一、考试概述：

以下为1月份本场考试话题，请考生们扎实准备。

1. Describe a businessman you admire

2. Describe an unusual meal you had

3. Describe a toy you had in your childhood

4. Describe a historical period that you are interested in

5. Describe a situation when you had to be polite

二、具体题目分析：

Describe a toy you had in your childhood

You should say:

When you had the toy

Who gave you the toy

What it was like

As for this topic, I would like to mention a toy in my childhood called Tamagotchi which is actually a handheld digital pet firstly created in Japan and soon became a hit among children all over the world.

I remember it was when I was in the third grade of primary school, my deskmate brought a Tamagotchi to school and showed to me how cute her newly raised pet was in that magical small egg-shaped box. I was amazed and intrigued right away cause back then we didn’t have smart phones, Ipads or even computers were not so popular, that Tamagotchi seemed as the best toy all over the world to me and I would dream of having one.

My deskmate allowed me to play with her pets a couple of days and I was just so happy then. Though it’s a digital pet, it did act like a real pet. You need to feed it when it’s hungry, play with it when it’s sad and clean it up right away after its pooping, otherwise it would get sick. That was just so much fun that I determined to buy one myself after returning it to my deskmate.

After about 10 days not having any snacks, I finally owned a Tamagotchi. But pity was I soon got bored of it because operations were too simple and repetitive. Sometimes beeps made by my pet when it got hungry or unhappy were just annoying. Finally, I couldn’t put up with it anymore so I locked it in my drawer.

二、具体题目分析

Passage 1：

题目：Carnivorous Plants

题型：填空题5 +判断题8

新旧程度：新题

文章大意：讲了包括Venus flytrap捕蝇草和pitcher plants猪笼草在内的这些食肉植物的特点及影响他们的因素。

参考文章：

Evolutionist Charles Darwin first marvelled at flesh-eating plants in the mid-19th century. Today, biologists, using 21st-century tools to study cells and DNA, are beginning to understand how these plants hunt, eat and digest - and how such bizarre adaptations arose in the first place.

A

The leaves of the Venus flytrap plant are covered in hairs. When an insect brushes against them, this triggers a tiny electric charge, which travels down tunnels in the leaf and opens up pores in the leaf’s cell membranes. Water surges from the cells on the inside of the leaf to those on the outside, causing the leaf to rapidly flip in shape from convex to concave, like a soft contact lens. As the leaves flip, they snap together, trapping the insect in their sharp-toothed jaws.

B

The bladderwort has an equally sophisticated way of setting its underwater trap.

It pumps water out of tiny bag-like bladders, making a vacuum inside. When small creatures swim past, they bend the hairs on the bladder, causing a flap to open. The low pressure sucks water in, carrying the animal along with it. In one five-hundredth of a second, the door swings shut again. The Drosera sundew, meanwhile, has a thick, sweet liquid oozing from its leaves, which first attracts insects, then holds them fast before the leaves snap shut. Pitcher plants use yet another strategy, growing long

tube-shaped leaves to imprison their prey. Raffles’ pitcher plan t, from the jungles of Borneo, produces nectar that both lures insects and forms a slick surface on which they can’t get a grip. Insects that land on the rim of the pitcher slide on the liquid and tumble in.

C

Many carnivorous plants secrete enzymes to penetrate the hard exoskeleton of insects so they can absorb nutrients from inside their prey. But the purple pitcher plant, which lives in bogs and infertile sandy soils in North America, enlists other organisms to process its food. It is home to an intricate food web of mosquito larvae, midges and bacteria, many of which can survive only in this unique habitat. These animals shred the prey that fall into the pitcher, and the smaller organisms feed on the debris. Finally, the plant absorbs the nutrients released.

D

While such plants clearly thrive on being carnivorous, the benefits of eating flesh are not the ones you might expect. Carnivorous animals such as ourselves use the carbon in protein and the fat in meat to build muscles and store energy. Carnivorous plants instead draw nitrogen, phosphorus, and other critical nutrients from their prey in order to build light-harvesting enzymes. Eating animals, in other words, lets carnivorous plants do what all plants do: carry out photosynthesis, that is, grow by harnessing energy directly from the sun.

E

Carnivorous plants are, in fact, very inefficient at converting sunlight into tissue. This is because of all the energy they expend to make the equipment to catch animals - the enzymes, the pumps, and so on. A pitcher or a flytrap cannot carry out much

photosynthesis because, unlike plants with ordinary leaves, they do not have flat solar panels that can grab lots of sunlight. There are, however, some special conditions in which the benefits of being carnivorous do outweigh the costs. The poor soil of bogs, for example, offers little nitrogen and phosphorus, so carnivorous plants enjoy an advantage over plants that obtain these nutrients by more conventional means. Bogs are also flooded with sunshine, so even an inefficient carnivorous plant can photosynthesise enough light to survive.

F

Evolution has repeatedly made this trade-off. By comparing the DNA of carnivorous plants with other species, scientists have found that they evolved independently on at least six separate occasions. Some carnivorous plants that look nearly identical turn out to be only distantly related. The two kinds of pitcher plants - the tropical genus Nepenthes and the North American Sarracenia - have, surprisingly, evolved from different ancestors, although both grow deep pitcher- shaped leaves and employ the same strategy for capturing prey.

G

In several cases, scientists can see how complex carnivorous plants evolved from simpler ones. Venus flytraps, for example, share an ancestor with Portuguese sundews, which only catch prey passively, via ‘flypaper’ glands on their stems. They share a more recent ancestor with Drosera sundews, which can also curl their leaves over their prey. Venus flytraps appear to have evolved an even more elaborate version of this kind of trap, complete with jaw-like leaves.

TASK 2

题目类别：社会话题

提问方式：观点类

考试题目：

The restoration of old buildings in major cities in the world spends numerous government expenditures. This money should be used in new housing and road development. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

(Word count：272)

The huge population explosion has necessitated cities’reconstruction and modernization. Although I acknowledge that government budgets should be largely spent on modernized infrastructures, I would argue that it is also of vital importance to preserve old buildings.

It is true that compared to new buildings, some old ones have retarded the development of cities as they fail to satisfy the growing needs of the contemporary society. These obsolete constructions are overshadowed by new ones in lighting, safety, sanitation, ventilation and sewage treatment. They may also constitute the

underutilisation of lands and the slow development of transportation networks. It is particularly worthless to renovate old buildings possessing little cultural implication.

The demolishing of some old buildings, however, will damage a country’s cultural heritage as well as citizens’sense of identity. Architecture is considered the materialized culture of a nation, and some historical buildings have withstood the test of time, highlighting their aesthetic and cultural values. Their collapse will erode a nation’s uniqueness in aesthetic, as one of the most essential parts of cultural identity is destroyed. For example, if the Forbidden City were dismantled, Beijing would be identical with any foreign metropolis.

Another significant value of vintage architectures, which make them well worth the government funds, is the values of further researches and analysing. The interpretation of a piece of classical architecture is unlimited. As the technologies is being improved and perfected, future generations will obtain much profound comprehension and discoveries from these historical relics than us. Once these cultural legacies stop existing, there will be tremendous loses in the fields of archaeology, architecture and many humanity related disciplines.

In conclusion, it is indeed necessary for governments to subsidise reconstruction of cities heavily, on the other hand, sufficient space and money should be saved for protection of some classical architectures.
