1.        interrupted broom T/F/NG matching
英国的一种一度被认为灭绝的野草，这种野草由于其果实聚与顶端而得名。由于工业化，牧场减少，外加现代社会除草剂杀虫剂的使用使野草越来越少。原本在cambridge留有野草的种子，然而由于误存于室温条件，导致种子悉数死亡。学术界认定这种英国特有的野草灭绝。植物学家SMITH给这种野草带来了希望，在70年代后期，SMITH由于兴趣保存了一些种子，之后在MANCHESTER招开的学术会议上他展示了自己培植的一盆盆INTERRUPTED BROOM。这项成果震惊学术界。这种植物将在植物园继续繁殖。植物学界重要组织NATIONAL NATURE希望能通过鼓励农场主在牧场种植使这一植物种可以延续。Interrupted broom是基因突变而来的新植物种类。Miss XXX收集了其第一批样本，Sir YYY 一开始把它归与另一类牧草，后来的植物学家ZZZ认定其能作为一种独立的植物门类。如类似于苜蓿等的野草在牧场上有两种作用一是能作草料二是能肥田。因为现在的农场主多使用更快见效的化肥作肥料而不会费力帮助野草繁殖。Interrupted broom不象其他草能大量多数繁殖，所以不需要通过除草剂来控制其生长。

2.        American cinemas  list of headings, choices, match
美国的影视发展中不可不提的是Griffin,他由于喜爱维多利亚时代的画作所以对镜头远近，布局灯光处理与众不同，以往的方法是只拍摄演员动作而他的改革使电影有了新的美感，这样全新的创作手法让众多导演，制作者争相摹仿。电影业的蓬勃带来了变化，很多传统的小电影厂关闭，新的大集团纷纷兴起。随着电影制作的成本提高使电影公司必须运用种种营销手段。如有一些公司就使用了套餐服务的方法使观众必须付多部电影的钱才能看到特定一部他们想看的电影。电影院的兴建也和以前十分不同， 装修宽敞舒适。电影成为了一种风行的娱乐方式。电影的内容也发生了很大变化，多表现了比观众更为富足的人遇到的众多问题，从而使观众在欣赏电影的中得到放松解脱。

3.        Greying generation in pink summary, match
在针对当前65岁老人人群的调查中发现长期困扰老年人的心血管疾病发病率大大降低，预计当他们到75岁时心血管病的发病率才会达到以前65岁老人心血管发病的水平。这是由于医学的迅猛发展，当然老人在幼年期得到了比以前更好的营养，使他们的身体素质与之前相比大大提高当然，现在的家庭医疗服务也会对这样的现象有助益。可是日益严重的污染状况给老人的身体健康带来了新的威胁。而老人中的残疾现象也有所减少，老人的自理自立能力大大增强，这使老人的压力减少。在以往老人的压力往往会导致各种心脏病。缺乏自理能力的老人往往生活压力很大，这样的压力即使在晚上入眠时都会增加。当然有照顾自己能力的老人也可能面临窘境，最理想的状况是老人又有自理能力又能在需要时得到最快的帮助。

Writing:
Task One:
The trend in employment in the US

Task Two:
University has put the training needed in workplace in its education. But many people argue university should teach for its own sake. What’s your opinion on this issue.


Spoken:
Part One
Where are you from?
I was born in Shanghai, but now I’m studying in Beijing.
Where do you live now?
Now I live in Beijing, on campus sharing a dormitory with three other girls.
What is the part of the city that you like?
The city has a very good academic atmosphere. It has a long history, that’s the most fascinating part.
What is the part of the city that you don’t like?
It’s too crowded, maybe. And the air pollution is getting more and more serious.
Are you going to stay here any longer?
I’m not sure, I guess it all depends on my choice after graduation.
Film
Do you like films?
Yes, quite. I’m a huge fan.
What kind of film do you like?
Usually comedy, I guess. Especially when I am under great pressure.
How often do you watch films?
Two to three times a week.
Do you like to watch alone or with your friends?
Huh.. you know I like to hang out with friends. But regarding films, I’d prefer to watch it by myself. Because sometimes I identified with characters so much that I couldn’t stop crying or laughing…That really makes me look crazy.
Do you prefer to watch film in the cinema or at home?
Both have advantages, you always get better sound effect and view in cinema, but watch film at home is much cheaper. I usually watch films over my laptop in dormitory.
Birthday:
How important is birthday in your country?
It’s quite important, I think. Birthdays are like milestones in one’s life, and are quite meaningful.
What do children get on birthday in your country?
Presents, most commonly. And they’ve got to have some noodles like children in the west would have cakes. That expresses good wishes from the family.
What is the most important  birthday celebrated in China?
It’s the 88th birthday. In Chinese it’s called “Mi Shou” In ancient China scarcely anyone could live up to that age of life. So, if a family has a member aged 88, that will be a real jubilee that worth celebrating.

Part Two
What kind of book would you like to write (eg. Textbook, history book, story book etc.)
You should say
What kind of book you would like to write?
What would you write in your book?
What kind of people would read your book in your opinion?

The book that I’d like to write is something like autobiography. It’s interesting to put down the things one has experienced and the places he has visited. That is something unique and distinguishes one from another. I would write about my life, about the heart attack I got when I was a child, about the growing pains I suffered, the love I gave and received. I would write about my friends, my family the cities I’ve been to. Because it is exactly these events that formed my character and made my life full of stories. It feels good to share with others you story or your experiences. My book is meant mostly for family I’d reckon. For the younger ones to read about their sister, their aunt, their mother even their grandma to know her story, her laughter and sorrows. That’s gotta be fun and of course meaningful doing this, I mean writing the book. I don’t want to write anything boring that one has to cram for before exams.

Follow up
When would you plan to write it?
I’ve actually started writing diary and I got some articles published in some journals.
Do you like writing?
Yes, very much. As for me it’s a good way to relax and looking back to the past.
Part Three:
Writer
What is the most important quality about a writer?
It all depends on the nature of the books he wants to write. For instance he has to be faithful to the facts and objective if he wants to write a textbook or history book. You’ve got be serious about writing that kind of stuff. As for fiction writers, they should be imaginative.
Why do people choose to write for a living?
I guess early last century writing was the only possible means of making a living for women. Nowadays many choose to write out of their personal interest what’s more they can get paid for their interest. Isn’t it good?
What kind of difficulty would a writer come up with?
Instability, financially, I guess, especially for free-lance writers. The lack of inspiration is also terrible, writers usually come up with bottlenecks when they want to write something.
Library
What do you think of library in your society?
It’s quite important nowadays though I admit in the past when knowledge was not fully desired, many library was torn down and many books burnt to ash. In this new era, such thing won’t happen again. What’s more, library is not only a place of serious learning but also a great place to have fun and entertain oneself.
How can library encourage people to read/learn more?
In many ways, but the most significant one is it is in the libraries that one can have free access to new books of vast varieties. Books are by no means inexpensive these days, and you don’t know which are the ones you want to buy and keep them for second reading. While for other books you just want to scan through some pages and put them back to the shelves.
What do you think of the government spending amount of money on library for the general public?
I totally agree that government has many other issues concerned while the budget is usually limited. But spending on the library is always a wise choice, cause it never does harm to nation if its government encourages its people to learn more.

冒昧问一句,"再考一次再背",为什么呢?

anyway,谢谢过路捧场!

柠檬汽水UID: 2112996

因为他们觉得两次考试之间重复的几率会比较大,所以打算我先考再背,他们再考一个礼拜以后的. 考的时候就是觉得听力是拿分项目,一定把题干提前读清楚,而阅读要控制节奏,不要在第一篇浪费太多时间,写作这次就拿了7,因为之前没有练过,所以第一篇就用了40分钟还不知所云,后来的ISSUE就不怕了,言之有理就行.至于口语考试,我是英音,遭遇一老美,郁闷....其实口语考试就是很流水帐的,考官面无表情地或(运气较好时)稍稍微笑地照纸念,其实一点也没传的那么玄呼,就是TWO WAY DISCUSSION也是象INVESTIGATION一样.轻松上阵,胡吹一通比较好!大家姑妄听之,共勉共勉

面食口语地有老美么？？
好象大部分都是澳大利亚地吧~~:D
汽水一强人啊，哈哈~~

柠檬汽水UID: 2112996

汽水是学英语专业口译的,所以在联系的时候要听不同国家人的发音,因此基本确定是老美,
6月11号陪两个朋友去考给,结果他的考官是一日本裔的,一个是印度人.当然都没什么口音.
因为要做雅思必须具备9分水准,还要有英语教学的资格证书和取得证书后3年以上的教学经验才能做考官.这是我一想当考官而当不上的澳大利亚朋友告诉我的:)
