综合写作：

探讨auklet大规模死亡的原因
。

独立写作：

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is impossible to be completely honest with your friends.

朗阁讲师林森点评

综合写作：

阅读：

1.       在夏季auklet数量急剧增加，导致种族内部对食物竞争加剧，大量数量死亡；

2.       吃了或者接触了有着virus的食物等，导致他们infection，最终死亡；

3.       水温的上升导致auklet的食物zooplankton变小并且营养减少。

听力：反驳阅读提出的三种解释：

1.  每年夏季auklet数量都会增加，而且在部分auklet死亡之后食物数量会重新达到平衡，但今年auklet数量下降比往年要大得多；

2.  海星感染virus之后会有可见特征，auklet并不会吃，而且死亡的auklet体内并没有查出virus infection；

3.  其他以zooplankton为食得鸟类和鱼数量都正常，所以一定是其他原因导致auklet数量大量下降。

独立写作：

本题是同意与否题型，任选取一方充分论证即可，以下是笔者给出的一个参考答案：

Position: I have the preference that it is possible and necessary to be completely honest with your friends.

Reason 1: Among various factors that we take into account in a relationship, for me, honesty is the most important and necessary consideration in the relationship with my friends. (在任何关系中都会有各种各样需要考虑的因素，而诚实却是最重要的那一个。)

Demonstration:As we all know, trust is a prerequisite for any kinds of good relationships, which results from continuous and constant honesty.If we cannot trust a friend anymore, there’s no point to maintaining that friendship.

（诚实会带来彼此的信任，而信任是任何良好关系的前提。）

Reason 2:Generally speaking, the more honest we are, the more precious friendship we can obtain. (通常来说，我们对待朋友越诚实，那么我们就能获得越珍贵的友情。)

Demonstration:Virtually, to be completely honest means complete trust and absolute loyalty, no matter what we can gain from our friends, which can largely promote the quality of our friendship. In contrast, a white lie is nothing but a temporary and modest tactic that is not considered as the best practice in the long run. (绝对的诚实能够提升友情的质量，相比较而言，所谓善意的谎言只是一种暂时的、中庸的策略，从长远的眼光来看，并不是最好的方式。)

Concession:Admittedly, it is justifiable to reckon that to be completely honest present us a risky status to an extent, where we could get hurt possibly. （这一段是让步段，简要表明绝对的诚实的确会让我们自己可能会受伤，但依然是值得的。）

考试预测

本题命题方式是同意与否，话题依然是比较高频的哲学类话题，但本题并不好论证，需要平时多思考多积累，希望同学们在备考过程中予以重视。
