本场雅思听力考试难度略难，考察的题型都是比较高频出现的，P1、P4填空题要填的词汇不算难，都是一些基础词汇。P1考察的是咨询场景，报名也是比较高频的场景，平时要加强高频场景词汇的练习。本篇重点考察数字、生词拼写及简单的单词，数字相关的信息本身也是信息类填空的重点，平时练习的时候就要保证正确率。除此以外，也考察了场景词汇，所以备考时也一定要加强词汇积累。P2考察的是机场介绍，也很符合第二部分考察的重点，题型是配对+地图，在第二部分出现填空题的概率平时较小，本月出现地图题的频率较高。P3多选题和搭配的组合也是比较常规的，内容是登月、火星工具讨论，场景属于较冷门的话题，平时可以多加注意。P4讨论的是动物，动物类的话题在第四部分很常见，整体考察词汇不难，题材也是比较常规的，涉及到相关词汇，在学术场景也是比较高频的。

本场考试需注意“选择+搭配”的题型组合，P2和P3都是考察这种形式，平时要加强练习。参考剑桥练习：剑8Test3 Section3;剑10Test2 Section2;剑10Test3 Section3雅思听力

备注：本场考试填空选择比例目测是20：20。题型方面，P1 10道填空题，题目不难，主要考察活动报名，对于报班，课程咨询等都需要平时积累高频场景词汇;P2地图+搭配，考察的是机场介绍，对于人文场景要重视，比如建筑物的升级改造及介绍，平时要多精听P3多选+搭配，这样的组合题一定要多练习，语速快的题可以用来适应考试，听力考试增加难度也会通过提速，第三部分通常就是语速最快的一部分，所以非常适合练习精听。P4考察笔记填空，本场考察的词汇都是常规词汇，也和考察场景相关，动物、发展史和农业场景及其应用考生可以多做练习，平时多积累同义替换，注意语序颠倒的考点。

考试建议

1.场景方面：场景方面依然是主流场景(咨询、旅游生活场景、课程讨论、学科探讨和讲座)，在接下来的考试中，考生还应将重点放在P1咨询，租房，求职，P2旅游，活动及公共场所设施介绍，P3课程讨论及论文写作，P4各类学科探讨和讲座。

2.题型：本次考试题型设置较常规。P1,P4填空为主;P2,P3单选/多选和配对为主。

3.机经：如需参考机经，以2016-2020年机经为主。

Passage 1：Animal minds:Parrot Alex

判断题+摘要填空+简答

文章还原：

A.In 1977 Irene Pepperberg,a recent graduate of Harvard University did something very bold.At a time when animals still were considered automatons,she set out to find what was on another creature’s mind by talking to it.She brought a one-year-old African grey parrot she named Alex into her lab to teach him to reproduce the sounds of the English language.“I thought if he learned to communicate,I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”

B.When Pepperberg began her dialogue with Alex,who died last September at the age of 31,many scientists believed animals were incapable of any thought.They were simply machines,robots programmed to react to stimuli but lacking the ability to think or feel.Any pet owner would disagree.We see the love in our dogs’eyes and know that,of course,they have thoughts and emotions.But such claims remain highly controversial.Gut instinct is not science,and it is all too easy to project human thoughts and feelings onto another creature.How,then,does a scientist prove that an animal is capable of thinking–that it can acquire information about the world and act on it?“That’s why I started my studies with Alex,”Pepperberg said.They were seated–she at her desk,he on top of his cage–in her lab,a windowless room about the size of a boxcar,at Brandeis University.Newspapers lined the floor;baskets of bright toys were stacked on the shelves.They were a team–and because of their work,the notion that animals can think is no longer so fanciful.

C.Certain skills are considered key signs of higher mental abilities:good memory,a grasp of grammar and symbols,self-awareness,understanding others’motives,imitating others,and being creative.Bit by bit,in ingenious experiments,researchers have documented these talents in other species,gradually chipping away at what we thought made human beings distinctive while offering a glimpse of where our own abilities came from.Scrub jays know that other jays are thieves and that stashed food can spoil;sheep can recognize faces;chimpanzees use a variety of tools to probe termite mounds and even use weapons to hunt small mammals;dolphins can imitate human postures;the archerfish,which stuns insects with a sudden blast of water,can learn how to aim its squirt simply by watching an experienced fish perform the task and Alex the parrot turned out to be a surprisingly good talker.

D.Thirty years after the Alex studies began;Pepperberg and a changing collection of assistants were still giving him English lessons.The humans,along with two younger parrots,also served as Alex’s flock,providing the social input all parrots crave.Like any flock,this one–as small as it was–had its share of drama.Alex dominated his fellow parrots,acted huffy at times around Pepperberg,tolerated the other female humans,and fell to pieces over a male assistant who dropped by for a visit.Pepperberg bought Alex in a Chicago pet store where she let the store’s assistant pick him out because she didn’t want other scientists saying later that she’d particularly chosen an especially smart bird for her work.Given that Alex’s brain was the size of a shelled walnut,most researchers thought Pepperberg’s interspecies communication study would be futile.

E.“Some people actually called me crazy for trying this,”she said.“Scientists thought that chimpanzees were better subjects,although,of course,chimps can’t speak.”Chimpanzees,bonobos,and gorillas have been taught to use sign language and symbols to communicate with us,often with impressive results.The bonobo Kanzi,for instance,carries his symbol-communication board with him so he can“talk”to his human researchers,and he has invented combinations of symbols to express his thoughts.Nevertheless,this is not the same thing as having an animal look up at you,open his mouth,and speak.Under Pepperberg’s patient tutelage,Alex learned how to use his vocal tract to imitate almost one hundred English words,including the sounds for various foods,although he calls an apple a“beanery.”“Apples taste a little bit like bananas to him,and they look a little bit like cherries,Alex made up that word for them,”Pepperberg said.

F.It sounded a bit mad,the idea of a bird having lessons to practice,and willingly doing it.But after listening to and observing Alex,it was difficult to argue with Pepperberg’s explanation for his behaviours.She wasn’t handing him treats for the repetitious work or rapping him on the claws to make him say the sounds.“He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly imitate them,”Pepperberg said,after pronouncing“seven”for Alex a good dozen times in a row.“I’m not trying to see if Alex can learn a human language,”she added.“That’s never been the point.My plan always was to use his imitative skills to get a better understanding of avian cognition.”

G.In other words,because Alex was able to produce a close approximation of the sounds of some English words,Pepperberg could ask him questions about a bird’s basic understanding of the world.She couldn’t ask him what he was thinking about,but she could ask him about his knowledge of numbers,shapes,and colours.To demonstrate,Pepperberg carried Alex on her arm to a tall wooden perch in the middle of the room.She then retrieved a green key and a small green cup from a basket on a shelf.She held up the two items to Alex’s eye.“What’s the same?”she asked.Without hesitation,Alex’s beak opened:“Color.”“What’s different?”Pepperberg asked.“Shape,”Alex said.His voice had the digitized sound of a cartoon character.Since parrots lack lips(another reason it was difficult for Alex to pronounce some sounds,such as ba),the words seemed to come from the air around him,as if a ventriloquist were speaking.But the words–and what can only be called the thoughts–were entirely his.

H.For the next 20 minutes,Alex ran through his tests,distinguishing colours,shapes,sizes,and materials(wool versus wood versus metal).He did some simple arithmetic,such as counting the yellow toy blocks among a pile of mixed hues.And,then,as if to offer final proof of the mind inside his bird’s brain,Alex spoke up.“Talk clearly!”he commanded,when one of the younger birds Pepperberg was also teaching talked with wrong pronunciation.“Talk clearly!”“Don’t be a smart aleck,”Pepperberg said,shaking her head at him.“He knows all this,and he gets bored,so he interrupts the others,or he gives the wrong answer just to be obstinate.At this stage,he’s like a teenager;he’s moody,and I’m never sure what he’ll do.”

Passage 3：摩斯电码Morse Code

题型：list of heading8题+判断

Morse code ii being replaced by a new satellite-based system for sending distress calk at sea.Its dots and dashes have had a good run for their money.

A"Calling all.This is our last try before our eternal silence."Surprisingly this message,which flashed over the airwaves in the docs and dashes of Morse code on January 31sr 1997,was not a desperate transmission by a radio operator on a sinking ship.Rather,it was a message signalling the end of the use of Morse code for distress calls in French waters.Since 1992 countries around the world have been decommissioning their Morse equipment with similar(if less poetic)signoffs,as the world's shipping switches over to a new satellite-based arrangement,the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.The final deadline for the switch-over to GMDSS is February 1st a date that is widely seen as the end of an era.

B The code has,however,had a good history.Appropriately for a technology commonly associated with radio operators on sinking ships,the idea of Morse code is said to have occurred to Samuel Morse while he was on board a ship crossing the Atlantic.At the time Morse was a painter and occasional inventor,but when another of the ships passengers informed him of recent advances in electrical theory,Morse was suddenly taken with the idea of building an electric telegraph to send messages in codes.Other inventors had been trying to do just chat for the best part of a century.Morse succeeded and is now remembered as"the father of the telegraph"partly thanks to his single-mindedness-it was 12 years,for example,before he secured money from Congress to build his first telegraph line—but also for technical reasons.

C Compared with rival electric telegraph designs,such as the needle telegraph developed by William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone in Britain,Morses design was very simple:it required little more than a Mkey"(essentially,a spring-loaded switch)to send messages,a clicking"sounder"to receive them,and a wire to link the two.But although Morse’s hardware was simple,there was a catch:in order to use his equipment,operators had to learn the special code of dots and clashes chat still bears his name.Originally,Morse had not intended co use combinations of docs and dashes co represent individual letters.His first code,sketched in his notebook during that transatlantic voyage,used dots and clashes to represent the digits 0 to 9.Morse’s idea was that messages would consist of strings of numbers corresponding to words and phrases in a special numbered dictionary.But Morse later abandoned this scheme and,with the help of an associate,Alfred Vail,devised the Morse alphabet,which could be used to spell out messages a letter at a time in dots and clashes.

D At first,the need to learn this complicated-looking code made Morses telegraph seem impossibly tricky compared with other,more user-friendly designs.Cookes and Wheatstones telegraph,for example,used five needles to pick out letters on a diamond-shaped grid.But although this meant that anyone could use it,it also required five wires between telegraph stations.Morse’s telegraph needed only one.And some people,it soon transpired,had a natural facility for Morse code.

从话题上来说，属于社会类话题，考生可以运用平时对此话题的积累加以论证。

从类型上来说，讨论双方观点的议论文

可以采取四段式的写法：

第一段：题目改写+个人观点。

第二段：获取信息确实更加容易，使得图书馆不再意义重大。

第三段：但是，图书馆作为一种重要获取信息的方式，有它的特殊优势。

第四段：总结段-重申个人观点。

题目思路：

主体段1:获取信息确实更加容易，使得图书馆不再意义重大。

1.现代人获取信息可以轻松的使用现代科技，比如网络搜索的方式。这样的方式可以获得海量的信息，同时搜索的快捷性也远远优于在图书馆寻找书籍。2.其次，即使需要专业的书籍作为信息来源，电子书也完全可以替代纸质书籍获取知识的作用。可以在任何场所，只要通过网络下载电子书，就可以更加方便的阅读与学习，比亲自去图书馆学习方便很多。雅思写作

主体段2:但是，图书馆作为一种重要获取信息的方式，有它的特殊优势。

1.但是，这并不意味着图书管可以完全被网络替代，没有存在的意义首先，图书馆阅读有着网络阅读不可替代的优势。从长期来看，图书馆的书籍可以无限量的借阅，包括一些价格昂贵的书籍，只要读者喜欢阅读;但是，对于购买电子书阅读来说，长期来看，这无疑是一笔昂贵的费用。2.其次，在图书馆中阅读可以给读者带来安静的氛围和无可比拟的专注度。因为，在馆内，所有人都是认真的读书，并且没有任何电子设备，比如手机，游戏等的干扰，大家更容易沉浸在书籍的内容中，更能够体会读书的乐趣。

考试建议

1.小作文：重点关注表格、柱图、饼图

2.大作文：重点关注科技、政府、教育话题。

3.重点浏览2018年写作机经，可借助《高分范文书》第8版经典旧题来复习。

老师点评

Part1:

Part1部分的话题，整体难度都不算大，但是考生们也需要特别重视，因为在考试刚开始进行时就要努力给考官留下一个好的印象，为后面的冲刺高分打牢基础。Part1切忌一问一答，每道题需要三句话左右的答题任务量。

Part2：

Part2整体备考量相对来说会较大，这个季度总共有50道话题，大家在备考期间可以进行合理的素材整合，合并话题。但同时也需要注意话题合并的合理性，切忌生硬搬套，被考官判为偏题。

考试建议

经过一月的换题季，2月的考试题目已经非常稳定，但因为疫情的大环境影响，不少同学的考试都被迫取消，但是希望同学们不要抱着考试可能会被取消的侥幸心理消极复习，一定要按照题库话题积极准备，不打无准备之仗。
