There will be time for you to read the instructions and you will have a chance to check your answers. The test is in four sections. Record all your answers in your test book and at the end of the test you will be given 10 minutes to transfer your answers to a special answer sheet.Now turn to Section 1.____________Section 1——————You will hear a policeman giving a talk to some students. First you will have some time to look at questions 1 to 6 (pause for 30 seconds).You will see that there has been an example written for you. On this occasion only the conversation relating to the example will be played first (listen to example).Sergeant Brown is going to speak about safety, so answer B has been circled on the question page.Now we will begin. You should answer the questions as you listen, as you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen to the talk carefully and answer questions 1 to 6. [Mr Fogarty:] ... and so I'd like to hand you over now to Sergeant Brown. Thank you. [Sergeant Brown:]Thank you, Mr Fogarty. Er, yes, as you know my name is Sergeant Jeff Brown, and as Mr Fogarty has indicated, I'll be speaking to you briefly today about security (example), about how to make your time at this university safer and more comfortable.I am officially the university liaison officer (Q1), which means I have a specific brief to act as a go-between for the university and the police, if there are problems, and also to offer an official presence on or around campus and give individuals advice if they need it.Now, my job is very important to me. I take security and reducing the threat of crime on this campus very seriously because, although I don't actually live on the campus, both my daughters attended this university, and my son is still here (Q2). So I am a local policeman in every respect. I have been the university liaison officer for the last five years but I have been in the police force for 15 in all (Q3).Now, on to some advice. The first thing I want to stress is that this university is a comparatively safe place to live. We have had no serious crimes here in the five years I've been here. In fact, crime of any sort is very rare on the campus. We have good security here and although there are a lot of staff and students, the security staff, including myself, are making an effort to get to know your faces!However, as students it is of course wise for you to take precautions to protect yourselves against crime when you are off the campus. As I said, the campus itself is really very safe, but there is a large park right behind it, MacGowan Fields (Q4), and although this is a beautiful place to sit or walk during the day, at night you must be careful. One or two students have reported unpleasant incidents at night while walking in the park, although it must be said that no major incidents have been reported.Now, there are no areas in town which I advise students to avoid as a general rule, but the town centre (Q5) is more hazardous than other areas, especially in the evenings on Friday and Saturday. On these days there is often fighting after people have had too much to drink in the pubs and clubs in the area. There have also been anumber of robberies and muggings (Q6).Before the talk continues you have some time to read questions 7 to 10 (pause for 20 seconds). Now listen carefully and answer questions 7 to 10.Well, that was my advice to you. Most of it is common sense but remember crime always happens when you least expect it. But there are ways to protect yourself. First of all, the university provides all students with personal alarms (Q7). If you are attacked, you can use this to put off your attacker. Secondly, don't take anything with you that cannot easily be replaced like a passport or things of sentimental value. Leave jewellery and other valuables in your room when you go out. Always make sure you take something which will identify you (Q8), perhaps your student card or your driving licence. Thirdly, when you are out late at night, come home in twos (Q9). It's much safer if you're with a friend than on your own. And obviously, don't have very much money on you (Q10). Finally, if you do know you'll be late back and can't use public transport, tell someone else when you expect to be home and if there's a problem, they can raise the alarm. So, that's about all from me and I wish you a pleasant and safe stay here. Thank you.That is the end of Section 1. You will have half a minute to check your answers (pause for 30 seconds).Now turn to Section 2.____________Section 2——————You will hear two students, Sarah and John discussing their choices of courses to study. First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15 (pause for 30 seconds).Now listen carefully to the discussion and answer questions 11 to 15.Sarah: Hi, JohnJohn: Hello, Sarah. What are you doing in here? Haven't all you exams finished? Sarah: Well, yes, they have, but I've got to make my decisions for next year. I still haven't chosen what courses I'm going to do.John: That's why I'm here. Why don't we have a look through the brochure together? Sarah: That's a good idea. I'm not sure about some of these courses on medieval history.John: No. In fact, I'm not sure about the whole second year. I was talking to Peter Lily the other day - you know, he's just finished the second year - and he was saying that the work load is higher in (Q11) the second year because you have to read all these medieval documents in Latin (Q12). I mean, the first year's been pretty hard but next year will be worse. There are more assignments in the second year - it goes up to six a year for each course, doesn't it?Sarah: Yes But we've got the experience of the first year to build on, so it must get easier. And there isn't so much secondary material in the second year. There aren't so many books about the medieval period.John: Don't you believe it! I think this year's going to be hard work (Q13)!Sarah: Well, perhaps I'd better give up my job then.John: You're working as well?Sarah: Yeah, I've been working in the same place for over a year now. Only part-time, you know. Just Saturday mornings in the market. I mean, it doesn't pay much, but it's interesting and it gives me a bit of extra cash for my text books (Q14). Anyway, what about these courses? How many do we have to take? I remember Professor bolt saying something about four courses in the second year, is that right? Or do we have to do a certain number of credits?John: Both. We have to select four courses (Q15), but for some courses there are two parts. They count as one course. It's six in total, because everyone has to do Europe 1100-1500 and Chronicles of the Church. Anyway, when you've chosen your four courses, they should add up to 80 credits. Have you got the course brochure there? Sarah: Yes. Look ... under ... second year history ... There it is.You now have some time to read questions 16 to 20 (pause for 20 seconds).Now listen to the rest of the discussion and answer questions 16 to 20.John: Right. Yes, look. Most of these courses are 20 credits each, except for the two short courses about the Crusades (Q16). They're 10 each. Now, Medieval Society ... Hmm. What do you think?Sarah: Well, actually, I think it looks really good. Dr Smith is OK, and you don't have to buy any books except a study pack. The best thing is, there are no special requirements (Q17) - no Latin or medieval English!John: The next one is Development of Technology with Mr Mills. Ah ... this is a good one. Peter recommended it. It's all about the way printing developed, and early science. In fact, I think I could get a copy of Bouchier's 'History of Science' (Q18) from him. That means I wouldn't have to buy it.Sarah: That does look interesting. And that doesn't have any special requirements either. What's next ...? Ah, here they are. 10 credits each, the Crusades. You need French to do them. I suppose a lot of the documents are in French.John: That's strange - look. There are different teachers for each part. I expect that's why it's two modules. Dr Clare does the first part (Q19), but it's Dr Shaker and Professor Lord for the second one.Sarah: So that only leaves Peasants and Kings, with Dr Reeves. ... Oh, look, you have to know French (Q20) for this one.John: Well, I must say I don't fancy any course that asks you to have Latin, but I think my French is good enough to read original sources.Sarah: Yes, mine too. Well, what shall we choose?That is the end of Section 2. You will have half a minute to check your answers (pause for 30 seconds).Now turn to Section 3.____________Section 3——————You will hear an interview between Dr Mullet, a university lecturer and a student, Fayed. First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25 (pause for 30 seconds). Now listen carefully to the interview and answer questions 21 to 25.Dr Mullet: So, Fayed, you found my office quite easily.Fayed: Yes, thank you.Dr Mullet: Thank you for coming such a long way for the interview. I believe you are from the Middle East. Now, Fayed, I really wanted to speak to you during this interview about two things - your exam results and your final-year dissertation. Your thesis, your dissertation, that was something quite special. Your personal tutor actually sent me a copy, and I must say that for a third year undergraduate it's a very polished piece of work.Fayed: Thank you.Dr Mullet: Yes, it's very promising (Q21). Now, the thing is, you tutor tells me that you weren't all that happy with your exams ...Fayed: Well ... The results aren't out yet, as you know. The first four were fine, but in the last three I lost my nerve a bit and didn't do so well. I know I didn't do as well as I could. I was worried (Q22) when I'd handed in my exams.Dr Mullet: Right. Well, exams are a bit of a game anyway. We can't all do well on the day. But here exam results are not everything, as you know - I set great store by other factors in deciding whether we offer you a place on the Master's course (Q23). Perhaps you could tell me a little about how you became interested in economics. Fayed: Yes, of course. Well, I've always been interested in social and economic history, so from a very young age I read about the booms and crashes of the 19th and 20th centuries. I originally applied to study history at university (Q24), but when I got there I realised I had the chance to study economics at a high level, so I changed. My mother used to be an economist at the World Bank, so I had her to help me and guide me. Although she didn't help me write my final-year paper!Dr Mullet: No, quite. Now, you're applying for the Master's course in the Economics of the Developing World (Q25), taught by myself and Dr Branigan. Why this particular course?Fayed: Well, I've read some of your work on-the development of rural banks and I thought this was a good place to be. I mean, this is my first choice.Now you have some time to read questions 26 to 30 (pause for 20 seconds).Now listen to the rest of the interview and answer questions 26 to 30.Dr Mullet: And you're not worried about feeling homesick? You are still young, and Australia is a very long way from your home (Q26). I mean, your English is fine, there are no problems with language or attitude, but the distance from your family may make it hard for you at first.Fayed: I've thought about that. But it's a problem wherever I go. If I don't get in here, I'll probably take a place at a university in England (Q27). That's just as far from home!Dr Mullet: I see, I see. And what are your long-term ambitions, Fayed? What do you want to do ultimately with your Qualifications and your life?Fayed: I want to work in my country (Q28). You know there are some problems there, and I want to try to right some of them in the economic infrastructure.Dr Mullet: I see. And this is your last interview, I believe. That gives you four weeks before the next term starts. What will you do during your holidays?Fayed: Oh, I'm going to relax. I was going to work on my English, but in fact I've got a couple of friends in Hamburg, so I think I'll go and stay with them (Q29) instead asI've never been to Germany.Dr Mullet: I see. Well, Fayed, as you know I can't give you a decision right away. However, I can tell you that you've made quite an impression with your application, and I think you should not worry too much about the place. My decision will be made tomorrow (Q30) after I've seen the last candidate, and I'll let you know within the next two weeks.Fayed: Thank you very much.Dr Mullet: Well, thank you for attending the interview.That is the end if Section 3. You now have half a minute to check your answers (pause for 30 seconds).Now turn to Section 4.____________Section 4——————You will hear a lecturer give a talk on nutrition. First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 (pause for 40 seconds).Now listen carefully to the talk and answer questions 31 to 40.Now, the topic of today's talk is nutrition - specifically, vitamins and minerals. I'll be dealing first with some of the most common misconceptions about them. Then I'm going to talk about what vitamins there are, where they come from, and the quantities we need. We'll have some time at the end of the talk for any questions you may have.OK Well, vitamins are known to the general public - in fact, the public knows moreabout them than it does about certain other key aspects of nutrition (Q31). One reason for this is that vitamins have been in the public eye for quite a while - at least since the middle of the 20th century, when their importance first became widely recognised. This awareness does mean that the public knows how important vitamins are - even if it doesn't mean that we all eat a healthy diet all the time (Q32). However, a problem does arise that is associated with this, which is the number of old wives' tales about vitamins. Usually these fallacies are not dangerous, but they do lead to an unnecessarily high intake of vitamin supplements. For example, it is widely held that high doses of vitamin C will cure colds and flu (Q33). I'd like to hit this one on the head - there is no evidence that any vitamin can cure anything! No, I'm afraid you'll just have to let time sort out your cold. And of course, the body can't store vitamin C, so those tablets you take are just an expensive waste of time.Another common belief with no evidence is the idea that vitamin A helps you see in the dark (Q34). Actually, there is some truth in this one, because vitamin A is necessary for good vision. But in the dark, in real darkness, nobody can see. And of course, taking too much vitamin A can actually be bad for you. But perhaps the most misleading idea, heavily promoted by certain companies, is that vitamins will make you intelligent (Q35). Now, while a healthy diet is essential if you are to make the most of your intelligence, there is no evidence whatsoever that vitamin supplements can make the slightest bit of difference (pause for 3 seconds).So what can vitamins do? Or, perhaps more accurately, why do we need them? Well, the answer is that we need them for all sorts of reasons.Vitamin A, for example, also called retinol, is essential for good eyesight, especially at night, and to help us fight off (Q36) infection and illness. We get it from liver, butter, egg yolks and milk.Vitamin D, as is well known, is used to build strong teeth (Q37) and bones, but it also helps us absorb calcium. Vitamin D is mainly formed in the skin through the action of sunlight. How much you need depends on different factors such as age and health. Vitamin E, tocopherol, is less well-known, but is necessary in maintaining a healthy balance of fats in the body. We need 10-12 mg (Q38) every day, and although some people take supplements, you can normally get what you need from a balanced diet. The B complex includes vitamins B1, thiamine, B2, riboflavine, B6, pyridoxine andB12, cyanocobalamin. It performs many functions, including allowing our bodies to metabolise carbohydrates, forming healthy tissue, and perhaps most importantly, forming red blood cells (Q39) to prevent pernicious anaemia. We need varying amounts of the B complex, and while most of us can get enough from awell-balanced diet, vegetarians may find themselves deficient in B12, which is only found in any noticeable quantity in meat, especially liver.Finally, vitamin C is the one everyone knows. Ascorbic acid, as it's also known, helps fight infection, which perhaps accounts for the myth about preventing colds. It also helps protect against scurvy. We need 30 mg a day, and can only really get this amount from eating plenty of citrus fruit (Q40) and fresh vegetables. Now, in a moment I'll be moving on to talk about how we can plan a diet which will supply all our vitamin needs. But before that, I'd like to look at some of the recent advances inour knowledge of the ways vitamin deficiencies can affect us ...(fade)That is the end of Section 4.

雅思听力的短时高幅提分,小站教育学员案例解析

雅思听力的短时高幅提分,小站教育学员案例解析

雅思听力的短时高幅提分,小站教育学员案例解析很多人都说语法和单词可以靠短期恶补来提高,但听力和口语等能力却很难在短时间内有所突破。

但小站教育的一位学员却在三个月内将雅思听力单项提高了整整2分!学员李菲(应本人要求化名)刚来小站教育报班时已经考过了两次雅思,听力较高的那次也只有5.5分。

但经过了三个月的学习后,她最近一次雅思考试听力拿到了7.5!讲到这不得不提下李菲的辅导老师王丹,王丹老师在以往的教学中积累了很多一线经验,也从李同学身上看到了很多她与其他人相似和不同的地方。

针对这些共性和差异,她不断调整教学方式,最终成功引导她走向高分。

第一次上课王老师就发现一个问题,是属于自学能力本来就强的学员共通的小状况:李同学喜欢按照自己的惯有思维做题,如果课上正确率很高,就很配合老师很开心;一旦有题自己出错,就有一股“不能接受”的气势从体内飞出,会一直让老师放音频,直到自己听懂为止。

而且她考过试,也大概知道雅思是怎么回事,听力是怎么一个情况,不屑于一些基础内容。

王老师通过耐心的开导和调解,说服她先审视一下自己词汇、语法是否过关,有很多词汇她知道大意是什么却不会拼,很是可惜,所以不要报侥幸心理,觉得听力涉及的词汇简单,不需要背,考试中拖你后腿的往往就是拼写,所以李同学在课下重新拾起单词和语法,再一次巩固自己的基础。

一旦决定要上课,就要认真对待,最大限度利用宝贵的上课时间。

老师上课教的很多知识都很有用处的,比如解题思路、课下注意事项、考前准备等等,有什么问题也要及时问,这样老师才能知道你需要补足什么。

切忌不懂装懂,在老师面前,你不需要表现很优秀,这才是老师们存在的价值。

好在李同学在时间管理和自我约束上表现得非常优秀,加上是个好强的孩子,课下预备工作做得很好。

这样王老师就能在课程时间里集中讲解审题方法、练习方法,以及总结每种题型不同的思路,将所有时间都用在刀口上。

王老师对考点的剖析其实是在侧面引导李同学听题的时候学会听重点。

Q1AGENT: Which year are you in?STUDENT: Well… I’ve been at uni for four years but I’m in the Third Year because I took last year off.

See you tomorrow – after lunch would be better for me.SARA: OK, see you then. Bye.SECTION 2GEOFFREY: Good evening, and in this week’s edition of ‘Focus on the Arts’, Jane Hemmington is going to fill us in on what’s in store for us at this year’s Summer Festival. Over to you,Jane.JANE: Thank you, Geoffrey. This year, the Summer Festival is the biggest we’ve ever seen, so there should be something for everybody. This is the third year they’ve run it and the timing’s slightly different: for the last couple of years it’s been around the fifth to seventeenth, but this year they wanted to allow everyone enough time to recover from the first of January celebrations and they’ve put it (Q11) at the end of the month.The programme has sensational theatre, dance and also a large number of art exhibitions, but the thing the Festival is most famous for is its great street music. For today’s report though, Geoffrey, I’m looking at some of the (Q12) theatrical events that you might like to see; in particular, at this year’s theme – circuses.I’m going to tell you about two circus performances, but there are (Q13) plenty of others in the progralmme. I’ve chosen these because they represent distinct movements within circus performance. The first is the Circus Romano from Italy. As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing (Q14) in a marquee– which is really like a canvas portable building, usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium.In spite of this, Circus Romano isn’t at all like the traditional circuses I grew up with. There are no animals – just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines. The show has a lot of very funny moments, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the music and (Q15) lighting. They’re magical. At forty-five dollars it’s very expensive anyway – it’s really for (Q16) adult tastes. In fact, much of it would be wasted on children – so I suggest you leave them at home.The second circus performance is Circus Electrica at the (Q17) Studio Theatre. The purists are suggesting that this isn’t a circus at all. It’s a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than the usual ones you expect in a circus. With only six performers it’s a small production, which suits the venue well – the Studio only seats about two hundred people. For my money it’s the aerial displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks – features which are missing from Circus Romano. An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young – the youngest is only fourteen. But it’s still well worth seeing: a good one for (Q18) the whole family.And finally, as it’s summer, you may wish to see some of the Festival performances that are being presented outdoors. Like the famous Mekong Water Puppet Troupe, performing in the (Q19) City Gardens this week. Now, water puppetry is amazing! It’s large puppets on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in the lake. The puppets do comedy routines andthere is some terrific formation dancing. This is a fantastic show and the best moment comes at the end –seeing the puppeteers. When the troupe walks up out of the water, you get this amazing feeling. It’s really hard to believe that what you’ve been watching is lifeless wood and cloth. As an adult, I had a great time, but I did note that other older people in the audience weren’t quite as taken with it as I was. It’s a must for (Q20) young children though, and that’s the audience it’s really aimed at.Well, that’s all I’ve time for today, but I’II be back next week with more news of what’s worth seeing and what it’s best to miss.SECTION 3OFFICER: Hello. Er, I’m Dawn Matthews.STUDENT: Yes, hello. I’ve been referred to you because I’m enquiring about the refresher courses that you run. I’d like to find out a bit more about them.OFFICER: OK. Well, we run quite a few different short courses for students who are either (Q21)returning to study or studying part-time. Um, tell me about your situation. STUDENT: Well, I think that I really need some help in preparing for the coming semester, especially to build up my confidence a bit and help me study effectively because, yousee, I’ve been out in the work-force for nearly twelve years now, so it really is a longtime since I was last a student.OFFICER: Yes, it can seem like a long time, can’t it Um, well, let me start by telling you what courses we have that might suit you. Are you an undergraduate or postgraduate Artsor SciencesSTUDENT: Undergraduate, and I’m in the Business faculty.OFFICER: Right then. First of all, there’s our intensive ‘Study for Success’ seminar on (Q22) the first and second of February. It’s aimed at students like you who are uncertain aboutwhat to expect at college, and looks at a fairly wide range of approaches to universitylearning, to motivate you to begin your study and build on your own learningstrategies.STUDENT: Mm, that sounds good. What are some of the strategies that are presented OFFICER: Well, we try to cover all aspects of study. Some of the strategies in writing, for example, would be improving your planning for writing, organising your thinking andbuilding some techniques to help you (Q23) write more clearly. With reading,there’ll be sessions aimed at getting into the habit of (Q24) analysing material asyou read it, and tips to help you record and remember what you have read. It reallyis very important to begin reading confidently right from the beginning. STUDENT: Mm.OFFICER: There’s also advice on how to get the most from your lectures and practice in giving confident presentations, as well as how to prepare for exams.STUDENT: What about the motivational side of thingsOFFICER: Ah. Well, there’s a range of motivational exercises that we do to help the students feel (Q25) positive and enthusiastic about their study. The process of learning andexploring a subject can lead to a whole new way of looking at the world, and thestudy skills and techniques that you build up can be applied in all sorts of differentways.STUDENT: Actually, I… I’m very excited about the whole thing of taking up studying again but, you know, I’m a little nervous about whether I’ll manage to get everything done. Isuppose it’s the same for all mature studentsOFFICER: Of course it is. Two of the key components of the course are (Q26) time management and overcoming procrastination. People discover that, once they learnto plan their days, all the work can be accomplished and there’ll still be time forleisure.STUDENT: Is there an enrolment feeOFFICER: Well, er, oh, just a minute, let’s see . . . Ah, the cost is thirty pounds, which includes all course materials and morning tea. You have to arrange your own lunch. STUDENT: That wouldn’t be a problem. I already make sandwiches for my three kids and my wife and myself every day. I won’t have to change my routine.OFFICER: No. Now, I need to tell you that this is a very popular course and it’s essential that you (Q27) book well ahead of time. In fact, the Course Convenor tells me that thereare only five places left.STUDENT: What other course might be good for meOFFICER: There is one other that you could benefit from. It’s simply called ‘Learning Skills for University Study’ and is on (Q28) three consecutive mornings starting on a Monday,from nine to twelve, and costs twenty-five pounds. This is aimed at upgrading thestudy skills most school-leavers have and help them cope with the increaseddemands of university study. It focuses mainly on making students more responsiblefor their own success.STUDENT: What sort of things are covered in this courseOFFICER: Well, basically it’s more advanced thinking, note-taking, reading and writing strategies, but also some input about (Q29) stress management.STUDENT: I think I’d be better off (Q30) starting from the basics and looking at all the strategies, don’t youOFFICER: Yes, from what you’ve told me, I think that’s more in line with your situation. STUDENT: Alright then, um, can I book a place on the ‘Study for Success’ seminar course now OFFICER: Yes. Let me just get out a registration form and take down your details.SECTION 4We’re very grateful that the Committee has agreed that a representative for the Students’Union can present students’ suggestions about the design for the proposed new Union building. We appreciate that some of our ideas may not be feasible in the circumstances, but we do feel that it is important that the ultimate beneficiaries of the facilities should have some say in its design.If I could start by briefly explaining what steps were taken to find out student opinion and how we have arrived at conclusions. Firstly, a meeting was held in the current Union for our SU Committee to explain the options. Then we invited all students to submit written suggestions for the design, placing cards in a suggestion box. These suggestions then provided the basis for the design of a (Q31) questionnaire, which was completed by (Q32) approximately two thousand of the College students over a period of three weeks. Finally, the SU Committee collated the resultsand drew up a report. If I can just hand around a copy of that report. This presentation is essentially a summary and discussion of the key points of this report.So, in broad terms, the consensus was as follows. Firstly, regarding the crucial matter of the site, we presented the three options that you have proposed. One: in the city centre, near the Faculty of (Q33) Education; two: on the outskirts of the city, near the park, and three: out of town, near the (Q34) halls of residence. We asked students to cite reasons for and against these sites and, and there was remarkable agreement on all three. Site One was unpopular because of (Q35) traffic and parking problems. Site Two had a number of supporters, mainly because it was close to (Q36) most lecture rooms. And Site Three, out of town, near the halls of residence, was clearly the most popular because of access from living quarters. It was clear that the Union was mainly to be used after lectures. It was also felt that the large site would allow (Q37) more room for a choice of facilities.Our second area of interest was obviously the facilities: there was minimal interest in having a library on the premises, but one option seemed to be a reading room instead – more useful. We would like the current table games room to be replaced with (Q38) a small gym. And, if possible, a small swimming pool – not, of course, Olympic-sized! There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agent’s and insurance centre. We also request that there be the offices of the Student Counselling Centre, moving this from the Refectory. There was, however, much disagreement about whether to build a drama theatre. Just over forty per cent of the respondents were in favour, but a largish minority were strongly against it, claiming that it is (Q39) elitist and a waste of funds. Essentially the jury is out on that.Finally, given the number of unfortunate incidents in the current Union over the past few months, a strong point was repeatedly made about security. The recommendations would be at least (Q40) video surveillance and security personnel who would check Student Union cards on request. We doubt if it would be feasible in.Well, this is the summary of the views of the student population. As I say, fuller details are given in our report but I’m happy to take any questions if you have them . . .。

高分未必需要苦读,小站教育雅思8分学员经验谈

高分未必需要苦读,小站教育雅思8分学员经验谈

高分未必需要苦读,小站教育雅思8分学员经验谈在见到梁同学的第一眼就被她阳光的微笑所感染,有时候心态对于考试来说,真的很重要。

其实每个人都有不同的备考方式,每种方式都有可能达到最终目的,取决于对谁和怎么用。

在考试一开始,梁同学并没有任何有关雅思的认知,但她从身边朋友考过的经验得知,一个人埋头苦干的效果并不大,也不适合自己,在她看来效率低且进步慢,所以选择了找老师。

原本身在北京的时候各种资源信息应有尽有,大把英语培训机构可供选择。

但这回的情况则不同,备考期间正在家乡的梁同学缺少所需要的专业帮助,因此她开始求助于网络,也正是在网上随意的寻找,她发现了小站教育和其所提供的远程定制型课程。

在线教育对于梁同学来说并不是新鲜词,听过不少次但自己却从未试过,但冷静的她开始分析在线课程是否适合自己,经过再三比对后她终于敲定。

对此我们好奇的问为什么,原本以为她可能只会一两句话随意敷衍下,没想到她却有条有理的列出三点:第一,小站的网络课程具有空间优势,即使在家也能接受来自各地最具资质、经验丰富的老师们的指导,省时省力。

第二,根据个人的日程,小站会安排出符合个人需求的课程表,因此又具有了时间优势。

第三,小站教学使用QQ语音使教学过程更简单方便,既能与老师直接快速交流,又能同时发送信息及文件作为补充材料,课后整理资料也很方便。

也正是因为这些,梁同学才选择正式签约学习,上课后,小站安排的班主任的负责心也让她很是满意,不仅与其沟通各种事宜,包括预期分数、对老师的要求、课时安排等等,还会依照她的步调和目标设计了有针对性的课程计划。

除了班主任之外,小站还安排了4位雅思老师,这点也同样让梁同学大为赞赏!有那么多人围着她一人出谋划策,显然自己会省去不少力气。

“以前上很多补习班都只给你一个老师,但这次听说读写分别安排,觉得小站很负责,让我真正了解到什么是术业有专攻!”上课前她与四位老师互加了QQ,为的是方便与老师课后沟通,老师也会先了解她学习上的不足,再做到对症下药。

TEST 1 SECTION 1RECEPTIONIST: Good afternoon, Dreamtime Travel. How can I help you?CUSTOMER: Oh hello. I'm interested in the holidays you offer along the coastnear here.RECEPTIONIST: Yes. We operate several tours up the coast. Where in particulardid you want to go?CUSTOMER: Well, I like the sound of the holiday that mentioned whales. Wasit'Whale Watching'?RECEPTIONIST: Oh, that's our Whale Watch Experience. lt's very popular and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches.CUSTOMER: Oh right, and how long does it last?RECEPTIONIST: It's two days - that includes four hours' travel time each way from here.CUSTOMER: Good, I don't want to be away any longer than that. So is that by coach? RECEPTIONIST: Actually it's by minibus. We like to keep those tours small andpersonal so we don't take a whole coachload of people. in fact, weonly take up to fifteen people on this tour, although we do run itwith just twelve or thirteen.CUSTOMER: Oh, right. So do you run these tours often?RECEPTIONIST: Well it depends on the time of year. Of course in peak times like the summer holidays we do them every weekend, but at themoment it's usually once a month at most.CUSTOMER: And when is the next one going?RECEPTIONIST: Mmm, let me see. Um, there's one in three weeks' time which is April the 18th, and then we don't have another one until June the2nd.CUSTOMER: All right, and is April a good time to go?RECEPTIONIST: Pretty good. Though the really good time is later in the year. I haveC: Really? to say though that the whale sighting is only one of the many things offered.R: Yes.The hotel itself where you stay has great facilities. It's called The Pallisades. C: The Paris what?R: No, it's actually The Pallisades, P-A-L-L-I-S-A-D-E-S. It's right on the main beach there.C: Oh, I see.R: All of the rooms have nice views and the food is really good there too.C: Oh right.C: And what about the other things? You know, that are included in the price.R: Oh, there are lots of things. If you don't want to do the whale watch cruise, your guide will take anyone who is interested either on a bushwalk through the national park near the hotel, and there's no extra charge for that, or on a fishing trip. That's an extra $12 I think. And there's also a reptile park in town - that costs more or less the same.C: No, I think I'd prefer whales to snakes.R: Yeah. And if you just want to relax you are free to sit by the hotel pool or go down the beach. Oh, and they also have tennis courts at the hotel, but you have to pay for those by the hour. But there are table tennis tables downstairs and they're part of the accommodation package. Just speak to your guide.C: Well that sounds good. So how much is the basic tour price?R: At this time of year it's usually around $300 but let me check.Er...oh, it's actually $280.C:And the next tour, are there any places on that one?R: HOW many people Is It for?C: These are two of us.R: Yes, that should be fine. Can I just mention that we require all bookings to be made at least fourteen days before you travel to avoid cancellations of tours. And if you cancel within seven days of departure you will have to pay 50% of your totalbooking.C: OK.R: And you also need to pay a 20% deposit at the time of booking.C: Can I pay that by credit card?R: Yes, you can.C: All right, what I'll do is I'll talk to my partner and get back to you.R: Fine. So I'll make a provisional booking, shall I? - two for the Whale Watch Experience. Let me issue you with a customer reference number for when you call back. Do you have a pen?C: Yes.R: OK, it's three nine seven, four five, T. That's T for tango. When you call back, ask to speak to the Tour Manager, that's me, Tracy.C: Fine, I willSECTION 2Hello and welcome to today's “Buyer Beware” programme, where we give you some tips on how to spend your money wisely. Now, in today's show we're looking at beds for children and babies. Let's start by looking at baby cots, that's for children of up to three years old. We tested three different cots all in the budget price range and, as usual, we will feature the good points, the problems and our verdict. The first cot we looked at was by Baby Safe and it had several good points to recommend it. Our testers liked the fact that it had four wheels, so it was easy to move around. The only slight problems with this cot were that it had no brakes, but they didn't think that mattered too much. At first they were a bit concerned about the side bar, because they felt babies could trap their fingers in it, but our testers felt that this was unlikely to happen so they have given this one a verdict of “satisfactory”. The next cot was by Choice Cots and this time our testers were pleased to find a cot which is simple to put together - unlike others we looked at. On the minus side, our testers did not like the fact that the side of the cot did not drop down, making it difficult to pick up newborn babies. However, the real problem with this cot was the space between the bars; ourtesters found they were too wide and a baby could easily trap his head. We felt this was a real safety hazard and so we have labelled this one dangerous, I'm afraid.And finally better news for the Mother's Choice cot. This cot was slightly different in that, although the side bar did not drop down, the base could be raised or lowered into two different positions making it safe as well as convenient. The negatives for this one were quite minor; the only niggle everyone had was the fact that it has no wheels and the only other problem anyone could find, was that there were pictures which were simply stuck on and so could easily become detached. The makers have now promised to discontinue this practice. As this cot will then be safe in every way, we have made the Mother's Choice cot our best buy. Congratulations Mother's Choice! So, what features should you look for in a baby's cot? Well obviously safety is a very important factor as well as comfort and convenience. We recommend that, if you are buying a cot, do make sure that any metal present is not rusted or bent in any way. You should ensure your cot has only rounded or smooth edging without any sharp edges, this is especially important for wooden cots. And now on to beds for toddlers ..SECTION 3ANDREW: Excuse me, I was told to come here for advice about, erm, Management Diploma courses?MONICA: You've certainly come to the right place. Hi, my name is Monica.A: Nice to meet you. My name is Andrew, Andrew Harris.M: So, Andrew, have you seen our diploma course prospectus yet?A: Yes, I've already looked at it. In fact, I thought the information on course content was really useful, but I'm afraid I'm a bit confused by all the different ways you can do the course: full-time intensive, part-time and so on.M: Well, let's see if I can help. I think each course type has its advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on you - your own study habits, and your financial circumstances, of course. Are you working at the moment?A: Yes. I've been working in the administration section of the local hospital for thelast three years. And before that I worked in the office of a computer engineering company for two years. So, I've got about five years of relevant work experience.And what I'm hoping to focus on is Personnel Management.M: I see. And are you planning to leave your current job to study, or are you thinking about just taking a year off?A: I want to know what my options are, really. I don't want to quit my job or anything and my employers are keen for me to get some more qualifications but obviously, it would be better if I could do a course without taking too much time away from work.M: Right, so you don't really want to do the full-time course, then?A: No, not really. It's also a question of finances. You see, my office have agreed to pay the cost of the Course itself, but I would have to take unpaid leave if I want to study full-time and, well, I don't think I could afford to support myself with no salary for a whole year.M: OK. Well, you have two other possibilities: you could either do the part-time course- that would be over two years and you wouldn't have to take any time off work - or you could do what we call a 'modular' course. You could do that in eighteen months if you wanted - or longer, it's quite flexible and it would be up to you.A: Mmm. So what does the part-time course involve?M: For that you would join an evening class and have a lecture twice a week. Then, you'd have to attend a seminar or discussion workshop one weekend a month.A: What kind of coursework would I have to do?M: Well, it's a mixture. You'd be expected to write an essay each month, which counts towards your final assessment. You have a case study to do by the end of the course, which might involve doing a survey or something like that, and also you need to hand in a short report every four weeks.A: So, that's quite a lot of work, then, on top of working every day. It sounds like a lot of studying - and really tiring.M: Yes, you certainly wouldn't have much free time!A: What about the 'modular' course? What would I have to do for that?M: That's where you get the opportunity to study full-time for short periods. That way you can cover a lot of coursework and attend lectures and seminars during the day.And each module lasts for one term, say, about twelve weeks at a time. There are obvious advantages in this - the main one being that you can study in a much more intensive way, which suits some people much better.A: And how many of these 'modules' would I have to do to get the diploma?M: The current programme is two modules - and then you have to choose a topic to work in more depth - but you can base that on your job, and so you don't need to be away from the office, and how long it takes is up to you.A: The important thing is that you don't have to study and work. You can focus on one thing at a time.M: Yes, I can see that. It certainly sounds attractive! It would be more expensive, though. I mean, I'd have to support myself without pay for each module.A: That's true, so that might be a problem for you. Look, why don't you talk this over with your employers and ...SECTION 4OK, so we've been looking at the attitudes of various social and cultural groups towards the management of their personal finances - how important they feel it is to save money, and what they save their money for. One aspect that we haven't yet considered is gender. So if we consider gender issues we're basically asking whether men and women have different attitudes towards saving money, and whether they save money for different things: Back in 1928 the British writer George Bernard Shaw wrote in his Intelligent Women's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism that A man is supposed to understand polities, economics and finance and is therefore unwillingto accept essential instruction.' lie also said, 'A woman, having fewer pretensions, is far more willing to learn'. Now, though these days people might question a lot of the assumptions contained in those statements, recent research does suggest that there are some quite fundamental differences between men and women in their attitudes toeconomic matters. Let's look at what men and women actually save for. Research studies of women in North America have found that women are far more likely to save for their children's education and they are also more likely to save up in order to buy a house one day. The same studies have found that men, on the other hand, tend to save for a car, which by the way takes a surprisingly large amount of the household budget in North America. But the other main priority for men when saving money is their retirement. When they're earning, they're far more likely to put money aside for their old age than women are. Now this is rather disturbing, because in fact the need for women to save for their old age is far greater than for men. Let's consider this for a moment. To start with, it is a fact that throughout the world, women are likely to live many years longer than men, so they need money to support them during this time. Since women are likely to be the ones left without a partner in old age, they may therefore have to pay for nursing care, because they don't have a spouse to look after them. Furthermore the high divorce rates in North America are creating a poverty cycle for women. It is the divorced women who will most often have to look after the children and thus they need more money to look. after not just themselves but others. So what can be done about this situation? The population in North America is likely to contain an increasing number of elderly women. The research indicates that at present for women it takes a crisis to make them think about their future financial situation. But of course this is the very worst time for anyone to make important decisions. Women today need to look ahead, think ahead - not wait until they're under pressure. Even women in their early twenties need to think about pensions, for example, and with increasing numbers of women in professional positions there are signs that this is beginning to happen. Then research also suggests that women avoid dealing effectively with their economic situation because of a lack of confidence. The best way for them to overcome this is by getting themselves properly informed so they are less dependent on other people's advice. A number of initiatives have been set up to help them do this. This College, for example, is one of the educational institutions which offers night classes in Money Management, and increasing numbers of women are enrolling on such courses. Here, they can be given advice ondifferent ways of saving. Many women are unwilling to invest in stocks and shares, for instance, but these can be extremely profitable. It is usually advised that at least 70% of a person's savings should be in low-risk investments but for the rest, financial advisors often advise taking some well-informed risks. Initiatives such as this can give women the economic skills and knowledge they need for a comfortable, independent retirement. The increasing proportion of elderly women in the population is likely to have other economic consequences...TEST 2Section 1LIBRARIAN: Good morning, North College Library. How can I help you?MAN: I was wondering if it was possible to join the library.L: Are you a student at North College?M: No, I'm not, but someone told me it was possible to join, even if I wasn't.L: That's right, it is. Are you over 18? That's our minimum joining age.M: Yes, I am.L: That's no problem then.M: Could you tell me what I have to do to join?L: Well, you'll need to come in to the library and fill out some forms. You'll also need to bring two passport photos with you. We also need two documents for ID, so a driving licence would be fine.M: I've got that and what else? A credit card?L: No, it needs to have your address on it.M: Shall I bring a bank statement,, would that do?L: That'll be fine.M: Good. Does it cost anything to join?L: Well, it's free for students here but otherwise it's £125 per year or £25 if you've gota current student card from another college.M: I was at Westerly College until last year but now I've got a job at Jefferson's steel factory. Er, it's more expensive than I thought. My local library is free.L: But you'll find they don't have the range of reference books or facilities which we buy for our students. That's why you have to pay to be an external member.M: I see. How many books can I borrow?L: We allow twelve items borrowed at any one time if you're a student, and that includes CDs, DVDs and videos. However, it's only eight items for members of the public.M: Fine. And how long can I have them for?L: Well, you can have both fiction and reference books for four weeks which isn't bad really.M: And what happens if I return them late?L: Like all libraries there's a fine system in place. The minimum fine is £1.50 but it can be much higher for some items - up to £5 per week. WWe'll give you a booklet with all the details when you join. You can always renew items if they're not required by anyone else by telephoning or logging on to our website.M: What about the computers? Can I use them free of charge?L: For college students it's free, but for external members like yourself, the first hour is free and then we make a nominal charge of £ 1 per hour thereafter.M: Do I have to book in advance for them?L: Oh, yes, it's advisable. Most people tend to book twenty-four hours in advance although sometimes you can get one with only six hours' notice. However, the earliest you can book a computer is forty-eight hours before you need it, and you can only book one hour at a time. If no-one else has booked the computer out, then you may be able to have another hour if you want. We have a wide range of databases, so the computers are in great demand.M: I'm thinking of doing some writing and I might need to access national newspapers.Do you have them on these databases?LI: We do indeed. We've got all the big nationals, The Guardian and The Observer, The Independent and The Times and Sunday Times. We've also got all the local papers and a wide selection of magazines.M: Excellent. I assume you have photocopying facilities?L: Of course. 5p a sheet for both A4 and A3 black-and-white copies and 40p a sheet for colour. You can get a card from the counter here - it doesn't take coins.M: OK. Oh by the way, another thing I was wondering about was if you ran any writing classes through the library?L: We do, but you'll have to speak to John Grantingham about that. He's our resident author. He runs the creative writing classes.M: John ... Grant ..... C ould you spell that for me please?L: Certainly.G-R-A-N-T-I-N-G-H-A-M.M: Are the classes here at the library?L: Yes - he's here on Thursday evenings, oh no sorry, Friday - he's just changed it.You can contact him by emailing the library.M: Okay. Right, well that's about all I need to know. Thank you. I'll be along later this week to join. Thanks. Bye.SECTION 2My name's Dan Pearman and I'd like to talk about the work of Pedal Power, a small charity based mainly in the UK. I'll be giving our contact details at the end, if anyone would like to find out more about how to support us.But first, how the charity began. I got the idea of exporting bicycles to developing countries while I was in Ecuador. I went there in 1993 just after graduating from university. After three years of studying, I wanted adventure. I loved travelling, so I decided to join a voluntary organisation and was sent to Ecuador to carry out land surveys. The project came to an end after five years and when I returned to the UK in 1998, I started planning Pedal Power.Where I lived in Ecuador was a very rural area. My neighbour had the only bicycle in the village, whereas everyone else walked everywhere. My neighbour's business was unusually successful, and for years I couldn't understand why. Then I realised having a bike meant he could get where he wanted to go without much trouble. Other localcarpenters could only accept jobs in a three-kilometre radius, so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as my neighbour.At Pedal Power, we collect second-hand bikes in the UK and send them to some of the poorest regions in the world. When we distribute bikes overseas we don't give them away for free. We'd like to, but long term that doesn't really help the local economy The demand for bikes is enormous, which makes them very expensive locally So we sell them for 5% of the normal price. But in order to continue operating we need to have a constant supply of bikes which we send out every six months.One example of a own that's received bicycles from Pedal Power is Rivas. It was the first place I sent a full container of bicycles to. Most people there now own a bicycle. The local economy has developed so much, you wouldn't recognise it as the same place. In fact, there are more bikes than on the streets of Amsterdam, if you've ever been there.But Pedal Power still needs your help. You may have read about some of our recent problems in the British media. In August 2000, we simply ran out of money. We had containers of bikes ready to send, but no money to pay the bills. It was a terrible situation. We managed to ensure the bikes went out on time, but the other problems carried on for several months.Fortunately in October 2001 we won an Enterprise Award which helped us enormously. We invested fifteen of the seventy-five-thousand-pound prize money to help secure our future. Winning the award helped raise our profile, and the money enabled us to pay all our shipping costs, which represent our greatest expense. Pedal Power changes lives - when someone gets a bicycle from us, they see a 14% increase in their income. We're currently looking to invest in computers so that our office staff can do an even better job. Because of our work, people in a number of countries now have a better standard of living - so far we've provided 46,000 people with bikes. Butwe'd like to send more, at least 50,000 by the end of the year.Now there are many ways in which you can support the work. of Pedal Power, not just by taking a bike to a collection in your area. I should also like to say if you do have a bike to donate, it doesn't matter what condition it's in - if we can't repair it, we'll strip it down for spare parts. Of course, to do that we always need tools, which are expensive to buy, so we welcome any that you can give. Also, you could help by contacting the voluntary staff at our offices, they'll be able to suggest activities you could organise to bring in funds for us. People do all kinds of things - including, of course, s d bike rides. Also, we're always interested to hear of other places that would benefit from receiving a consignment of bikes, and welcome suggestions from people who've been to developing regions on their travels. We hope that by talking on radio programmes like this, we will be able to raise public awareness, which will lead to government organisations also giving us regular financial support, something that we really need.If you'd like some more information about where to donate an old bicycle or offer help in other ways please contact us on ...SECTION 3TUTOR: First of ail I'd just like to say, Cristina and Ibrahim, that I really enjoyed watching your video about student life last week, and I could see that therest of the group did too. You did really well, and I hope that you got a lotout of it. I'd like to use this tutorial as a feedback session, where you reflecton the experience of doing the project. So Cristina, I was wondering, whatdid you enjoy most about making the video?CRISTINA: I liked using the camera.T: Is it the first time you've operated one like that?C: Yes, it is.T: Well the results were very good! Anything else?C: I also enjoyed visiting one of the British students we filmed. I'd never been inside a British home before.T: OK Cristina, thanks. What about you, Ibrahim? What did you enjoy?I : Well for me it was a very good chance to get to know students who are on othercourses, because everyone in our group is studying English, and we don't usually have much to do with the rest of the college.T: Yes, good. Do you think you'll maintain the contact now?I: I hope so. I've invited three of them to have dinner with me next week.T: Great! If you haven't decided what to make yet I can tell you they'll love trying Arab dishes. And of course, it's good for your English too. Cristina, what did you find? What was the most useful aspect of the project from the point of view of the English practice?C: I think, when we were being shown how to edit the film, we had to follow the instructions. And that was very good practice for me. And I also learnedsometechnical words that I hadn't heard before.T: What about you Ibrahim? What was the most useful for your English?I: It was listening to the British students, because they don't speak as slowly as most of the tutors on our course. I think they speak at natural speed, so it forces me to get used to it. And they use a lot of slang.T: So you learned some new words which will be useful?I: Yes. TUTOR: Good. I'm glad it helped. Well, we've talked a little bit about enjoyment, and about language practice. Were there any other benefits? What else did you feel you'd learnt from the project? Was it useful in other ways?C: Yes, well firstly, I learned how to use a video camera. And also, I think I really learned a lot about working together with other people. I've never done anything with a group before, and we had to find ways of cooperating, erm, andcompromising, and sometimes persuading people, when they don't agree with you. T: Yes, that is a very useful experience, I know. TUTOR: What about you, Ibrahim? I: Well, I think I learnt a lot about how important editing is. When you're filmingyouthink that everything's going to be interesting, but in fact we cut around half of it in the end, and then it was much better.T: Good. Well, one last thing I'd like to ask. What mistakes do you think you, as a group that is, made? I mean, to put it another way, if you had to do it all over again, is there anything you'd do differently?C: We didn't plan very well. For example, we didn't decide on dates when we'dcomplete each separate step of the project, and we should have agreed about that in the beginning, because we were always late with everything!T: Right. Anything else?C: I think we should have tried to experiment more with the camera. I mean with angles, and the focus and that kind of thing.T: So you should have been more ambitious? Do you agree, Ibrahim?I: Not really. In fact, I think we were too ambitious. We were inexperienced, and we didn't have a lot of time, and we tried to do too much, to make a lone film. Next time I would make a shorter one and try to get quality better.T: Well, that's very interesting. Next semester we will anther video project - with a different content, of course - but you'll have an opportunity to put into practice what you've learnt this time. Do you have any ideas about...SECTION 4Tonight I'm going to talk to you about that remarkable continent Antarctica - remote, hostile and at present uninhabited on a permanent basis. For early explorers, it was the ultimate survival contest; for researchers like me, it remains a place of great intellectual challenge; while for the modern tourist, it's simply a wilderness of great beautyFirst, some facts and figures. Antarctica is a place of extremes - the highest, coldest and windiest continent and over fifty-eight times the size of the UK. The ice-cap contains almost 70% of the world's fresh water and 90% of its ice, but with very low。

雅思听力part2真题library cooks

雅思听力part2真题library cooks

雅思听力part2真题library cooksyou should spend about 20 minutes on questions 1-14 which are based on reading passage 1 below.adults and children are frequently confronted with statements about the alarming rate of loss of tropical rainforests. for example, one graphic illustration to which children might readily relate is the estimate that rainforests are being destroyed at a rate equivalent to one thousand football fields every forty minutes — about the duration of a normal classroom period. in the face of the frequent and often vivid media coverage, it is likely that children will have formed ideas about rainforests — what and where they are, why they are important, what endangers them — independent of any formal tuition. it is also possible that some of these ideas will be mistaken.many studies have shown that children harbour misconceptions about‘pure’, curriculum sc ience. these misconceptions do not remain isolated but become incorporated into a multifaceted, but organised, conceptual framework, making it and the component ideas, some of which are erroneous, more robustbut also accessible to modification. these ideas may be developed by children absorbing ideas through the popular media. sometimes this information may be erroneous. it seems schools may not be providing an opportunity for childrento re-express their ideas and so have them tested and refined by teachers and their peers.despite the extensive coverage in the popular media of the destruction of rainforests, little formal information is available about children’s ideas in this area. the aim of the present study is to start to provide such information, to help teachers design their educational strategies to buildupon correct ideas and to displace misconceptions and to plan programmes in environmental studies in their schools.the study surveys children’s scientific knowledge and attitudes to rainforests. secondary school children were asked to complete a questionnaire containing five open-form questions. the most frequent responses to the first question were descriptions which are self-evident from the term ‘rainforest’. some children described them as damp, wet or hot. the second question concerned the geographical location of rainforests. the commonest responses were continents or countries: africa (given by 43% of children), south america (30%), brazil (25%). some children also gave more general locations, such as being near the equator.responses to question three concerned the importance of rainforests. the dominant idea, raised by 64% of the pupils, was that rainforests provide animals with habitats. fewer students responded that rainforests provide plant habitats, and even fewer mentioned the indigenous populations of rainforests. more girls (70%) than boys (60%) raised the idea of rainforest as animal habitats.similarly, but at a lower level, more girls (13%) than boys (5%) said that rainforests provided human habitats. these observations are generallyconsistent with our previous studies of pupils’ views about the use and conservation of rainforests, in which girls were shown to be more sympatheticto animals and expressed views which seem to place an intrinsic value on non-human animal life.the fourth question concerned the causes of the destruction of rainforests. perhaps encouragingly, more than half of the pupils (59%) identified that itis human activities which are destroying rainforests, some personalising the responsibility by the use of terms such as ‘we are’. about 18% of the pupils referred specifically to logging activity.one misconception, expressed by some 10% of the pupils, was that acid rain is responsible for rainforest destruction; a similar proportion said that pollution is destroying rainforests. here, children are confusing rainforest destruction with damage to the forests of western europe by these factors.while two fifths of the students provided the information that the rainforests provide oxygen, in some cases this response also embraced the misconceptionthat rainforest destruction would reduce atmospheric oxygen, making the atmosphere incompatible with human life on earth.in answer to the final question about the importance of rainforest conservation, the majority of children simply said that we need rainforests to survive. only a few of the pupils (6%) mentioned that rainforest destruction may contribute to global warming. this is surprising considering the highlevel of media coverage on this issue. some children expressed the idea thatthe conservation of rainforests is not important.the results of this study suggest that certain ideas predominate in the thinking of children about rainforest s. pupils’ responses indicate some misconceptions in basic scientific knowledge of rainforests’ ecosystems such as their ideas about rainforests as habitats for animals, plants and humansand the relationship between climatic change and destruction of rainforests.pupils did not volunteer ideas that suggested that they appreciated the complexity of causes of rainforest destruction. in other words, they gave no indication of an appreciation of either the range of ways in which rainforests are important or the complex social, economic and political factors whichdrive the activities which are destroying the rainforests. one encouragementis that the results of similar studies about other environmental issuessuggest that older children seem to acquire the ability to appreciate, valueand evaluate conflicting views. environmental education offers an arena inwhich these skills can be developed, which is essential for these children as future decision-makers.questions 1-8do the following statements agree with the information given in reading passage 1in boxes 1-8 on your

/【TPO小站】托福雅思1对1在线指导【保100分】【TPO小站】专业的托福雅思1对1保分培训金牌老师授课性价比高TPO1ReadingIn the United States, employees typically work five days a week for eight hours each day. However, many employees want to work a four-day week and are willing to accept less pay in order to do so. A mandatory policy requiring companies to offer their employees the option of working a four-day workweek for four-fifths (80 percent) of their normal pay would benefit the economy as a whole as well as the individual companies and the employees who decided to take the option. The shortened workweek would increase company profits because employees would feel more rested and alert, and as a result, they would make fewer costly errors in their work. Hiring more staff to ensure that the same amount of work would be accomplished would not result in additional payroll costs because four-day employees would only be paid 80 percent of the normal rate. In the end, companies would have fewer overworked and error-prone employees for the same money, which would increase company profits. For the country as a whole, one of the primary benefits of offering this option to employees is that it would reduce unemployment rates. If many full-time employees started working fewer hours, some of their workload would have to be shifted to others. Thus, for every four employees who went on an 80 percent week, a new employee could be hired at the 80 percent rate. Finally, the option of a four-day workweek would be better for individual employees. Employees who could afford a lower salary in exchange for more free time could improve the quality of their lives by spending the extra time with their families, pursuing private interests, or enjoying leisure activities.ListeningProfessorOffering employees the option of a four-day workweek won't affect the company profits, economic conditions or the lives of employees in the ways the reading suggests.First, offering a four-day workweek will probably force companies to spend more, possibly a lot more. Adding new workers means putting much more money into providing training and medical benefits. Remember the costs of things like health benefits can be the same whether an employee works four days or five. And having more employees also requires more office space and more computers. These additional costs would quickly cut into company profits.Second, with respect to overall employment, it doesn't follow that once some employees choose a four-day workweek, many more jobs will become available. Hiring new workers is costly, as I argued a moment ago. And companies have other options. They might just choose to ask their employees to work overtime to make up the difference. Worse, companies might raise expectations. They might start to expect that their four-day employees can do the same amount of work they used to do in five days. If this happens, then no additional jobs will be created and current jobs will become more unpleasant.Finally, while a four-day workweek offers employees more free time to invest in their personal lives, it also presents some risks that could end up reducing their quality of life. Working a shorter week can decrease employees' job stability and harm their chances for advancing their careers. Four-day employees are likely to be the first to lose their jobs during an economic downturn. They may also be passed over for promotions because companies might prefer to have five-day employees in management positions to ensure continuous coverage and consistent supervision【TPO 小站】2013托福超级QQ 群 75489660【劲爆消息!!T友们务必看过来!!!!】现TPO小站隆重推出微信公共平台,拿出手机扫一扫,王牌老师坐镇为大家免费语音点评口语,写作题目!打开微信,在公共账号中直接搜索“TPO小站”即可添加,前1000位T友更将免费获得小站为大家精心准备的内部复习资料一份。

小站教育名师点评Listen to this有多灵?教你利用Listen to this提高雅思听力Listen to this是一套以标准的美式或英式发音为主的听力教程,难度分为初级、中级和高级。

对于一些基础比较薄弱或备考时间在半年左右的考生来说是不错的入门选择。

这套教材练习形式比较丰富,练习的设计参考了美国TOEFL考试和英国 Cambridge Certificate考试的形式,并增加了是非题、填空题、听写、讲座摘抄记和根据笔记回答问题等多种考试形式。

对于要备考雅思的考生们来说,也可以借此快速熟悉新题型和各个国家的英语口音。

Listen to this 1提高听力最有效的方法之一就是dictation听写, 而在Listen to this 1前半部分主要是对numbers、telephone numbers、years、days及address这些知识点的精听练习。

考生们要争取把每个单词都听出来,记录下来,没听出来的,再听第三遍直至全部听懂,这对听力的提高是很显著的。

这一部分与雅思听力考试的section 1极其相似,能够对一些细节信息进行归纳及反复的练习,锻炼考生们的速记能力。

对于备考的烤鸭们,这本书还是值得一练的,因为想要拿到高分,我们要确保在雅思听力考试section 1和section 2中这些细节信息不要出错。

Listen to this 2Listen to this 2 中级每课由三部分组成,涉及了日常生活和社交活动的各个方面,不仅有助于提高学生们的听力技能,也有益于提高学生的英语交际能力。

全书的课文按录音材料的难易程度编排,循序渐进,与第一册衔接。

这一册书中,前两个部分都先是涉及到了Vocabulary词汇部分的内容,都是些基本且常用的词,还有就是一些专有名词需要留心,要知道是什么意思及怎么发音及其蕴藏的文化背景。

还有cultural notes部分也能帮助我们了解西方文化并配有各种题型的练习,练习主要分为单选题、是非对错题、地图题、搭配题、填空题、问答题等。

【小站教育】雅思考试听力如何听声音猜词义

“烤鸭”必知:雅思听力两大猜词技巧对于雅思听力,很多考生觉得雅思听力速度过快的表现一般都是觉得听力勉勉强强能听懂,可是刚刚一听懂就错过了,根本来不及抓关键信息点;好不容易抓到关键信息点了,又来不及写下来,今天新东方在线雅思为考生们带来雅思听力猜词技巧,希望大家可以利用雅思听力的猜词技巧。

一、利用句子中的关系词猜词句子中的关系词,对于句子结构的分析理解有着极其重要的作用。

利用好句子中的这些关系词,我们可以顺利理清听力录音中出现的生词与已知信息(即考生能听懂的听力信息)的关系,从而顺利猜出陌生词汇的意思,判断出该陌生词汇是否为解题关键信息点,同时也有利于增强对整篇录音文本意思的理解。

下面笔者将结合剑桥雅思4Test 1中的题目进行讲解说明。

烤鸭们在做剑桥雅思4 Test 1的第11题时,会听到以下对应的录音:”The water and the availability of rawmaterials in the area, like minerals and iron ore…”这是一段关于Riverside IndustrialVillage所拥有自然资源的介绍,句子结构非常清晰。

很多考生在听到”minerals and ironore”的时候,不禁眉头一皱,根本不知道”minerals and iron ore”这些陌生词汇为何物,从而做题效率以及心情大打折扣。

其实,利用好这个句子中的关系词,”minerals and ironore”这一串看似陌生的单词的意思是可以很容易地猜出来的。

下面我们一起来找一下这个句子中的关系词,其中非常明显的在听录音时也很容易听出来的一个举例关系词便是like这个举例关系词了。

这个句子前面出现的一个重要单词rawmaterials是原材料的意思,根据举例关系,可以猜测出”minerals and ironore”的意思范围为举例给出的两种原材料,猜测的意思与这两个词的真正意思也相距不远了,从而有利于对整段录音意思的理解以及判断该信息是否为解题关键。
