Sitting on the Pacific coast, it gives you a feeling of the sea. The sea breezes wake you up and make you eat well and sleep well. The city was planned with straight roads, and these roads cross each other at right angles, making squares as they do in many American cities. Very often you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, looking down one of these straight roads as it rises and falls on its journey through the town. A good way to travel these roads is by cable car. These are buses that run on rails in the ground up and down the steep hills. 三、 简短问答 Question and AnswerQuestion 1: what would many people think of San Francisco according to the passage? (20 seconds)Question 2: which city in China do you like most? And why? (response time: 20 seconds)四、 个人陈述Individual presentation: (preparation time” 45 seconds; response time: 1 min)看图说话：古树禁止登攀。答题思路：图片所传达的核心问题是旅游中的不文明行为我们可以围绕这一核心问题，从以下3个方面展开陈述：（1） 描述图片，点明问题首先要从整体上概括图片所呈现的核心问题，即旅游中的不文明行为。As the cartoon has described, some tourists behave in uncivilized ways.接着，进一步描述图片的具体内容。本题图片展示了人们的两种不文明行为，一是在名胜古迹上刻字，二是在照相时破坏古树。Some people carve their names onto scenic spots, and some people even climb the ancient trees to take photos disregarding the “No Climbing” notice.（2） 分析影响首先，可以先从整体上概括这一问题带来的影响。This phenomenon is becoming is a real embarrassment for all of us.下面，具体阐述其影响，一般两点即可。比如，一方面，旅游中的不文明行为与中国经济发展的步伐不相适应，显得缺乏教养。For one thing, when we are developing tourism for the national economy, such behaviors seem quite undeveloped and uneducated. 两点影响之间最好采用递进的逻辑关系， 第二点影响更为严重，即中国游客的不文明行为有损中国的国际形象。Whats more, more and more reports about Chinese tourists uncivilized behaviors have appeared in foreign media. Complaints about Chinese tourists bad manners are increasing in some foreign countries. As a result, Chinas international image has been seriously affected. （3） 提出解决办法最后必须提出解决问题的建议，可以从教育，监管等方面进行考虑。To solve the problem properly, I think the government should play a role in education and regulation. Public manners in tourism should be given higher priority in school education, and legal devices can also be sued to regulate peoples uncivilized behaviors in tourism.范文： As the cartoon has described, some tourists behave in uncivilized ways.

In comparison with Western medicine, the Chinese method takes a far different approach. The doctors of traditional Chinese medicine believe that the human bodys life is the result of the balance of yin and yang. Yin is the inner and negative principles, and yang, the outer and positive. The key reason why there is sickness is because the two aspects lose their harmony. Seen from the recovery mechanism of organs, yang functions to protect from outer harm, and yin is the inner base to store and provide energy for its counterpart. Today, though western medicine has been adopted, traditional treatments are still playing an important role and have raised great attention and interest. 三、简短问答 Question and AnswerQuestion 1: How could people recover from illness, according to the traditional Chinese medicine?Question 2: What do you think is a healthy lifestyle?四、小组互动（pair work）Suppose you plan to lose some weight.

Thats probably because theres a generational gap of experience. Because theyre older, or younger, it seems you share no common ground. Actually, each generation, when interacting with each other, has a wealth of information to pass on to the others. For instance, older generations can offer great life experience and general knowledge about society to younger generations, while younger generations can update the older generations with current fashion and technology trends. This is, of course, not always the case: sometimes the older people can be very familiar with current trends while the young people can be fascinated by old music and culture. 三、简短问答 Question and AnswerQuestion 1: When do you feel bothered by the generation gap?Question 2: Which is the best way to bridge the generation gap?四、小组互动（pair work）Suppose you are going to conduct a research about the generation gap.

In 1800, the only practical way to travel and trade across long distances was along the nations natural waterways. One hundred years later, railroads sped along thousands of miles of track. Large ships moved passengers and freight across the oceans and smaller boats plied the nations rivers, lakes and canals. Bicycles, carriages and wagons rolled over thousands of miles of roads. One of the fastest growing of these young cities was Chicago. By 1900, the city was an economic powerhouse with over 1.6 million residents. Located at the intersection of river, lake and railroad routes, Chicagos industrial, manufacturing and commercial life depended on the boats and trains traveling into and out of the city.三、简短问答 Question and AnswerQuestion 1: What happened to transportation in the US between 1800 and 1900?Question 2: What is your favorite type of transportation?四、小组互动（pair work）Suppose you are taking an airplane for the first time.

As the defects that exist in the current college English education system are open to more criticism. On the one hand, the curriculum adopted by English education system is exam-oriented. Under this curriculum, students focus more on test scores and test-taking tips instead of improving their English skills. Therefore, their English competence is not satisfactory. On the other hand, the current curriculum only offers general English course, while college students need more training in specialized English. For example, English for academic purpose. As a result, many students find they are not able to use English well under certain circumstances, such as writing thesis, and taking interviews for positions in foreign companies. Now education authorities rolled out a series of reforms targeting college English courses in 2013.
