　　一、写作

　　How to best handle the relationship between parents and children

　　In recent years, the current society is confronted with an increasingly severe phenomenon that the relationship between parents and children is no longer as harmonious as that in the past. According to a survey conducted by China Daily, the number of cases about the conflicts between parents and children has increased 23.6%. From my perspective, proper methods should be adopted to deal with it and the following two are the main ones.

　　First and foremost, parents should spend more time with their children although they are indeed busy due to the current financial burden on their shoulders. What’s more, parents should avoid indulging their children too much for the fact that indulgence may not benefit them at all. Also, children are supposed to show respects for their parents and feel grateful for what their parents have done.

　　Only when both parents and children show more understanding for each other can they build a harmonious relationship and they can enjoy a better family life.

　　二、阅读

　　1. 选词填空

　　难度和第一套相持平，会有一些学生觉得较难的词汇，比如enroll, feasible，championships等。但文章总体内容不难，介绍了一个教育家创立的一个致力于培养孩子在理工科方面能力与知识的项目。这套题目的另一个难点在于动词ing形式的选项有3个，动词过去分词形式的选项有两个，占到了选项的三分之一。这类选项是较难把握的，会对考生造成一定的难度。

　　2. 长篇阅读

　　词汇难度相较第一套有所提升，包含不少有一定难度的词汇，比如accusation, serendipity deficit等，但都是设题点，总体和第一套难度持平。，文章主题是好奇心的缺失。题干中的定位词都非常明显，文章也没有进行非常隐晦的替换，找到关键词即可解题。

　　3. 仔细阅读

　　第一篇介绍了到底应不应该把衰老认为是一种疾病，文章语言难度适中，题目都是细节题，准确定位，选项替换较少。

　　第二篇介绍了性别不平等，女性在科学领域中收到不公正对待。文章语言难度比第一篇有所增加，出现了不少有一定难度的词汇比如postdoctoral, geoscience, recommendation, implicit 等，但题目的定位句比较容易找到，替换比第一篇略多。总体来说比第一篇难，但难度适中。

　　三、翻译

　　此次考三山，泰山因为世人皆知，所以可说的内容较多，故写出的中文，从翻译的角度上，要稍难于其它两山，但也只是稍微而矣。

　　词汇方面：海拔，方圆，雄伟壮观，朝拜，帝王，灵感，游览，古迹，这些词都需要仔细体会才能译得恰到好处。其中一部分是之前真题出现过的词。而像海拔、方圆这样的词，仔细体会就会发现写的是高度和面积，并不难。

　　语法方面：定语从句，并列句，时态，被动。像不但……而且这样的中文，英文可以考虑直接对应到not only…but also。时态方面，考的点也很细腻，“过去3000多年”仔细体会发现可用现在完成时，也可以用一般过去时。一个“曾”字也是时态转换的标志。

　　易错的地方：多个定语的前置后置及排序;多个短句中间的连接和逻辑，如本文第2句，三个小短句，若不断句，就要考虑如何巧妙地连接起来。

　　泰山位于山东省西部。海拔1500余米，方圆约400平方公里。泰山不仅雄伟壮观，而且是一座历史文化名山，过去3000多年一直是人们前往朝拜的地方。据记载，共有72位帝王曾来此游览。许多作家到泰山获取灵感，写诗作文。艺术家也来此画画。山上因此留下了许许多多的文物古迹。泰山如今已成为中国一处主要的旅游景点。
