【对话】
从1-2月线下考场版篇25篇conversation文章来看，生活服务的考察频率略低于学术讨论。（见图1）
话题1：华盛顿雕像，印象派画作，参与管弦乐团活动，音乐课程询问，诗歌鉴赏课，民间作曲家，以超级月亮为灵感创作音乐等艺术类话题讨论。从这个话题看出，艺术类特别是音乐类的话题最近是conversation的考察的常客。
话题2：图书馆资源使用询问。
● 生活服务场景：
话题1: 服装设计（设计与冥王星相关的主题服装），这篇文章看出即使是生活类的conversation也有可能考察学术名词如冥王星Pluto。
话题2：校园停车问题
话题3：校园文化手链制作讨论。
话题4：住宿问题讨论

除以上的话题分布外，过去两个月各话题下的题目考察点来看的话，因果逻辑依然是最高频的考点，其地位难以被其他考点撼动，而且考察范围横跨了各个学科。因此，各位同学在刷题或是补充背景知识的过程中，一定要多专注材料中出现的因果信息，尝试去理清其中的原因和结果，最好能主动去出因果考点题，让自己对这类信息更加熟练。
