离我家不远的地⽅有⼀个地铁站,⼀般我都是坐地铁上下班的。

2011级大学英语口试备考资料
Part I Passages for Reading Aloud or /RecitationSmokingIt is almost known to all that smoking is bad for people's health. Scientific research show that smoking can lead to heart disease, cancer and other problem. The World Health Organization says diseases linked to smoking kill at least two million five-hundred-thousand persons each year.Still, many people find it difficult to stop smoking. One reason is that smoking usually becomes a habitual behavior, and habits, whether good or bad are not easy to be given up. Another reason is the effect of nicotine, the substance found in cigarettes works on people somewhat as drugs do.Measures have been taken to help people keep away from the harm of smoking. In many cities, smoking is forbidden in public places. The danger of smoking is warned of everywhere. And newspapers are asked not to publish advertisements for cigarettes. World "No Tobacco Day" is observed every year as the biggest campaign against smoking.My First JobBefore I started at university, I took my first job as a waitress in a nice restaurant. At the night before my first day, I was too excited to go to sleep and as a result, I got up late in the morning. I threw on my clothes and rushed over to the restaurant.In a great hurry, I didn't hear clearly the head waiter's instruction that we should go into the kitchen through one door and out from the other. So when I took two plates of eggs and bacon and an orange juice out to the restaurant, I went straight towards the wrong door and collided with another waiter coming in!Worst of all was that I wore a pair of smart shoes but with high heels! A few hours later I was in agony yet had no time to change them. By the time we finished serving dinner at about 10:30 I was completely exhausted. Nevertheless, I learnt something through my experience.The Battle Against AIDSJoin us in The Battle Against AIDS now. Everyone can play a part!The Battle Against AIDS puts us all on the same side. No disease on the face of the earth does more harm than AIDS, and there is no enemy in war more terrible than AIDS. Combating this awful disease is a life and death struggle.One thing that you can do is join an organization that works towards ending this epidemic. Organizations around the world not only offer people the opportunity to work with doctors and researchers, they also offer a chance to work with others. You can improve AIDS education by banding out literature about AIDS. Or you can write letters to government leaders, pressing them to support AIDS research.MoneyMoney is what everybody desires. It can be used to buy food, clothes, books, bicycle, furniture and many other things people need or want.Money is considered by many people as the most important thing in life. With money, they can go wherever they please and do whatever they want. With money, they can buy a fine house to live in, fashionable clothes to put on, and a nice bicycle to ride. And with money, they can employ attendants to serve them. In a word, money can make people comfortable and bring them happiness.However, money is also the source of all crimes and brings them misery. Since money is so tempting, quite a few people are attracted by it and begin to go astray. By hook or by crook, they try to make money. To get more money, they gamble, swindle, steal, rob or do many other evil things, for "money makes the mare go". As a result, money leads them to jail or even to the execution grounds.Of course money is useful and desirable, yet we should make money in proper way and spend our money on proper things.My View on OpportunityDifferent people have different views on opportunity. It is held that there are few opportunities. But it is also held that there are opportunities everywhere.Those who hold the first opinion think that there are too many people and there is always an intense competition for limited opportunities. In contrast, those who hold the second view think that if one is not prepared, he can hardly have any opportunities: however, if one is prepared, he can have a lot of opportunities.As to me, I agree with the latter. Admittedly, there is really an intense competition for limited opportunities, but it is not to say the one can't create opportunities himself. In most cases opportunities are created by people themselves. For example, many people lost their jobs in recent years. Some people wait for opportunities in vain. However, others create opportunities themselves and get self-employed. Eventually they become employers themselves.Therefore, to some extent, one can take his destiny into his own hands.Why Do We Attend UniversityWhen we consider why we should attend universities, different people have different ideas. In some students' eyes, studying in universities means a bright future after graduation. They think they are bound to find good jobs with a good college education. However, life in the colleges and the jobs that they can find are usually somewhat disappointing.Especially under the severe competition of today's society, it is not very easy for a college graduate to find a satisfying job. As far as I am concerned, universities can provide good study opportunities and essential facilities for those who want to acquire knowledge for the construction of our country, and this is the reason why we attend universitiesThe Generation GapNowadays many young people are complaining that their parents can not understand them very well. They say that their parents take care of every aspect of their lives leaving them a neighbor to have their private space yet parents are worried that their children don't show any respect to them and never give them any trust.Consequently the household phrase spreading it is the generation gap. By using this phrase both the young and the old have found a good explanation for their misunderstanding of each other. Yet they don't bother to take any measures to cover the distance between them.In my opinion I think we should first admit that there are indeed some differences between parents and children then we should try to take some time to communicate with each other frequently. Not only the parents but also the kids should be equal when they're exchanging their views. Only by the joint efforts can the parents and children breach the generation gap between them.The importance of waterOf all the things we eat and drink, water is the most important. We can live without food for many days, but two or three days without water, usually makes people die.However, not all of people understand this. They keep throwing rubbish into the rivers or lakes. Some factories even pour waste water into the river. As a result, many rivers and lakes have become so dirty that the water is no longer safe for people to drink.Let’s do our best to keep the water clean to save ourselves.Passage NineA young man with AIDS refuses to take medicine that could make his life longer and more comfortable, because he’s afraid the medicine will kill him. Incorrect beliefs about AIDS are common, and they cause greater pain and help to spread the disease.This is why the United Nations sends educators to the world’s poorest places, where people have the least education about AIDS. Once there, they talk with people, giving classes and meeting in clinics to discuss living with AIDS. They tell people what doctors have discovered about the disease, and ask them to trust AIDS medicines.In order to stop the spread of AIDS, education must reach more people. It is not enough only for money to be spent. And more medicines won’t solve all of the problems.Passage TenThere are simple rules for an interview, and it seems that everyone knows them.

An Introduction to AdvertisingAdvertising has become increasingly specialized in modern times. In today’s business world, supply usually outnumbers demand. There is great competition among different manufacturers of the same kind of product to attract customers to their product. They always have to remind the consumer of the name and the qualities of their product. They do this by advertising. The manufacturers advertise in the newspapers and on posters. They sometimes pay for songs about their product in commercial radio programs. They employ attractive salesgirls to distribute samples. They organizes competitions, with prizes for the winners. They often advertise on the screens of local cinemas. Most important of all, in countries that have television, they have advertisements put into programs that will accept them. Manufacturers often spend large sums of money on advertisements. Sometimes they even spend more on ads than on the products themselves. We usually think so because of the advertisements that say so.

Am I 100 percent polar bear? No brown bear or panda bear?”“Son, I’m 100 percent polar bear and your mother is 100 percent polar bear, so you’re certainly 100 percent polar bear.”A few minutes passed, and the son polar bear again turned to his father and asked, “Dad, don’t worry.

A Model’s Description of Her WorkBefore the fashion show started, we had a rehearsal. In a small room we were each given a space. A dresser got us into the fashion clothes, then an assistant checked that the style was right—the correct number of buttons undone, the trousers pulled to the right height. Once dressed, we queued up in order by the door. The fashion designer checked that the clothing was as the he wanted. The music started, and we went out. We posed for the photographers, turned and walked back. It was a breeze. I walked back into the room, too excited to realize I was meant to hurry. In the few steps from the door you can throw off quite a few layers of clothing. By failing to do so, I almost missed my next turn.At 8:30p.m., with the audience in place, we were back in the clothes. We went out again, to a full house. The music was loud, but clear. Y ou could hear the talking—fashion shows are not theatre, and people don’t keep quiet. Journalists discuss what to write about; buyers discuss whether they can make a profit from the clothes. And although you have been chosen for your looks that are suitable for certain dresses, as a model, you are just an advertisement for the designer. So you walk through conversations, unable to stop or react. Y ou are not a creative human being, just a smiling doll.Q1: Can you describe the model’s work briefly in your own words?Q2: Do you think the speaker is proud of modeling? Why or why not?5. An Introduction to Credit CardsCredit cards are plastic cards issued by a bank or other financial institutions allowing the holder to buy goods and service without using cash. Many American don’t like to carry much cash. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use.Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants.Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy. When you use a credit card, the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased. At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying. If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest on the amount that you do not pay.Q1: Why are credit cards so popular?Q2: What is the advantage of a credit card?Q3: When you receive a bill from your credit card company, how much can you pay immediately?6. Who stole the vase?Amy, the richest woman in town, threw a party. It was crowded and turned out to be a huge success, until about 12:00 a.m. That’s when Amy noticed that her valuable vase was missing from the entry hall table. When the police chief arrived, he asked each visitor to make a statement. Phillip McDonald stepped forward, saying, “I was one of the first to arrive, about the same time as Julie Becker. I never once left the house. If people don’t remember me, it’s because I spent most of time in a bedroom, watching a basketball game.” The chief took down what Phillip’s said, then told him he could go. Rod Bush was the next. He also claimed that he had never left the house, though he did step out onto a second story balcony, but it was so cold that he came back in immediately. Julie Becker was the third to make a statement. She also claimed never to have left orseen anything. “I spent much of the party moving from group to group and eating the various tables.” The chief told her to leave, too, and watched as she went into the hall and took her coat from the top of a crowded coat rack. Now the chief started to suspect one of the three guests.Q1: Who was Amy and what did she find after 12:00 a.m.?Q2: Whom did the police chief suspect?

2011年雅思口语Part1新题解析!—Happiness (转载自王冬老师)
2011年雅思口语Part1新题解析!—Happiness (转载自王冬老师)2011-07-15 21:50 (分类:转载)1. What do you think, "happiness" is? 你对幸福的定义是什么?Happiness is a fleeting feeling that mankind always yearns to have.Happiness is self defined.....There is no universal definition.I would define happiness as the fulfillment of our desires. First we want something, then we seek it, and eventually we get fulfilled by it.Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon youHappiness is such a blessing with which everyone is blessed. But people don't realize that thing. They always surround themselves with unhappiness and problems and then later blame it on god and to their destiny that happiness never comes their way.2. Do you think happiness is very important? 幸福重要么?Happiness it is not acquired or gained...it's something that is deep inside.The fundamental reason why happiness is so important is that it’s extremely vital to our own goals in life and can help us achieve many other cherished personal ambitions and goals.3. What do you think makes people feel happy? 是何使人幸福?Many people make the mistake of believing that they don’t deserve happiness and accept their unhappy state as their destiny. The truth of the matter is that happiness, like anything else in life, needs to be nurtured.Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded bypeople who think that way. Conversely, if you are around people who are happy their emotional state will be infectious.Finding the humor in situations can also lead to happiness.For happiness to be attained, it’s important to be open and willing to the concept that it can be attained. For us to do this, we need to rid ourselves of the negative energies which occur in our lives on a regular basis4. Do you think money plays an important part in people's happiness? 金钱对幸福是否有很大影响?No, I don't think it is the key to happiness. All money can do is to give you more opportunities to enjoy material items, entertainment, and ease the burden that relates to stress and bills.Well, I know that if I had a lot of money I sure would be a lot happier! But it couldn't keep me happy forever.5. Do you think people's wealth and their happiness are related? 财富与幸福是否有关?Money and happiness , in anyplace at any time to anybody , the two always have countless ties .金钱和幸福,在任何地方任何时间对于任何人而言,两者总是有千丝万缕的关系。
