听力部分
今天的听力考试各部分的场景和题型还是比较常规的，关键是积累考题背景、用词搭配以及考点。各位参加考试的同学们可以参考以下回忆内容。
Part 1 家里漏水，保险理赔
Part1为旧题，其中数字和字母，星期等的考点已经是老生常谈了。今天相对较难的拼写词汇是pipe(根据拼读可以猜拼)是管道的意思。类似的理赔篇目可以参考《九分达人雅思听力真题还原及解析1》T3P1“returning the rice cooker”和剑桥雅思真题8T2P1等，关注常规的问题：保单号，投保人个人信息，历次保修经历，此次保修的细节，赔偿等。
Part2 关于一个winter festival日的商业活动
题型：多选+单选
暂时缺失
Part3 关于次当老师的注意事项
暂时缺失
Part4 非洲游牧民族介绍
《新航道雅思听力速递机经》P1P4 第165篇
本篇常规十个填空题。除了其中seasonal nomadic 是季节游牧，descendants子孙后代，veil面纱等卷面难词之外，填空处多个空格是两个单词：olive oil， grass leaves， dark blue也是造成失分的地方。如果缺少必要信息是非常可惜的。

备考tips：
今天我们分享一道新季度出现的题目：修理
Fixing things
Can you fix things？
Did anybody teach you to fix things when you were a child？
Do you think it is necessary for people to learn to fix things？
What do you do when a thing is broken and cannot be fixed？
这个主题是修理，也就是让我们聊动手能力的，把坏的东西给修补好了。一般来说，修理的都是日常小东西，比如闹钟啊，键盘啊，袜子啊，拉链啊甚至是一些家庭用品，马桶，洗碗机，扫地机器人等等。
常见的修理动作，包括了找到哪里坏了identify the problem area，填充refuel (这个坏了的东西)with sth 燃料，替换replace (零部件)，twist 旋转线一类的材料，tape 贴上胶布，清理干净clean/remove debris（dust） 等等。
常见的修理工具，例如剪刀scissors， 钳子pliers， 螺丝刀 screwdriver， 扳手 wrench， 卷尺 tape measure， 锤子 hammer，钉子 nails， screws， 铲子file ，针needle 等等。
当然也可以不修，直接扔了买新的或者找维修店来修，也是没问题的。
把这些细节补充说明清楚，大家多多练习，相信就一定是可以的！
写作部分
小作文：
线图+表格。线图是平均工作时长，各时间段比较； 表格是带薪休假的平均天数。
The line charts shows the total number of people with different average working hours， and the table presents how the number of paid holidays changed by year from 1998 to 2004.
The average number of paid holidays by year
好久不见的组合图，所以两段内容不一样的情况下，大概一幅图写一段就可以啦。但是要关注这两幅图之间的关联性，即随着over 45 h 的人数下降，人均paid holiday的人数在总体上升。
大作文：
Some people think more public money should be spent on roads and motorways than on public transport systems. To what extent do you agree or disagree？
有些人认为应该在道路和高速公路上花费更多的公共资金，而不是用于公共交通系统。你在多大程度上同意或不同意这种观点？
对于这道题和上周的题目如出一辙，都是比较简单的should 题型，所以还是就这一件事的利弊开始讲。正方观点推荐：可以讲提升交通效率，减少通勤的时间；反方观点：可以从环保出发。
主旨句推荐如下：
Body 1： Proponents of this viewpoint contend that well-maintained road networks can reduce travel times， increase connectivity， and enhance the overall efficiency of transportation.
Body 2： however， allocating more funds to public transport systems holds significant benefits， particularly in terms of sustainability and reduced environmental impact，according to some.
阅读部分
考生公认是没有C18后两套题来得难度大，有点波折的也就是第三篇文章，但阅读分数要求是6.5及以下的同学稳定发挥前两篇也能达标了，所以不用太有压力。
Passage 1：Pepper 辣椒
首次出现：2023.8.19
类别：农业
难度：★
题型配比：判断7+填空6
参考答案：判断-1 F 2 T 3 F 4 NG 5 F 6 NG 7 T
填空：
8. refrigeration
9. sweat
10. recipes
11. metabolism
12. stomach
13. exercise
分析：Passage 1的经济作物家族又添新成员（真的别再考咖啡了，考麻了都……）。作为一篇Passage 1，行文脉络清晰，题型搭配友好。需要注意的就是农业类的文章考生们在真题中可能比较少见（但其实C18的篇文章就是，近几年的比重还是有提升的），在备考的时候要注意关注。
Passage 2：通过卫星航拍观察城市发展（夜间灯光）
首次出现：2019.8.17
类别：社会
难度：★★
题型配比：Heading7+特殊词匹配3+填空3
参考答案：List of Headings-14 v 15 viii 16 vii 17 i 18 iii 19 vi 20 ii
特殊词匹配 – 21 C；22 B；23 A
原词填空：
24 goldfish；25 cattle；26 technology；
分析：2019年的次新题，8月的次出现Heading，也不知道今年的配题老师和多选有什么深仇大恨，就是猛考特殊词匹配怎么也不出多选。内容上来说的话，是通过卫星来观察城市的夜间灯光，从而考察和城市经济之间的关系。一般来讲，夜间灯光照明变化能明确反映出城市规模扩展和经济繁荣状况。 夜晚灯光越明亮的地区，说明经济越发达，社会公用设施先进，人民富裕，有充足的时间和便利条件进行娱乐活动和夜生活。 反之，晚上越黑暗，说明经济越落后，社会公用设施欠发达，人民生活水平比较低，夜晚娱乐活动比较缺乏。
Passage 3：Children’s literature studies today 儿童文学
首次出现：2011.10.29
类别：文学
难度：★★★
题型配比：单选4（3+1）+判断5+句首配句尾5
参考答案：细节单选 – 27 A；28 C；29 B
Y/N/NG判断 – 30 N；31 N；32 NG；33 Y；34 NG
句首配句尾 – 35 F；36 C；37 H；38 A；39 E
主旨单选 – 40 C
分析：这篇文章是考生们公认的难，再加上同学们到最后一篇文章的时候往往时间不足，那更是难上加难。不过接下来要考试的同学们需要注意了，8月份连考了三场句首配句尾，最后一场怎么也得是选词填空了吧？
