SPEAKING SECTION

 

Task 1

Describe how people's lives changed in your country. Explain why this change is important.

Sample response

The education quality in China has improved a lot in recent years. I'd like to talk about
computerization.

First, distance education has made it possible for people to access educational
resources more easily. People can learn, even earn advance degrees from the comfort of their
home. This is especially important for people who have disabilities and those who live in remote
areas.

Second, government has a greater involvement in education than before. More funding
is provided to universities. Such funding is used toward hiring more teaching staff, renovating
facilities on campus and offering scholarships and financial aids to students in need.

 

Task 2

Some people prefer to go straight to their destination while traveling, others prefer to spend
more time looking around on the way. Which do you prefer?


Sample response

I prefer spending more time looking around during a trip rather than shooting straight for my
destination.

First of all, the journey is the reward. While driving from one city to another, we pass
so many towns, that each has unique qualities of its own. It's fun to jump from one city to the
next, tasting different dishes, listening to different dialects and seeing various landscapes. On the
other hand, it is boring to aim for my destination without stopping. I would miss all the fun. Plus, 
by making stops along the way. I also get a chance to take breaks from driving for too many hours
straight which can be tiring and unsafe.


 

Task 3

【提议】学生建议期末的时候在学生宿舍楼里供应小吃。

【学生议论】Woman agrees

理由1 去食堂吃饭来回的路上会影响学习

理由2:自动贩卖机上一般都是垃圾食品,如果能有三明治这类小吃能让她觉得更加精神焕发。

Sample response

In the reading passage, we get to know that the student suggests that the students' dormitory building should offer snacks at the
end of the semester. The woman agrees with the suggesting because first, it affects the students' study when they spend too much time on the way to the
cafeteria. Besides, snacks like sandwiches make the woman feel more refreshed compared to the junk
food in those vending machines.


 

Task 4

【名词解释】resource partitioning, 就是说在同一地区生活的动物会进化产生不同的特性。即不同获取食物的方法,从而使得他们之间不是激烈的竞争,而不是共同分割,瓜分食物、领地、等等。

【教授举例】两种鸭子,一种叫canvasback duck. 嘴巴长点,可以挖出埋在深处的虫子,所以主要依靠池塘的中,一种叫redhead duck  嘴巴shallow&broad,所以主要吃池塘边上的。

Sample response

Resource partitioning means species that share the same habitat and have similar needs frequently use resources in somewhat different ways - so that they do not come into direct competition for at least part of the limiting resource. The professor gives two examples to illustrate the term.

The first example is a kind of duck called canvasback duck, which has a long duckbill, so it can dig the worms in the deep ground, which can be found  in the center of the pond. The second example is a redhead duck, whose bill is shallow and broad, so the worm at the edge the pond are their staple.

 

Task 5

【学生困难】即将放假,女生的室友第二天开车回家,但是女生有个论文还没写。

方案一:熬夜写

评价:但是这样明天就太累了

方案二:索性留下明天再写

 评价:但这要就要自己坐大巴和火车回家

Sample response

The girl has encountered a problem that her roommate is driving home tomorrow and she can give the woman a lift, 
but the woman still has a paper to finish. The first is to stay up all night and finish the paper
. Another one is to stay here the next day and finish the paper. Personally, I recommend the first solution. Because first, she can go home with her roommate, and if she feels tired, she can have a rest in her friend’s car. And second, she will not have to take the bus and the train all by herself, which could be really boring.

 

Task 6

【讲课要点】Paintings were not perspective which means flat, lacking dimensions before the renaissance,
but after the renaissance, several methods were used that helped the paintings look more
perspective and realistic


方法1artists began using optical devices such as camera or mirrors, for example, to draw a
bowl of fruit, they could use mirror to reflect the image on canvas, then trace the lines.

方法2artists began using special paint oils, which took more time to dry, the artist could pay
more attention to details, which also made the painting more perspective.
