good thing about package holidays is that everything is arranged for you from flights and hotels to excursions—you don’t have to worry about those things. Well, you don’t have to worry about them if everything goes right. Sometimes things go wrong and cause people a lot of trouble, particularly delays at airports. Some people prefer to travel independently because they want more freedom to do and see what they like—what they are interested in. they don’t like being told what to do, and when. On a package tour, you often only see what others want you to see.—The most important thing is that it has to be completely relaxing. I mean, that’s what a holiday is all about, isn’t it? Taking time off from your busy everyday life and enjoying yourself. I also like to try something new, perhaps even unusual, but many other people prefer doing something familiar in a familiar environment.。
雅思(阅读)历年真题试卷汇编17(题后含答案及解析)
雅思（阅读）历年真题试卷汇编17(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.CLASSIFYING SOCIETIESAlthough humans have established many types of societies throughout history, sociologists and anthropologists tend to classify different societies according to the degree to which different groups within a society have unequal access to advantages such as resources, prestige or power, and usually refer to four basic types of societies. From least to most socially complex they are clans, tribes, chiefdoms and states.ClanThese are small-scale societies of hunters and gatherers, generally of fewer than 100 people, who move seasonally to exploit wild(undomesticated)food resources. Most surviving hunter-gatherer groups are of this kind, such as the Hadza of Tanzania or the San of southern Africa. Qan members are generally kinsfolk, related by descent or marriage. Clans lack formal leaders, so there are no marked economic differences or disparities in status among their members.Because clans are composed of mobile groups of hunter-gatherers, their sites consist mainly of seasonally occupied camps, and other smaller and more specialised sites. Among the latter are kill or butchery sites—locations where large mammals are killed and sometimes butchered—and work sites, where tools are made or other specific activities carried out. The base camp of such a group may give evidence of rather insubstantial dwellings or temporary shelters, along with the debris of residential occupation.TribeThese are generally larger than mobile hunter-gatherer groups, but rarely number more than a few thousand, and their diet or subsistence is based largely on cultivated plants and domesticated animals. Typically, they are settled farmers, but they may be nomadic with a very different, mobile economy based on the intensive exploitation of livestock. These are generally multi-community societies, with the individual communities integrated into the larger society through kinship ties. Although some tribes have officials and even a “capital”or seat of government, such officials lack the economic base necessary for effective use of power.The typical settlement pattern for tribes is one of settled agricultural homesteads or villages. Characteristically, no one settlement dominates any of the others in the region. Instead, the archaeologist finds evidence for isolated, permanently occupied houses or for permanent villages. Such villages may be made up of a collection of free-standing houses, like those of the first farms of the Danube valley in Europe. Or they may be clusters of buildings grouped together, for example, the pueblos of the American Southwest, and the early farming village or small town ofin modern Turkey.ChiefdomThese operate on the principle of ranking—differences in social status between people. Different lineages(a lineage is a group claiming descent from a common ancestor)are graded on a scale of prestige, and the senior lineage, and hence the society as a whole, is governed by a chief. Prestige and rank are determined by how closely related one is to the chief, and there is no truestratification into classes. The role of the chief is crucial.Often, there is local specialisation in craft products, and surpluses of these and of foodstuffs are periodically paid as obligation to the chief. He uses these to maintain his retainers, and may use them for redistribution to his subjects. The chiefdom generally has a center of power, often with temples, residences of the chief and his retainers, and craft specialists. Chiefdoms vary greatly in size, but the range is generally between about 5000 and 20,000 persons.Early StateThese preserve many of the features of chiefdoms, but the ruler(perhaps a king or sometimes a queen)has explicit authority to establish laws and also to enforce them by the use of a standing army. Society no longer depends totally upon kin relationships: it is now stratified into different classes. Agricultural workers and the poorer urban dwellers form the lowest classes, with the craft specialists above, and the priests and kinsfolk of the ruler higher still. The functions of the ruler are often separated from those of the priest: palace is distinguished from temple. The society is viewed as a territory owned by the ruling lineage and populated by tenants who have an obligation to pay taxes. The central capital houses a bureaucratic administration of officials; one of their principal purposes is to collect revenue(often in the form of taxes and tolls)and distribute it to government, army and craft specialists. Many early states developed complex redistribution systems to support these essential services.This rather simple social typology set out by Elman Service and elaborated by William Sanders and Joseph Marino, can be criticised, and it should not be used unthinkingly. Nevertheless, if we are seeking to talk about early societies, we must use words and hence concepts to do so. Service’s categories provide a good framework to help organise our thoughts.Questions 1-7Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 1-7 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this1．There’s little economic difference between members of a clan.A．真B．假C．Not Given正确答案：A解析：利用细节信息“clan”和“economic difference”定位于原文Clan部分的第一个分段落的最后一句话“there are no marked economic differences or disparities in status amongtheir members”。

雅思大作文17test4题目
雅思大作文17test4题目英文回答：It is often argued that people who break the law should be severely punished.There are several reasons why people may believe that those who break the law should face harsh consequences. First, severe punishments can deter individuals from committing crimes in the future. When individuals know that they will face serious consequences for their actions, they are less likely to engage in criminal behavior. Second, harsh punishments can protect society. By removingcriminals from the community, severe penalties can reduce the risk of them causing further harm. Finally, severe punishments can provide a sense of justice for victims and their families. When criminals are held accountable for their actions, it can bring closure to the victims and restore their faith in the justice system.However, there are also several arguments against the use of harsh punishments for those who break the law. First, severe penalties can be counterproductive. They can lead to increased crime rates, as individuals may become desperate and resort to crime to survive. Second, harsh punishments can disproportionately affect certain groups of people,such as the poor and minorities. This can exacerbate social inequality and create a cycle of crime and poverty. Finally, severe punishments can undermine the rehabilitation of criminals. By making it difficult for criminals to reintegrate into society, harsh penalties can increase the likelihood that they will continue to engage in criminal behavior.In conclusion, there are both pros and cons to the useof harsh punishments for those who break the law. It is important to weigh the potential benefits and drawbacks of severe penalties before making a decision about whether or not to use them.中文回答：关于是否应该严惩违法者，人们往往争论不休。

Australia's native dung beetles are scrub and woodland dwellers, specialising in coarse marsupial droppings and avoiding the soft cattle dung in which bush flies and buffalo flies breed.In the early 1960s George Bornemissza, then a scientist at the Australian Government's premier research organisation, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), suggested that dung beetles should be introduced to Australia to control dung-breeding flies. Between 1968 and 1982, the CSIRO imported insects from about 50 different species of dung beetle, from Asia, Europe and Africa, aiming to match them to different climatic zones in Australia. Of the 26 species that are known to have become successfully integrated into the local environment, only one, an African species released in northern Australia, has reached its natural boundary.Introducing dung beetles into a pasture is a simple process: approximately 1,500 beetles are released, a handful at a time, into fresh cow pats2 in the cow pasture. The beetles immediately disappear beneath the pats digging and tunnelling and, if they successfully adapt to their new environment, soon become a permanent, self- sustaining part of the local ecology. In time they multiply and within three or four years the benefits to the pasture are obvious.Dung beetles work from the inside of the pat so they are sheltered from predators such as birds and foxes. Most species burrow into the soil and bury dung in tunnels directly underneath the pats, which are hollowed out from within. Some large species originating from France excavate tunnels to a depth of approximately 30 cm below the dung pat. These beetles make sausage-shaped brood chambers along the tunnels. The shallowest tunnels belong to a much smaller Spanish species that buries dung in chambers that hang like fruit from the branches of a pear tree. South African beetles dig narrow tunnels of approximately 20 cm below the surface of the pat. Some surface-dwelling beetles, including a South African species, cut perfectly- shaped balls from the pat, which are rolled away and attached to the bases of plants.For maximum dung burial in spring, summer and autumn, farmers require a variety of species with overlapping periods of activity. In the cooler environments of the state of Victoria, the large French species (2.5 cms long) is matched with smaller (half this size), temperate-climate Spanish species. The former are slow to recover from the winter cold and produce only one or two generations of offspring from late spring until autumn. The latter, which multiply rapidly in early spring, produce two to five generations annually. The South African ball-rolling species, being a sub- tropical beetle, prefers the climate of northern and coastal New South Wales where it commonly works with the South African turning species. In warmer climates, many species are active for longer periods of the year.Dung beetles were initially introduced in the late 1960s with a view to controlling buffalo flies by removing the dung within a day or two and so preventing flies from breeding. However, other benefits have become evident. Once the beetle larvae have finished pupation, the residue is a first-rate source of fertiliser. The tunnels abandoned by the beetles provide excellent aeration and water channels for root systems. In addition, when the new generation of beetles has left the nest the abandoned burrows are an attractive habitat for soil-enriching earthworms. The digested dung in these burrows is an excellent food supply for the earthworms, which decompose it further to provide essential soil nutrients. If it were not for the dung beetle, chemical fertiliser and dung would be washed by rain into streams and rivers before it could beabsorbed into the hard earth, polluting water courses and causing blooms of blue-green algae. Without the beetles to dispose of the dung, cow pats would litter pastures making grass inedible to cattle and depriving the soil of sunlight. Australia's 30 million cattle each produce 10-12 cow pats a day. This amounts to 1.7 billion tonnes a year, enough to smother about 110,000 sq km of pasture, half the area of Victoria.Dung beetles have become an integral part of the successful management of dairy farms in Australia over the past few decades. A number of species are available from the CSIRO or through a small number of private breeders, most of whom were entomologists with the CSIRO's dung beetle unit who have taken their specialised knowledge of the insect and opened small businesses in direct competition with their former employer.第41题Questions 41-45Do the following statements reflect the claims of the writer in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 41-45 on your answer sheet writeYES if the statement reflects the claims of the writerNO if the statement contradicts the claims of the writerNOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about thisBush flies are easier to control than buffalo flies.______第42题Four thousand species of dung beetle were initially brought to Australia by the CSIRO.______第43题Dung beetles were brought to Australia by the CSIRO over a fourteen-year period.______第44题At least twenty-six of the introduced species have become established in Australia.______第45题The dung beetles cause an immediate improvement to the quality of a cow pasture.______第46题Questions 46-48Label the tunnels on the diagram below.

Often however, governments act in an even more harmful way. They actually subsidise the exploitation and consumption of natural resources A whole range of policies, from farm- price support to protection for coal-mining do, environmental damage and (often) make no economic sense. Scrapping them offers a two-fold bonus: a cleaner environment and a more efficient economy. Growth and environmentalism can actually go hand in hand, if politicians have the courage to confront the vested interest that subsidies create.Section BNo activity affects more of the earth's surface than farming. It shapes a third of the plant's land area, not counting Antarctica, and the proportion is rising. World food output per head has risen by 4 percent between the 1970s and 1980s mainly as a result of increases increases in yields from land already in cultivation, but also because more land has been brought under the plough. Higher yields have been achieved by increased Irrigation , better crop breeding, and a doubling in the use of pesticides and chemical fertillsers in the 1970s and 1980s.Section CAll these activities may have damaging environmental impacts, For example, land clearing for agriculture is the largest single cause of deforestation; chemical fertillsers and pesticides may contaminate water supplies; more intensive farming and the abandonment of fallow periods tend to exacerbate soil erosion; and the spread of mono- culture and use of high-yielding varieties of crops have been accompanied by the disappearance of old varieties of food plants which might have provided, some insurance against pests or diseases in future. Soil erosion threatens the productivity of land in both rich and poor countries. The United States, where the most careful measurements have been done, discovered in 1982 that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate likely to diminish the soil's productivity. The countrys subsequently embarked upon a program to convert 11 per cent of its cropped land to meadow or forest. Topsoil in India and China is vanishing much faster than in AmericaSection DGovernment policies have frequently compounded the environmental damage that farming can cause. In the rich countries, subsidies for growing crops and price supports for farm output drive up the price of land. The annual value of these subsidies is immense; about ＄250 billion, or more than all World Bank lending in the 1980s. To increase the output of crops per acre, a farmer's easiest option is to use more of the most readily available Inputs: fertilisers and pesticides. Fertiliser use doubled in Denmark in the period 1960-1985 and increased in The Netherlands by 150 per cent. The quantity, of pesticides applied. has risen too: by 69 per centin 1975-1984 in Denmark, for example, with a rise of 115 per cent in the frequency of application in the three years from 1981.In the late 1980s and early 1990s some efforts were made to reduce farm subsidies The most dramatic example was that of New Zealand, which scrapped most farm support in 1984 A study of the environmental effects, conducted in 1993, found that the end of fertiliser subsidies had been followed by a fall in fertiliser use (a fall compounded by the decline in world commodity prices, which cut farm incomes), The removal of subsidies also stopped land-clearing and over-stocking, which inthe past had been the principal causes of erosion, Farms began to diversify, The one kind of subsidy whose removal appeared to have been bad for the environment was the subsidy to manage soil erosion, In less enlightened countries, and in the European Union, the trend has been to reduce rather than eliminate subsidies, and to introduce new payments to encourage farmers to treat their land in environmentally friendlier ways, or to leave it fallow, It may sound strange but such payments need to be higher than the existing incentives for farmers to grow food crops, Farmers, however, dislike being paid to do nothing. In several countries they have become interested in the possibility of using fuel produced from crop residues either as a replacement for petrol (as ethanol) or as fuel for power stations (as biomass), Such fuels produce far less carbon dioxide than coal or oil, and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. They are therefore less likely to contribute to the greenhouse effect. But they are rarely competitive with fossil fuels unless subsidised - and growing them does no environmental harm than other cropsSection EIn poor countries, governments aggravate other sorts of damage. Subsidies for pesticides and artificial fertilisers encourage farmers to use greater quantities than are needed to get the highest economic crop yield. A study by the International Rice Research Institute of pesticide use by farmers in South East Asia found that, with pest-resistant varieties of rice, even moderate applications of pesticide frequently cost farmers more than they saved. Such waste puts farmers on a chemical treadmill: bugs and weeds become resistant to poisons, so next year's poisons must be more lethal. One cost is to human health, Every year some 10,000 people die from pesticide poisoning, almost all of them in the developing countries, and another 400,000 become seriously ill. As for artificial fertilisers, their use world-wide increased by 40 per cent per unit of farmed land between the mid 1970s and late 1980s, mostly in the developing countries. Overuse of fertilisers may cause farmers to stop rotating crops or leaving their land fallow, That, in turn, may make soil erosion worse.Section FA result of the Uruguay Round of world trade negotiations is likely to be a reduction of 36 per cent in the average levels of farm subsidies paid by the rich countries in 1986-1990, Some of the world's food production will move from Western Europe to regions where subsidies are lower ornon-existent, such as the former communist countries and parts of the developing world. Some environmentalists worry about this outcome. It will undoubtedly mean more pressure to convert natural habitat into farmland. But it will also have many desirable environmental effects, The intensity of farming in the rich world should decline, and the use of chemical inputs will diminish, Crops are more likely to be grown In the environments to which they are naturally suited. And more farmers in poor countries will have the money and the incentive to manage their land in ways that are sustainable in the long run. That is important, To feed an increasingly hungry world, farmers need every incentive to use their soil and water effectively and efficiently.第54题Questions 54-68Reading Passage 2 has six sections A-F.Choose the most suitable headings for sections A-D and F from the list of headings below.

2017年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析
Seeking an energy holy trinity Jan 10th 2007 From 1 NEELIE KROES, the European Union’s competition commissioner, did not mince her words when reporting on Europe’s energy markets on Wednesday January 10th. Europe’s energy firms have failed to invest in networks and so customers are suffering. Those “vertically integrated” energy companies such as Electricité de France (EDF) or Germany’s E.ON, widely dubbed as “national champions”, are effectively behaving like local monopolies. Shy of competition, eager for artificially high prices, they are helping to block the efficient generation, transmission and distribution of energy on the continent. 2 Energy prices vary wildly across Europe. Ms Kroes wants to see cheaper energy, and intends to push suppliers to divest their distribution network and to get them to invest more in transportation systems so that more energy—in the form of gas, or electricity, for example—can flow easily over borders. It is remarkably hard, for example, for gas-poor Germany to import from the neighbouring, gas-rich Netherlands. Companies that dominate national markets have, so far, had little interest in improving the interconnections which would mean lower prices for consumers across the continent. 3 Ms Kroes, of course, will struggle to get her way. The European Commission, which on the same day presented its recommendation for improving EU energy policy, also wants to see the unbundling of ownership, the legal separation of energy suppliers and transporters, something that the integrated energy companies and interested governments, notably in France and Germany, are bound to oppose ferociously. 4 Complicating the matter is an argument over the security of energy supply in Europe. Much has been made of the risk for western Europe of depending too heavily on Russian exports of gas. Russia under Vladimir Putin is prone to using energy exports as a blunt tool of foreign policy, especially when trying to bully countries in its hinterland. Last year Russia interrupted gas deliveries to Ukraine, affecting supplies in central and western Europe too. This week it blocked oil exports passing via Belarus to Europe, though that spat was soon resolved. 5 The risk is that concerns about security of supply may be used spuriously by those in Europe who oppose the sort of liberalisation encouraged by Ms Kroes. The likes of E.ON and EDF may claim that only protected national champions are able to secure supply, by striking long-term deals with powerful foreign suppliers. The Commission disagrees. Such deals are too often politically motivated and far from transparent. Protection has been tried for long enough and evidently has not worked for the internal market, nor have these companies secured the best deals for consumers from the Russians. 6 In contrast, the Commission's new policy proposes, ideally, a break-up of these companies into suppliers and distributors. (As a second best solution, especially for France and Germany, it recommends the management of the networks by a third party.) Properly independent managers of Europe's energy networks would have a strong incentive to build interconnecting pipelines and power lines across borders. For the gas market another means of ensuring competition and security would be finding a more diverse range of suppliers, for example by building more terminals for the import of liquified natural gas. It would also be likely to mean lower prices, if the example of liberalised Britain over the past ten years is anything to go by. 7 Whether any of this is likely to happen soon, however, is another matter. The Commission is also calling for European governments to agree on a common effort to reduce carbon emissions by at least 20% by 2020 (compared with 1990 levels). If America is willing to play ball, the Commission proposes to reduce emissions by as much as 30%. Achieving either target would mean promoting cleaner cars, a more effective emissions-trading system for Europe, wider use of public transport and a sharp increase in the use of renewable sources of energy, like wind and solar power. All that is laudable enough, but will also require political horse-trading as governments—Europe’s leaders are due to meet in March to discuss the various energy proposals—try to avoid commitments that may hurt domestic energy companies or make European firms less competitive than rivals in America, Asia and elsewhere.

In boxes 1-5 on your answer sheet write YES if the statement reflects the views of the writer NO if the statement contradicts the views of the writer NOT GIVEN if there is no information about this in the passage 1.

Task 1流程图Task 2大作文题目：Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things that we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree？广告话题本身简单，但这个题目出的挺坏的，容易偏题。
1. 这个题目包含绝对词main（most important的意思，下面是牛津词典的解释）。
不论我们同意还是不同意，题目中的给的这个目的（让人们买不要的东西）是题目优先且重点讨论的对象。
切记，这个题目不是问广告的目的是什么？题目是问#增加人们不需要的产品的销售#是不是最主要的目的？当理解了绝对词之后，题目的最简单写作逻辑也就很清楚了。
题目中提到的是目的之一，但不是最重要的目的。
第二：题目要求论述的是#增加人们买不需要的产品# 是不是目的。
不是要论证#广告能不能促使人们买不要的产品#。
第三：这个题目不能论证让人们买了不需要的东西带来的结果，比如人们可能负债，这不属于写作范畴。
参考提纲（只是可能的答案中的一种）Introduction：我不同意题目中的观点。
Body-1：刺激消费者购买不需要的产品的确是一些广告的目的。
-这能带来经济好处因为产品销售增加就能带来收入的增加。
一些商家仅仅以赚取利润为目的，就会制作这样的广告。
-其次这个目的也可以反应在一些广告的内容上。
他们会邀请一些明星代言以刺激支持者非理性消费，把购买本不需要的商品当作对明星的支持。

Reading ModuleReading Module (60 minutes)READING PASSAGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.These invasive species are ruining the retail ecosystem A Invasive species often triumph as a result of good intentions gone wrong. Take Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), introduced to Britain by enthusiastic Victorian gardeners who thought it an ornamental delight that doubled as cattle feed. But from just a scrap of root no bigger than a pea it could grow through tarmac, pavements and brick walls. A century later, its spread is considered such a threat that planting or dumping knotweed is a crime. Knotweed is so hated because it suffocates other plants, replacing them with an unproductive, leafy monotony. Then there is the Nile perch (Lates niloticus), branded one of the world’s worst invaders by conservationists. It’s a freshwater fish that can grow to huge proportions. Again, with good intentions, it was introduced in 1954 to Lake Victoria, straddling Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Since then it has helped push over 200 well-established local fish species to extinction. Like the Nile perch, the cane toad (Bufo marinus) eats almost anything it gets its mouth around. Introduced for pest control, it turned out to be noisy, fast-spreading, and a greater pest itself.B As it is in nature, so it is in the economy. Big superstores and chain retailers were allowed to spread by planners, town councils and governments in awe of big business. But then it started to go wrong. The chains became the economic equivalent of invasive species: hungry, indiscriminate, often antisocial and destructive. When no one was paying much attention, the superstores and cloned shops grew to dominate and suffocate the economic ecosystem. They passed through planning regulations as easily as knotweed pushes through tarmac, devoured smaller and independent retailers with as much reflection as the Nile perch cleansing Lake Victoria of competition. They were often introduced to provide a specific service but outgrew their habitats until their cash—till song could be heard on every street corner, forecourt, roundabout and out-of-town shopping centre. Neither in balance, nor even a boom-bust cycle with other similar, local species of shop; they began permanently to displace them.C Natural scientists use a whole new term to describe the current epoch of comprehensive, global human interference in ecosystems. Our time, they sa5 should be called the “Homogocene” to describe the way that distinctiveness and difference are being eroded. A combination of the creep of invasive species and habitats destroyed by development is driving a mass extinction. The World Conservation Union warns that such invasions are leading to the irretrievable loss of native biodiversity. Typical characteristics of an invasive species include the absence of predators, hardiness, and a generalist diet. Whatever the reason for their arrival andproliferation, invasive species tend to cause a disruption of the ecosystem that is catastrophic for native species.D The big, centralised logistical operations of the supermarkets are likewise driving the homogenisation of business, shopping, eating, farming, food, the landscape, the environment and our daily lives. In the process, Britain is being sucked into a vortex of US-style, chain-store-led, clone retailing, both in towns and in soulless “big-box”out-of-town shopping parks—what they call in the US, with its associated suburban sprawl, the “dead zone”. They are spreading in the way “invasive species” spread in nature, lacking checks and balances, killing off diversity and “native” (in other words, local) species. Tesco is not the only guilty party (think of McDonald’s, Starbucks and Gap), but it is possibly the largest driving force. With around 2000 stores in Britain, almost one third of the grocery market, and rapid international growth, City analysts believe the brand has the land and resources in place already to double its UK floorspace. Can anything stop it?E Bear in mind those characteristics of an invasive species: the absence of predators (real commercial competition or effective regulators to hold them back); hardiness (the legions of corporate lawyers, financial leverage and endless commercial cost-cutting); and a generalist diet (supermarkets will sell virtually anything, and chain stores operate according to a low common denominator). If you want diversity in your world rather than one kind of plant in your garden, one kind of fish in your lake and only one type of venomous, croaking toad under your shed, then you have to manage for that outcome. When we garden, we hold back aggressive, opportunistic plants in order to keep space open for a celebration of variety and colour.F Like it or not (and it is something about which most policy makers and economists are in deep denial), weakly regulated markets give free rein to economic invasive species and hence tend towards monopoly. This is the great modern economic irony. Advocates of free markets argue against checks and balances to counter the power of big business, but in doing so ultimately destroy the possibility of markets that could meaningfully be called free, or, rather, “open”. They resist anti-monopoly regulation in the name of providing consumer choice, and in the process they ultimately destroy it. In some important ways, we are returning to an earlier phase of corporatism. Henry Ford told customers they could have any colour of car, as long as it was black. The scale and seriousness of Tesco’s ambition means that, before long, unless we recognise what is happening and have regulators up to the job, one day we will be able to shop anywhere we like, as long as it’s Tesco.Questions 1-4The text has 6paragraphs (A-F).

All 11 members of the victorious Senegalese team had played for European clubs. They were not alone. By 2000, the first andsecond divisions of Europe’s leagues had poached enough African players to field 70 teams. So, have greedy European clubs deprived Senegal of its best footballers, or has the prospect of a lucrative career in Europe encouraged more Senegalese to take up the beautiful game?B This question Is posed by a new book, “Give Us Your Best and Brightest”, by Devesh Kapur and John McHale. The authors are development economists first, football fans second (if at all). They see the emigration of African players as a highly visible example of the “brain drain”. Less visible, but more worrying, is the departure of the poor world’s doctors, nurses and teachers to more lucrative job markets in the rich world. Ghana, for example, has only 6.2 doctors per 100000 people. Perhaps three-quarters of its doctors leave within ten years of qualifying C The answer to the Senegal conundrum Is of course “both”: the best players leave, and the dream of emulating them motivates many others to take their place. The real question is whether the second effect outweighs the first, leaving the game in Senegal stronger or weaker than it otherwise would be. A few economists, including Andrew Mountford, of Royal Holloway (part of the University of London), and Oded Stark, of the University of Bonn. think the net effect of the brain drain is similarly ambiguous. The prospect of securing a visa to America or Australia should tempt more people in poor countries to Invest in education. Mr Stark calls this a “brain gain”. If the temptation is strong enough, and the chances of landing a visa low enough, the poor country could even come out ahead: it might gain more qualified (if disappointed) doctors and engineers than it loses.D As with all debates about the brain drain, theory has rim ahead of evidence. The numbers on international flows of people are much patchier than those on cross-border flows of goods or capital. In a recent paper, Mr Stark and his co-authors investigate internal migration Instead. The rural villages of Mexico lose many of their brightest sons and daughters to Jobs in titles or border towns, Those Mexicans who leave their home villages tend to be better-educated than those who stay. Despite this, the example the leavers set (and the job leads they provide) raises the average level of schooling of those left behind. Because they can aspire to a world beyond the village, even if they never reach it, young Mexicans have an added reason to stay In school beyond a ninth year, the authors show.E Even if the brain drain does leave a country with a better-educated populace, is this necessarily a good thing? Education is not free, and some of those who gambled on a diploma as a ticket overseas will regret their decision. Mr Stark assumes that people in poor countries tend to demand too little education. A person’s productivity depends on the skills of those around him, as well as his own. Because of these spillovers, an individual’s education Is worth more to the economy as a whole than it is to himself, and he will underinvest in it as a result. Mr Stark sees limited emigration as one way to fix this market failure.F India’s software engineers are perhaps an example of this principle at work. Indian students had little reason to learn computer coding before there was a software industry to employ them. Such an Industry could not take root without computer engineers to man lt. The dream of a job In Silicon valley, however, was enough to luremany of India’s bright young things into coding and that was enough to hatch an indigenous software industry where none existed befits.G India’s valley-dwellers represent just one contingent in a much larger diaspora. According to the most exhaustive study of the brain drain, released last month by the World Bank, there were 1.04m Indian-born people, educated past secondary school, living in the 30 relatively rich countries of the OECD in 2000. (An unknown number of them acquired their education outside their country of birth, the report notes.) This largely successful diaspora is more than just something to envy and emulate. Its members can be a source of know-how and money, and provide valuable entrees into foreign markets and supply chains.H Messrs Kaput and McHale think India’s relatively happy experience with its educated emigres is more likely to be the exception than the rule. Its million-strong brain drain represents Just 43% of its vast graduate population, according to the Bank. By contrast, almost 47% of Ghana’s highly educated native sons live in the OECD; for Guyana, the figure is 89%. This is not a stimulative leeching of talent; it is a haemorrhage.I Emigration, as Mr Stark suggests, might be a spur to greater accomplishment, and the poor world’s talent, like Senegal’s footballers, deserves a chance to compete on a global stage. It is not easy to run a managed “emigration”policy. The drain of educated minds from poor countries is mostly determined by host countries’rules, not home countries’Interests, There will be tremendous pressure to loosen those rules in the future, not least because, as the baby-boom generation retires, it will seek to “backfill the taxpaying workforce behind it”, as Messrs Kapur and McHale put it. The rich world no longer welcomes the tired and the huddled; It looks set to compete ever more fiercely for the bright and the qualified.Questions 14-17The text has 9 paragraphs (A-I).

Black Gold Dark chocolate used to be an acquired taste. The trouble is, we’ve all acquired it. As cocoa prices soar, and a shortage looms, our changing tastes could be threatening the very source of our pleasure. A 25% jump in dark chocolate sales in the UK pretty much speaks for itself. As a nation we are turning our backs on the bland taste of milk chocolate, which is often saturated with vegetable oil. Dark chocolate now dominates counters in many supermarkets. Chocoholics should brace themselves. Fears over a global chocolate shortage have sparked a run on the dark stuff on world cocoa markets that has pushed the price up of cacao beans (used to make cocoa) to their highest level for more than two years. The price of cocoa futures, which is how the beans are traded on world commodity markets, has climbed steadily since last November, reviving fears of the cocoa crisis of 2002 that forced major manufacturers such as Nestle to hike the price of some of its chocolate bars.Although speculators have been fingered for pushing the price of cocoa higher, British chocolate aficionados must share at least some of the blame for the run on the bean. Soaring demand for dark chocolate in the UK has put a rocket under the global price of cacao beans, compounding the impact of a severe drought in West Africa, which is home to much of the world’s cacao bean supplies. Consumers are doing the samething in chocolate as in the rest of the food market. They are trading up and being more discerning about what they buy. All of the country’s top supermarket chains have added new premium dark chocolate varieties to their own-brand ranges in response to this phenomenon. Supermarkets have also expanded the number of dark chocolate lines they stock, dwarfing their milk chocolate variants in some cases. Of course, it takes more beans to produce a bar of dark chocolate than are needed for a bar of milk—and that’s at the root of the problem, Yesterday the cost of cacao beans for delivery in July on the London cocoa exchange shot to ￡1028 a tonne on exceptionally heavy trading. This was up ￡22 on the day and the highest price that the crop has fetched at any point since November 2004. The cost of buying cacao beans was pushed higher by canny investors who have placed record bets that prices will keep rising. Hedge funds, which make money by punting on whether commodity or share prices will rise or fall, have swallowed up a third of the cocoa contracts traded in New York, the other main cocoa trading centre. So far, industry buyers, such as Cadbury Schweppes, have refrained from joining the frenzy, although traders believe that a jump in prices will prompt them to build up their stocks.Prices have risen nearly thirty par cent since the beginning of December, largely on growing concern about what farmers in lvory Coast, the biggest cacao bean producer in west Africa, have dubbed the worst drought in living memory. To make matters worse, demand is outstripping supply as the teeth of consumers in developing markets begin to sweeten. The International Cocoa Organisation predicts a global cocoa shortfall of around 100000 tonnes this year alone, although private forecasts warn the deficit could be as much as 250000 tonnes.Getting the right beans is becoming crucial in a market that is fast following in the footsteps of wine and coffee in terms of getting consumers to appreciate its effect on the palate. People these days are willing to experiment more with food and drink. Rather like wine and coffee, people are realising there are varieties of chocolate available. Dark used to be a niche, but not any longer. With dark chocolate you ere tasting the cocoa, whereas with milk you are tasting the recipe. There are 450 different flavour elements in a single cacao bean, which itself varies in taste depending on where it is grown. Chocolate from Colombia might seem peppery, while chocolate from Venezuela might small like vanilla, for example. This is driving demand for an uber premium version: the so-celled single-estate chocolate bar, which sources its beans from a single location. Scientists are failing over themselves to complete studies showing that moderate consumption of high-quality chocolate can be good for you? Only last week a Harvard professor unveiled research suggesting that a nutrient in cocoa celled epicatechin could lower the risks of cancer, strokes, heart disease and diabetes. Dr Norman Hollenberg, of Harvard Medical School, based his findings on a study of the Kuna people of Panama, who are weaned on cocoa and can drink up to 40 cups of the stuff a week. Separete research at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, late lest year found that snacking on dark chocolate decreased the development of potentially fatal blood dots. And other studies have found that dark chocolate has proportionately mare antioxidants than other foods that are better known for their health-giving properties, such as red wine, green tea and berries.Health has probably played a role, but more as a justification for consumption than anything else. One of dark chocolate’s big selling points is that it doesn’t trap the chocoholic in the same downward sugar-craving spiral as milk chocolate versions. Parents should bear this in mind when they go shopping for snacks for their children.A new breed of fashionable diets has also helped to promote the cause of dark chocolate. Most dieticians agree that a little of what you fancy does you mom good than outright denial. Some experts think more people are eating dark chocolate because the products have got better. The challenge with higher cocoa variants is to get the right trade-off between the percentage of bitter-tasting cocoa, which is where all the good micronutrients come from, and sugar. In the past, dark chocolate was bitter and reasonably gritty tasting. Some companies use a gentle-tasting cocoa bean which, if you’re new to dark chocolate, doesn’t scare you off. Adding a hint of vanilla can also help. Vanilla acts as a seasoning to soften the biter notes of the cocoa and to bring out the sweetness.Questions 27-30For each question, only ONE of the choices is correct. Write the corresponding letter in the appropriate box on your answer sheet.27．In the UK, people are eating more ______.A．chocolate.B．dark chocolate.C．milk chocolate.正确答案：B*28．Cocoa prices are rising for several reasons, but not because of ______.A．a water shortage in West Africa.B．speculators.C．transportation problems.正确答案：C*29．Industry buyers are ______.A．buying far more cacao beans than usual.B．not buying enough cacao beans to make chocolate.C．not yet responding to the price rise in cacao beans.正确答案：C*30．______ are trying hard to prove that chocolate can be good for you.A．ManufacturersB．cientistsC．Advertisers正确答案：BQuestions 31-35Complete the following sentences using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the text.31．A worldwide ______ in chocolate production is expected this year.正确答案：shortfall/deficit*32．Chocolate is becoming like ______ in that people are looking for fresh tastes.正确答案：wine and coffee*33．Dark chocolate can prevent deadly ______.正确答案：blood clots*34．Most dieticians disagree with the concept of ______ when dieting.正确答案：outright denial*35．Some companies have made their dark chocolate less ______.正确答案：gritty tastingQuestions 36-40Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passge 3?

To what extent do you agree or disagree?正确答案：It has been suggested that high school students should be involved in unpaid community services as a compulsory part of high school programmes. Most of the colleges are already providing opportunities to help students gain work experience, but these are not compulsory. In my opinion, sending students to work in community services is a good idea. Life skills are very important and by doing voluntary work, students can learn not only how to communicate with others and work in a team but also how to manage their time and improve their organisational skills. Nowadays, unfortunately, teenagers do not have many after-school activities. After-school clubs are no longer that popular and students mostly go home and sit in front of the TV, browse Internet or play video games. Given compulsory work activities with charitable or community organisations, they will be encouraged to do something more creative. Skills gained through compulsory work will not only be an asset on their CV but also increase their employability. Students will also gain more respect towards work and money as they will realise that it is not that easy to earn them and hopefully will learn to spend them in a more practical way. Admittedly, unpaid jobs for charity organisations take up some time of students who need to spend more valuable time on their study. Namely, in a short term, this activity cannot bring any reward for those participants. However, any kind of charity work in spare time will prevent them from sitting and doing nothing. Furthermore, with sufficient social experiences and working skills, students may be more competitive in the job market after graduation in the foreseeable future. In conclusion, I think this is a very good idea, and I hope this programme will be put into action for high schools shortly.2．The charts below give information on the ages of the populations of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and projections for 2050. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.正确答案：The four pie charts illustrate information on the ages of the population of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and predictions for 2050. We can see from the first two pie charts that in Yemen, people under 14 years occupied the first position in 2000, while people from 15 to 59 years will have the highest percentage in2050. There will be a growth in the percentage of people from 15 to 59 years and over 60 years from 2000 to 2050. However, the percentage of people under 14 years will decrease over the 50 years. It can be seen from the second two pie charts that in Italy, people from 15 to 59 years have the highest percentage in 2000 and 2050, and the percentage of people over 60 years was higher than that of people under 14 years. There will be a rise in the percentage of people over 60 years from 2000 to 2050. However, the 50 years will witness a decrease in the percentage of people under 14 years and from 15 to 59 years. In 2000, in terms of people under 14 years, the percentage of Yemen was higher than that of Italy. However, in 2050, as for population over 60 years, the percentage of Yemen will be much lower than that of Italy.。

I am phoning to make a complaint regarding a flight that I took with you recently. OPERATOR: OK. There are some details I will need to take from you first. May I have your name please? JACK: Jack Dawson. That’s D-A-W-S-O-N.OPERATOR: And your address?JACK: It’s 33 Hillcrest Road. That’s H-I-double-L-C-R-E-S-T.OPERATOR: 33 Hillcrest Road. Is that in Exeter? JACK: Yes.OPERATOR: And what is the postcode of the residence? JACK: It’s AL698GQ.OPERATOR: Thank you. Do you have a telephone number? JACK: Yes. The number at my office is 754688.OPERATOR: That’s good, and may I just take a home phone number for you in case of emergencies? JACK: No problem. It’s 798662.OPERATOR: Are they both local numbers? JACK: Yes.OPERATOR: OK great, thank you for your patience. Now what is the nature of your complaint?JACK: I’m phoning to complain about a flight I took recently. I always take certain measures to ensure that I will be comfortable. For example, I always pay the additional cost for extra legroom and I always arrive punctually for the flight to make sure that I am seated beneath an air conditioner. Unfortunately I was disappointed to find that the air conditioning on the plane was broken, so I spent the entire flight in discomfort as it was too hot and the air was stuffy’.OPERATOR: I see. I do apologise for this fault with the air conditioning. Now while I have you on the phone, would you mind answering a short questionnaire regarding your recent flight?JACK: Sure.OPERATOR: OK, let’s get started. What did you think of the food that was served to you during the flight?JACK: I thought that it was inexpensive and quite delicious. However I was still very hungry afterwards as it was a very small portion and more of a snack. Providing a snack for lunch is not reasonable.OPERATOR: OK, I have noted that down. What was your opinion of the quality of service that you received from our staff on-board?JACK: The staff were very helpful, but each time I pressed the button to request service it took a long time for a staff member to arrive. I found this frustrating as there just weren’t enough staff on-board the flight to be able to serve all of the customers.OPERATOR: OK, that’s great. Thank you very much for answering those questions. Are there any other parts of your travel experience that you would like to comment on?JACK: Yep. The process of moving through security was very quick and helped to make my travel experience stress-free.OPERATOR: Okay. Do you have any extra comments on the services you received during the flight?JACK: Yes, I thought that the seats were very uncomfortable and looked very old. They were also in need of repair as the reclined feature on my chair was broken so I could not go to sleep for the whole flight. Luckily the entertainment facilities were very good so I was able to distract myself by watching movies.OPERATOR: Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of my questions, we would liketo offer you some gifts as a goodwill gesture, with a 20% discount on the cost of your hotel stay.

雅思考试阅读专项模拟训练试题带答案2017雅思考试阅读专项模拟训练试题带答案如果不想在世界上虚度一生，那就要学习一辈子，以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的2017雅思考试阅读专项模拟训练试题带答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!Background music may seem harmless, but it canhave a powerful effect on those who hear it.Recorded background music first found its way intofactories, shop and restaurants in the US. But itsoon spread to other arts of the world. Now it isbecoming increasingly difficult to go shopping or eata meal without listening to music.To begin with, "muzak" (音乐广播网) was intendedsimply to create a soothing (安慰) atmosphere.Recently, however, it's become big business—thanksin part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman, anAmerican marketing expert, has shown that music can boost sales or increase factoryproduction by as much as a third.But, it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increasereceipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity tospot items they like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always answer. liman found, for example,that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reducedoverall sales. So restaurants owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to keepthe customers moving—unless of course, the resulting indigestion leads to complaints!练习( )1.
