备考tips:
分享一道本季度难点题目:
Describe a popular person
You should say:
Who this person is
What kind of person he or she is
When you see him/ her normally
And explain why you this person is popular
这道题目一开始拿到,很多同学如果不仔细阅读下面的小问题,可能会想当然的认为,这个题目可以和“famous person”串联在一起,一个受欢迎的人,那不就是我们喜欢的明星名人嘛。但其实,我们仔细体会一下题干,popular就证明是famous的人吗,并且我们需要注意它的第三小问,“When you see him/ her normally ”,那既然是需要见到过的人,好我们还是选取身边的朋友、老师、同学、亲人等等最为素材。
这一题可以和 Describe someone you know who often helps others乐于帮助别人的人,串联起来,或者Describe a person who always has interesting ideas or opinions想法有趣的人。或者我们也可以从别的角度来思考这个人物受欢迎的原因,和“People”相关的维度包括:hobby/ occupation/ personality/ appearance/ how you know (about)/ age/ life experience/ relationship/ where from (home address/ nationality/ hometown)/ education background/ family background/ social status/ marital status/ social network/ zodiac sign/ wealth/ sexuality/ habit/ language/ health/ popularity/ achievement/ name/ gender/ contact/ outlook etc.比如说有些人受欢迎的原因是性格上的,outgoing,confident,charismatic,generous,kind等等;有些人受欢迎是因为外貌appearance;有些人可能是因为多才多艺,有一技之长受欢迎。
小作文:柱状图
2009年10月-2019年10月澳大利亚6个城市的水库水位线变化(water level reservoir)
继上次考完地图题后,今天的雅思考试又回归了常规的数据类图表。整体难度不大。大家按照常规的动态图的答题思路去完成即可。按照趋势去分段,增长一段,下降一点,维持稳定的可以摆在一段。要注意不要只说趋势,不说具体的数据,数据需要来支撑给出的特征,并且要注意时态,用过去时态去书写。
大作文:
Some people think that printed books are no longer needed in the digital era, because all writing can be stored electronically. Others think printed books will still play an important role. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
一些人认为在数字时代,纸质书籍不再被需要了因为所有的文字都可以被电子储存。然而,其他人认为纸质书籍仍旧会扮演着比较重要的作用。讨论双边并且给出自己的看法。
今天考察的是双边讨论的题目,对于双边讨论的题型,大家在主体段需要先分别论述甲乙双方的立场并且在最后可以以自己的观点作为结尾。在思考双方观点的时候,可以代入经历去写。甲方可能是生活在一些发达地区的人,电子设备对于他们来说是司空见惯的事物,他们发现在平板和电脑上,可以获得各种各样的他们需要的信息,因此觉得纸质书籍没有必要了。对于乙方来说,他们仍旧看到了纸质书籍的必要性。他们可能是生活在一些网络不发达的地区或者是一些贫困地区的人,对于他们来说获取电子设备来获取信息并不是一件容易的事情,因此仍旧觉得纸质书籍是非常必要的。最后给出自己的想法即可。
今天雅思阅读部分的passage3极其抽象,直接陷入疯狂。最近的几场雅思阅读都出现了passage3极难的情况,甚至难度秒杀剑桥真题,所以想要拿高分的同学需要在p3上多下功夫了。
Passage1 Nazca Lines纳斯卡线条/秘鲁怪图
曾出现于:2015.08.13/2018.02.24/2020.07.18
类别:历史
难度:★
题型配比:7判断+6填空
参考答案:
1-7为判断
1.TRUE

参考文章(非原文):
Nasca Lines
The lines are drawn in geometric patterns and distinct animal shapes.
As a plane soars over the high desert of southern Peru, the dull pale sameness of the rocks and sand organize and change form. Distinct white lines gradually evolve from tan and rust-red. Strips of white crisscross a desert so dry that it rains less than an inch every year. The landscape changes as lines take shape to form simple geometric designs: trapezoids, straight lines, rectangles, triangles, and swirls. Some of the swirls and zigzags start to form more distinct shapes: a hummingbird, a spider, a monkey.
These are the renowned Nasca lines—subject of mystery for over 80 years. How were they formed? What purpose could they have served? Were aliens involved?
The lines are found in a region of Peru just over 200 miles southeast of Lima, near the modern town of Nasca. In total, there are over 800 straight lines, 300 geometric figures and 70 animal and plant designs, also called biomorphs. Some of the straight lines run up to 30 miles, while the biomorphs range from 50 to 1200 feet in length (as large as the Empire State Building).
THE LINES REVEALED
Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe was the first to systematically study the lines in 1926. However, since the lines are virtually impossible to identify from ground level, they were only first brought to public awareness with the advent of flight—by pilots flying commercial planes over Peru in the 1930s. American professor Paul Kosok investigated and found himself at the foot of a line on June 22, 1941—just one day after the winter solstice. At the end of a full day studying the lines, Kosok looked up from his work to catch the sunset in direct alignment with the line. Kosok called the 310 square mile stretch of high desert “the largest astronomy book in the world”.
Kosok was followed by the German Maria Reiche, who became known as the Lady of the Lines. Reiche studied the lines for 40 years and fought unyieldingly for her theories on the lines’ astronomical and calendrical purpose (she received a National Geographic grant in 1974 for her work). Reiche battled single-handedly to protect the site; she even lived in a small house near the desert so she could personally protect the lines from reckless visitors.
WHAT ARE THE LINES?
The lines are known as geoglyphs – drawings on the ground made by removing rocks and earth to create a “negative” image. The rocks which cover the desert have oxidized and weathered to a deep rust color, and when the top 12-15 inches of rock is removed, a light-colored, high contrasting sand is exposed. Because there’s so little rain, wind and erosion, the exposed designs have stayed largely intact for 500 to 2000 years.
Scientists believe that the majority of lines were made by the Nasca people, who flourished from around A.D. 1 to 700.
Certain areas of the pampa look like a well-used chalk board, with lines overlapping other lines, and designs cut through with straight lines of both ancient and more modern origin.
THE THEORIES
The Kosok-Reiche astronomy theories held true until the 1970s when a group of American researchers arrived in Peru to study the glyphs. This new wave of research started to poke holes in the archeo-astronomy view of the lines (not to mention the radical theories in the ‘60s relating to aliens and ancient astronauts).
Johan Reinhard, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, brought a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis of the lines: “Look at the large ecological system, what’s around Nasca, where were the Nasca people located.” In a region that receives only about 20 minutes of rain per year, water was clearly an important factor.
"It seems likely that most of the lines did not point at anything on the geographical or celestial horizon, but rather led to places where rituals were performed to obtain water and fertility of crops," wrote Reinhard in his book The Nasca Lines: A New Perspective on their Origin and Meanings.
Anthony Aveni, a former National Geographic grantee, agrees, "Our discoveries clearly showed that the straight lines and trapezoids are related to water … but not used to find water, but rather used in connection with rituals."
"The trapezoids are big wide spaces where people can come in and out," says Aveni. "The rituals were likely involved with the ancient need to propitiate or pay a debt to the gods…probably to plead for water."
Reinhard points out that spiral designs and themes have also been found at other ancient Peruvian sites. Animal symbolism is common throughout the Andes and are found in the biomorphs drawn upon the Nasca plain: spiders are believed to be a sign of rain, hummingbirds are associated with fertility, and monkeys are found in the Amazon—an area with an abundance of water.
"No single evaluation proves a theory about the lines, but the combination of archeology, ethnohistory, and anthropology builds a solid case," says Reinhard. Add new technological research to the mix, and there’s no doubt that the world’s understanding of the Nasca lines will continue to evolve.
Passage 2: 未来科技投资趋势
曾出现于:新
类别: 科技
难度:★★
题型配比:List of headings7+填空4+多选2
分析:据目前回忆来看,p2应为新题,主要介绍了对于科技的一些发明投资。List of headings是今年特别活跃的一个题型,与去年相比考频和题型占比都有极大的提高。今年比较少见的多选也出现在了p2,但其实heading和多选的组合在剑桥真题中还是较为常见的,比如剑16T1P2Step Pyramid of Djoser一文的题型组合与今天的p2如出一辙。
Passage 3:Speech Act and Philosophy言行与哲学
曾出现于:2016.08.27/2017.09.16/2021.06.05
类别:哲学
难度:★★★
题型配比:单选6+句首配句尾3+判断5
参考答案:
27-32为单选
27.C 28.B 29.B 30.A 31.D 32.D
33-35为单选
33.F 34.A 35.D
36-40为判断
36.YES
37.NG
38.NO
39.NO
40.YES
分析:本文主旨讲解了语言行为和哲学的关系,还涉及到了语言的应用、语法、句子判断和表达等。之前的考情分析中提到过passage3中出现句首配句尾的几率是比较高的,且难度也是很大的,再加上选择题考了顶格的6题,文章也比较抽象,导致很多考生第三篇做得晕头转向。
