Task 1：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement：The internet plays an important role in your life.Use specific examples and details to support your answer.
Of course the internet plays a very important role in my life.One of the most important things I use the internet for is my school work.I use the internet to do research for the papers my teacher assigns.My teacher also suggests we look at certain websites to help study for exams.If I did not have access to the internet, I would not be able to do these assignments.The internet is also important to keep in contact with friends and family.I know that when I go to study abroad, having the internet to keep in touch with people will make it easier to be so far away from home.Not to mention that it is very difficult to even apply to foreign schools without the internet!
Task 2：Are the living standards of people today better than the past? Give details and examples to support your response.Begin your response after the beep.
It’d undeniable that the living conditions of people today are better than previous generations.Technology has made that totally possible.For example probably one the biggest advancements within the past hundred years is the treatment of water and the ability to have clean drinking water for many more places.Whereas previously people used wells and tried to heat and boil water in order to clean it by themselves, now there are water treatment facilities.This helps people avoid diseases and actually live healthier and better lives.
独立题分析如下：
Task 1：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement：The internet plays an important role in your life.Use specific examples and details to support your answer.
这道题目表面看是一道“Do you agree or disagree”的选择，似乎既可以同意，也可以反对。但仔细想想，网络对于我们生活的重要性已经是毋庸置疑的了，所以ETS把这道题目放在第一题考，就是说明不存在选择问题，只要说明白网络对于我们现在生活的重要意义就可以了。
也有学生回忆的机经是：说一个internet的好处，应该是ETS对上面这道题目的改写。
internet的好处：
1.信息的快速大量传播：blog, microblog等等
2.资料检索方便：google, yahoo等search engine
3.人与人之间交流的便捷：email, social networking sites等等
4.娱乐的重要资源：联网游戏、在线看电影、分享视频，听音乐等等
5.改变我们的生活习惯、交流方式
6.拓展眼界、了解世界
等等…
Task 2：Are the living standards of people today better than the past (100 years ago)? Give details and examples to support your response.Begin your response after the beep.
这道题目是真正的两者之间的选择，既可以说现在的生活水平比一百年前的过去好，也可以说比过去差，关键看选取的角度。
现在的生活水平比一百年前的过去好：这个角度是比较容易说的角度，考试现场操作选取这个角度比较保险，因为可以说出很多现代社会进步、比过去优越的地方。
现在的生活水平没有一百年前的过去好：这个角度比较新颖，但也不是无话可说，说好了可以很出彩。
1.过去的生活更干净，没有现在的各种污染
2.过去的生活更和谐，天人合一，没有现在生态失衡
3.过去的生活节奏更慢，有益于身心健康，没有现代人的各种快节奏和压力
4.过去的食物都是现在的有机食物概念，没有各种转基因、激素的使用
等等……
综合题机经如下：
Task 3：一个学校的政策 要求不要在学生活动中心的入口帖广告影响外观 可以将广告贴在食堂外面 学生不同意 1) 学生活动中心本来就很boring 外面有些广告会看上去更漂亮 2) 根本没什么人在食堂吃饭 帖了广告也看不到。
Task 4：动物是怎么警告捕食者的通过显目的颜色或者释放臭气
Task 5：一个学生明天有电影课还有讨论 但是他明天侄子要来两个方案 一，由另外一个女生代替他去接待侄子 但是缺点是侄子比较害羞二，先由自己带侄子吃饭 晚一点再看电影缺点就是不能参加讨论。
