前言

　　IELTS（雅思）——国际英语水平测试——是由英国剑桥大学考试委员会（The Universityof Carnbridge Local Examinations Syndicate—UCLES）、澳大利亚教育国际开发署（IDP EducationAust.ralia）及英国文化委员会（The British Colmcil）联合开发的一种英语语言能力考试。目的是为准备进入以英语为主导教学语言的大学和学院进修的学生或以英语为母语的国家（目前指英联邦国家）移民人士测试英语水平而设。英国、澳大利亚、新西兰、加拿大、北美以及许多国家的众多院校均采用并认可这一语言测试系统。加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰等国家的移民局均将这种考试成绩作为技术移民及其他类移民中衡量英语语言能力的唯一标准。　　从1980年开始，雅思考试在全世界迅速发展，目前已经在105个国家设立了224.个考点。中国大陆的北京、上海、成都、重庆、福州、广州、杭州、济南、南京、沈阳、深圳、天津、武汉、西安、厦门和大连等地都设有考点，每年都有数以万计的人员参加此项考试。　　IEL TS考试包括两类：　　培训类（General Training）目前较多适用于移民　　学术类（Academic）　　目前较多适用于留学　　雅思考试全程时间2小时55分钟（包括听力的10分钟填写答题纸）。　　一、听力部分（General Training和Academic试卷一致）　　通常考生会听到4段语音（独白部分及2人或多人对话部分）。共给38—42小题作答，考生将只听到（一次）语音，不会重复（边听边作答）此部分。所以考生作答时，千万别等待语音结束才作答（不要回头作答），考生可把答案先写在试卷上，30分钟会话结束后，利用额外10分钟，再腾写在答题纸上。四段语音前两段中，内容以一般生活及社会状态、人际关系等不同情况模拟为主，后两段则针对具教育性、学术性、世界性的主题探讨，以对答（叙述）为主，但因其非常具有实际性、常识性，考生不必钻牛角尖。在会话进行中，边听边记录所听到的重点答案，记在问卷上（非答案卷），以免忘记或漏掉答案。

章节摘录

　　The quest for a practical match really be-gan after　1781　when a group of Frenchchemists came up with the Phosphoric Candleor Ethereal Match, a sealed glass tube con-taining a twist of paper tipped with phospho-rus. When the tube was broken, air rushedin, causing the phosphorus to self-combust.An even more hazardous device,　popular inAmerica, was the Instantaneous Light Box——abottle filled with sulphuric acid into whichsplints treated with chemicals were dipped.　　The first matches resembling those_usedtoday were made in 1827 by John Walker, anEnglish pharmacist who borrowed the formulafrom a military rocket-maker called Congreve.Costing a shilling a box,　Congreves　weresplints coated with sulphur and tipped withpotassium chlorate.　To light them, the userdrew them quickly through folded glass paper.　　Walker never patented his invention, andthree years later it was copied by a SamuelJones, who marketed his product as Lucifers.About the same time, a French chemistry stu-dent called Charles Sauria produced the first strike-anywhere match by substituting whitephosphorus for the potassium chlorate in theWalker formula. However, since white phos-phorus is a deadly poison, from 1845 match-makers exposed to its fumes succumbed tonecrosis, a disease that eats away jaw-bones.It wasnt until 1906 that the substance waseventually banned.　　That was 62 years after a Swedish chemistcalled Pasch had discovered non-toxic red oramorphous phosphorus, a development exploit-ed commercially by Paschs compatriot J ELundstrom　in　1885.　Lundstroms　safetymatches were safe because the red phosphoruswas non-toxic; it was painted on to the strik-ing surface instead of the match tip, whichcontained potassium chlorate with a relativelyhigh ignition temperature of 182 degrees centi-grade.　　America lagged behing Europe in matchtechnology and safety standards. It wasnt un-til 1900 that the Diamond Match Companybought a French patent for safety matches——butthe formula did not work properly in the differ-ent climatic conditions prevailing in Americaand it was another 11 years before scientists fi-nally adapted the French patent for the US.　　The Americans, however, can claim sev-eral firsts in match technology and market-ing. In 1892 the Diamond Match Company pi-oneered book matches. The innovation didntcatch on until after 1896, when a brewery hadthe novel idea of advertising its product inmatch books.　Today book matches are themost widely used type in the US, with 90 per-cent handed out free by hotels, restaurants andothers.　　Other American innovations include an an-tiafterglow solution to prevent the match fromsmouldering after it has been blown out; andthe waterproof match, which lights after eighthours in water.
