2014年4月26日雅思考试考前冲刺题及答案

　　口语：

　　购物属于日常生活的活动之一，也是雅思口语的常见话题。闲聊shopping看似简单，实际想要说好并不容易，对词汇的要求比较高。看看以下这些范例吧。

　　题1：

　　Do you like shopping? Why?

　　Normally, shopping is the thing I loathe because it kills so much time. However, unfortunately my girlfriend is crazy about it. So I have to accompany her every time she goes.

　　这段话中有很多亮点高分词汇是很多考生甚少用到的。比如“loathe”是非常口语化的一个单词，意思是“极度不喜欢”，而往往很多考生只会使用dislike或者hate这样的单词。kill time消磨时间、crazy about疯狂喜欢、accompany陪伴，都是很好的词汇，考生可以参考学习。

　　看看喜欢的答案吧。

　　Definitely, I am a born shopping freak and always have impulse buying uncontrollably. Unlike boys who think that window shopping is a waste of time and energy, I think even window shopping can make my day like magic.

　　词汇也使用的特别出色。“a born shopping freak”意思是天生的购物狂，很形象地描绘了自己对于购物的狂热。have impulse doing冲动买某物，window shopping随便看看，a waste of time and energy浪费时间和精力，这些都是很好的词组。

　　题2：

　　Where do you usually go shopping?

　　除了回答去哪里购物外，还可以说说为什么去那里，从环境、交通、产品或者服务等不同的角度去回答。建议使用句型“It depends (on) …”

　　It depends on what I want to buy. If I buy some daily necessities, I will go to a supermarket; if I look for some clothes, I will choose some shopping malls, franchised stores or those fancy boutiques. If I have a fairly tight budget, I might consider shopping online. Taobao is my favorite. There are millions of eye-dazzling products, the same stuff, the same quality, and much lower prices.

　　这篇范文就是从不同的产品出发，去描述去哪里购物。Daily necessity日常必需品、Franchised store专卖店、Fancy boutique精品时装店、Have a tight budget预算紧、Eye-dazzling product令人眼花缭乱的产品。

　　题3：

　　Would you buy things from the internet?

　　Yes的理由：the high level of convenience更方便快捷、the broader selection选择更广、competitive pricing价格优势、greater access to information信息更多、Worldwide market全球市场。

　　No的理由：Colour aberration色差问题、Patience for the delivery/shipping运输延迟问题、Quality problem质量问题。

　　内容摘要： The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels.
