雅思历年真题 1
Birthdays often involve surprises. But this year’s surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. "It’s very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one," said an expert from Britain’s National Portrait Gallery.
The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image—commonly known as the “Flower portrait” —was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare’s death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare’s plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery’s curator(馆长), told the Associated President.
The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.”
Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation(调查) and the results will come out later this month.

雅思历年真题 2
A.
Neoclassical economics is built on the assumption that humans are rational beings who have a clear idea of their best interests and strive to extract maximum benefit (or utility， in economist-speak) from any situation. Neoclassical economics assumes that the process of decision-making is rational. But that contradicts growing evidence that decision-making draws on the emotions—even when reason is clearly involved.
B.
The role of emotions in decisions makes perfect sense. For situations met frequently in the past， such as obtaining food and mates， and confronting or fleeing from threats， the neural mechanisms required to weigh up the pros and cons will have been honed by evolution to produce an optimal outcome. Since emotion is the mechanism by which animals are prodded towards such outcomes， evolutionary and economic theory predict the same practical consequences for utility in these cases. But does this still apply when the ancestral machinery has to respond to the stimuli of urban modernity?
C.
One of the people who thinks that it does not is George Loewenstein， an economist at Carnegie Mellon University， in Pittsburgh. In particular， he suspects that modern shopping has subverted the decision-making machinery in a way that encourages people to run up debt. To prove the point he has teamed up with two psychologists， Brian Knutson of Stanford University and Drazen Prelec of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology， to look at what happens in the brain when it is deciding what to buy.
D.
In a study， the three researchers asked 26 volunteers to decide whether to buy a series of products such as a box of chocolates or a DVD of the television show that were flashed on a computer screen one after another. In each round of the task， the researchers first presented the product and then its price， with each step lasting four seconds. In the final stage， which also lasted four seconds， they asked the volunteers to make up their minds. While the volunteers were taking part in the experiment， the researchers scanned their brains using a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)。 This measures blood flow and oxygen consumption in the brain， as an indication of its activity.
E.
The researchers found that different parts of the brain were involved at different stages of the test. The nucleus accumbens was the most active part when a product was being displayed. Moreover， the level of its activity correlated with the reported desirability of the product in question.
F.
When the price appeared， however， fMRI reported more activity in other parts of the brain. Excessively high prices increased activity in the insular cortex， a brain region linked to expectations of pain， monetary loss and the viewing of upsetting pictures. The researchers also found greater activity in this region of the brain when the subject decided not to purchase an item.
G.
Price information activated the medial prefrontal cortex， too. This part of the brain is involved in rational calculation. In the experiment its activity seemed to correlate with a volunteer’s reaction to both product and price， rather than to price alone. Thus， the sense of a good bargain evoked higher activity levels in the medial prefrontal cortex， and this often preceded a decision to buy.
H.
People’s shopping behaviour therefore seems to have piggy-backed on old neural circuits evolved for anticipation of reward and the avoidance of hazards. What Dr Loewenstein found interesting was the separation of the assessment of the product (which seems to be associated with the nucleus accumbens) from the assessment of its price (associated with the insular cortex)， even though the two are then synthesised in the prefrontal cortex. His hypothesis is that rather than weighing the present good against future alternatives， as orthodox economics suggests happens， people actually balance the immediate pleasure of the prospective possession of a product with the immediate pain of paying for it.
I.
That makes perfect sense as an evolved mechanism for trading. If one useful object is being traded for another (hard cash in modern time)， the future utility of what is being given up is embedded in the object being traded. Emotion is as capable of assigning such a value as reason. Buying on credit， though， may be different. The abstract nature of credit cards， coupled with the deferment of payment that they promise， may modulate the con side of the calculation in favour of the pro。
J.
Whether it actually does so will be the subject of further experiments that the three researchers are now designing. These will test whether people with distinctly different spending behaviour， such as miserliness and extravagance， experience different amounts of pain in response to prices. They will also assess whether， in the same individuals， buying with credit cards eases the pain compared with paying by cash. If they find that it does， then credit cards may have to join the list of things such as fatty and sugary foods， and recreational drugs， that subvert human instincts in ways that seem pleasurable at the time but can have a long and malign aftertaste.

雅思历年真题 3
1. The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels. But many researchers remain confident that drugs to boost levels of ’good’ cholesterol are still one of the most promising means to combat spiralling heart disease.
2. Drug company Pfizer announced on 2 December that it was cancelling all clinical trials of torcetrapib， a drug designed to raise heart-protective high-density lipoproteins (HDLs)。 In a trial of 15000 patients， a safety board found that more people died or suffered cardiovascular problems after taking the drug plus a cholesterol-lowering statin than those in a control group who took the statin alone.
3. The news came as a kick in the teeth to many cardiologists because earlier tests in animals and people suggested it would lower rates of cardiovascular disease. There have been no red flags to my knowledge， says John Chapman， a specialist in lipoproteins and atherosclerosis at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Paris who has also studied torcetrapib. This cancellation came as a complete shock.
4. Torcetrapib is one of the most advanced of a new breed of drugs designed to raise levels of HDLs， which ferry cholesterol out of artery-clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body. Specifically， torcetrapib blocks a protein called cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP)， which normally transfers the cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins to low density， plaque-promoting ones. Statins， in contrast， mainly work by lowering the ’bad’ low-density lipoproteins.
Under pressure
5. Researchers are now trying to work out why and how the drug backfired， something that will not become clear until the clinical details are released by Pfizer. One hint lies in evidence from earlier trials that it slightly raises blood pressure in some patients. It was thought that this mild problem would be offset by the heart benefits of the drug. But it is possible that it actually proved fatal in some patients who already suffered high blood pressure. If blood pressure is the explanation， it would actually be good news for drug developers because it suggests that the problems are specific to this compound. Other prototype drugs that are being developed to block CETP work in a slightly different way and might not suffer the same downfall.
6. But it is also possible that the whole idea of blocking CETP is flawed， says Moti Kashyap， who directs atherosclerosis research at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach， California. When HDLs excrete cholesterol in the liver， they actually rely on LDLs for part of this process. So inhibiting CETP， which prevents the transfer of cholesterol from HDL to LDL， might actually cause an abnormal and irreversible accumulation of cholesterol in the body. You’re blocking a physiologic mechanism to eliminate cholesterol and effectively constipating the pathway， says Kashyap.
Going up
7. Most researchers remain confident that elevating high density lipoproteins levels by one means or another is one of the best routes for helping heart disease patients. But HDLs are complex and not entirely understood. One approved drug， called niacin， is known to both raise HDL and reduce cardiovascular risk but also causes an unpleasant sensation of heat and tingling. Researchers are exploring whether they can bypass this side effect and whether niacin can lower disease risk more than statins alone. Scientists are also working on several other means to bump up high-density lipoproteins by， for example， introducing synthetic HDLs. The only thing we know is dead in the water is torcetrapib， not the whole idea of raising HDL， says Michael Miller， director of preventive cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center， Baltimore.

Task：The diagrams below show the amount of energy lost in 100 units when it is generated from black coal and when it is generated from brown coal.
Sample answer：
The diagrams present how 100 units of energy lost when it is produced from black coal and brown coal.
It can be seen from the first diagram that in the beginning black coal that can generate 100 units of energy is transported to the power station where electricity is produced. During the process, 68 units is lost so only 32 units of energy remains. Before consumers get the energy from black coal, the loss of another 3 units occurs as it is distributed and transmitted.
Referring to brown coal, when it is used in the electricity generation, more units was lost (73 units) while the amount of energy lose in the stage of distribution and transmission is the same as that in black coal. Finally, the remaining 24 units of energy is gained by people.
In conclusion, it is noticeable that less energy can be available for consumers if brown coal is applied to generate electricity.

Some people think that the best way to improve road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving a car or motorbike. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
参考范文
In recent years, the issue of road safety has become a matter of great concern. Some individuals advocate that raising the minimum legal age for driving is the most effective measure to enhance road safety. While this proposal may have certain merits, I do not believe it is the ultimate solution.
On the one hand, increasing the minimum driving age can potentially lead to a reduction in traffic accidents involving young and inexperienced drivers. Young people are generally more impulsive and less likely to fully understand the consequences of their actions. By delaying their access to driving privileges, they may have more time to mature and gain a better understanding of traffic regulations and safety precautions. For example, in some countries where the driving age has been raised, there has been a slight decrease in the number of accidents caused by teenage drivers.
On the other hand, simply relying on increasing the driving age is insufficient. There are numerous other factors that contribute to road safety. Firstly, improving driver education and training programs is crucial. This should include not only theoretical knowledge of traffic laws but also practical skills such as defensive driving and hazard perception. Secondly, stricter enforcement of traffic laws is essential. Penalties for speeding, drunk driving, and using mobile phones while driving should be more severe to act as a deterrent. Thirdly, better road infrastructure and vehicle safety features also play a significant role. Well-designed roads with clear signage and proper lighting can help prevent accidents, and modern vehicles equipped with advanced safety technologies like anti-lock braking systems and airbags can protect drivers and passengers in the event of a collision.
In conclusion, while increasing the minimum legal age for driving may have some positive effects on road safety, it is not the panacea. A comprehensive approach that combines driver education, law enforcement, and infrastructure improvement is needed to truly address the complex issue of road safety and ensure the well-being of all road users.

Do you often chat with friends?
Answer: Yes, I engage in conversations with friends regularly, using both online messaging platforms and face-to-face interactions. Im a pretty social person, so I enjoy chatting about life, exchanging ideas with friends, and also listening to their problems when they feel down.
Do you prefer to chat online or face to face?
Answer: My preference for chatting—whether online or in person—depends on the context and convenience. In an ideal world, I prefer face-to-face communication. I enjoy hanging out with friends in coffee shops, over meals in a restaurant, or in bars. So, yes, Id say I prefer face-to-face communication if there is the time and opportunity.
Do you prefer group chats or individual chats?
Answer: For individual discussions, I prefer one-on-one conversations, while group chats are more suitable for organizing events and gatherings. As I said, Im pretty social, so I do enjoy both, but I think I lean more towards one-on-one chats. I like to listen and feel that people are more genuine when not in groups.
What will you do if you have a disagreement with others?
Answer: In disagreements, I aim for a constructive dialogue, seeking compromises and common ground to resolve issues amicably. Last week I had a disagreement with a friend, and I ended up not saying much in the end, and waited a day or two until she felt calmer, and then we talked again and the issue was easier to resolve. Patience and acceptance of diverse opinions is key to conflict resolution, I find.

Describe a trip you took
Answer: I would like to tell you about an unforgettable trip I took to Thailand last year. I went there with my best friend. We spent a week in Bangkok and then another week in Phuket. In Bangkok, we visited many famous temples like the Grand Palace. The architecture was so magnificent and intricate that it left me in awe. We also tried a lot of delicious street food there, such as mango sticky rice and pad thai. In Phuket, we enjoyed the beautiful beaches and went snorkeling in the clear blue sea. It was an amazing experience to see the colorful coral reefs and various kinds of fish up close. This trip was really meaningful to me as it not only allowed me to relax and get away from the daily routine but also broadened my horizons and let me experience different cultures.
Describe a book you read in childhood
Answer: One of the books I read in childhood that I really liked was "Alices Adventures in Wonderland". I remember being completely captivated by the strange and wonderful world that Lewis Carroll created. The story follows Alice as she falls down a rabbit hole into a magical realm where she meets all sorts of interesting characters like the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts. I was fascinated by the vivid descriptions of the settings and the adventures Alice had. It sparked my imagination and made me want to explore more fictional worlds. I must have read that book several times, and each time I discovered something new and exciting in it. It really had a profound impact on my love for reading and storytelling.
