屏幕显示以下文字

考生需要朗读的文字：Many people would list San Francisco as one of the most delightful cities in the world. Sitting on the Pacific coast, it gives you a feeling ofthe sea. The sea breezes wake you up and make you eat well and sleep well. The city was planned with straight roads, and these roads cross each other at right angles, making squares as they do in many American cities. Very often you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, looking down one of these straight roads as it rises and falls on its journey through the town. A good way to travel these roads is by cable car. These are buses that run on rails in the ground up and down the steep hills.

学生A/B回答：

Alright, this is a picture about bad behavior on tour. From the left to the right, I can see quiet a few things.

On the left side,there is a woman standing next to a tree. Well, some illegal writings can also be spotted on the tree, saying“I am here for tour”.

In the middle area, I spot a man who isobviously the friend of the woman kicking the tree while taking a picture for the woman, You know, when a sign hanging on the tree clearly stated no climbing or other harms to the tree are allowed.

On the right side of this picture, I think there is a man hanging on the branch and swinging happily. Actually, the branch of the tree is about to break at any second.

I think this picture is depressing, as it makes me feel so sad.

考生A和B讨论，时间3分钟

考生A：Well, today our topic is to describe a plan of travel. Let me tell you something about place to visit, I think Singapore is a good choice. Singapore is a city-state in Asia. It is not only famous for the fabulous views, but also the high-end shopping centres and skyscrapers. People consider it as the economic centre of the whole region and the education there is one of the best in Asia. What do you think?

考生B：I agree. Besides, there are a lot of well-recognised enterprises located in the city. What's more, it is well-known for its various food flavours and all kinds of merlion sculptures and gifts, which is amazing for travellers to buy as souvenirs. The merlion is the representative of the country, and it is very important for the Singaporean.

I really want to say something about schedule. I think we should go there during the summer holiday. How do you feel about it?

考生A：I don’t have a chance to encounter with this kind of question before, but if you ask me, I guess summer holiday is a good choice, as we will have more time to enjoy every detail of Singapore. We wouldn’t be in such a hurry like all other regular tourists,right?

考生B：Yeah, I couldn’t agree more. What’s more, I’d like to say something aboutmeans of transportation. I really believe the plane is a good choice, as it is so efficient and fast. Trains or ships are not really a good choice for this trip. What else should we consider?

考生A：Lastly, let me take care of the issue of accommodation. Marina Bay Sands of Singaporeis definitely the place to be. It is a five-star hotel, which probably is also the most well-known building in the country. It cost 60 billion US dollars tobuild and is a multifunctional centre, which includes a casino, a theater, a museum, a restaurant and a convention centre. It would be amazing to stay in that hotel. Anything else?

考生B：I was told the most famous thing about it is the Marina Sky Park and the swimming pool called infinity pool in the air.Guests of the hotel can literally find everything that they need in the hotel without going anywhere else. Every day, thousands of tourists are waiting to go up the hotel and see the views of Singapore from the top floor. The hotel is as famous as the city itself and attracts massive people to come and visit. I think that’s all we need, right?

考生A：Yeah, totally.

考官录音：Thank you. That is the end of the test.
