Book Test #6:Section 1Sample Essay - Score of 6The power of success can be disastrous when placed in the wrong hands. Naturally, there are those who will always choose to manipulate conditions to succeed in their own endeavors, not taking into consideration the lives of those around them. On the other hand, there may be those who do not necessarily pursue selfish ends, but simply do not know where to take success once it has been achieved, thus resulting in their ownself-sabotage.Throughout history, we have seen success used wrongfully in the hands of the unworthy. Powerful leaders of nations, kingdoms, and empires, having succeeded in gaining leadership, have then used their influence wrongfully in achieving their own selfish (and sometimes twisted) goals. Nero, the Roman emperor who beat his pregnant wife to death and has been suspected of instigating the great fire of Rome in an attempt to boost his own political influence. Henry VIII of England, for whom women were beheaded for not bearing him a son, and who is rumored to have eaten eight chickens a night while English peasants starved. The notorious Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, who carried out the Spanish Inquisition. The list is endless. Even in literature, we see the corruption and downfall of society and mankind as a whole as a result of the abuse of success in the possession of those who do not deserve it, as seen in William Shakespeare’s tragedy of King Lear. In the story, societal order is replaced with chaos when there is a power shift from Lear to his evil daughters, Regan and Goneril. This order only returns to a slight degree when virtue (in the form of Lear’s good daughter, Cordelia) returns to England. Success is hazardous when awarded to the unvirtuous.However, there may be those who are not necessarily evil of greedy in their pursuits, but merely do not know how to handle success. This proves to be just more disastrous to the individual than to anyone else, since it is the individual who will then sabotage his own success to return to his former comfort zone. Success is meant to be grown upon, not exploited or feared.Success, when achieved by the unworthy or inexperienced, is a most disastrous element. Success is not about being happy at the expense of those about you –it is about u sing one’s newly gained happiness to improve the lives of others. If one reflects on the wise words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, one will never go astray: “To know that one person has breathed easier because you have lived -this is to have succeeded.”Section 31ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. A "symbol" stands for or suggests something else by reason of association. Often an invisible idea is represented by a visible person or artifact. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as a symbol of the totalitarian regime and swiftly toppled the monument." Statues or monuments frequently symbolize the governance of the political figures or regimes they depict. Such symbolization in the minds of the rebels would explain their impulse to destroy it.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. An "indictment" is an expression of strong disapproval. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as an indictment of the totalitarian regime and swiftly toppled the monument." If the rebels thought the statue represented a disapproval of the regime they would be more likely to preserve than destroy it.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. An "illusion" is a misleading image. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as an illusion of the totalitarian regime andswiftly toppled the monument." It could be possible that the rebels saw the statue as a misleading image of the regime, but the sentence does not clearly support or explain such an interpretation.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. A "copy" is an imitation. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as a copy of the totalitarian regime and swiftly toppled the monument." It is illogical to say that a statue of a dictator is an imitation of a regime.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. A "mockery" is an insulting action or speech. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "The rebels saw the huge statue of the dictator as a mockery of the totalitarian regime and swiftly toppled the monument." If the rebels thought the statue was insulting the regime, they would be more likely to preserve than destroy it.2ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. "Adept" means highly skillful. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most adept sailors." It makes sense to say that those who had mastered the art of navigation became adept, or highly skilled, sailors.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. "Temperamental" means unpredictable in behavior. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most temperamental sailors." That the islanders were masters of navigation would probably mean that they did not behave unpredictably.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Congeniality" means friendliness. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most congenial sailors." Masters of navigation are not necessarily friendly sailors.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. "Vulnerable" means open to attack or injury. If this term were inserted into text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most vulnerable sailors." Master navigators would likely be less open to injury or attack than other, less experienced sailors.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. "Reclusive" means withdrawn or preferring solitude. If one were to insert this term into the text, the sentence would read "Residents of the isolated island were forced to master the art of navigation, becoming the ocean's most reclusive sailors." While living on an isolated island might cause the sailors to prefer solitude, reclusivity does not describe their mastery of sea travel.3ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer B :Choice (B) is correct. "Penchant" means an inclination, and "to pilfer" means to steal. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a penchant for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to pilfer cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." In this sentence, the statement following the colon expands on what precedes it. Describing how bowerbirds steal objects from homes expands on the idea that they tend to amass bright shiny objects for their bower.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. "Knack" means a skillful ability, and "to assess" means to evaluate. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a knack for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to assess cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." Although a bowerbird may be skillful at gathering shiny objects, it is unlikely that the bird would enter a house simply to assess, or evaluate, the objects found in a house, without then stealing them.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Purpose" means a reason, and "to dispense" means to distribute or get rid of. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a purpose for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to dispense cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." Although a bowerbird may have a reason for amassing shiny objects, it would enter a house to find objects, not get rid of them.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. A "predilection" is a preference, and "to disturb" means to disrupt or unsettle. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a predilection for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to disturb cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." If a bowerbird had a predilection, or preference, for gathering shiny objects, the bird wouldn’t enter a house simply to disturb the objects found there; it would want to gather them.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. A "remedy" is a cure, and "to raid" means to loot or plunder. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "The spotted bowerbird has a remedy for amassing the bright shiny objects it needs for decorating its bower: it will enter houses to raid cutlery, coins, thimbles, nails, screws, even car keys." Although a bowerbird may enter a house to raid shiny objects, it doesn’t make sense to say that the bird has a remedy, or cure, for amassing shiny objects.4ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. "Inseparable from" means incapable of being separated, and "legitimacy" means conforming to socially accepted standards. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science of Hildegard of Bingen inseparable from her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works legitimacy by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." The "Not only. . . but" construction indicates that the second clause of the sentence will be consistent with, and may extend the meaning of, the first clause. It makes sense that the support of the influential medieval church for theologically based scientific works would provide her works with legitimacy.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. "Unconcerned with" means not related to, and "prestige" means high social respect or regard. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science ofHildegard of Bingen unconcerned with her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works prestige by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." If the support of the church won her scientific work high social regard, then it would likely be related to theology.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Derived from" means to come from another place of origin, and "profundity" means depth of meaning. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science of Hildegard of Bingen derived from her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works profundity by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." Although her science may have been derived from her theology, it doesn't follow that the church's support would make her work more profound.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. "Related to" means connected with, and "accuracy" means correctness. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science of Hildegard of Bingen related to her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works accuracy by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." Although her science may have been related to her theology, it doesn't follow that the church's support would make her work more accurate.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. "Diminished by" means lessened by or weakened, and "detachment" means objectivity. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Not only was the science of Hildegard of Bingen diminished by her theology, but her religious visions helped give her scientific works detachment by winning her the support of medieval church authorities." Although her scientific work could have been weakened by her theology, it doesn't make sense to say that her visions or the church's support gave her scientific works objectivity. It is more likely that such support would weaken her work's objectivity.5ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. "Elitist" means favoring a small, high-status group, and "perquisites" are privileges. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it an elitist anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have perquisites rivaling those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility." A research institute that provides perquisites, or privileges, that are so excessive that they rival those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility can appropriately be called elitist, or favoring a small, high-status group.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. "Monarchical" means pertaining to a king, and "tribulations" are sufferings. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it a monarchical anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have tribulations rivaling those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility." The pre-Revolutionary French nobility were not known for their suffering, and it is unlikely that the opponents of the research institute would criticize the institute's scholars for having tribulations, or sufferings.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Irreproachable" means faultless, and "luxuries" are extravagant comforts. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it an irreproachable anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have luxuries rivaling those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility." Opponents of an institution would not call it faultless and would criticize the institution for lavishing luxuries on its scholars.Choice (D) is incorrect. "Reprehensible" means deserving blame, and "afflictions" are sufferings. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it a reprehensible anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have afflictions rivaling those of pre-Revolutionary French nobility." Although opponents might label the institute reprehensible, or blameworthy, they would not be likely to criticize the institute's scholars for having afflictions, or sufferings. Furthermore, thepre-Revolutionary nobility were not known for their suffering.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. "Commendable" means praiseworthy, and "privileges" are deserved rights or luxuries. If one were to insert these terms into the text, the sentence would read "Opponents of the research institute label it a commendable anachronism; its scholars, they allege, have privileges rivaling those ofpre-Revolutionary French nobility." Opponents who accuse the institute of providing excessive privileges would not characterize it as commendable, or praiseworthy.6ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer C :Choice (C) is correct. While the author of Passage 2 is critical of Linnaeus’ legacy, the autho r of Passage 1 expresses appreciation of his contribution to natural history, describing it as "enormous and essential." Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. The author of Passage 1 does not regard Linnaeus with "cynicism," or scornful distrust. On the contrary, the passage expresses great respect for his significant contribution to science. Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. Neither author expresses any "bafflement," or confusion, regarding Linnaeus or the historical role he played in the field of science.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. The author of Passage 1 does not express "nostalgia," or bittersweet longing, for Linnaeus or for the era in which he lived.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. While Passage 1 asserts that scientists misused the system of classification, there is no suggestion that the author feels "resentful" of, or personally wronged by, Linnaeus.7ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. Unlike Passage 1, Passage 2 uses a first-person narrative voice that openly expresses the author’s "wariness" regarding Linnaeus' contribution to natural science.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Specific scientific facts do not appear in either passage.Choice (B) is incorrect. Neither writer uses "literary allusion," or an indirect reference to a work of literature. Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. It is Passage 1, not Passage 2, that includes historical background information on Linnaeus and on the role that classificatory systems have played in science.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. Neither passage uses "direct citations."8ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. Although the two authors judge Linnaeus’ work differently, they agree that his classificatory system has had a great influence on the field of natural science.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. The author of Passage 2 claims that Linnaeus’ system limits modern human understanding of the natural world, but the author of Passage 1 does not mention science after the nineteenth century.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. Neither passage implies that interest in biology was declining or that Linnaeus’ work renewed curiosity in the field.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. These passages do not discuss the classification system’s ability to resolve disagreements within the scientific community. On the contrary, the author of Passage 2 writes about Linnaeus' work to raise, not settle, questions regarding the validity of classification.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. Neither passage refers to scientific discoveries that may have laid the foundation for Linnaeus' famous system.9ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. The author of Passage 1 argues that unlike his followers, Linnaeus probably saw his system of classification as a tool, not the goal, of science. The author of Passage 2 does not make this distinction.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Neither author implies that Linnaeus has not received enough recognition as a scientist. Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. Lines 12-17 intimate that the impact of Linnaeus' system was not entirely advantageous, but this section of Passage 2 does not dismiss the contributions of scientists who have integrated his work into their own.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. The author of Passage 2 does "not dispute the value of" classification, but argues that Linnaeus' system has had a negative impact on "humans' relationship to the world."Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. Both authors agree th at Linnaeus’ most notable contribution to natural history was his system of classifying plant and animal life.10ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer B :Choice (B) is correct. It makes sense to say that the residents of Macondo needed "time and effort" to grow accustomed to a "persistent," or insistently continuous, noise.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. It would be illogical to call a noise emanating from a light bulb "enthusiastic." Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. "Obvious" does not describe a noise that requires time and effort to get used to hearing. Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. In this context, "obsessive" is not used to indicate infatuation, or short-lived passion. Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. An electric generator plant may be called "hardworking." Such a term, however, does not describe a noise that takes time and effort to become used to hearing.11ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer C :Choice (C) is correct. After paying to "share the difficulties" of the on-screen characters, the citizens felt cheated to discover that they were only actors, not real people deserving of their sympathy.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Although each person paid two cents for admission, nothing in the passage indicates that this charge was either excessive or the cause of their anger.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. The audience was not angered by the on-screen adventures themselves, but rather by the fact that those events had not actually occurred.Choice (D) is incorrect. The public seemed to enjoy commiserating with characters who had fallen on hard times. The citizens were only upset to discover that they had felt real emotion on behalf of actors who were only pretending.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The public was not angered because the plots were "implausible," or unlikely, but rather because they were untrue.12ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. The phonograph, an early record player, intially intrigued the citizens of Macondo.They were eventually disappointed to learn, however, that the device was mechanical, not magical, and therefore lacking in the "moving" and "human" qualities of a live musicians.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. Nothing in the passage indicates that phonographs required any special skill to operate. Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. The passage implies that the machines were, in fact, frequently and closely observed by curious citizens on the street where they were sold.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. Although the phonograph dampened citizens' enthusiasm for live music "for a time," they did not abandon the invention because musicians were suffering. Rather, they tired of the machines because they eventually concluded that recorded music was inferior to live music.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The passage is clear that it was only after the adults of Macondo had rejected the foreign record players that children were permitted to amuse themselves by dismantling them.13ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. The citizens found the telephone disturbing because of all the new machines that strained people's ability to discern "the limits of reality"; the telephone ran most counter to what they had always thought about the natural world.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. The citizens were not upset by the origin of the telephone, but by how it forced them to reevaluate their ideas about the world.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect.The passage does not discuss the social implications of the telephone.Choice (C) is incorrect. The citizens’ anxiety about the telephone was not related to their fears concerning the village’s daily life, but to their overall understanding of reality.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The passage does not address the telephone’s potential effect on the job market in Macondo.14ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer C :Choice (C) is correct. The passage suggests that the citizens of Maconda are stuck in a cycle of "disappointment, doubt and revelation." They welcome new inventions with wonder and awe before rejecting them for being less "marvelous" and "enchanted" than they seemed.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Both the telephone and phonograph were operated with a crank, or turning handle, but that feature is not related to the citizens’ disappointment.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. At no point in the passage does the educational value of these inventions come into play.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. The townspeople are not concerned by the fact that the film projector and phonograph were created to entertain, and it can be argued that the light bulb and telephone are not meant for entertainment at all.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The machines were not necessarily hard to operate, and the passage suggests that the people were disappointed with them for other reasons.15ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer D :Choice (D) is correct. The passage mainly deals with the "influx," or arrival, of technological inventions in Macondo and the citizen's mixed reactions to them.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Although the passage implies that the "respectable" citizens of Maconda did not typically mingle with members of the working class, the main purpose of the passage is not to make a statement about class relations within the town.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. Although the passage describes new inventions, it does so in order to make a larger point about the way they were received among the people of Macondo.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. The main purpose of the passage is not to show how different people had a common reaction to something "magical," but to illustrate how they responded to new technologies.Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The passage’s purpose is not to "delineate," or describe, ideas about nature triumphing over technology. Rather, its purpose is to explain how the people of Macondo responded to new technologies. 16ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer A :Choice (A) is correct. An admission of a lack of expertise is a disclaimer; a statement is an assertion. In the first sentence, the author admits to a lack of certain kinds of expertise; in the second sentence, the author states an opinion about Martha Graham's work.Explanation for Incorrect Answer B :Choice (B) is incorrect. No one is invoked, or appealed to, in the first sentence, and the second sentence does not define anything.Explanation for Incorrect Answer C :Choice (C) is incorrect. In the first sentence the author admits to a lack of expertise but not in an apologetic way; the second sentence is an assertion but not a confession.Explanation for Incorrect Answer D :Choice (D) is incorrect. To say that the first sentence is a statement of authority doesn't make any sense, and the second sentence is a statement of opinion but not a hypothesis, or a basis for experimental investigation. Explanation for Incorrect Answer E :Choice (E) is incorrect. The first sentence does not rebut, or challenge, anyone else's argument, and while the second sentence is an introduction to the analysis that follows in the passage, it is not itself an analysis.17ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONSExplanation for Correct Answer B :Choice (B) is correct. The author uses the statement in discussing Graham's "instincts of a mathematician or physicist" in her approach to choreography. The quoted phrase is part of a statement that expands on an earlier point about Graham's approach to line and direction in dance, which the author of the passage believes is both mathematical and emotional.Explanation for Incorrect Answer A :Choice (A) is incorrect. Although the author does suggest that Graham sought to produce emotional effects through the use of line, there is no indication that those effects were intended to be spectacular.。

剑桥雅思阅读6真题分析
剑桥雅思阅读6真题分析剑桥雅思阅读6真题文章：Motivating employees under adverse conditionsIt is a great deal easier to motivate employees in a growing organisation than a declining one. When organisations are expanding and adding personnel, promotional opportunities, pay rises, and the excitement of being associated with a dynamic organisation create feelings of optimism. Management is able to use the growth to entice and encourage employees. When an organisation is shrinking, the best and most mobile workers are prone to leave voluntarily. Unfortunately, they are the ones the organisation can least afford to lose - those with the highest skills and experience. The minor employees remain because their job options are limited.Morale also suffers during decline. People fear they may be the next to be made redundant. Productivity often suffers, as employees spend their time sharing rumours and providing one another with moral support rather than focusing on their jobs. For those whose jobs are secure, pay increases are rarely possible. Pay cuts, unheard of during times of growth, may even be imposed. The challenge to management is how to motivate employees under such retrenchment conditions. The ways of meeting this challenge can be broadly divided into six Key Points, which are outlined below.剑桥雅思阅读6真题解析：1.motivate 激发，鼓励2.adverse 不利地an adverse impact on(相当于negative impact on) 对...有负面的影响3.personnel 职员4.expand 膨胀，扩张例：The international trade is expanding at a starling pace。

并且对范文进行完整的分解，点出范文亮点，供考生学习模仿。
一起看看小编带来的雅思OG写作Test6 Task1解析。
小马过河为考生做了雅思 OG写作Test6 Task1的解析：雅思OG写作审题要领(Task focus)这篇小作文是一张线形图(line chart),显示了2003-2012 年,发生在纽波特中心城区三种犯罪事件发生率的变化。
考生需要提取并总结主要信息,同时做出相关对比。
从图表信息我们可以看到,纵轴显示了事件的数量(number of incidents),横轴表示从 2003-2012 的时间发展。
三个犯罪事件分别是入室盗窃 (burglary)、车辆盗窃(car theft)和人身抢劫(robbery)。
雅思OG写作写作思路(Thinking before writing)考生需要在 150 字之内对图表里的信息进行概括,有侧重的描写主要特征,必要时选择适当省略。
我们要特别注意这张线形图中突出的以及变化的信息。
比较突出的信息是:在 2003 年,入室盗窃的犯罪率最高, 其次是车辆盗窃,人身抢劫的比率最低。
但是到了 2012 年,车辆盗窃成了发生率最高的犯罪事件,人身抢劫的发生率仍然最低。
变化最明显的信息是:从 2003 到 2012 年,变化最大的是入室盗窃率,总体呈大幅下降的趋势。
变化最小的是人身抢劫,其犯罪率一直处在比较低的范围。
根据所获得的信息,推荐的写法是将主体段分为三段,分别描写三种犯罪形式的变化情况,这是比较理想的行文方式,结构清晰,且便于进行内容之间的比较。
雅思OG写作范文演示(Sample analysis)Model ResponseThis graph illustrates how crime rates altered in Newport inner city during the period2003-2012. We can see immediately that the greatest change occurred in the number of burglaries, while incidentsof theft remained low but steady.In 2003, we can see that burglary was the most common crime, with approximately 3,400 reported cases. The figure rose to around 3,700 in 2004, but then there was a downward trend until 2008. At this point the figure stood at justover 1,000 incidents. This rose slightly in 2009, then continued to fluctuate for the remaining period.In 2003, the number of cars being stolen stood at around 2,800 and followed a similar trend to burglary until 2006. Atthis point the number rose, standing at around 2,200 in 2007. There was a marginal decrease in the following year, but from then on, the trend was generally upwards.Finally, robbery has always been a fairly minor problem for Newport. The number of offences committed changed little over nine years. It is interesting to note that the figure of approximately 700 in 2003 is the same figure for 2012.

tpo6阅读答案(汇总5篇)
tpo6阅读答案（汇总5篇）tpo6阅读答案第1篇What purpose does paragraph 2 serve in the larger discussion of children's inability to recall early experiences?○To argue that theories that are not substantiated by evidence should generally be considered unreliable○To argue that the hypotheses mentioned in paragraph 2 have been more thoroughly researched than have the theories mentioned later in the passage○To explain why some theories about infantile amnesia are wrong before presenting ones more likely to be true ○To explain why infantile amnesia is of great interest to researchersThe word "plausible" in the passage is closest in meaning to ○flexible○believable○debatable○predictableThe word "phenomenon" in the passage is closest in meaning to ○exception○repetition○occurrence○ideaAll of the following theories about the inability to recall early experiences are rejected in paragraph 2 EXCEPT: ○The ability to recall an event decreases as the time after the event○Young children are not capable of forming memories that last for more than a short○People may hold back sexually meaningful○Most events in childhood are too ordinary to be worthParagraph 3: Three other explanations seem more One involves physiological changes relevant to Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain continues throughout early childhood, and this part of the brain may be critical for remembering particular episodes in ways that can be retrieved Demonstrations of infants' and toddlers' long-term memory have involved their repeating motor activities that they had seen or done earlier, such as reaching inthe dark for objects, putting a bottle in a doll's mouth, or pulling apart two pieces of a The brain's level of physiological maturation may support these types of memories, but not ones requiring explicit verbalWhat does paragraph 3 suggest about long-term memory in children?○Maturation of the frontal lobes of the brain is important for the long-term memory of motor activities but not verbal ○Young children may form long-term memories of actions they see earlier than of things they hear or are○Young children have better long-term recall of short verbal exchanges than of long○Children's long-term recall of motor activities increases when such activities are accompanied by explicit verbalParagraph 4: A second explanation involves the influence of the social world on children's language Hearing and telling stories about events may help children store information in ways that will endure into later childhood and Through hearing stories with a clear beginning, middle, and ending children may learn to extract the gist of events in ways that they will be able to describe manyyears Consistent with this view, parents and children increasingly engage in discussions of past events when children are about three years However, hearing such stories is not sufficient for younger children to form enduring Telling such stories to two year olds does not seem to produce long-lasting verbalizableto paragraph 4, what role may storytelling play in forming childhood memories?○It may encourage the physiological maturing of the○It may help preschool children tell the difference between ordinary and unusual○It may help preschool children retrieve memories○It may provide an ordered structure that facilitates memory Paragraph 5: A third likely explanation for infantile amnesia involves incompatibilities between the ways in which infants encode information and the ways in which older children and adults retrieve Whether people can remember an event depends critically on the fit between the way in which they earlier encoded the information and the way in which they later attempt to retrieve The better able the person is to reconstruct the perspective from which the material was encoded, the more likely that recall will beThe word "critically" in the passage is closest in meaning to ○ fundamentally○ partially○ consistently○ subsequentlyThe word "perspective" in the passage is closest in meaning to○ system○ theory○ source○ viewpointParagraph 6: This view is supported by a variety of factors that can create mismatches between very young children's encoding and older children's and adults' retrieval The world looks very different to a person whose head is only two or three feet above the ground than to one whose head is five or six feet above Older children and adults often try to retrieve the names of things they saw, but infants would not have encoded the information General knowledge of categories of events such as a birthday party or a visit to the doctor's office helps older individuals encode theirexperiences, but again, infants and toddlers are unlikely to encode many experiences within such knowledgeThe phrase "This view" in the passage refers to the belief that ○ the ability to retrieve a memory partly depends on the similarity between the encoding and retrieving process ○ the process of encoding information is less complex for adults than it is for young adults and infants○infants and older children are equally dependent on discussion of past events for the retrieval of information ○ infants encode information in the same way older children and adults doAccording to paragraphs 5 and 6, one disadvantage very young children face in processing information is that they cannot ○ process a lot of information at one time○ organize experiences according to type○ block out interruptions○ interpret the tone of adult languageParagraph 7: These three explanations of infantile amnesia are not mutually exclusive; indeed, they support each Physiological immaturity may be part of why infants and toddlers do not formextremely enduring memories, even when they hear stories that promote such remembering in Hearing the stories may lead preschoolers to encode aspects of events that allow them to form memories they can access as Conversely, improved encoding of what they hear may help them better understand and remember stories and thus make the stories more useful for remembering future Thus, all three explanations-physiological maturation, hearing and producing stories about past events, and improved encoding of key aspects of events-seem likely to be involved in overcoming infantileWhich of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential ○ Incomplete physiological development may partly explain why hearing stories does not improve long-term memory in infants and ○ One reason why preschoolers fail to comprehend the stories they hear is that they are physiologically○ Given the chance to hear stories, infants and toddlers may form enduring memories despite physiological○ Physiologically mature children seem to have no difficultyremembering stories they heard asHow does paragraph 7 relate to the earlier discussion of infantile amnesia?○It introduces a new theory about the causes of infantile ○It argues that particular theories discussed earlier in the passage require further○It explains how particular theories discussed earlier in the passage may work in○It evaluates which of the theories discussed earlier is most likely to beParagraph 1: What do you remember about your life before you were three? █Few people can remember anything that happened to them in their early █Adults' memories of the next few years also tend to be █Most people remember only a few events-usually ones that were meaningful and distinctive, such as being hospitalized or a sibling's █at the four squares [█] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passageOther important occasions are school graduations andWhere would the sentence best fit?Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the Some sentences do not belong in the summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the This question is worth 2There are several possible explanations why people cannot easily remember their early●●●Answer Choices○Preschoolers typically do not recall events from their first ○Frontal lobe function of the brain may need to develop before memory retrieval can○Children recall physical activities more easily if they are ○The opportunity to hear chronologically narrated stories may help three-year-old children produce long-lasting○The content of a memory determines the way in which it is ○The contrasting ways in which young children and adultsprocess information may determine their relative success in rememberingtpo6阅读答案第2篇Powering the Industrial RevolutionIn Britain one of the most dramatic changes of the Industrial Revolution was the harnessing of Until the reign of George Ⅲ(1760-1820), available sources of power for work and travel had not increased since the Middle There were three sources of power: animal or human muscles;

雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案解析六
雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案解析六1. A European spacecraft took off today to spearhead the search for another "Earth" among the stars.2. The Corot space telescope blasted off aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan shortly after 2.20pm.3. Corot, short for convection rotation and planetary transits, is the first instrument capable of finding small rocky planets beyond the solar system. Any such planet situated in the right orbit stands a good chance of having liquid water on its surface, and quite possibly life, although a leading scientist involved in the project said it was unlikely to find "any little green men".4. Developed by the French space agency, CNES, and partnered by the European Space Agency (ESA), Austria, Belgium, Germany, Brazil and Spain, Corot will monitor around 120,000 stars with its 27cm telescope from a polar orbit 514 miles above the Earth. Over two and a half years, it will focus on five to six different areas of the sky, measuring the brightness of about 10,000 stars every 512 seconds.5. "At the present moment we are hoping to find out more about the nature of planets around stars which are potential habitats. We are looking at habitable planets, not inhabited planets. We are not going to find any little green men," Professor Ian Roxburgh, an ESA scientist who has been involved with Corot since its inception, told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.6. Prof Roxburgh said it was hoped Corot would find "rocky planets that could develop an atmosphere and, if they are the right distance from their parent star, they could have water".7. To search for planets, the telescope will look for the dimming of starlight caused when an object passes in front of a star, known as a "transit". Although it will take more sophisticated space telescopes planned in the next 10 years上一篇英语：雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案下一篇英语：没有了查看更多关于雅思模拟题的文章网友同时还浏览了：雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案Now you knowNew weapon to fight cancerNext Year MarksSun s fickle heartWashingto confirm the presence of an Earth-like planet with oxygen and liquid water, Corot will let scientists know where to point their lenses.8. Measurements of minute changes in brightness will enable scientists to detect giant Jupiter-like gas planets as well as small rocky ones. It is the rocky planets - that could be no bigger than about twice the size of the Earth - which will cause the most excitement. Scientists expect to find between 10 and 40 of these smaller planets.9. Corot will also probe into stellar interiors by studying the acoustic waves that ripple across the surface of stars, a technique called "asteroseismology".10. The nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate a star’s precise mass, age and chemical composition.11. "A planet passing in front of a star can be detected by the fall in light from that star. Smalloscillations of the star also produce changes in the light emitted, which reveal what the star is made of and how they are structured internally. This data will provide a major boost to our understanding of how stars form and evolve," Prof Roxburgh said.12. Since the discovery in 1995 of the first "exoplanet" - a planet orbiting a star other than the Sun - more than 200 others have been found by ground-based observatories.13. Until now the usual method of finding exoplanets has been to detect the "wobble" their gravity imparts on parent stars. But only giant gaseous planets bigger than Jupiter can be found this way, and they are unlikely to harbour life.14. In the 2010s, ESA plans to launch Darwin, a fleet of four or five interlinked space telescopes that will not only spot small rocky planets, but analyse their atmospheres for signs of biological activity.15. At around the same time, the US space agency, Nasa, wi上一篇英语：雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案下一篇英语：没有了查看更多关于雅思模拟题的文章网友同时还浏览了：雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案Now you knowNew weapon to fight cancerNext Year MarksSun s fickle heartWashingll launch Terrestrial Planet Finder, another space telescope designed to locate Earth-like planets.

下面是雅思剑12阅读真题Test6Passage1练习题和解析，供大家练习。
雅思剑12阅读真题Test6Passage1原文及题目READING PASSAGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.The risks agriculture faces in developing countriesSynthesis of an online debateA Two things distinguish food production from all other productive activities: first, every single person needs food each day and has a right to it; and second, it is hugely dependent on nature. These two unique aspects, one political, the other natural, make food production highly vulnerable and different from any other business. At the same time, cultural values are highly entrenched in food and agricultural systems worldwide.B Farmers everywhere face major risks, including extreme weather, long-term climate change, and price volatility in input and product markets. However, smallholder farmers in developing countries must in addition deal with adverse environments, both natural, in terms of soil quality, rainfall, etc., and human, in terms of infrastructure, financial systems, markets, knowledge and technology. Counter-intuitively, hunger is prevalent among many smallholder farmers in the developing world.C Participants in the online debate argued that our biggest challenge is to address the underlying causes of the agricultural system’s inability to ensure sufficient food for all, and they identified as drivers of this problem our dependency on fossil fuels and unsupportive government policies.D On the question of mitigating the risks farmers face, most essayists called for greater state intervention. In his essay, Kanayo F. Nwanze, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, argued that governments can significantly reduce risks for farmers by providing basic services like roads to get produce more efficiently to markets, or water and food storage facilities to reduce losses. Sophia Murphy, senior advisor to the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, suggested that the procurement and holding of stocks by governments can also help mitigate wild swings in food prices by alleviating uncertainties about market supply._he personal names in the text refer to the authors of written contributions to the online debate.E Shenggen Fan, Director General of the International Food Policy Research Institute, held up social safety nets and public welfare programmes in Ethiopia, Brazil and Mexico as valuable ways to address poverty among farming families and reduce their vulnerability to agriculture shocks. However, some commentators responded that cash transfers to poor families do not necessarily translate into increased food security, as these programmes do not always strengthen food production or raiseincomes. Regarding state subsidies for agriculture, Rokeya Kabir, Executive Director of Bangladesh Nari Progati Sangha, commented in her essay that these ‘have not compensated for the stranglehold exercised by private traders. In fact, studies show that sixty percent of beneficiaries of subsidies are not poor, but rich landowners and non-farmer traders.’F Nwanze, Murphy and Fan argued that private risk management tools, like private insurance, commodity futures markets, and rural finance can help small-scale producers mitigate risk and allow for investment in improvements. Kabir warned that financial support schemes often encourage the adoption of high-input agricultural practices, which in the medium term may raise production costs beyond the value of their harvests. Murphy noted that when futures markets become excessively financialised they can contribute to short-term price volatility, which increases farmers’ food insecurity. Many participants and commentators emphasised that greater transparency in markets is needed to mitigate the impact of volatility, and make evident whether adequate stocks and supplies are available. Others contended that agribusiness companies should be held responsible for paying for negative side effects.G Many essayists mentioned climate change and its consequences forsmall-scale agriculture. Fan explained that ‘in addition to reducing crop yields, climate change increases the magnitude and the frequency of extreme weather events, which increase smallholder vulnerability.’ The growing unpredictability of weather patterns increases farmers’ difficulty in managing weather-related risks. According to this author, one solution would be to develop crop varieties that are more resilient to new climate trends and extreme weather patterns. Accordingly, Pat Mooney,co-founder and executive director of the ETC Group, suggested that ‘if we are to survive climate change, we must adopt policies that let peasants diversify the plant and animal species and varieties/breeds that make up our menus.’H Some participating authors and commentators argued in favour of community-based and autonomous risk management strategies through collective action groups, co-operatives or producers’ groups. Such groups enhance market opportunities for small-scale producers, reduce marketing costs and synchronise buying and selling with seasonal price conditions. According to Murphy, ‘collective action offers an important way for farmers to strengthen their political and economic bargaining power, and to reduce their business risks.’ One commentator, Giel Ton, warned that collective action does not come as a free good. It takes time, effort and money to organise, build trust and to experiment. Others, like Marcel Vernooij and Marcel Beukeboom, suggested that in order to ‘apply what we already know’, all stakeholders, including business, government, scientists and civil society, must work together, starting at the beginning of the value chain.I Some participants explained that market price volatility is often worsened by the presence of intermediary purchasers who, taking advantage of farmers’ vulnerability, dictate prices. One commentator suggested farmers can gain greater control over prices and minimise price volatility by selling directly to consumers. Similarly, Sonali Bisht, founder and advisor to the Institute of HimalayanEnvironmental Research and Education (INHERE), India, wrote thatcommunity-supported agriculture, where consumers invest in local farmers by subscription and guarantee producers a fair price, is a risk-sharing model worth more attention. Direct food distribution systems not only encourage small-scale agriculture but also give consumers more control over the food they consume, she wrote.List of PeopleA Kanayo F.

雅思(阅读)历年真题试卷汇编6(题后含答案及解析)
雅思（阅读）历年真题试卷汇编6(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.The Sweet Scent of SuccessMany innovations end up as lemons —OzKleen turned lemons into a winning formula.A Innovation and entrepreneurship, in the right mix, can bring spectacular results and propel a business ahead of the pack. Across a diverse range of commercial successes, from the Hills Hoist clothes line to the Cochlear ear implant, it is hard to generalize beyond saying the creators tapped into something consumers could not wait to get their hands on. However, most ideas never make it to the market. Some ideas that innovators are spruiking to potential investors include new water-saving shower heads, a keyless locking system, ping-pong balls that keep pollution out of rainwater tanks, making teeth grow from stem cells inserted in the gum, and technology to stop LPG tanks from exploding. Grant Kearney, chief executive of the Innovation Xchange, which connects businesses to innovation networks, says he hears of great business ideas that he knows will never get on the market. “Ideas by themselves are absolutely useless,”he says. “An idea only becomes innovation when it is connected to the right resources and capabilities.”B One of Australia’s latest innovation successes stems from a lemon-scented bathroom cleaner called Shower Power, the formula for which was concocted in a factory in Yatala, Queensland. In 1995, Tom Quinn and John Heron bought a struggling cleaning products business, OzKleen, for 250,000. It was selling 100 different kinds of cleaning products, mainly in bulk. The business was in bad shape, the cleaning formulas were ineffective and environmentally harsh, and there were few regular clients. Now Shower Power is claimed to be the top-selling bathroom cleaning product in the country. In the past 12 months, almost four million bottles of OzKleen’s Power products have been sold and the company forecasts 2004 sales of 10 million bottles. The company’s sales in 2003 reached $11 million, with 70% of business being exports. In particular, Shower Power is making big inroads on the British market.C OzKleen’s turnaround began when Quinn and Heron hired an industrial che-mist to revitalize the product line. Market research showed that people were looking for a better cleaner for the bathroom, universally regarded as the hardest room in the home to clean. The company also wanted to make the[product formulas more environmentally friendly. One of Tom Quinn’s sons, Peter, aged 24 at the time, began working with the chemist on the formulas, looking at the potential for citrus-based cleaning products. He detested all the chlorine-based cleaning products that dominated the market. “We didn’t want to use chlorine, simple as that,” he says. “It offers bad working conditions and there’s no money in it.” Peter looked at citrus ingredients, such as orange peel, to replace the petroleum by-products in cleaners. He is credited with finding the Shower Power formula. “The recipe is in a vault somewhere and in my head,”he says. The company is the sole owner of theintellectual property.D To begin with, Shower Power was sold only in commercial quantities but Tom Quinn decided to sell it in 750ml bottles after the constant “raves”from customers at their retail store at Beenleigh, near Brisbane. Customers were travelling long distances to buy supplies. Others began writing to OzKleen to say how good Shower Power was. “We did a dummy label and went to see Wool-worths,” Tom Quinn says. The Woolworths buyer took a bottle home and was I able to remove a stain from her basin that had been impossible to shift. From that point on, she championed the product and OzKleen had its first supermarket order, for a palette of Shower Power worth $3000. “We were over the moon,”says OzKleen’s financial controller, Belinda McDonnell.E Shower Power was released in Australian supermarkets in 1997 and became the top-selling product in its category within six months. It was all hands on deck at the factory, labeling and bottling Shower Power to keep up with demand. OzKleen ditched all other products and rebuilt the business around Shower Power. This stage, recalls McDonnell, was very tough. “It was hand-to-mouth, cashflow was very difficult,” she says. OzKleen had to pay new-line fees to supermarket chains, which also squeezed margins.F OzKleen’s next big break came when the daughter of a Coles Myer executive used the product while on holidays in Queensland and convinced her father that Shower Power should be in Coles supermarkets. Despite the product success, Peter Quinn says the company was wary of how long the sales would last and hesitate to spend money on upgrading the manufacturing process. As a result, he remembers long periods of working around the clock to keep up with orders. Small tanks were still being used so batches were small and bottles were labeled and filled manually. The privately owned OzKleen relied on cashflow to expand. “The equipment could not keep up with demand,” Peter Quinn says. Eventually a new bottling machine was bought for $50,000 in the hope of streamlining production, but he says: “We got ripped off.”Since then he has been developing a new automated bottling machine that can control the amount of foam produced in the liquid, so that bottles can be filled more effectively —“I love coming up with new ideas.”The machine is being patented.G Peter Quinn says OzKleen’s approach to research and development is open slather. “If I need it, I get it. It is about doing something simple that no one else is doing. Most of these things are jus sitting in front of people ... it’s just seeing the opportunities.”With a tried and tested product, OzKleen is expanding overseas and developing more Power-brand household products. Tom Quinn, who previously ran a real estate agency, says: “We are competing with the same market all over the world, the(cleaning)products are sold everywhere.”Shower Power, known as Bath Power in Britain, was launched four years ago with the help of an export development grand from the Federal Government. “We wanted to do it straight away because we realized we had the same opportunities worldwide.” OzKleen is already number three in the British market, and the next stop is France. The Power range includes cleaning products for carpets, kitchens and pre-wash stain removal. The Quinn and Heron families are still involved. OzKleen has been approached with offers to buy the company, but Tom Quinn says he is happy with things as they are. “We’re having too much fun.”Questions 1-7Reading Passage 1 has seven paragraphs A-G.Which paragraph contains the followinginformation?Write the correct letter A-G in boxes 1-7 on your answer sheet.1．The description of one family member persuading another of selling cleaning products正确答案：F解析：利用反向思维词“one family member”推测原文对应信息应该出现“familymember”对应的下位词，例如father,mother,brother等。

内容简介《剑桥雅思官方指南》又名雅思og，是今年最新出版的雅思官方用书。
这本书被许多从事雅思培训行业的老师，以及广大的“烤鸭”们视为剑桥大学考试委员会的一次破冰之举，一改以往雅思官方教材只有真题集，没有官方指导的尴尬局面。
sss科学六十秒(六十-second science),,sss只有一分钟，但是语速快，信息量大。
最重要的是，常作为托福考试听力出题的重要来源。
初听者会觉得这就是在磨耳朵，但同样很多朋友反映听多了sss之后觉得tpo非常拖节奏，很慢，甚至听到想睡觉。
适应了sss的语速，再听托福的语速可以说是慢到让你觉得不耐烦。
