历年高口NTGF原文真题

2014年3月高级口译听力真题NTGF含解析Note Taking and Gap FillingGood afternoon, class. I want to start my lecture by telling you a story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela, who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a Chinese. One day as Consuela came to work, her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at her boss! Her boss was shocked. Well, he had given her the red envelope and the money because it was Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year, it is traditional to give money to young, single people for good luck. However, from Consuela’s point of view, he was an older man giving her money in an envelope, which meant that he was asking her for sexual favors. Naturally, she refused to take the money.Now, what does this story show us? It shows that an action can have totally opposite meanings in different cultures. Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior. And to illustrate my point today, I’m going to give examples from four areas. First, the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second, the way they use names and titles. Third, the way people eat. And finally, the way they exchange gifts.OK, let’s start with greeting customs—First of all, I’m sure you know that in the United States and in most western countries, greetings often involve some sort of touching, such as a handshake, a hug, or a kiss if people know each other very well. On the other hand, people from most Asian countriesdon’t usually feel as comfortable touching in public. Although handshakes between business people are common, many Japanese prefer a bow, while people from Thailand, normally hold their hands together in a kind of prayer position. So imagine how embarrassing it would be if an American was invited to someone’s home in Japan or Thailand and she tried to hug the host!Now, another behavior that differs from culture to culture is the use of names. Have you noticed that Americans ar e quick to use people’s first names even if they have just met. For instance, visitors to the United States are always surprised to hear employees speak to their bosses using first names. In contrast, people in most other cultures are more formal and prefer to be addressed as Mr. Brown or Mr. Honda, for example. In addition, in some countries, such as Italy or Korea, people like you to include their title orposition with their family names, especially if they’re university graduates or owners of a business.Now I want to look at eating customs. I’ll talk about the behaviors connected with eating that vary from culture to culture. One of these is the use of utensils. You probably know that people in many Asian cultures use chopsticks but in some countries i t’s customary to eat with your fingers. It’s important to be aware of different dining customs. Here is another example. In some cultures, eating everything on your plate is considered impolite. In Egypt and China, you should leave some food in your dish at the end of the meal. This is to show that your hosts were generous and gave you more than enough to eat. However, Americans generally consider a clean plate as a sign of satisfaction with the food.Finally, what I want to mention today is gift giving, which you may think is a universal custom and there is not much variation from culture to culture. But the rules of gift giving can be very complicated. In USA, if you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or small item as a present. On the other hand, the Japanese give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone, such as a teacher or a doctor. In the Japanese culture, gift giving is a very ancient tradition and it has many detailed rules. Another interesting fact about gift giving is that many cultures have strict rules about gifts you should not give. For example, never give yellow flowers to people from Iran, which means you hate them!【评析】本文题材对考生来说并不陌生，是老生常谈的文化差异。

托福口语机经第一批答案

1.Do you prefer to eat prepared food or food made by yourself?As for me , I prefer to choose prepared food. One reason is that my cooking skill is not very pleasant. Since my mother cooks at home , seldom do I have the chance to practice cooking skills. In hence , I have established the habit to enjoy the prepared food. Furthermore, prepared food without my effort to buy crude food, wash and cook can save me a lot of time, I am always busy with my study and social work, I hardly squeeze the time to make the meal, and I regard the cooking as a heavy burden in my life. And the last thing I have to admit is that prepared food is far more delicious than the food I cook. And I am quite confident of that .2.What's your favorite toy or game in your childhood?As I can remember, my favorite toy is a football. My father gave it to me as a present when I won the first prize in the school sports meeting. Since I always get sick when I was young, my father encouraged me to do sports like running.Since I had the football, he played it with me every week. Step by step, I formed the good habit to do sports regularly. Consequently, I became much more sturdy and healthy and I seldom go to the hospital. Afterwards, I make a lot of friends who are interested in the football too. We played football after school happily and formed a profound friendship. With the company of football, I experienced a happy period of time. So I regard football as my favorite toy in my childhood.3.Do you like to be taught by experienced teachers or by new teachers?Personally speaking, I prefer to be taught by the experienced teacher for the following reasons. First of all, experienced teachers can give me more knowledge.Since they have worked for some time, they are always more knowledgeable than the new teachers. Second, experienced teachers send knowledge in a more efficient way, with rich teaching experience, they know how to catch the students’ eyes. Compared with the new teachers, experienced teachers have a variety of methods to give lessons, which may be useful for the students to understand.And the last point I want to say is that experienced teacher can help student make progress more easily. Since they have taught hundreds of students, they can easily find students’ weakness and help them form good study habits.4.Describe a subject that you think is very important, but you are not interested in.Please provide details to why it is important and difficult.As for me, I think math is the subject that is very important but I am not interested in. Mathematics is a basic tool in many fields such as physics, economics, accountancy and so on. I major in energy science, and math become a very important basic subject. Without the comprehensive knowledge of math, we cannot do some deep research in our field. Meanwhile math is also a very difficult subject for me. When I do some calculation, I always lose my patience and can not concentrate on the process. And I am not skilled in logical thinking, which make math a real tough subject for me. As I realize the importance of math in my major, I try my best to work harder on it and get a pleasant result.5.Do you prefer to watch movies in the cinema or at home, why?Personally speaking, I prefer to stay home enjoying movies. I think wathching movies at home is much more convenient and can save me a lot of time. It will take me 30 minutes if I go to the nearest cinema in my city by bus. Sometimes, when I get to the cinema, the tickets are sold out or I have to wait for a long time for the next movie. This kind of situations really disturbs me and I seldom go to the cinema. Furthermore, staying at home is more comfortable. I can put a lot of snacks in front of me. If something happened ,I can just pause the TV and continue to enjoy after I handle it. And I always invite some friends home and we definitely have a good time.6.Describe the benefit of spending time abroad.Nowadays, many people choose to go abroad studying or visiting, I think there are benefits to do so. For teenagers, going abroad for some time is good chance to practice their ability to live alone. They have depended on their parents for a long time and seldom make decisions on their own. When they are away from their parents, they need to be independent, which they have to learn to become an adult.Additionally, people can tough different people and learn different culture, which help them broaden their views and have a better understanding of the world. I also believe spending time abroad is also a good way to practice language skill if they are learning foreign language. Actually , some of my friends make huge progress in English after they spend 3 months in America.7.Describe a performer, an actor or a musician, etc. that you think is great. Pleasegive specific reasons why you think he/she is a great performer.My favorite movie star is Jackie Chan and I think he is a great actor. He played a variety of fantastic movies such as Police Story, Baby Plan,Chinese Zodiac and so on. These movies are almost action movies, but Jackie Chan is very dedicated and seldom use the substitute even though is some dangerous scenes. Jackie Chan is not only an eminent actor but also a caring philanthropist. He cares about the future of the poor children and found the Jackie Chan charitable foundation. He even carry out the concert to raise money to help the poor. I regard Jackie Chan asa good performer not only because he perform perfect in his movies but also in thereal life.8.What are some important effects of the worldwide availability of the Internet onmodern people’s life? Use specific details and examples to support your response.Nowadays, the internet plays an significant and irreplaceable role in the modern life. With the convenient access to the internet, people learn fast. They can collect almost any information they need within seconds on computers. People save the time for searching the information and use the saved time to learn more knowledge. Based on the internet, remote education developed around the world.Furthermore, the internet also change the way people work. In modern society, we can hardly see a company without a computer. Computer accelerate the process of work and help the company get more profits. And the last thing I want to mention is the Internet industry. It provides a variety of jobs and some famous enterprise developed such as Alibaba , Sina, Tencent and so on.9.Some students prefer to go to universities or colleges in their hometown. Othersprefer to go to universities or colleges in new cities or towns. Which do you prefer and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.As for me, I prefer to go to a new city or town for a period of time. First of all, I like to be independent. In a new city, I will not depend on my parents as before and I can make the decision on my own. It helps me to become a true man.Second, I can establish a new friend circle and start a new life. Compared with easy and comfortable life, I prefer to have a new and challenging life. Staying in one place for a long time will make me numb and innocent. And the last benefit I want to mention is that living in a new place for some time will broaden my view and give me a better understanding of the country.10.Describe a gift that you want to give to someone.The gift I want to give to my best friend is book written by Mo yan. The title of the book is“red sorghum”. He majors in Chinese Literature and he loves reading books very much. And Mo yan is one of his favorite Chinese writers. Once by chance, I got the book from my father’s friend. And what excited me is that the first page contains the Moyan’s autograph. “Red sorghum” is one of moyan’s most famous works. And moyan has gotten his reputation since he win the Nobel prize. I plan to give the book to my friend in his birthday, I am sure he will love it .11.Is it easier to be a teacher than to be a student?I don’t think being a teacher is easier than being a student. First of all, being ateacher consume more vigor. A teacher needs to be responsible for several classes of students. To be a good teacher, he should know everyone’s traits and find out their weak points. Then he helps them to make progress. This job is time-consuming, which makes it much harder than being a student. Second,teaching is a career, a teacher also needs to consider how to achieve his own career. If a teacher can not achieve the teaching goal set by the school, he may lose his job. Based on the aboved discussion, I believe being a teacher is much more challenging than being a student.12.Describe your favorite teacher. Explain why you like him or her. Include reasonsand details to support your response.My favorite teacher is my math teacher in my high school. He is such a charming person that I admire him most. As a math teacher, he has a brilliant mind, whenever I ask him a question, he can always give me a pleasant answer. I also love the way he teaches in class. He is so energetic when he gives us lessons that I can hardly be distracted by other facts. Meanwhile, he is also a very kind person, when I have problems in my life, I often confide to him, he can give me some useful advice. In the high school, he helped me a lot not only in my study but also in my life. I feel honored to have such a excellent teacher .13.Some people prefer to make decisions quickly. Others prefer to take their time.Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.As for me , I prefer to make decisions after I have a comprehensive consideration.For example , when I choose the college after I graduate from high school, I searched the internet, asked my teachers and even called the university admissions office. It took quite a long time before I made the final decision. I believe it worth my preparations. In people’s life, some decisions are so important that we can not afford to make any mistakes. In such a case, cursory decisions always lead to more tortuous road. We may save some time if we make decisions quickly, however, it may take more time to correct the wrong decision. So I choose to look before I leap.14.Describe an activity that you enjoy doing together with your family.

During the movie time , we eat ,chat to each other, talk about some interesting thing around us. In this period of time, we know each other better and give others love and support. In my childhood, it is also a good chance for my parents to give my sister and me a lesson. In the movie, my parent will tell what is right and what is false, what is kind and what is evil, which helped us to form right value of life.15.Some people prefer to do shopping in large grocery stores or department stores.Others prefer to do shopping in small grocery stores. Which do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your response.As for me, I prefer to do shopping in large grocery stores for the following reasons. First of all, large grocery stores sell a variety of good. Almost anything I need can be found in it. Thus, without going to different place, I can walk around in a building searching what I want. It is really convenient especially for those who are tired of wandering in the big street. Second, goods in the large grocery stores are always in high quality, which means a lot for me. Relatively, goods in small grocery may have some problems and some shopkeeper show no responsibility for it. And the last thing I want to mention is the condition of the store. For example, large grocery stores always have air condition. However , some small stores may not have.16.Describe a special friend in your childhood. Explain why this friend is special toyou. Include reasons and details to support your response.In my childhood, there is a person who means a lot to me, that is my neighbor.Since my parents are really busy with their works, I always stayed at home alone.He became a good company for me. We watched movies together, played football in the yard, and sometimes we even cooked ourselves. With the company of him, my childhood is full of happiness. Furthermore, he also provided me a lot of help in study. He always won the first in class in the final exam, but I was not good at math. After school, I often went to his home to do homework. Usually, he finished the work faster than me. And he would teach me to solve the difficult problem. I feel honored to have a so good friend.17.Some people prefer to be a leader in a group project, while others prefer to be asupporting member in a group project. Which do you prefer and why? Use examples and details in your explanation.Of course I would like to be a leader. I think I have some qualities that a leader needs. First I am good at communicating with others. That is very important to lead a team with many complex troubles. With my communication skills, I can make the atmosphere among my team members very harmonious. And second, I am good at making decisions. Before I make a decision, I take every fact into consideration and make sure that the next step is what we need. And I also believe being a leader is a chance to enhance myself. It helps me to promote my sense of responsibility, practice my ability to organize a team and push me to learn. So instead of being a person who is regulated by others, I want to be a leader and regulate others myself.18.What skill (such as playing a sport, playing a musical instrument and speaking aforeign language) would you like to learn the most? Explain why.Among the three skills, I want to learn a foreign language for two seasons. First of all, speaking a foreign language is useful. Nowadays, many foreigners come to China studying or visiting. It will be helpful if I can speak frequent English. And I want to go abroad to study, English is of great importance. A foreign language is basic tool to communicate. Second, being skilled in a foreign language enables me to have more job chances. If I can speak a foreign language, I can choose to be a translator, a guide and so on. And people may get appreciation from their boss if they can speak to a foreigner.19.Some people prefer to attend team sports. Others prefer to do individual sports.Which do you prefer and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.As for me, I prefer to attend individual sports like running and swimming. First of all, playing individual sports enables me to make my own plan. I can choose the time and place. However, playing team sports is not very flexible. Sometime I need to fit other’s schedule and break my own plan. Second, doing individual sports is more efficient in practicing myself. Team sports need cooperation and coordination. I do sports mainly to strengthen my body, so I think doing individual sports is more valid than doing team sports. Additionally, I think team sport is more difficult like football and basketball, I would like to do some easy sports, so doing individual sports is a good choice for me .20.Describe a time you are trying to do something that you have never done before.In the first year of my college, I want to go the stage to show myself in The school's New Year's eve party. I never play in such a big stage. So I make full preparation for it. Since I wanted to play a comedy, I had to write the screenplay, looked for other actors and make a schedule to rehearse. I became both a director and an actor. In that month, we were busy with this play. Sometime we even rehearsed until midnight. But during the process, I learned to how to make a plan, how to communicate with others and how to regulate a team. Finally, we won great success in the party and almost everyone laughed. It is a fantastic period when I was a director and an actor.21.Do you prefer to concentrate on one project at a time or to handle many works orprojects at once?Personally speaking, I prefer to concentrate on only one project at a time rather than handle a lot of works at once. I can easily be disturbed by other facts when I am doing my job. Once I get a subject, I regard other works as disturbance. My capacity of handling things is limited and I can’t care about two works or make two decisions at one time. Usually I will make a schedule before I begin a project, by following theschedule step by step, I can finish the task efficient. Another reason I do not like to handling too many works is that it makes me tired and impatient, as a result I will not finish any of them perfect.22.What do you do to keep yourself healthy? Explains why it is important for you.Please include reasons and details in you explanation.I think there are several measures to keep myself healthy. First of all, I do sports regularly. I join in a sport club in my school, and we organize some events every week. Sometime we play volleyball, basketball, and sometimes we have a competition. Additionally, I run several circles every day, usually in the evening. It helps me to have a nice sleep at night. Furthermore, I have a healthy diet to keep myself healthy.A regular and balanced diet is of great importance. With the supervising of my mother in my childhood, I have formed a habit of having enough vegetable and fruit every day. Thanks to the two important habits in my life, I have a sturdy body and seldom go to the hospital.23.Some people prefer to celebrate their birthdays or holidays with a large group ofpeople in a party. Others prefer to celebrate their birthdays or holidays alone and quietly. Which do you prefer and why? Include details and examples in your explanation.As for me, I will definitely celebrate my birthday or holidays with a large group of people in a party. It is a good chance to get together. Since some of my friends are busy with their study or work, we may not see each other for a long time. And a birthday party provides us a chance to communicate with each other. Additionally, holding a party is also a way to thank the people who give me presents or send me their wishes. It’s a good way to feed them back with good wine and delicious food. As a passionate and active person, I also regard the party as a good chance to make new friends.24.Describe one of your friends. Explain how you met and became friends.I want to talk about my best friend in my childhood, who means a lot to me, that is my neighbor. Since my parents are really busy with their works, I always stayed at home alone. He moved to my city when I was 10 years old. We fast know about each other. And he is always alone at home too. So he became a good company for me. We watched movies together, played football in the yard, and sometimes we even cooked ourselves. With the company of him, my childhood is full of happiness. We formed a firm friendship. I feel honored to have a so good friend.25.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Personality changes asone grows older.I do agree that personality changes as one grows older. I believe environment plays an important role in forge a person. What a person see and what a person hear will definitely change their value. Consequently, people change his personality in order to become the man he wants to be. For example, I used to be a very shy person when I was a child. I was not confident of myself. In the class, I seldom put up my hand to answer the question even though I knew the answer. Later on, my teacher told me I that I was a smart student and I should express myself in public. Since then, I took part in many competition and win some prizes and I am quite confident with myself now.26.Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should berequired to help with household tasks as soon as they are old enough to do so. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.I agree with the statement that children should be required to help with household tasks as soon as they are old enough to do so for the following reasons. First of all, it helps children to establish good habits. For example, my mother asked me to clean the house when I was a child because I always threw the rubbish at random. Since I experience the task of cleaning the house, I realized what I did before was absolutely wrong and I never litter rubbish again both at home and out of home. Second, doing the housework can also make children to be laborious. Nowadays, children are too lazy and they need to learn to be more diligent.27.Describe one thing you didn’t want to do but you were asked to do. Explain whatthe result of that thing was. Include reasons and details in your response.In the first year of my college, I was asked to go the stage to show myself in The school's New Year's eve party. I never play in such a big stage and I don’t want be there. However, my classmates push me take task. So I have to make some preparation for it. I had to write the screenplay, looked for other actors and make a schedule to rehearse. I became both a director and an actor. In that month, we were busy with this play. Sometime we even rehearsed until midnight. Finally, we won great success in the party and almost everyone laughed. Although I didn’t want to take the task, I still finished perfectly.28.Some people prefer to make detailed plans for the future. Others prefer toconcentrate on present things and don't make any plans at all. Which way do you prefer? Use specific reasons to support your answer.As for me, I prefer to make a detailed plan for the future rather than only focus on the present things for the following reasons. First of all, a person should have a goalworth his whole life to pursue. In order to achieve the goal, people need to make a big plan. Usually, the plan contains what he should do in every step of his life. Many successful people always has a plan in his mind. It is like a road sign in his life. Furthermore, a plan for the future makes people more energetic. Keeping a plan in mind will infuse energy into one’s life. It is like catalyst, which makes life enthusiastic.29.What do you think is the most important quality of a working environment: goodleaders, good colleagues, or flexible time?Among the three, I think a good boss is most important. Realistically, the boss is the one who give me salary. If the boss is a miserly person and I think I will not lead a pleasant life. Additionally, a good boss will give you a bright future. Is the boss cares about my development, then I will get a lot of chance to learn and promote. If the boss never cares about his staffs’ development, I think it is a disaster for me. Moreover, a good boss provides a pleasant work atmosphere. I cannot imagine how I will feel if I sit in an office facing a cold-blood boss. So I regard a good boss as the most important element of the work atmosphere.30.Do you agree or disagree: cell phone changes our lives greatly.Of course, I believe cell phones do enhance the standard of people’s life for the following reasons. First of all, cell phones promote the efficiency of communication. If you want to talk to someone, just take up the phone. It is much more convenient than sending a letter or using the telegram people used years ago. Second, cell phones also plays an important role in people’s leisure time. Playing games or reading news in cell phone has gained popularity among most teenagers. It is also a convenient way to learn. When you need some information, a cell phone can be of great help.31.Describe an interesting style of clothing in your country.32.Some people like to spend their spare time with friends, some people like to spendit alone. Which one do you prefer?As for me, I would like to spend my spare time with my friends rather than staying alone. I am an open and active person, when I am with my friends, I feel energetic and passionate. We often go out to do sports or go to the cinema. Since I spend a lot of time with them we form a firm friendship. Additionally, I like talk to my friends. When we have troubles, we often confide to each other. Compared to staying alone thinking and concerning, I prefer to spend my spare time with my friends. They know what I need and always give me their supports.33.If you were to become a volunteer at the school or in the community, what kind ofvolunteer work would you do and why?As for, I prefer to help to plant more trees. First of all , I used to plant some flowers at home, from which I learned some knowledge about the planting. So with the previous experience, I think I can do a good job in this kind of volunteer works. In addition, I think planting trees is creative and challenging. During the process, I can receive much more technology and knowledge about botany. Meanwhile, I can also learn some planting skills from the volunteer work. Furthermore, planting more trees is much more meaningful. Nowadays, the bad air condition has become a big threaten to people’s health. The more trees we plant, the more fresh air we will have. So I will choose planting trees as my volunteer work among the three.34.Do you agree or disagree with statement: artists and musicians are important toour society.I do agree with the statement that artists and musicians are very important to our society. First of all, they are the successors and spreaders of the human society. All the art works are the cultural crystal of the nation. For example, from the works of Vinci, we learn what people thought and what they admired at that time. We also receive much information about the history from their works. Second, artists and musicians enrich people’s spiritual life. Nowadays, more and more people go to the art exhibition or concert to enjoy the beautiful art. Appreciating the art work becomes a very important part in their lives.35.Talk about one activity you will do in the near future. Explain why you want to dothis activity.In the near future, I will go to the HK to further study. I choose HK because it is a charming city.The economy is developed, the culture is advanced and the scenery is beautiful. But what intrigues me most is the top-quality education there. There are some famous schools in HK such as the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.I want to be a scientist in energy science and there are some famous laboratories related to energy science in Hong Kong. If I go to Hong Kong to do further study, I believe my research skills will be promoted and my knowledge will be largely enriched.36.Some students take notes very often during class. Other students do not take notesor rarely take notes. Which do you think is better?Personally speaking, taking notes is of great importance during class. It has many benefits as follows. First of all, taking note helps a student concentrate on what theteacher talks. If a student takes down what the teacher, his mind and hand are working. In such a case, he cannot be easily disturbed. Second, taking notes is a good way to remember thing. Researchs have revealed that people will remember thing more efficiently if they use minds and hands together. Third, taking note helps students collect importance information. They can review the notes after class to figure out the problem left or prepare for the final exam. As far as I know, those who take notes in class carefully always get a high level in exams.37.Describe an important day in your life. Explain why it is important.As for me, August 2nd2010 is an important day for me because I get the college acceptance letter from Zhejiang University. I had been fighting for three years in high school to enter a good university. And Zhejiang University is a famous university in China. It has the beautiful scenery, excellent teachers and advanced laboratories. I live in a small town and not many people go to the colleges. So my parents are very proud of me. They prepared delicious food and good wine to celebrate. In that day, many relatives and friends called to congratulate me. I felt that my dream in the childhood had come true. I regard that day as my new beginning in my life which means a lot to me.38.Watching TV is not a good use of time. Do you agree or disagree?Personally speaking, I disagree with the statement that watching TV is not a good use of time for the following reasons. First of all, watching TV is a good way to learn. Many programs on TV are healthy and useful. In my family, we all like to watch the news on TV. And TV becomes a main resource to what happened around the world. Second, watching TV is also a good way to relax. Nowadays, many people are exhausted after work or school, they often lay on the sofa and watch some relaxed and funny programs to replenish some energy. Third, TV time is also a good time for the family to communicate. They talk to each other and keep a harmonious atmosphere. 39.Describe a historical event that you’re interested in most. Explain why you areinterested in it and want to know more about it. Include reasons and examples to support your response.I would like to say that mission of Apollo 11 is the historical event that I’m most interested in. I’m so fascinated in it because as a big space fan, I think it is the greatest achievement and the most ambitious adventure in our history. NASA carried out an incredible task of sending human beings to the Moon and bringing them back safely in just one decade. Yet the miraculous success causes a bitter controversy about its truth. Though I do believe that the mission of Apollo 11 is a success, not a lie, I still hope that NASA can provide indisputable facts to prove they are right.。
