二、设想考生在谈论周围环境及全球变暖的威胁

7分考生会说：Autumn is lovely in Beijing but the winter can be freezing. Temperatures drop below zero and the wind makes it even colder.北京的秋天很宜人，但冬天十分寒冷。气温会降到零度以下，刮起风来则让人感觉更加寒冷。

8分考生会说：Beijingers complain that the autumn is too short. You can understand their point of view because when winter arrives, you really need long johns and gloves and scarves and all the gear because the temperatures can really plummet.北京人总抱怨北京的秋天太短。这是可以理解的，因为冬天一到，你就非常需要穿保暖内衣、手套、围巾等来“全副武装”，因为气温会骤降。
