【口語】一、考試整體概述：
以下為8月份本場高頻題，請考生扎實(shí)準(zhǔn)備
1. Describe a city or country that you would like to live or work
2. Describe an important river or lake in your country
3. Describe a leisure facility you would like to have in your hometown
4. Describe a thing you own that you want to replace
5. Describe a talkative person you know
二、本場難題及解析
Describe a talkative person you know
You should say:
Who he or she is
How you got to know him or her
What he or she likes to talk about
And explain how do you like him or her
Actually this topic reminds me of a boy named Jason. I knew Jason from an international exchange program in Chicago University last year. It was my first time got to know him but soon we became good friends. He is a charming boy who is also pretty stout. But what makes him a real popular program in our class is his perfect personality, you know, quite outgoing and approachable. Actually, what I can learn from him is his inter-personal communicative skills. Or, in other words, being talkative. That’s our first time to participate in an English program with so many classmates with many countries. For the first week, I felt hard to get along with my teammates, as I was reluctant to speak to others. But it seemed like Jason was having a great time with his teammates. And I notice that, Jason was glad to talk and share his ideas with others, though he was not always fluent. I wouldn’t say he talked too much, I guess he just made good use all possible opportunities to practice and interact with others which was actually beneficial. At the end of that exchange program, I turned to another person and I guess I should be thankful to Jason because he was the person who really inspired me.
In recent years, the river has suffered from industrial pollution, agricultural run-off, siltation and loss of wetland and lakes, which exacerbates seasonal flooding. Some sections of the river are now protected as Nature reserves.
I knew Chang jiang from my textbook when I was a primary school student. I was amazed by its length and scenery. There are some many poems and article to praise it. It’s the cradle of Chinese culture. No wonder it’s call the “mother of China”.
一、考試概述：
今天考試的題目都比較新穎，判斷和填空仍然是考試重點(diǎn)，不過從題型數(shù)量設(shè)置也能明顯的看出來配對題的比例仍在穩(wěn)步增加。所以平時練習(xí)時考生們不僅需要多練習(xí)判斷填空，也要增加配對題的訓(xùn)練。

Tastebuds
Tastebuds (or Papillae) were first described by Italian Physiologist Marcello Malpighi in the late 1600's. Malpighi is considered to be the founder of the fields of histology and anatomic microscopy, as he was one of the first people to carefully examine the tissues of plants and animals using a microscope. In addition to first describing papillae, Malpighi was the first person to see red blood cells, and he was the first person to actually see the small blood vessels connecting arteries and veins, verifying the theory of blood circulation proposed by William Harvey. Malpighi named these vessels capillaries. Any time you come across something described as Malpighian (for example the Malpighian Tubules of insects, or Malpighian Tufts in the kidney), it was first described by Marcello Malpighi.
The average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they're replaced every 2 weeks or so. But as a person ages, some of those taste cells don't get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That's why certain foods may taste stronger to you than they do to adults. Smoking also can reduce the number of taste buds a person has.
But before you give taste buds all the credit for your favorite flavors, it's important to thank your nose. Olfactory (say: ahl-FAK-tuh-ree) receptors inside the uppermost part of the nose contain special cells that help you smell. They send messages to the brain.
Here's how it works: While you're chewing, the food releases chemicals that immediately travel up into your nose. These chemicals trigger the olfactory receptors inside the nose. They work together with your taste buds to create the true flavor of that yummy slice of pizza by telling the brain all about it!
When you have a cold or allergies, and your nose is stuffy, you might notice that your food doesn't seem to have much flavor. That's because the upper part of your nose isn't clear to receive the chemicals that trigger the olfactory receptors (that inform the brain and create the sensation of flavor).
Try holding your nose the next time you eat something. You'll notice that your taste buds are able to tell your brain something about what you're eating — that it's sweet, for instance — but you won't be able to pick the exact flavor until you let go of your nose.
So the next time you chomp on an apple or slurp up some soup, thank your tongue — and your nose! Without them, life wouldn't have any flavor.

The line graph illustrates the production of four kinds of main fuels in United Kingdom in a period of 14 years from 1986 to 2000.
Overall, despite an obvious fluctuation, petroleum accounted for the largest amount of fuel production throughout this period. In terms of coal, it experienced a generally downward trend while natural gas increased dramatically especially after 1994.
Generally speaking, the production of petroleum and coal showed an opposite trend. To be specific, that of petroleum grew from 120 in 1986 to 140 in 1990, before declining to 120 in 1995, after which it climbed back to 140 in 2000. On the other hand, as for the production of coal, there was a moderate drop from 110 in 1986 to 80 in 1991, after which the production rose to 100 in 1995 and then went down to approximately 60 in 2000.
The production of natural gas was quite stable before 1994, levelling out at just under 60. However, after that year, it increased significantly and almost doubled to 120 in 2000.

考試題目：
Some people say modern children’s games do not develop a wide range of skills, while traditional games can be much better for developing such skills.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
(Word count： 288)
The development of online children’s games today is beyond our wildest expectation. However, some people argue that modern games are not good for cultivating a variety of useful skills and that traditional games perform much better in this. Personally, I am of the same opinion.
It is true that spending much time on video or mobile games enhances some skills. When children play video games in groups, they often take turns leading and following, depending on who has specific skills needed in that game. A study shows that teens who had played group games online felt they had gained leadership skills such as persuading and motivating others. Online multi-player games offer teens a rare chance to participate in, and sometimes lead, a diverse, mixed-age team. However, this tends to be a rare case, as the online teams are, often times, informal and young players never think about how to truly work as a team during the game.
Traditional games can, on the other hand, greatly assist in the development of important skills. It is believed that many board and card games promote skills such as problem-solving. For example, those young people who try their hand on Monopoly usually analyse their current status and make full use of resources at hand, even when they face a bankrupt in the game. Such skill is learnt and is highly likely to be applied in their future job. Other card games encourage the young to think twice before making a decision, which develops their thinking skill.
In conclusion, many practical skills go hand-in-hand with traditional games. Therefore, parents and teachers should ensure that their children or students learn to enjoy various traditional games, rather than just collapsing in front of a screen.
