JACK: Jack Dawson. That’s D-A-W-S-O-N.OPERATOR: And your address?JACK: It’s 33 Hillcrest Road. That’s H-I-double-L-C-R-E-S-T.OPERATOR: 33 Hillcrest Road. Is that in Exeter? JACK: Yes.OPERATOR: And what is the postcode of the residence? JACK: It’s AL698GQ.OPERATOR: Thank you. Do you have a telephone number? JACK: Yes. The number at my office is 754688.OPERATOR: That’s good, and may I just take a home phone number for you in case of emergencies? JACK: No problem. It’s 798662.OPERATOR: Are they both local numbers? JACK: Yes.OPERATOR: OK great, thank you for your patience. Now what is the nature of your complaint?JACK: I’m phoning to complain about a flight I took recently. I always take certain measures to ensure that I will be comfortable. For example, I always pay the additional cost for extra legroom and I always arrive punctually for the flight to make sure that I am seated beneath an air conditioner. Unfortunately I was disappointed to find that the air conditioning on the plane was broken, so I spent the entire flight in discomfort as it was too hot and the air was stuffy’.OPERATOR: I see. I do apologise for this fault with the air conditioning. Now while I have you on the phone, would you mind answering a short questionnaire regarding your recent flight?JACK: Sure.OPERATOR: OK, let’s get started. What did you think of the food that was served to you during the flight?JACK: I thought that it was inexpensive and quite delicious. However I was still very hungry afterwards as it was a very small portion and more of a snack. Providing a snack for lunch is not reasonable.OPERATOR: OK, I have noted that down. What was your opinion of the quality of service that you received from our staff on-board?JACK: The staff were very helpful, but each time I pressed the button to request service it took a long time for a staff member to arrive. I found this frustrating as there just weren’t enough staff on-board the flight to be able to serve all of the customers.OPERATOR: OK, that’s great. Thank you very much for answering those questions. Are there any other parts of your travel experience that you would like to comment on?JACK: Yep. The process of moving through security was very quick and helped to make my travel experience stress-free.OPERATOR: Okay. Do you have any extra comments on the services you received during the flight?JACK: Yes, I thought that the seats were very uncomfortable and looked very old. They were also in need of repair as the reclined feature on my chair was broken so I could not go to sleep for the whole flight. Luckily the entertainment facilities were very good so I was able to distract myself by watching movies.OPERATOR: Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all of my questions, we would liketo offer you some gifts as a goodwill gesture, with a 20% discount on the cost of your hotel stay. We also appreciate that international calls to your home country can be expensive and we are sure that you would like to keep your family updated on your travels, so please accept a phone card, which has a credit of £20.JACK: Oh that’s really great. Thank you so much for the gifts!OPERATOR: No problem, we look forward to having you travel with us again soon! Have a fantastic vacation.JACK: Thanks!

2012年雅思考试阅读模拟试题及答案(一) Published online:Nov 9th 2006 From The Economist print edition How shops can exploit people’s herd mentality to increase sales 1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (that is,how ants,bees or any social animal,including humans,behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy. 2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome,Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani, a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology,described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted:for instance,by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store,forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes,also of the Florida Institute of Technology,set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that,if a certain product is seen to be popular,shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying. 3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani’s supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information,and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high,he is more likely to select it too. 4. Mr Usmani’s “swarm-moves” model appeals to supermarkets because it increases sales without the need to give people discounts. And it gives shoppers the satisfaction of knowing that they bought the “right” product—that is,the one everyone else bought. The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world,mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets. But Mr Usmani says that both Wal-Mart in America and Tesco in Britain are interested in his work,and testing will get under way in the spring. 5. Another recent study on the power of social influence indicates that sales could,indeed,be boosted in this way. Matthew Salganik of Columbia University in New York and his colleagues have described creating an artificial music market in which some 14,000 people downloaded previously unknown songs. The researchers found that when people could see the songs ranked by how many times they had been downloaded,they followed the crowd. When the songs were not ordered by rank,but the number of times they had been downloaded was displayed,the effect of social influence was still there but was less pronounced. People thus follow the herd when it is easy for them to do so. 6. In Japan a chain of convenience shops called RanKing RanQueen has been ordering its products according to sales data from department stores and research companies. The shops sell only the most popular items in each product category,and the rankings are updated weekly. Icosystem, a company in Cambridge,Massachusetts,also aims to exploit knowledge of social networking to improve sales. 7. And the psychology that works in physical stores is just as potent on the internet. Online retailers such as Amazon are adept at telling shoppers which products are popular with like-minded consumers. Even in the privacy of your home,you can still be part of the swarm. Questions 1-6 Complete the sentences below with words taken from the reading passage. Use NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. 1. Shopowners realize that the smell of _______________ can increase sales of food products. 2. In shops,products shelved at a more visible level sell better even if they are more _______________. 3. According to Mr. Usmani,with the use of “swarm intelligence” phenomenon,a new method can be applied to encourage _______________. 4. On the way to everyday items at the back of the store,shoppers might betempted to buy _______________. 5. If the number of buyers shown on the _______________ is high,other customers tend to follow them. 6. Using the “swarm-moves” model,shopowners do not have to give customers _______________ to increase sales. Questions 7-12 Do the following statements agree with the information given in the reading passage? For questions 7-12 write YES if the statement agrees with the information NO if the statement contraicts the information NOT GIVEN if there is no information on this in the passage 7. Radio frequency identification technology has been installed experimentally in big supermarkets like Wal-Mart. 8. People tend to download more unknown songs than songs they are familiar with. 9. Songs ranked high by the number of times being downloaded are favored by customers. 10. People follow the others to the same extent whether it is convenient or not. 11. Items sold in some Japanese stores are simply chosen according to the sales data of other shops. 12. Swarm intelligence can also be observed in everyday life. Answer keys: 1. 答案:(freshly baked) bread. (第1段第2 行:Shoppers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they intended.) 2. 答案:expensive. (第1段第4 行:Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors.) 3. 答案:impulse buying. (第2段第1 句:At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome,Zeeshan- ul- hassan Usmani, a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology,described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon.) 4. 答案:other (tempting) goods/things/products. (第2段第2 句:Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise theywanted:for instance,by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store,forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them.) 5. 答案:screen. (第3段第4 行:As a customer walks past a shelf of goods,a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high,he is more likely to select it too.) 6. 答案:discounts. (第4段第第1句:Mr Usmani’s “swarm- moves” model appeals to supermarkets because it increases sales without the need to give people discounts.) 7. 答案:NO. (第4段第3、4 句:The model has not yet been tested widely in the real world,mainly because radio frequency identification technology is new and has only been installed experimentally in some supermarkets. But Mr Usmani says that both Wal- Mart in America an Tesco in Britain are interestd in his workd,and testing will get under way in the spring. 短语“get under way”的意思是“开始进行”,在Wal-Mart的试验要等到春天才开始) 8. 答案:NOT GIVEN. (在文中没有提及该信息) 9. 答案:YES。

具体回忆如下:11月17日阅读11月17日写作小作文线图3根曲线小作文是三条线,比较有子女无子女的男女在不同年龄段的收入。
思路参考:剑5 TEST 1 WRITING TASK 1大作文In the past, people used to travel abroad to look many differences. Nowadays, places all over the world are more and more similar. What are the causes of the similarity.do you think the advantages of this problem outweigh the disadvantages.在过去,人们通常访问国外看到很多不同,现在,全世界的地方看起来都越来越像了。
这种相似性的原因是什么?你认为积极是否大于消极?文章解析:REPORT类混合题共分3段第一段介绍背景:全球化影响,造成建筑在全球趋同。
第二段解释原因:1. 互联网的发展使得关于新建筑的的影像立即能被传输至网络,从而借鉴。
2.西方文化带来的娱乐方式,使得建筑功能在发展中国家逐步与其靠拢。
第三段自己观点:利大于弊,建筑趋同是现代化的结果,虽然传统文明确实会受到一定的影响。
As the trend of globalization intensifies worldwide, many travellers currently are extremely perplexed by the emergence of identical structures no matter wherever they visit. Here is an essay aiming to illustrate some primary contributors to this awkward resemblance and present my perspective about the phenomenon.The first and foremost factor is the direct impact from extensive applications of digital technology. With portable devices, such as smartphone and tablet computers, being increasingly regarded as a must for visitors, pictures and video clips of newly-emerged iconic buildings can either be spread instantly by them in HD formats via social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter or be searched anytime on Google and Bing. Under such circumstances, it is small wonder that many architects can get virtually unlimited access to huge flow of information depicting every detail of many globally well-known mega structures situated in many cosmopolitan cities and immediately integrate them into their own works somewhere else. Moreover, partly due to the fact that many developing countries have, more or less, embraced western-style of cultures, local residents there are increasingly seeking for modern forms of entertainment as their American or European counterparts do. Numerous bars, golf courses, as well as amusement parks thus have been constructed as result of this evolution, dotting cityscapes globally with same greens or neonlights.Such development, in my observation, is generally positive when it comes to improving standards of living among people living in countries characterized by poverty and shanty towns merely decades ago. A marvelous skyline sharpen by concrete jungles is definitely a symbol of progress and modernization of these nations. It is sad, however, for some backpackers to witness traditions and uniqueness of those ancient civilizations being gradually overshadowed.词汇解析:1.Intensify v 加深,加强2.Perplex adj 矛盾,困惑3.Identical adj 一致4.Contributor n 原因,导致因素5.Awkward adj 尴尬的6.Phenomenon n 情况7.First and foremost adj 首先的8.Extensive application n 广泛使用9.Tablet computer n平板电脑10.Video clip n视频剪辑11.Newly-emerged adj新建成的12.HD format n 高清格式13.Social networking site n 社交网络14.Get unlimited access to v 不限制地接入15.Depict v 描述16.mega structure n 大型建筑17.Cosmopolitan city n 国际化大都市18.Integrate into v 融入19.Partly due to v 部分原因20.Dot v 点缀11月17日口语综合评述:本次考试延续一贯的话题,没有新题,但是话题较为全面,所以准备充分尤为必要。
