Part I Writing

1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled

Do One Thing at a Time, And Do It Well by commenting on the saying, “I can do

many things well at a time if given chances.” You should write at least 120 words but

no more than 180 words. Do One Thing at a Time, And Do It Well

正确答案： Do One Thing at a Time, And Do It Well Though many of

us often boast that “I can do many things well at a time if given chances”, in most

cases, we would ultimately mess things up when we really have to handle many

things at the same time. Such failure drives us to follow the principle that “do one

thing at a time, and do it well”. At first glance, multitasking seems to be

productive, but it actually splits our attention, making our work ineffective and

unsuccessful. Image a student trying to win an English speech contest, play in the

college football team, take an internship and write a graduation thesis in one single

term. Rather than getting several things half-done, why not try to get one thing

handsomely done? Once we fully concentrate on one thing without distraction, we can

finish the task faster and better. And the previous good performance will give us more

confidence to move forward, thereby creating a healthy circle. Success doesn’t

depend on how many things we have done, but on how well we can get things done.

解析： 这篇谚语型作文要求考生结合“如果给予我机会，我可以同时把很多事情做好”这种说法展开讨论并发表白己的见解，并以“一次做一件事，并把它做好”为题。根据题目要求，文章结构可安排如下： 第一段简要说很多人都有一次做很多事情但最终失败的经历，指出“一次做一件事，并把它做好”才是正确的原则。 第二段通过举例来论述同时做几件事的不足和一次做好一件事的优势。 第三段用一句话总结全文。范文用了一个对比句式来总结，是个不错的观点表达句式。

Part II Listening Comprehension

Section A

听力原文： An extraordinary tree frog thought to have died out more than a

century ago has been rediscovered in India The discovery was made by renowned

Indian biologist Sathyabhama Das Biju and a team of scientists, in the jungles of

north-eastern India. It is hoped the frogs might now be found across a wide area, from

China to Thailand. Studies of the frog have also led scientists to reclassify it as an

entirely new species. The newly uncovered frogs were first found by accident in

2007, during a search for other animals. Although the frogs have since been found in

significant numbers, [2]they are far from safe, Mr. Biju warned, with tropical forests

being cut down at alarming rates to make way for agriculture and human settlements.1

vehicle and pushing him away from the car. The other carjacker can be seen fleeing
