　　TPO27口语部分——section1独立任务

解析	参考答案
Task 1: 　　Talk about a popular actor, musician, or artist whose work you do not admire. Explain why you do not like this person’s work. Use specific details and reasons in your response.
1) Likes to show off 　　2) Too talkative 　　3) His music doesn’t make sense to me	I’d like to talk about a Taiwanese pop singer. There are lots of rap parts in his songs, and this is one of the main reasons why I don’t like him—that I’m not a big fan of rap music. For most of the time I don’t understand what he is trying to say in his songs. They simply don’t make sense to me. 　　The other thing is that he likes to show off a lot. I mean, he boasts a lot and he is too talkative for me to appreciate his personality. There’s this one time that I watched a ceremony he hosted, he almost talked the whole time, which was even kind of embarrassing for his partner.
Task 2: 　　Some people do not enjoy shopping and shop only when they have a specific purchase to make. Others like to go shopping for pleasure whether or not they have something to buy. Which do you prefer and why?
不同意　　1. kids are able to make their own choices when they’re about to attend college 　　2. they’re more likely to enjoy the life in the college they selected by themselves	As for me, I think though parents should be involved when kids are choosing a university, they should not decide which university their kid attends. 　　Firstly, kids have their own preference and interests. I mean, by the time when they’re about to attend college, they’ve grown into an adult, and they know how to make choices. So parents can’t decide whether they attend a small college or a big one, or whether they attend college near their hometown or in a city far away from home. 　　Secondly, kids are more likely to enjoy the life in the college they selected on their own, which is actually a good thing for their future.

题目	大意	参考答案
3	通知：把纸质书换成电子书　　1. 省钱　　2. 电子设备可以辅助学习　　女不同意　　1. 电子设备不省钱，因为如果坏了或者出了新版，学生需要买新的　　这个设备不好用，因为屏幕、键盘等等都太小，女生更喜欢传统的读书方式	The university is planning on switching all paper books to e-books. Firstly, they think that it helps students save money. Secondly, the electronic device they use is an effective study aid since it’s easy to operate and offers lots of features. 　　In the conversation, the woman doesn’t seem to like the idea. Firstly, he thinks that although textbooks are not cheap, the electronic device won’t save money, either. This is because if the device breaks down or there comes out features, students would wanna buy a new one. 　　Secondly, the device is pretty small with the little key pad and control button. So it’s actually not easy to use. Plus, the woman prefers old-fashioned way of study, such as highlighting or underlining on a paper book.
5	问题：　　Poetry class vs. cousin’s retirement party 　　解决方案1: 　　Male professor covers the class for her 　　负面评价：　　He hasn’t been teaching poetry for years, it might be tough. 　　解决方案2：　　Teach poetry class herself and arrive late at the party. 　　负面评价：　　Miss a lot on the party, her cousin will be giving a speech; it’s a shame to miss it.	The woman’s problem is that there is a time conflict between her poetry class she needs to teach and her cousin’s retirement party. 　　One possible solution is that she could ask the male professor to cover the class for her. The other solution is that she could teach the poetry class herself and arrive late at the party. 　　I personally suggest her to second solution. This is because her cousin’s retirement party is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and she wouldn’t have another chance to attend it if she missed this one. As for the poetry class, although the male professor hasn’t been teaching poetry for years, he could probably handle the class with his teaching experience and the materials provided by the woman. 　　Therefore, I’d suggest her to go for the second solution.
4	抽象概念：　　Swarm intelligence—group demonstrate greater complexity than the behavior of individual member. 　　例子：　　Ants in search of food 　　Wide space between the two branches 　　A single ant can’t cross over the space 　　The group of ants work together 　　Reach the food	Swarm intelligence is a phenomenon that insects as a group will demonstrate greater complexity than the behavior of an individual member. The result is they may perform some complex tasks that an individual insect can’t complete. 　　Just like the example of ants. When a large group of ants walk on a tree in search of some food, they find that there’s a wide space between the tree and the food. Any single ant alone can’t cross the space. Therefore, 　　what they do is that one ant walks forward to the end of the branch and holds onto the branch, and then it stretches its body forward so that the next ant can walk across it. The next ant does the same thing. Then one after another, they form a bridge so that the rest of the ants can cross over to reach the food. 　　So this is how swarm intelligence works.
6	总括：　　Two developments that allowed Roman cities to expand 　　观点1：　　Advanced building material 　　例子1：　　Bridge—cross wide rivers 　　Cities grow on both sides of the river 　　Create bigger cities 　　观点2：　　Effective way to move clean water 　　例子2：　　Aqueduct—move water over a long distance 　　No need to be located near the river 　　Cities grow bigger	There are two developments that allowed Roman cities to expand. 　　The first development was that they had an advanced building material, which is concrete that hardens under water. So the Romans could build bridges that cross wide rivers, and transport wagons and cars. Therefore cities were able to grow on both sides of the river, which created bigger cities. 　　The second development is an effective way to move clean water. They could build Aqueduct, a channel, to create a steady flow of water. So this structure could move water over a great distance. So people could have clean water without needing to be located near the river. Therefore, the cities could grow much bigger.
