9、.html复述：（连续播放两遍，可以记笔记，然后用英文复述）。本环节负责播放录音的老师出了状况，给我们直接从第三段开始放的，因此莫名其妙不知道在讲什么，第二遍从头开始放，更加莫名其妙，引起了慌乱，之后大家提了出来，又把前两段重新放了一遍，但这个时候已经一锅粥了，就凑合着说了说，面试结束后，我们这组又重考了一次，用的备用试卷。下面这篇是原本用的考题，音频就是Economist 本来的音频，速度可想而知。备用卷是关于美国未成年人饮酒的辩论的。（Too young to drink?)题目没有找到，速度刚好。老师说最后的成绩会综合考虑两次的录音打分，因为这一事故，状态受到严重打击。Theoilpri
