I could not answer these questions well because I had never thoughtabout them before. so I think that monemt is the most embarrassed moment in my life10.What harm can anger cause ? Can you suggest some ways to control anger ?We all konw anger can hurt our families and friends and it is harmful to our own body .So it is very important for us to try to control anger When we are angering. There are many ways to control anger such as rest , relax ation.,reading, taking a deep breath and so on.11.3 Can people be judged by their looks? Why or why not ?I think We should never judge people by their appearance, otherwise we may easily be cheated.

In you opinion, is this good or harmful?They have low wages and the development of the company in the future is poor.Above all,They think they are so young that they have many chances.It has some advantagesThey can have higher wages,Widen their field of vision and a gre ater probability of successThe disadvantages are that they must establish theirCommunications again and make the employers lose their confidence77777777777The stock market has its advantages. When a company is listed on the stock market, it can raise funds, which can be used to promote its development. When many promising companies offer their shares to the public, a huge amount of money can be collected, which will boost the growth of the national economy.However, in a bear market most stocks depreciate , andmany investors lose money. Worse still, some companies make false financial reports to cheat the public,which make the public lose more money .An unhealthy stock market is harmful to the country.888888888Do you think most people today will put their money in banks, the stock market or real estate? Why?It seems to me that most Chinese are traditional, and they like to put thei r money in the bank . It is true that bank interest rates are low. However, deposits in banks are safe. You can be almost in the 1990s, many Chinese seldom enter the stock because the stock depreciate easilyThe real estate【房地产】 market was hot, or rather overheated.NOw, the government publishs regulations to discourage The real estate .So perhaps some funds will pull out of the real estate market and move to the bank s . Generally speaking, I think most Chinese prefer to save their money in bank s for guaranteed returns.。

Do you agree with me?P: Of course. In my opinion, humor has an important impact on interpersonal communication humor has the power attracting others. For example, a humorous person is always the focus of any gathering. People concentrate on him spontaneously.F: I can’t agree with you more. And what I want to add is that humor is also t he best way to solve some conflicts between friends. When people are about to quarrel, a humorous remark leading to help settle the problem.S: Yes. Humor is a very important quality for a person or for getting along with others. In addition, a sense of humor can help you win a lot of friends.

A young couple was becoming anxious about their four-year-old son, who had not yet talked. They took him to specialists, but the doctors found nothing wrong with him. Then one morning at breakfast the boy suddenly blurted, "Mom, the toast is burned." "You talked! You talked!" shouted his mother. "I'm so happy! But why has it taken this long." "Well, up till now," said the boy, "things have been okay."F: it’s so funny. It turn to me to share a joke. Mrs. Brown: oh my dear,I have lost my dog. Mrs. Smith: you must put an advertisement in the papers. Mrs. Brown: it’s no use. My little dog cannot read.P: Eh. Let me tell you a litt le humorous story named “Two Pieces of Cake”. A boy named Tom said,” Mom, can I have two pieces of cake, please?” Then his mom replied, “Certainly -- take this piece and cut it two!”G: I know it. The humor lies in the point that Tom want to eat two pieces of cake, his mother agreed but actually she ask Tom to cut one piece into two, which made no sense.S: Well. My story is:Tommy: How is your little brother, Johnny?Johnny: He is ill in bed. He hurt himself.Tommy: That's too bad. How did that happen?Johnny: We played who could lean furthest out of the window, and he won.What is your favorite film and why do you like it so much?W: Do you like watching movies?P: Yes. I like watching movies very much. Pride and prejudice is my favorite film. The story itself appeals to me very much. It says Darcy, a proud man looks down on thosewho are in a lower social class, and Elizabeth who has prejudice on Darcy, fell in love with each other and married finally.G: “The Legend of 1900” touches me so much. I cann ot help recommending it. The film tells us the legend of a man named 1900. He is a talented pianist live in a ship from cradle to grave. Even at last he does not get off the ship although the ship is planned to be blown up. Land is a ship too big for me. I t’s a woman too beautiful, it’s a voyage too long, a perfume too strong, It’s music I don’t know how to make, he says.W: Well. My favorite film is The Fast and The Furious, which is well known for its exciting racing scenes, wonderful plot, perfect actors and actresses. When I first saw it, I was shocked by their passion for racing. It’s obvious that this kind of racing means dangerous and even death, but they said:” Drive or die.” At that moment I understand if you really take interested in something, then there is no fear.F: As for me, modern times is my favorite film, which is self-directed and performed by Charles Spencer Chaplin. Actually, Chaplin is one of my favorite actors. Modern Times was a wonderful blend of comedy and social drama. The movie provided a look into the world of the great depression by people who lived it.S:My favorite movie is Twilight. The main characters are named Edward and Bella. They can’t help loving each other. Edward is a vampire who has lived hundreds of years, while Bella just a ordinary high school student. When Bella recognizes that Edward is a vampire, she still chooses to love him under the pressure of every aspect. And Edward also pick the choice to protect Bella at all costs.F: I also like it so much. The story is so romantic.S:I like this movie so much that I have seen it four times. I think the movie stars in it are very beautiful and handsome. In a word, I just like it the moment I see it.P: I think Keira Knightley is beautiful as Bella.F: Sorry for interrupting you. Who is Keira Knightley?P: Keira Knightley, the actress of Elizabeth in Pride and prejudice, is very beautiful. And she showed me a true and charming character.W: actually, we can learn much from films. For example, still remember what Dom said---- Money are come and go, we know most important thing in life always be the people in this room, right here ,right now. Certainly, we have a group of friends to heart, what a lucky thing and nothing can replace it.。

大学英语(四)口语考试卷(2009级普本)
第1题Mention at least three reasons people get angry. What can we do to control our anger? (Unit1) People get angry for a variety of reasons ，People tend to get angry when treated unfairly. Specifically, when we realize we were betrayed by a close friend or tricked by a clerk into buying something unnecessary at a high price.Of course ,when people treat us with contempt（轻视）, or deliberately ignore us, we may get annoyed too. To overcome our anger ,we have two options: to fight or to run. In the case of a small offense, it’s better to walk away and calm down. It is not necessary to explode .However ,when confronted（使面临）with a gross （总的）injustice or a serious crime ,we need to stand up for ourselves and speak our mind. After venting（消除）our anger ,we may feel better .If we keep negative feelings to ourselves ,we will probably feel miserable for a long time and regret not taking action.第2题Why do people get depressed? Is there any connection between depression and bad luck? Can depression be overcome? (Unit1)People feel blue for a variety of reasons. They feel depressed after failing an exam or losing a job. They feel grief when someone dear to them, for example a close family member, passes away, or Suffering from a serious disease with little hope of a complete recovery, one may feel dejected.(沮丧的)There seems to be a relationship between depression and bad luck. If your spirits are down and you show it, people might refrain(避免) from talking to you. Many good opportunities may slip away as a result. And you might be left wondering why your luck doesn’t change.To cheer yourself up, you can study or work. Your mood might improve if you keep yourself busy and try to achieve goals. And if staying busy doesn’t help, you can just wait for the sadness to go away. It is said that time heals all wounds. Finally, you might find solace安慰in realizing. Your situation is not the worst. You can also choose to look at the bright side of things because every cloud has a silver lining.（内层）第3题In what ways can people improve their appearance? (Unit2)Some people just want to improve their looks in small ways. They may go on a diet to maintain a good figure, they make up to improve their appearance, put a facial mask or skin smoother on their faces during the night, have their teeth straightened, or have their nails polished. Some others have a face-lift to change their nose or chin, make their single-fold eyelids double folded, and have their skin tightened to smooth out wrinkles and crow’s feet. Some even inject botox to remove wrinkles. More drastically, some people may have liposuction to remove fat.But, in my opinion the best way to improve appearance is trying to learn to be more elegant and to be more Knowledgeable.第4题Why do some people want to improve their appearance? (Unit2)A love of beauty is part of human nature. People like to see beautiful scenery, flowers, and animals. It is notstrange that they also want to look at good-looking humans and improve the way they look themselves. With improved features, one may find a better job, attract a more desirable spouse, and gain faster promotion.Some occupations attach great importance to appearance. Most actors, anchorpersons, and fashion models can be recognized by their looks.It is sometimes argued that by looking good, one tends to feel self-confident. With confidence, success is more likely to follow in any undertaking.第5题Briefly describe some natural. Search the Internet for information before coming to class. (Unit3) There are many kinds of natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, drought, forest fire, tsunami, snowstorm, blizzard, hailstorm, hurricane, typhoon, tornado, landslide, and volcanic eruption.An earthquake is a sudden change or movement in the Earth’s crust, causing a moving and shaking of the ground. A flood can be caused by excessive rainfall or quick melting of snow. When the water overflows a river’s banks, the nearby low-lying land is flooded. When there is no rain for a long period of time, there is a drought: crops fail and people may die of thirst. A forest fire may be caused by lightning or human negligence –for example, a burning cigarette butt-or arson. It may destroy large forests. A tsunami is a giant wave that rolls onto the shore. It can be caused by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption or landslide. A snowstorm becomes a blizzard when the wind blows hand and visibility decreases.第6题What damage could an earthquake cause and what can human beings do to deal with it? (Unit3) An earthquake damages poorly-built structures. A powerful earthquake can destroy even well-constructed buildings. When the buildings fall down, human lives and property are ruined. Aftershocks may cause additional casualties. A heavy death toll, if not dealt with promptly, may be followed by an epidemic.It is difficult to predict earthquake, so we can only take preventive measures. For example, in an area prone to earthquake, we should construct strong, quake-proof buildings. We should also prepare emergency kits that includea torch, first-aid medicines and bandages. We should move out of dangerous quake zones. When an earthquakestrikes while we are in a building, we should move outside. If there is no time to leave , we can hide under a strong table or bad to avoid being hurt by failing objects. Don’t forget to turn off the electricity and gas to avoid accidents. 第7题In an Enterprise or institution, is it necessary to describe each employee’s duties clearly? Give your reasons.(Unit4)Generally speaking, it is necessary. Employees’ job should be clearly defined. With detailed job description, a worker will have a definite aim and high motivation to work toward that aim. They know how they will be rewarded and punished. Accurate job descriptions can do much to prevent unnecessary duplication and conflict among workers. If everyone in a company works as an organized team, the company is likely to grow and prosper.However, some potential problems are worth noting. If a job description is too detailed, some staff members will turn a blind eye to anything that falls outside their scope of responsibilities even if it is important to the company as a whole. Nor should job descriptions stand in the way of cooperation among employees. If those problems can be overcome, job descriptions will play a significant role in the company’s progress.第8题When a boss employs or promotes people, what may be the chief consideration: their education or their practical ability?(Unit4)In fact, most bosses will consider both, though they may probably attach more importance to the candidate’s ability. After all, a company’s profits come directly from abilities of the entire staff. Many of the qualities of a good worker such as diligence, teamwork, loyalty to the company, and courtesy to customers are gained through on-the-job training rather than from book knowledge.However, one’s educational background is not unimportant. If one can enroll in a distinguished university and attain a high GPA, it is likely that one already possesses good qualities like industriousness, intelligence, organizational ability, and a strong will---qualities that are equally useful in the workplace. But it’s also possible that some students from academic ivory tower are merely bookworms without much capacity for practical work. A boss is unlikely to promote such an employee.第9题What kinds of employees are likely to be fired? (Unit5)If employees do not observe company or department rules, they are likely to be fired. Any boss will be angry if employees are late for work or use the company phone to talk with friends. A boss dislikes people who don’t work hard, gossip a lot or read the newspaper over a cup of tea for hours. Even if one works hard, the boss may not be satisfied if one doesn’t work with high efficiency. After all, company profits come from employee achievements.Even though you’ve made significant personal contributions to the company, if you don’t get along well with your colleagues, you may impede the company’s productivity. After all, most jobs require teamwork nowadays. Usually the boss places a high value on employee loyalty. Disloyal employees may sell the company’s secrets and ruin it overnight. When the company is in financial difficulty and downsizing, the first to be dismissed will be those who have some of the above-mentioned problems.第10题After finishing undergraduate studies, would you like to find a job or pursue a postgraduate degree? Why? (Unit5)Some students prefer to look for a favorable job, through which they can gain useful experience that they can’t get from books. When they move on to a higher level job one day, then , they will already have experience in that field. At work, they can give full play to their practical abilities, and may be promoted to department manager by the time their classmates complete their Master’s degree programs.On the other hand, some students are not eager to take up a job and prefer to continue to study towards a Master’s degree or even a PhD. And we all know, knowledge is power. Although not everything you learn will be directly applicable at work, knowledge does improve your character overall. In the long run, those who acquire more knowledge will benefit from it.第11题Describe some superstitions in English-speaking countries. (Unit6)English-speaking nations have a number of superstitions. For example, many people believe 13 to be an unlucky number, and don’t want to live on the 13th floor on in Room 13. They say “knock on wood” or “ touch wood” to avoid bad luck. To wish somebody good luck, they may say “I’ll cross my fingers for you.” Superstitious people avoid walking under a ladder or opening an umbrella in doors. When they see a black cat run across their path, they think it’s a bad omen. Some people may hang a horseshoe over their door to ward off bad luck. If they happen to drop a mirror, they worry that they will have seven year’s bad luck. To ensure good luck, they may carry a charm of some kind, such as a lucky rabbit’s foot!第12题What is the relationship between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate? Does the former determine the latter or is it the other way round? (Unit6)Since the world is complex and mysterious, it is not easy to arrive at a definite conclusion. Some scholars, including a British psychologist, suggest that there exists a correlation between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate.But more research is needed before we can be sure of such a correlation. Moreover, the cause-and-effect relationship has not been clearly identified, and we are uncertain which causes which. In real life we can find counter examples: some optimistic people aren’t very lucky, while some pessimistic people are quite lucky. Perhaps we should try to find out which case is more frequent: optimistic people with good luck or optimistic people with bad luck. Judging from my personal observations, the former is more common. I can even supply the reason: optimistic people have more self-confidence, which facilitates their success in life. A survey involving many people is required to discover what most people think about this issue.第13题Name at least ten recreational activities, including those requiring a lot of physical exertion and those that are more relaxing. (Unit7)Some forms of recreation require a high level of physical activity. Here are some examples: football, basketball, badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Some people like climbing mountains, goings body surfing, or going rafting.After those strenuous outings, they feel mentally relaxed.On the other hand, some people prefer more sedentary activities. Instead of playing a ball game, they watch it.They go to a cinema, a theater, an opera house or a concert hall, or they simply sit at home watching TV. Some play various kinds of games on the computer, and others play chess or cards. Even when they want to stay outdoors, they may choose peaceful pastimes like fishing.第14题What do you think about the computer and the Internet as sources of entertainment? (Unit7) With the advent of the computer and the Internet, we can play all kinds of games in the virtual world; we can play chess and cards with people we have never met, even a chess master. We can travel to all parts of the world on the Net. We can send and Moreover, we can make use of the Net as a way of learning.But we should be careful not to get too much of a good thing. If we sit in front of a computer all day long, there will be many negative effects. Our eyes may get cause disease. Too much sedentary work is bad for our health. We may because physically week and develop a weight problem. Worse still, if we get addicted to the computer, we may neglect human relationships and communication between one another. In the end we would rather talk to a computer than to a human.第15题Should genetically modified(GM) foods be sold? Give your reasons. (Unit8)Some people do not like GM crops and food for various reasons. If transgenic crops are planted in a field, they may overrun it and eliminate other crops, for they are especially powerful. Some genetically altered plants and animals can be abnormally large, and people can not be sure that they will not be harmed from eating such foods. Moreover, we do not know whether abnormal genes will be passed on to the next generation. No wonder some people demand that GM food be labeled.But on the whole people are increasingly accepting GM food. Since we have not solved the problem of hunger in the world, GM food should be introduced to us. As the world population continues to expand, perhaps we have to depend more on GM crops in the future. So far, people eating GM food look just as healthy as those who do not, but scientists should monitor any possible dangers to health.第16题Is it possible that humans be cloned in the future? Give your reasons. (Unit8)Many people are against human cloning, and some countries have passed laws to ban it. It is often said that mankind should not interfere with nature, for we do not know what may happen if nature strikes back. Also, human cloning may bring many religious, social and ethical problems, and the present religious and social systems may collapse. Anyway, humanity has not yet mastered the technology to create a human.However, history shows that mankind is always curious to explore what is unknown and eager to accomplish what seems to be impossible. With further technological development, scientists will be able to create human clones, who are likely to be stronger, cleverer and better-looking than people today. Even if there are social and moral problems with human cloning, perhaps politicians and sociologists can figure out ways to resolve them. At least, the cloning of human cells and organs has great potentials in the medical field.。
英语四级口试题目汇总，参考价值高
英语四级口试题目汇总，参考价值高英语四级口试题目汇总，参考价值高今天小编为大家汇总的是大学英语四级口语的试题汇总，希望可以对有需要的孩子有所帮助。
第一场：理想工作Generally, everyone has his or her ideal jobs. Some people has the detailed aim such as a teacher, a doctor, or a lawyer, and others may have not decided a certain career, instead of which, they want a job with challenges or creativity. In my opinion, having an ideal job means having the inspiration and incentives, and my ideal job should be with following traits. First, it must ensure me to learn something new. Since learning new things is the mission of my whole life, and it will make the everyday job not so tedious. Second, it should give me some challenges, and in other words, it should not be too easy for me. Because the difficulties and frustrations in work will make me improve my skills in many aspects. Third, the working atmosphere should be harmonious, in which I can make friends with my colleagues. Since most people are busy working nowadays, and the companies may become the appropriate place where we can meet new friends. Also, to obtain the ideal job, I should study and work hard in my daily life, and the aspiration will be realized someday.第二场：难忘的一天Well, when talking about the memorable day, my first thought was a birthday party held last December.It was a sunny and cozy day. I was invited to a birthday party held by my American friend Andy in a beautiful part in Beijing.It was totally different from our Chinese gatherings since itwas in traditional western style. At the party, all of us wore great costumes and enjoyed various kinds of western food, which impressed me most was the tasty turkey cooked by Andy's wife. We danced together with the music and wished Andy all the best in his life. We shared different stories happened in China and other countries when eating the birthday cake. It was awesome.I'd like to say that was the most impressive party I've taken part in. Besides the delicate food, I also made new friends from different countries and learned a variety of cultural traditions from them. It was like a new world opened to me. In addition, I think this was an excellent opportunity for me to know other foreign languages besides English. If I can get other chances like this party, I really like to join again.第三场：民间艺术展览Personally, I am very fond of folk art. Sometimes, I go to the folk art exhibition as long as I have free time. As art made my life more colorful and interesting, I had always been addicted into art lessons and art exhibitions when I was a child. During that period, the art lessons and art gallery also developed my aesthetic.I draw pictures in my spare time and painting is one of my hobbies. Now, I usually spend my whole weekends on art gallery drawing pictures. Drawing brings me a sense of achievement. It's always exciting and entertaining to roam in the world of art. Moreover, folk art give me inspiration in drawing and I usually combine the element of folk art into my painting. Therefore, I am very interested in Chinese folk art.From my viewpoint, I'm partial to the Chinese folk art of ocean. For the reason that ocean always makes me feel broad-minded and peaceful. Besides, it's our traditional treasures. So I maintain that we should promote our traditional treasures to thepublic, especially the young.So, it is high time that some actions should be taken. On the one hand, it's advisable that the departments concerned should introduce and enforce some corresponding laws and regulations to protect our folk art, including hold folk art exhibition to the public, and promote the beauty of folk art to the social media. On the other hand, we are supposed to take advantage of the folk art exhibition to enlighten the public cultivating the habit of visiting art gallery and developing the awareness about maintaining and protecting our unique folk art. Folk art is one of the traditional treasures throughout history. It's our duty to protect and maintain our folk art.第四场：干净环境的重要性Let me see. Surely there's no doubt that lean environment is crucial. Everyone needs to live in a clean environment and I am no exception.The benefits are manifold. For instances, it is good for your health if we live in a clean environment, since we can breath fresh air and drink clean water. Clean environment provides us with opportunities to enjoy beautiful views of green mountains and clear rivers in which fishes swim freely.It also allows us to have good mood every day when working or studying. Just imagine, if we drive on the road after a day's tedious work, suddenly we run onto a road with litter everywhere and unpleasant smell from the river beside the road, what will we feel and what will we do? We are likely to feel grumpy and anxious.It is hard to imagine how awful and terrible our life would be if we can't live in a clean environment, so I'd like to suggest that we do all our best to protect our environment for our physicaland psychological health. It is our responsibility to protect where we live and set examples to the next generations so as to maintain our clean environments forever.第五场：音乐的作用Music can be classified into many different types, like Classical music, pop music, Blues, Rock & Roll Jazz, Orchestral music, etc. Different kinds of music can bring various kinds of emotion to people. For most people, music brings relaxation and happiness to our life. After a whole day of hard work, I'd like to lose myself into some kind of light music to relax both physically and mentally. When you're down, a joyful sound can sweep your bad emotion away. When you listen to their rhythm and style, you will feel your heart be touched and shaked in a blue mood. Then, you will be enlightened and cheer up soon. We can get power and courage from those inspiring lyrics to deal with challenges in our life. When you're lonely, music can be peaceful and comfortable, because it comes from within where no one can invade your private dreams.第六场：学习中遇到的困难Well, to be honest, everyone will encounter at least several difficulties in study. Personally, the most difficulty thing about study is to understand grammar. What's more, I believe that's the top difficulty among most of people who learn English as their second language. Due to the differences between two languages, most Chinese people can't fully understand the basic structure and rules about English, as well as the differences in thinking patterns and expression. When they do some translation, they just translate the sentence in word-to-word order without making their sentences logical. As a result, we can't communicate with foreigners and understand each other.So, even though we don't have any exams about grammar any more, we still need to learn some grammar. So understand what our shortage is and how to face it is important. Take myself as an example, well, first of all, I bought some books about grammar and start to learn by myself. But I still couldn't fully understand some of them. Therefore, I took part in a grammar class. In that class, I made friend with some of classmates. We often practice English together. Beside, I often talk to them, share my difficulties with them, so that sometimes they can help me to get out of the difficulties. Now, I have built up basic structure about English grammar system. I think I have overcome that difficulty.All in all, We will meet many kinds of difficulties in our study, if we give up quickly, then we will never address that problem. The best strategy to overcome the difficulties in study is to work harder on it. You can learn by yourself or with your friend. To find out what you couldn't understand and then practice.第七场：上大学的目的Um, well, I suppose going to college is one of the most important steps in our whole life.There are many benefits we can obtain from our college education. From the beginning, we can learn endless knowledge from learned professors in colleges. Besides those knowledgable teachers, there are also libraries where we can find what we want to read and learn. Above all, we can learn and improve ourselves most efficiently in colleges since there are great achievements of our predecessors accumulated in colleges, from which we don't need to experience the difficult research process again, just learn from our predecessors.Personally, it's my target to go to an excellent university sincethis experience not only helps me be an educated person, but also the most convenient way that allows me to find a favored job.Some may say we can also be educated and find a good job without going to universities. But please remember that learning in colleges is the most efficient way for us to achieve our goals.In short, the college is like an ocean of knowledge from which we can absorb useful nutrient freely.第八场：大学最喜欢的专业For the favorite subject in college, I guess I like the language course French best.I've learned this romantic language since I was a freshman in the classes of Miss Isabelle.Among numerous languages in the world, French is the one that I am curious to learn. Actually no matter when I am available at home or after class, I will open my French documents. Luckily, now I can speak French fluently and can communicate with native speakers without any difficulties. I feel a sense of great achievements. During the process of learning, I also encountered many difficulties. It's very tough to start learning a new language, especially the pronunciation part. As we all know, the way of French pronunciation is very different from English, let alone Chinese, so I always turned to Miss Isabelle and she always helped me address my problems in time. I'm very grateful to her.You may wonder why I like this subject most, or why I chose French rather than other languages. I guess this may be the result of my talent in languages, not other subject like the difficult math. Beside, I consider language a medium of communication. If I know the language, I don't need to rely on the translator or interpreter and I can get the first hand information. Additionally,I plan to travel to the romantic nation France to experience the French style romance when I finish my degree. Last but not least, I consider French is helpful for me to find a job after graduation.口语相关的互动讨论讨论话题：邀请同学参加聚会A: Hi, Lisa, long time no see. How is everything going?B: Not bad.

大学四级英语口语考试范文
大学四级英语口语考试范文1.大学四级英语口语考试范文篇一A recent survey, carried out by a Beijing-based information compa ny, has shown that two thirds of the Chinese college students today fa vor the idea of saving money for later use, whereas quite many others deem it much better to use tomorrow’s money toda y.Personally, I side with the former. Firstly, saving money can reli eve one’s anxiety in case of accidents, disease or other mishaps. As we all know, when one faces such tragedies as fir damage or fatal dise ase, one would need a large amount of money to survive such difficulti es. Secondly, saving money can give one a sense of fulfillment. Since most people work hard every day, they will be quiet happy and satisfied with his “achievement” when they find they have accumulated a large deposit in the bank. Thirdly, saving money allows one to give a help ing hand to others. With money available at the moment, one can offer badly needed help to those in temporary difficulty, say, those who are suffering from flood, famine, a car accident, or things like that. Yet taking a loan from a bank is often too costly. Thus, the timely help w ill be rewarded with gratitude.A dependable friendship will eventually be fostered. To sum up, sa ving money does have many advantages. Indeed, it is an important aspec t of the Chin ese conception of virtue. Therefore, let’s start saving money from today on.2.大学四级英语口语考试范文篇二Frustration is unavoidable in life. Faced with frustration, some p eople are defeated while others conquer it and succeed. In the long hi story of human beings, many people have set a good example for us.Strong-minded person cannot be defeated by frustration. It is frus tration that will breed success. Zhang Haidi is a case in point. Disab led as she is, she obtained the master degree in Philosophy and acquir ed four foreign languages. As far as we know, Edison had made experime nts for eight thousand times on more than seven thousand kinds of mate rials before the electric light was invented. As the old saying goes, our greatest glory consists not in falling, but in rising every time w e fall.All in all, when the unexpected frustration comes, we must set up the courage to conquer it. Furthermore, we should learn from our failu res so that we steer ourselves through failures next time and embark o n the road to success.3.大学四级英语口语考试范文篇三In recent years, to get a certificate Why does this craze appear?To begin with, it is the employment pressure that forces college s tudents to get more certificates. With the admission expansion of coll eges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market. How can one make himself more competitive? More certificat es at hand, maybe. Furthermore, diploma and certificates are still vit al standards by which a good many employers measure a person’s abilit y. In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students com pel themselves to run from one exam to another.From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s abili ty. Being crazy in getting certificates blindly is nothing but wasting time. To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not ge tting a certificate of no practical value.4.大学四级英语口语考试范文篇四In recent years, there are people in expanding numbers who have pa rticipated in the test for civil servants. Millions of students choose civil servant as their most ideal occupation after graduation. And amo ng them, the high-educated, like masters and doctors, take quite a lar ge percentage. The craze in civil servant test has attracted widesprea d attention.The following fundamental causes can account for this kind of craz e. First and foremost, nowadays college students face great employment pressure. Civil servant, as one of the most stable professions in toda y’s China, becomes their preferable choice. Moreover, recently, the w elfare and salary of civil servants have been improved greatly, which undoubtedly attracts many people. Last but not least, the high social position of civil servants is a crucial factor drawing many people to take part in the civil servant test.In my opinion, this craze in civil servant test will continue in t he following years. However, from the long run, it does not do good to the development of our nation. If most high quality talents gather inthe government departments, it might lead to a waste of resources. Acc ordingly, both the individuals and the government should have a more o bjective recognition of the civil servant test craze.5.大学四级英语口语考试范文篇五Years of reform and opening up to the outside world have witnessed an increasing popularity of telephones in China.

1. What makes you happy? Are you happy when others are happy? Give examples to illustrate the second question.徐振2013、6、24There are many things make me happy, just like pass all the exams in the end of the term, have a long trip, have a big picnic with my friends and so on. For the second question I will say “yes, of course”. I think the biggest happiness in the life is make the people who around you happy no matter you the persons you know or not to know. For example, if you help an old man to pass the road or sent a missing child to their parents. And you will see the big smile on their faces. At the same time, they are very grateful to you and appreciation for you. We all know the saying “helping is the springof happiness”. You will happy and pride of yourself after you did this.2. How can one strike a balance between low costs and high fashion in clothes?We all know that people like fashion clothes, but the fashion always connect with high costs. It is really very hard to make a choice between the fashion and the cost.If you like purring the fashion clothes but don’t want to cost too much, the Secondary marketmaybe a good choice. The clothes is not very old and the clothes always very cheap.In other way you should pay attention to the clothes matching, the latest style clothes are not really very good for you. The suitable putting is better than onlyfashion.3. What damage could an earthquake cause and what can human beings do to deal with it?A strong earthquake could cause a lot of hurt. For example, it can destroy most of the buildings, broken the bridges, Landslides. It can also cause a fireor cause tsunamis. The biggest hurt is it causes people died and injury. Firstly, the country should pay attention to earthquake prediction，let the people go other place to avoid it. When the earthquake is coming, we should learn to protect ourselves and the people local. We’d better lea rn some self-protection knowledge in the earthquake. For example, when the earthquake is coming, you should stay calm and try your best to find a safe place. And stay away from the dangerous things.4. Some bosses employ and promote only relatives or those who come from their hometown. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this hiring practice.There are two different points about the question. Some people think it is better to employ and promote only relatives or people from their hometown. They think relatives can care much about their business, the boss even more trust their relatives and fellow villagers. But othershavethe contrary opinion. They insist that a good company can’t last too long without talented persons. A good boss won’t only employ his relatives; it is really a stupid behavior. In my mind, the boss should choice talented persons no matter he is relatives or not, the most important thing is make the corporation more and more well.5. After finishing undergraduate studies, would you like to find a job or pursue a postgraduate degree? Why?After graduate I’d like to find a job. The reasons are as follows: firstly, a good job requires extensive work experience but not a postgraduate degree. If you have learned your professional subjects well and master some useful skills,to find a job will become easier. Secondly, every year too many students graduate from the colleges, the chance to find a job is become less and less. So delayed graduation will face greater pressure. Thirdly, graduation early can reduce the burden of my family. I want to work earlier to gain more experience to find high salary job.6. What is the relationship between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate? Does the former determine the latter or is it the other way round? There is a saying” Positive attitudes create good fate”. I think the attitude determine the fate. We all know that we can’t chan ge our life sometimes, but we can change our attitude towards to the fate. It is obvious thatoptimism makes life better, and it increases the probability of success. Almost every famous person always have optimistic attitude to life. They never say give to their fate, so they change they fate at most time. A person who has negative attitude to his lifemaybe always complaining about the unfair fate. Few of them can success or get true happiness.7. What do you think about the computer and the Internet as sources of entertainment?With the development of technology the internet has become a part of our life, it same that we can’t live without the computer and the internet. It not only takes us convenient, but also gives us happiness. Form it we can talk with our friends just like face to face no matter how far you away from them.And you also could make friends with strangers. The internet gives you the latest news about the world; it becomes your second eyes to know the world. If you feel bored, you can listen some relax music or watch some movies you like.Many people like play games with other people by the internet. It will give you a satisfactory virtual world; you can play any role you like in it.8. Should genetically foods be sold? Why or Why not?There are two different points about the question as follows: The genetically foods some advantages. For example, the world populationhas topped 6 billion people and is predicted to double in the next 50 years. Ensuring an adequate food supply for this booming population is going to be a major challenge in the years to come. Genetically foods promise to meet these needs. In another way, many people against the genetically food fall into three categories: environmental hazards, human health risks, and econo mic concerns. We don’t known the effects on human health, so we afraid of it. I think we should be care of genetically food before we know it better.9. What are the similarities and differences between Hitler’s offensive against the Soviet Union and Napoleon’s campaign against Russian? They say that pride comes before a fall. In the case of both Napoleon and Hitler, the many victories they enjoyed led them to believe that anything was possible, that nothing could stand in their way.They just want to see the success but never think well other elements whether impact the war. They all neglected the Russian ice defender. They have different numbers of arm, and they are all kind of equipment are also different. No one tell Napoleon the winter will overcome him, but Hitler must know the failure of Napoleon. Forgetting history is really a fool thing.10. If you were asked to help design a smart car, what would it be like?I will make its shape like a normal car, but it can fly like a plane, and itcan also float on the surface of the water like a boat. It better can talk with you when you stay alone, just like you friend. A smart car could help you eliminate the car accidents. It can sense if you is drunk via electronic sensors that can pick up alcohol vapor in the air, and refuse to start up the engine. And it can also alert the police and provide its precise location if it is stolen. The car can also see andsmell and talk and act. In another way, the smart car can help you avoid getting lost and getting stuck in traffic. When you go out the smart car will choice you the best way to your destination. At last, it can drive by itself if you are very tired.11. What would you do before a job interview when you are ready to graduate?There are many things I should concern to get a good job before graduate: firstly, learn as much as about how the interview will be conducted. For example, it is not impolite to ask how long the interview will take. I should get acquainted with the organization’s size, history and re putation. I can do this through the company’s website, or at a local library. Secondly, think about: “What kind of questions am I going to be asked and how am I going to answer them?”I can also prepare some intelligent questions to ask; then with a friend or in front of a mirror practice them. Thirdly, think about how my previous experience qualifies me and how it compares to the work on offer. The important thing isdress conservatively with a tie and business suit.12. Some differences between Chinese and American Culture.There are many differences between Chinese and American culture. Firstly, we are one of the four great ancient civilizations and we have long and rich story. But the time of the America history just over 200 years old. Secondly, we speak Chinese,but the American speaks English. Chinese people like to talk subtle, Americans like to talk directly. Our Chinese can be written in many ways, but the American English. Thirdly, The Chinese and American's diet culture is different，Chinesepeople like eat different food, no matter hot food or sweet food. But American likes fast food. What’s more, they treat children are also different from us. They prefer let children do something independently, but we like straight tell them the result.13. Do you think there is some truth in the saying, “You can’t judge a book by looking at its cover”? Explain.Yes, of course the saying is true. It tells us don't make judgments based only on appearances. There is a saying “Time reveals a person's heart.” If you want judgment something you need to take a deeper, closer look at it. Example: "A person dresses in plain clothes and drives an old car. Who would know he is the richest man in the town?" The value of somethingis not always obvious from what we see on the surface, so we should save our judgments until we have more experience. Example: "That professor may seem slow and awkward. In fact, He is one of the brightest minds in his field." So you can’t judge a man is a good person by first meeting, maybe he is a fool for women, who knows.14. Has technology made our lives easier or more burdensome? Give examples to illustrate your view.For this question, I think different people have different answers. We know that the technology is a double-edged sword. It made our lives both easier and more burdensome. It makes our life convenience in life. For example, we can use all kinds of Electric appliances, TV, Air-condition, Washing machine and so on. We can takecar, bus, and plane when we go out, it saves us a lot of time and energy. At the same time, it takes us more burdensome. It gains more people in injury in traffic accident. And the technology let us relay on the Internet and have poor and poor in writing. High technology means need less people in factories and gains the number of unemployed persons.15. Today terrorism is a serious world problem. Do you have any suggestions for coping with it?When it comes to terrorism we will think of the terrible destruction ofthe World Trade Centre, on September 11th2001. This not only made Americans in sorrow,but also made the peopleall around the world inPanic. So we should take some way to stop it. At first, we should unite people in other countries Resist terrorist attacks. Tell the people how to distinguish the terrorists andhow to fight them. Secondly, we should strengthen our efforts to combat terrorist organizations.And The United Nations gain the money and people to coping with it. Thirdly, we should cultivate the young children have the sense of preventing terrorist attacks.16. If you have both time and money, what places would you like to visit most? Why?When I have enough time and money I prefer visiting the Jiangnan town. The reasons are as follows: firstly, it’s my dream to visit jiangnan town when I was young, Jiangnan is a symbol of beauty in my mind. Just like a princess surrounded by water. It has long history and it is very classical. Secondly, jiangnan town has its special characteristic，which attracts many Visitors. Almost all famous poems like to stay jiangnian town in ancient times. And there a large number of poems to appreciation the towns.Thirdly, you can see classical buildings, the ship with black canopy, arched bridge everywhere. When you go along the classical street, you would forget you are modern person. 徐振2013、6、24。

大学外语（四）口语题目及答案
大学外语（四）口语题目及答案1. Can a person rely on the welfare system for everything? Why? No, I think that he surely can’t rely on the welfare system for everything. Admittedly, the welfare system can help a person with some financial problems. Since a disabled person might not be able to work, the government can help give money to live. Nevertheless, money is not the only thing that a person needs in order to live. A person needs things ,such as excitement, strength, adventure and so on, for his soul. What’s more, everyone needs love, too. And a disabled person is not different. He needs these things and he must get them the same way that everyone else does. He must get them on his own. In all, a person can’t rely on the welfare system for everything.2. Should we ignore our friends and family for the sake of our own interests ?In my view, life can be very busy, and it is good to stop and think more about the importance of our close relationships. Of course we shouldn’t ignore our friends and family members. Even though we are caught up in wishes to change the world or something like that, we should all be careful how we act toward people close to us. The measures we should take are quite clear. Rather than world problems, we should focus on problems within ourselves. Are we kind enough? Are we generous enough? These are the questions we should ask.Following this, we should then try to make improvements, making ourselves better people. If we become good , we will then have a good influence on others, most on our family members and friends. They, our friends and family, must come before our own interests. We must love them whole-heartedly. We must findtheir needs and then work to satisfy those needs. We can have the best possible lives, if we put friends and family members before our interests.3. China has declared a war on corruption with a focus on corrupt government officials. Is it possible for China to end corruption?I am sure it is possible to end corruption because I believe in the Chinese people. Though there are exceptions, and those exceptions are causing problems now, I believe that most people are good and honest. What’s more, I believe that most Chinese people are brave. If asked by the government to watch out for and report corruption, most people will do so. They will report corruption wherever they see it. Then actions will be taken against corruption. Any plan that includes the Chinese people against corruption will work. I believe that ending corruption will be accomplished by China.4.Do you believe that people of different races are equal? Why?I am not a racist. So I believe people are all equal. First, groups are similar biologically. We all have the same basic features, but onlydiffer in very superficial ways, like color skin. Also, each group has a culture that has evolved and supported its people, sometimes for thousands of years. And related to this is that each one of these cultures, and each one of these people, is unique and, therefore, special. Each provides color to the world and makes the world a more interesting place.5. How long have you had your mobile phone and why do you choose it?Mobile phones benefit our lives a lot, obviously. First of all, itmakes the communications convenient. In the past, people write letters or send telegrams to get touch with others. Phones make the communication easier. When you miss someone, a piece of short message sent to his mobile phone will replace the long travel of thousands of miles. The long distance among people can be shortened by it. Secondly, the 21th century is a century of information. And the intelligence mobile phones bring great convenience to our internet-surfing. We can surf the internet to get information at anytime and anywhere. To get some knowledge on-line and your only need a few touches to your mobile phones, so as to listening to the radio. Thirdly, with the development of mobile phones, they becoming smaller, thinner and more beautiful, and this makes them more fashionable and convenient to carry on. Moreover,the functions of mobile phones are becoming more and more. They can use as alarm clocks, cameras, blotters, flashlights, music players and so on. More amazing and useful applications of mobile phones can be used. Last but not least, the industry of mobile phones can push the development of electronic industry, which can provide many jobs and make efforts to the prosperity of economy.6. Describe a book, a story or a movie you like most and its influence on your life.Oliver TwistHave you ever read Oliver Twist?What do you think it? T oday I want to share it with yours because it is like most on my life . Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens', is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century. The author who was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of thosecruel criminal s and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people's honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to bewarm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, theyattach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their 'kindness', they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.7. Can you tell us your experience of making an excuse because you were late or had forgotten to do something?A child, the most worried is that every time to sleep and see the teacher's strict eyes, this time when the brain is rapidly rotating, to find a reasonable excuse for being late. One day, I was late for school, Mr. Smith who was my teacher was very angry with me. I immediately apologized for being late, and explained that my mother was ill in bed, so I had to look after her. Then I promised not to be late again. Finally, Mr. Smith forgave me for my sincere apology. 8. You are going to tell experience about your last time you ate out at a restaurantLast night we went to eat in a little restaurant near our school. It was not a good time for us to get there as we could find a seat. So we had to wait for about half an hour in front of a table which was in use by four customers. When we sat down and started toorder from the menu ,we were told that three dishes we ordered were not available as the materials for these dishes were all used up. What adisappointment! We had no choice but to order a meat dish of spare-ribs and a vegetable dish of greens together with a bowl of rice for each of us. We were still hungry after the meal so we had to have some instant noodles after we returned to our dorm.9. Which city in your country attracts most visitors, why?As the captain of China, Beijing has been the most popular city of china. So more and more people want to visit Beijing. I think the best time to visit Beijing is spring ,for the weather of that time is very fine ,neither too hot nor too cold .The warm wind will make you feel happy. Many people visit Beijing for it's beautiful scene and cultural inheritance. If you want to have a enjoyable journey, I suggest you to pay a visit to the Great Wall, the Summer Palace ,the Olympic Park and many other place. When you feel tired after one day's journey ,you can taste the "Noodles with Soy Bean Paste", a kind of traditional food in Beijing. There are many other things you can do in Beijing, as shopping in the big shopping mall, visit the different kinds park ,visit the "Si He Yuan "and so Beijing is China's second largest city, after Shanghai. It is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and motorways passing through the city. It is also the focal point of many international flights to China. Beijing is recognized as the political, educational, and cultural center of the People's Republic of China, while Shanghai and HongKong predominate in economic fields. The city also has host the 2008 Summer Olympics.10. Please tell your experience about bargaining?Besides smiling a lot, it is important to keep the conversation going while actively pursuing your desired price. Keeping talking makes the seller feel more at ease and makes him/her confident that you are sincere with your offer. Don't ever go quiet, this makes the seller believe you have lost interest and he will no longer tend to your requests. Even if it's the perfect item, the moment the seller sees that wistful look in your eyes, they'll know they've got the upper hand. Appear interested, as if you're willing to buy the product if the price is right, but you can certainly live without it as well. Many people hesitate to haggle because they don't want to seem cheap. But are you really willing to pay top dollar just so you can preserve the esteem of total strangers? You're only meeting them this once, and you'll probably never meet them again. Even if you're shopping with people you know, they might raise an eyebrow when you start haggling, but they'll sure be jealous when you get a better price than they did! When the seller makes an offer that is almost what you want, look distressed and say "Oh, okay. Well, let me ask my husband/wife/mother/father. I've been dying to get one of these for months now, but they keep saying it's too expensive." If you have acell phone, pull it out and call your partner in crime, or even fake the call if you have to: "Yes, but it's what I've been looking for...I don't know...OK...Yes, fine..." End your call, turn to the seller, and say "I can buy it for..." giving a price that is slightly below what they've offered. A lot of times, offering cash upfront will entice a retailer to meet your price. Split your cash in increments so that you can show the seller the money you're offering without them seeing how much more money you have sitting in your wallet.。
