By 1850,almost all of New England’s forest had been chopped down, and much of this was turned to farmland, surrounded by stone walls. But then everything changed, as richer
farmland and gold were discovered in the west. And many of the settlers chased their fortunes elsewhere. Towns like Liver more disappeared as quickly as they had been formed. Slowly, the trees of
New England grew around the ruins and reclaimed the land. This new forest was very different. By chopping down the old-growth trees, people had given fast-growing maples and oaks a chance to claim the land. They grew back in greater numbers than ever before.                                                          (65″ 108 words)

PART A  Reading Aloud
In this part, you are required to watch a video clip and read after the speaker in the video.
Aging is happening to us all of the time. Our own family is often our best guide to what it will mean. Wh
en we imagine our older age, a lot of us look at our parents. We know we’ve inherited their genes and suspect that what’s happening to them now may well be what happens to us in the future. And that’s something we’re likely to have mixed feelings about. Because we inherit our parents’ genes, we might also be vulnerable to some of the same illnesses. Our skin cells simply can’t replace themselves as well as they did. Even if you have spectacular genes, eventually we’ll start to look older.                  (68″ 124 words)  现在你有⼀分钟的准备时间。
