这道题目在2011年8月1日考试是首次被使用，当然是在原来考过的Talk about a type of movie that you like这道题目基础上改成否定式出的题目。近几年ETS出Q1有两个趋势：一是改换原来题目的限定词，比如将“你最喜欢的”改成“你印象最深刻的”，将“5年”改成“10年”等等。二是将原来考过的题目改成否定式来考，比如将“喜欢的电影”、“喜欢的食物”、“喜欢的人”改成“不喜欢的电影”、“不喜欢的食物”、＂不喜欢的人“等等。我在课上反复向学生强调过这两个规律，这次考试再次验证了。所以同学们在练习机经时除了要练习高频复现的题目之外，还要灵活多变，多改换限定词和改成否定式来练！

参考范文

【参考答案】

A type of social event celebrated in my culture is the flag-raising ceremony on National Day. Oceans of (表示“许多”)people from all across the country come to Beijing the day before. They are very excited to see the ceremony with their own eyes instead of on TV. Some even have been planting this dream in their mind for years. They arrive around 6:00 early in the morning, waiting for the special moment. I guess they are all overwhelmed (震撼的) and thrilled (激动)by the wonderful scene at the time. On the other hand, the view of the honor guard parade is fantastic,the guards are wearing the green military uniform and marching to Tianmen Square with a high spirit. Each birthday celebration of the great country always begin with such a solemn (庄严的) flag-raising ceremony, which strengthens the unity and motivation of its people.
