以下为本次考试部分高频话题解析：
Part 1
Letters and Emails
Do you still write letters nowadays or do you just use email?
参考答案：
Obviously I don’t write letters any more as it is so old-fashioned and takes so long to get the message to others. Besides, I believe fewer and fewer people write letters right now.
Can you tell me some of the major differences between writing letters and email?
参考答案：
Well, one big difference between them I can think of is the speed at which the message is delivered. What I mean by that is the receiver can get your message through email much faster while it will have to take at least a few days for the receiver to get the message.
What sorts of email can make you feel excited?
参考答案：
Well, definitely any email that contains good news can make me excited or even thrilled. For instance, I will be so pleased to receive an email in which I am informed that I am officially admitted to a university I’ve been dreaming to go to.
Do you think that people will stop using letters in the future?
参考答案：
No, I do not think letters will become obsolete in the future, because it brings people a much more intimate and personal feeling when people receive letters from their friends and families, which is something that email cannot do.
Do you prefer to make a phone call or send an email to others?
参考答案：
It really depends on what matter I need to address. For instance, I will have to make a phone call if I need someone’s immediate attention to the matter I work on. Otherwise, I will probably just send an email as it is nothing urgent.
Part 2 & 3
Part 2题目
Describe an interesting website you often visit.
You should say:
What it is
When you first visited it
What you found out;
And explain why it was interesting to you.

到最后解释，说明的部分，大家需要展开说明为什么这个网站如此有趣， 特别， 比如它的内容， 展现形式或者它提供的其他服务等等。
参考答案：
Well, there's indeed one particular website I would like to talk about, and it is Taobao. You may have heard of it if you have stayed in China long enough.
Anyway, it's become one of the most influential and popular websites in China. As a shopping website, millions of sellers take advantage of this platform to sell all kinds of products every day, which is such a benefit for shoppers as people from all ages seem to be interested in it, so just like what people say, there is nothing you cannot find if you go to search for it on Taobao.
I could still remember it was about 8 years ago that I first visited that website when I was actually trying to look for something else on another website, and suddenly a pop-up window came out so I just unconsciously clicked on it. And then it turned out to be . From then on, as I began to use it more and more, I was surprised to find out there's a huge variety of products being sold every day. Plus, you could find lots of special offers there occasionally.
I enjoy that website so much as it's such a wonderful place where I can shop anything I need without having to walk around at those shopping malls, which can be really exhausting. In addition, it's also an amazing place where I can do some window shopping just to kill time when I feel really bored. Therefore, I have to admit, the more I use it, the more I like it.
重点词汇及表达：
①influential： 形容词； 有影响力的
Eg：With his influential background, Peter definitely has a great impact on the changes of the company.
②a variety of : 短语； 各种各样的
Eg：There are a variety of products in those online shops.

④window-shopping： 名词； 浏览商店的橱窗（只看不买）

Part 3题目
What do you think of on-line education?
参考答案：
Well, I personally think it's a positive trend as it doesn't require learners to travel to traditional schools or classrooms, which saves a lot of time.
Instead, the learner can just stay at home sitting in front of a computer with the internet access, and then he or she can just enjoy the pleasure of receiving education.
重点词汇及表达：
①positive： 形容词；积极的 乐观的
Eg：No matter what troubles he faces, he can always stay positive.
②access: 名词；使用权
Eg：Peter sent a complaint letter to the manager of the hotel as there was no internet access in his room.
How does internet shape the way people live?
参考答案：
Well, our life has been dramatically changed since the invention of the internet.
In the past, we didn't have the access to the latest news unless we turned on our TV or read newspaper, but now with the internet, especially with the internet function in our smartphone, we can get the news so fast.
重点词汇及表达：
①dramatically： 副词；夸张的 戏剧化的
Eg：After living for 5 years in the US, her eating habit has dramatically changed.
②function : 名词； 功能 作用
Eg：I suggest you try to find more functions in this new smartphone.
Why do some people, especially young women get addicted to on-line shopping?
Well, reasons may vary, but I guess the most direct reason is the convenience brought by on-line shopping. With those on-line stores selling all sorts of goods, it is clearly so easy for those young women to browse what they like, meaning all they need to do is to sit in front of their computer and click their mouse to make their purchase.
重点词汇及表达：
①vary： 动词； 不同 不一样
Eg：People may vary in terms of their personalities, but they all come here for one purpose. That is to win the contest and get the award.
②purchase : 动词/名词； 购买
Eg：In order to stop him from overspending, he keeps a record of each purchase he makes.
Do you think people can live without the internet?
参考答案：
Definitely not.
Internet has greatly shaped the way we live in so many amazing ways, so we rely on it for almost everything.
For instance, we use it to send emails at work, to stay in touch with friends, to look for information and we also use it for fun when we feel bored.
重点词汇及表达：
①amazing： 形容词；吃惊的 美好的
Eg：With so many amazing movies in the up-coming season, he does not really know which one to watch.
②rely on: 动词短语; 依赖 依靠
Eg：Most Chinese kids rely on their parents too much so what usually happens is that they find it hard to live on their own independently after they start their study abroad.

A类小作文：
题目：The charts below show information about the total value and sources of fish imports to US from 1997 to 2007.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.
Total value of fish imports in US:
Sources of fish imports to US:
解题思路：
本题为动态题，因为描述的是1997-2007年的数据，因此需要使用过去时态。主体段落可分两段分别描述表格和饼图。在饼图部分，可以看到图示为加拿大中国和其他国家，那么在论述时可以将来自中加两国的进口情况进行详细描述，体现出变化趋势。
参考范文：
The table and pie charts give us a clear view on the fish import situation in the US between 1997 and 2007. On the whole, the money US spent on fish imports was increasing. While Canada stood the main supplier of fish to the US, the fish import from China was growing steadily.
As can be seen in the table, the import fish purchase was on a rise. In 1997, the total import value of fish was 7.4 billion dollars, and it went up to 8.5 billion in 2002. Then 2007 saw an increase about 2 billion dollars, with an annual import of 10.4 billion dollars.
Canada remained the largest fish importer to the US during the ten years. However, the proportion it took up shrank a little bit, from 50% in 1997 to about 40% in both 2002 and 2007. On the contrary, China demonstrated a constant growth in this area -- the amount of fish import was almost neck and neck with that of Canada in 2007, despite the relatively low figure of 17% in 1997 and 30% in 2002. Fish import from other countries declined from over 30% to no more than 20 % during the decade.
重点表达：
①stand: v. 处于（某状态）
②annual import: 年度进口量
③shrink: v. 缩减
④neck and neck: 旗鼓相当

A类大作文：
题目：Nowadays, we are said to have a “throw-away society” where we use things for a short time and throw them away. What causes this problem? What effects does the phenomenon lead to?
题型：报告
话题：社会类
解题思路：在回应这道题时，首先要搞明白“throw-away society”这一专有名词词组，其实这个词很好理解，throw-away有“用后就扔的”意思，所以这个词组其实就是“随手扔的社会；抛弃型社会”。根据题目要求，只要分析抛弃型社会形成的原因和产生的影响即可。
参考范文：
Today, we are living in a throwaway culture where almost everything can be thrown away once it is considered to be old or no longer needed, from electronic products to ubiquitous plastic bags. There are various factors contributing to this phenomenon and the effects are mostly negative.
One obvious reason is that the constantly improving living standard enables people to replace something as they want. Since it is human propensity to pursue the new and loathe the old, when a particular thing or service has fulfilled its function, breaks or seems outdated, it is often set aside forthwith to make room for a replacement. It is usually seen that as long as consumers have enough ability to pay for a new thing, no effort is expended to make the old ones functional again or to use them otherwise.
Another reason lies in the rapid advancement of technology which makes it possible for many product makers to produce goods in bulk and drives down the production costs. Under such condition of mass production, the businesses, to improve sales and make more profits, tend to encourage customers to buy the new products by raising the repairing prices of the old ones. As a result, few people will be willing to repair their old products since the maintenance may be more expensive and time-consuming.
Although this practice may be convenient and economical to some degree, its dark sides cannot be overlooked. The direct result of being a throwaway society is an increasing amount of waste in residential zones, which has posed a threat on the environment and societal development. In addition, the mass production will increase depletion of natural resources, and hence the likelihood of ecological destruction.
In conclusion, a throwaway society is the result of the improvement of living standards and the technological development which cater for human desires to update their possessions in a frequent manner. However, we cannot ignore the environmental problems associated with the throwaway society.
重点表达：
①ubiquitous: adj. 到处都是的
②propensity: n. (行为) 倾向
③in bulk: 大批，大量
④mass production: 大量生产
⑤depletion: n. 消耗
