7點40分，重新走進考場，這時離開始時間還有一分鐘，我聽到有幾個同學已在做Speaking部分的題了， 因此也大致了解了將考的口語題的內容。因為口語部分有聽力材料，我重新戴上耳機，仍感到周圍的答題聲干擾比較大，就急中生智，迅速把耳機音量放大-----整個世界清凈多了！口語部分從內容到形式都是No Surprise。 第一題要求Choose an important invention since the 20th century and talk about how it affected your life. 第二題是Discuss if college education is necessary for one’s successful career. 第三題要求先讀一份學校computer lab雇傭student worker政策變化的Statement, 然后是男女兩人的評論對話，要求概括對話主角男生的觀點和他的理由。(To ensure the quality of students working in the computer lab, the new policy requires that only the students taking introductory computer courses can work there. But the male student holds that it does not work. A requirement on the grades is also needed. In addition, a student worker can only deal with some minor issues. When some problems such as computer viruses occur, a professional technician is still necessary. )第四題是關于Political Economy中的“外部性”問題。(“Positive externality” can be simply referred to as a situation in which people without direct dealings with a company benefit from its activities. Sometimes, the government should assist a business company to make “positive externality” possible. For example, a local government may financially assist a bus company to buy new buses causing less air pollution so that the average residents in that area will enjoy cleaner air.) 本題要求應用講座材料解釋 “外部性”的概念。第五題是二人對話。 (The male student tells the female student that he’s often been late for a psychology class whose instructor is his favorite professor because he takes a job on night shift. The female student suggests that he change his job but he does not want to do that because he is well-paid for his current job to cover his daily expenditures. But he has another option which is to switch to a different class with the same course content but a different professor. Which option should the male student take? )第六題的學術講座是關于 photographers’ change of attitudes toward industrialism in the 19th and 20th century. 口語部分的六題都不出學術和校園生活兩方面，但加入了閱讀和聽力的要求，考察的是運用英語的綜合能力。由于準備和答題時間都比較少，平時的針對性強化訓練就顯得重要了。
口語部分很快結束，接下來的是最后一項-寫作部分。第一部分綜合寫作要求概括聽力材料反駁閱讀材料中關于電子眼(speed camera)作用的觀點。 閱讀材料認為Speed Camera 有如下作用：1。Warning people to drive more safely; 2. Freeing police force patrolling the highway so that they can do other work; 3 Making courts’ decision on ticket disputes more easily so as to relieve court congestion. 聽力材料中的Lecturer 逐條反駁了上述觀點。
點評：此題中的讀、聽材料都采取分條敘述方式，條理性較強，破、立點對應關系明確。但要注意不要單純概括Lecture要點，還要分析和解釋它是如何質疑和反駁閱讀材料里的觀點的。如Lecture的第一點是：電子眼的出現(xiàn)會使某些司機玩“老鼠逗貓 ”的游戲，即只在電子眼附近減速，在兩個電子眼之間的路段就超速。但僅概括這些內容還不夠，還要繼續(xù)闡明上述觀點如何有力地質疑了閱讀材料中關于電子眼可以督促司機安全駕駛的觀點。
獨立寫作部分要求討論一個教育問題：Is it more important for a teacher to help students gain self-confidence or to teach them specific knowledge? 題目仍要求Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer
點評：這是一道觀點比較題，因此既要“論”，又要“比”：即如果選A，不僅要論述A的重要，還要說明為什么A比B重要。我選擇了：幫學生獲得自信更重要。理由列了兩條：第一條：A student with high-level self-confidence will study specific knowledge more actively, more wisely and more efficiently. On the contrary, one can hardly find a person who succeeds in a task when he doubts his or her ability. 第二條理由：One may forget most of his or her specific knowledge taught at school, but a trait such as self-confidence formed during the school age may affect and benefit him for his whole life. A teacher is just in the best position to help those young people develop such invaluable traits…….兩篇文章都按時完成，不足的是第二篇余下的檢查時間太少，只有兩分鐘。寫作文時本想拿掉耳機，但剛一取下，只聽得滿屋的敲鍵聲，索性戴著耳機寫到了最后。
