相关英文原文阅读There’re still debates about the origins of Polynesian culture (debate details can be found by searching “Polynesian Culture” in wikipedia), but one thing we can ensure is that Polynesia is not a single tribe but a complex one. Polynesians which includes Marquesans, Samoans, Niueans, Tongans, Cook Islanders, Hawaiians, Tahitians, and Māori, are genetically linked to indigenous peoples of parts of Southeast Asia. It’s a sub-region of Oceania, comprising of a large grouping of over 1 ,000 islands scattered over the central and southern Pacific Ocean, within a triangle that has New Zealand, Hawaii and Easter Island as its corners. The two pictures below clearly show this triangle:People who live in these islands are regarded as Polynesians for their similar traits in language, customs, society and culture. Some people’s question about the differences between Polynesian and Samoan, Marquesans, Tongans or Tahitian tattoos (e.g.) can be answered here: They are just a branch of Polynesian Tattoos and each branch has its own subtle features. However few people know or realize the differences among them today.The first visited Polynesian islands were the Marquesas Islands, which is found by European explorers, the Spanish navigator, Álvaro de Mendaña de Neira, in 1595. But the European navigators showed little interest due to the lack of valuable resources.Captain James Cook was the first navigator trying to explore the whole Polynesia Triangle. The naturalist aboard “the HMS Endeavour” (Captain Cook’s ship), Joseph Banks, first mentioned the word “tattoo” (Also called “Tatau” by Samoan and “Tatu” by Tahitian) in his journal: “I shall now mention the way they mark themselves indelibly, each of them is so marked by their humor ordisposition”.In 1771, when James Cook first returned to Tahiti and New Zealand from his first Voyage, the word “tattoo” appeared in Europe. He narrated a behavior of Polynesian in his voyage, which is called “tattaw”. He also brought a Tahitian named Ma’i to Europe and since then tattoo started to become rapidly famous because of the tattoos of Ma’i. Another saying is that the Polynesian tattoos were fond of by European sailors and spread extremely fast in Europe because they were with the tattoos emblazoned on their bodies when back home after voyages.The tradition of Polynesian tattooing existed from 2000 years ago. In 18th century this operation was strictly banned by the Old Testament. In early 1980′s, tattooing started to get a renaissance. Since then many lost arts were retrieved by Polynesians. But due to the difficulty in sterilizing the traditional tools, the Ministry of Health banned tattooing in French Polynesia in 1986.Although many years passed, tools and techniques of Polynesian tattooing have changed little. For a strictly traditional design, the skill gets handed from father to son, or master to disciple. Each tattoo artist, or tufuga, learned the craft over many years of serving as his master’s apprentice. They vertically passed their knowledge and rarely spread it widely because of its sacred nature.Tattoo was a way delivering information of its owner. It’s also a traditional method to fetch spiritual power, protection and strength. The Polynesians use this as a sign of character, position and levels in a hierarchy. Polynesian peoples believe that a person’s mana, their spiritual power or life force, is displayed through their tattoo. Almost every Polynesian got a tattoo in ancient times.Tattoo masters are the most crucial people because they bear the meaning of symbols and motifs in memory and know how to combine them to create a meaningful work of art to each person. For example, sea creatures are very common Polynesian symbols, like mantas, sharks, bonitos and sea urchins. Each of them has a meaning related to its inner nature and embodies the meaning by tattooing it on to the body. Polynesian tattoo masters can express varieties of meanings by combining different Polynesian symbols and motifs together.Polynesian tattoo style can vary from island to island. It depends onthe degree of evolution of various traditions from the original common tattoo designs, like Lapita, which is a former Pacific archeological culture. Ancient original styles mainly consist of some simple patterns, like straight lines, repeating on the body. These geometrical styles can be found in Hawaiian and Samoan tattoo traditions, or in tattoos from Fiji, Palau, Tonga, etc. Because the age is too far from nowadays, the meanings of these patterns are almost lost, or debatable. The most used styles nowadays, which instead consist of rounded patterns, are from Marquesas Island.题型难度分析旧题,历史文化类题材,简单。

In 2003 and 2004, they shared the same percentage, at 80%. In 2005, this figure increased significantly to 100%, but decreased slightly to 90% in the next year.We can see from the chart that the entire group experienced an upward trend. In the group of 25 to 44 years old, the percentage grew gradually from 50% to 80% between 2003 and 2006. There were similar increases for the group 55 to 64 years old, rising from 30% in 2003 to 50% in 2006. As for the other two groups, although the percentage has a marginal fluctuation, the overall trend went up obviously.In summary, adults between 16 and 44 showed the great need of Internet, nut their percentage declined with time. And Internet gained a growing number of users regardless of their ages.177 wordsT2:年轻人与年龄大的人,谁更具有领导能力?The leaders of directors of organisations are often older people.

Afterwards, the sales of adults’ fictions decreased quickly to 37 million dollars. Despite a slight increase in the following year, they experienced a drop of 10 million dollars from 2004 to 2006.By contrast, there was a big rise of 16 million dollars in the sales of children’s books during this period. In 2002, they were 33 million dollars and ended up at 56 million dollars in 2006 when they were the highest among these three kinds of books. When it comes to the figure for educational books, it fluctuated between 2002 and 2006. It was the smallest at the beginning (25 million dollars), although it exceeded the figure for adults’ fictions in the end (33million dollars).Overall, the sales of children’s books and educational books rose markedly while the popularityof adults’ fictions dropped.176 wordsT2:人们可以自由制造噪音吗?Some people think that the amount of noise people make have to be controlled strictly, others say that people are free to make as such as they wish. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.It is generally agreed that making noise is an important behaviour. Some people take a position that general public has the responsibility to control their noise strictly but others consider whether to make noise is a personal right. In my view, noise should be controlled depends on different conditions.It is inevitable to make some noise in daily life. For example, in the final of World Cup, every fan will rise their feet and cheer wildly when their favorite player score in the final minute of the game. Likewise, the public will also cheer and even scream, making a series of high pitched sound, to welcome festivals like carnival or the New Year. People make noise in these situations in order to express their positive emotions, which is reasonable and acceptable.However, to control noise is necessary in most cases, both for individual and society. To individual, employees can increase their work efficiency in a quiet working environment. Too much noise will district people’s attention so that they may not complete their urgent task on time. Besides, some medical research has proved that noise may cause negative influence on people’s physical health and even result in some diseases, such as heart attack and high blood pressure. Therefore, it is better for people to keep away from noise for physical and mental health. From the social perspective, controlling noise reflects people’s mutual care and attention. Only in this way can people build a harmonious social relationship, both in relatives and coworkers. If everyone did not make any unnecessary noise, society could be more peaceful.In conclusion, although much noise throughout our life is unavoidable, it should be controlled by the government since it may be harmful for personal health and social harmony.291 words1-29(A+G)听力:S1: 填空10题S2:配对6+选择4S3:配对5+选择5S4:填空10题阅读:P1:选择3、配对5、简答5P2:段落信息配对6、填空4、人名观点配对3P3:选择4、判断4、填空6写作:T1:流程图(做罐头)T2:环境Nowadays both scientists and tourists can go to remote natural environments such as the South Pole. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?Unknown natural is always brimming with seductive scenery. Plenty of researchers and travelers make trips to distant natural places, such as the Mount Qomolangma, Antarctica and the North Pole. I am of the opinion that this has more disadvantages than advantages.Discover of new areas always bring some irreparable destruction. Before the South Pole is in the sight of public, it was once an uncharted territory. Since its discovery, hundreds of explorers and scientists had taken adventures to this wilderness. At the same time, their scientific expedition may leave some geographical environment destruction there. And it is quite troublesome to make up such destruction.Although travelers extremely enjoy the breathtaking natural landscape, they bring along tremendous risks. One of the most common phenomenon of travelers is producing pollution to local areas. As reported in many cases, holidaymakers have left behind tons of waste in the Antarctica over the last century. This will not only threaten the survival of many creatures, including endangered species such as penguins and seals, but also cause irreversible damage to the ecosystem.In addition, we cannot avoid the fact that untouched environments are scientifically proved to have considerable oil and gas reserves. Currently, the world fuel supply is running out in the next fifty years, and no countries will help themselves from the temptation of these fuel sources. The greed of people will drive them to drain out the resource in these regions, and by then places like the South Pole will be truly deserted.In conclusion, I confirm that travelling to virgin land will bring far more losses than gains.265 words1-31(A)S1: 填空6+配对4S2:填空10S3:选择5+配对5S4:填空6+选择4阅读:P1:判断4、填空8(图标4、表格4)P2:段落信息配对5、人名观点配对4、填空4P3:选项填空5、选择5、判断4写作:T1:动态柱The chart below shows the percentage of the whole population in four countries from 1950-2002, with projections to 2050.The bar chart compares the changes in the proportion of population in India, China, the USA and Japan in 1950 and 2002, and it also indicates the projections for 2050.In 1950, China accounted for one fourth of the world population. Although this figure decreased slightly, it still ranked the first in 2002, compared to other three countries. It is estimated that the population in China will continue to drop to 19 percent in the middle of this century.India ranked the second in terms of the population in the table, which make up 15 percent in 1950, but since then, there was a dramatic increase, climbing to approximately 19 percent. The percentage is expected to increase slightly to 21 percent in 2050 and will probably exceed that in China.When it comes to the population in the USA and Japan, both of which witnessed a decrease from 1950 to 2002. It is predicted that in 2050, the percentage will remain the same in the USA, and in Japan, the percentage is likely to keep falling.Overall, it seems that India will become the country with the largest population although there is still a huge number of people in China.200 wordsT2:动物保护Some people argue that too much attention and too many resources are given to the protection of wild animals and birds. To what extent do you agree or disagree?In recent years, animal protection has become an issue of concern. People take different attitudes toward the increasing attention and expenditure on wildlife conservation. Some people suggest that the spending should be redirected to helping other fields in our society. I agree with the view that the investment in wildlife protection is not worthwhile.Animals, as a key component of the whole food chain, have a profound impact on the sustainability of an ecosystem. As we known, every kind of animals plays an important role in natural balance. For instance, the demise of any species will lead to the growth or decline of other species. In some extreme cases, some species may at the verge of extinction such as Dodo bird. If people did not take actions to protect wildlife as soon as possible, we humans would be affected in the end.However, there are more issues that we need to focus in our society rather than protecting animals. In current social context, the primary task is still to improving living standards since there are many people living under the poverty line. Only when people are in a good living condition, can they pay attention to other social problems. Besides, technology and education are another two aspects for governments to concern. These two industries accelerate the development of society, which will provide a better protection for wildlife in turn.In conclusion, although the animal is a significant part of ecosystem, it is better for governments to invest more finance and resources in other social problems.255 words。

Time to cool it1 REFRIGERATORS are the epitome of clunky technology: solid, reliable and justa little bit dull。
They have not changed much over the past century, but then they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea——draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it, and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it。
This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well when refrigerators’ main jobs were preserving food and, as air conditioners, cooling buildings。
Today's high-tech world, however, demands high-tech refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for something to replace them.2 One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials。
These act like batteries when they undergo a temperature change: attach electrodes to them and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra—red cameras。

2015年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析五

new weapon to fight cancer1. British scientists are preparing to launch trials of a radical new way to fight cancer, which kills tumours by infecting them with viruses like the common cold.2. If successful, virus therapy could eventually form a third pillar alongside radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the standard arsenal against cancer, while avoiding some of the debilitating side-effects.3. Leonard Seymour, a professor of gene therapy at Oxford University, who has been working on the virus therapy with colleagues in London and the US, will lead the trials later this year. Cancer Research UK said yesterday that it was excited by the potential of Prof Seymour's pioneering techniques.4. One of the country's leading geneticists, Prof Seymour has been working with viruses that kill cancer cells directly, while avoiding harm to healthy tissue. "In principle, you've got something which could be many times more effective than regular chemotherapy," he said.5. Cancer-killing viruses exploit the fact that cancer cells suppress the body's local immune system. "If a cancer doesn't do that, the immune system wipes it out. If you can get a virus into a tumour, viruses find them a very good place to be because there's no immune system to stop them replicating. You can regard it as the cancer's Achilles' heel."6. Only a small amount of the virus needs to get to the cancer. "They replicate,you get a million copies in each cell and the cell bursts and they infect the tumour cells adjacent and repeat the process," said Prof Seymour.7. Preliminary research on mice shows that the viruses work well on tumours resistant to standard cancer drugs. "It's an interesting possibility that they may have an advantage in killing drug-resistant tumours, which could be quite different to anything we've had before."8. Researchers have known for some time that viruses can kill tumour cells and some aspects of the work have already been published in scientific journals. American scientists have previously injected viruses directly into tumours but this technique will not work if the cancer is inaccessible or has spread throughout the body.9. Prof Seymour's innovative solution is to mask the virus from the body's immune system, effectively allowing the viruses to do what chemotherapy drugs do - spread through the blood and reach tumours wherever they are. The big hurdle has always been to find a way to deliver viruses to tumours via the bloodstream without the body's immune system destroying them on the way.10. "What we've done is make chemical modifications to the virus to put a polymer coat around it - it's a stealth virus when you inject it," he said.11. After the stealth virus infects the tumour, it replicates, but the copies do not have the chemical modifications. If they escape from the tumour, the copies will be quickly recognised and mopped up by the body's immune system.12. The therapy would be especially useful for secondary cancers, called metastases, which sometimes spread around the body after the first tumour appears. "There's an awful statistic of patients in the west ... with malignant cancers;75% of them go on to die from metastases," said Prof Seymour.13. Two viruses are likely to be examined in the first clinical trials:adenovirus, which normally causes a cold-like illness, and vaccinia, which causes cowpox and is also used in the vaccine against smallpox. For safety reasons, both will be disabled to make them less pathogenic in the trial, but Prof Seymour said he eventually hopes to use natural viruses.14. The first trials will use uncoated adenovirus and vaccinia and will be delivered locally to liver tumours, in order to establish whether the treatment is safe in humans and what dose of virus will be needed. Several more years of trials will be needed, eventually also on the polymer-coated viruses, before the therapy can be considered for use in the NHS. Though the approach will be examined at firstfor cancers that do not respond to conventional treatments, Prof Seymour hopes that one day it might be applied to all cancers.Questions 1-6 Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage? For questions 1-6 writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this in the passage1.Virus therapy, if successful, has an advantage in eliminating side-effects.2.Cancer Research UK is quite hopeful about Professor Seymour’s work on the virus therapy.3.Virus can kill cancer cells and stop them from growing again.4.Cancer’s Achilles’ heel refers to the fact that virus may stay safely ina tumor and replicate.5.To infect the cancer cells, a good deal of viruses should be injected into the tumor.6.Researches on animals indicate that virus could be used as a new way to treat drug-resistant tumors.Question 7-9 Based on the reading passage, choose the appropriate letter from A-D for each answer.rmation about researches on viruses killing tumor cells can be found(A) on TV(B) in magazines(C) on internet(D) in newspapers8.To treat tumors spreading out in body, researchers try to(A) change the body’ immune system(B) inject chemotherapy drugs into bloodstream.(C) increase the amount of injection(D) disguise the viruses on the way to tumors.9.When the chemical modified virus in tumor replicates, the copies(A) will soon escape from the tumor and spread out.(B) will be wiped out by the body’s immune system.(C) will be immediately recognized by the researchers.(D) will eventually stop the tumor from spreading outQuestions 10-13 Complete the sentences below.

小马小编为雅思考生们带来剑桥雅思10test1阅读真题解析,希望能给雅思考生们带来帮助。
点击下载2015年雅思听力真题pdf版【小马内部专用】剑桥雅思10中的阅读难度延续了剑8剑9的常规难度,所以总体来说还好。
海外版的剑桥雅思10一共就两套题,我们今天就来看一下其中test1的阅读。
首先,第一篇文章标题是bovids。
这个文章标题单词不认识时也不用担心,因为正文中第一句话就对这个单词开始了解释:the family of mammals called bovids belongs to……根据这半句话即可知道bovids是一种哺乳动物统称,准确的意思是指“牛科动物”。
文章前三段描述了bovids的主要居住在south-east asia(东南亚),大部分都喜欢居住在wide open spaces(开阔的地方);还描述了大概的外貌和大小以及特征。
然后第四段开始介绍bovids的五种sub-families(分支)。
文章后有三个题型,第一大题是3个选择,通过题中定位词回文定位,答案集中于前三段。
第二大题是名称特征配对,五个特征作为题目,和四个bovids类型配对,有nb,答案从第四段开始一直到最后。
第三大题是简答题5题,no more than three words, 范围是全篇范围,但都是显性定位词,所以定位和确定答案都不难。
第二篇文章标题是photovoltaics on the rooftop(房顶上的太阳能电池). 就从标题来看的话因为有专有词汇所以没法知道这篇文章在讲什么,这时候看副标题:a natural choice for powering the family home. 从副标题和第一段的前两句可以知道这篇文章讲的是利用大自然给家庭供电。

雅思考试阅读考题回顾朗阁海外考试研究中心李珂考试日期 2015年1月10日Reading Passage 1Title Bondi Beach 邦迪海滩Question types TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN 5题Short Answer Questions 4题Summary 4题相关英文原文阅读澳大利亚著名的邦迪海滩 (Bondi Beach)Bondi Beach is about one kilometre long (≈0.6 miles) and receives many visitors throughout the year. Surf Life Saving Australia has given different hazard ratings to Bondi Beach in 2004. While the northern end has been rated a gentle 4 (with 10 as the most hazardous), the southern side is rated as a 7 due to a famous rip current known as the "Backpackers' Express" because of its proximity to the bus stop, and the unwillingness of tourists to walk the length of the beach to safer swimming. The south end of the beach is generally reserved for surfboard riding. Yellow and red flags define safe swimming areas, and visitors are advised to swim between them. There is an underwater shark net shared, during the summer months, with other beaches along the southern part of the coast. Pods of whales and dolphins have been sighted in the bay during the months of migration. Fairy penguins, while uncommon, are sometimes also seen swimming close to shore or amongst surfers in southern line-up.In 2007, the Guinness World Record for the largest swimsuit photo shoot was set at Bondi Beach, with 1,010 women wearing bikinis taking part.Bondi Beach was added to the Australian National Heritage List in 2008.Sport and recreationBondi Beach is the end point of the City to Surf Fun Run which is held each year in August. The race attracts over 63,000 entrants who complete the 14 km run from the central business district of Sydney to Bondi Beach. Other annual activities at Bondi Beach include Flickerfest, Australia's premier international short film festival in January, World Environment Day in June, and Sculpture By TheSea in November. In addition to many activities, the Bondi Beach Markets is open every Sunday. Many Irish and British tourists spend Christmas Day at the beach.An Oceanway connects Bondi to South Head to the north and other beaches to the south up to Coogee.Bondi Beach hosted the beach volleyball competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics. A temporary 10,000-seat stadium, a much smaller stadium, 2 warm-up courts, and 3 training courts were set up to host the tournament.题型难度分析版本号:V121020本篇文章题型难度系数偏低。
三种题型均是对于细节的考查且均具有顺序性,简答题和归纳摘要题对于考生来说是抓住基础分的福音,所以只要细心,这篇文章的正确率完全可以保证。
