一、考試概述：
以下為6月份本場考試話題，請考生們扎實準備。
1. Describe a trip by public transport
2. Describe a time that you were shopping in a street market
3. Describe something you do to keep you concentrated
4. Describe a favorite song of yours
5. Describe a popular comic actor in your country
二、具體題目分析：
Describe a trip by public transport
You should say:
Where you were going
What kind of public transport it was
What you did during the trip
And explain how you felt during this trip
When I was young, probably prior to primary school, I went back to my
grandma’s home with my parents by boat, a motorboat. I went there because it’s a
tradition to celebrate a family reunion during festivals, and we live in
zhoushan, whereas my grandma lives in an inner land city.
It took approximately 3 days, because shipping would be one of the least
efficient means of transportation in the contemporary world. Even driving is
faster than shipping I suppose.
I remember this trip because that was the first time I travelled by boat,
and prior to that, I heard someone is seasick on the boat,so I was slightly
worried. But after boarding, everything was fine; there was no feeling of vomit.
So such an expectation gap kind of strengthened my impression of this trip.
Another reason is the food on the boat, which was completely a nightmare to
me, because usually the cuisine served in south-western china is hot and spicy.
But I was grown up in the southwest, so I cannot eat any spicy food at all, I
have to drink so greedily to alleviate such a pain that sometimes I was full
because of water rather than the meal.
Besides, the commodity, snacks on the boat is also quite limited. It seemed
that the only snack available was instant noodles. And even those noodles were a
spicy flavour. So during those days, I hardly had anything but noodles with
boiled water.

參考文章：
Amateur Naturalists
You should spend about 20 minutes on Question 14-26 which are based on
Reading Passage below.
A
Tim Sparks slides a small leather-bound notebook out of an envelope. The
books yellowing pages contain beekeeping notes made between 1941 and 1969 by the
late Walter Coates of Kilworth, Leicestershire. He adds it to his growing pile
of local journals, birdwatchers' lists and gardening diaries, "We're uncovering
about one major new record each month,” he says, “I still get surprised." Around
two centuries before Coates, Robert Marsham, a landowner from Norfolk in the
east of England, began recording the life cycles of plants and animals on his
estate when the first wood anemones flowered, the dates on which the oaks burst
into leaf and the rooks began nesting. Successive Marshams continued compiling
these notes for 211 years.
B
Today, such records are being put to uses that their authors could not
possibly have expected. These data sets, and others like them, ire proving
invaluable to ecologists interested in the timing of biological events, or
phenology. By combining the records with climate data, researchers can reveal
how, for example, changes in temperature affect the arrived of spring, allowing
ecologists to make improved predictions about the impact of climate change. A
small band of researchers is combing through hundreds of years of records taken
by thousands of amateur naturalists. And more systematic projects have also
started up, producing on overwhelming response. "The amount of interest is
almost frightening," says Sparks, a climate researcher at the Centre for Ecology
and Hydrology in Monks Wood, Cambridgeshire.
C
Sparks became aware of the army of "closet phenologists", as he describes
them, when a retiring colleague gave him the Marsham records. He now spends much
of his time following leads from one historical data set to another. As news of
his quest spreads, people tip him off to other historical records, and more
amateur phenologists come out of their closets. The British devotion to
recording and collecting makes his job easier - one man from: Kent sent him 30
years' worth of kitchen calendar, on which he had noted the date that his
neighbour's magnolia tree flowered.
D
Other researchers have unearthed data from equally odd sources. Rafe
Sargarin recently studied records of a betting contest in which participants
attempt to guess the exact time at which a specially erected wooden tripod will
fall through the surface of a thawing river. The competition has taken place
annually on the Tenana River in Alaska since 1917, and analysis of the results
showed that the thaw now arrives five days earlier than it did when the contest
began.
E
Overall, Such records have helped to show that, compared with 20 years ago,
a raft of natural events now occur earlier across much of the northern
hemisphere, from the opening of leaves to the return of birds from migration and
the emergence of butterflies from hibernation . The data can also hint at how
nature will change in the future. Together with models of climate change,
amateurs' records could help guide conservation. Terry Root, an ecologist at the
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, has collected birdwatchers' counts of
wildfowl taken between 1955 and 19% on seasonal ponds in the American. Midwest
and combined them with climate data and models of future warming. Her analysis
shows that the increased droughts that the models predict could halve the
breeding populations at the ponds. "The number of waterfowl in North America
will most probably drop significantly with global warming," she says.
F
But not all professionals are happy to use amateur data. "A lot of
scientists won't touch them, they say they're too full of problems," says Root.
Because different observers can have different ideas of what constitutes, for
example, an open snowdrop. The biggest concern with ad hoc observations is how
carefully and systematically they were taken," says Mark Schwartz of the
University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, who studies the interactions between plants
and climate. "We need to know pretty precisely what a person's been observing -
if they just say 'I noted when the leaves came out', it might not be that
useful." Measuring the onset of autumn can be particularly problematic because
deciding when leaves change color is a more subjective process than noting when
they appear.
G
Overall, most phenologists are positive about the contribution that
amateurs can make. "They get at the raw power of science: careful observation of
the natural world," says Sagarin. But the professionals also acknowledge the
need for careful quality control. Root, for example, tries to gauge the quality
of an amateur archive by interviewing its collector. "You always have to worry
things as trivial as vacations can affect measurement. I disregard a lot of
records because they're not rigorous enough," she says. Others suggest that the
right statistics can iron out some of the problems with amateur data. Together
with colleagues at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, environmental
scientist Arnold van Vliet is developing statistical techniques to account for
the uncertainty in amateur phenological data. With the enthusiasm of amateur
phenologists evident from past records, professional researchers are now trying
to create standardized recording schemes for future efforts. They hope that
well-designed studies will generate a volume of observations: large enough to
drown out the idiosyncrasies of individual recorders. The data are cheap to
collect, and can provide breadth in space, time and range of species. "It's very
difficult to collect data on a large geographical scale without enlisting an
army of observers," says Root.
H
Phenology also helps to drive home messages about climate change. "Because
the public understand these records, they accept them," says Sparks. It can also
illustrate potentially unpleasant consequences, he adds, such as the finding
that more rat infestations are reported to local councils in warmer years. And
getting people involved is great for public relations. "People are thrilled to
think that the data they've been collecting as a hobby can be used for something
scientific -it empowers them," says Root.

TASK 1
Word count：189
The two maps illustrate the current school layout and its projected
change.
At present, there is a car park in the northeast side of the campus, and at
the west side is a land covered with trees. The cluster of many other tress can
also be seen at the southwest corner of the schoolyard. At the very south side
of the car park, there are three buildings, among which one is for biology and
another is for genetics.
In the upcoming future, the campus is projected to experience tremendous
change. The original car park would be converted to student car park. In the
meantime, the original genetic building is planned to expand with a brand-new
biology building to its south. The vast forest is predicted to be cut off to
make room for the other genetics building and a new chemistry building. What is
more, the rectangular building, sited in the middle of the school, would be
changed into a L-shaped one close to which there would be a triangle-shaped car
park.
Overall, more buildings are planned to constructed in the future at the
cost of clearing the vegetation.
TASK 2
題目類別：生活方式類
提問方式：混合點
考試題目：
More and more people want to buy famous brands of clothes, car and other
items. What are the reasons? Do you think it is a positive or negative
development?
(Word count： 334)
It is commonly believed that there is a trend in owning a famous brand
names with clothes, cars and other items. It is understandable that people tend
to purchase top ranked labels due to the high quality of products that are
provided to consumers. From my perspective, I do not agree with the idea of
owning expensive items even though it may be warranted.
On the one hand, there are many reasons can be given to explain the rapid
increasing in the number of clients using luxury products. People usually
purchase high ranked products because these items often have the luxurious and
come along with the unique appearances. Such products normally will offer the
customers who wear it the strong confidence towards other people and also bring
them the chances to show off their prosperity and social status. High quality
products, such as Rolex Watch, often being crafted by professional craftsmen,
which will give the owner of the products enjoy using it for many years.
On the other hand, there are some drawbacks on our families and also the
society when following this trend. Besides from the high quality the products
given, some people purchase these brand items are not because they need it but
because it is trendy. For instant, lots of young middle-class people in Viet Nam
spend a great deal of money into latest smartphone like the iPhone 6 plus
currently, even though their old phone still functioning perfectly. This may
cause some risks in the security of financial in the future. Moreover, this
trend is usually happening in developed countries to symbolize the high classes
people, however, we Vietnamese are not aware of our currently financial status,
resulting in the fact that people’s belongings are considered a more important
factor than who they really are.
In conclusion, the growing consumption of brand name products might be
explained with their luxurious appearance, excellent quality and so on, however,
I believe this trending is a disadvantage to all our families and society.

illustrate potentially unpleasant consequences, he adds, such as the finding
that more rat infestations are reported to local councils in warmer years. And
getting people involved is great for public relations. "People are thrilled to
think that the data they've been collecting as a hobby can be used for something
scientific -it empowers them," says Root.

TASK 1
Word count：189
The two maps illustrate the current school layout and its projected
change.
At present, there is a car park in the northeast side of the campus, and at
the west side is a land covered with trees. The cluster of many other tress can
also be seen at the southwest corner of the schoolyard. At the very south side
of the car park, there are three buildings, among which one is for biology and
another is for genetics.
In the upcoming future, the campus is projected to experience tremendous
change. The original car park would be converted to student car park. In the
meantime, the original genetic building is planned to expand with a brand-new
biology building to its south. The vast forest is predicted to be cut off to
make room for the other genetics building and a new chemistry building. What is
more, the rectangular building, sited in the middle of the school, would be
changed into a L-shaped one close to which there would be a triangle-shaped car
park.
Overall, more buildings are planned to constructed in the future at the
cost of clearing the vegetation.

考試題目：
More and more people want to buy famous brands of clothes, car and other
items. What are the reasons? Do you think it is a positive or negative
development?
(Word count： 334)
It is commonly believed that there is a trend in owning a famous brand
names with clothes, cars and other items. It is understandable that people tend
to purchase top ranked labels due to the high quality of products that are
provided to consumers. From my perspective, I do not agree with the idea of
owning expensive items even though it may be warranted.
On the one hand, there are many reasons can be given to explain the rapid
increasing in the number of clients using luxury products. People usually
purchase high ranked products because these items often have the luxurious and
come along with the unique appearances. Such products normally will offer the
customers who wear it the strong confidence towards other people and also bring
them the chances to show off their prosperity and social status. High quality
products, such as Rolex Watch, often being crafted by professional craftsmen,
which will give the owner of the products enjoy using it for many years.
On the other hand, there are some drawbacks on our families and also the
society when following this trend. Besides from the high quality the products
given, some people purchase these brand items are not because they need it but
because it is trendy. For instant, lots of young middle-class people in Viet Nam
spend a great deal of money into latest smartphone like the iPhone 6 plus
currently, even though their old phone still functioning perfectly. This may
cause some risks in the security of financial in the future. Moreover, this
trend is usually happening in developed countries to symbolize the high classes
people, however, we Vietnamese are not aware of our currently financial status,
resulting in the fact that people’s belongings are considered a more important
factor than who they really are.
In conclusion, the growing consumption of brand name products might be
explained with their luxurious appearance, excellent quality and so on, however,
I believe this trending is a disadvantage to all our families and society.
