1. Conventional wisdom holds that traditional methods like lecturing and memorization are old-fashioned while projects and collaborati ve learning are applauded. What’s your view?I think each has its own advantages and disadvantages.On one hand, Traditional methods like lecturing and memorization are irreplaceable. In thousands of years of cultural heritage in China, teaching and memory have always been the main way. When we are learning basic knowledge and theoretical knowledge, such as chemistry, physics and so on, we need teachers to teach and explain. We need to communicate with teachers to understand the knowledge. At the same time, we need do a lot of training and memory to better apply knowledge.On the other hand, project and cooperative learning are popular in recent days. This is enough to show that it does have some advantages. This way enables people to make the best of everything and give full play to their advantages. It can also effectively learn the strengths of others and improve their own shortcomings faster and better. At the same time, when students have acquired a certain knowledge, Projects and collaborative learning are good ways to combine theory and practice and achieve a deeper level of learning.From what has been discussed above, we should not abandon the advantages of the past learning methods. Only by combining the advantages of the new era learning methods with those of the past can we better adapt to the pace of modern learning.2. Teachers are suggested not to be concerned about the negative effects of picking winners and losers. Do you think that failure will traumatize students, sapping them of self-esteem?I think this situation varies from person to person. Failure for a strong-willed person will motivate him to move on, while failure for a weak-willed person may hurt his self-esteem. But anyway, I think life without failure is imperfect life, and people can become more mature only through failure.For teachers, negative effects should be avoided as much as possible. After all, it is impossible to know the attitude of all students towards difficulties. Some students who sap self-esteem will lose interest in learning. But some students can do better.From what has been discussed above,it can be seen that self-esteem is the source of student's enterprising power, so educators love students and protect students. Self-esteem is especially important to cultivate students' self-esteem. Teachers should change their teaching ways to different students. Only in this way can benefit the greatest number of students.3. The American Urban Dictionary, a popular online slang dictionary, includes several Chinese buzzwords, such as no zuo no die. Some people think it is a major victory for Chinglish speakers. Do you agree?I agree with this point. With the development of China, China's economic and cultural strength is gettingstronger and stronger, so that foreign scholars must pay attention to our country's culture. Chinese culture has an increasing impact on a global scale. So Chinese buzzwords are included in foreign dictionary is a major victory for Chinglish speakers.At the same time, I think this phenomenon is a process of integration of world cultures. With the change of the times, the language also changes. Some Chinese can’t be explained by English well, so there will appear new English words to depict the new Chinese words. Some commonly used Chinese adding to the dictionary can better improve people's expression ability.From what has been discussed above, I believe that national culture and economic strength are linked, not isolated. The prosperity of a country's culture cannot be separated from the support of economic prosperity. Today, the economic strength of our motherland is rising, so the status of Chinese culture in the world has been improved, and Chinese language has been accepted by more people.4. Why does a good dictionary have to take special care over common words instead of rare words? Illustrate your point with examples.Because common words are used very frequently, while rare words are rarely used in life. Good dictionaries focus on common words, which can well meet the needs of users, and are more widely used in life. If a commonly used word is not found in the dictionary or is incorrectly explained, this dictionary is definitely not a good dictionary.For example, compare a rare word with a common word. Rare words are used by very few people, while common words are used by most people. The function of a dictionary is to meet the needs of the majority of users, not to be designed for the minority. Therefore, a good dictionary will definitely pay more attention to the usage of common words, meet the needs of most users, and give full play to the role of the dictionary.From what has been discussed above, because common words are used in a high frequency and used by the large number of people. So a good dictionary is more concerned with common words.5.Many countries in the world have a mature film rating system, while there is no film rating system in China mainland. Do you think film rating system has more advantages or disadvantages? Illustrate your point.From my point of view, film rating system has both advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand, film rating system can effectively protect physical and mental health of teenagers. For example, children are not suggested to watch movies which include quantities of terror and violence scenes. What’s more, it is convenient for management, which can promote the development of the film industry.On the other hand, I think film rating system has more disadvantages. Everyone sees things differently. When evaluating a movie, we will carry emotional judgments. We cannot guarantee that everyone is rational. Maybe this movie is good, but I just do not like it and the rating is naturally unreal. Then the rating system isa mistake to a certain extent.From what has been discussed above, film classification has both advantages and disadvantages. When deciding whether to have a film classification, the pros and cons should be weighed.5. Some people prefer western films, thinking that they are more worth watching than Chinese films, while others like Chinese films better. What is your opinion? Illustrate your points.In my opinion, there is no comparison between Chinese films and western films. Different people have different preferences. For some people who enjoy western films, they may prefer pop culture and stunning visual effect. But for some people who likes Chinese films, they may prefer traditional culture.The film is used to communicate, is the author expresses his inner thoughts, the way to the world view. Foreign films and Chinese films may form a difference, but human nature is common. China's films also have bright spots, and foreign films also have rotten pieces.From what has been discussed above, for both western films and Chinese films, we should see their advantages and disadvantages. We should not praise one side while belittling another side.6. Some people say "If there was an experiment on Beethoven’s music, there would be the Beethoven Effect instead of the Mozart Effect. Do you believe so? Why or why not?“I think the Beethoven effect may exist, but it will not replace the Mozart effect. The music of Mozart and Beethoven has its own characteristics. Mozart's music can make the rough and hard things in our hearts soft, Beethoven's music can make the weak things in our hearts strong. But in general the influence of music on people is subtle.The "Mozart effect" refers not only to Mozart's music, but to music that has the same or similar musical structure. The Mozart effect can trigger positive emotions such as joy and pleasure, which in turn can boost cognitive processing.Beethoven music has its own characteristics, If there was an experiment on Beethoven’s music, it may also have a musical effect. Not just these two kinds of music, any kind of music can have a subtle effect on people. If we often listen to one kind of music, it will have a corresponding effect on us.7. Nowadays anyone can post information on the internet even if it is incorrect. As a result, most information we read is inaccurate." To what extent do you agree or disagree?I think some of the information we read is wrong. Since anyone can publish information on the Internet, as a result, most information we read is inaccurate. When we find the information we need, we may find some wrong information.This phenomenon is because no one verifies the correctness of these views and rejects the wrong ones. So we should have our own view when surfing the internet. We should learn to distinguish the true and falseinformation. We can use some official website to find information, so as to get the correct information.The Internet brings us a lot of convenience, but it also brings some disadvantages, such as incorrect information. I think we can do something about it. On the one hand, the government can introduce some management laws to regulate people's behavior of releasing information; On the other hand, when we act as publishers of information, we should be responsible for the content we publish and ensure its health and accuracy8. Many people have done a lot of experiments to prove that listening to music can make children smarter while many other scientific data also prove that music study does not make children smarter. Who or which group do you agree with and wdiehy?I agree with that listening to music can make children smarter. Music has a catalytic effect on one's intelligence. It can make people wiser and strengthen people's memory. Appreciating or playing music can strengthen the function of human's mental and nervous system. Visual memory and auditory memory can get exercise, emotional experience also can be strengthened. The person that makes music for a long time, have stronger memory, and is outstanding than normal person.Listening to music is also a kind of leisure, it helps people to combine work and rest, to avoid overwork. When we are tired, listening to music can relieve our tiredness, relieve our mood and improve our enthusiasm for life. Then we can regain the confidence to face life. Being in a good mood stimulates creativity, which makes music listeners smarter9. From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence is progressing rapidly. Will intelligent machines replace us, coexist us, or merge with us?I think AI will live with us. The rise of artificial intelligence has brought a lot of benefits to people. It has improved security and saved labor. For example: face recognition, speech recognition for people's security has played a great role; intelligent robots do heavy and dangerous work for people and so on. But artificial intelligence will not or cannot replace people, it is created by people, so it cannot surpass human beings, it will coexist with us.With the development of people's wisdom, artificial intelligence will also be further developed. It serves people's needs, obeys people's command, and will not surpass or replace people. It will make our life more convenient10 .What does self-reliance mean to you? Do you believe that it is one of the most important things a student could ever learn? What are the possible ways to build it?Self-reliance means relying on one's own strength to get things done.Whether a country or a person wants to pursue development, the most important thing is to adhere to self-reliance and independent innovation. Self-reliance can strengthen our ability to face any difficulties; Self-reliance is not only a spiritual belief, but also a path to action. Self-reliance will help us break the bottleneck of development on our way forward.Self-reliance not only lies in life, but also exists in work and study, we should set up a positive enterprising, hard-working spirit and cultivate good habits, so as to establish the ability of self-reliance.11. Grit, defined as passion and perseverance for long-term goals, is the best predictor of success. Do you agree with the statement? Illustrate your point with examples.I agree with this statement. I think that Grit is important for a person's growth and development. Grit is the foundation of achievement. Success belongs to the people who have grit. They will work to achieve their ideas according to the plan. When encountering difficulties, they never compromise. Their power does increase with the degree of obstruction.For example, our country determined to develop it’s economy. After decades of efforts, our GDP has exceeded 10 trillion dollars, making us the second largest economy, only behind the United States.Yuan longping was determined to study rice to solve China's food problem. After years of experiments, he succeeded in developing hybrid rice. His success has saved the Chinese people from starvation and the world from starvation.12. Among all the principles of Wait Disney’s success which do you value most? Why? What do you think you can learn from Walt Disney? Illustrate your points.Make Everyone's Dreams Come TrueYou Better Believe ItNever a Customer, Always a GuestAll for One and One for All.Dare to Dare.Practice, Practice, PracticeMake Your Elephant FlyCapture the Magic with StoryboardsGive Details Top BillingAmong all the principles of Wait Disney’s success, each principle is the secret of success and is worth learning for us. But I like the forth principle most, which is “All for One and One for All”. It emphasizes the importance of teamwork. Teamwork is seen as a way to cultivate strong loyalty and enthusiasm among employees. It emphasizes that people should help each other and promote each other instead of focusing onself-interest. I can share the fruits of others' labor and thoughts, and I can share mine with others. We are an inseparable whole of mutual benefit.From this we can learn that it is not easy for a company to succeed, it needs the joint efforts of all the members of the company, not only need teamwork, but also need innovation and courage. The principles of the company are also key to the success of the company. It is the philosophy that every employee practices. Only with good principles can employees work hard and achieve success.13. Do you like Disney films? In Passage One Walt Disney has been criticized for its negative social influences. Do you agree with the author? Illustrate your points.Just like many other children, when I was young, I like Disney films very much. Although some authors criticize Disney's negative impact on society, I don't entirely agree with the author. Everything has two sides. There are advantages and disadvantages at the same time. We should not throw away its advantages and only criticize its disadvantages. Although Disney didn’t deal with characters in terms of gender and race, it also brings many positive ideas to children. It allows children to have fun through movies, animations and so on, it teach children to learn about the world and knowledge.It's hard for a company to have the perfect recognition and social impact, and Disney has been a breakthrough in children's entertainment. It is an indispensable part of the life of many American families. In the future, I hope it can reduce the negative impact on society and strive to do better.14. Think of two misunderstandings you experienced when communicating with someone else at work, home or school. Discuss with your partners on the following questions. What seemed to be the main cause of the misunderstandings? How can we avoid being understood in our daily communication?There are many reasons for misunderstanding. But the main reason is not to understand the details or look at the problem more one-sided. For example, during the summer vacation, I was misunderstood by my boyfriend. One evening, a male classmate called to ask me how to do a problem. I talked for a long time because the problem was difficult. Then my boyfriend got angry because he thought I was too close to my classmates.From this little example, we can see that we must learn to look at problems with a calm mind. When we calm down to understand the cause of things, we can look at things more objectively, so there will be no misunderstanding. When we are angry or angry, we need to suppress our emotions and let ourselves see things calmly. This is not only important in dealing with interpersonal relationships, but also plays an important role in dealing with difficulties.What are the benefits of using dictionaries?

Why or why not?I think in today's life, we can’t find the love in the movies. The movie comes from life but is higher than life. Most of the love in the movie is unreal. For example, it is almost impossible for the prince to fall in love with Cinderella in reality. So I don't think we can find love in movies in today’s world.Secondly, love in the movie is a beautiful vision in people's hearts, so it is more romantic and legendary than the real love. Considering the love stories around us, whether they are lovers or husband and wife, they all have problems of large and small, and often have conflicts or quarrels. Therefore, fairy-tale love in movies cannot be found in reality.It seems that you have a deep understanding about this problem.。

2012-2013武汉理工大学英语口语考试

1.Do you think that earning more money can make people much happier?Unit 111)第一种观点：金钱就是幸福The money is everything. We usually work hard to earn money, and money can buy cars, houses and other things what you like. Now the girls get married with boy‟s house. They want to have a good life. So, we cannot live without money. This is my life goal. If I can get the money, we get the happiness. I like this feeling.2) 第二种观点：金钱不代表幸福Money can buy a lot of things, but can not buy love. The spirited is the soul in our life. There are a lot of people do not care about fame and money. Although lack of money in their lives, they feel very happy. So, money does not mean happiness. Many rich people live is not happy, because they need to worry about more things.3)第三种观点：没钱可以过得幸福，但是生活中需要钱。

I don't fully agree with this view that the money is happy. Our life cannot do without money, but money is not our whole life. The essence of life is going for freedom. The good life is not only including material also contains the spirit. Money is not the root of all evil. We can use the money to achieve many things, of course, can also from the spiritual harvest happiness.2.Women’s Social Status Unit 12There is no doubt that, nowadays, women play a more and more important role in society. A famous saying goes that, women, half of the sky. From ancient China to modern society, women's social status in China experienced a process: from low to high. In the past, the most important functions for women were just having children. People always look up to men and down on women. In modern society, women play a more and more important role in life. Modern women are independent, and they start to rely on themselves to achieve their goals. Chinese women no longer regard family as all and they don‟t just stay home, do house work and look after children like ancient women. Most of Chinese women have works as their husbands. They can work to support themselves, no longer relying on their husband materially and psychologically. Now, many women are going into professions, such as medicine, law and engineering. Women can also be seen in the political and economic life. I amfirmly convinced that gender discrimination will be eliminated one day, and women can enjoy the equal treatment as men.3.Whether does a visionary(有眼力的) company require a great idea? Whichdo you prefer, initial entrepreneurial success or visionary company success?Unit 13View 1: “a great idea”论I think a great idea is so important in creating and building a visionary company, because a great idea could attract people‟s attentions and catch people‟s eyes. As we know, in recent years, there are various kinds of new companies which all have huge competitiveness. So how can we stand out in those companies? Surely, we need a great idea. Of course, I don‟t claim that we don‟t have any plans after we have a great idea. A careful planning is also the key to success.View 2: “hard-working”论A great idea may make a difference in the early founding period, but if we spend a lot of time and money or pay more attentions to find a great idea, it will shift your attentions away from seeing the company as your final aim. In my opinion, a successful company needs professional knowledge and great ambitions. What‟s more, hard work is always the ladder to success forever.4.The culture difference between China and foreign countries. Unit 14(1) Good morning teachers, our topic is about the culture difference between China and foreign countries. First of all, I'd like to talk about something about culture difference. As we know, culture difference includes many things, such as value system, the habits of language, social etiquette(社交礼仪), the sense of equality (平等意识)and so on. With the development of China, they can be seen everywhere and affect our daily life.(2)Yes, I quite agree with the view above last classmate (I think you‟re right). When we do something with foreign people, the culture difference may be a problem. For example, In China, when you do something very good or make a big progress, others may say “Congratulations”, you may say ” where, where”. Your real meaning is that you progress is not very big which show our modest, but foreign peoplemisunderstan d your meaning. They may think you‟re asking him where you do the best and they may find out where you did best.(3)Your example sounds very interesting. I think this phenomenon mainly caused by the habits of language. I will give an example about marriage. In China, the bride and the bridegroom would in red clothes because they believe the red color represents good luck and happiness and the wedding would host in the bridegroom‟s house. But in the aboard, the bride always in her white wedding gown and their wedding will host in the church. I also think this is a reflection of culture difference.(4) The last classmate said very well. I really agree with his idea. Besides, I will give you a very important difference which is the sense of value. Chinese centered with collectivism(集体主义), but foreigners centered with individualism. Chinese pay attention to modest, but foreigners pay more attention to personal honor. I think this is the biggest difference between China and foreign countries.(5)Everyone has given a good speech. Indeed, China and many other countries have culture difference, but it‟s these differences strengthen the communication and promotes the development among them. I believe our world may become better in the future through culture exchanges.5.The applications of glass in daily life. Unit 15As we know, we can see the glass at many places in everyday life. We use glass as container, vases(花瓶) and so on. There are many applications of glass in our daily life.A crucial use of glass is for making windows. The glass windows let light into our house making house become more blight, allowing house dirty become more apparent and leading to improvement in health. The shopkeepers use glass windows to display their product and the stained-glass windows make the house more beautiful. Another use of glass is making glass bottles. Glass bottles contribute to the storage of drinks, foods and medicines, allowing wine and beer to be more easily stored and transported.We can also use glass to make eyeglass. It improves our sight, lengthens our working life, and protects our eyes.In a word, the glass is very useful to our daily life.6.What special festivals are there in China? Which do you like to celebrate? 6.1(1) Tale of NianWe call the Spring Festival Nian, but did you know that Nian was once the name of a terrible, scary monster? A long time ago, the monster Nian lived in the mountains. It looked like an ugly dragon, and got angry easily.Nian ate animals. But in winter, it could not find food. So it came to many villages and ate people. People were so afraid of Nian that they locked their doors before evening came during the winter.One day, an old man came to a village. He told people there that Nian was afraid of three things—red color, fire and noise. He told people to play drums and gongs (铜锣), make big fires and set off fireworks (放鞭炮) to make Nian go away.On a moonless, cold night, Nian went to the village again. As soon as it opened its big mouth, people made loud noises and made fires. Nian was really afraid and ran away. Wherever it went, there was noise and fire. When Nian was tired and could not run anymore, people killed the monster.After that, on the coldest day of winter, people beat drums and gongs, and set off fireworks to celebrate the death of the monster of Nian. They put up red lanterns (灯笼) and have a big dinner without sleeping during the night, and greet each other happily in the next morning.(2) Brief Introduction of Spring FestivalThe Spring Festival is the most important festival for the Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like Christmas in the West. All people living away from home go back, becoming the busiest time for transportation systems of about half a month from the Spring Festival. Airports, railway stations andlong-distance bus stations are crowded with home returnees.The Spring Festival falls on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month. Strictly speaking, the Spring Festival starts every year in the early days of the 12th lunar month and will last till the mid 1st lunar month of the next year. Of them, the most important days are Spring Festival Eve and the first three days. The Chinese government now stipulates people have seven days off for the Chinese Lunar New Year.7.What do you think are popular western festivals that Chinese like tocelebrate? Why? 6.2In my point of view, this is a good trend. It can account for several reasons. Firstly, nowadays we live in a multicultural world. Everything around us has changed. We must absorb it, instead of discarding(丢弃) it. When facing it, we can absorb the essence(精华) and discard the crude. Secondly, since we joined in the WTO, we have been influenced by foreign culture. Some are very interesting and fascinating. Gradually we are assimilated by the “imported goods”. By celebrating western festival, we can better understand and appreciate it. What‟s more, it also can promote the personal consumption, thus boost our economy.8.Describe a foreign food you would like to try 6.3When I was preparing what to say just now, the first dish that popped into my head was Indian curry(咖喱), so that's what I've decided to talk about.As for where you can get this dish, well, apart from obviously going to India to eat it, there are, as far as I know, a number of Indian restaurants dotted around my hometown which serve curry, although for some reason, I haven't got around to going to any yet; maybe it's because there are so many decent restaurants here in Hangzhou!Anyway, moving on to how I know about this dish, well to be honest with you, I'm not all that sure how I got to know about Indian curry, but I guess it's kind of been a mixture of hearing about it from people, and reading about it in various books and magazines. In fact, I remember reading, only a few weeks ago, a review in the local paper about a recently-opened Indian curry house which apparently does really authentic Indian curry, so I can't wait to check it out sometime!And finally, if there's still time, with regards to why I would like to try this dish, well thinking about it, I would say that one of the main reasons would be that I haven't actually tried it before, which I admit is a little surprising, seeing as most people my age have probably tried it at some stage or other. And as for other reasons, well I suppose I should also mention the fact that I'm a huge fan of spicy stuff, and if Thai curry is anything to go by, I reckon I would really like the taste of Indian curry, as I'm sure they're not that different.So, I guess there are many things to say, so thanks very much for listening.

To whom is it OK and to whom is it not OK? 6.5From my point of view, People from different places have different ways of acting, so it is important to try to do things the way local people do. Because this will make the local people feel more comfortable with you around, also you will feel closer to them. Also, it‟s nothing when I talk to my mother or my close friends directly, but it's not ok when you talk to strangers in this way. So, to different people, you should talk in different ways.10.Do you think “when in Rome, do as the Romans do” is always a good advice?Defend you viewpoint with justifiable evidence. 6.6In my opinion, it can help us join the natives more quickly that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. We can learn their culture more easily and make friends with them more easily. But I don‟t think it is always a good advice. Because another culture has a lot of special rules, we can‟t act well as the natives. It may cause some troubles. On the other hand, people always like new things, maybe our culture can cause their interests, and our culture is also worth respecting.This is a good trend. It can account for several reasons. Firstly, nowadays we live in a multicultural world. Everything around us has changed. We must absorb it, instead of discarding it. When facing it, we can absorb the essence and discard the crude. Secondly, since we joined in the WTO, we have been influenced by foreign culture. Some are very interesting and fascinating; gradually we are assimilated by the “imported goods”. By celebrating western festival, we can better understand and appreciate it. What‟s more, it also can promote the personal consumption, thus boost our economy.11.Do you think earning more money can bring you more happiness? Why? 7.11) Yes, I am worried about money every day, how long should I buy a house in the city. If I earn more money, I could buy what I want and I think I would be happier. In fact, many people think more money could bring more happiness, although it is not objective. Money can solve many problems. If money could not bring happiness, why are we trying our best to work hard to earn money?2) No, I don‟t think earning more money can bring me more happiness. Money is not everything. Earning more money just can improve my quality of life, but can‟t satisfy my spirit. Happiness is a kind of spiritual experience. Anything can‟t replace it. And money can‟t buy kinship, friendship and love. If I just have money, but no friends, no family, no lover, I would be very painful. It is not necessary to pursue money blindly. At last, maybe you will find that you are so poor that you just have money.12.What is your definition of successful life? 7.2In my opinion, successful life consists of family and career. Only the two aspects succeed, can we say we have a successful life.What family can be seen as a successful family? First of all, we should be in harmony with each other. In addition, the members of the family should be physically and mentally healthy. As for the successful career, firstly, the field I work must be that I like most or I can do best. What‟s more, the company should be potential so that I could have a bright future. Meanwhile, I can get along well with the colleagues,The definition of success life should be found by oneself. The feeling of happiness life should be interpreted by oneself. Don't get lost in the others‟ opinion. Career cannot be flashy, but accomplished. Love without words, just thinking about. Without abundant money, just enough is OK. No need long life, just keep healthy. Friends are not needed more or less, just understanding.13.Describe an important stage or an enjoyable stage of your life 7.3One of the most important times in my life, as it is in almost everyone‟s life, was when I was sixteen.I was in high school in Beijing. I was a kind of a shy teenager and only had one friend. We were very close and did everything together. We would often go to each other‟s house for sleepovers, and would stay late at night chatting about everything two children could ever chat about. We were best of friends until one day when we had a terrible misunderstanding. She thought I had told someone a secret that she had told me, and she decided not to be my friend anymore. She made a new best friend and would strut around with her trying to make me jealous. She would gossip with all the other kids about me. I suddenly became an outcast at school, and thus, became utterly lonely and depressed. I thought there was something seriously wrong with me.It was not until I talked with my cousin about my situation, that I realized it was not me that had a problem but her. I also began to understand that you can not takewhat others say and do so close to heart, or you will always feel bad about yourself, and will never be able to live your life. I also realized that bad things happen in life, and you can not hide from them or dig yourself into a hole. I eventually found a new best friend, whom I am still friends with today. I have a more open personality, and I am one of the top students in my college. I believe that situation made me a stronger person. I can handle rejection now wherever it comes from, and just keep rolling witha smile on my face.14.Describe the happy moments in your life to your group and explain why youfeel that way. 7.4You can say something about travel, party, thinking alone or someone or something that takes happiness to you. Such as, spending time with my family, getting a message from my lover, listening to my lover's voice on the phone, admiring the beauty of nature, going for a ride in the car with no destination, seeing old friends, and visiting places with fond memories from my childhood.For Example, I always get happy when I ‟m staying with my family. I love this kind of feeling because I don‟t need to worry about troubles, and we can chat together whatever we like and let me feel a sense of belonging. And I can feel the warm and sincere. I have been studying away from home so many years. Time flies, time that can spend with them become less and less. I really miss this moment very much. 15.The knowledge of “Chinese philosophy” 7.5We have to think of Confucius(孔子)When it comes to …Chinese philosophy‟. In my opinion Confucianism‟s greatest contribution to the Chi nese nation is its shaping and molding of the Chinese character and national soul and its founding of the complete system of knowledge. For example, the ethical(伦理) thought of Confucius can be summed up as the following five cardinal virtues: loyalty, piety(孝顺), affection and love, faithfulness and righteousness(正直). These high standards of morals are our national spirit.While they also tried their best to explain naturally occurring phenomena, what concerned them most were social issues. The purpose of learning the "orders of things" was to provide a better and more systematic explanation to human matters."To examine heavenly order to learn human affairs(究天理而知人事)" -- perhaps considered the prime task by ancient Chinese philosophers --characterized Chinese philosophy with the distinct feature of giving great attention to societal needs. The focal point on people led to Chinese philosophers' suffering and worries about society, especially at the times of social chaos.On the other hand, Chinese had a good tradition of theoretical thinking. Though the focus was always on human affairs, Chinese philosophers were always looking for a reason to develop thought that explained ordinary or mundane affairs of theday-to-day world.Chinese philosophers researched a wide range of subjects on ancient, modern, eastern, and western philosophies, striving to improve China's own philosophy. The trend is still continuing today, forming a new mixed cultural philosophy.As a result of its features, Chinese philosophy has always had a close relationship with society in its development process. The "misfortunes" the nation has suffered from time to time presented major philosophical challenges, and the "fortunes" of philosophers were vital creations as responses to philosophical subjects of the time. 16.The white lie（善意的谎言）and honesty 7.61）Honesty refers to the quality of a person who tells the truth and works without deception(欺骗). Honesty is a virtue admired everywhere, while dishonesty is generally despised and condemned.2）We need honesty in our daily life, without it, the original orderly society will become disruption. To some extend, we might have told lie to someone.Function of the white lie:(1) Comfort others(2) To give a positive signal to others(3) Relieve someone's worries(4) It is one kind of polite in order to avoid hurting someone‟s feeling17.Why do modern Chinese youth postpone(延迟) their marriage? 8.1Marriage is everyone's dream, however nowadays many youth postpone the marriage. What happened to them? Are they afraid of getting married? Or theydon‟t have found the right one.They may be psychologically ready to get married, but hindered by the cost of property. At the same time, nowadays, the youth have high expectations of marriage, which costs a lot of money. On the thought of the burden of their kids' education, they are a little afraid of marriage. Besides, many young people, especially women, want to choose their own career opportunity without any effects of their families.18.What has resulted in the increasing divorce rate in modern society? 8.2Arranged marriage has b ecome the past. But free love marriage doesn‟t bring happy family life. Nowadays the divorce rate increases. This is a problem. But what are the reasons?A: Today we want to talk about the reasons of divorce.B: Guys, here is the date of divorce rate recent years in China. Obviously, the divorce rate is increasing.C: Without those dates, I also have this kind of impression, because many couples have divorced or consider to divorce.A: Someone considers the divorce as a progress in social democracy.B: In fact this kind of viewpoint has its reasons. You see, several decades ago marriage is arranged. Marriage between male and female is almost for some utilitarian(功利)purpose.A: Yes, I agree with you. That time marriage is just for politics or economy. Love is ignored. But nowadays marriage usually bases on free love. This kind of marriage respects love between male and female. As far as we know, the respect of human rights is the basement of social democracy.C: I partly agree with you. Compared to the point of claiming the increasing divorce rate as a progress in social democracy, I more agree with this kind of view. The kind of view is aiming the increasing divorce rate as a decline in social morality.A: So what do you mean? You mean arranged marriage better?C: I don‟t mean this. I mean we have lost some good social moralities. Several decades ago, these moralities exited. But now we are losing them.B: According to your way of thinking, I should agree with you. Perhaps the increasing divorce rate partly reflects a progress in social democracy and a decline in social morality. The problem should not be so easy to be resolved.C: So you now have no idea. But I persist my viewpoint.19.Marriage in China and western countries 8.3In the traditional Chinese marriage, there are three letters cover betrothal(订婚) letter, gift letter and wedding letter. The gifts must be prepared well. To some degree, marriage in China is benefit to family. It is not only about individual emotion but also family‟s stripe. However, i n western countries, the marriage is individual problem.It‟s the prefect ending of love.20.What qualities in a (marriage) partner are important to you? Describe thequalities 8.4I suppose that depends on the person. I myself would look for the following qualities in a mate:1) Humor- I like to laugh, so I love people who make me laugh.2) Loyalty- It is very important to find someone who believes in commitment(保证) and will be loyal to you in marriage or in a simple dating relationship.3) Communication- You need to be able to talk to your partner and trust that they will take into consideration you thoughts and opinions. If your relationship lacks this one simple quality, then you may as well be kissing a brick wall.4) Compromise- Both partners need to be able to give a little. One reason I believe a lot of relationships fail is because one or both partners are selfish and want things their way.5) Common goals- It is important to discuss with you partner things such as plans for your life, and whether or not you want children.6) Love- There is a difference between Infatuation and Love. Don‟t let your heart get in the way of your mind and reason. Give it time to mature and don‟t hog making any long term commitments until you are sure that what your feeling is real. Be sure that you partner is will to do the same.This is only my opinion. And I'm still young, but these are things I have been taught. And these are the things I will apply to my life.21.Do you “go Dutch” when dating? What do you think about “go Dutch”? 8.5I usually go Dutch when dating, especially in restaurant. Usually I will treat them this time, while someone will treat us next time. We follow this style one by one. Also, sometimes in restaurant everyone pays what he orders and sits together and has the food separately.In China, people like to invite guests and treat them a feast. This is not a “going Dutch” style. “Going Dutch” style is usually used among friends.But I will never go Dutch in my future marriage life. I think this will make our relationship cool down, and even may break our marriage.22.Nowadays many newlyweds choose to have a naked wedding without a house,a car, diamond ring or grand wedding ceremony. What is your opinion onnaked wedding? 8.6FOR:(1)Such a wedding shou ldn‟t be tagged with this title. It is normal for young people. I think the whole society has a twisted concept over marriage and happiness.(2)It is nothing to ashamed of to rent an apartment. In our parents‟ generation, they married …naked‟ and started t heir life from scratch(白手起家).(3)A love marriage is a union of two individuals based upon mutual love, affection, commitment and attraction.AGAINST:(1)A nine-yuan certificate marriage without material foundation is as fragile as a sheet of paper and cannot withstand any obstacles(障碍).(2)We don‟t want to empty our wallets to become slaves to a marriage. I am still young and I hope I will see the day when the property market bubble bursts(泡沫破裂). But before that I can‟t accept a naked wedding.23.What is important in choosing a job? 9.1There are some important factors we should consider when choosing a job：SkillsA job that lets you to make full use of your skills and experience has a lot of advantages. First, you can put your investment in your education and training to work. More importantly, you are more likely to feel passionate and equipped in a job that you are properly trained to do. Your company will also be more satisfied if you are in a position that you can handle with few problems.InterestsBeing motivated in your job usually requires more than the ability to do the work. You also want to have an interest in your job and the effects it has on your company and its customers. For example, someone who works in advertising enjoys the challenge of creating concepts, ad copy or visuals. On the other hand, if you enjoy helping people solve problems, you might want to pursue a job in customer service. A curious mind might lead you to a research or science position.CultureAlignment of values is another critical, if overlooked, consideration in choosing a job. Even if you have interest in and skills for the position, you won't be happy if you are constantly faced with value conflicts. For example, you might enjoy your work as a product researcher for a manufacturing firm, but feel uncomfortable that your employer dumps toxins in a nearby river. You might enjoy being a sportswriter for a newspaper, but find its editorial viewpoints offensive. Make sure you don't feel guilty collecting your paycheck every week.Objectives（目标）Before saying yes to a job, you also need to evaluate your short-term andlong-term career objectives. In the short-term, a job that helps you grow your skills might work. If you are more advanced in your career, however, you might have more interest in picking a job with stability, good pay and adequate benefits. Knowing howa job fits into the small and big picture plans makes your decision a little easier.24.9.225.Describe your ideal job 9.3When I was a little child I found being a teacher was very interesting. And, I like to stay with students all day long. The students are very sunny and lovely. So I have made up my mind to be a teacher. I choose to do so mainly for several reasons. First, I want to teach because I want to teach and I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lesson, and to educate the students how to be a good person. Second, I can have the opportunity to keep on learning. Third, I think it is noble to spread knowledge.I hope I can become a good teacher and have many great students in the future. I believe my dream will come true sooner or later.。

武汉理工大学研究生英语口语复习资料总结（版权所有者资环研1201班）1、The differences between Chinese and American educationGood morning teacher:They think that Chinese education can efface students’ creativity and enthusiasm for learning. In my opinion, the case can appear because Chinese education is different from American education.First of all, Chinese support all-rounder education. They think that their children who were in very young can not lose in starting line. Hence, when children should be spoiled, children would have been forced to learn piano, dance, drawing, and English. Children lose their simplicity, the curiosity about interest and childhood joy. Children are only arranged to do what parents want them to do.However, American supports professional skills. They think that it is good their children have a personal strength. In elementary school, children can learn how to play; in middle school, children can found their personal strength; and to senior high school, children must be sure their roads. In college, children can develop their profession.In addition to basic education, most people’s opinion are that Chinese education is for foundation education, and American education is for the cultivation of students’ creativity, but it can let students learn more. Chinese education focuses on the knowledge to accumulate and indoctrinate, on how use and manage the knowledge they learned in school is not taught. Reversely, American care more about how students use knowledge in society. Most important, their education style is different. Chinese education style can be called “Exam-oriented Education”. At school, the class cadence is always dominated by the teacher. What’s more, the score can determine students’ everything, including you are good or bad. American education style can be called “Quality-oriented Education”. It cultivates the creativity and ability of students so that they can meet the needs of society in the future.Comparing between countries can make us have a clear opinion about what we should improve. It is essential for our Chinese to adopt some good education methods from other countries. It helps to educate our children to be a person with high IQ and EQ.2、The real purpose of educationThe purpose of education is one of the main focuses of the society. Some of societies think that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit, while some other societies think that formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free. And I think our education should not only teach the younger generation common sense of the world but also sharp their critical mind and creation ability, find their gifts and fulfill them to make contributions.However, the purpose of education is not only making students know something but also making them have critical sense. Based the common sense of world, student would have the courage to doubt the authority and speak out their own opinions.In addition, for ordinary people, their felling of happiness comes from their affection and sentiment but not reasoning and logos. To cultivate Imagination and enthusiasm, the ability of creation; they must can grasp the afflatus and break the tradition.Nevertheless, the means of education may have its own problems. The school today overemphasis the things which are known to be true and the students pay too much attention on memory those things. And those things distort the real purpose of education. We must do our best to change these situations and give the younger generation a health environment for studying.Time is changing and developing. Our means of education must according to the development of the society in order to re-shape the younger generation meet the purpose of education. The younger generation of our society must not only have basic sense of the traditional things but also the ability of creation.3、Successful result of the educationThe successful result of the education is not about having good grades. But it's about having open-mind with the people around you during the process of your education, about how much you have learned from others. Learn to find our gifts, to solve the problem by ourselves , to fulfill our talent to make great contributions , to make the change, to help others with what we learn.It' better to teach a man fishing than to give him the fish.Show him how to walk rather than taking him to the destination.4、Ebook VS Paper bookWhat do you think is better for reading an ebook or a traditional paper book, and what do you see as differences between them ?the advantages of ebooks are that1. you do not have to pay for most of them2. you can have almost every position you want (that is hard to find in local library or book store)3. you can send it to your friendthe advantages of paper book1. you do not use your eyes sight as mush as while reading e-books2. Reading book with a cup of tea is like an art /like sacret custom. It has its like to smell new bought book and take care of it while reading.I prefer ebook because I can bring them wherever I want in my cellphone. To be frank, I can save me a lot of money to buy books.5、The sports I likeMy best favorite sport is basketball. Everybody likes playing basketball in university. I love playing basketball, too. It’s my favorite. I go to play it in our school gym as long as I have time, My teacher told me that playing basketball would make me tall and strong and he encourages me to play it more often. I play harder than before. My teacher teaches me how to play it better. I made progress. I have my own way to play it.Basketball is a very good sport. It can strength our bodies. It is a good way to relax, release our pressure too. My favorite basketball player is Kobe Bean Bryant, it is because him that I begin to play basketball and I gradually love to play basketball, he is a great basketball player and he has tenacious perseverance. His ball skill is so miraculous, and now he is in the . Lakers, and being the key figure to shoulder a responsibility. I like him so much.Since basketball is so interesting, let’s play basketball together, ok?I am sure it will make our college life wonderful and encourages us to perform well in every field.6、World car Free DayOn world car free day-September the 22nd, people are advocated to use environmentally friendly transportations such as buses, underground, bikes, or on their bare foot, instead of driving private cars which do great harm to the increasingly worsening global warming, air pollution , traffic accidents, etc.There is no doubt that the intention of this activity is very good, however, the implementing is below expectation. At the very beginning, people were interested in it and took part in it, but as time went on, participants became less and less. And now, the condition becomes even worse. Some people say that world car free day is indeed a wonderful activity; but on the other hand, it is quite unrealistic. For it can not arouse more people’s attention and can not change people’s habits of driving. It can not change the deteriorated environmental condition in one day in such a stupid way. To cater to this activity, some cities even forbid cars in certain areas, which make the jam worse in the surrounding areas. However, we should know clearly the main purpose of the world car free day. We do not prohibit cars, which sounds impossible for people in 21st century. We just want to recall people’s attention on environmental and traffic problems. To make life better and faster, we invented cars, but as a result, we become slower because of traffic jam and our life becomes worse because of the air pollution, sound pollution, global warming. The world car free day is an opportunity for people to remind the necessity of reducing private car driving. At least, people can walk or ride bicycles if the destination is not far. This is the solid foundation to alleviate the aftermaths of private cars. People realize the root of their problems, and then they can solve it probably. I do believe our world will becomea better place because of the implement of world car free day.7、Tiger mother and cat motherAs we all know, education plays an important role in the development of human. So educational style is a good topic which is worth thinking about. Recently, the educational styles of tiger mother and cat mother are so hot in society.Chuan army stands for the style of tiger mother , Chang Zhitao stands for the style of cat mother . They use two different absolutely educational ways, but their children are all excellent and outstanding.The style of tiger mother is similar to Chinese parents’ style in which they treat their children. She is so strict with her two daughters, Sophia and Louisa in every aspect of lives. She makes a lot of requirements for them, for example, watching TV or playing computer games is not allowed, as well as getting any grade less than an A. Even a Chinese child like me is so surprised to know those requirements from a mother. However, the educational style of “cat mother” is kind and democratic. He prefer to respecting the choices which are made by his daughter, Chang Shuai. In addition, communicating with Chang Shuai and knowing about what she is thinking are necessary in life. Not like tiger mother, “cat mother”gives much freedom to his daughter, he encourages Chang Shuai to join in various society activities and he doesn’t force Chang to study hard and better. I think just because he trusts his daughter that she can do well, he choose kinder and tolerant educational style.I was raised with the style of cat mother. My mother can listen to my thoughts and respect my choice. I feel very happy and relaxed. Of course, in the future, I will pick the style of cat mother for my children. According to my points, Freedom is so vital to children. They can do whatever they like, apparently, the things they do must be beneficial to the growth of them. What’s more, Teaching them lots of human principle in a relax atmosphere and encouraging them to think things by themselves are so necessary. I do think parents should give much more freedom to their children!1-StudyA: Good morning\afternoon teachers,we are very happy for today’s oral test. Today, our team’s topic is “study”. As is well-known, study is very important, and it plays a very significant role in modern world. B: Everything that makes our society more advanceable, is depended upon the study. We read more books and fewer mistakes would be made by us. For that, we can learn more mistake examples from books so that we will make few mistakes in the future.C: Personally speaking, study can make a full man, can cultivate a man, and can make a man move forward. We read all kinds of books that contribute to perfect our knowledge structure and form critical thinking. So we should read books of various fields to make us be a full man. That alsocan learn more about our world in all aspects. In my opinion, a full man should have a positive world view and adopt an active philosophy of life, which are usually based on a knowledge culture.D: Studies can make people happy, wise, increase knowledge. If we read all kinds of books, in that way, we are able to taste what might not happen to us in real life, and then ask ourselves what we should do in that situation.D: What’s more, we should choose some book to read, but not read all the books. Some useful books should be read carefully and taken notes. Different books have different functions, and reading different books can bring different knowledge which we lack.1-EducationA: Good morning\afternoon teachers,we are very happy for today’s oral test. Today, our team’s topic is “education”.As a developed country of the world, the American not only leading in the science and the economy, American scientists also have received a disproportionately high number of the Nobel prizes awarded in the physical and life sciences. Its educational system stands apart from the rest of the world. American’s success regard to many reasons , and now we talk about it.B: I think the American education operates with a free market spirit in a much less regulated, more laissez-faire climate. Its curricular organization is less structured, allowed the students themselves the freedom to make their own educational choices. This aspect of the American system is its strength, I believe.C: I think the subject is one point. Most American institutions of higher universities teach in a student-sensitive manner and offer a great variety of courses that will attract as many students as possible.D: Although American education is a laissez-faire curricular organization, it’s also strict. Sometimes students r play too much or is too relax, they are not able to stay in the universities for the higher grades, contribute to the students work hard.A: I think another reason lies in the American’s organization which other countries can copy, but they will not find it easy. Every year not only the states poured money into community colleges, it also attract a wide range of patrons from state governments to religious bodies, from fee-paying students to generous philanthropists which brought a lot of money in construction of university.The challenges in a university could be:Time management ;cultural customs ;get involved in new environment ;academic burden ;learn new skills ;peer pressure ;join different societies ;weather and food ；local accent ;read and write in academic english.；love.第二章1:do you agree that "money talks"?what are the thingsthat money can buy and cannot buy?money talks means that rich people or organizations can get or do what they want.I do not agree with can't live without money ,but it doesn't mean money is think money is just a tool we need to should control money ,not by it .we human are the masters of it .money serve for ue. No matter how much money you give ,a person with high quality can't do what you want if it is illegal or standard of people's life do not have something to do with you have ,but about happiness and so on.For example ,money can buy beautiful houses ,but it can't buy an exact home or the happiness that you stay with families ;it can buy expensive cars ,but it can't buy the people you love to sit beside you ;it can buy friends ,but it can't buy a true friendship ;it can buy medical treatment ,but it can't buy time and health ;it can buy books ;but it can't buy knowledge and so on.It brings you food ,but not appetite ;medicine ,but not health; acquaintances ,but not friends ;servants ,but not loyalty ;days of joy ,but not peace of happiness.Yes, I can’t agree more .The attitude toward about money.The grandparents: they have experienced the most difficult times in china. So they are very frugal, they spend one cents as two cents. And they will be willing to spend money only when it must be. Most of them like to hide the cash at home. They don’t think put the money in the bank is safe. Often they are willing to put all of their money to their children, although this is not a large sum of money. And I believe this is their greatest love to the younger generation.Parents:most of them are frugal. They only spend money in the things what they think it’s worth. And they put most of the wage in the bank. Maybe to them, they regard the more and more in the bank card as a kind of assurance of life. And one day, when there is a need. Parents will take out all their life saving with no hesitation. For example, they will help their son to buy a house for he married, or they will spend the money for their children to study abroad.Ourselves:most of us don’t know the difficult of making money. We spend money on anything we want. Even someone spend one yuan as one jiao . they are moonlight group. Whenever and wherever if they have money in their pocket, they will spend it over immediately. They shout the slogans” money will come and go, enjoy the life is the most im portant.”But the majority of us are not like that. We get the money, but we save a part of it in the bank.

研究生英语口语考试问题及答案

U.1.What is the best way to educate our children？Who gives them more influences, teachers or parents?Nowadays, more and more teachers focus on the education for their students, they are eager to find a best way to solve this problem, as well as the parents.Importantly, we have to consider the students themselves. What we do will benefit them?We must enhance their knowledge and wisdom to solve kinds of problems and questions, so if we want to educate for success, we must make sure that what the students need. Unlike the past days, nowadays the students not only need knowledge in book, but also need something innate. They need to study, and to study in a very healthway and with a very relax heart. Here we can get some information that is to give the students the knowledge and happiness both.I think that the parents are more influential than the teachers. The first reason is that it helps a student identify himself/herself through the parent‟s role modeling. Secondly, the parent‟s positive influence provides a secure environment for proper developmentof a student. Lastly, the importance of a parents influence on a student can be recognized by the impact it has on society.Unit1.2 Do you think it important to cultivate students’ creativity?I think it is important .The standardization of thinking is the leading factor that kills Chinese innovative thinking. American education focuses on cultivating self-confidence, and Chinese students often lack self-confidence. American students are often arrogant, and Chinese students are often humble. Education in the west is different from ours: it trains students' problem consciousness and critical thinking from primary school. but we often cultivate students' obedience to what the teacher says.Unit1 .3 What are the problems with the educational system of China? Is the system quality-oriented or test-oriented?In China, there are so many problems with the educational system. But the three problems about education must be paid much attention at least. Firstly, the entrance-exam problem, youngsters have to bury themselves in book stacks in order to pass the entrance exam, completely divorced from social reality. Secondly, the quality problem, there is no denying the fact what the students learn in university cannot meet the need of the rapid development society. Finally, the employment problem, as I have said in the above that the quality has declined, so high-education and employment are obviously incompatible. How to solve these problems? In my opinion, the governmentmust relax its unnecessary controls on the universities, and give schoolsfull autonomy to pilot their own reforms. Only in this can we solve the problem of education. In light of this, we can find that the educational system of China is thetest-oriented.Unit1,4What kind of teacher is an ideal one?can you describe a teacher who give you most influences? will you become a teacher when you finish your graduate program?Ideal teachers must be patient and they can express their own meaning clearly. They should have good professional knowledge about the course they teach and they like the course they teach. What‟s more, they can teach students in accordance of their aptitude The teacher is my Chinese teacher when I was in third grade. Sheknew our advantages and disadvantages, and she could praise and criticize us properly.I want to become a college teacher. Because college teachers‟ work has more free time, I can have more time to care for my family.Unit1 ,5Is it necessary for the graduating students to write and defend graduation theses?I think writing and defending graduation theses is necessary. Completing the graduation theses is the basic condition for college students to graduate.At the same time, defending graduation theses can urge the students to write their papers independently. So this is a meaningful learning process and a conclusion of what we have learned during the past four years. It can train and increase the ability to scientific research and cooperate with others. What‟s mo re, it also can improve work efficiency and let us feel the sense of responsibility. It is the key to open the door of our later success.Unit2,1In these days ,job hopping is avery common phenomenon.what are the reasons for the job_hopping?should stay in one career the whole life or change job frequentenly?I think the following factors contributing to people‟s job-hopping. First, when some employees suffer limitation in promotion and there is no space for them to develop, job-hopping becomes common like potluch. Second, some people are different, they are in the habit of job-hopping, for they always pursue what is new and stimulating. Finally, when you stay in one career for a long time, you will lose your interest. In my opinion, we should not change our job frequently. because every job is a chance for us to gain wider experience .And you will lose this opportunity if you change job frequently.If you change youjob,you would have to start all over again from the beginning.So ,you‟dbetter not change your job frequently.Unit2,2Do you want to be a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a small pond?With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as General Motors. You will have the opportunities of learning from experienced executives and knowing about the standard working process. There is no doubt that the experience here will widen your horizon and youwill gain access to the latest information which could help you enhance your competitiveness in your major. With the latter, you will have great responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect. Normally, you are exposed to various experiences and expected to do a great many things without much help or guidance. And here I can control more resources than what I can in big company. However, the mechanisms of small company lack of flexibility, which will hinder the people‟s promotion. Personally, I prefer to work in a big enterprise when I was young, because I could get a good position as long as I work hard.Unit 2 ,.3if you are a boss,do you like to recruit experienced people or green hands?If I am a boss,I am inclined to recruit those experienced ones . First of all, I think ,when faced the work , the experienced will be better to understand the process of the job, and complete the work more efficiently . As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. They may have new techniques and methods.Secondly, they know how to communicate and get along with related persons.This is good to fewer conflicts between employees. Finally , the company do not spend too much energy to train them,so they will be able to create value for the company when they entered the company.Unit2,4With the soring house price in big cities,would you still choose to work in first_tier cities upon grauation?No, I would not choose to work in first-tier cities upon graduation, although there are more working opportunities. The reasons are as follow. The first, the house price is so high that I can‟t afford it. The second, comparing with medium-sized cities, the living expenses in first-tier cities is much higher, the pace of life is much faster and the the living surroundings are worse. While in a medium-sized city, the living expenses is suitable, then I can save money. The living surroundings are more comfortable. The most important is that I will have more time with my family and more chances to display my potential. So, I prefer working in a medium-sized city.Unit3.1What are the usual / popular ways of getting refreshed?You can exercise all the time and sweat it out. Or have a good sleep. Listen to some relaxing music and talk to your family.Unit3.2Find out all the reasons why people spend so much time with their computer both atwork and at home.I think there are 3 reasons for the question. First, internet improves our life quality and work efficient. At work, we use computer to deal with files. For example, when we facea large amount of numbers, before the invention of computer, people must use pens, which spend a lot of time, but now we can do it by computer, maybe it just spend a few minutes. At home, we can buy everything through computer.Second, computer enhances the communication of people. At work, especially some international companies, people can talk with foreigners and make business bycomputer. At home, as we all know, parents are often on business trips, they can talk with their children face to face through computers; we can also acquire some latest news in the internet. Third, we use the Internet for entertainment and study, when we are tired, we open the computer, and find out some exciting programs, and then we will be happy. For the study, we can learn English, write thesis and look up data, and so on.That’s all.Unit 3,4what benefits can you derive from doing exercises regularly?Physical exercise can make people healthy. It can help people to postpone aging. exercise is beneficial to the growth of human bones and muscles. Psychologically: exercise has the function of regulating the tension of the human body, and can improve the physiological and psychological state and restore the strength and energy. exercise can improve the health of the body, make the tired body get a positive rest, so that people energetically put into study and work;stretch the body and mind, help to sleep and eliminate the pressure of reading5. What’s your favorite sport? And Why? / “What’s your hobby?As we all become health conscious, we realize the importance of strict and regular physical activity. Why so many people love exercise? Since it has many functions that are good and efficient for us. Firstly, it is good Swimming is a healthy low-lost activity that you can continue throughout you life. Swimming is a low-impact activity that has many physical and mental health benefits. I like swimming best, because swimming can help maintain a healthy weight, healthy hearts and lungs. Plus, its also an ability of surviving.4.11. How does modern technology bring an unprecedented change to people’s lives? The third technical revolution obviously brings an unprecedented change to peoples life. Digital has given rise to a variety of new technology. Factories are more effective with less workers. More and more smart machines are appearing, such as smart robot which can do some dangerous work and housework. The internet brings us a lot of conveniences. We can communicate with other easily no matter how far away from each other. Secondly we can get much information to tell us how interesting the world is. Even we don‟t go out home we can buy what we need on net. And so on. Our life will be better and better with advanced technology, such as clear energy and a better environment.Unite4.2. What can you do with your cell phone in your daily life?Mobile phones are becoming more and more widely used in daily life, not just on the phone. Mobile phones can also be used to watch news, watch programs, play games, pay, shopping online, etc.3. Talk about the merits and demerits of online shopping.1. The development of the Internet market is becoming more and more mature, with rich network resources and various kinds of commodities. The search function is powerful, i.e. the dot is available.2. There are various payment methods in the onlinemarket, which are not limited to bank card payment, cash payment, alipay, etc., and the security level is improved. 3. There is a massive online shopping website with promises of quality assurance, so long as Internet users choose a legitimate and legitimate website to network shopping, it must have benefited a lot. Disadvantages:You can't see the object.Although the goods are not satisfactory, we can refuse to accept them, but there is also a delay in the intangibles.Home delivery is subject to local restrictions and will be charged accordinglyUnit4.5. Can students play videogames? What are the disadvantages of playing video games?Videogames, as a popular way of entertainment, has largely changed our ways to spend our leisure time. But everything has two sides, we should coordinate it well so it can play a good important role in our development.Playing games may provoke our most powerful positive emotions. So as a student, when you are tired with study, you can have a rest by playing it, but not spend much more time on it. Because taking much time on it will play an opposite effect .As your tutor, I also want to tell you, if you are a person who is lacking of master yourself, you'd better not touch it.Unit5,2Why are both doctors and patients expressing their frustration? How can we improve doctor-patient relationship?Doctors always express their frustration because of thestrained relations between patients. Doctors complain that their salary are low and they are overworked in most time. However, patients insist that it is difficult to get a well treatment in hospital. The medicines is so expensive that they cannot afford them. In addition, doctors often take patients as experiment subjects, they prescribe excessivemedicines to patients in order to make money. Takinga look around, one can find numerous examples with ease, such as one doctor killed by his patient in Wenling Zhejiang province not long ago. The problem mentioned above is bound to generate dsevere consequences if we keep turning a blind eye. To my way of thinking, some measures must be taken to solve this problem. For one thing, It is essential that laws and regulations should be worked out and enforced to put an end to this trend, such as government makes some laws to forbid doctor to collect money from patients. For another, patients should aslogive more respect to doctors and coordinate with doctors during surgery. Only in this way, can we make the society more harmoniously.Unit5,3What are the positiv e and negative effects of china’s single child policy?In my view, there are many positive effects o f china’s single child policy. Fist it can reduce the pressure of employment. Because china has much people we cannot find a good job. Second it can do good for the environment. Much water is wasted and the air is polluted as people do not cherish. If people is less and less we will own enough water and air. Everything has two sides. Some negative effects are existed. The military powerwill be weaken. The single children will not understand the importance of sharing. Theywill have few friends and feel lonely. They will have much pressure to support their parents when they grow up.Unit5,4We have entered an age of ageing population. How and who to take good care of the elderly people?Nowadays, we have entered an age of ageing population, and how and who to take good care of the elderly people, which is a hot point that we are talking about resently. Considering the severity of issue, we have no choice but to take effective measure to deal with this problem. In my opinion, not onlythe son or daughterbut also the society have responsibility to take care of the elderly people. On the one hand, undoubtedly, according to some sociologist opinion, the elderly people are more eager to children's love. We are glad to see that the son and daughter should often go back home and make telephone calls to their parents. And they also should give money to their parents. Because they are too old to work, they can‟t make enough money to live. Moreover, when they are sick, they should take care and stay with them. On the other hand , there is no doubt that the government should improve the social welfare system ,raise the retirement age and set up many old people‟s home to guarantee the old people‟s life.So in a word, only in this way this bad situation can be solved.Unit 5 .5Nowadays, a buzzword “urban diseases” is frequently heard.What is meant by that? And what are the causes ang cures for those “illness”?I think “urban diseases” is about that more and more peo ple are flocking to the big cities, which has caused many problems like traffic jams ,environment pollutions and the declining feeling of happiness .such problems are even more serious in Beijing ,shanghai ,Shenzhen .most of the people like to live in the cities because the big city has more work opportunities, exciting life and a sense of urbanite ,besides ,the big city is good for children‟s education. This is what has caused the “ citydiseases ”.I think it is the time that w e should take some measures to handle with those problems. We should establish the proper value on big city .everywhere has its advantages and disadvantages. even the big city has its convenient ,it is also has its demerits. the living expenses is much higher,the pace of life is much faster ,its surroundings are worse and has more traffic congestion.I don’t like live into the big cite .I think the medium city like Qingdao ,Suzhou are very good, it can catch up with the big cities ,has many hot places for investment form both home and aboard ,lots of priority policies to attract talents ,and more chances to display one’s potential .besides, I can have more time to stay with my family .I enjoy the silent life and it can enhance my understanding of life .Unit6 ,1Should we limit the use of private cars in first tier cities to reduce caremissions?Beijing has been limited the private car by limiting its number in some appointed days However, as far as I see it, we should not put a limit on private cars in first-tier cities. First of all, the private car is a symbol of freedom and wealth. The private car has given us a freedom and convenience our ancestors could not dream of. We can travel to relatively remote places that it is hard to reachon foot or public transport rarely goes to. A car enables an individual or a family to travel at any time they wish. With a car there is no need to wait for the bus in the bitterly cold or under the scorching sun. Further more a c ar can serve as a symbol of one’s wealth, which makes him or her proud of his or her accomplishments and glorious past.Secondly, a car can make our work more efficient and life more convenient. Nowadaysmany Chinese can enjoy the comfort and luxury of owning a private car. Having a car of one’s own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains; no more waste of time for waiting at the bus stop or train station. With a car one does not have to worry about the possible danger their child suffers when they are elbowing theirway through the crowd, instead they can drop off the children at school on the way to work. In the case of illness, the car takes its owner or other sick person to hospital without any delay. Last but not least, lifting bans on private cars will stimulate the automobile industry, which provides jobs for a large team of workers. Known as a sunrise industry, Chinese automobile industry needs strong and continuous fueling from domestic demand. If more people buy cars, the industry will embrace continued growth, thus contributing more to the national economy. Moreover, its growth will trigger the boom of related industries like iron and steel production and energy. In conclusion, theadvantages of private cars convince us that we should not put a limit on the number of private cars. What we should do at the moment is to perfect the transport infrastructure to ensure private cars to go faster and more safely.Unit6,2How can we strike a balance between economic development and environmental protection in poor areas?In the past thirty years, our country seen great development and thorough changes in the aspects of economy, society and construction. However, some problems, like environmental pollutions, appeared in some regions ,especially in poor areas. Therefore, balancing matual connection between economic improvement and environmental protection should be put on agenda immediately.On one hand, economic progress in some remote zones deserved to be focused on by our wise government and intelligent citizens, who should try their best to help the poor to pursue a better life. On the other hand, it is indeed essential to make a considerate combination between economy and surroundings for a profound and sustainable development, instead of just chase economic productivity and GDP .Only by these two can we help the poor areas to get on the path of getting rich and happy .Unit6 ,3It’s urgent for us to reduced our carbon footprint. What can we do to live a low carbon life?Now more and more people has realized that a low carbon life is related with daily life. we have to take some measures to reduce our carbon footprint. For government, they should take some policy to control the number of privated car. We should plant more trees to make the carbon absorbed. To our common people, we should ride bike or by bus to go to work other than driving privated car. We also should try to avoid using disposable tableware. We should reduce to use free or charge a plastic bag when we are going shopping. We should develop the habit of turning off electrical power to avoid wasting electricity. Trying to reduce to use refrigerators, air conditioners, fans, we can keep cool by using Pushan . Only in this way can we live a low carbon life and can we have a healthy life.Unit6,4 What is white pollution? how to deal with it?The so-called "white pollution" is a kind of appellation that plastic garbage pollutes environment. It is made of all kinds of life plastic products .That has caused urban severe environmental pollution phenomenon. The most polluted of white garbage is thewaste plasticbags. If we continue using plastic lunch boxes, shopping bags and other unrecyclable plastic products what would happen that one day they might bury us in an ocean of white rubbish To prevent this nightmare from coming true, governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions. However, it is not enough only to ask the government to get rid of white pollution, We must ask everybody beautification green earth instead of white.Unit 6,5How do you understand the role of forests playing in our planet?As we all know, forests always play an important role. Many scientists even regard the forests as the lungs of our earth. In my opinion ,forests help to clean the air. The plants ,as all kinds of trees ,can absorb most of carbon dioxide and at the same time ,they release the oxygen. It is a good way to plant forests to reduce the greenhouse gas. On the other hand,lacking of the protection of forests, many cities, like Beijing is under the threatening of the sand storm. Without doubts , if we plant more trees in the northwest of China,the environment of Beijing will be much better.All in all, the forests are irreplaceable in our planet.Unit7,1Are Chinese different from people of other cultures in the way of greeting and eating? Because of the different culture, I think we have some of different from other people. Firstly, in China, when two people greet each other we shake hands instead of hugging and kissing. Secondly, Food is a special phenomenon, people having knowledgeofFood from one side of the study of different cultural backgrounds, customs and historical environment by study. Western food culture in this thesis is mainly concerned with the British one due to the fact that its cultural pattern and influence have become dominant in the west, which is generally recognized by the world. Thirdly, Chinese people would like to take the style of “sharing” when they have adinner together, whether at home with family members or outside with friends. But in western food culture Western food culture is characterized by the “separated‟ style because of the great influence of the individualistic orientation. For example, westerners do not take the ts’ai dishes from the public plate, but have separate individual plates.Unit7,2What are some taboos or superstitions you know in Chinese culture and other cultures?What is superstition?A belief, practice, or rite irrationally maintained by ignorance of the laws of nature or by faith in magic or chance. Some Chinese taboos and superstitions: A baby with wide and thick ears will live prosperously. The luckiest number is eight because its pronunciation is like "prosper". The unluckiest number is four as it sounds like the Chinese word to death. A boy,preferably born indragon year, may roll over the newlywed's matrimonial bed, which will bring good luck and a baby boy to the couple.When your upper teethfalls down, you should throw it down. And if your lower teeth falls down, you must throw it overhead, maybe on the roof. When your left eye shocks, it means that something good will happen. Conversely, if your right eye shocks, perhaps you will be unlucky. If so many bad things happen to you recently, you could invite a wizard or witch to help you. Get a table and put some candles on it. Then the "GOD" you invited waves his/her wood sword and say some magic words, afterwards the bad things will get away from you. Some western taboos and superstitions: Jesus Christ died on Friday, while the number 13 is unlucky. The combination of people believe that the unfortunate things will happen that day. Friday and the number 13 represents thebad luck the last two unfortunate individuals together to form super-sad day. Therefore,no matter what the occasion of the 13th month on Friday called "Black." In England, black cats are regarded as lucky.If a black cat crosses your path, you will have good luck all day. But in other western countries, black cats are connected with witches or the devil. A leaning ladder was thought to resemble the gallows and so by walking underneath a ladder, you are playing out your own execution.3. Talk about the western and traditional Chinese wedding ceremonies and tell the differences.Unit7,4A Chinese-American mother who was called as “tiger mom” says American parents lack authority and produce entitled children who aren't forced to live up to their abilities. A Chinese man who is a father of four control every aspect of his children's lives. Ifthey failed to meet his standards, the children would be beaten with a feather duster. That’s why he named as “wolf dad”.What’s more, I don’t believing in “Spare the rod, spoil the child”. Does it mean a true success in parenting when your kids enter a famous university or get straight A at school? And does success equal happiness?Obviously no. A parent who can show a proper way of love will raise the happiest child in the world. The stories of the tiger mom and wolf dad, we can still feel their strong love for their kids. Love cannot exist without encouragement. A parent who never praises her/his child directly denies the easiest way to show love and to teach his/her child to love others. Love does not exclude reasonable criticism and punishment.5. What are some traditional virtues Chinese nation treasures? Are such virtues as filial piety and thrift (节约) still important today。

PassageOne马文科林斯的方法在人群中，马文老师总是会显得很醒目：她有着高高的颧骨，瘦而强健，这都遗传自她那乔克托印第安人血统的曾祖母。

马文老师瘦削而不柔弱，就算她没有那么高，在人群中时还是一眼就能识别出来——因为她有着特别的镇静及教养，这些都使她有了一种严谨的风格。

马文很少穿宽松衣服，也决不穿宽大的直筒连衣裙或不正式的短衫及裙子。

马文认为宽大的衣服是对自己、对学生、对教师这一职业的不敬。

从开学的第一天起，马文老师总会告诉设法让孩子们懂得：自尊是一个人最可宝贵的东西。

马文的着装总是无可挑剔，这既是为了自己，也是为了学生们：她爱穿开司米羊毛衫、套装以及人字形花呢服装。

武汉理工大学研究生口语考试题目及答案

Please paraphrase the sentence with your own understanding.In most cases, if you have a friend who is well-informed, you may describe him or her as a person who reads a lot. Books teach us wide range of knowledge and skills which might be a useful tool for our future life. That is why “Reading maketh a full man”.When we gathered for a topic in a circle, many different opinions are shared. If you want some people agree with you, you must prepare some good reasons to support your opinion. What’s more, you should answer questions as quickly as possible. That is why conference makes us witty and quick.Why writing maketh an exact man? Taking notes is an extremely careful job. We use as few words as we can to explain something we don’t understand, or to help us remember something important. So taking notes help us improve our ability to describe something to the point.2What kind of book is your favourite? What about your reading habits and principles?My favorite book is science fiction. The science fiction is about some stories happened in the future. It is not just describe a fantasy story, but the development tendency of science and technology in the future. Some of these books tell us how our future life will be; some also raise an alarm that the development of some technologies may bring us to disaster. Reading a science fiction just like a travel in the future, we follow protagonist’s footstep. I love reading book in a quiet and comfortable environment. For some classic story books, I like keeping them clean and tidy. But for some books about my lesson, I like to take notes.3 Role play: work in groups of four and make up an interview regarding the appraisal of Education Ministry to the undergraduate teaching course. One is an undergraduate student, another is a teacher, still another is a President, and a journalist is carrying out an interview in our university on study, campus life, teaching quality enhancement and its effect on school construction.4 It is said that university should relieve undergrads of the pressure of writing a thesis so that they can focus on job-hunting. Should university gives up the thesis chase and make both graduation and job-hunting easier? State your stance and justify it.No, I disagree with that. I think writing a thesis doesn’t conflict with job-hunting. In fact, I believe they make it each other possible. Firstly, writing a thesis can help us improve our ability. Secondly, writing a good thesis gives us confidence. Thirdly, we can write a thesis contact with the job you want to find.5Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.I agree with that opinion 100%. Believe it or not, parents are the best teachers. It is a matter of fact, no matter whom you are or what position in the society you have, your basic beliefs and primary morals derive from your parents. When we were in younger days, especially childhood, we nearly had not any judgment on surroundings. What we did our parents thought right, we keep it. What our parents disliked or thought bad or wrong, then they asked us to kick it and of course we did, was treated as evil by ourselves naturally. Those attitudes towards circumstances, in childhood, mostly become the elements of composing our adult values. Therefore, the parents' elegant behavior and language is very important, as far as their children's primary education is concerned. So, don't blame how stupid your children are or how rude they , because it is you who pass on to them your own behavior , language, and gene.6.What type of books do people like in china? What kinds of books are to be tasted or swallowed and what to be chewed and digested? How do you think reading habits will change in the future?Some history books, novels and success books are people’s choice in china. I think some history books and novels should be tasted and swallowed because most content of these books are stories, we can read them without too much thinking. Some books about philosophy or science should be chewed and digested. The authors of these books wrote them with many years of accumulation and creation. So, it is good for us to read them deeply.7. College entrance examination in china is for the survival of the fittest. Do you agree or disagree with it? Give your suggestions to better the examination system.I agree with this opinion. A student gets good marks mean he's good at this part. But I don't think only the marks can judge a student's abilities. And also it's not equal to his abilities. What’s more, in china, college entrance examination is only once a year. There exists great contingence in the examination.From my opinion, firstly, we should add the number of the examinations every year. Secondly, we should consider the ordinary performance of every student. Thirdly, we should focus on other abilities, for example, social experience, the skill of communicating with other, and so on.8. Although “education” comes from a Latin word meaning “to draw out”, nowadays it seems to mean to “accept”, do you agree with it? What is “education”? Illustrate your points with examples.From my opinion, education means not only knowledge, but also love and guidance. Every child has his or her character. Children should have the chance to choose their own way, rather than follow my parents’arrangement and realize their dreams. My father is a football fan. When I was born, he decided to take football training into my bag. Unfortunately, I hate it. It’s rude and easily injured. When forced to attend the training classes, I thought it’s the end of the world. Finally, thesituation became like this: I failed to become a football player. Never ever!9. Some students complain that they often follow a strict and rigid curriculum in college that allow for very few electives. Some are satisfied with the present curriculum which can help students lay a solid foundation in theoretical knowledge. What do you think the curriculum organization in china, illustrating its advantages and disadvantages?Obviously, the disadvantages of the curriculum organization in china don’t consider the interest of student. If students can adapt their interests through selecting courses, they will have motivation to learn. Otherwise students have no interest in the course, and then they won’t learn the course well, they will hate the course more and more. There is a vicious circle in the curriculum organization.10. What makes a good university?From my opinion, firstly, a good university must have world-class professors because professors are the foundation of a good university. Secondly, Social education and cultural atmosphere of a university is also very important. Thirdly, Social work is a very important form of education and training. It is ”the second Classroom”of a good university.11.“So much of modern science defies common sense.”Use specific examples to prove it.There is a vivid example to prove it. If we put some water in a paper box, and then put the box on the fire. According to our common sense, the paper box will be burnt off. On the contrary, all was well until all the water is converted into steam. Because the boiling point of paper is higher than water, heat from the fire is picked up by water, so the paper box can’t be burned off.experience? Describe it. What do you think are future trends in retailing?Yes,I have an unforgettable shopping experience. And that’s my first experience shopping online.You know, nowdays, with the help of the internet,shopping is not a difficult job,and you just need to click your mouse to choose the article you like,then the shoppig is finishedI like this kind of shopping ,without step out the room,attracted me so much. it seems easier and quicker than traditional shopping.So I have a try to buy my shoes on internet ,but this’s really a unforgettable experience.when the shoes arrived, I find the color of the shoes is different from what I want, I have to communicate with the seller by wangwang ,but nobody response.At last ,I apply for a refund, and return the shoes to seller.So,you see .I was supposed to try a convenient shopping , but it bring me moretrouble, this’s really a unforgettable experience.①Non-store outperforms store-based retailing morebecause of a small base Non-store retailing relatively new and represented by direct selling homeshopping and internet retailing posted stronger value growth more because of a small consumer base. The increasing popularity of the internet and TV shopping has also contributed to the vigorous growth.②.Further market segmentation and differentiated competition.The retailing market is growing fiercer in term of competition and retailers are working on new concepts to lure customers such as market segmentation so as to produce points of differentiation.③.Expansion of private label④.Chained operation preferable A chained operation plays a key role in a retailer’s expansion. Through economies of scale retailers can reduce costs maximise resources ultimately and profitability2. What special sales techniques do supermarkets and department stores use in your city?①Free gifts, when the value of what you buy is overtake 100 Hundred they will give you a gift. Such as a doll or a notebook or 5 yuan,or something else.②VIP card,they give you a vip card that you can buy things with a discount .③Low price, when festivals is coming,the supermarkets and department srores will give a much low price than unual ,attarcted mang people to buy their stuff.④Wonderful performance. people enjoy performance like singing and dancing, of course a happy mode will encourage poople to do shopping.tennis, cricket, golf, horse racing, hunting, and fishing are popular sports in Britain. What are the most popular sports in China? What are the major differences among the American, the British and Chinese attitudes towards sports?Table Tennis Badminton Basketball Swimming and chinese kungfuAccording to my mind,I think there are there difference between them.First. American and British like sports which should participate with several people ,that is, they like cooperation games. Chinese can’t do such sports very well.Second.Just like the Olympic spirits, British regard sports as a means of building up,cooperating with others and to seek one’s limits. In fact, Britain is the birthplace of many modern games.Third.American regard sports games as a way to keep fit and enjoy life.However, in China, people use it as a method to gain frame and money. I dobelieve if Chinese do not change their attitude towards sports, there would be less and less teenagers to take part in this special field to simply enjoy life and to be healthy, and the result might be disastrous.2.What are the things in common about watching a horror movie and sports? Pleaseexplain the correlation between human nature and sports.They provide a safe way for people to experience high level of suspense without actually being in any real dangers. Sports can be the same way. Again, watching sports allows us too enter a perfect world where the suspenseful outcome has no bearing on our real lives. People love drama, suspense, mystery, and resolution, which are all elements inherent in sports. When watching a horrible movie, we don’t know what will happen in the next second. We experience high level of suspense. Virtually there is more pressure on us. Once the movie is over, we feel relaxed. Just like sports. Horrible pictures with sound will naturally reach the atmosphere of horror. Then our muscle contractions unconsciously, our heart beats strongly, our nerves are tight. We even uncontrollably scream. We feel hot and sweating. This feels is just like to experience the outdoor sports.World is far from perfect and people can find safe secure and fairness in sports. People always complain the unfairness of the daily life such as job problems study pressure family pressure and so on and always compare with others. It needs a way to let off these unsatisfied feelings and sport is a good way. People like drama suspension and resolution which are all elements inherent in sports. We are eager to feel different kinds of stimulations. And we can find these feeling in sports. For example we can find suspension before a race and find resolution during a boxing game. Basic flight or fight mentality is manifested in sports. We always call a game between two famous players. It states that sports are very familiar with war which is a reptilian basic active. We should respect the nature of human being play the natural value of sports to make the balanced development of human being on both mind and body. So proposing human nature idea in sports teaching process is the correction on disadvantages of traditional sports teaching and the perfection of modern sports teaching conception.3.What is your comment on the statement” young people should play sports for fun,as hobbies and social activities, not for fame or profit, or as obligation.” What is your understanding about the spirit of sports?as far as I am concerned the spirit of sports is a kind of positive spirit that leads people keep moving forward and never give up. It encourages people to keep challenging themselves and their opponents. As is known to all in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Game LiuXiang failed in the 110-hurdle race because of his injury. He can quit the race after he injured but he insisted on jumping to the end line.It is the sport spirit that makes him keep fighting .Although he lost in the race he is still the pride of us. Of course the spirit of sports is not confined to sport sit is reflected in every aspect of our lives. When we faced difficulties it encourages us to get over them and to moveforward. When we are beaten by others it keep makes up keep fighting. In a word I think the spirit of sports is a kind of positive spirit which keep up moving forward. 4.“All of life is a series of grays.” Use specific examples to justify it.5.Why do we like to watch sports?I like watching sports very much. Firstly a wonderful match will make me forget all the troubles. By watching sports I can see a lot of stars and their excellent performances and the most exciting thing for me is to see my idols win the game. What’s more I also can learn lots of useful experiences to improve my skills. Secondly watching sports allows us to enter a perfect world where the suspenseful outcome has no bearing on our real lives. We can relax ourselves completely. Finally wonderful sports games being ups and downs and full of energy let us nervous. So I have been looking forward to the next Olympic Games all the time.pressure of traffic jams?Nowadays almost every family has a car, it supposes more ecological problems. In fact, there are a lot of arguments for and against or having a car : ①Pollution is increasing and petrol is decreasing more every year in the world.②Although car’s companies try to create these vehicles with a big quality and without too much risks of accidents, they can not deny the possibility of having an accident③to drive a car supposed to spend a lot of time and to respect the rules, and if there is a lot of traffic you must wait. Compared with plane and the train, this transport is the least quick..On the other hand, there are several arguments for having a car:①if you have this vehicle you have also more freedom because you don’ t depend on public transport and its timetable.②you can travel and go wherever you want and the cost of this trip will not be so expensive as traveling by plane.③for a family of medium class the cost of having a car is better than the cost of paying a different transport for every trip.④if you have an emergency you can drive your car and to solve your problem.To sum up, the fact of having a car is very important in our society, it would be necessary that all the families wich have more than one car, they should think in the possibility of use pulic transport.On balance, nowadays there are more people that has started to use gasoil .The primary consideration is the construction of road.①The government should encourage people to choose where, when and for what to drive, reduce the quantities of the car, use different transports instead of cars, to promote the development of the public transportation is also an effective way.②the government should spend more money to improve traffic. And Government's duty is providing infrastructural facilities, including traffic.So, if we want to alleviate the pressure of traffic jams, the government and our own action will be the leading role.2. A surge in demand for energy has led China to take energy-saving measures suchas “No Cars Day”. We can all save energy in our daily life, reducing our demand on Eart h’s resources and on the cash in our wallets. Please list several measures that enable us to do both at the same time.①use environmentally friendly transportations such as buses,underground,bikes,or on their foot,instead of driving private cars which do great harm to the increasingly worsening global warming,air pollution,traffic accidents,etc.②use paper wisely,try to use both sides of paper whenever it is possible.don’t use things like paper cups and disposable chopsticks because they are made of wood.while shopping,no longer used plastic bags but carried environmentally friendly one.③rubbish is nor worth nothing,it’s also precious to some degree,if we classify them into categories and then recycle them,the resource will be greatly saved.④apart from that,using taps which are specially designed to save water can help a lot of areas like Africa where people suffer a lot from lack of water.3.Is drunk driving a problem in your country? What kind of laws does your countryhave about drunk driving? Do you think that drunk drivers should be severely punished? Why?Yes,According to the law introduced, anybody guilty of drunk driving would be severely fined, subjected to a 6-month detention, and deprived of his driving license.And I agree with the idea that drunk drivers should be severely punished.Drunken driving is bound to generate severe consequence if we keep turning a blind eye to it. Firs and foremost, this behavior will directly threaten the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians/goers, resulting in traffic accidents, injuries and even deaths. Besides, treating the injured and repairing broken cars mean a grievous waste of money, time and resources. Last but not least, this irresponsible driving will make the road a nightmare, and thus, it will causes serious losses of faith in governments and the society.4.As traffic jams become increasingly serious, private cars are being considered thechief wrong doer. This is strongly believed by many people because ten years ago, when private cars were not so prevailing, traffic was not a problem at all. Should private cars be blamed for jams?How do you think about the relation between traffic conjunction and the increase of private cars? What can be done to alleviate the pressure of traffic jams?In my opinion, I think private cars ought to assume part responsibility for jams, but not being to assume all responsibility. Ten years ago, there were not so many private cars and there is no traffic jams, that not means the less the private cars, the better the transportation. But it means in that time the transportation, the roads can afford so many cars. Nowadays, there are so many private cars, but the transportation, the roadsdon’t become so better ,so traffic james become serious. I think, the government should spend more money to improve traffic. That with the development of society, the private car popularizes is one kind of trend. Government's duty is providing infrastructural facilities, including traffic. During the period of unnecessary, we don’t use a private car, but other transportation, we can do some thing for our traffic. So, if we want to alleviate the pressure of traffic jams, the government and our own action will be the leading role.5.More and more rich people are purchasing super-cars to show off themselves. How do you think of this phenomenon? If you have enough spare money, what car will you choose and why? What do you think is the function of cars?①I think this phenomenon is because of human’s nature.rich people like do such things to show their power、society statues.②If I had enough money, I would like to buy a Porsche 911 GT2 which is a sports car with twin-turbo charged engine,Ok, I guess I have to admit that maybe I want the car as a trophy to show off a little bit and satisfy my vanity.③maybe the function of a car is just a tool that can take people to another place with a fast speed. Also sometimes people like car’s speed which can let them forget the pressure of life.<视听说>to 120 in Beijing?For this reform, students and teachers will have different concerns, such as some students aren't interested in English or their English is weak, maybe they would not want to learn English more in the future; Many English teachers will also worry about that whether this would lead to falling for the importance of English, such as less class hour. However, those concerns are reasonable, but you must see the positive significance in the reform. "Score lower provides a very good space for the reform of middle school English teaching, teachers have time to find a way to transfer the teaching content and the key to cultivate the children's language ability in application."2.how to understand “education is not the filling of pail,but the lighting of fire”in youopinionThe purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit, I think our education should not only teach the younger generation common sense of the world but also sharp their critical mind and creation ability, find their gifts and fulfill them to make contributions. student would have the courage to doubt the authority and speak out their own opinions.To cultivate Imagination and enthusiasm, the ability of creation; they must can grasp the afflatus and break the tradition. Nevertheless, the means of education may have its own problems. The school today overemphasis the things which are known to be true and the students pay too much attention on memory those things. And those things distort the real purpose of education. We must do our best to change these situations and give the younger generation a health environment for studying.1.Different from Amy Chua, “The Tiger Mother”, a Chinese father claims himself to be a “Cat”, a docile and gentle role in Chinese culture, who successfully sent his daughter to Harvard University in a liberal parenting style. Which parenting style do you prefer?A: Hi, guys! Do you know The Tiger Mother, Amy Chua?B: Of course.C, D: Sure.D: What’s up?A: I just found something pretty funny. A Chinese father claims himself to a “Cat”, and successfully sent his daughter to Harvard University in a liberal parenting style. Which parenting style do you prefer?B: I adore the liberal parenting style. It’s my life, not my parents’! So I should have the chance to choose my own way, rather than follow my parents’ arrangement and realize their dreams. My father is a football fan. When I was born, he decided to take football training into my bag. Unfortunately, I hate it. It’s rude and easily injured. When forced to attend the training classes, I thought it’s the end of the world. Finally, the situation became like this: My father spent loads of money, energy and time; however, I failed to become a football player. Never ever!C: I couldn’t accept that for one minute. Severe parenting style is my wish. Cause I’m not a inner-directed and self-conscious person. It is hard for me to make plans and set goals. I need my parents’arrangement and encouragement. They know better about me than myself. So I trust their decisions and I’m willing to follow their ideas. Believe or not, listen to parents’advise can reduce the risk of failure.D: That’s just how I see it. Our parents have more experience and insight our heart. They know what we are. My parents are my lighthouse and direction .When I was a high school student, once, my parents both travel a week. Without the supervision, I couldn’t help playing on-line games immoderately, which leads to Performance decline. That’s frustrating!A: I can’t believe that you are mammy boys.
