朗阁讲师点评

Part1:

考前一定要熟悉话题，特别是必考题work or study/accommodations/hometown需要提前做好准备。Part1新题在准备时可以将话题结合在一起减轻备考压力，注意不要偏题，从自己的角度准备避免出现一些套话，控制在3句就好。

Part2：

part2审题要仔细，回答问题时要涵盖题目的问题，内容的侧重点可以多放在explain后面的问题，补充自己的答案。同时在组织语言时，学生容易忽略句子之间的连接，注意逻辑词的使用，使得回答更完整。大部分考生容易因为紧张而缺乏思路导致卡顿，或由于紧张而语速飞起，*会重点看考生能否遵照考试指令完成问题，并且有条理有逻辑地回答问题。

考试建议

备考期间准备题库时需要注意话题素材的串联，不要花费过多时间准备素材，另一方面素材准备过多也增加你记忆的难度。除素材积累外，口语考试*重要的还是“说”，流利度是*重要的。准备的素材一定要进行脱稿演绎。考生可以选择自己熟悉的方向进行答题，祝大家取得满意的成绩。

点评：本场考试整体难度不大，相较于今天的其他几门甚至可以说较简单，也算是让今天考试的同学可以稍微舒心一些了。整场听力考试中考试题型中规中矩，没有出现地图题等特殊题型，在这里也建议大家在平时要多关注每周的考情回顾，对自己报考的场次可能出现的题型有一个大致的了解，以防考到不熟悉的题型。其中part3应该算是整场考试中偏难部分，不少同学反应来不及读题，在这里建议大家在平时练习时要对选择题部分的读题速度进行针对性练习，给自己掐表进行计时训练，稳步*读题速度。参考剑桥练习：剑13Test1S4，剑9Test2Section1，剑14Test3S2等。

Passage 3：Map Wars

难易度：较难

题型：匹配+选择

A map of the world expresses a point of view. A correct model of the earth is a sphere - or an ellipsoid to be precise. Photographs of the earth from space provide comforting reassurance on that point. If you wish to know the relative positions of the continents and the oceans you should go out and buy yourself a globe and spin it around.

But a globe cannot be pinned to a wall or printed in a book. For that you need a two-dimensional representation. This is where the problems start since you cannot project three-dimensional information onto a flat plane without making certain assumptions. The arguments between cartographers mostly concern what those assumptions should be.

The simplest two-dimensional representation is a 'cylindrical’ projection - what you get by wrapping a sheet of paper around a globe and simply transferring the information across. This means it indicates true north and south. So, Newfoundland is directly north of Venezuela and it appears that way on the map. East and west similarly are also indicated correctly. Such a map demonstrates what is called 'fidelity of axis’.

One of the longest-lived cylindrical projections was based on the needs of sixteenth century navigators. Gerhard Kremer, a Flemish mathematician, produced his view of the world in 1569. ‘Kremer’ translates to 'merchant’ in English and 'mercator’ in Latin. And the Mercator projection survives to this day in many books and maps.

Mercator’s projection of the world also shows intermediate compass directions

like north-west more or less accurately. So, it is possible to conclude from his map that Brazil is south-west of Liberia and if you plot a course in that direction you will eventually arrive at your destination. No wonder it was appreciated by the early explorers! If it can be used in this way a map is said to have 'fidelity of angle’.

But fidelity of angle is only achieved at a cost. To make it work, the further away you get from the equator, the further apart you have to move the horizontal lines of latitude. As these distances increase so do the sizes of the countries underneath them. So, by the time you get to the North or South Poles the lines would be drawn infinitely far apart and the Arctic and Antarctic regions can scarcely be represented at all since they would be infinitely large. More importantly the relative sizes of intermediate areas are completely distorted; South America seems smaller than Europe whereas in fact it is twice the size. These changes in scale distort both the size and shape of countries. Given such defects, it is surprising that the Mercator projection has survived so long, especially as dozens of other more satisfactory projections have appeared since. One of the best known of these is the Aitoff projection of 1889, which attempted to represent country sizes and shapes more correctly. But to do so required a compromise - the lines of latitude and longitude had to be 'bent’. Fidelity of axis had thus been lost and you could no longer judge north, south, east and west so easily. Most of us, however, did not notice that these projections were different from Mercator. We assumed that all maps were simply factual statements.

Dr. Arno Peters, a German historian, was irritated by the maps he saw widely published, particularly by the survival of Mercator which he argued, gave a euro-centric view of the world. It shrank the developing countries since most of these are around the equator, and it expanded the richer countries since they lay further north. Even the equator itself is shown two thirds of the way down on the traditional Mercator map. Dr. Peters insisted that his map, which first appeared in 1985, has equal-area projection so that no country is given prominence over another, plus fidelity of axis to avoid the disorientating effect of bent lines of latitude and longitude.

Then there is the question of country shape. If you were to take a photo of a globe in its normal position you would find the countries around the equator like Zaire or Ecuador came out of it pretty well. They would be shown relatively large and with something close to their correct shape. But further north or south there are considerable distortions: Australia tails away alarmingly. Dr. Peters decided that the minimum distortions should occur not at the equator but at the 45 degree lines of latitude, as these are much more populated areas. However, this controversial Peters map does radically change the shape of both Africa and South America; and although all projections distort to some extent, it is clear that Africa appears exceptionally long and thin on the Peters map.

But the oddity of the Peters projection is at least partly responsible for its success, as there has been widespread discussion on the misrepresentation of country sizes in previous maps. The issues which the Peters map raises are relatively simple. If you decide you want an equal area map with fidelity of axis you will always get something resembling the Peters projection. If you decide that shape is more significant you will get something else.

The real value of the Peters projection is that it has made the world think about something that before was never taken seriously: that maps of the world represent a point of view just as do press articles or TV programmes or photographs. But it isn’t recommended that you navigate a '747’ round the world with the Peters projection or with any other single global projection they would all lead you astray!

小作文：饼图  澳大利亚三个不同时期汽车的*量

大作文：Some people think history has nothing or little to tell us. Others believe that studying the past history can help us better understand the present. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

朗阁讲师点评

1. 本次考试 难度较低

2. 整体分析：

Task 1:饼图

注意：

1. 本次小作文难度较低，考的是澳大利亚三个不同时期的汽车*量的数据变化，是动态饼图

2. 在进行动态图表描述的过程中，同学们需要充分抓住数据变化的上升、下降、*点、*点等关键特征进行描述，同时注意体现动态图语言表达的同义替换和句型运用等；

3. 另外，在描述趋势变化的基础之上，同学们也不要忽略大小比较，尤其是饼图，还需要格外注意占比大小的问题。

重点表达：占比、上升、下降、到达*点、到达*点

1. Task 2 ：历史类话题

题目翻译：有人认为历史对我们有极少或者压根没有教育意义，另一些人则认为过去的历史可以帮助我们更好地了解现在。讨论双方观点并给出你自己的观点。

从话题上来说，这属于历史类话题。这是一道屡见不鲜的旧题，很多同学在准备的时候或许已经看过这道题目了，由此可见，在备考中，同学们对于典型的、经典的考题还是需要有一定的熟悉。相对而言，历史类话题比较抽象，论证上可以考虑多运用举例；

从类型上来说，这篇考题属于双边类的文章。在审题中，同学们需要注意的是A方中的*词“nothing”，即完全没有任何参考或者教育意义；而在B方观点中，同学们同样需要注意的是限定“better understand the present”，则B段的论证重点应该放在为什么可以

帮助我们更好地理解现在，一些其他的观点例如“历史给人们带来消遣娱乐”“历史让人变得更加智慧”等观点则不符合题目范围；

从结构上来说，可以采取4段式的写法，分别对双方观点进行探讨之后，再表达自己的立场和观点；

第二段：很多人认为历史是没用的，他们认为已经发生的事情不具备参考价值has no reference value，因为*的*变化会使得人类不断面临新的情况和问题，而一味沉溺于过去的经验会让人们固步自封、甚至犯相同的错误stuck in the old ways and even make the same mistakes。与此同时，历史是有偏见的不全面的 biased and incomplete，人们无法完全了解真正的历史，自然也无法从中借鉴；

第三段：人们可以从历史中更好地了解现在。首先，现如今的很多问题并不是凭空产生的，而是基于过去的历史，例如宗教、战争等do not arise out of thin air, but are based on the past history, such as religion, war, etc，都会对现在的社会带来极大的影响。了解过去，可以帮助我们更好地了解现在。其次，从过去的历史，人们可以学习到经验，了解如何规避相同的错误或从*习到经验。

第四段：表明自己的立场和态度：历史是现在现代社会的基础，没有过去就没有现在，了解过去可以帮助我们更好地了解现在，并解决现如今的问题。

考试建议

1. 小作文：柱图等数据图仍然需要格外关注；流程图和地图也需要适当学习；

大作文：社会类考题仍然是关注的重点；其中科技和犯罪类话题需要多留意；
