READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.TELEPATHYCan human beings communicate by thought a/one? For more than a century the issue of telepathy has divided the scientific community, and even today it still sparks bitter controversy among top academics Since the 1970s, parapsychologists at leading universities and research institutes around the world have risked the derision of sceptical colleagues by putting the various claims for telepathy to the test in dozens of rigorous scientific studies. The results and their implications are dividing even the researchers who uncovered them.Some researchers say the results constitute compelling evidence that telepathy is genuine. Other parapsychologists believe the field is on the brink of collapse, having tried to produce definitive scientific proof and failed. Sceptics and advocates alike do concur on one issue, however: that the most impressive evidence so far has come from the so-called 'ganzfeld' experiments, a German term that means 'whole field'. Reports of telepathic experiences had by people during meditation led parapsychologists to suspect that telepathy might involve 'signals' passing between people that were so faint that they were usually swamped by normal brain activity. In this case, such signals might be more easily detected by those experiencing meditation-like tranquillity in a relaxing 'whole field' of light, sound and warmth.The ganzfeld experiment tries to recreate these conditions with participants sitting in soft reclining chairs in a sealed room, listening to relaxing sounds while their eyes are covered with special filters letting in only soft pink light. In early ganzfeld experiments, the telepathy test involved identification of a picture chosen from a random selection of four taken from a large image bank. The idea was that a person acting as a 'sender' would attempt to beam the image over to the 'receiver' relaxing in the sealed room. Once the session was over, this person was asked to identify which of the four images had been used. Random guessing would give a hit-rate of 25 per cent; if telepathy is real, however, the hit-rate would be higher. In 1982, the results from the first ganzfeld studies were analysed by one of its pioneers, the American parapsychologist Charles Honorton. They pointed to typical hit-rates of better than 30 per cent - a small effect, but one which statistical tests suggested could not be put down to chance.The implication was that the ganzfeld method had revealed real evidence for telepathy. But there was a crucial flaw in this argument - one routinely overlooked in more conventional areas of science. Just because chance had been ruled out as an explanation did not prove telepathy must exist; there were many other ways of getting positive results. Theseranged from 'sensory leakage' - where clues about the pictures accidentally reach the receiver - to outright fraud. In response, the researchers issued a review of all the ganzfeld studies done up to 1985 to show that 80 per cent had found statistically significant evidence. However, they also agreed that there were still too many problems in the experiments which could lead to positive results, and they drew up a list demanding new standards for future research.After this, many researchers switched to autoganzfeld tests - an automated variant of the technique which used computers to perform many of the key tasks such as the random selection of images. By minimising human involvement, the idea was to minimise the risk of flawed results. In 1987, results from hundreds of autoganzfeld tests were studied by Honorton in a 'meta-analysis', a statistical technique for finding the overall results from a set of studies. Though less compelling than before, the outcome was still impressive.Yet some parapsychologists remain disturbed by the lack of consistency between individual ganzfeld studies. Defenders of telepathy point out that demanding impressive evidence from every study ignores one basic statistical fact: it takes large samples to detect small effects. If, as current results suggest, telepathy produces hit-rates only marginally above the 25 per cent expected by chance, it's unlikely to be detected by a typical ganzfeld study involving around 40 people: the group is just not big enough. Only when many studies are combined in ameta-analysis will the faint signal of telepathy really become apparent. And that is what researchers do seem to be finding.What they are certainly not finding, however, is any change in attitude of mainstream scientists: most still totally reject the very idea of telepathy. The problem stems at least in part from the lack of any plausible mechanism for telepathy.Various theories have been put forward, many focusing on esoteric ideas from theoretical physics. They include 'quantum entanglement', in which events affecting one group of atoms instantly affect another group, no matter how far apart they may be. While physicists have demonstrated entanglement with specially prepared atoms, no-one knows if it also exists between atoms making up human minds. Answering such questions would transform parapsychology. This has prompted some researchers to argue that the future lies not in collecting more evidence for telepathy, but in probing possible mechanisms. Some work has begun already, with researchers trying to identify people who are particularly successful in autoganzfeld trials. Early results show that creative and artistic people do much better than average: in one study at the University of Edinburgh, musicians achieved a hit-rate of 56 per cent. Perhaps more tests like these will eventually give the researchers the evidence they are seeking and strengthen the case for the existence of telepathy.Questions 27-30complete each sentence with the correct ending, A-G, below.Write the correct letter, A-G, in boxes 27-30 on your answer sheet.27 Researchers with differing attitudes towards telepathy agree on28 Reports of experiences during meditation indicated29 Attitudes to parapsychology would alter drastically with30 Recent autoganzfeld trials suggest that success rates will improve withQuestions 31-40Complete the table below.Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 31-40 on your answer sheet.。

剑桥8 Test1 secion3
剑桥8 Test1 secion3T: Right, Sandra. You wanted to see me to get some feedback on your group's proposal. The one you're submitting for the Geography society field trip competition. I've had a look through your proposal and I think it's a really good choice. In fact, I only have a few things to say about it, buteven in an outline document like this you really have to be careful to avoid typos and problems with layout in the proposal, and even in the contents page. so read it through carefully before submitting it, okay?S: Willdo.T: And I've made a few notes on the proposal about things which could havebeen better sequencedQ2I.S: Okay.T: As for the writing itself, I’ve annotated the proposal as and where I thoughtit could be improved. Generally speaking, I feel you've often used complex structures and long sentences for the sake of it and as a consequence . . . although your paragraphing and inclusion of sub-headings help . . . it's quite hard to follow your train of thought at times. So cut them down a bit,can vou?Q22S: Really?T: Yes. And don't forget simple formatting like numbering.S: Didn't I use page numbers?T:I didn't mean that.Look, you’ve remembered to include headers and footers, whichis good, but listing ideas clearly is important.Q23Number them or use bullet points, which is even clearer. Then you'll focus the reader on your main points.I thought your suggestion to go to the Navajo Tribal Park was a very good idea. S: I've always wanted to go there. My father was a great fan of cowboy films and the Wild West so I was subjected to seeing all the epics, many of which were shot there. As a consequence,Q24 it feels very familiar to me and it's awesome both geographically andusually, so it's somewhere I've always wanted to visit.Q24 The subsequent research I did and the online photographs made me even keener.T: Interesting. Right, let’s look at the content of your proposal now.S: Did you find it comprehensive enough?T: Well, yes and no. You've listed several different topics on your contents page, but I'm not sure they're all relevant.S: No? Well, I thought that from the perspective of a field trip, one thing I needed to focus on was the sandstone plateaux and cliffs themselves.Q25-27the way they tower up from the flat landscape is just amazing. The factthat the surrounding softer rocks were eroded by wind and rain, leavingthese huge outcrops high above the plain. It's hardly surprising thattourists flock to see the area.T: Well,yes, I’d agree e with including those points . . .S: And then the fact that it's been home to native American Navajos and all the social history that goes with that.The hardships they endured trying to save their territory from the invading settlers. Their culture is so rich - all those wonderful stories.T: Well, I agree it's interesting, but it's not immediately relevant to your proposal, Sandra,so at this stage, I suggest you focus on other considerations. I think an indication of what the students on the trip could actually do when theyget there should be far more centraI,Q25-27so thatcertainly needs to be included and to be expanded upon. And I'd like to see something about the local wildlife, and vegetation too, Q25-27not that I imagine there’s much to see. Presumably the tourist invasion hasn'thelped.S: Okay,I’II do some work on those two areas as well. But you're right,there's not much apart from some very shallow-rooted species. Although it's cold and snowy there in the winter, the earth is baked so hard in the summer sun that rainwater can't penetrate.so it’s a case of flood ordrought, really.T: So, I understand. Now, before we look at everything in more detail, I’ve got few actual questions for you. It would be a good idea to includethe answers in your finished proposal, because they're missing from your draft.S: Fine.T: so, you mentioned the monoliths and the spires, which was good, butwhat area does the tribal park cover? Do you know?S: I2,000hectares,Q28and the plain is at about 5,850 meters above sea level.T: Larger than I expected. Okay. Where's the nearest accommodation? That's a practical detail that you haven't included. Have you done anyresearch on that? S: Yes. There's nowhere to stay in the park itself, but there's an old trading post called Gouldingquite near. AII kinds of tours start from Goulding,too.T: What kind of tours?S: Well,the most popular are in four-wheel drive jeeps - but I wouldn't recommend hiring those. Ithink the best way to appreciate the area wouldn’t be to hire horsesQ29 instead and trek around on those. Biking is not allowed and it's impossible to drive around the area in private vehicles. Thetracks are too rough. T: Okay,lastly,what else is worth visiting there?S: There are several caves, butI haven’t looked into any details. I'IIfind out about them.T: Okay,good. Now what I'd like to know is . . .。

剑桥雅思8口语解析test3
Part1范文(每个问题两个回答)1.Do you like to have flowers in your home? [Why/Why not?]Yes, I do. I love to have flowers in my home, because flowers are very good decorations at home. Just imagine, when you walk into your own home from one day’s tiring work, how comforting it is to see flowers in every corner of the house. It’s soothing and relaxing.Not at all. Look, I’m allergic to pollen. Flowers and their pollen just irritate my skin and give me runny nose and eyes. So I must avoid flowers at all times I can, not to mention my own home.2. Where would you go to buy flowers? [Why?]There are many places I can choose from. I can go to a small florist on the street if I need the flowers properly wrapped and ribboned. I can also go to a suburban flower market if I want to buy in bulk quantity and save some cash. Besides all these, I can also buy flowers on the Internet. The best thing about buying things on the Internet is that you don’t have to worry about the open time or close time of online shops, which are often run 24/7 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), so that you can place your order anywhere anytime.Well, I would only go to the flower market near my home. Luckily it’s not really far from where I live. It’s within walking distance, say 10 minutes. Plus there’s a large variety of flowers you can choose from. The price is always reasonable and you can still bargain about it. So why bother going to some distant, price gouging florist’s?3. On what occasions would you give someone flowers?Well, I’ve never given others flowers before, but there are many occasions when people give flowers, like birthday, wedding, even funeral. Besides that, boys would also give flowers, especially rose, to their girls when they are in love.I would give flowers to my friends, relatives and many others when I visit their homes. You see, it’s not really polite to visit one person’s home empty-handed according to Chinese tradition. So people often bring along some small gifts when they drop by. Well, in my case, I would choose flowers, which according to my experiences are not at all stereotypic, but rather often quite pleasing to my hosts.4. Are flowers important in your culture? [Why/Why not?]Flowers often bear great importance in many cultures. So do they in Chinese culture. In the past, flowers were believed to have spirits, who can bring happiness and pleasure to the devout. Nowadays, though their superstitious values have already faded away, flowers have taken on new meanings to represent virtues. While orchid represents grace and purity, peony represents nobleness and prosperity, and wintersweet perseverance. And people often use them to express their feelings.Well, generally yes, but with a great deal of difference to different people. Some people may love flowers so much that they see flowers as their life; while there’re also many others who are totally nonchalant. To them, flowers are no more than a bunch of lifeless plants.Part2范文问题:Describe a meeting you remember going to at work, college or school.Wow, this is pretty difficult for me, because I’ve had so many meetings. And my job is virtually about meeting people and deciding whether I should recruit them for my company. Yes, you guessed it. I’m an HR manager. Let me just tell you about the latest meeting or interview I had a couple of days ago. I was recruiting a junior staff for the secretarial department. A fresh college graduate came to the interview. I first looked at his resume and asked him some basic questions, which he seemed to have responded quite well. But when I asked him about his long-term career plan, he fumbled in a shilly-shally manner. So I thought to myself“well, our company may not need a person like this”and I told him“I’m sorry”. Apparently he’s sorry too. Anyway, this maynot be a very memorable meeting, but it is the latest one I had.Part3范文(每个问题两个回答)1.What are the different types of meeting that people often go to?答案1:There are many different types of meetings that are categorized by contents of discussion or attendants or venue, etc. But people go to work meetings most often, where people meet to discuss their work and that often produce a product or intangible result such as a decision.答案2:As far as I know, there are six types of meetings by function: problem- solving, decision- making, planning, feedforward (which is about status reporting or presenting new information), feedback, about reacting and evaluating, and finally combination meetings.2. Some people say that no- one likes to go to meetings — what do you think?答案1: I can’ t agree more. Personally I never liked going to meetings. They are long, and boring, full of red- tapes. I always wonder when people would learn not to waste time. Some meetings I attended are not productive at all, or even counterproductive. I don’ t like meetings.答案2:Please allow me to respectfully disagree. Though many people may not like to attend meetings, they’ re still important in business, work, study and life. First, people need communication and update of information. Second, exchange of ideas can produce creativity and innovation. Apparently, meetings can facilitate both.3. Why can it sometimes be important to go to meetings?答案1: Meetings are important because no one can be a lone ranger in today’ s society. Everyone is linked to each other in some way. And since the discrepancy of information and knowledge amongpeople is inevitable, it necessitates constant updates of information and exchange of ideas, all of which can be perfectly achieved through meetings.答案2: Like I said before, meetings are important in many aspects of our life. People need communication and update of information and exchange of ideas is also necessary to produce creativity and innovation. Meetings can facilitate both of them. That’ s why it’ s important to go to meetings sometimes. 4. Why do you think world leaders often have meetings together?4. Why do you think world leaders often have meetings together?答案1:One of the major purposes for world leaders to meet together is to build mutual trust and strengthen bilateral relationship. Apparently, growing international trade has increasingly entailed more and more international frictions. But a good mutual relationship can help to ease it up.答案2:Nowadays the world has becoming more globalized and countries closer than ever before. As a result, many international affairs can’ t be solved without collaborate efforts, which necessitates meetings at various levels, including that of world leaders.5. What possible difficulties might be involved in organizing meetings between world leaders?答案1:Indeed, it’ s difficult to organize a meeting at an international level especially when it concerns world leaders, who are not like any street boys. They are big shots with busy schedules and need high level of security, all of which have to be carefully considered. Plus a well- prepared agenda also is needed. Of course, no one wants to pay from the public purse for the world leaders to fly in and sit together just to chitchat.答案2:Apart from the difficulties concerning time, security and agenda, language is another problem,since no one can guarantee the world leaders understand all that’ s being discussed without proper translation. Sometimes there may be some mistranslation, which is really bad because this may lead to misunderstanding between world leaders which in turn might bring about conflicts and frictions between different countries.6. Do you think that meetings between international leaders will become more frequent in the future? Or will there be less need for world leaders to meet?答案1:I believe yes. I also believe international cooperation will become more common and meetings between international leaders more frequent, because this can help to establish mutual trust and reduce international conflicts and frictions.答案2: I’ m not sure about this, since I’ m not an expert on international politics. But one thing I’ m sure about is that the world is becoming smaller and country closer, therefore things need to be done to avoid any possible conflicts, be it world meetings or whatever. I just wish to live in a world of peace.。

剑桥雅思8听力原文解析:
1. 本段对话是在导师与学生 Sandra 之间进行,导师对 Sandra 的小组计划给出反馈信息。
导师首先指出 Sandra 应该避免排字排版以及格式错误。
关于写作本身,导师也提出了意见, 总体来说,他觉得 Sandra 经常为使用复杂结构和长句而使用它们。
结果呢,即使文章中有分段、副标题,要跟上 Sandra 的想法还是有点困难(Generally speaking, I feel you’ve often used complex structures and long sentences for the sake of it and as a consequence... although your paragraphing and inclusion of subheadings help... it’s quite hard to follow your train of thought at times)。
generally speaking 意为“总体来说”,相似的表达方式还有frankly speaking, 意为“坦率地说”。
for the sake of意为“为了...... ”,如:for the sake of convenience 意为“为了方便起见”。
as a consequence 意为“因此,结果是”,相当于 as a result。
train of thought 意为“一连串的想法”,train 在此意为“一系列”。
2. Sandra 问导师觉得她的计划是否全面了(Do you find it comprehensive enough?),导师回答说还好(yes and no)。
yes and no 用来表示你无法就某个问题给出一个确切的答案。
后面导师给出了解释,Sandra 的确在内容方面涉及了好几个不同的话题,但是它们并不都是密切相关的。
3. Sandra 有点惊讶,她以为从实地考察的角度出发,只需要考虑砂岩高原和悬崖(I thought from the perspective of a field trip, one thing I needed to focus on was the sandstone plateaux and cliffs themselves)。
from the perspective of 意为“从......的角度来看”,focus on 意为“聚焦”。
4.it’s hardly surprising that tourists flock to see the area(成群的旅游者都去参观这个地区一点都不值得惊讶)。
hardly 意为“几乎不”,表否定意义,表达同一意思的词语还有 rarely。
flock 在此处为动词,意为“成群地去,聚集”,如果说人们 flock to a place 表示“许多人都去那个地方,因为那个地方很有吸引力”。
有一句谚语叫做 Birds of a feather flock to- gether.(物以类聚,人以群分)。
flock 还可作名词,意为“羊群,(飞禽、牲畜等的)群”, a flock of 意为“一群”,如 :A flock of customers waited for the store to open.(一群顾客等着商店开门。
)
5.The hardships they endured trying to save their territory from the invading settlers.(他们经历的苦难使他们保护了自己的领土免受殖民者入侵。
)save...from... 意为“防止;避免”,表达类似意思的短语还有 keep/protect/preserve... from...。
6.Sandra 介绍纳瓦霍族的一些值得参观的风景、特色。
最后导师问“还有什么值得参观的(what else is worth visiting there)”。
be worth (doing) sth. 意为“值得做某事”,相似的短语还有 be worthy to do sth. / be worthy of sth. 另外,it is worthwhile to do sthit is worthwhile do- ing sth. 也表示同样的意思,意为“值得做某事”。
剑桥雅思8听力答案解析:
Question 21 答案 A
听前预测 :定位词为 tutor、Sandra’s proposal,选项关键词分别为 re-order、content page、 more information。
?
题目解析 :由于题干中有 the tutor thinks,所以本题答案应重点关注 tutor 的观点,出题句为 I’ve made a few notes on the proposal about things which could have been better sequenced(我已经在需要重新排序的地方做了一些批注)。
此处 sequence 为“排序”的意思,对应 A 选项里的 re-order。
Question 22 答案 C
听前预测 :定位词为 easer to follow,选项关键词分别subheadings、more paragraphs、shorten sentences。
?
题目解析 :出题句为 ...it’s quite hard to follow your train of thought at times. So cut them down a bit, can you?(有时很难跟上你的思路,最好能缩减一些,行么?)hard 对应题干的 easier, cut down 对应选项 C 里的 shorten。
Question 23 答案 A
听前预测 :定位词为 problem、formatting, 选项关键词分别为 points...not identified, heading...not clear,page numbering...not...appropriate way。
?
题目解析:根据题干中的定位词formatting,本题不难定位,出题句为you’ve remembered to include headers and footers, which is good, but listing ideas clearly is important.(有页眉页脚非常好,但清晰地把观点罗列出来更重要。
)headers and footers 为“页眉页脚”的意思,而 but 之后往往才是表达的重点。
Question 24 答案 B
听前预测 :定位词为 Navajo National Park,选项关键词分别为 articles、movies、photographs。
题目解析 :本题不难定位,出题句为 My father was a great fan of cowboy films and the Wild West so I was subjected to seeing all the epics...(我父亲是牛仔电影的超级粉丝,我深受其影响, 因此也看了很多这类的经典电影)。
be subjected to 意为“受到影响”,epics 指“史诗般的作品”, 原文中的 films 对应 B 选项中的 movies。
