雅思听力
4月6日的考试听力部分,总体难度一般。题型方面比较常规,P1P4均出现最常见的笔记式填空题。 P2考察了多选和匹配题,没有出现地图题。P3考察了单选和多选题。P1P4填空题方面,答案词难度一般,不过考生普遍反映语速较快,需要考生对答案词的拼写非常熟悉。P2多选题选项理解难度一般,但要求考生具备一定的同义替换思维灵活度。P3仍旧是听力考试最难的部分,一方面语速非常快,另一方面干扰性较强,多次出现人物限定干扰和选项信息不匹配干扰。
题型:填空
1. 中介介绍学生去France做保姆
2. 用工家庭爸爸的职业:director
3. Family name: Kellar
4. 应聘者需要会Driving
5. 开车需要大约2.5Km
6. Have a full day off on Sunday
7. Local popular sport is sailing
8. 小镇拥有自己的club
9. 居住时间:6 months
10. further detail: insurance
P1点评:部分为新题。本场考试个人信息填空考点占了五道题,所以整体来看不算难。首字母大写类考点出现了两道,存在口音的考察,导致很多选手吐槽不确定拼写。时间和数字考点当中,干扰信息的识别也是让很多学生头疼的部分。另外,sailing的单词也是很多考生容易拼错的。
11-16多选
11-12. Which TWO things does the speaker say about Bruce County?
B. It has a range of landscapes
D. It is a good region for hiking

18. Lakeside Sundays: F. see a boat race
19. Salmon Spectacular: A. enter a competition
20. November Festival: C. see coloured light displays
Part 2点评:第二部分为旧题,背景小镇介绍,是P2比较常规的场景。题型方面比较少见,没有出现单选题,而是考察了多选+匹配,总体难度一般,主要要求学生的同义替换能力,不仅包括同义词,也涉及到对思维替换的考察,如a range of可以替换同近义词a variety of,也可以具体举例。
21-26单选
21. John and Cath's presentation plans are different in
A. the examples used
22. What do the students agree about the anatomy section of their presentation?

C. rest
29-30. Which TWO sports the male sprinter found more effective during his rehabilitation?
B. weight training
D. cycling
Part 3点评:第三部分为旧题,背景为课堂演讲,属于P3常见的学术讨论场景,难度较大,考生普遍反应语速较快。题型为Part3比较常见的单选和多选题,没有出现匹配,主要考察学生的排除干扰能力,干扰项的设置包括不符合限定词和选项细节不匹配。21-26为单选题,出现人物限定,如21-23题干出现different和agree。如27-30题同样考察限定词,考生在替换选项的同时,还要结合题干的useful和effective判断正确选项。
参考《新航道雅思听力速递机经p1&p4》P110
题型:填空
Part 4点评:第四部分为旧题,题型方面是P4最为常见的笔记填空题,背景为社会类,由知名导演介绍电影相关知识。难度从题干内容角度来看相对简单,就只有myth稍难,有很多考生吐槽不认识。难点主要在于对学生的预判信息能力的考察,而答案词都比较简单。因此如果听前读题环节平时有练习到位,本次p4压力会小很多。

雅思阅读
总览: 第二季度的场考试,考生们的心可能就和倒春寒的温度一样寒冷。连清明假期都在复习迎考的考生遇到这样一套卷子也着实是不容易。不过话说回来,题型配比还是常见套路没玩花活,前两篇如果能够发挥稳定还是很有指望拿到满意的分数的。另外,季度的考情总结同学们记得看啊,知己知彼百战不殆。
Passage 1 The history of pencil 铅笔的历史

分析:本周的篇文章命中《9分达人4》T6P2的同类话题(也只能算同类话题了,毕竟文章和题型都有改动)。虽然被分成了三种题型,不过结构清晰,定位舒适,难度提升有限。另外在季度的考情总结中可是重点和大家提过“习惯1+2”和“准备少见题型(例如流程图)”这两个点,希望接下来要参加考试的同学还是要把季度考情总结再阅读再琢磨一下。
Passage 2 Urban Regeneration: an award-winning redevelopment project in Berlin 柏林城市公园
考频: 2024.4.6新题
类别:建筑
难度:★★
题型配比:List of Headings 6+多选2+多选2+句子填空3
参考答案:
List of Headings
14 iv 一个铁路系统的遗留(remains)
15 viii 一个地区被忽略的原因(reasons)

句子填空
24. 新公园的中间是一个meadow……
25. 一个小火车日常营运连通车站和一个museum
26. 很多运动和休闲设施布局在公园的edges
分析:虽然是篇新题但是不管是“Heading+多选”的配比也好还是“建筑”的文章大类也好,考生们应该都已经做麻了。整体来说难度不大,Heading中没什么生词,意思的对应指向ye很明显。也就是最后的填空题需要用一般定位词来进行位置确定,别的小题都不太会引起很大的麻烦。

分析:本场阅读考试所有的不幸,基本上都集中在这篇了。内容晦涩,题型搭配困难,时间也不够。基本上也就断断续续扫到Pat Shipman…animal connection…impacting brain size and social interactions…contributing to the development of language…the domestication process…时间也就差不多到了(苦笑

雅思写作
表格题+静态图,五个不同国家中女性职员及管理者的比例
这个题目大家可以把数据大致分为两类来写。Body1可以将Egypt, Sri Lanka和Japan分在一块,因为这三个国家的共性都是女性职员的比例都远超过管理者的比例。
Body2可以将Australia和US分到一起,因为这两个国家女性职员的比例和管理者的比例相差并不大。Overview大家可以强调国与国之间女性职员和管理者分布比例结构不同。
Some people say that advertising has positive economic effects. Others think it has negative social effects because it will make people feel dissatisfied with who they are and what they have. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
有些人认为广告能够带来积极的经济影响,然而另一些人则认为广告有负面的社会影响,因为它会使人们对自身和他们所拥有的感到不满足。讨论双边的观点并给出自己的个人观点。
大作文是一道双边讨论类的题,这类文章需要大家对于正反两方的观点都要进行论证,并且最后还需要给出自己的观点。
讨论正方观点大家可以从以下的方面切入:广告可以促进消费。因为广告可以提高产品的知名度、突出产品的优点或者刺激消费者的消费欲望,从而引导消费者消费,促进产品销量,进一步刺激经济增长。
广告会让大家对自身不满是因为广告里总是会邀请各种明星偶像来为产品站台,当消费者看到自身的形象与高颜值的明星偶像相差甚远之后,就会对自己产生不满。
而广告会让大家对自己所拥有的感觉到不满一方面是因为广告总会营造出一种好的产品可以彰显社会地位,并且提高生活品质。所以当消费者发现自己没有广告里那些华丽、昂贵的产品时,就会产生焦虑,对自己现有的生活产生不满。另一方面是因为广告喜欢夸大产品的优点,让消费者觉得新产品的功能和特性是他们原本拥有的产品所没有的,从而让消费者对自己所拥有的感到不满足。

备考建议:
下面讲解一下目前本季度最高频的一道P2 题目怎么说,事件类 11 题:使用地图的经历
Describe an occasion when you used a map (e.g. a paper map, an electronic map) that was useful
You should say:
When and where you used the map
What it was like
How useful it was
Why you used it
And explain how you felt about the experience
很多同学可能看到这道题没有什么思路,想不到什么使用地图的经历。但其实我们平常去一些旅游景点,比如公园,游乐园,动物园都会用到地图。有了素材之后,整道题我们可以按照事件类话题的基本结构来进行构建when / where / who / what / how you felt about it,然后when / where / who这三个基本要素进行相应的拓展。按照题目的要求,What it was like描述地图的样子会是一个难点。另外,整个使用地图的经历,做了什么事情也是比较麻烦的内容,会涉及到游乐园里面相关的话题词汇和表达。
关于What it was like,给大家一个参考,这边是讲去迪士尼乐园用的官方的app里面的地图,因为是电子的软件,可能会涉及到相关的话题词汇,比如一些功能的表达,按钮怎么说,以及外形的描述。
Before we went to the park, I whipped out拿出 my phone, downloaded the Disneyland app, and checked out the map section. All I had to do was to press the button in the middle and the map was awesome:It showed me all the attractions including those rides游乐设施, restaurants and toilets in the park. I could zoom in and out放大缩小, filter attractions筛选景点, and see real-time实时的 wait time for the rides. It was like having the whole park right in my pocket.
而在经历描述部分,其实可以按照大家逛乐园做的事情进行分类,比如找好玩的游乐设施,找餐厅等作为几个关键事件点,然后分别进行拓展:
Then I used the map to help me plan my day. I checked where all the fun stuff was, like the rides, food spots, and restrooms. And I first went to those attractions that I didn’t need to wait for a long time for. At noon, I also looked for a nearest restaurant on it so that I didn’t have to walk too long.
