1. Write about three passions that have strongly influenced your life. Explain why each of them has been so important to you. e.g. The love of family, a rebellious streak, and affection for the outdoors are three passions that have governed my life. 2. Select one particular passion, and write about three areas of your life in which this passion has influenced you. Explain why this passion could have an influence. e.g. My rebellious streak has strongly influenced my family life, my performance in school, and my choice of career.
PART 2
Tell me about an environmental problem that is facing your country.
You should say:
--what the problem is;
--how it arose;
--how it influences life in your country and explain how this problem could be solved.
You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you're going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.
A、Leaning to one side – You don’t really want to be there, you are trying to slip away;
B、Pacing across the speaking area - Without purpose and with no relation to the speech – You can’t wait to get out. You are wasting your time there.
C、You turn your back on the audience whilst you speak – You are telling lies to your audience.
D、A clenched fist to show anger. It is hostile and threatening. It could also convey the sense you are hiding something.
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: People often miss meals because they get busy or are trying to lose weight. But how you skip meals, and the amount you eat at your next meal, can affect your overall health.
In recent months, (26) two new studies may help explain how skipping meals affects health.
The more recent study looked at what happens when people skip meals but end up eating just as much as they would in a normal day when they finally do sit down to a meal. The study, conducted by diabetes researchers, involved healthy, normal-weight men and women in their 40s. (27) For two months, the study subjects ate three meals a day. For another eight-week period, they skipped two meals but ate the same number of calories in one evening meal, consumed between 4 p. m. and 8 p. m.
The researchers found that skipping meals during the day and eating one large meal in the evening resulted in potentially risky metabolic changes. If the meal skippers persisted long term, it could lead to diabetes.
The study was notable because it followed another study earlier this year that found that skipping meals every other day could actually improve a patient's health. In that study, overweight adults ate normal meals one day. This was followed by a day of severely restricted eating, when they ate about 400 or 500 calories a day -- the equivalent of about one meal.
After following the special dieting pattern for two months, (28) the dieters lost an average of 8 percent of their body weight, and they had lower cholesterol.
The conclusion, say the authors of the more recent meal-skipping study, is that skipping meals as part of a controlled eating plan that results in lower calorie intake can result in better health. However, skipping meals during the day and then overeating at the evening meal results in harmful changes in the body.

C.To explain how skipping meals helps improve health.
D.To explain how skipping meals affects people's health.
•A country currently imports automobiles at $8,000 each. Its government believes that, given time, domestic producers could manufacture autos for only $6,000 but that there would be an initial shakedown period during which autos would cost $10,000 to produce domestically. • a. Suppose that each firm that tries to produce autos must go through the shakedown period of high costs on its own. Under what circumstances would the existence of the initial high costs justify infant industry protection? • b. Now suppose, on the contrary, that once one firm has borne the costs of learning to produce autos at $6,000 each, other firms can imitate it and do the same. Explain how this can prevent development of a domestic industry and how infant industry protection can help.
The aim of controlled scientific experiments is ______.
A.to explain why things happen
B.to explain how things happen
C.to describe self-evident principles
D.to support Aristotelian science
Choose ONE of the following topics and make a 3-minute (about 400 words) speech. Topic 1 We live in this information age in which people have easy access to cell phones equipped with social networking apps. Some question that it will deteriorate our ability to communicate, but others argue that social media could help those who lack interpersonal skills in real life and give them control over the communication process. What’s your opinion? Do you have any feasible suggestions to those who dread talking to others in public? Topic 2 “Chinese cooking and cuisine no longer serve only for nutrition. They have become an integral part of Chinese culture and civilization,” said Anna Louisa Thompson-Floris, UNESCO’s Assistant Director-General for Strategic Planning. If you were the director of an episode of the show “A Bite of China”, how would you present a local dish from your hometown? And please explain how this dish could embody part of the cultural features of your hometown. Topic 3 Traditionally, graduating students at US universities have one last lecture – a commencement speech, often from a celebrity who used to go to their university – before they enter the “real world”. If you had the chance to pick one celebrity to deliver a speech at your university, who would that be? Why would you choose him/her?

When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell. Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of 'reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can conclude that objects fall to the ground because that is where they belong, and smoking goes up because that is where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.
The aim of controlled scientific experiments is ______.
A.to explain why things happen
B.to explain how things happen
C.to describe self-evident principles
