剑桥雅思阅读11原文(test2)READING PASSAGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.Raising the Mary RoseHow a sixteenth-century warship was recovered from the seabedOn 19 July 1545, English and French fleets were engaged in a sea battle off the coast of southern England in the area of water called the Solent, between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. Among the English vessels was a warship by the name of Mary Rose. Built in Portsmouth some 35 years earlier, she had had a long and successful fighting career, and was a favourite of King Henry VIII. Accounts of what happened to the ship vary: while witnesses agree that she was not hit by the French, some maintain that she was outdated, overladen and sailing too low in the water, others that she was mishandled by undisciplined crew. What is undisputed, however, is that the Mary Rose sank into the Solent that day, taking at least 500 men with her. After the battle, attempts were made to recover the ship, but these failed.The Mary Rose came to rest on the seabed, lying on her starboard (right) side at an angle of approximately 60 degrees. The hull (the body of the ship) acted as a trap for the sand and mud carried by Solent currents. As a result, the starboard sidefilled rapidly, leaving the exposed port (left) side to be eroded by marine organisms and mechanical degradation. Because of the way the ship sank, nearly all of the starboard half survived intact. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the entire site became covered with a layer of hard grey clay, which minimised further erosion.Then, on 16 June 1836, some fishermen in the Solent found that their equipment was caught on an underwater obstruction, which turned out to be the Mary Rose. Diver John Deane happened to be exploring another sunken ship nearby, and the fishermen approached him, asking him to free their gear. Deane dived down, and found the equipment caught on a timber protruding slightly from the seabed. Exploring further, he uncovered several other timbers and a bronze gun. Deane continued diving on the site intermittently until 1840, recovering several more guns, two bows, various timbers, part of a pump and various other small finds.The Mary Rose then faded into obscurity for another hundred years. But in 1965, military historian and amateur diver Alexander McKee, in conjunction with the British Sub-Aqua Club, initiated a project called ‘Solent Ships’. While on paper this was a plan to examine a number of known wrecks in the Solent, what McKee really hoped for was to find the Mary Rose. Ordinary search techniques proved unsatisfactory, so McKee entered into collaboration with Harold E. Edgerton, professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1967, Edgerton’s side-scan sonar systems revealed a large, unusually shaped object, which McKee believed was the Mary Rose.Further excavations revealed stray pieces of timber and aniron gun. But the climax to the operation came when, on 5 May 1971, part of the ship’s frame was uncovered. McKee and his team now knew for certain that they had found the wreck, but were as yet unaware that it also housed a treasure trove of beautifully preserved artefacts. Interest in the project grew, and in 1979, The Mary Rose Trust was formed, with Prince Charles as its President and Dr Margaret Rule its Archaeological Director. The decision whether or not to salvage the wreck was not an easy one, although an excavation in 1978 had shown that it might be possible to raise the hull. While the original aim was to raise the hull if at all feasible, the operation was not given the go-ahead until January 1982, when all the necessary information was available.An important factor in trying to salvage the Mary Rose was that the remaining hull was an open shell. This led to an important decision being taken: namely to carry out the lifting operation in three very distinct stages. The hull was attached to a lifting frame via a network of bolts and lifting wires. The problem of the hull being sucked back downwards into the mud was overcome by using 12 hydraulic jacks. These raised it a few centimetres over a period of several days, as the lifting frame rose slowly up its four legs. It was only when the hull was hanging freely from the lifting frame, clear of the seabed and the suction effect of the surrounding mud, that the salvage operation progressed to the second stage. In this stage, the lifting frame was fixed to a hook attached to a crane, and the hull was lifted completely clear of the seabed and transferred underwater into the lifting cradle. This required precise positioning to locate the legs into the ‘stabbing guides’ of the lifting cradle. The lifting cradle was designed to fit the hull using archaeological surveydrawings, and was fitted with air bags to provide additional cushioning for the hull’s delicate timber framework. The third and final stage was to lift the entire structure into the air, by which time the hull was also supported from below. Finally, on 11 October 1982, millions of people around the world held their breath as the timber skeleton of the Mary Rose was lifted clear of the water, ready to be returned home to Portsmouth.Questions 1-4Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 1-4 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this1 There is some doubt about what caused the Mary Rose to sink.2 The Mary Rose was the only ship to sink in the battle of 19 July 1545.3 Most of one side of the Mary Rose lay undamaged under the sea.4 Alexander McKee knew that the wreck would contain many valuable historical objects.Questions 5-8Look at the following statements (Questions 5-8) and the list of dates below.Match each statement with the correct date, A-G.Write the correct letter, A-G, in boxes 5-8 on your answer sheet.5 A search for the Mary Rose was launched.6 One person’s exploration of the Mary Rose site stopped.7 It was agreed that the hull of the Mary Rose should be raised.8 The site of the Mary Rose was found by chance.List of DatesA 1836 E 1971B 1840 F 1979C 1965 G 1982D 1967Questions 9-13Label the diagram below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 9-13 on your answer sheet.Raising the hull of the Mary Rose: Stages one and twoREADING PASSAGE 2You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-26, which are based on Reading Passage 2 on the following pages.Questions 14-20Reading Passage 2 has seven paragraphs, A-G.Choose the correct heading for each paragraph from the list of headings below.Write the correct number, i-ix, in boxes 14-20 on your answer sheet.List of Headingsi Evidence of innovative environment management practicesii An undisputed answer to a question about the moaiiii The future of the moai statuesiv A theory which supports a local beliefv The future of Easter Islandvi Two opposing views about the Rapanui peoplevii Destruction outside the inhabitants’ controlviii How the statues made a situation worseix Diminishing food resources14 Paragraph A15 Paragraph B16 Paragraph C17 Paragraph D18 Paragraph E19 Paragraph F20 Paragraph GWhat destroyed the civilisation of Easter Island?A Easter Island, or Rapu Nui as it is known locally, is home to several hundred ancient human statues ?— the moai. After this remote Pacific island was settled by the Polynesians, it remained isolated for centuries. All the energy and resources that went into the moai — some of which are ten metres tall and weigh over 7,000 kilos —came from the island itself. Yet when Dutch explorers landed in 1722, they met a Stone Age culture. The moai were carved with stone tools, then transported for many kilometres, without the use of animals or wheels, to massive stone platforms. The identity of the moai builders was in doubt until well into the twentieth century. Thor Heyerdahl, the Norwegian ethnographer and adventurer, thought the statues had been created by pre-lnca peoples from Peru. Bestselling Swiss author Erich von Daniken believed they were built by stranded extraterrestrials. Modern science —linguistic, archaeological and genetic evidence — has definitively proved the moai builders were Polynesians, but not how they moved their creations. Local folklore maintains that the statues walked, while researchers have tended to assume the ancestors draggedthe statues somehow, using ropes and logs.B When the Europeans arrived, Rapa Nui was grassland, with only a few scrawny trees. In the 1970s and 1980s, though, researchers found pollen preserved in lake sediments, which proved the island had been covered in lush palm forests for thousands of years. Only after the Polynesians arrived did those forests disappear. US scientist Jared Diamond believes that the Rapanui people — descendants of Polynesian settlers — wrecked their own environment. They had unfortunately settled on an extremely fragile island —dry, cool, and too remote to be properly fertilised by windblown volcanic ash. When the islanders cleared the forests for firewood and farming, the forests didn’t grow back. As trees became scarce and they could no longer construct wooden canoes for fishing, they ate birds. Soil erosion decreased their crop yields. Before Europeans arrived, the Rapanui had descended into civil war and cannibalism, he maintains. The collapse of their isolated civilisation, Diamond writes, is a ‘worst-case scenario for what may lie ahead of us in our own futu re’.C The moai, he thinks, accelerated the self-destruction. Diamond interprets them as power displays by rival chieftains who, trapped on a remote little island, lacked other ways of asserting their dominance. They competed by building ever bigger figures. Diamond thinks they laid the moai on wooden sledges, hauled over log rails, but that required both a lot of wood and a lot of people. To feed the people, even more land had to be cleared. When the wood was gone and civil war began, the islanders began toppling the moai. By the nineteenth century none were standing.D Archaeologists T erry Hunt of the University of Hawaii andCarl Lipo of California State University agree that Easter Island lost its lush forests and that it was an ‘ecological catastrophe’ —but they believe the islanders themselves weren’t to blame. And the moai certainly weren’t. Archaeological excavations indicate that the Rapanui went to heroic efforts to protect the resources of their wind-lashed, infertile fields. They built thousands of circular stone windbreaks and gardened inside them, and used broken volcanic rocks to keep the soil moist. In short, Hunt and Lipo argue, the prehistoric Rapanui were pioneers of sustainable farming.E Hunt and Lipo contend that moai-building was an activity that helped keep the peace between islanders. They also believe that moving the moai required few people and no wood, because they were walked upright. On that issue, Hunt and Lipo say, archaeological evidence backs up Rapanui folklore. Recent experiments indicate that as few as 18 people could, with three strong ropes and a bit of practice, easily manoeuvre a 1,000 kg moai replica a few hundred metres. The figures’ fat bellies tilted them forward, and a D-shaped base allowed handlers to roll and rock them side to side.F Moreover, Hunt and Lipo are convinced that the settlers were not wholly responsible for the loss of the island’s trees. Archaeological finds of nuts from the extinct Easter Island palm show tiny grooves, made by the teeth of Polynesian rats. The rats arrived along with the settlers, and in just a few years, Hunt and Lipo calculate, they would have overrun the island. They would have prevented the reseeding of the slow-growing palm trees and thereby doomed Rapa Nui’s forest, even withou t the settlers’ campaign of deforestation. No doubt the rats ate birds’ eggs too. Hunt and Lipo also see no evidence that Rapanuicivilisation collapsed when the palm forest did. They think its population grew rapidly and then remained more or less stable until the arrival of the Europeans, who introduced deadly diseases to which islanders had no immunity. Then in the nineteenth century slave traders decimated the population, which shrivelled to 111 people by 1877.G Hunt and Lipo’s vision, therefore, is one of an island populated by peaceful and ingenious moai builders and careful stewards of the land, rather than by reckless destroyers ruining their own environment and society. ‘Rather than a case of abject failure, Rapu Nui is an unlikely story of succe ss’, they claim. Whichever is the case, there are surely some valuable lessons which the world at large can learn from the story of Rapa Nui.Questions 21-24Complete the summary below.Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 21-24 on your answer sheet.Jared Diamond’s ViewDiamond believes that the Polynesian settlers on Rapa Nui destroyed its forests, cutting down its trees for fuel and clearing land for 21 __________. Twentieth-century discoveries of pollen prove that Rapu Nui had once been covered in palm forests, which had turned into grassland by the time the Europeans arrived on the island. When the islanders were no longer able to build the 22 __________ they needed to go fishing, they began using the island’s 23 __________ as a food source, according to Diamond. Diamond also claims that the moai were built to show the power of the island’s chieftains, and that the methods of transporting the statues needed not only a great number of people, but also a great deal of 24 __________.Questions 25 and 26Choose TWO letters, A-E.Write the correct letters in boxes 25 and 26 on your answer sheet.On what points do Hunt and Lipo disagree with Diamond?A the period when the moai were createdB how the moai were transportedC the impact of the moai on Rapanui societyD how the moai were carvedE the origins of the people who made the moaiREADING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.NeuroaestheticsAn emerging discipline called neuroaesthetics is seeking to bring scientific objectivity to the study of art, and has already given us a better understanding of many masterpieces. The blurred imagery of Impressionist paintings seems to stimulate the brain’s amygdala, for instance. Since the amygdala plays a crucial role in our feelings, that finding might explain why many people find these pieces so moving.Could the same approach also shed light on abstract twentieth-century pieces, from Mondrian’s geometri cal blocks of colour, to Pollock’s seemingly haphazard arrangements of splashed paint on canvas? Sceptics believe that people claim to like such works simply because they are famous. We certainly do have an inclination to follow the crowd. When asked to make simple perceptual decisions such as matching a shape to its rotated image, for example, people often choose a definitively wrong answer if they see others doing the same. It is easy toimagine that this mentality would have even more impact on a fuzzy concept like art appreciation, where there is no right or wrong answer.Angelina Hawley-Dolan, of Boston College, Massachusetts, responded to this debate by asking volunteers to view pairs of paintings — either the creations of famous abstract artists or the doodles of infants, chimps and elephants. They then had to judge which they preferred. A third of the paintings were given no captions, while many were labelled incorrectly —volunteers might think they were viewing a chimp’s messy brushstrokes when they were actually seeing an acclaimed masterpiece. In each set of trials, volunteers generally preferred the work of renowned artists, even when they believed it was by an animal or a child. It seems that the viewer can sense the artist’s vision in paintings, even if they can’t explain why.Robert Pepperell, an artist based at Cardiff University, creates ambiguous works that are neither entirely abstract nor clearly representational. In one study, Pepperell and his collaborators asked volunteers to decide how ‘powerful’ they considered an artwork to be, and whether they saw anything familiar in the piece. The longer they took to answer these questions, the more highly they rated the piece under scrutiny, and the greater their neural activity. It would seem that the brain sees these images as puzzles, and the harder it is to decipher the meaning, the more rewarding is the moment of recognition.And what about artists such as Mondrian, whose paintings consist exclusively of horizontal and vertical lines encasing blocks of colour? Mondrian’s works are deceptively simple, but eye-tracking studies confirm that they are meticulously composed, and that simply rotating a piece radically changes the way weview it. With the originals, volunteers’ eyes tended to stay longer on certain places in the image, but with the altered versions they would flit across a piece more rapidly. As a result, the volunteers considered the altered versions less pleasurable when they later rated the work.In a similar study, Oshin Vartanian of Toronto University asked volunteers to compare original paintings with ones which he had altered by moving objects around within the frame. He found that almost everyone preferred the original, whether it was a Van Gogh still life or an abstract by Miro. Vartanian also found that changing the composition of the paintings reduced activation in those brain areas linked with meaning and interpretation.In another experiment, Alex Forsythe of the University of Liverpool analysed the visual intricacy of different pieces of art, and her results suggest that many artists use a key level of detail to please the brain. Too little and the work is boring, but too much results in a kind of ‘perceptual overload’; according to Forsythe. What’s more, appealing pieces both abstract and representational, show signs of ‘fractals’ —repeated motifs recurring in different scales. Fractals are common throughout nature, for example in the shapes of mountain peaks or the branches of trees. It is possible that our visual system, which evolved in the great outdoors, finds it easier to process such patterns.It is also intriguing that the brain appears to process movement when we see a handwritten letter, as if we are replaying the writer’s moment of creation. This has led some to won der whether Pollock’s works feel so dynamic because the brain reconstructs the energetic actions the artist used as hepainted. This may be down to our brain’s ‘mirror neurons’, which are known to mimic others’ actions. The hypothesis will need to be thoroughly tested, however. It might even be the case that we could use neuroaesthetic studies to understand the longevity of some pieces of artwork. While the fashions of the time might shape what is currently popular, works that are best adapted to our visual system may be the most likely to linger once the trends of previous generations have been forgotten.It’s still early days for the field of neuroaesthetics — and these studies are probably only a taste of what is to come. It would, however, be foolish to reduce art appreciation to a set of scientific laws. We shouldn’t underestimate the importance of the style of a particular artist, their place in history and the artistic environment of their time. Abstract art offers both a challenge and the freedom to play with different interpretations. In some ways, it’s not so different to science, where we are constantly looking for systems and decoding meaning so that we can view and appreciate the world in a new way.Questions 27-30Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.Write the correct letter in boxes 27-30 on your answer sheet.27 In the second paragraph, the writer refers to a shape-matching test in order to illustrateA the subjective nature of art appreciation.B the reliance of modern art on abstract forms.C our tendency to be influenced by the opinions of others.D a common problem encountered when processing visual data.28 Angelina Hawley-Dolan’s findings indicate that peopleA mostly favour works of art which they know well.B hold fixed ideas about what makes a good work of art.C are often misled by their initial expectations of a work of art.D have the ability to perceive the intention behind works of art.29 Results of studies involving Robert Pepperell’s pieces suggest that peopleA can appreciate a painting without fully understanding it.B find it satisfying to work out what a painting represents.C vary widely in the time they spend looking at paintings.D generally prefer representational art to abstract art.30 What do the experiments described in the fifth paragraph suggest about the paintings of Mondrian?A They are more carefully put together than they appear.B They can be interpreted in a number of different ways.C They challenge our assumptions about shape and colour.D They are easier to appreciate than many other abstract works.Questions 31-33Complete the summary using the list of words, A-H, below.Write the correct letters, A-H, in boxes 31-33 on your answer sheet.Art and the BrainThe discipline of neuroaesthetics aims to bring scientific objectivity to the study of art.

The Beijing Olympics started on 08.08.08, but on 07.07.07 there was an event of almost equal importance, On that earlier date, the new Seven Wonders of the World wereannounced.Thesereplacedmost of the original ancient ones, although Egypt's Pyramids were given an honorary place. The final revised list included the ancient stone city of Petra in Jordan and the ruined city of Machu Picchu in Peru. Italy's Colosseum, India's Taj Mahal and Mexico's Chichen Itza were three magnificent buildings that were included, and Brazil's towering statue of Christ the Redeemer, which was only built in 1931, joined the older members of the list. And, needless to say, the updated list would have been incomplete without the inc1usion of AChina's Great Wall, which was built to defend the country from invaders. Those sites, are very popular, and people travel from all over the world to view them, but other than looking at them, there's very little else to do. Tourist companies in cities, towns or villages want to get people to come and have a good time and spend their money, so they have to dream up ways of attracting the tourists. Then they have to keep them there by providing them with something different, exciting or even downright dangerous to do; the trick, though, is to think of something unique.That could be something like New Zealand's original bungy jumping, for example, where a stretchy rope is tied around your ankles and you jump from a great height, stopping (hopefully) just before the ground. Or it could be dragon boat races, for instance, which take place in China each year on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar. If you say bungy, people immediately think of New Zealand, and if you say dragon boat, people at once think of China, but you can do bungy jumps in other parts of the world, and you can see dragon boat racing in Singapore or other places overseas.Big cities usually have many attractions to keep tourists happy, but smaller towns or villages find it difficult and they sometimes struggle. Some fail, but others manage to put themselves on the map and attract large numbers of visitors. They do this by organizing events that are not available anywhere else in the whole wide world. Take Cooper's Hill in England for instance: they roll a large cheese down a steep hill and hundreds of people chase after it. Many fall and are hurt, but the last person standing at the bottom of the hill can keep the cheese.A similar downhill event takes place in Suwa, Japan, where men only sit on a huge log, one behind the other, and try to ride it down a steep hill without falling off and being injured or worse. Why do they do it? Other than the sense of pride and relief at making it to the bottom of the hill in one piece, there is no prize, no money, nothing. Or take the town of Sonkajarvi in Finland; it organises a yearly wife-carrying competition in which the man must carry the woman and run along the ground and through water. The first couple to cross the winning line get the prize ... the wife's weight in beer!Then there's Bunol, Spain. On the last Wednesday in August, they have a food fight. It's called La Tomatina, and up to 40,000 people can gather in the streets and throw ripe tomatoes at each other. As you can imagine, it's very, very messy, but great fun. Another fun festival which is just as messy, if not messier, occurs every summer in Boryeong, South Korea. During the annual Mud Festival, people, especially foreigners, let their hair down and play and wrestle in the mud. Most of these events, apart from the Finnish one, which has been imitated elsewhere, are truly unique because they can't be found anywhere else in the world.B C D E FGFrom a tourism provider's point of view, tourism is all about how to attract people to your area, and then keep them there long enough to spend money. There needs to be a 'point of difference', something that makes your site, festival or attraction really stand out in a crowded market. Some places are lucky enough to have one of the great wonders of the world. Others have a special annual festival or event which is too good to be missed. The rest have to rely on spectacular scenery, seasonal conditions, such as winter snow, or unique activities and adventure sports to keep the flow of tourists rolling in.5 Quickly SCAN the first paragraph of the reading passage and fill in the details of the man-made structures in the table below.Country Wonder Type of Structure1 Mexico2 Petra3 statue4 city5 Colosseum6 India7 fortification(for defence) Skimming to Summarise the Main Idea6 Look at the FIRST sentence of each paragraph, and then work with a partner to complete a brief summary of this reading passage.

Then they have to keep them there by providing them with something different, exciting or even downright dangerous to do; the trick, though, is to think of something unique.C That could be something like New Zealand's original bungy jump, for example, where a stretchy rope is tied around your ankles and you jump from a great height, stopping (hopefully) just before the ground .... Or it could be dragon boat races, for instance, which take place each year on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar....D Big cities usually have many attractions to keep tourists happy, but smaller towns or villages find it difficult and they sometimes struggle. Some fail, but others manage to put themselvesh on the map and attract large numbers of visitors. They do this by organising; events that are not available anywhere else in the whole wide world. Take Cooper’s Hill in England for instance: they roll a large cheese down asteep hill and hundreds of people chase after it. Many fall and are hurt, but the last person standing at the bottom of the hill can keep the cheese.。

剑11雅思阅读Test1passage2原文+译文：法尔柯克水轮READING PASSAGE 2THE FALKIRK WHEELA unique engineering achievementThe Falkirk Wheel in Scotland is the world’s first and only rotating boat lift. Opened in 2002, it is central to the ambitious ￡84.5m Millennium Link project to restore navigability across Scotland by reconnecting the historic waterways of the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals.The major challenge of the project lay in the fact that the Forth & Clyde Canal is situated 35 metres below the level of the Union Canal. Historically, the two canals had been joined near the town of Falkirk by a sequence of 11 locks — enclosed sections of canal in which the water level could be raised or lowered — that stepped down across a distance of 1.5 km. This had been dismantled in 1933, thereby breaking the link. When the project was launched in 1994, the British Waterways authority were keen to create a dramatic twenty-first-century landmark which would not only be a fitting commemoration of the Millennium, but also a lasting symbol of the economic regeneration of the region.Numerous ideas were submitted for the project, including concepts ranging from rolling eggs to tilting tanks, from giant see-saws to overhead monorails. The eventual winner was a plan for the huge rotating steel boat lift which was to become The Falkirk Wheel. The unique shape of the structure is claimed to have been inspired by various sources, both manmade and natural, most notably a Celtic double-headed axe, but also the vast turning propeller of a ship, the ribcage of a whale or the spine of a fish.The various parts of The Falkirk Wheel were all constructed and assembled, like one giant toy building set, at Butterley Engineering’s Steelworks in Derbyshire, some 400 km from Falkirk. A team there carefully assembled the 1,200 tonnes of steel, painstakingly fitting the pieces together to an accuracy of just 10 mm to ensure a perfect final fit. In the summer of 2001, the structure was then dismantled and transported on 35 lorries to Falkirk, before all being bolted back together again on the ground, and finally lifted into position in five large sections by crane. The Wheel would need to withstand immense and constantly changing stresses as it rotated, so to make the structure more robust, the steel sections were bolted rather than welded together. Over 45,000 bolt holes were matched with their bolts, and each bolt was hand-tightened.The Wheel consists of two sets of opposing axe-shaped arms, attached about 25 metres apart to a fixed central spine. Two diametrically opposed water-filled ‘gondolas’,each with a capacity of 360,000 litres, are fitted between the ends of the arms. These gondolas always weigh the same, whether or not they are carrying boats. This is because, according to Archimedes’ principle of displacement, floating objects displace their own weight inwater. So when a boat enters a gondola, the amount of water leaving the gondola weighs exactly the same as the boat. This keeps the Wheel balanced and so, despite its enormous mass, it rotates through 180° in five and a half minutes while using very little power. It takes just 1.5 kilowatt-hours (5.4 MJ) of energy to rotate the Wheel — roughly the same as boiling eight small domestic kettles of water.Boats needing to be lifted up enter the canal basin at the level of the Forth & Clyde Canal and then enter the lower gondola of the Wheel. Two hydraulic steel gates are raised, so as to seal the gondola off from the water in the canal basin. The water between the gates is then pumped out.A hydraulic clamp, which prevents the arms of the Wheel moving while the gondola is docked, is removed, allowing the Wheel to turn. In the central machine room an array of ten hydraulic motors then begins to rotate the central axle. The axle connects to the outer arms of the Wheel, which begin to rotate at a speed of 1/8 of a revolution per minute. As the wheel rotates, the gondolas are kept in the upright position by a simple gearing system. Two eight-metre-wide cogs orbit a fixed inner cog of the same width, connected by two smaller cogs travelling in the opposite direction to the outer cogs — so ensuring that the gondolas always remain level. When the gondola reaches the top, the boat passes straight onto the aqueduct situated 24 metres above the canal basin.The remaining 11 metres of lift needed to reach the Union Canal is achieved by means of a pair of locks. The Wheel could not be constructed to elevate boats over the full 35-metre difference between the two canals, owing to the presence of the historically important Antonine Wall, which was built by the Romans in the second century AD. Boats travel under this wall via a tunnel, then through the locks, and finally on to the Union Canal.PASSAGE 2参考译文：法尔柯克水轮一个独一无二的工程学成就苏格兰的法尔柯克水轮是世界上首个也是唯一一个船只升降转轮。

I wanted to enquire about hiring a room in the Village Hall, for the evening of September the first.OFFICIAL：Let me just see … Yes, we have both rooms available that evening. There’s our Main Hall - that’s got seating for 200 people. Or there's the Charlton Room ...WOMAN：Sorry?OFFICIAL：The Charlton Room - C-H-A-R L-T-O-N. That’s got seating for up to o ne hundred.WOMAN：Well, weYe organising a dinner to raise money for a charity, and weYe hoping for at least 150 people, so I think we5ll go for the Main Hall. How much would that cost?OFFICIAL：Lefs see. You wanted it for the evening of September 1st?WOMAN：Yes，that’s a SaturdayOFFICIAL：So from six pm to midnight thafd be £115 - that’s the weekend price，it’s £75 on weekdays.WOMAN：That’s all right.OFFICIAL：And I have to tell you there’s also a deposit of £250, which is returnable of course as long as ther e’s no damage. But we do insist that this is paid in cash, we don’t take cards for that. You can pay the actual rent of the room however you like though - cash, credit card, cheque ...WOMAN：Oh, well I suppose thafs OK. So does the charge include use of tables and chairs and so on?OFFICIAL：Oh, yes.WOMAN：And what about parking?OFFICIAL：Yeah, that’s all included. The only thing that isn’t included is … you said you were organising a dinner?WOMAN：Yeah.OFFICIAL：Well，you’ll have to pay extra for the kitchen if you want to use that. It’s £25. It’s got very good facilities - good quality cookers and fridges and so on.WOMAN：OK, well I suppose thafs all right. We can cover the cost in our entry charges.OFFICIAL：Right. So I'ІІ make a note of that. Now there are just one or two things you need to think about before the event. For example, voull have to see about getting a licence if vouYe planning to have any music during the meal.WOMAN：Oh, really?OFFICIAL：Ifs quite straightforward, I'ІІgive you the details later on. And about a week or ten days before your event you’ll need to contact the caretaker，that’s Mr Evans， to make the arrangements for entry —he’ll sort that out with you.WOMAN：And do I give him the payment as well?OFFICIAL：No, you do that directly with me.WOMAN：Right. Now is there anything I need to know about what happens during the event?OFFICIAL：Well, as youJll be aware, of course the building is no smoking throughout.WOMAN：Of course.OFFICIAL：Now, are you having a band?WOMAN：YesOFFICIAL：Well, they’ll have a lot of equipment, so rather than using the front door they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there. You can open that from inside but don't forget to lock it at the end.WOMAN：OK.OFFICIAL：And talking of bands, sure I don't need to tell you this, but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black box by the fire door - that’s a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain level. Ifs a legal requirement.WOMAN：Sure. Anyway, we wa nt people to be able to talk to one another so we don’t want anything too loud. Oh, that reminds me, we'll be having speeches - are there any microphones available?OFFICIAL：Yeah. Just let the caretaker know, he get those for you. Right, now when the event is over we do ask that the premises are left in good condition. So there's a locked cupboard andvoull be informed of the code you need to open that. It’s got all the cleaning equipment, brushes and detergent and so onWOMAN：Right. So what do we need to do after everyone's gone? Sweep the floors I suppose?OFFICIAL：Well, actually they have to be washed, not just swept. Then you’ll be provided with black plastic bags, so all the rubbish must be collected up and left outside the doorWOMAN：Of course. Well make sure everything's left tidy. Oh, and I forgot to ask, I presume we can have decorations in the room?OFFICIAL：Yes, but you must take them down afterwards.WOMAN：Sure.OFFICIAL：And the chairs and tables should be stacked up neatly at the back of the roomWOMAN：I'ІІ make sure I'ѵе got a few people to help me.(2).【A2】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：(£ )115 / а/one hundred (and) fifteen）解析：(3).【A3】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：cash）解析：(4).【A4】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：parking）解析：(5).【A5】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：music）解析：(6).【A6】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：entry）解析：(7).【A7】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：stage）解析：(8).【A8】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：code）解析：(9).【A9】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：floor/floors）解析：(10).【A10】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：decoration/decorations）解析：SECTION 2（分数：10）SECTION 2（分数：10）(1).There are four questions belowComplete the notes below.Write ONE WORD for each answer.【B1】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：animal/animais）解析：听力原文：Welcome to the Fiddy Working Heritage Farm. This open-air museum gives you the experience of agriculture and rural life in the English countryside at the end of the nineteenth century. So you'll see a typical farm of that period, and like me, all the staff are dressed in clothes of that time.I must give you some advice and safety tips before we go any further. As ifs a working farm, please don4 frighten or injure the animals. We have a lot here, and many of them are breeds that are now quite rare.And do stay at a safe distance from the tools: some of them have sharp points which can be pretty dan gerous, so please don;t touch them. We don’t want аnу accidents， do we?The ground is very uneven，and you might slip if you’re wearing sandals so I’m alad to see vouYe all wearing shoes - we always advise people to do that.Now, children of all ages are very welcome here, and usually even very young children love the ducks and lambs, so do bring them along next time you come.I don;t think any of you have brought dogs with you, but in case you have, Гтafraid thevll have to stay in the car park, unless thevYe guide dogs. I，m sure you’ll understand that they could cause a lot of problems on a farm.Now let me give you some idea of the layout of the farm. The building where you bought your tickets is the New Barn, immediately to your right, and weYe now at the beginning of the main path to the farmland - and of course the car park is on your left. The scarecrow vou can see in the car park in the corner, beside the main path, is a traditional figure for keeping the birds away from crops, but our scarecrow is a permanent sculpture, ifs taller than a human being, so you can see it from quite a distance.If vou look ahead of vou. voull see a maze. Ifs opposite the New Barn, beside the side path that branches off to the right just over there. The maze is made out of hedges which are too tall for young children to see over them, but ifs quite small, so you canJt get lost in it!Now, can you see the bridge crossing the fish pool further up the main path? If vou want to go to the cafe, go towards the bridge and turn right just before it. Walk along the side path and the cafe's on the first bend vou come to. The building was originally the schoolhouse, and ifs well over a hundred years old.As you may know, we run skills workshops here, where you can learn traditional crafts like woodwork and basket-making. You can see examples of the work, and talk to someone about the courses, in the Black Barn. If vou take the side path to the right, here, just by the New Barn, voull come to the Black Barn just where the path first bends.Now I mustn't forget to tell you about picnicking, as I can see some of you have brought your lunch with you. You can picnic in the field, though do clear up behind you, of course. Or if you’d prefer a covered picnic area, there’s one near the farmvard: just after vou cross the bridge, there's a covered picnic spot on the right.And the last thing to mention is Fiddv House itself. From here vou can cross the bridge then walk along the footpath through the field to the left of the farmyard. That goes to the house, and it’ll give you a lovely view of it. It’s certainly worth a few photographs, but as it’s a private home, I'm afraid you canl go inside.Right. Well, if youYe all ready, well set off on our tour of the farm.(2).【B2】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：tool/tools）解析：(3).【B3】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：shoes）解析：(4).【B4】（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：dog/dogs）解析：(5).There are six questions below,Label the map below.Write the correct letter A-I.Scarecrow ...............（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：F）解析：(6).Maze ...............（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：G）解析：(7).Cafe ...............（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：D）解析：(8).Black Barn ...............（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：H）解析：(9).Covered picnic area ...............（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：C）解析：(10).Fiddy House ...............（分数：1）填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：A）解析：SECTION 3（分数：10）SECTION 3（分数：10）(1).There are ten questions belowChoose the correct letter, A, В or C.The students in Akira Miyake’s study were all majoring in（分数：1）A.physics.B.psychology or physics.C.science, technology, engineering or mathematics. √解析：听力原文：Lisa ：OK, Greg, so I finally managed to read the article you mentioned - the one about the study on gender in physicsGreg ：About the study of college students done by Akira Miyake and his team? Yeah. I was interested that the researchers were actually a mix of psychologists and physicists. That’s an unusual combination.Lisa ： Yeah. I got a little confused at first about which students the study was based on. They weren’t actually majoring in physics —they were majoring in whafs known as the STEM disciplines. Thafs science, technology, engineering and ...Greg ： ... and math. Yes, but they were all doing physics courses as part of their studies.Lisa ： That's correct. So as I understood it, Miyake and со started from the fact that women are underrepresented in introductory physics courses at college, and also that on average, the women who do enrol on these courses perform more poorly than the men. No one really knows why this is the case.Greg：Yeah. But what the researchers wanted to find out was basically what they could do about the relatively low level of the women's results. But in order to find a solution they needed to find out more about the nature of the problem.Lisa ： Right - now lefs see if I can remember... it was that in the physics class, the female students thought the male students all assumed that women weren’t any good at physics ... was that it? And they thought that the men expected them to get poor results in their tests.Greg ： Thafs what the women thought, and that made them nervous, so they did get poor results. But actually they were wrong ... No one was making anv assumptions about the female students at all.Lisa ： Anyway, what Miyake^ team did was quite simple - getting the students to do some writing before they went into the physics class. What did they call it?Greg：Values-affirmation - they had to write an essay focusing on things that were significant to them, not particularly to do with the subject they were studying, but more general things like music, or people who mattered to them.Lisa ：Right. So the idea of doing the writing is that this gets the students thinking in a positive wayGreg ： And putting these thoughts into words can relax them and help them overcomethe psychological factors that lead to poor performance. Yeah. But what the researchers in the study hadn't expected was that this one activity raised the womens physics grades from the C to the В range.Lisa ： A huge change. Pity it wasn't to an A, but still! No, but it does suggest that the women were seriously underperforming beforehand, in comparison with the men.Greg ： Yes. Mind you, Miyake's article left out a lot of details. Like, did the students do the writing just once, or several times? And had they been told why they were doing the writing? That might have affected the results.Lisa ：You mean, if they know the researchers thought it might help them to improve, then they'd just try to fulfil that expectation?Greg： Exactly.Greg ：So anyway, I thought for our project we could do a similar study, but investigate whether it really was the writing activity that had that result.Lisa ： OK. So we could ask them to do a writing task about something completely different... something more factual? Like a general knowledge topic.Greg ：Maybe ... or we could have half the students doing a writing task and half doing something else, like an oral task.Lisa ：Or even, half do the same writing task as in the original research and half do a factual writing task. Then we'd see if it really is the topic that made the difference, or something else.Greg ：Thafs it. Good. So at our meeting with the supervisor on Monday we can tell him weVe decided on our project. We should have our aims ready by then. I suppose we need to read the original study - the article’s just a summary.Lisa ：And there was another article I read, by Smolinsky. It was about her research on how women and men perform in mixed teams in class, compared with single-sex teams and on their own.Greg ： Let me guess ... the women were better at teamwork.Lisa : Th at’s what I expected，but actually the men and the women got the same results whether they were working in teams or on their own. But I guess it’s not that relevant to us.Greg ： What worries me anyway is how we're going to get everything done in the time.Lisa ：We’ll be 〇K now we know what we’re doing. Though I’m not clear how we assess whether the students in our experiment actually make any progress or not...Greg：No. We may need some advice on that. The main thing’s to make sure we have the right siz e sample, not too big or too small.Lisa ： That shouldn't be difficult. Right, what do we need to do next? We could have a look at the timetable for the science classes ... or perhaps we should just make an appointment to see one of the science professors. Thafd be better.Greg ： Great. And we could even get to observe one of the classes.Lisa ： What for?Greg ： Well ... OK maybe let's just go with your idea. Right, well ...(2).The aim of Miyake’s study was to investigate（分数：1）A.what kind of women choose to study physics.B.a way of improving women’s performance in physics.√C.whether fewer women than men study physics at college.解析：(3).The female physics students were wrong to believe that（分数：1）A.the teachers marked them in an unfair way.B.the male students expected them to do badly. √C.their test results were lower than the male students’.解析：(4).Miyake’s team asked the students to write about（分数：1）A.what they enjoyed about studying physics.B.the successful experiences of other people.C.something that was important to them personally. √解析：(5).What was the aim of the writing exercise done by the subjects?（分数：1）A.to reduce stress √B.to strengthen verbal abilityC.to encourage logical thinking解析：(6).What surprised the researchers about the study?（分数：1）A.how few students managed to get A gradesB.the positive impact it had on physics results for women √C.the difference between male and female performance解析：(7).Greg and Lisa think Miyake’s re sults could have been affected by（分数：1）A.the length of the writing task.B.the number of students who took part.C.the information the students were given. √解析：(8).Greg and Lisa decide that in their own project, they will compare the effects of（分数：1）A.two different writing tasks。

Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about three billion people by then. An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% larger than Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming methods continue as they are practised today. At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use. Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices. What can be done to ensure enough food for the world’s population to live on?The concept of indoor farming is not new, since hothouse production of tomatoes and other produce has been in vogue for some time. What is new is the urgent need to scale up this technology to accommodate another three billion people. Many believe an entirely new approach to indoor farming is required, employing cutting-edge technologies. One such proposal is for the ‘Vertical Farm’. The concept is of multi-storey buildings in which food crops are grown in environmentally controlled conditions. Situated in the heart of urban centres, they would drastically reduce the amount of transportation required to bring food to consumers. Vertical farms would need to be efficient, cheap to construct and safe to operate. If successfully implemented, proponents claim, vertical farms offer the promise of urban renewal, sustainable production of a safe and varied food supply (through year-round production of all crops), and the eventual repair of ecosystems that have been sacrificed for horizontal farming.It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow most of the crops we now take for granted. Along the way, we despoiled most of the land we worked, often turning verdant, natural ecozones into semi-arid deserts. Within that same time frame, we evolved into an urban species, in which 60% of the human population now lives vertically in cities. This means that, for the majority, we humans have shelter from the elements, yet we subject our food-bearing plants to the rigours of the great outdoors and can do no more than hope for a good weather year. However, more often than not now, due to a rapidly changing climate, that is not what happens. Massive floods, long droughts, hurricanes and severe monsoons take their toll each year, destroying millions of tons of valuable crops.The supporters of vertical farming claim many potential advantages for the system. For instance, crops would be produced all year round, as they would be kept in artificially controlled, optimum growing conditions. There would be no weather-related crop failures due to droughts, floods or pests. All the food could be grown organically, eliminating the need for herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers. The system would greatly reduce the incidence of many infectious diseases that are acquired at theagricultural interface. Although the system would consume energy, it would return energy to the grid via methane generation from composting non-edible parts of plants. It would also dramatically reduce fossil fuel use, by cutting out the need for tractors, ploughs and shipping.A major drawback of vertical farming, however, is that the plants would require artificial light. Without it, those plants nearest the windows would be exposed to more sunlight and grow more quickly, reducing the efficiency of the system. Single-storey greenhouses have the benefit of natural overhead light: even so, many still need artificial lighting. A multi-storey facility with no natural overhead light would require far more. Generating enough light could be prohibitively expensive, unless cheap, renewable energy is available, and this appears to be rather a future aspiration than a likelihood for the near future.One variation on vertical farming that has been developed is to grow plants in stacked trays that move on rails. Moving the trays allows the plants to get enough sunlight. This system is already in operation, and works well within a single-storey greenhouse with light reaching it from above: it is not certain, however, that it can be made to work without that overhead natural light.Vertical farming is an attempt to address the undoubted problems that we face in producing enough food for a growing population. At the moment, though, more needs to be done to reduce the detrimental impact it would have on the environment, particularly as regards the use of energy. While it is possible that much of our food will be grown in skyscrapers in future, most experts currently believe it is far more likely that we will simply use the space available on urban rooftops.作物生长的“摩天大厦”到2050年，近80%的地球人口将在城市中心生活。
【第一时间】《剑桥雅思真题11》之阅读分析
【第一时间】《剑桥雅思真题11》之阅读分析从话题类型来说，根据统计可以看出，雅思阅读的考试话题一直广泛多样。
而题型则稳中有变。
以剑桥11的test 4为例。
出现的三篇文章分别是社会科学类，艺术类，还有语言类。
具体来说，从话题的难易程度来看，三篇文章基本是按照依次变难的顺序来排列。
而题型的分布，我们从上图中我们可以看出，在剑桥11中，判断题占据的题目个数，约为1/4的量。
从考查的频率来看，这和2015全年雅思考试中判断题的考察频次保持一致。
而其他题型的考查也主要是摘要填空，配对题和选择题。
所以同学们在准备考试的时候，还是应该将精力集中在常见题型上面。
同学们可以根据题型的难易，结合自己的目标分数做有针对性的练习。
目标分数5-5.5：夯实基础——填空题。
句子填空在雅思阅读中属于细节题，遵循顺序性的原则，是一种相对容易得分的题型。
句子填空题首先是判断定位词；然后解题前可以对所填答案做一个预判断——判断词性及题干的空格与前后文之间的逻辑关系即主谓关系、动宾关系、并列关系、举例关系、等义关系、偏正关系等；之后再在原文中找寻关键词，如果找不到，则应考虑对关键词做同义替换；最后根据关键词所在句或前后句及逻辑关系填写答案，同时注意答案为“原文原词”的原则及题干词汇数的要求。
以test1前三题为例：1.Some food plants, including____, are already grown indoors.这是一个被动语态，根据indoor farming的标题，定位到原文第二段，The concept of indoor farming is not new, sincehothouse production of tomatoes and other produce has been in vogue for sometime.结合意思，这个indoor farming的概念并不新颖，对应题目中的already,而production则变成了被动的grown,因此这个题目的答案为tomatoes.2. Vertical farms would be located in _____,meaningthat there would be less need to take them long distances to customers.根据关键词Vertical farms定位第二段右侧段第三行所在句。

剑桥雅思11Test2Passage3阅读原文+译文：神经美学READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.NeuroaestheticsAn emerging discipline called neuroaesthetics is seeking to bring scientific objectivity to the study of art, and has already given us a better understanding of many masterpieces. The blurred imagery of Impressionist paintings seems to stimulate the brain’s amygdala, for instance. Since the amygdala plays a crucial role in our feelings, that finding might explain why many people find these pieces so moving.Could the same approach also shed light on abstract twentieth-century pieces, from Mondrian’s geometrical blocks of colour, to Pollock’s seemingly haphazard arrangements of splashed paint on canvas? Sceptics believe that people claim to like such works simply because they are famous. We certainly do have an inclination to follow the crowd. When asked to make simple perceptual decisions such as matching a shape to its rotated image, for example, people often choose a definitively wrong answer if they see others doing the same. It is easy to imagine that this mentality would have even more impact on a fuzzy concept like art appreciation, where there is no right or wrong answer.Angelina Hawley-Dolan, of Boston College, Massachusetts, responded to this debate by asking volunteers to view pairs of paintings — either the creations of famous abstract artists or the doodles of infants, chimps and elephants. They then had to judge which they preferred. A third of the paintings were given no captions, while many were labelled incorrectly — volunteers might think they were viewing a chimp’s messy brushstrokes when they were actually seeing an acclaimed masterpiece. In each set of trials, volunteers generally preferred the work of renowned artists, even when they believed it was by an animal or a child. It seems that the viewer can sense the artist’s vision in paintings, even if they can’t explain why.Robert Pepperell, an artist based at Cardiff University, creates ambiguous works that are neither entirely abstract nor clearly representational. In one study, Pepperell and his collaborators asked volunteers to decide how ‘powerful’ they considered an artwork to be, and whether they saw anything familiar in the piece. The longer they took to answer these questions, the more highly they rated the piece under scrutiny, and the greater their neural activity. It would seem that the brain sees theseimages as puzzles, and the harder it is to decipher the meaning, the more rewarding is the moment of recognition.And what about artists such as Mondrian, whose paintings consist exclusively of horizontal and vertical lines encasing blocks of colour? Mondrian’s works are deceptively simple, but eye-tracking studies confirm that they are meticulously composed, and that simply rotating a piece radically changes the way we view it. With the originals, volunteers’ eyes tended to stay longer on certain places in the image, but with the altered versions they would flit across a piece more rapidly. As a result, the volunteers considered the altered versions less pleasurable when they later rated the work.In a similar study, Oshin Vartanian of Toronto University asked volunteers to compare original paintings with ones which he had altered by moving objects around within the frame. He found that almost everyone preferred the original, whether it was a Van Gogh still life or an abstract by Miro. Vartanian also found that changing the composition of the paintings reduced activation in those brain areas linked with meaning and interpretation.In another experiment, Alex Forsythe of the University of Liverpool analysed the visual intricacy of different pieces of art, and her results suggest that many artists use a key level of detail to please the brain. Too little and the work is boring, but too much results in a kind of ‘perceptual overload’; according to Forsythe. What’s more, appealing pieces both abstract and representational, show signs of ‘fractals’— repeated motifs recurring in different scales. Fractals are common throughout nature, for example in the shapes of mountain peaks or the branches of trees. It is possible that our visual system, which evolved in the great outdoors, finds it easier to process such patterns.It is also intriguing that the brain appears to process movement when we see a handwritten letter, as if we are replaying the writer’s moment of creation. This has led some to wonder whether Pollock’s works feel so dynamic because the brain reconstructs the energetic actions the artist used as he painted. This may be down to our brain’s ‘mirror neurons’, which are known to mimic others’ actions. The hypothesis will need to be thoroughly tested, however. It might even be the case that we could use neuroaesthetic studies to understand the longevity of some pieces of artwork. While the fashions of the time might shape what is currently popular, works that are best adapted to our visual system may be the most likely to linger once the trends of previous generations have been forgotten.It’s still early days for the field of neuroaesthetics — and these studies are probably only a taste of what is to come. It would, however, be foolish to reduce art appreciation to a set of scientific laws. We shouldn’t underestimate the importance of the style of a particular artist, their place in history and the artistic environment of their time. Abstract art offers both a challenge and the freedom to play with different interpretations. In some ways, it’s not so different to science, where we are constantly looking for systems and decoding meaning so that we can view and。

She sat down in the exam hall with her pencil and paper ready. The test had four parts - reading, writing, listening, and speaking. She focused on each section, answering the questions to the best of her ability.After three hours of intense concentration, the test was finally over. Lily felt relieved but also worried. She wasn't sure if she had done well enough to pass. She waited anxiously for the results.A few weeks later, Lily received her score. She had passed with flying colors! She was over the moon and couldn't believe it. She had achieved her dream of studying abroad.Lily's hard work and determination had paid off.

It was super duper hard, but I did my best!First off, the listening part was tricky because there were all these people talking really fast and I had to write down what they were saying. I had to listen to conversations about all kinds of stuff like going to the beach, ordering food at a restaurant, and even talking about music and art. Phew, it was tough!Then there was the reading part where I had to read these long passages about different topics like science, history, and nature. I had to answer questions about what I read and boy, oh boy, that was hard too!Next up was the writing part where I had to write a little essay about a topic they gave me. I had to really think hard and make sure I spelled everything right and used good grammar. I wrote about my favorite hobby, which is playing soccer with my friends.Finally, there was the speaking part where I had to talk to a teacher on the computer about different topics like my family, my school, and what I like to do in my free time. It was kinda nerve-wracking, but I did my best to speak clearly and answer all the questions.So yeah, that was my experience with the Cambridge IELTS 11 Test 1. It was super hard, but I think I did my best. I hope I did well on the test! Fingers crossed!。
