【口语】一、考试概述：以下为8月份本场高频题，请考生扎实准备。
1. Describe a city or country that you would like to live or work
2. Describe an important river or lake in your country
3. Describe a leisure facility you would like to have in your hometown
4. Describe a thing you own that you want to replace
5. Describe a talkative person you know
二、具体题目分析：
Describe a talkative person you know.
You should say:
Who he or she is
How you got to know him or her
What he or she likes to talk about
And explain how do you like him or her
Actually this topic reminds me of a boy named Jason. I knew Jason from an international exchange program in Chicago University last year. It was my first time got to know him but soon we became good friends. He is a charming boy who is also pretty stout. But what makes him a real popular program in our class is his perfect personality, you know, quite outgoing and approachable. Actually, what I can learn from him is his inter-personal communicative skills. Or, in other words, being talkative. That’s our first time to participate in an English program with so many classmates with many countries. For the first week, I felt hard to get along with my teammates, as I was reluctant to speak to others. But it seemed like Jason was having a great time with his teammates. And I notice that, Jason was glad to talk and share his ideas with others, though he was not always fluent. I wouldn’t say he talked too much, I guess he just made good use all possible opportunities to practice and interact with others which was actually beneficial. At the end of that exchange program, I turned to another person and I guess I should be thankful to Jason because he was the person who really inspired me.

文章大意：
第一段和第二段说一共有300多种鹦鹉的种类，其中在澳大利亚就有几分之几，有一个制造地图的人，他把澳大利亚描述成为非常多鹦鹉的地方;一个艺术家画家，他也描述了澳大利亚鹦鹉的多样性。这两段就是填空。
为什么会有那么多鹦鹉在澳大利亚。因为在一开始南半球只有一块大陆，后来裂开才分开3个，南半球有很多鹦鹉的祖先，因此这就是为什么现在鹦鹉大多在南半球。
鹦鹉的嘴为何有那么多种样子，因为植物和果实的多种多样，他们的喙的形状也是多种多样的。
植物也会去适应鹦鹉，颜色会鲜艳，来吸引鹦鹉，帮助传粉。
鹦鹉的居住地在之前在大陆的比较潮湿的树林中，但是由于气候的改变和人类活动的影响，鹦鹉要去重新适应环境。
去适应环境的过程当中，有的鹦鹉就灭绝了。
有一种鹦鹉的存活是建立在另一种鹦鹉的灭绝之上。
人类去人造鸟巢的缺点，少，贵，只是一个居住的地方，但是不是一个生存的环境。大树不仅能提供住宿，还能提供食物。

TASK 2
Some people think that children should take formal learning at school as young as possible. While others think children should not study at school until at least 7 years old. Discuss both views, and give your own opinion.
题目分析：
题目类型：教育类
提问方式：论述类
Controversy arises as for when children are supposed to embark upon their formal study. I hold the view that earlier exposure to study is an asset for children, even though some minor drawbacks may occur.
Some people advocate the early learning time because this practice could make full play of children’s potential and their intrinsic characters. In their earlier childhood, children tend to be more curious about the world around them and they are more willing to try brand-new things. Motivated by this inherent feature, children are more likely to show interest in school subjects and feel less frustrated and daunted when they encounter some problems and challenges. With due guidance and inspiration from teachers, children may be even cultivated with passion and perseverance, which can provide relentless incentive in the long run.
The opponents, however, deem it unnecessary for children to commence study before they are aged 7 years old. Children are too young to be put under the academic stress and peer competition, mainly because they are not mentally strong and not capable of releasing study-induced stress in a moderate way. The ever-increasing study load also increases the likelihood of less outdoor exercise and contact with nature, which make children less physically strong and even suffer from poor eyesight and some diseases.
Personally, I believe it is sensible for children to start their study earlier. Schools are places where not only knowledge is taught, but also the first spot where students can learn social rules and cultivate their interpersonal communication skills. Children are required to obey school rules, such as being punctual for the class and respecting their classmates and teachers. This can help them to behave in a socially acceptable way and take others into consideration when necessary. In schools, children will also participate in activities, which means they need to listen to their peers and express their own ideas, a practice which will nurture and facilitate their communication abilities.
