Worst, many students are absorbed in the virtual world so much that they neglect their studying. A: Um…. Internet Security has become the hottest topic recently since the cyber(网络的) crime has become one of the most serious problems in our society. Our personal information, some business or political secret can be exposed easily by hackers. The governments should draftrelevant laws to prevent the crime.

When I was a child, I often went to the circus in the zoo with my parents. i can see mainly tigers, dolphins, birds, and lions there A sounds interesting. But can you share some unforgettable experience with me?B loopA So what do you think of this behavior?B Well, I don‟t think it‟s ethical to use animals in circuses for entertainment.A Why?B First of all, the training for those animals in the circus can be quite cruel.A When the animals can‟t behave very well, people will punish thoseanimals.Secondly, the human aren‟t the leader of the nature, so we should respect animals, and treat them fairly. We should think about the animal‟s feeling. Finally, some kinds of animals performing in the circus are in danger, we should protect them instead of using them as a tool of earning money or abusing them.A I can‟t agree with you more. So we should make contributions to the protection of these animals, right?B Yes, but what can we do?A We can reduce the times of going to the circus, and persuade people not to go to the circus.B You‟ve got the point! What‟s more, we can give advices to the leaders of the circus. And talk to the supervisor.A that‟s absolutely right.

As a college student, what do you study for, the ability to pass exams, or the ability to learn?A Hello, FRED, the final exams are coming, every student is preparing for it. But do you think we college students study just to pass exams?B No, I don’t think so. Exam s are just a way to test yourself. We should set goals for ourselves to learn more useful knowledge and the ability to learn it by ourselves. In my opinion, we study for the ability to learn.A I think so, there are much knowledge we need to learn, which we can’t handle in a short time. But if we cover the ability to learn, we can learn the new things more easily.B I can’t agree any more. What’ more, th rough the process of gaining the ability to learn, we improve our qualities, and become more quick-witted.A So, we shouldn’t regard the exams as the final goal of study, we should have a long-term sight.B Yes, but in china the main way to evaluate a student is examing, so some students are pushed to study the strategies by which you can easily pass the exams. Some students even lose the interests of studying.A Yeah, that’s really sad to hear that. But our country is tr ying to change the current situation; we should have a faith in the bright future for the young generation.B And as for us, we should behave as models for them, by studying hard, and study for the ability to learn.A I’m happy to talk with you today!B Me too.6.Every year, many students in China go abroad, believing that overseasstudy will be very rewarding. But some people are against studying abroad. What‟s your opinion?A: How is everything going recently?B: oh, quite well. I‟m preparing for a speech of whether we should study abroad or not. And can you give me some advice?A: No problem, in fact, I am concerned about it recently, too. In my opinion, studying abroad is a chance to gain more experience and knowledge. What about you?B: I am against studying abroad. I addmit that studying abroad is a chance to gain more experience and knowledge. But since the swift development of China while most of the Western countries are suffered from the financial crisis and experience the recession, staying in China may be better.A: Well, although the financial crisis has revealed a lot of problems in capitalist(资本主义的) society, there are still a lot of advantage we should learn. For example, food security has become a hot topic in China since Sanlu Incident broke out. But why these kind incidentsdidn’t happen in other countries? Obviously, their supervision mechanisms(机制) are more comprehensive and rigorous(严格). Improving various management mechanism is the responsibility of next generation.B: Failure is the mother of success. Accumulate experience and learn from mistakes are the key to the final success.A: What’s more, studying abroad is an opportunity for global training and experience outside China. And studying abroad also provide working chance which offer higher status and better prospects then domestic(国内的civil) companies.B: I don’t quite agree with you. The best immediate and long-term career development is likely to be found in one of the world’s fastest-growing-economy that is right at home China. And you know? We shouldn’t encourage students to go abroad. First, the high cost may not be afforded by every student. Second, many Chinese talents stay abroad after graduated from college, which may cause Chinese brain drain.A: So you think many Chinese talents will stay abroad and work for multinational corporations?Now let me ask you a question. If the academic and working condition in China are better than other countries, why do they prefer to stay abroad? I have some friends who study abroad. I found that theyprefer to study abroad for the open academic atmosphere. They can discuss freely, even debate with their teachers about their questions. B: Since the combination between Chinese and Western College is getting tighter, the academic atmosphere in China is also more inclusive(包容的) than in the past decade. As a result, students stay in China can also experience the open academic atmosphere. Besides, there are more foreign students come to China and study. Chinese traditional culture is much diversified(多元化), which is very attractive for them. It shows that studying in China will also be a great experience. So why our Chinese students eager to study abroad so much? I have to say directly that many Chinese students studying abroad don’t know their own cultural at all but they are eager to learn foreign culture. I don’t mean that foreign cultural isn’t worth learning. But since the Internet reinforce the trend of globalization, we can search the Internet and learn from foreign countries easily. We can do distance learning by the Internet. So studying abroad isn’t so necessary.A: Well, I think we will never reach a consensus. Just like every coin has its two sides, studying abroad also has its advantages and disadvantages.7.In this increasingly internationalized world, festivals and traditionsalso become universal. More often than not, you can see western festivals like Christmas being celebrated in China. What‟s your thought on it?A: Christmas is the most important festival in western countries. More Chinese celebrate Christmas now. However, do Chinese know the meaning behind the Christmas? I wonder it. It is not just a holiday when people go shopping and send gifts crazily, eat big meal, and decorate a Christmas tree. Christmas is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ celebrated generally on December 25 as a religious and cultural holiday. Since I grown up in church, I know the real meaning of this holiday. But most of the Chinese just celebrate it for fun. In my opinion, not only Chinese but also billions of people around the world should know the meaning first before they celebrate it.B: I can totally understand your feeling, but I have different opinion on Chinese celebrating Christmas. As a member of global village, we should respect their culture. Not knowing the meaning behind the holiday doesn’t mean we don’t respect them. Since this is a internationalized world, holiday also become a treasure of people all over the world. So we can also celebrate it with them. Don’t you think billions of people celebrate Christmas is another way of cultural of diffusion?A: What do you mean?B: Actually, not all of the Chinese don’t know the meaning behind it. Just as you, you know it vry well and you are christian. It means you know a part of western culture.A: I admitted that. Not only Christmas but also other holiday, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving are celebrated people around the world. And Chinese traditional festivals are also celebrated by foreigns now. There are many festivities in New York, San Francisco and LA on the Spring Festival. Although there are usually hold in China town, many foreigners celebrate it with the local Chinese. They know more about our culture by the Spring Festival. Festival and traditions are really the symbol of culture. They are people’s treasure which we should not only respect but also inherit.B: So celebrating the holiday from other countries is an irresistible trend of globalization, including celebrating Christmas.8.What do you think is the worst (man-made or natural) disaster? Howcould we prepare ourselves for it?A: have you ever heard that the earthquake in Japan made people lose their lives?B: wow, that's incredible, the earthquake is so terrible!A:Yes, the worst disaster on the earth. It's unpredictable and destructive.B:so do you know how can we prepare ourselves for it?A: we need to improve building structures and prepare our houses.B: i agree with you, these are particularly necessary for those who live in areas where earthquake are common.A:and what's more,to prepare ourselves, if possible, we cab have earthquake survival supplies including a radio receiver, a torch extra batteries.B:Do you mean first aid supplies? I suppose we need to have warm clothing and a tent as well.A: and keep a fire extinguisher handy, at home, at work, and in our own car.B then how about family members? Don't we need to have some earthquake emergency plans?A:of course. Everyone should agree on a meeting point outside of an area, perhaps in a town several miles away.B:what should i do if I want to communicate with my family if there's an earthquake?A: well, It dosen't matter, you can call to check in with a relative who lives more than a hundred mils away.B:seems like a sensible arrangement! These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes.A: absolutely! So don't forget to put them into practice.B: surely we will.9.There is a growing concern over cloning in modern society. Are youfor or against it? State your reasons.A:Against:Cloning is a radical challenge to the most fundamental laws of biology, so it's reasonable to be concerned that it might be a preface to activities that will threaten human society and dignity.Yet much of the moral opposition seems also to grow out of an automatic, unthinking disgust.This refusal to consider the issue logically makes it hard for even trained scientists and other experts to see the matter clearly.While human cloning might not offer great benefits to humanity, no one has yet made a convincing case that it would do any real harm, either.Conservative spiritual leaders have claimed that cloning a human constitutes a gross attack on human dignity.That would surely be true if a cloned individual were treated as a lesserbeing, with fewer rights or lower status.B:But why suppose that the laws that protect our rights and dignity would not be applicable to cloned persons?A:A leading lawyer has suggested that cloning would violate the "right to a unique genetic identity".B:Where did he come up with such a right?A:It makes perfect sense to say that adult persons have a right not to be cloned without their voluntary , informed consent .B:But if such consent were given, whose "right" to genetic identity would be violated?A:Many of the vivid warnings of science fiction concerning the prospect of human cloning turn out, upon reflection , to be wildly mprobable .B:There's the fear, for instance, that parents might clone a child for the sake of having " surplus parts" in case the original child needs an organ transplant.A:But parents of identical twins don't view one child as an organ farm for the other.Why should cloned children's parents be any different?B:Another disturbing thought is that cloning will lead to efforts to breed individuals with genetic qualities perceived as desirable (math geniuses, soccer players, etc.).Such ideas are offensive, not only because of an unthinking disgust, but also because of the horrors carried out by the Nazis in the name of improving their race.But there's a vast difference between the breeding programs as practiced by some groups (where the urge to breed certain types of people leads to efforts to destroy other types) and the much more harmless forms already practiced in democratic societies (where, say, lawyers freely choose to have sexual relations with other lawyers). Banks stocked with the frozen sperm of geniuses already exist, but they haven't created a master race because few women are queuing up to get pregnant this way.A:Why should we think it would be different if human cloning becomes available?A:So who will likely take advantage of cloning?B:Perhaps a couple whose child is dying.This might seem psychologically suspect, but a cloned child born to such suspect parents stands no greater or lesser chance of being loved, or rejected, than a child created the normal way.Infertile couples are also likely to seek out cloning.That such couples have other options ( artificially bringing egg and sperm together, or adopting a child) is not an argument for denying them the right to clone.Or consider an example raised by Judge Richard Posner: a couple in which the husband has some unfortunate genetic defect . Currently, if this couple wants a genetically related child, they have four not altogether pleasant options.They can reproduce naturally and resign themselves to the risk of passing on the disease to the child.They can go to a sperm bank and take a chance on unknown genes. They can bring egg and sperm together artificially and dispose of any affected baby before placing it in the mother, or before birth—though that might be objectionable, too.Or, they can get a male relative of the father to be a sperm donor, if such a relative exists.This is one case where even people bothered by creating a child under the lens of a microscope might not see cloning as the worst option.A:Even if human cloning offers no obvious benefits to mankind, why ban it?In a democracy we don't usually pass laws against something before there is actual or probable evidence of harm.Before we go any further, it might make sense to require a temporary pause on research into human cloning in order to make a systematic enquiry into the grave questions it raises.When research into cloning is resumed , human cloning should remain a research activity for an extended period.And if it is ever attempted, it should—and no doubt will—take place only under careful examination and layers of legal administration . Most important, human cloning should be governed by the same laws that now protect human rights.A world that is not safe for cloned humans would be a world that is not safe for the rest of us.10.W ould you sign a premarital agreement with your future husband orwife? Why or why not? Give examples or reasons to support your opinion.A: Yes, I will. Because divorce rate is getting higher and financial disputeis usually the critical problem, to sign a premarital agreement can avoid getting trouble in the process of divorce.B: Why are you so pessimistic about your future marriage? Why don’t you think you and your future husband will be the prince and princess in the fairy tales , living happily? For me, to sign a prenuptial agreement is unnecessary. It may take the romance out of the marriage.A: Yeah, I know. But as a precaution. For example, recently the Hong Kong property billionaire’s son has to hand over 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars to his ex-wife, because he dismissed his father advise of signing a prenuptial agreement in 2000. It must be an action Samathur Li most regret.B: Well, maybe I should think deeply about it after knowing the news. Oh! You are right! Signing a prenup will be necessary for nowaday couples. I have read a news that Americans are taking a cautious approach to marriage and are seeking more prenuptial agreements before walking down the aisle. It said that it is not just the wealthy and famous who are looking to safeguard their assets when a marriage crumbles. More middle-class couples are opting for prenups, which can also include adultery clauses, protection of retirement benefits and even custody of the dog, accroding to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawers. A: There is a odd phenomenon occuring worldwide. Many couples get married because of money, car and house. Have you ever seen a TVprogram named “Fei Cheng Wu Rao”?B: Of course. Many single men and women go to that program and want to find their Mrs. Right or Mr. Right. However, the most important standard is usually having a car and a house.A: That’s right. Many couples’ marriage are based on material instead of the emotion, their love. As a result, divorce rate has become higher and higher, and signing a prenup in oreder to avoid some financial problem is necessary.B: Yeah. It is a planning tool. Given that half of marriages end in divorce it makes sense to plan. It is reported an increase in prenups in the last five years, more than half said more women are seeking the legal agreements. More women are working now than in previous decades and they are earning higher salaries. In our historically male-dominated culture women didn't control money and now they need to plan as much as the men. More women have more assets these days and have more control over funds.B: In addition, a prenup can save a couple from a terrible marriage. A couple should make sure how much each of them should pay for the housing loan. Besides, a couple can make an agreement on some problems, such as parents supporting, whether to live with their parents after getting married. Having a baby or not usually cause quarrel between a newly-married couple. So making an agreement on whetherhaving a baby or not has a positive affect on a happy marriage. What’s more, who should teach the child or children is also improtent. For instance, my parents had made a parol agreement before I born. So even if my father thinks my mom is too strict with me sometimes, he has never speak for me. Because it is clear that the power of teaching is mastered by my mother in the agreement. So far, they have never argue about this topic.A: And just like what you said at the beginning, signing a prenup may take the romance out of the prenup. But If the couple live happily and never think about divorce such a awful word, how can it have a negative affect on the happy marriage? On the other hand, you can regard the prenuptial agreement as a safeguard of the happy marriage in the future. If you really think it will take the romance out fo the marriage, you can sign it and then store it in the drawer and never look at it again.。

But don't assume that your cloned kitty will be exactly the same as the one you know and love. 4. Cloning Humans?To clone or not to clone: that is the question. The prospect of cloning humans is highly controversial and raises a number of ethical, legal and social challenges that need to be considered. We may have the technology to clone humans but we should not do it before we accept cloned humans.Should human cloning be banned?Pros:•To allow an infertile couple to have a child•To bring back a child killed in an accident•To replicate the talents of exceptional human beings•Out of curiosity or to attempt some sort of immortality•To obtain a supply of stem cellsCons:•the high rate of health problems in cloned animals and developing embryo•Raise a variety of social issues. A clone will never be identical to the genetic donor because environmental differences will influence the clone’s development.•the divide between the wealthy and the poor could widen farther than ever imagined1.What was the special happening on the afternoon of July 5, 1996?The first artificially produced sheep was born in Scotland.2. There is no celebration or excitement about the birth of Dolly, the first cloned animal. What does it suggest?As we know from the text that there is neitherbig celebration nor massive coverage for the birth of Dolly. The creator of Dolly, Wilmut, didn’t feel slightly excited about his achievement either. The low-key tone about thecloned sheep suggests that the public holds a calm and cautious attitude towards this wholematter, for we are now forced to face the possibility and danger raised by this scientific breakthrough--- the cloning of human being.3.What is the significance of the birth of Dolly?The birth of Dolly has great significance in the history of cloning. Before the birth of Dolly, cloning is regarded as kind of fantasy in science fictions or movies. With Dolly’s entry into the world, the “fantasy”becomes“reality” and the possibility of cloning human seems higher.4.How was the sheep created?It was created out of the genetic material from an udder cell of 6-year old sheep.But the ordinary sheep was produced out of the union of a sperm and an egg.5.Is Dolly identical to the original sheep or its “mother”?Y es, they are identical “twins”. They can be said to be twin “sisters”, not mother & daughter.6.What’s Wilmut’s attitude towards the cloning of humans?He thinks that technically speaking, it’s highly possible to clone humans. It would be another scientific breakthrough. Nothing is wrong with that. But morally speaking, we find the idea ofhuman cloning undesirable out of ethical and moral consideration.7.Does human cloning bring us more advantages over disadvantages?It depends. If it is properly applied within laws,it will bring us more advantages over disadvantages.8.Why are people fascinated by cloning?If there were no moral problems or legal problems, people could make an exact copy of their genetic selves.9.What could be the questions or problems raised by cloning?Like a double-edged sword, the cloning could both bring us benefits and danger. Then the first question would be whether we should encourage the experiment of cloning or not. How far is it allowed to go? The second question would be whether or not we should interfere with the normal creative process of the nature? Do we really want that power to control the process? The third one would be how we define human beings or life? Should we give the cloned people the same right or identity?10.What message does the poem carry?This poem throws some light on the psychological reason for the desire of cloning humans. As reflected in this poem, we love our children for they are like ourselves. Out of the very same reason, we may have the intention to create someone who is exactly another copy of us.11.What does the old joke suggest?It shows us that the normal means of reproduction is out of our control and a child is totally an unpredictable mixing of genes of his parents.12.What does Oppenheimer’s experience tell us about scientists or science?His experience shows us that today’s scientists are faced with a dilemma: the pursuit of perfect scientific progress and the possible evil consequence it may bring to the human being. It’s impossible to carry on research simply for the sake of scientific curiosity while ignoring its realistic consequence.13.What potential does cloning have for medicine?It offers the possibility of organ transplants, the potential for developing “spare body parts”, which could help those people who suffer from the diseased organs or malfunctioning body process.14.What is the author’s attitude towards cloning?The author holds a positive attitude toward cloning. His is in favor of doing research on cloning and thinks that some worry about the cloning technology is unnecessary and going too far.。

1-5单元大学英语视听说第三册口语考试答案
大学英语视听说第三册口语考试答案unit 11.What factors may weaken one's memory?It is often reported that long-term poor nutrition may affect the functioning of the brain, thus damaging both the long-term and short-term memory. Also harmful to one's memory is lack of water. Elderly people need plenty of water to guarantee their memory works. A third factor is lack of sleep. Without enough sleep, one may feel tired and have difficulty concentrating, not to mention learning things by heart.2. Can you describe some possible advantages of having a poor memory?A poor memory may have some advantages. With the passage of time, the sad memories will fade. Those with a short memory tend to recover faster than those with a tenacious memory. For the same reason, forgetful people may be more ready to forget their daily worries and forgive others for their offenses. With a less retentive mind, they may enjoy life more.3. What can you do to make sure all your relatives and friends are on the guest list for your birthday party?First of all, I would check my address book and tick the names of those I intend to invite. Then, to avoid possible omissions, I would ask some of my close relatives, friends and colleagues to look at my initial list of names. They might suggest one or two additions. In this way, I can reduce the chances of missing those I should invite.4. How do you ensure important phone numbers are always at your fingertips?I usually remember my close relatives and friends' phone numbers through frequent use. But my memory cannot always be trusted. In this case, a mobile phone is extremely useful because it can store many phone numbers. But when the batteries run down, the mobile phone can't help either. So I also rely on my address book. To play safe, I prefer to have two address books. I take one with me and leave the other at home. Thus I can always find the number I need.Unit2：1.What subject do you like best? What made you like it: your personal interests, the teacher, the practical applications of the course in the future, etc.?I like physics best, though many classmates find it hard. A lotof factors led me to like this subject. As early as in high school, I was amazed at the laws scientists like Newton and Einstein discovered. What they found out changed the world. Luckily, my physics teacher at this university is excellent. He is knowledgeable and patient. Just because of him, I'm willing to spend lots of my spare time on this subject. Most importantly, what I have learned from the physics course will be of great help in landing a good job. Nowadays many companies think physics majors often have a solid academic foundation and can easily adapt themselves to a wide variety of positions.2. Do you think it is necessary?Some parents believe that by doing a lot of difficult math problems, their children will have a solid foundation in math. Some parents even believe that trying to solve hard math problems will promote the growth of children's brains and help develop their logical reasoning ability and concentration, which will facilitate learning in other areas. On the other hand, many people believe that it is unnecessary and unnatural for children to study difficult math problems. Some people even believe that strict math training harms children's moral and physical development. Fierce competition may dampen the spirit of teamwork, which is so important in the contemporary world.3. What study habits seem to be common among successful students?Many top students seem to have these good study habits: They tend to have a strong sense of time and organize their time well. They may draw up their study plan well in advance. While studying, they check whether they are working ahead of schedule or lagging behind it. They usually work in a systematic way. Before class, they preview the text to get some idea about what the teacher is going to say and which part of the text is difficult. In class, they listen attentively, take notes of the main points of the lecture, and ask questions when they don't understand. After class, they review what they have learned. By going through the text and the notes, they can remember important information.4. How to prevent students' cheating in examinations?First, the administrators must adopt severe measures to punish that disgraceful practice. In the case of serious offenders, it is not enough just to give them an F. They must repeat the whole year, or even be expelled from school. Second, it is more important for teachers to enforce the university rules strictly. When they see students cheating, they should not turn a blind eye to it.Unit3：1.What do you think are the things that contribute to a successful marriage?The success of a marriage is due to many factors, of which love is obviously the most important one. Other factors, which are not entirely unrelated to love, include shared values and interests, mutual understanding, commitment, effective communication, similar educational background, equal economic status, physical fitness, etc. With the same values and moral standards, friends may develop into lifelong partners. After marriage, there needs to be a commitment to one another, and to the well-being and development of the family. Similar educational background and intelligence levels are also considered important by some people. They believe that only with mutual appreciation and understanding, can the couple get along easily and happily.2. Why do people get divorced? Can you guess some of the reasons? Sometimes it is because the couple did not really understand each other before the marriage, as love was blind at that time. After marriage, they see each other's shortcomings more clearly. When disappointment grows beyond control, divorce becomes inevitable. Sometimes it is because one of the couple haschanged after the marriage. For example, after the husband is promoted to a leading position, he may have a hectic time all year round, with hardly any time left to be with his wife. Sometimes one of the couple has lost his or her job and becomes irritable. Due to the continual quarrelling at home, the family breaks up.3. What do you think of the lives of single mothers?Most people look upon single mothers with sympathy. Single mothers have to support their children on their own. They may find it difficult to provide their children with all the luxuries children of two-parent families enjoy. Worse still, they may be under great psychological pressure. Moreover, their children may develop a sense of inferiority. When they see other children are bathed in the love of both parents, they may feel bitterly disappointed.4. What is your view of the fact that the wife's housekeeping duties remain the same even when she works outside? What could be the solution?If the wife works during the day just like the husband, then it is obviously unfair for the wife to shoulder all the housekeeping duties. If the husband can share the householdchores with the wife, the love between them can be strengthened. Unfortunately, influenced by tradition, many men are unwilling to do housework, thinking it to be unmanly. If we want to change the situation, the media had better give more publicity to "model husbands" who assume a large part of those duties. Gradually, people may change their image of a husband who constantly sits in front of the TV, watching football games or international news. Also, the development of modern technology and the appearance of more modern conveniences will further lighten the housekeeping burden. Thus the problem of who should do the housework will become less important.Unit4：1.What do you think people will choose: a low-paid job one likes, or a boring well-paid job?I think many people prefer to find a job that they really like. After all, most people want to enjoy themselves rather than have plenty of money without a sense of achievement and happiness. On the other hand, some people may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their heart to earn more money. If one is in serious financial difficulty, one can hardly afford the luxury of a dream job. Money is the top priority.2. Do you think one's character is important in finding a job? Why or why not?I think it is. Although many employers lay emphasis on candidates' educational background and work experience, some believe that candidates' character is equally important for a successful career. In contemporary society, many projects are so large that they require the coordination of a group of people rather than a single person's effort. Therefore, a good team player is often welcomed. Professionally skilled people may not be able to accomplish a large project if they are easily angered and cannot get along with their colleagues. If you want to assume a leading position, you should be firm on important issues while allowing your subordinates plenty of freedom. In fact, it is becoming increasingly common for companies to test candidates' EQ (emotional quotient) before they decide to hire them.3. What courses are useful for one's job?In fact all courses may turn out to be useful in our future careers. The basic courses we take in the first two years of university lay a solid foundation for our future development. In the case of computer majors, for example, the math they have learned will enhance their ability for logical reasoning. TheEnglish courses they have followed will help them read the literature in their fields with greater ease. Art courses may increase their sense of balance and beauty. However, the courses in their specialties are often of greater relevance and value for their career development. For instance, computer majors may find courses such as programming, computer network, database, and CAD (Computer Aided Design) more closely related to their future work.4. What questions do you think are often asked in an interview? Why are they asked?To start with, the interviewers may ask you about your education. In this way they can gather information to see if you have acquired the basic knowledge required for the job you are applying for. Perhaps most of them will ask you about your work experience in this field to see if you have the necessary skills for the job you have in mind. Usually employers do not like an entirely inexperienced employee. They may also ask about your character, weaknesses and strengths to find out what kind of person you are. They may even ask you something that is not directly related to the job in question. Your answers tend to show your intelligence level and communication skills.Unit 5：1.Do you want to be a boss who is starting a company or an employee with a high salary?Different people may have different choices. Some people may put a regular job above good pay for a variety of reasons. Employees usually know what they are supposed to do and have a fairly stable life. With a high-paying job, they and their families can live a comfortable life. When they have accumulated enough money, they can start a business when conditions are favorable. On the other hand, many people want to set up a business of their own right now. Indeed, launching a company involves a lot of effort. What is worse, there is risk. But they like challenges. By trying to establish a company, not only may they make lots of money, they can also develop their abilities to overcome difficulties.2. What kind of boss would you like to work for: one who is inefficient but kind, or one who is efficient but very strict with employees?Many people, if not most, prefer to work for a kind,good-natured boss. Under such a boss, they feel secure and happy. The boss won't scold employees simply because they have made a small mistake. He will also be generous. It is true thatsometimes because of his lack of ability, his company may not reap huge profits, and employees can hardly get a raise. But happiness is surely more important than money. However, some people, including me, will choose to work for a boss who is capable but very strict with his subordinates. If the boss is capable, he will lead the company to one new height after another. When the company thrives, all employees will benefit. Even if the boss may give an employee a severe dressing-down for something he or she did, the employee can learn a lesson from the event. Under such a boss, employees can gain valuable experience, which may serve as a good foundation for them to start a business of their own in the future.3. Why do some people think sports clothes and shoes providea good business opportunity? What age groups do you think the business people should target? Why?With more leisure time and money, many people pay more attention to their health and recreation. As a result, more and more people will engage in sports, and they will buy more fitness gear, including sports clothes and shoes. Obviously this provides a hot business opportunity. In my opinion, business people should target young people first. They are active and participate more in sports than other age groups. But businesspeople should not neglect older people. After retirement, they often find their health on the decline, and therefore have the motivation for fitness exercises. As for middle-aged people, many of them are under such great pressure at work that they can hardly afford the time for sports.4. If you wanted to start a business, which factors would you consider: your education and ability, your money, or the market? Why?If I wanted to launch a business, I would consider all of these factors, for they all play an indispensable role. First of all, I would consider my ability. Since I majored in biology, I would be cautious in starting a company to sell something I am not familiar with such as building materials or DVDs. With my educational background, I may find it easier to run a company selling bio-tech products. The next thing I would have to take into account, is the money available. Suppose the establishment of a company required a capital of a million dollars, I would try to see whether I could get a loan. If not, I would give up the idea and try to set up a smaller service company that required less capital. Last but not least, I would survey the market to see if the products I planned to deal with could be sold. If they were unmarketable, I had better give up the ideaof founding a company in this area. If they sold well, then I would go ahead.。

Peoplealways feel dangerous in this high crime rate socie ty, so almost everyone’s apartment has a burglar-proof door.Lock our doors even when we are going out just for a few minutes, because we need to keep alert all the time.Burglar alarm system is also a good way to prevent burglaries. If a thief enters your house, this system would call the police and your possession will be in a safe condition.2.In our contact with the outside world, what precautions do we take to steerclear of danger? For example, do you speak to strangers?Yes, but I seldom speak to strangers because when I was young, my parents always told me not to speak to strangers for they maybe have an evil thought on you.When we’re surfing on the Internet or chatting online, we shouldn’t tell strangers our personal information, especially our bank account number and password.If we plan to travel on holidays, we’d better not go to an unfamiliar place alone. When we are on a trip, we have to pay more attention to our valuables. And we need to always keep our cell phone in a good condition. Because if we are in danger, a good connection on the phone can help us get out of trouble easily.3.What do you think can be done to improve older people’s lives if theirchildren do not live with them?Older people can keep a pet.

If you have,what have you done? If you haven’t, what do you plan to do?I should thank my parents for bring me this world, giving me life and educated me.I should thank my parents for brought me up from a child who doesn’t know anything to a manwho will build his own career.I should thank my parents for giving me the chance to experience the richness of the world.I should thank my teachers for giving me the knowledge and improve our ability.I should thank my teachers for teaching me the principle of life such as honesty, responsibility,tolerance and never give up.I should thank my friends for giving me the courage to overcome difficulties when I am in atough time and my mood fall down to the bottom.I should thank my friends for bringing me tears and happiness during my growth, lighten thedarkness in my life.To my parents, what I have done at this moment is that to care for them by giving them a call every week. I also should work hard, have a regular exercise and build a strong body. In the future, if I work in another place and cannot live with them, I plan to back home regularly and spend more time to keep them company.To my teachers, what I have done is that sending greeting cards at Spring Festival and sending them greeting messages at Teachers’ day. I plan to write letters to them in my free time.To my friends, what I have done is that keeping in touch with them and sending them a greeting message or a gift at their birthday.

Which holidays are the mostappropriate?Yes, holidays are a very good time to express gratitude.If I want to express gratitude to my parents, Mother’s day and Father’s day are the mostappropriate. If I want to thank my teachers, I think Teacher’s day is the mo st appropriate. If I want to show my gratitude to my lover in the future, the Valentines’ day is the most appropriate.But if I miss all of these holidays to express gratitude to them, I think the Spring Festival is alsoa good time to show my thanks.3.Do you think it is necessary for the Chinese to celebrate Western festivals?No, I don’t think so for it is not necessary. But I don’t mean that we cannot celebrate theseWestern festivals. I don’t think it’s necessary to find a definite answer to whether we C hinese should celebrate the foreign festivals or not. We ought to respect others’ decision instead of interference in their choices. It’s not a bad thing for the people to take advantage of the western festivals, entertaining themselves, getting together and exchanging greetings.But as we all know that we have a lot of traditional festivals are now forgotten by some people of our generation. They have lost their interest in our traditional festivals such as Tomb-sweeping day, Dragon-boat festival, Double Ninth Festival, etc. In general, the Chinese young men almost don’t know the profound implications of our traditional Chinese festivals. Instead they are familiar with the western festivals and go after them like a flock of ducks. Obviously, this is a situation that we do not want to see.I think i t is right to lay emphasis on our traditional festivals but it’s not proper to reject theforeign ones on this account. In fact, western festivals like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, which have tak en root in our country and becoming popular festivals among our people. They are a good time to express our gratitude to our relatives.All in all, it’s natural for the Chinese people, especially our young people, to take part in the western festival activities, relaxing and relieving themselves. I think if you are interested in the celebration of the western festivals, just join it and enjoy yourself. If you are not interested in it, you can ignore them but don’t complain and make criticism.4.It is sometimes claimed that many festivals have been created just toencourage people to spend money. Do you agree?No, I don’t agree with that.It is common knowledge that every nation has its own special festivals with colorfulbackgrounds, which are closely connected with its special history or excellent culture. Sofestivals are the products of the sedimentary accretion of a nation’s culture over thousands of years. Some people think so, as you just said, is probably because people often spend much money during a festival. Well, I think people spend more money during a festival than atnormal times is reasonable because it needs money to buy different things to celebrate afestival. To the businessmen, festivals are a good time to increase income. To the consumers, they also are willing to pay at this special time. The view that festivals only have been created to encourage people to spend money is too simple and too narrow. I think people spend more money during a festival is a win-win situation to the whole society.Unit 5Topics for Discussion1.Is it enough to help only those people we know?Well, I think that depends.The pre-requisite of helping others is that you are a man who can offer help. The most important thing to measure it’s enough or not is that your pe rsonal ability. If you are a man who needs help, there is no need for us to talk about this issue. If you are a merchant who has a highincome, I think it’s not enough to help only those people you know. If you are a student who has no income and needs par ents’ money to live, I think it’s enough to help those people you know.Using one sentence to conclude my idea is that ‘w ith great power, comes great responsibility’.2.What is the relationship between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate? Doesthe former determine the latter or is it the other way round?Well, I think our life is truly in the hands of fate from the day we are born because we cannot choose our parents and it has no relationship with our attitude to life. But when we are born to the world, we get the chance to choose the attitude to life which will partly determines our latter life. As time goes by, the attitude you choose will show an impact on your life and your fate will be changed to some degree. But your attitude to life is only one cause to your fate, not the direct cause.Yes, to a large extend, I think the former determines the latter. Because what you did in theformer has a direct impact on your latter just like if I keep doing exercise for one hour, of course,I will have a strong body one or two years later. But if I am a good student in the university,does that mean I will have a high paid job in the future? I think it also related to your personal fate.3.Do you think success is due more to luck and opportunity or to diligence?Why?In my opinion, luck, opportunity and diligence are all important to success, but success is due more to one’s diligence.Generally speaking, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and diligent can make use of them to achieve their purpose.Opportunities only come to the well-prepared person who bears perseverance and perspiration and it can be created by diligent people. Diligence is the fundamental pre-condition, which can change opportunity into success. Diligence is the first key factor to success, that is, to be diligent means to work with full energy and think with full effort. To be diligent means to practice with complete dedication and constant searching for a better method. Diligence helps us removeignorance, overcome difficulties, and enlighten our minds. There is no doubt that if you want to achieve something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you.。

If they want to learn more things, they can go to the city when they are older.A: Ok. The opinion is varies from person to person. Let us make a survey about it and learn more things about it.4.Would you rather have a low paid job you are keen on or a wellpaid job you are not interested in? Give your reasons.A: If give you a chance to choose a job between a low paid job you are keen on and a well paid job you are not interested in. Which one is your chose?B: the job I like.

However, if you choose the well paid job, which pays well enough for you to keep up with you bills and have a good chunk of spending cash left over, you can do the things you love in you free time. Then not only do you make more money, but also you can do something you enjoy.B: I believe I will achieve their ambitions and values in the work, in my eyes this is the meaning and value of the work itself. Passion and dream is the important, though the job salary is very low, but I love this job, I have passion to do it well.5.Which, do you think, is important in present China,environmental protection or economic growth?A: environmental protection and economic growth are two big problems for us. Which do you think is more important in present China?B: in my opinion, protecting environment is more important. Environmental problems have been recognized as an important source of threats to human survival. For instance, carbon emissions are triggering huge and destructive climate change.A: yeah, I think so. And the loss of the balance between human activities and preservation of nature in many parts of the world is attributed to a growth-oriented economic model.B: uh uh… nowadays, our earth is in bad condition day by day. You can see the scene that water is beautiful in several different colors, and the trees are too small to stand in the wind. What’s the worse still, many a cute animals are left the earth sadly. It’s more and more urgent to change the position and to protect the environment immediately.

Do you want a personal gun?B: Maybe I want, it can protect me and it is really cool.A: Come on, don’t you think it is dangerous?B: What do you mean?A: I mean maybe your gun be used to protect yourself but you probably hurt others or even yourself by mistakes, like the frequency of gun.B: It is a small probability event, isn’t it? Think over that, if everyone has a gun but you don’t, you will get into a dangerous condition, and you cannot ensure your safety.A: That is why I do not support that people should have a personal gun. If everyone has this mentality that will cause more personal gun in the society and the person who want to do something terrible he can get the weapon easily and they can kill you and me in a few seconds. As the quantity of the guns is increase someday our government will lose the control of the citizen and then the country will palsy.B: Yes you are right maybe the fewer guns we have the more safety we will get. But I think we should treat this thing apart.7.Do you think it is necessary for the Chinese to celebrateChristmas?A.Hi, Christmas is coming. Did you decide how to celebrate it?B.No, I never did it. I think we Chinese should pay more attention to our traditional Chinese festivals such as the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.A.Really? I should say you are alternative. In my opinion, it’s necessary for the Chinese to celebrate the Christmas. Celebrating foreign festivals is a way of getting to know its culture, thus we will get on well with other countries, make friends with the world and that’s good for our development. What’s more, it is also a way of relaxing. Why not just accept the new culture?B.Well, to some extent, I accept that it’s significant to accept different culture. But the fact is that many people know more about Santa Claus than chang’e , that’s just where I can’t agree with. Since we have such long history cultures, how can we put more attentions on the foreign cultures?A.You are right. Maybe it’s not whether it’s necessary to celebrate the Christmas but how many attentions we pay to our traditional cultural that matters.8.Prevention or punishment, which is the better alternative inensuring citizen safety?A.Hi, Prevention or punishment, which do you think is the better alternative inensuring citizen safety?B.Well, As far as I am concerned, prevention is superior to punishment in ensuring citizen safety. After all, if crimes could be prevented successfully, no one would ever get hurt, and there is no necessary for punishment. Punishment is what takes place when prevention fails, and is therefore rendered useless when prevention succeeds. Thus, to ensure citizen safety, the best place to start is with prevention.A.But on the other hand, the society is so complex that we can not always know where the crimes can take place. And the people are different and are difficult to understand that prevention will be not enough to ensure the citizen safety. So I hold that punishment is the better alternative.B. Well, as for this, I think more preventions could do help people first of all, learn to protect oneself properly and timely; second,preventions can also focus on a better and wider education among citizens that build up inner morals within each citizen, as a result people can tell right from wrong, and constrain themselves even when outrageous or resented.A. But we can never know the real soul of people, especially when it comes to the strangers. And what’s more important is that if we just pay more attention to prevention, those baddies would think it will be ok to do crimes, and that will be a big problem to our society.9.Should we only help those we know or should we also helpstrangers?A: Hi，yesterday English teacher gave us a topic about we should only help those we know or should we also help strangers. What’s your opinion?B: En, I think we should help people those we know and strangers.A: Why?B: helping others is a traditional virtue that we should have. How can we do not give a hand to the person who is in trouble only because we do not know them. We should try our best to help others if they are in trouble. If everyone is warming hearted, the society will be harmonious.A: Don’t you think helping strangers may put us into trouble?B: well, helping others is helping ourselves, too. Everyone may get in trouble and need others’ help. If we are afraid that helping others would put us into trouble. When we get in trouble, no one will help us, either. We should be glad to help others and some day we may get help, too.A: You are right, a man can’t live without others help. We should help others. Maybe we should help others wisely in order to prevent us from getting trouble or putting others’ in a worse situation.B: Exactly, it doesn't matter whether the person is stranger or not. We should help others without any hesitation when we are needed. It’s a kind of virtue and a symbol of social civilization thatbuilds our society better.10. Some people claim that festivals have been created just to encourage people to spend money.Do you agree or not agree? Give your reasons.A:It is sometimes claimed that many festivals have been created just toencourage people to spend money. Do you agree? Give your reasons.B:No, I don’t agree with that.It is common knowledge that every nation has its own special festivals with colorful backgrounds, which are closely connected with its special history or excellent culture. So festivals are the products of the sedimentary accretion of a nation’s culture over thousands of years.A:I can't agree with you more.Some people think so, as you just said, is probably because people often spend much money during a festival. Well, I think people spend more money during a festival than at normal times is reasonable because it needs money to buy different things to celebrate a festival. To the businessmen, festivals are a good time to increase income. To the consumers, they also are willing to pay at this special time.B:yes,The view that festivals only have been created to encourage people to spend money is too simple and too narrow. I think people spend more money during a festival is a win-win situation to the whole society.。

If everyone has this mentality that will cause more personal gun in the society and the person who want to do something terrible he can get the weapon easily and they can kill you and me in a few seconds. As the quantity of the guns is increase someday our government will lose the control of the citizen and then the country will palsy.B: Yes you are right maybe the fewer guns we have the more safety we will get. But I think we should treat this thing apart.7.Do you think it is necessary for the Chinese to celebrateChristmas?A.Hi, Christmas is coming. Did you decide how to celebrate it?B.No, I never did it. I think we Chinese should pay more attention to our traditional Chinese festivals such as the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.A.Really? I should say you are alternative. In my opinion, it’s necessary for the Chinese to celebrate the Christmas. Celebrating foreign festivals is a way of getting to know its culture, thus we will get on well with other countries, make friends with the world and that’s good for our development. What’s more, it is also a way of relaxing. Why not just accept the new culture?B.Well, to some extent, I accept that it’s significant to accept different culture. But the fact is that many people know more about Santa Claus than chang’e , that’s just where I can’t agree with. Since we have such long history cultures, how can we put more attentions on the foreign cultures?A.You are right. Maybe it’s not whether it’s necessary to celebrate the Christmas but how many attentions we pay to our traditional cultural that matters.8.Prevention or punishment, which is the better alternative inensuring citizen safety?A.Hi, Prevention or punishment, which do you think is the better alternative inensuring citizen safety?B.Well, As far as I am concerned, prevention is superior to punishment in ensuring citizen safety. After all, if crimes could be prevented successfully, no one would ever get hurt, and there is no necessary for punishment. Punishment is what takes place when prevention fails, and is therefore rendered useless when prevention succeeds. Thus, to ensure citizen safety, the best place to start is with prevention.A.But on the other hand, the society is so complex that we can not always know where the crimes can take place. And the people are different and are difficult to understand that prevention will be not enough to ensure the citizen safety. So I hold that punishment is the better alternative.B. Well, as for this, I think more preventions could do help people first of all, learn to protect oneself properly and timely; second,preventions can also focus on a better and wider education among citizens that build up inner morals within each citizen, as a result people can tell right from wrong, and constrain themselves even when outrageous or resented.A. But we can never know the real soul of people, especially when it comes to the strangers. And what’s more important is that if we just pay more attention to prevention, those baddies would think it will be ok to do crimes, and that will be a big problem to our society.9.Should we only help those we know or should we also helpstrangers?A: Hi，yesterday English teacher gave us a topic about we should only help those we know or should we also help strangers. What’s your opinion?B: En, I think we should help people those we know and strangers.A: Why?B: helping others is a traditional virtue that we should have. How can we do not give a hand to the person who is in trouble only because we do not know them. We should try our best to help others if they are in trouble. If everyone is warming hearted, the society will be harmonious.A: Don’t you think helping strangers may put us into trouble?B: well, helping others is helping ourselves, too. Everyone may get in trouble and need others’ help. If we are afraid that helping others would put us into trouble. When we get in trouble, no one will help us, either. We should be glad to help others and some day we may get help, too.A: You are right, a man can’t live without others help. We should help others. Maybe we should help others wisely in order to prevent us from getting trouble or putting others’ in a worse situation.B: Exactly, it doesn't matter whether the person is stranger or not. We should help others without any hesitation when we are needed. It’s a kind of virtue and a symbol of social civilization thatbuilds our society better.10. Some people claim that festivals have been created just to encourage people to spend money.Do you agree or not agree? Give your reasons.A:It is sometimes claimed that many festivals have been created just toencourage people to spend money. Do you agree? Give your reasons.B:No, I don’t agree with that.It is common knowledge that every nation has its own special festivals with colorful backgrounds, which are closely connected with its special history or excellent culture. So festivals are the products of the sedimentary accretion of a nation’s culture over thousands of years.A:I can't agree with you more.Some people think so, as you just said, is probably because people often spend much money during a festival. Well, I think people spend more money during a festival than at normal times is reasonable because it needs money to buy different things to celebrate a festival. To the businessmen, festivals are a good time to increase income. To the consumers, they also are willing to pay at this special time.B:yes,The view that festivals only have been created to encourage people to spend money is too simple and too narrow. I think people spend more money during a festival is a win-win situation to the whole society.。

I think our friendship will last not because the money or the benefits but the time we spend together and the precious memory in our mind.2.Are holidays a good time to express gratitude? Which holidays are the mostappropriate?Yes, holidays are a very good time to express gratitude.If I want to express gratitude to my parents, Mother’s day and Father’s day are the most appropriate. If I want to thank my teachers, I think Teacher’s day is the most appropriate. If I want to show my gratitude to my lover in t he future, the Valentines’ day is the most appropriate.But if I miss all of these holidays to express gratitude to them,I think the Spring Festival is also a good time to show my thanks.3.Do you think it is necessary for the Chinese to celebrate Western festivals?No, I don’t think so for it is not necessary. But I don’t mean that we cannot celebrate these Western festivals. I don’t think it’s necessary to find a definite answer to whether we Chinese should celebrate the foreign festivals or not. We ought to respect others’ decision instead of interference in their choices. It’s not a bad thing for the people to take advantage of the western festivals, entertaining themselves, getting together and exchanging greetings.But as we all know that we have a lot of traditional festivals are now forgotten by some people of our generation. They have lost their interest in our traditional festivals such as Tomb-sweeping day, Dragon-boat festival, Double Ninth Festival, etc. In general, the Chinese young men almost don’t know the profound implications of our traditional Chinese festivals. Insteadthey are familiar with the western festivals and go after them like a flock of ducks. Obviously, this is a situation that we do not want to see.I think i t is right to lay emphasis on our traditional festivals but it’s not proper to reject the foreignones on this account. In fact, western festivals like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, which have taken root in our country and becoming popular festivals among our people.They are a good time to express our gratitude to our relatives.All in all, it’s natural for the Chinese people, especially our young people, to take part in the western festival activities, relaxing and relieving themselves. I think if you are interested in the celebration of the western festivals, just join it and enjoy yourself. If you are not interested in it, you can ignore them but don’t complain and make criticism.4.It is sometimes claimed that many festivals have been created just toencourage people to spend money. Do you agree?No, I don’t agree with that.It is common knowledge that every nation has its own special festivals with colorful backgrounds, which are closely connected with its special history or excellent culture. So festivals are the products of the sedimentary accretion of a nation’s culture over thousands of years. Some people think so, as you just said, is probably because people often spend much money during a festival.Well, I think people spend more money during a festival than at normal times is reasonable because it needs money to buy different things to celebrate a festival. To the businessmen,festivals are a good time to increase income. To the consumers, they also are willing to pay at thisspecial time. The view that festivals only have been created to encourage people to spend money is too simple and too narrow. I think people spend more money during a festival is a win-win situation to the whole society.Unit 5Topics for Discussion1.Is it enough to help only those people we know?Well, I think that depends.The pre-requisite of helping others is that you are a man who can offer help. The most important thing to measure it’s enough or not is that your personal ability. If you are a man who needs help, there is no need for us to talk about this issue. If you are a merchant who has a high income, I think it’s not enough to help only those people you know. If you are a student who has no income and needs parents’ money to live, I think it’s enough to help those people you know. Using one sentence to conclude my idea is that ‘w ith great power, comes great responsibility’.2.What is the relationship between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate? Does theformer determine the latter or is it the other way round?Well, I think our life is truly in the hands of fate from the day we are born because we cannot choose our parents and it has no relationship with our attitude to life. But when we are born to the world, we get the chance to choose the attitude to life which will partly determines our latter life.As time goes by, the attitude you choose will show an impact on your life and your fate will be changed to some degree. But your attitude to life is only one cause to your fate, not the directcause.Yes, to a large extend, I think the former determines the latter. Because what you did in the former has a direct impact on your latter just like if I keep doing exercise for one hour, of course,I will have a strong body one or two years later. But if I am a good student in the university, doesthat mean I will have a high paid job in the future? I think it also related to your personal fate. 3.Do you think success is due more to luck and opportunity or to diligence? Why?In my opinion, luck, opportunity and diligence are all important to success, but success is due more to one’s diligence.Generally speaking, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and diligent can make use of them to achieve their purpose.Opportunities only come to the well-prepared person who bears perseverance and perspiration and it can be created by diligent people. Diligence is the fundamental pre-condition, which can change opportunity into success. Diligence is the first key factor to success, that is, to be diligent means to work with full energy and think with full effort. To be diligent means to practice with complete dedication and constant searching for a better method. Diligence helps us remove ignorance, overcome difficulties, and enlighten our minds. There is no doubt that if you want to achieve something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you.。

重庆大学英语三级口语考题和答案第一篇：重庆大学英语三级口语考题和答案1Week-long Holiday TravelingThere is a picture with two persons in it.The girl is asking the boy “How do you think about week-long holiday traveling? Theboy is carrying a big bag on his shoulder.At the same time he is thinking about hundreds of people crowded in the attractions or the placesof interest.From it, we can see the problem existed that many people choose the week-long holiday to travel to the places they want to.This phenomenon can bring along a problem, such as the crowed people in the places of interest.In opinion, I think it is the effect of our livinghabits.Nowadays, people are under the pressure of work and many other living problems.Only on holidays can people relax themselves.But they go to the same place at the same time and it becomes difficult to have a good holiday.2Quality EducationIn the picture ,we can see many people with the head of some remedial class.In the middle of them is a child with a head of leaves.Maybe they are trying to persuading him to take some additional classes to acquire qualified education.From the picture ,we can see the pressure the child has.He has tolearn many lessons.It can be very hard to be a child in this environment.As a student ,I don’t like these additional classes either.In my opinion, these classes won’t do any good to us.We can’t improve our knowledge level.../…………….The making of a successful scientist—nature or nurture?From the picture ,we can see a balance with two equal scales.And the title of the picture is “The making of a successful scientist—nature or nurture?” It means what matters to be asuccessful scientist.It shows nature and nurture plays the same important role.In my own opinion ,I think it is right.On one hand ,not everyone of us can be a successful scientist in the future.I get through someone who tried all his best to do something, but end up with failure.At the same time, there are some few people can finish something easily.It is depended on the talent we inherited from our parents.It is nature.On the other hand, even if you have had the talent, and you don’t pay any efforts, you won’t succeed in the end.So to be successful in something, first we need to think whether it is suit for us or not.That is to say, try to find our own way.You know every road leads to Roman, and I think everyone can be successful though they are in different areas.5.Why does copycatting exist?From thepicture ,we can see a person and some road signs.These signs are copycattedfrom some existing and famous things, such as the “bi sheng hu”(拼音)that is copycatted from the Pizza hut(必胜客)，which is famous for its pizza.And the man in the picture is so surprised and confused to see these signs.He can’t fi gure out what these words mean.This phenomenon now is becoming more and more common in our daily life.But how it comes? And why it becomes popular?In my own opinion , it is because that they want to raise people’s awareness.They choose to copycat some fam ous things,a famous brand or something everyone of us are familiar with.People know these famous things, and they use the similar name, and then people will remember the name easily.Another hand , sometimes the genuine can be replaced by the copycatting ones.The copycat can benefit very much from the copycatting products.I think this is why copycattingexists.第二篇：2012英语三级答案听力 postoffice、2 she hired someone、3 to paint the house、4 A salesperson、5 at home It arrived early、6 she is still preparing the report、7 Fine、8 Buy a dictionary for herself、9 Go shopping、10 Book her flight to beijing、11 It is some distance from school、12 He is going to visit an apartment building 单项 ultimate、14 each、15 presented、16 probably、17 into、18 elp up、19 shamed、20 intend、21 went off、22 sign ,denied、23 persist、24 as been discussing、25 what、26 hasturned、27 he did、28 that、29 Three times as much as、30 having been given、31 that、32fixed 阅读producers of movies music and TV shows 34 be warned by the provider 35 without the user knowing it 36 when decided by the law 37 appeared to be generally acceptable、38 Jessica;39 developing an image of yourself that you want to project in things you do;、40 Something good thant people say about someone;41 attitudes and behavior;42 personnal brand can be judged and changled 48 fragile、49 peaches require more labor to harvest 50 a machine;construction jobs、51 pay higher wages to them 52 more expensive T1:若嫌疑人的违法行为任不停止，服务商有可能暂时降低网速，或者将浏览器重定向特定网页，直到用户与公司联系.T2:个人品牌塑造就是个人形象塑造，也就是你在做一切事情中表现出来的形象.T3:世界遭受的最大损失莫过于你因为怕失败就放弃你本可做出的独特贡献.T4:或许，解决问题的一个办法是让墨西哥人作为外来工人来此工作，即可帮他们养家糊口，又可帮助弄采收.T5:我相信我们已经有周全的计划安排，能办好一届安安全全的奥运会.S1：matter S2、probably S3:managements S4:depends S5:online S6:improving 作文：1.实现远大志向需要从小事做起。
