新闻
最新看了两则新闻，分别是——“What Beijing's 62-Mile, Nine-Day Traffic Jam Means For China's Turbulent Future of the Car”和“Bumper to bumper, all the way to Beijing”，通过题目我们很明显能看出一个字——“堵”。我们来看看新闻的具体介绍“Thousands of cars have been bumper-to-bumper, at one point crawling along at barely more than a kilometre a day since Aug. 14, when roadwork began on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Highway. The following week, parts of a major road circling Beijing were closed, which added to the congestion。”中国的交通状况，已经如此了。真的让我们非常心酸。
雅思听力
要在此提醒考生们注意的是，雅思考试并不会与生活割裂开，很多考试的场景都会与生活息息相关，交通问题是我们现在天天需要面对的，在雅思考试中一定也会对此有所体现。
下面我们来看一篇练习。
