9月5日考情回顾
9.5结束,从群中同学讨论的情况来看,本次的听力收了大部分同学的膝盖,不知道更多其他的同学如何看待? 本次机经整体命中比较惨淡,但词汇题预测貌似命中了一半的词汇。虽然命中不多,但如果你是个聪明的同学,就会知道命中机经只能算彩头,真正的价值是从大量的真题训练中获得的。给出今天的考情回顾,并在文末设置了考试难度投票,看看多少人和你感受相同 :) 。 口语1.In what age learning second language is better问哪个年纪更适合学习第二外语。可根据个人喜好回答,如:I prefer to acquire a second language at an earlier age like 5 years old, which in my opinion is a best time to learn anything new.同时需要给出理由支持观点, 比如年龄小潜力更大,越早接触一门新的语言就会有更多时间练习运用从而语言也就学的更好。2.Friends should be able to be disagree with each other and still being friends问是否同意这样的观点:朋友就应该既能互相持不同观点但彼此仍然保持友情。可回答同意或者不同意,并给出适当理由。如:I can’t agree more that the real friends could be able to disagree with each other as well as being friends after the controversial discussion. Taking my best friend and I as an example, we sometimes have different opinions on the same topic…随后需举例说明即使有时观点相反不同,但仍求同存异彼此关心才是朋友。3.Prohibited bicycles on campus due to traffic on pedestrian walks & little accidents (collision between people & bikes)Uni provides free shuttle bus Woman:disagree① little accidents occur mostly at night because of low visibility.

Cardinals(bird) with unique calling sound are being aggressive to unfamiliar/being less aggressive to familiar sound from nearby territory讲述一种现象叫 Dear Enemy Effect,有些动物会对同种族保持警惕具有攻击性,但对于邻近的种族,攻击性却会减弱。举例:以 Cardinals 这种鸟为例,它们会对不熟悉的同类的声音具有攻击性,而对附近熟悉的声音倒没有那么强的攻击性。模版:The reading passage gives a term named…, which means…The professor in the listening material gives an expriment to demonstrate it in detail….
