　　Yesterday， I was sitting by the window of my house above the bay， watching different groups of tourists stop to take photos.
They headed to the top of the hill to take photos of the coast — most likely to share them on social media. The members of the group usually stood with their backs to the bay with big smiles on their faces as if to say，“Look at us： we are here， and you are not.”
What surprised me was this： Of all the people I saw， only a few actually seemed to be “present”. Most seemed content to take a shot and get back on the road.
There were exceptions， however. Four or five young couples arrived throughout the day and， after taking the usual photos， spent quite a lot of time gazing （凝視）， not at the view， but into each other’s eyes. I had no problem with that. Also， an older couple sat on a bench holding hands， studying the horizon （地平線）.
My favourite exception was a boy， who looked about 7. He stood alone on a rock with his arms stretched wide and stared out at the ocean， possibly imagining all his wildest dreams coming true. A woman， maybe his mother， made him join her for a photo. Then， he went back to staring until it was time to go.
Most of us spend a lot of time looking at electronic screens， seeing the world on tiny displays. These small screens help us stay connected to the people we love， but they can also make us miss things that are important.
I’m not saying we’re supposed to forsake these screens completely — how else would we keep in touch？ But sometimes， it’s such a pleasure to set them aside and stand like a child by the ocean， with eyes， arms and heart wide open. Indeed， there’s a name for that kind of pleasure — it’s called being alive.
24.What surprised the author when he was looking out？
A.Many tourists were taking pictures.
B.Few tourists were enjoying the scenery.
C.Some couples were gazing at each other.
D.An old couple were studying the horizon.
　　
25.Why did the boy impress the author？
A.He was on a rock on his own. B.He was stretching his arms wide.
C.He was imaging his great dreams. D.He was concentrating on the ocean.
26.What does the underlined word “forsake” in the last paragraph probably mean？
A.Turn off. B.Take over.
C.Give up. D.Set down.
27.What would be the best title for the passage？
A.Live in the Moment B.Stay Away from Screens
C.Enjoy the Beauty of Nature D.Let Your Wildest Dreams Fly

IELTS is a famous international test.It’s common for interviewees （接受面試者） to prepare answers before the exam but there are things that you should avoid doing.
　　Sometimes you can guess the kind of topics that you might be asked to talk about in the IELTS interview.This means that it is quite common for interviewees to prepare answers in advance and learn them by heart.Then， in the interview if the topic comes up they will regurgitate their answer — whether it answers the question or not.There are several problems with this method.
　　Firstly， it is usually very clear that an answer has been memorised as it sounds very unnatural to the examiner.Examiners have a lot of experience interviewing people and they can easily see when something isn’t quite right.If they think that the answer has been memorised they will probably interrupt （打斷） your answer and move on to another question.
　　Secondly， if you have memorised an answer most probably you won’t answer the question directly and this will make the examiner think that something isn’t quite right.
　　In summary， you should avoid trying to memorise answers， but you can still prepare for the interview by thinking about possible topics and making sure you have the words and language to talk about the topics in general.
28.The underlined word “regurgitate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “　　　　”.
A.forget B.repeat
C.change D.prepare
29.What does the author think of a memorised answer？
A.It can please the examiner. B.It can help you pass the exam.
C.It can answer the question better. D.It can’t answer the question accurately.
30.The author advises us 　　　　.
A.not to prepare for the interview B.not to guess the possible topics
C.to memorise some answers in advance D.to think about the possible topics in advance
31.How does the author express his/her opinion？
A.By giving some reasons. B.By giving some examples.
C.By providing some facts. D.By providing some numbers.

　　“Sleep problems are a global disease that threatens health and quality of life for up to 45% of the world’s population，” according to World Sleep Day statistics.
But it’s easy to recover from that sleep deprivation （缺乏）， right， especially if you’re young？ A good night’s sleep or two — and certainly a full week of sleep — and you’re back to your fully functioning self？
Unfortunately， a recent new study revealed that may not be the case， even for younger people.Thirteen people in their 20s who slept 30% less than they needed for 10 nights had not fully recovered most of their cognitive （認知的） processing after seven nights of unrestricted sleep to recover.
“What the study showed is that there are things like memory and mental processing speed that will not be restored that quickly，” said sleep specialist Dr Raj Dasgupta， an assistant professor of clinical medicine at the University of Southern California.
“Definitely， the major parts of sleep loss can be recuperated， but there are things that you’re just not going to get back quickly，” Dasgupta said.“That’s why it’s so important not to have that sleep debt in the first place.”
That’s because the brain needs uninterrupted sleep cycles to absorb fresh skills， form key memories， and repair the body from the day’s wear and tear.During sleep， your body is actually repairing and restoring itself.
A lack of sleep therefore impacts your ability to pay attention， learn new things， be creative， solve problems and make decisions.Even skipping sleep for just one night disrupts functioning.
Depending on our age， we are supposed to get between 7 and 10 hours of sleep each night.But 1 in 3 Americans don’t get enough sleep， according to the CDC.In addition， 50 million to 70 million Americans struggle with sleep disorders， which can ruin a good night’s shut-eye.
The CDC calls that a “public health problem”， because disrupted sleep is associated with a higher risk of conditions including high blood pressure， weakened immune performance， weight gain， depression， and a higher risk of diabetes， stroke， and some cancers.
32.What did the recent new study find？
A.Lack of sleep is common in America. B.Good sleep can improve our memory.
C.Sleep deprivation leads to serious risks. D.Recovering from a lack of sleep is hard.
33.What does the underlined word “recuperated” in Paragraph 5 mean？
A.Improved. B.Influenced.
C.Recovered. D.Controlled.
34.What does the author mainly stress in Paragraph 6？
A.What sleep cycles are. B.The functions of sleep.
C.The risks of sleep deprivation. D.Why we don’t get enough sleep.
35.What’s the purpose of the last paragraph？
A.To give a warning. B.To make a request.
C.To offer a suggestion. D.To conduct an analysis.

　　When we are learning English， it’s important to train our brain to think in English， but how？
　　Charles Thomas， who has taught English to children and teenagers for over 10 years， will share some mental exercises that can help.
　　The first one is — Describe unknown words.　36　
　　“An example would be if you couldn’t think of the word ‘garage’，” Thomas says.“If you’re looking at your house and you see your garage， but you can’t think of the name in English， you can say， ‘The place inside where I put my car.’ Or you can say， ‘　37　’” He says you can also use shorter phrases， such as “It’s similar to ...” or “It’s the opposite of ...”.
　　　38　 For example， if you are sitting in a park， you can tell yourself things like， “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing sports with their friends.” Once this becomes easy， you can move on to more difficult sentences.
　　Another exercise experts suggest is to describe your daily activities.　39　
　　Thomas asks his beginning-level students to describe their day using the simple present verb form.So， they would think to themselves things like， “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus.”
　　Other experts say you can mentally make plans in the morning when you wake up.　40　 So the skill level is a little higher.
　　For example， you might tell yourself，“When I leave the house， I’m going to get an iced coffee.Then， I’ll take the train to class.I’m studying with Paola today.She said she booked a study room at the library for 2 p.m.”
A.It’s possible to think in English.
B.There are a few ways to do this.
C.This would require other verb tenses.
D.You don’t need to translate every word.
E.It’s next to my house and I keep things there.
F.The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences.
G.That is to say， describe in your mind objects you don’t know the words for.

　　It’s been over 40 years since I rode a bike on Saturday afternoons.But I bought myself a bike for Christmas this year.As one of the children growing up in the country， I had never had a bike of my own.Dad had managed to save an old bike from the local waste yard and gave it to me.But I found it hard to love the second-hand bike， which didn’t even have a proper seat.
Before I bought myself a bike， I didn’t think riding a bike was my thing.I was in my sixties and therefore I thought I was too old to start something new and possibly dangerous.And I often asked myself questions：Would my body cope with this tiring sport？Would I be truly willing to spend hundreds of dollars only to leave the thing in the garage until it will finally be broken？Would I be safe on the road？
But then I read an interview with Cadel Evans， a winner of the Tour de France， about his annual charity work for bike riders.He said cycling is good for our heart and muscles and that it will improve our body if done regularly.It’s also a good way for us to go outside and exercise.More importantly， he said his mother still chose to ride in a 65 km race at an old age and that she didn’t feel fear while riding.Reading this， I felt inspired and I wanted to be just like his mother.Then I headed to the bike shop immediately and there was no turning back.
There were different kinds of bikes in the shop.I tried many of those bikes but they were just not what I wanted.Then I saw an amazing blue bike at the corner of the shop.That was it.I was happy that I found “my bike”.And it felt right the first time I sat on it.So it didn’t take me much time to make my choice.I bought it though it was expensive.

M：What is happening？
W：Our flight to Sydney will be delayed for 3 hours， so now it won’t depart until 1 p.m. But we have a meeting at night.
M：That shouldn’t be a problem. The meeting doesn’t begin until 8 o’clock in the evening. But we have another problem.
W：What is it？
M：We won’t have time to take a tour of the city. I have been looking forward to it for a long time.

W：What sorts of things did you do with them？
M：There were some trips， including a visit to Hardwick Hall. That was what we did on the first day. I thought they expected it to be boring， especially when they heard that was a guided tour. But I was wrong， for the guide was interesting. His stories really made the history of the castle alive.
W：I can imagine it. By the way， what sorts of sports activities did you do？
M：A lot. Sailing， climbing， horse-riding and the hike. On the last day we had a barbecue， which was their favourite. The kids liked it very much. They all hoped to come again next year.
W：That sounds interesting and impressive.

Welcome to Student Life！ Today we’re going to talk about setting up a project of student jobs in your school. Having students do different jobs around the school is a great way to prepare them for life in the real world. It encourages them to be responsible and also helps them learn new tasks and gain experience.
However， it’s important to get students excited about the project， so the first thing you should do is let students know this project. Get the headmaster to make an announcement explaining the project. OK？
Then decide on the jobs you want and write out the descriptions of the skills and responsibilities needed for each position. Some typical jobs are Classroom Assistants， Recycling Officers and Computer Assistants. Next， ask students to apply for the jobs. Students should be encouraged to write letters of application for the job they are interested in. This is a great way to practice letter writing skills. And don’t forget you should make sure students are guided by a teacher. A committee then reviews all the applications and gives jobs to the most suitable applicants. Finally， it’s important to get opinions from students about the project， and to find out which jobs are successful and which don’t go well.
第二部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章簡要介紹了莎士比亞的四部著名戲劇作品。
21.B　細節理解題。根據第一部作品的介紹可知，《威尼斯商人》的結局是Antonio被愛所救。
22.C　細節理解題。根據第二部作品的介紹可知，Hamlet優柔寡斷、不善于作出決策。
23.C　細節理解題。根據第四部作品的介紹可知，《皆大歡喜》是一部喜劇，里面有笑話、歌曲、游戲等。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。一天作者站在陽臺眺望海邊的游客，他吃驚地發現：大部分人先是忙于拍照，然后匆忙離開。很少有人真正投入地欣賞海邊美景。作者認為，這不是真正的“活著”。
24.B　推理判斷題。根據第三段可知，讓作者吃驚的是，大部分人先是忙于拍照，然后匆忙離開。在作者看來，他們沒有真正“存在”，沒有真正到過海邊。
25.D　細節理解題。根據第五段可知，這個小男孩自始至終一直在眺望大海，直到離開。中間唯一的一次打斷是母親叫他拍照。
26.C　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞所在句下句可知，作者認為手機等電子設備可以幫助我們與他人保持聯系。由此可知，他不認為我們應該徹底“放棄”電子設備。
27.A　標題歸納題。綜合全文可知，作者通過他當天所見，表明自己的立場：我們應該像那個小男孩一樣，投入地享受生活中美好的“此時此刻”（也就是活在當下），這樣才算是真正活著。因此A項為本文最佳標題。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。作者針對雅思口語考試給我們提出一條建議：不要提前背誦答案。
28.B　詞義猜測題。根據第二段可知，很多學生在考試前先熟記一些句子，然后在考場上應該是直接“背誦”出來。
29.D　細節理解題。根據第四段可知，作者認為，提前背誦好的答案往往不能很準確地回答考場的問題。
30.D　細節理解題。根據最后一段可知，作者建議我們在考前想一想考官會問到哪些話題。
31.A　篇章結構題。綜合全文可知，作者反對口語考試前背誦答案，他通過列舉兩個理由來說明自己的這一觀點。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。全世界45%的人都有睡眠問題，而缺乏睡眠的后果是非常嚴重的。
32.D　細節理解題。根據第三段可知，研究發現，從睡眠缺乏中恢復過來并非我們想象的那么容易。

第二節
　　It didn’t fit in the back of my car， so I rode it home.With a little fear， I rode carefully on my way home.Then I put the bike in my garage， feeling childishly happy and out of breath.I rode again the next day to meet a friend for coffee， which was a 15-minute ride.A few days later， I rode for 40 minutes around a nearby lake.Day by day， my skill in cycling improved.It’s amazing that I can ride for over one hour now， which is far beyond my imagination.
I’ve completely fallen in love with this sport.During my weekly rides， I find things that I’ve never noticed before.More importantly， now I have some friends who share the same interest as me.Riding a bike is not just a sport for me now.My weekly rides have become my special moments when I feel like a kid again.They make me feel free， strong and happy.How lucky I have made such a wonderful choice！

Welcome to Student Life！ Today we’re going to talk about setting up
a project of student jobs in your school.Having students do different jobs
around the school is a great way to prepare them for life in the real world.It
encourages them to be responsible and also helps them learn new tasks and
gain experience.
However， it’s important to get students excited about the project，
so the first thing you should do is let students know this project.Get the
headmaster to make an announcement explaining the project.OK？
Then decide on the jobs you want and write out the descriptions of the
skills and responsibilities needed for each position.Some typical jobs are
Classroom Assistants， Recycling Officers and Computer
Assistants.Next， ask students to apply for the jobs.Students should be
encouraged to write letters of application for the job they are interested
in.This is a great way to practice letter writing skills.And don’t forget you
should make sure students are guided by a teacher.A committee then
reviews all the applications and gives jobs to the most suitable
applicants.Finally， it’s important to get opinions from students about the
project， and to find out which jobs are successful and which don’t go
well.

　　Yesterday， I was sitting by the window of my house above the bay，
watching different groups of tourists stop to take photos.
They headed to the top of the hill to take photos of the coast — most
likely to share them on social media.The members of the group usually
stood with their backs to the bay with big smiles on their faces as if to
say，“Look at us： we are here， and you are not.”
What surprised me was this： Of all the people I saw， only a few
actually seemed to be “present”.Most seemed content to take a shot and get
back on the road.
There were exceptions， however.Four or five young couples arrived
throughout the day and， after taking the usual photos， spent quite a lot
of time gazing （凝視）， not at the view， but into each other’s eyes.I
had no problem with that.Also， an older couple sat on a bench holding
hands， studying the horizon （地平線）.
My favourite exception was a boy， who looked about 7.He stood
alone on a rock with his arms stretched wide and stared out at the ocean，
possibly imagining all his wildest dreams coming true.A woman， maybe
his mother， made him join her for a photo.Then， he went back to staring
until it was time to go.
Most of us spend a lot of time looking at electronic screens， seeing
the world on tiny displays.These small screens help us stay connected to
the people we love， but they can also make us miss things that are
important.
I’m not saying we’re supposed to forsake these screens completely —
how else would we keep in touch？ But sometimes， it’s such a pleasure
to set them aside and stand like a child by the ocean， with eyes， arms
and heart wide open.Indeed， there’s a name for that kind of pleasure —
it’s called being alive.

IELTS is a famous international test.It’s common for interviewees
（接受面試者） to prepare answers before the exam but there are things
that you should avoid doing.
　　Sometimes you can guess the kind of topics that you might be asked to
talk about in the IELTS interview.This means that it is quite common for
interviewees to prepare answers in advance and learn them by heart.Then，
in the interview if the topic comes up they will regurgitate their answer —
whether it answers the question or not.There are several problems with this
method.
　　Firstly， it is usually very clear that an answer has been memorised as
it sounds very unnatural to the examiner.Examiners have a lot of
experience interviewing people and they can easily see when something
isn’t quite right.If they think that the answer has been memorised they will
probably interrupt （打斷） your answer and move on to another question.
　　Secondly， if you have memorised an answer most probably you
won’t answer the question directly and this will make the examiner think
that something isn’t quite right.
　　In summary， you should avoid trying to memorise answers， but
you can still prepare for the interview by thinking about possible topics and
making sure you have the words and language to talk about the topics in
general.

B. It can help you pass the exam.
C. It can answer the question better.
D. It can’t answer the question accurately.

　　“Sleep problems are a global disease that threatens health and quality
of life for up to 45% of the world’s population，” according to World
Sleep Day statistics.
But it’s easy to recover from that sleep deprivation （缺乏），
right， especially if you’re young？ A good night’s sleep or two — and
certainly a full week of sleep — and you’re back to your fully functioning
self？
Unfortunately， a recent new study revealed that may not be the
case， even for younger people.Thirteen people in their 20s who slept 30%
less than they needed for 10 nights had not fully recovered most of their
cognitive （認知的） processing after seven nights of unrestricted sleep to
recover.
“What the study showed is that there are things like memory and
mental processing speed that will not be restored that quickly，” said sleep
specialist Dr Raj Dasgupta， an assistant professor of clinical medicine at
the University of Southern California.
“Definitely， the major parts of sleep loss can be recuperated， but
there are things that you’re just not going to get back quickly，” Dasgupta
said.“That’s why it’s so important not to have that sleep debt in the first
place.”
That’s because the brain needs uninterrupted sleep cycles to absorb
fresh skills， form key memories， and repair the body from the day’s
wear and tear.During sleep， your body is actually repairing and restoring
itself.
A lack of sleep therefore impacts your ability to pay attention， learn
new things， be creative， solve problems and make decisions.Even
skipping sleep for just one night disrupts functioning.
Depending on our age， we are supposed to get between 7 and 10
hours of sleep each night.But 1 in 3 Americans don’t get enough sleep，
according to the CDC. In addition， 50 million to 70 million Americans
struggle with sleep disorders， which can ruin a good night’s shut-eye.
The CDC calls that a “public health problem”， because disrupted
sleep is associated with a higher risk of conditions including high blood
pressure， weakened immune performance， weight gain， depression，
and a higher risk of diabetes， stroke， and some cancers.

乏睡眠的后果是非常嚴重的。

乏睡眠的后果是非常嚴重的。
32. What did the recent new study find？
A. Lack of sleep is common in America.
B. Good sleep can improve our memory.
C. Sleep deprivation leads to serious risks.
D. Recovering from a lack of sleep is hard.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第三段可知，研究發現，從睡眠缺乏
中恢復過來并非我們想象的那么容易。
33. What does the underlined word “recuperated” in Paragraph 5 mean？
A. Improved. B. Influenced.
C. Recovered. D. Controlled.
解析：　詞義猜測題。畫線詞所在句下句表達的意思是：但是有
些東西不會那么快“恢復”。這暗示上句中的recuperated一詞意為
“恢復”。
34. What does the author mainly stress in Paragraph 6？
A. What sleep cycles are.
B. The functions of sleep.
C. The risks of sleep deprivation.
D. Why we don’t get enough sleep.
解析：　段落大意題。根據第六段可知，本段主要強調了睡
眠的功能和作用，包括幫助我們吸收知識，形成記憶以及修復
身體等。

A. To give a warning.
B. To make a request.
C. To offer a suggestion.
D. To conduct an analysis.
解析：　寫作目的題。根據最后一段可知，本段主要說明缺乏睡
眠的危害，這顯然是給我們一個警告。
第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）

佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
　　When we are learning English， it’s important to train our brain to
think in English， but how？
　　Charles Thomas， who has taught English to children and
teenagers for over 10 years， will share some mental exercises that can
help.
　　The first one is — Describe unknown words. 　36　
　　“An example would be if you couldn’t think of the word
‘garage’，” Thomas says.“If you’re looking at your house and you see
your garage， but you can’t think of the name in English， you can
say， ‘The place inside where I put my car.’ Or you can say，
‘ 　37　’” He says you can also use shorter phrases， such as “It’s
similar to ...” or “It’s the opposite of ...”.
　　 　38　 For example， if you are sitting in a park， you can tell
yourself things like， “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are
playing sports with their friends.” Once this becomes easy， you can
move on to more difficult sentences.
　　Another exercise experts suggest is to describe your daily
activities. 　39　
　　Thomas asks his beginning-level students to describe their day
using the simple present verb form.So， they would think to
themselves things like， “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus.”
　　Other experts say you can mentally make plans in the morning
when you wake up. 　40　 So the skill level is a little higher.
　　For example， you might tell yourself，“When I leave the
house， I’m going to get an iced coffee.Then， I’ll take the train to
class.I’m studying with Paola today.She said she booked a study room
at the library for 2 p.m.”
A. It’s possible to think in English.
B. There are a few ways to do this.
C. This would require other verb tenses.
D. You don’t need to translate every word.
E. It’s next to my house and I keep things there.
F. The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences.
G. That is to say， describe in your mind objects you don’t know the
words for.

第二節（滿分25分）
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　It’s been over 40 years since I rode a bike on Saturday afternoons.But
I bought myself a bike for Christmas this year.As one of the children
growing up in the country， I had never had a bike of my own.Dad had
managed to save an old bike from the local waste yard and gave it to
me.But I found it hard to love the second-hand bike， which didn’t even
have a proper seat.
Before I bought myself a bike， I didn’t think riding a bike was my
thing.I was in my sixties and therefore I thought I was too old to start
something new and possibly dangerous.And I often asked myself
questions：Would my body cope with this tiring sport？Would I be truly
willing to spend hundreds of dollars only to leave the thing in the garage
until it will finally be broken？Would I be safe on the road？
But then I read an interview with Cadel Evans， a winner of the Tour
de France， about his annual charity work for bike riders.He said cycling is
good for our heart and muscles and that it will improve our body if done
regularly.It’s also a good way for us to go outside and exercise.More
importantly， he said his mother still chose to ride in a 65 km race at an
old age and that she didn’t feel fear while riding.Reading this， I felt
inspired and I wanted to be just like his mother.Then I headed to the bike
shop immediately and there was no turning back.
There were different kinds of bikes in the shop.I tried many of those
bikes but they were just not what I wanted.Then I saw an amazing blue
bike at the corner of the shop.That was it.I was happy that I found “my
bike”.And it felt right the first time I sat on it.So it didn’t take me much
time to make my choice.I bought it though it was expensive.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
It didn’t fit in the back of my car， so I rode it home. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
I’ve completely fallen in love with this sport. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
參考范文：
It didn’t fit in the back of my car， so I rode it home.With a little
fear， I rode carefully on my way home.Then I put the bike in my
garage， feeling childishly happy and out of breath.I rode again the next
day to meet a friend for coffee， which was a 15-minute ride.A few days
later， I rode for 40 minutes around a nearby lake.Day by day， my skill
in cycling improved.It’s amazing that I can ride for over one hour now，
which is far beyond my imagination.
I’ve completely fallen in love with this sport.During my weekly
rides， I find things that I’ve never noticed before.More importantly，
now I have some friends who share the same interest as me.Riding a bike is
not just a sport for me now.My weekly rides have become my special
moments when I feel like a kid again.They make me feel free， strong and
happy.How lucky I have made such a wonderful choice！
謝謝觀看！
