2014年6月28，希望对各位考生的备考有所帮助，祝每位烤鸭考试顺利，都能取得好成绩！
Task 1: What kind of strategy do you use to handle an overwhelming amount of work.
Sample
I think making a plan ahead of time and sticking to it is the way to go. For example, I did a twenty-page paper for my history class last semester. I was pretty concerned about not being able to handle it so I sat down and made a plan before starting the project. The plan was to start the whole thing by going to the library so that I have all the right books and material for my research, and then try to finish the first draft within two week. After that I’d show it to my professor for feedbacks and suggestions on how to improve it. I followed this plan and everything worked out pretty well at the end.
Task 2: Some people prefer to do take a vacation in cities, others prefer to spend their vocation in countryside. Which do you prefer? Explain why.
Sample
I prefer to spend my vocation in cities for the following reasons. First, there’re so much more to do in a city comparing to being in the countryside. In a city, I’ll never run out of fun activities to do. For example, I can visit museums and watch movies or shop. The things we get to do in the countryside are pretty limited. Second, I don’t drive, so it’s easier for me to get around in a city because there are buses and subways lines, even taxi services. In a city like Beijing, it’s very convenient to ride the subway which makes it possible for me to visit three to four places in a day.
Task 3
阅读：图书馆的furniture旧了，要换新的。因为舒服，而且可以吸引更多人来图书馆。
听力：女生不同意，因为(1) 沙发软容易犯困，学生无法集中经历;(2) 现在很多人用电脑，但是电源插头不够，所以学校应该把钱花在买电源插头上。
Reading: The school plans to buy new furniture for the library, because it will be more comfortable, and more people will come to study here.
Listening:
The woman disagrees with the plan, because first, new couches will be very comfortable, so students might be very sleepy sitting there and cannot concentrate on their study. Second, the school should use the money to buy more electric outlets, because there’re not enough outlets in the library for students to plug in the laptop computers.
Task 4
教授给儿子买积木。儿子第一次玩儿stack a tower，积木fell down so he called his father for help。儿子每天玩儿搭积木，每次积木倒了都会叫爸爸帮忙。教授会每天故意等一会儿再去帮忙，儿子在等他的时间里便学会了搭积木。
The professor bought blocks for his son. The first time when he stacked a tower, the blocks fell down and he called Dad for help. Then he played every day, so every time the blocks fell down, he would call his father for help. Then the professor tried to stay a little longer day-by-day before he went to help. Eventually the son learned how to stack a tower while waiting for his dad.
Task 5
问题是女生在图书馆写历史论文被人打扰。解决方案一：报告给图书管理员，但怕被状告的人生气，自己不想找麻烦。解决方案二：换地方。但是她所在的区域有所需书籍，如果换地方，搬书会很麻烦。
Problem: The woman is writing a history paper in the library, but someone is very loud, and she can’t concentrate on her paper.
Solution 1: To report it to the librarian. But she’s worried the person might be mad and she doesn’t want to get herself in trouble.
Solution 2: To go to another section. But this section has the books she needs to read, and it’s a lot of trouble carrying them to another section.
Task 6
用dinner为例阐述两种theater对观众的不同。在theater里，一种是演员表现的观众不存在，比如在吃饭，就认认真真地吃饭，和下面没交流。一种是是演员意识到观众的存在，比如在吃饭，演员可能问下面观众饭闻起来香不香? 甚至邀请观众加入他们。
Two ways theater treats audience.
The first is to ignore them. For example, when the actors are eating, they pretend the audience doesn’t exist, so there is no interaction between them and audience.
The second is to get the audience involved. For example, when actors the eating, they might ask the audience if the food smells good, or even invite the audience to join in.
