2019年公共英语考试一级口语必考话题及参考答案(1)

A 节部分即口头提问，是针对所给的Topic(主题)设计出若干问题，

向考生发问。它出现在考试的起始阶段和最后阶段。在这两部分中每

位考生大约分别有一分钟左右的时间回答问题，大概要说十句话左右。所以不能简单地说上一两句就结束了。因为在口头提问部分不给准备

时间，所以考生无论在考试前还是考试过程中都应有充足的准备。

(1)事先学习使用一些表达方式给自己争取一点时间思考。常用

的表达方式有：

As everybody knows. Sofar as I am concerned.

What I mean is...Well...

That is to say...You know, ...

(2)重复考官的问题也是一种得体的方式，为的是让自己有一点

时间思考。

(3)考试中选择自己熟悉的东西或事情来谈，否则会因为有些词

不会用英文表述，而给自己造成麻烦。比如就音乐或书籍来讲，考试

时选择一种会表述或表述较为容易的音乐或一本自己熟悉的书，比选

择一种自己真正喜欢的音乐或一本书更现实。

(4)考试中为了使自己回答问题的内容更充实些，能够用列举法

或举例说明法予以适当展开阐述。

(5)考生在回答问题时，如果发现自己要说的话太少，或觉得无

话可说时，不妨把自己想到的问题再详细地说明或细化一下。

A 节部分常考话题汇总及答案

1. And what shall I call you?

Most people call me Xiao Huang.

2. Where do you come from?

a. I was born in Xi‘an， which is one of the major cities in China. It used to be the capital city at one point in China’s history.

b. I come from Shanghai，but I was born in Xi‘an. My parents moved to Shanghai when I was just 4 years old， so I really don’t know much about Xi‘a n， apart from occasional summer visits to see

some good friends of the family. In fact, I don’t have any relatives at all living in Xi'an.

3. Where about is your hometown?

Xi’an is located in Shanxi Province, which is in

central China.

4. Could you tell me something about your hometown?

a. Hmm. . well， the population is about 6 million. It's famous for its historic sites, especially for the Terracotta Warriors. Xi'an was named the capital of China several times over many dynasties. Also, Xi'an is the starting point of the famous Silk Road, which was important in ancient times. The weather is extremely hot in summer, about 40 degrees Centigrade, and fairly cold in the winter, about 14 degrees Centigrade below zero.

b. Okay. Well, first of all, my hometown is "X". I was born in the city, but moved to the outskirts of the town when I was small. "X" is a fairly large city — a pretty important economic centre actually. It has a population of 3 million.

It's pretty flat, and is situated right near a large lake.

5. What is the climate like in your hometown?
