一、雅思听力

2月24日的考试听力部分，总体难度一般。题型比较常规，共20道填空题，依旧分布在P1P4部分，场景比较常规，词汇也相对比较简单，分别是旅游和社科类背景的常见答案词。P2部分题型为单选和多选题，难度较大，主要反映在选项的词汇上，题干的限定词相对比较常规。P3部分为本次考试最难部分，单选加上多选题，需要学生同义替换思维比较灵活，尤其是抽象-具体的替换，需要较强的总结归纳能力，平时需要多练习思维的替换。

二、雅思写作

1、小作文 组合图（饼图➕表格）

第一张是一组饼图，澳大利亚和新西兰在国外和国内网站网购的比例 第二张是表格，两国选择网购的理由

The charts and table below show the percentage of customers choosing different kinds of websites when shoppingonline and the percentage of customers shopping online for different reasons in two countries in 2020

今天的小作文考察的是组合图。我们的分段方式是单图单段， 并在overview中点明两张图的联系即可。大家根据这组图会发现，这两个国家的购物跟方便程度和价格没有太大的关系。

2、大作文 

Some people say that artworks (e.g. painting, music, poetry) can be created by everybody, whereas others say they can only be made by those with special ability. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

大作文考察的是discussion类型。对于该类题型，主体两段只需要分别去论述双方为什么会产生这样的想法即可。最后要给出一个比较清晰的个人观点。

主体第一段我们可以这样去考虑：任何一个孩子，无论是否拥有special ability, 可以通过教育与指导成为绘画、诗歌等的专家；而且这些special ability 也不是说不能完全被开发或培养。

主体第二段我们可以这样去考虑：艺术是个比较特殊的领域， 天赋等还是非常重要的，也很难去教。如果没有这些special ability, 很难在艺术领域获得很大的成就。

最后给出自己的观点，只要清晰即可。

The Mozart Effect

A

Music has been used for centuries to heal the body. In the Ebers Papyrus (one of the earliest medical documents, circa 1550BC), it was recorded that physicians chanted to heal the sick (Castleman, 1994). In various cultures, we have observed singing as part of healing rituals. In the world of Western medicine, however, using music in medicine lost popularity until the introduction of the radio. Researchers then started to notice that listening to music could have significant physical effects. Therapists noticed music could help calm anxiety, and researchers saw that listening to music, could cause a drop in blood pressure. In addition to these two areas, music has been used with cancer chemotherapy to reduce nausea, during surgery to reduce stress hormone production, during childbirth, and in stroke recovery (Castleman,1994 and Westley, 1998). It has been shown to decrease pain as well as enhance the effectiveness of the immune system. In Japan, compilations of music are used as medication of sorts. For example, if you want to cure a headache or migraine, the album suggested is Mendelssohn's "Spring Song", Dvorak's"Humoresque", or part of George Gershwin's "An American in Paris"(Campbell,1998). Music is also being used to assist in learning, in a phenomenon called the Mozart Effect.

B

Frances H. Rauscher, PhD, first demonstrated the correlation between music and learning in an experiment in 1993. His experiment indicated that a 10-minute dose of Mozart could temporarily boost intelligence. Groups of students were given intelligence tests after

listening to silence, relaxation tapes, or Mozart's "Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major" for a short time. He found that after silence, the average IQ score was 110, and after the relaxation tapes, the score rose a point. After listening to Mozart's music, however, the score jumped to 119 (Westley,1998). Even students who did not like the music still had an increased score in the IQ test.Rauscher hypothesised that “listening to complex, non- repetitive music, like Mozart's, may stimulate neural pathways that are important in thinking”(Castleman,1994).

C

The same experiment was repeated on rats by Rauscher and Hong Hua Li from Stanford. Rats also demonstrated enhancement in their intelligence performance. These new studies indicate that rats that were exposed to Mozart's showed “increased gene expression of BDNF (a neural growth factor), CREB (a learning and memory compound), and Synapsin I(a synaptic growth protein) " in the brain's hippocampus, compared with rats in the control group, which heard only white noise (e.g. the whooshing sound of a V radio tuned between stations). 

D

How exactly does the Mozart Effect work? Researchers are still trying to determine the actual mechanisms for the formation of these enhanced learning pathways. Neuroscientists suspect that music can actually help build and strengthen connections between neurons in the cerebral cortex in a process similar to what occurs in brain development despite its type.
