1.have you ever skipped a class?if yes ,why?I have had very few times to skip classes; however, some of the classes are both of little avail and as dull as ditch water and, moreover, few of the courses are not wantable of salt when some of the irresponsible teachers instruct their classes in them without any vitality, Therefor, I on several occasions skip them. Of course, I know well that it is awful wrong for us to break the classroom discipline, yet I am always out of patience with such kinds of classes although I try my best to control myself to stick to listening to the teacher.2. What problems have you encountered since youbecame a college student?After going to college, most of us will live in a different city. We lives far away from our parents and relatives, so sometimes feel homesick. And even our best friends, they might be in another city. Every day, we have to face those strange faces, and learn to adapt to this new environment. No one will tell us what we should do and what should not. We have more freedom to do everything we want to. But sometimes feel very confused about our future. We made mistakes every day, and then learn a lesson from it. All in all, it's hard in the beginning, but later we will make new friends and began to love this pace.3do you enjoy your campus life?why or why not?As a university student,everyone has his own role. it's an interesting and fantastic place for us to study and live in. Every day a series of outgoing people get into my eyesight. Curious and out of politeness, I'd talk to them heart to heart. Here I make friends with my new classmates from everywhere around China. When staying in dormitory, I choose to read news online and sometimes watch a film for relaxing. However, a good student can never leave his study behind. When it comes to study, hard problems never upset me, instead they arouse me. Rather than ignoring it, I'd think carefully for a while and ask my classmates for help4environment:1．酸雨污染The acid rain pollutes2.全球气候变暖Global warming3.臭氧层的耗损与破坏Ozone layer consuming with destroys4.生物多样性减少The biodiversity reduces5.森林锐减Forest sharp decline6.土地荒漠化Land desertification7.大气污染Air pollution8.水污染Water pollution9.海洋污染Marine pollution10.危险性废物越境转移The risky waste border crossing shiftsHow to save environment? I think we should do the followings: First, it’s best to ride a bike to school, don’t take a bus or a taxi. Second, I will remember to turn off the lights when I leave the classroom. Third, in my free time, I will collect the empty bottles and waste paper for recycling. The fourth idea is turning off the shower when I ‘m not using it. Fifth, it is imp orment to save water and money. Also, I won’t spend too much money on expensive things. Last, we had better not cut down the trees, we have to take care of the trees . I’ll try my best to save the energy,I hope I can do something for our country.The environmental protection is the most major problem which in the modern life the humanity faces. Must solve this problem must start from foundation. First, must massively propagandize, enhances people's consciousness with understanding, strengthens the environmental protection consciousness. Next, must carry on waste recovery use, reduces to forest-tree's felling. Also must strengthen to white pollution processing, little uses the plastic product. Finally, must make improvement to clean aspect. Causes the city's appearance to be neater. For Earth's tomorrow, we must start from the now diligently, will want the well local constable to protect the environment.

Shall I answer? So that everyone will think I am too love performance? This is most people's mental state, is the majority's style -- "low-key". We are accustomed to in the QQ group, at the forum, diving, and the network habit has shifted to the classroom. In addition, the fear of making mistakes, but we refused to answer. However, a myriad of thoughts ideas is produced in verbal battle, the truth is more clearer. The old university students and teachers argue also be visible before the eyes. In fact, for a problem, you have your viewpoint, I have my point of view, this is very normal, not right and wrong. Lin Yutang has such a sentence on the Chinese personality, thought excessive sound will be cut to the wings of fantasy. And we care, we strive for the "perfect", also reduces the chance we communicate with the teachers, and the emergence of new ideasDink family agreeDinks have m o re f ree d o m t o e n j o y t h e p riva t e l i f e o f t w o,a n d c a n g o a n y w h e r e a t a n y t i m e.O t h e r s t h i n k i t c a n c o n t r i b u t e e f f o r t s t o t h e p o p u l a t i o n c o n t r o l,e s p e c i a l l y i n a c o u n t r y w i t h l a r g e p o p u l a t i o n.D i s a g r e eD I N K i d e a i s b a d f o r t h e s t a b i l i t y o f a m a r r i a g e,t h e y b e l i e v e s t h a t t h e p a s s i o n b e t w e e n m e n a n d w o m e n c a n n o t l a s t l o n g,b u t t h a t a c h i l d c a n b i n d a c o u p l e t o g e t h e r.Others think it is rather selfish if they do not bear children and pay out the same love as their parents gave themSome people consider it in a interesting way.They think dink may harm our gene resource and the average intelligence ,because the dink families are often the rich ones, And most of them are high educated .④It’s anti-natural. As human beings, one kind of the cleverest animal on the earth, our ultimate goal is to reproductive which could give their children a good culture environment to grow up.Nuclear family: This is known as a family which contains two parents and one child.Advantage:1.The nuclear family creates a stable environment so children raised in this family with the same parents during their growing years have a higher likelihood of having stability in their relationship and emotional bonding.2. Also this family provides a sense of consistency because when children grow up in a nuclear family, they get a sense consistency, especially when it also includes closeness with other members of the family such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins.3.It also provides them with learning skills as children usually get far more extensive training in life skills living in a nuclear family. For instance, mothers usually teach their children relationship skills, like emotional response skills and how to have smooth relations with others, while fathers, in general, teach their children handiwork skills and sports skills, like fixing things around the house or hitting a baseball, as well as how to deal with the world outside.Disadvantage:A nuclear family is a family on to itself. A small compact unit that does not offer much support to the parents. Without the involvement of the grandparents and other family members outside of the "Mom, Dad, Kids" element many families fall on to hard times. Stress, money etc. Humans by nature are a social creature. To reach our fullest potential we must keep the family intactSingle-parent family:Single parents often worry that their children will somehow be damaged from living in a single parent family. While a single parent family may not be the ideal situation for raising children, many two-parent families are also less than desirable. Kids can actually benefit from living in a single parent family.Advantages:1.Results of studies have indicated that a home filled with conflict is the least desirable home environment for children. When the child's prior two-parent household included frequent fighting and discord between the adults, the child can benefit from living in a one-parent home provided that the conflict is stopped. A parent who is no longer devoting time to warring with a partner may have more energy to give to the kids. Children observe adult relationships and usually apply what they have learned to their own relationships as adults. By residing with only one parent, the child may actually have a chance to observe healthier adult relationships.2.Children learn valuable lessons from dealing with hard times and having different lifestyle from many of their peers your family may not represent the stereotypical American family, but there can still be lots of love and fun in your home.3.A single parent may actually have more time for the kids than a married parent would have. Since there is no longer a spouse around at mealtime, meals don't have to be as substantial and can be structured around kid-friendly ingredients. If your former partner was not very involved with housework, you may have more time since you now have one less person to care for. Financial worries may actually be fewer. Yes, you have less income, but you also have total control over the expenditures that you may not havehad while with your partner.4.The opportunity to spend time in two separate homes can be a good experience for your children. They will see different approaches to life and hopefully, take the best of both homes to use in establishing their own households as adults.5.Often, a child with parents who live apart will gain a stepparent or two. Your child's extended family will then be even larger, giving her more chances to develop meaningful relationships with caring adults. Your kids may even get exposure to new ideas or experiences that could ultimately lead to a career or hobby for your child.6.Kids who live with only one parent tend to develop independence faster than their peers. Since the parent will probably have a job and other many other duties on their plate, the kids may have to learn to do things for themselves such as preparing a simple meal or participating in household chores. Kids with stay-at-home parents or two parents in the home may not have as many opportunities to take part in the day-to-day responsibilities of running a household. The kids also learn that they need to be ready to take care of themselves, since them, too, could end up on their own or in a single parenting situation someday.Disadvantages:1.The last and least favorable option for raising a child, whether it is by choice or by necessity, is single parenthood. When children are involved, the paradigm of marriage stands alone. It should be obvious to all that when the effort of raising a child is divided up among two parents, it eases the burden.2.Single parenthood is always second best. Acting as the provider, as the head of the household and at the same time as father/mother/ to his/her child, is taking on a Herculean task. It pushes the father/mother to his/ her limits.Extended family:Extended families are families where three or more generations are living in the same house. Usually, that means that the grandparents are living with their children and grandchildren. Research has shown that there are several advantages to living in extended families.1.Extended families are very important in countries where there is no social security net. Extended families help prevent elderly people from becoming poor.2.Another advantage is that the grandparents can look after the children. During the day, the grandparents watch the children to make sure that they are ok. And they also talk to the children when the parents are busy. This helps the children learn their language. And since the children are well taken care of, both of the parents are free to work on the farm or earn money in jobs.3.The big support structure has a strong influence in many facets of life (economic, social, emotional, psychological...). An individual member's crisis is softened by caring close members of the extended family.Disadvantages1.Sometimes you have no privacy because there are so many members... They can also cause conflict nd problems, meddling in other family members' problems...2.While it is advantageous when you have a problem to have other members around to help, sharing other family members' problems can also become burdensome on othermembers... so that you not only have your own problems to worry about, but those of your extended family.My favorite festival is the Spring Festival. Why? Because the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, and I have lots of fun at the Spring Festival. I can have delicious food and wear new clothes .I can also get some money and gifts from my parents.I’m always happy at the Spring Festival.On the eve of the Spring Festival, The first thing we often do is to paste on doors a spring couplet which is written on red paper to give a happy and prosperous atmosphere. Then, the whole family sit together to make dumplings. After eating dumplings, my father and I go outdoors to set off firecrackers .We often stay up late to see New Year in.On the first day of the Spring Festival, we put on our best clothes and call on our relatives and friends, wishing them all the luck in the coming year.The Spring Festival is coming. I hope my parents will give me some books as gifts, because I want to learn more knowledge.I like the Christmas dayam because of in Christmas day period, many store entrances all have the Christmas day atmosphere, has the Christmas hat, the Christmas tree, but also has the Christmas card to buy. Schoolmates also may give the gift mutually to own good friend.The rich Christmas supper the people also hold which in some familiesI enjoy christmas because I get to spend time with my family and its a time where everyone is ina good mood so on christmas eve dinneri love it the best part is seeing my kids when you put up the tree and the lights outside their faces glow and when you drive down the road at night and they see someones house lit up and they get excited it is wonderful and seeing them open the stuff snata brought to me x mas is all about the kids it is a wonderful thing to see hope you like thatWhat do you think people will choose：a low-paid job one likes,or a boring well-paid jobIt really depends. Most people, I would say, will choose a good payment, since work is widely considered only to be a way to make a living. To them, what really matters, is the life one has outside work life. With a higher payment, one will have a much not-boring personal life that he or she is dying to get back to afterwork.However, those people who are doing what they love, are proved more determined and most likely to achieve success. Imagine Lu Xun had continued being a doctor instead of writer, he might have a easier life but it would be such a big loss in Chinese modern literature.Nevertheless, no matter you choose a low-paid job you like, or a well-paid job you are not that excited about, remember to love what you do, and do what you love. Because only in this way,you will enjoy your life.。

When a company is listed on the stock market, it can raise funds, which can be used to promote its development. When many promising companies offer their shares to the public, a huge amount of money can be collected, which will boost the growth of the national economy.However, in a bear market most stocks depreciate , andmany investors lose money. Worse still, some companies make false financial reports to cheat the public,which make the public lose more money .An unhealthy stock market is harmful to the country.888888888Do you think most people today will put their money in banks, the stock market or real estate? Why?It seems to me that most Chinese are traditional, and they like to put thei r money in the bank . It is true that bank interest rates are low. However, deposits in banks are safe. You can be almost in the 1990s, many Chinese seldom enter the stock because the stock depreciate easilyThe real estate【房地产】 market was hot, or rather overheated.NOw, the government publishs regulations to discourage The real estate .So perhaps some funds will pull out of the real estate market and move to the bank s . Generally speaking, I think most Chinese prefer to save their money in bank s for guaranteed returns.。
大学视听说口语考试题型
大学视听说口语考试题型1. Name onegreat person you admire most. Why do you admire him or her?I admire Coanfucius most. As a Chinese, I think weshouldadmire Confucius let alone the people who come from western countries.In summary, I admire him more for two reasons.First, I benefit from hisanalects which have a profound effect on the education cause nowadays. As thedays went on, his sayings including his valuable and meaningful theories aretimeless. Second, I think not only Confucius has lots of knowledge but also hecan apply it to run the country.From this point of view, he is also a greatsocial activist.2. Whatinfluence have the great people had on yourwork, study and life?In my point, the society would advance slowlywithout the great people, for example, the bulb would still be a dream withoutEdison (爱迪生) , chairman Mao had not a critical and vitaleffect on the building of the republic of china, maybe we would not leadthe pleasant and Cosy life .etc.So I think the great people make my workmeaningful and successful and provide a more comfortable and convenientcondtion for our study and life. In a word, the great people have the profoundinfluence on my work study and life.3. Whatare good manners in your opinion? Exactly speaking, there is not the same piece ofleaf in the word, similarly, in our real life, washing my hands and face beforea meal and still do the same after a meal. Don’t talk in a meal, looking out ofthe windows after taking a long time to read books, magnizes and so on. Don’tmake a noise in the library and so on.4. What shouldwe do to cultivate good manners in our life?Rome wasn’t build in a day, and good manners can’tbe formed in several days. So we should cultive good manners with greatpatience and persistence. I think we should be gin with these common trifles. Inour daily life, don’t look down upon them, great success often result from thegradual increasement of things with little importance.If you always want to cultivategood manners through extraordinary and keep your hands idle, you will losethe chance of cultive good manners.5. How do youthink high technology, such as the invention of cell phones, computers and theInternet, influence our manners?It’s beneficial that the invention of cellphones,computers and the internet make our life more colorful and wonderful. At thesame time, there is no doubt that they have been changing our manners. Some oldmanners are dying out and some new manners which were refused and evencriticized ago are accepted gradually by more and more people. inevitably, theyhave a negative influence more or less on our manners.6. A few westernholidays like Thanksgiving Day and Mother’s Day are becoming more and morepopular in China. What would you comment on this?I’m very worried about it. It’s a com mon phenomenonthat a few western holidays are becoming more and more popular in our china. Ithink this is a kind of cultural invasion.I think every Chinese should have astrong dangerous sense of our nation.As a fewwestern holidays like Thanksgiving Day an d Mother’s Day are becoming more andmore popular in China and our festivals become very loney in anarrow corner, even some traditional holidays have been disappearing in ournation . So we should also have a strong sense of responsibility to protestforeign holidays and make our holidays active like before.7. Is thinkingfreely equal to thinking creatively? Why or why not?Not equal. Every one may think freely and it’s notnecessary to think creatively. Because a creative thinking is full of wit,after that, you will put forward a new idea or a new theory even you may inventa new tool ect, but a free thinking can be done by a boy with several yearsold, so even if you don’t have a great deal knowledge or rich experience, youmay still think freely after that, maybe your brain can be become efficient buta new idea may not take place. So I think thinking creatively is not equal tothinking freely.8: what’s your view about creativity?I think creativity isplaying a more and more important role in the advancement of a nation, theimprovement of human beings’ life and even a harmony of the world, creativityis a kind of important quality of a person. So we should foster creativethinking in our daily life, without creativity, the education will be dull andboring, It will directly result in the pace of high technology and theadvancement of our country. In a word, only education actively foster ourcreativity spirit can our country will become more and more powerful. Socreativity is very important. We should do our best to foster creative thinkingin our daily life.9: What can we do to foster creative thinking inour daily life?As weare university students and the society need people to invent many new thingsto satisfy the world and the people themselves. So we should try our best tofoster creative thinking. As we all known that in our life, many things make usto accept the world in an normal way, so many times we think one thing in thesame way, in this situation, we can’t have new ideas about it, in order toovercom e this,we should see one thing in an all-round way, different directiongives us different thinking, all kinds of thinking can make us have good idea.If we do every thing in this way in our daily life, our creative thinking willbe fostered frequently.10: How do you view the test-oriented educationsystem in China?As acoin have two sides. The test-oriented also has its advantages anddisadvantages. In my view, we can get a great deal of knowledge through thetest-oriented system. From this point of view, it’s beneficial for us to passall kinds of exams just because we have mastered and memorized this firmknowledge. But the test-oriented education system only cultivates the abilityto finish all kinds of exercises, yet it ignored other important qualities suchas creativity and performance. So we should get over these shortcomings throughpopular quality-oriented education system.11: Say something about one of your unforgettableand favorite teachers who have influenced you in your life?From the primary school to university, lotsof teachers have influenced me in my life. But teacher Sun in a key high schoolis most unforgettable. I think not only teacher Sun has a great intelligenceand many active teaching ways, but also what I benefit more from him is thesespirits in life. His charming personality makes me moved very much. I learnwhat the strong-willed man is, what the strong-character is and how we shouldtreat our classmates, friends and parents. I think these qualities will keepcompany with me in my life forever.12. What kind of relationship is best for studentsand teachers?In my eyes, students and teachersshould keep two kinds of relationship at best. At class, teachers should takecharge of the class and take responsibility for every student. What’s m ore, teachersshould be strict in lessons and make sure every student keep the rules. So fromthis point, the teachers are the runner at class. After class, theyshould become friends between teachers and students. Students can talk freelyand ask some questi ons even if they aren’t concerned with the lesson.In themeantime, the teachers should answer them in a friend’s way.13: Do you always volunteer to answer questions inclass? If not, why?I don’t always volunteer to answer questionsin class.I think I’m a student of a few words. And it’s not necessary toanswer questions in class. Maybe most of students can answer them, so I alwaysthink since all of us are able to answer them. Why I do that first. More over,even if I have answered questions, some students may have a lower opinion ofme, they just say“Can’t you keep silent, why you show off ahead of us ”.SoI don’t always volunteer to answer questions in class.14: how canyou improve your oral expression ability?Thereis an old saying that “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. So in order to improve myoral expression ability I practice everyday. Every morning, I get up veryearly, and then I read many English materials, at the same time, I listen andrepeat for many times. In this way, I made many mistakes, but I know thatmistakes arenecessary in the way to successes. Because it can tell me whichaspect I should put more effort to improve. We know that we can build up thehabits in English just as we build up the habits in our own language. Chair Maohas said that its necessary to drill as much as possible and the more you applyit in real situations, the more natural it will become. To sum up, nobody canhelp you in leaning English, it’s up to ourselves, we must learn for ourselvesand we can successes in the end.27. How do you understand cultural invasion?I think cultural invasion is that foreign strongerculture change people’s habits and trditional thoughts and influence our mind.We will find that our trditional culture is facing a problem of succeeding allthe future developing. Some people would say that such a spread of foreignculture would be beneficial, because it would , in a sense ,creat a globlevillage. I think this cultural invasion creats more harm than good. It wouldresult in the demise of local cultures and languages. And this is certainly nota good thing, so we should never lose ourchinese style. We were not beaten inwars, what’s more, we should never beaten in sprit and culture.28. What are the problems that one-child policy maybring to our society? Does your family have such problems? Our chinese strict family-planning policy oflimiting parents to one child has made the population grouth rate lower, butthe policy is also leading to serious social and economical problems. Firstly,it causes another problem of aging population, the aged-population is a seriousproblem nowadays. Secondly, owing to one-child policy, every family considertheir child to be a emoeror, they don’t let him/her do any difficult thing. SoI think this directly leads to the lower quality of this generation.29. Do you think it is necessary to conduct theOlympic torch relay around the world? Why or why not?I think it’s fully necessary to conduct the Olympictorch relay around the world, some people didn’t understand why they use suchlong time, spend so many financial resourse even experience the accidentaldestruction and undertake the quite tremendous pressure to only conduct theOlympictorch relay. I think we should regard as each Olympic Games torch relaytrasmission to be Olympic sprit popularization. We should consider it to be aplat form for humanity to exchange the fusion and melt contradictoy. So in theOlympic Games torch relay trasmission at this cerenomy, we cannot use thesimple thought completely to draw the conclusion, and we also cannot use theplain moue to carry on the operation.30. Have you ever accomplished something that madeyou proud? Describe the experience and explain how it changed youI have ever accomplished something that made meproud. Two years ago, I did not like reading very much, I had plenty of time,but I spent lots of them on playing computer games.I did not think readingbooks was interesting, because I found nothing more interesting than computergames.

Soft music can clam people. some music can cheer people up such as believe future. So music really affect people’s lives.2.I prefer to watch movies at the theater rather than at home. In the cinema, we will have a large screen to watch movies. Many people sit in the same room to watch the same movie. The atmosphere makes me exciting.

So I prefer to watch movies at the theatre rather than at home.3.Though there are many such kind of cases, I myself cannot accept that because I believe in such kind of marriage, there usually is more of something else than the love, such as money, fame, etc. Everyone has the right and the freedom to follow their love.

口试试题1. How do you define success? List two important elements which maycontribute to a successful career and briefly explain why.I think success is about achieving the little goals you set for yourself and give you a sense of accomplishment. It can be simple things such as passing an exam or bigger things like graduating from college.Target and Self-control. With the goal, the inner strength will find the right direction when you get lost in yourself and guide you to reach the destination. Self-control is one of the most difficult virtues and it plays an important role in grasping the chance of success. The biggest enemy of success is yourself. Lack of control over your emotions will waste a lot of fleeting opportunities.2. What is special about workaholics? In your opinion, we work to live or liveto work?They are not only constantly leaving late and coming in early and working all the time, but also talking nothing else beyond work and pay no attention to their family and friends.In my opinion, we should regard work as a way of making a living rather than all of live. As we all know, there are also many exciting things outside of work. For example, we can do some exercise like playing basketball or tennis with friends, we can go out to buy some beautiful clothes or delicious food, we can also go to a movie to relax ourselves or even have a very good sleep. Life without working can be insignificance, but life full of work is terrible, too. I hope we can keep the balance of life and work and enjoy both work and life.3. What factors may lead to people's overwork? How do you balance yourwork and life?Desire to live a better life and Low efficiency may lead to people’s overwork. First, I will put some important things on the top of my list so that I can figure out what to deal with first and foremost and I can finish my work better; Second, I will set aside one night each week for recreation or do some exercise to release the pressure of work; Last, I would use the vacation days to go to travel with family or friends to adjust myself.4. Opinions on the influence of media on people’s studies and life.Media has changed people's way of life and entertainment, by television and computers people can know what's happening in the world without going out. They can use computers directly to search for all kinds of knowledge without going to school or looking for teachers. They can shop without going out. The extensive use of telephones makes it convenient for people to contact and improves the efficiency of information exchange. Meanwhile,it also brings us some negative influence. For example, many young children are so addicted to online games that they can’t keep their mind on study, and some people begin to get short sighted because of sitting in front of the computer too long.5. Taobao’s success is a testament to the economic power of theInternet. Why do you think people like to visit such Internet commerce companies like and ?Jingdong and Taobao have a complete shopping support system, consumers can get more protection in the process of shopping.People can shop, see the goods and negotiate the transaction at any time through the Internet. If you are satisfied, you can order at any time without restriction of time, place and other conditions. There are also many different kinds of products available online.And the price is cheaper than thephysical store,which can reduce the cost to some extent.6. Sometimes our life is lacking joy and happiness. What can we do? Couldyou share with us your personal experience?We should arrange our own time reasonably and make plans accordingly. There so much work take up most of our time that we can’t enjoy life well. What we should do is making good use of spare time to do something we really like. Only in this way, can we make life rich, colorful and rewarding.Taking my own experience as an example, I used to feel tired after several hours of study,I would put down my hands and went to the playground to run or play basketball with my friends. After exercise, it not only improves learning efficiency, but also enriches life.7. Can you give some suggestions on solving the conflicts in interpersonalcommunication?Most conflicts are caused because lack of communication in our life.Conflicts can be resolved from the following aspects:First, understand each other in communication. Keeping mutual respect is the basic precondition to deal with the conflicts in interpersonal communication. It gives a greater opportunity for us to explain some misunderstands in a harmonious atmosphere. I think it’s very important. Second, learn to listen to others. Maybe you can find the wrong place between you and him/her. Good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.Third, to build a good relationship, we should trust each other. Only in this way, can we enjoy an equal relationship.8. In your opinion, what is the greatest invention in human history? State yourreasons. Describe a useless invention, and explain why it is uselessFrom my perspective, computer is the most important invention in the world. Computer makes human beings’ life become easier. People can do many things that they can’t do before. They can read newspaper without buying it, only sitting in front of their computer, clicking mouse to open website. Shopping online, watching movies, listening to music and playing computer games are the common things that people often do by computer. But without computer, they can’t do all these easily. In addition, computer is also very helpful for study and work. People can have classes and work on it.I think that the alarm clock is a useless invention, you know, we always continue sleeping, even though the alarm clock is ringing .The alarm clock is a purely ornament.9. What do you think are the most important qualities for creative inventions?Please use examples to illustrate your statement.One of the most important qualities for creative inventions is the courage and determination that is not to be recalled for a purpose. For example, Edison failed over a thousand times before successfully invented the electric bulb, James Watt went through countless difficulties including money and opposition from others when he invented the steam engine, but he tried every means to overcome them. So far, it is still benefiting mankind.10. What is the most valuable life advice that you get from your parents? Whatis your principle of life?Become an honest and sincere person is the most valuable life advice that I got from my father in my childhood. He often seriously tells me that don't be a hypocrite but be consistent in words and deeds and treat person sincerely. I have always remembered in my heart. Be patient in everything you do, not arrogant or rash,cherish every opportunity that is helpful to your development.11. It is said that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". Why do we needsome leisure time in life? And do you think it a good thing to have too much leisure time to yourself?Because in modern society, more and more people are suffering intention、anxiety and pressure that caused by some work or other annoyed things. So the leisure time is often indispensable in our daily life. We can use the leisure time to do something that we like and relax ourselves from nervous work. I think it is not so good to have too much leisure time in my life. Otherwise it will be a serious waste if I couldn’t make full use of the leisure time. You know time is the most treasure for us.12. Please list three factors which may influence your choice of an ideal joband explain why the three factors top your list.Salary, company's interpersonal environment and development prospects will be the first concerned factors for me. You know, Salary is important and I don’t want to say more about this. As for the company's interpersonal environment and development prospects, I want to say, I can’t get along with other colleagues so harmoniously without a good company's interpersonal environment. I think the harmonious atmosphere is indispensable to build a very strong and cohesive company. The development prospects are also important, I hope that my company will be the diamond in the rough and can be better and better.13. What is an ideal job in your mind? In what sense d oes a person’s job helpimprove his/her sense of well-being?They devote themselves to their work and realize the value of life, promote the development of society and make more people live happily through their hard work. They make great contribution to society and at the same time they also find pleasure from their work.14. What can contribute to a harmonious society? Do you think we alwaysneed to look at others in our life and view them as examples?A harmonious society, in my view, should be one where its people show deep love for the nation. Besides, the citizens enjoy a high standard of civilization, respecting and caring for each other. Most importantly, people in such society ought to live in harmony with nature, which makes sustainable development possible. I don’t think that we always need to look at others in our life and view them as examples. That is their life, not yours. What we should do, I want to say, is just doing ourselves bravely and trying our best to do it better in a right way. Maybe you will feel relaxed if you no longer suffering the peer pressure.15. What is your opinion on artificial intelligence? If robots with humanemotions were invented one day, do you think it a bless or a curse for mankind? Why?Every coin has two sides, as far as I'm concerned, it will bring more good influence rather than bad. There is no doubt that we can see the benefits it brings to our life everywhere. As for the second question, I think that maybe it’s not a bless and not a so bad news yet. You know, human emotions are so sophisticated that we often can’t control them so better, and don’t know how to deal with the bad emotions sometimes. Human beings are still like this, how about the robots with human emotions were invented one day. Maybe they will become uncontrolled, that is hard to say. However, it is the result of the technological society, we should develop the artificial intelligence in a right way and that is what I want to say.。

英语视听说口语考试题
1 Describe the higher education you have received. What's your attitude towards it.With the development of our country, the higher education system is also facing a new stage of development.Compared with the past, people have a greater chance to accept higher education. Since the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy, the gross enrollment ratio of higher education has reached to 20%. And the professional system keeps perfecting.It has got some achievements in structural reform, but there are some serious problems in higher education system. I think China's education system has the problem which only focus on students' grades but not teach them how to behave in a right way, and also ignores the creativity of the students. Many college students in US have invented a lot of practical things, while in our country few college students have invented anything. Except this, the higher education also neglects the cultivation of the students’ practical ability. The college students only know the principles but don’t know how to use. If only the higher education in china gives the students more time in practice, it will be an exciting event for many students.2 What is your favorite color? What is the relationship between colors and people's personality?The color you like can tell your personality. For example, if you like red, you may be a strong and lively person. You are always full of energy, have a lot emotions.People who like red enjoy life, and like to achieve results. You probably like sports and good food. In fact, you are active and energetic and would make a good leader. Be careful not to overdo things and make sure you relax by listening to music reading, etc. This will give your life a balance between activity and relaxation.Yellow黄色You are a open, cheerful and friendly person and you enjoy change. You are energetic, but in fits and starts; a few days of hard work followed by a less energetic period, and then more hard work again. Your energies are often directed towards the future; you want to modernize and improve the present.Dark blue深蓝If you choose this color it means that you need peace and quiet at the moment. Maybe you’ve b een working hard and need to relax. You like calm, problem-free relationship with others and an orderly environment. You like calm, problem-free relationship with others and an orderly environment.Blue green蓝绿You have a strong will. When you de cide to do something, you don’t change your mind easily. You don’t like to fail in what you do. Because of your determination to do a job well, you must be careful of tension which can cause stomach upsets. So make sure you get enough physical exercise to give yourself time to relax.BrownBrown is the color of the earth and nature. People who favor brown have often had a few problems recently which have made them feel some discomfort. Has this happened to you? If so, you may feel you need a quiet and comfortableenvironment, surrounded by nature.Violet紫色You are charming and very sensitive. People may find you fascinating and a little mysterious. You enjoy literature and music and have a tendency to live in a “dream world”---and then feel disappointed when you see reality.3 Describe an important festival in China. What do people usually do at that time. (what) The Spring Festival, is one of the major traditional festivals in China. (when) It falls on the first day of the first lunar month.(what to do) Ways to celebrate the Chinese new year vary from place to place, but generally speaking, setting fireworks and firecrackers is a shared tradition and people across China decorate their house with the red color.(whether) In recent years, Spring festival is more like a time for family get-together and personal relaxation, not a tradition to celebrate.(where) Chinese people would like to spend the holiday at home, watching TV or playing mahjong.(who) On this day, family members who study or work away from home all come back and stay together. It is a time for family reunion.(why) It is essential to have such a festival to celebrate, because it offers the working people a chance to slow down, to strengthen the family bond and more importantly, to remember their tradition.4 Describe a city you have visited, which has impressed you so much. Why is it so impressive?I have visited many cities, but the city impressed me most is Suzhou. Suzhou is a city with more than 2000 years. In the city, you can feel its long history by the 1000 bridge on the river whose age is more than 1000 years and the gingko trees standing in the gardens. There is a proverb which is well known in china:” There is Paradise above and Suzhou Hangzhou below.”Suzhou is famous for its gardens, canals, silk, lakes, opera.The Suzhou classical gardens are UNESCO World Heritage listed and are the reason why the city has become one of the most revered cities in China.The characteristic of Suzhou gardens is that no matter where the visitors standing there is always a perfect picture. Suzhou is a city on the water. There are many rivers across the city which makes you think about the peom:” The beautiful scenery of little bridge, running water and cute house.” And Suzhou is also renowned for its colourful culture. It has Kunqu, also called Kun Opera, one of the oldest forms of Chinese Operas. You can sit in the stone-chair, drink a cup of tee, listening the kun opera. I love the old streets most, there are many Characteristic shop selling silk and cheongsam. In short, Suzhou is very romantic city.5 Compare your time with your parents'. What are the same and what has been changed since then.There are three main differences between our time and our parents. The first is the difference between foods. Before the reform and opening-up policy, food scarcity is big problem bothering lots of families. Many foods are distributed according to the number of people. In those days, many people suffered with hunger and deficiency of nutrition. But after the policy, all the people in China have solved the problem offood deficiency. Nowadays, the people pay more attention on the safety of food and the nutrition of food. The second is the difference between the clothes. In our parents’ time, because of the low level of economic, people should use the tickets to buy cloth making clothes. And the style along with the color of clothes is monotonous. With the development of economic, today the clothes are very colorful. The clothes become a way to show the people’s character. The third difference is the way to travel. In the past, the most popular way people choose is on walk. While now, our nation’s traffic condition has improved obviously. Roads become more and more wide, the speed become faster and faster, and almost every family have a car.The similarity of our parents’ and our time is that we are all leaded by the communist party of China.6 What is brain drain? What are the causes and effects of it?Brain drain is a buzzword that describes the departure or emigration of individuals with technical skills or knowledge.There are three causes. The first is the salary. Many individuals with technical skills can get a very high salary in foreign countries, but in China, they may not get the salary as high as in other countries. The second is ways of management. In China, all the people have to obey the boss, while abroad the relationship between boss and stuff is equal. The last is the chance to be promoted. It is very hard to get promoted in many state-owned enterprises, but maybe it is easier in USA where most things depend on yourself.There are many effects caused by Brain drain. To the country that many individuals go abroad, it is a great loss. It can weaken the potential of the development in the country, and then cause the speed of economic growth going down. Becides, it can also lead to the imbalance between the structure of people and society. Because the individuals with knowledge are full of vitality and energy. They are the pillar of the country.7 Tell me why you prefer a special book, music, sports or film.Nowadays, there are a great deal of pressure and brothering things. And when I come across these things, I would like to do some sports to relieve. The sports I like most is yoga. Yoga practice contains the central ideas that physical posture and alignment can influence a person’s mood and self-esteem, and also that the mind can be used to shape and heal the body. Yoga can provide the same benefits as any well-designed exercise program, increasing general health and stamina['stæmɪnə]持久力, reducing stress, and improving those conditions brought about by sedentary ['stæmɪnə] lifestyles. Yoga has the added advantage of being a low-impact activity that uses only gravity as resistance. Certain yoga postures can be safely used to strengthen and balance all parts of the body.8 Is there any school pressure on children in China? What can be done to relieve it? Yes, there is. Nowadays there are more and more pupils who committed suicide because of too much homework they cannot finished on time. So we can see the school pressure on children in China.The Chinese always value the academic performance. And scores on courses are the way to measure the students’ academic performance. Scores students got are also away to evaluate a school is good or not. Schools want to make more students enrolled so they can make more money and the parents who want their child to be something would like to send their child to these schools. Schools have to urge the students to study hard, and compare the students, rank the students, leave lots of homework.I think the best way to relieve the pressure is education reform. But education reform may be a long way to go in China. And the parents should not overemphasize the scores of children. There are many things more important than academic performance such as how to behave and how to care things around them. I think that the quality of teachers need to improve. If the teacher compare the children less and give them more praise, then the pressure on the children can relieve to some extant.9 What's the difference between dreaming dreams and realizing dreams? Dreaming dreams mean the dream is beyond your ability and even though you have tried your best to do it , you may never realize it or you have a dream but you never try to get it. But the realizing dreams has a clear goal, you can make your plan according to the goal. And realizing dreams is practical, it is in your ability. If you try your best, you can reach the goal, realizing the dream.10 Describe your hometown. Is there anything special about it?My hometown is the in the city of Yantai located in Shandong province.Yantai City lies in the northeastern part of Shandong peninsula, bordering on the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. It is situated at the foot of the hill and beside the sea with beautiful scenery. It has a long history and its culture atmosphere is very good.

Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world, so is my hometown. Nowadays, there are many kinds of environmental problems in my hometown.For example, the most obvious problem is water pollution, the rivers are not as clean as they were any more, worsely, fishes in it were died since these years,it is mainly caused by industrialproduction and the use of chemical substances in agriculture .Then is the solid waste pollution. We all know that solid waste occupying and polluting land, it also can increase the incidence of acid rain.That is all, thank you.3.what is being done to deal with the problems?To deal with the problems , our government has taken many concrete measures. Firstly,it has been let people gradually realized the importance of environmental protection through education. Secondly, many efforts have been made to put the population planning policy into practice. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally have been severely punished.Also, we ourselves has attached the importance of the environmentalprotection.

However, it also means you'll have a lot of problems to deal with, especially how to get on well with others.Nuclear familyNuclear family refers to a family consisting of parents and their children. It is the most common family structure in the society which represents most people's life. DINK family“DINK” means Double Income and No Kids. When we talk about family, usually we think of children, who are very lovely and naïve with big eyes, soft hair and round faces and always asking funny questions. But nowadays many young couples refuse to breed children. Then the family with only wife and husband is called “DINK family”.Single-parent familySingle-parent families are families with children under age 18 headed by a parent who is widowed or divorced and not remarried, or by a parent who has never married.The reasons for single-parent families are different. Some single-parent families came about because of the death of a spouse,some single-parent families were the result of divorce,and some single parents have never married and so on.That is all,thak you!单元五Which festival do you enjoy most?My favourite festival is Spring Festival.It was the first day of the lunar year.Spring Festival is the most important festival in China, and I have lots of fun at the Spring Festival. I can have delicious food and wear new clothes .I can also get some money and gifts from my parents.On the first day of the new year, everybody wears new clothes and greets relatives and friends with bows and congratulations wishing each other the best during the new year.Also, on the eve of the Spring Festival, The first thing we often do is to paste a spring couplet on doors which is written on red paper to give a happy and prosperous atmosphere. Then, the whole family sit together to make dumplings. After eating dumplings, my brother and I go outdoors to set off firecrackers .We often stay up late to see New Year in, which is memorable.单元六1.What do you think people will choose: a low-paid job one likes, or a boring well-paid job?I think many people prefer to find a job that they really like. After all, most people want to enjoy themselves rather than have plenty of money without a sense of achievement and happiness. On the other hand, some people may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their heart to earn more money. If one is inserious financial difficulty, one can hardly afford the luxury of a dream job. Money is the top priority.2. Do you think one's character is important in finding a job? Why or why not?I think it is. Although many employers lay emphasis on candidates' educational background and work experience, some believe that candidates' character is equally important for a successful career. In contemporary society, many projects are so large that they require the coordination of a group of people rather than a single person's effort. Therefore, a good team player is often welcomed. Professionally skilled people may not be able to accomplish a large project if they are easily angered and cannot get along with their colleagues. If you want to assume a leading position, you should be firm on important issues while allowing your subordinates plenty of freedom. In fact, it is becoming increasingly common for companies to test candidates' EQ (emotional quotient) before they decide to hire them.3. What questions do you think are often asked in an interview? Why are they asked?To start with, the interviewers may ask you about your education. In this way they can gather information to see if you have acquired the basic knowledge required for the job you are applying for. Perhaps most of them will ask you about your work experience in this field to see if you have the necessary skills for the job you have in mind. Usually employers do not like an entirely inexperienced employee. They may also ask about your character, weaknesses and strengths to find out what kind of person you are. They may even ask you something that is not directly related to the job in question. Your answers tend to show your intelligence level and communication skills.单元八1、Why do you think some people smoke? What are the disadvantages of smoking?Some people think smoking makes them relax. Some people smoke just because all those around them smoke. Some believe that by passing cigarettes around, it will be easier for them to start a friendship. Others claim that smoking is a precondition for a booming tobacco industry, which in turn ensures a large tax income for the state. But I think those reasons, if we can call them reasons, are insignificant compared with the harm smoking brings. Smoking is harmful to one's health. It can lead to many diseases. Long-term smoking may result in lung disease, or even lung cancer. Also, some heavy smokers may suffer from breathing difficulty, high blood pressure, heart trouble, amongst other diseases. It has been proved that even non-smokers who breathe in the smoke can develop health problems. Moreover, cigarettes cost money. Some chain smokers consume two packs of cigarettes a day. This can be an unnecessary financial burden on a family that is not rich.2、In China becoming an old-age society ? Why? What problems can this cause and how can we solve them?The aging of the population depends on mortality and fertility, and the falling birthrate is the main factor to accelerate the aging of the population. Earlier entered the aging society of China is one of the developing countries. China's population aging is not only China's own problems, and relationship to the process of the aging of the population in the world, the world watches. An aging population will bring the elderly family intergenerational structure changes. Population aging makes the medical security problems of the elderly is becoming prominent. And it causes elderly dependency coefficient, family and social burden of raising the old man. Healthy old age security efforts and development, is to ensure social stability, one of the important measures to solve old support, need the help of the whole society and support.3、What problems can poverty cause ?Can you think of any solution to the problem of poverty?With the boom developing of economy, rich-poor divide is becoming more serious, many people are in poverty. Poverty may leads to some social problems. Owing to poverty, many children die of hunger and disease, leaving high mortality. What’s worse, crime rate is on the rise. Also, many kids can not be educated like their peers; many children have to drop out of school because of lacking of money. So, what can we do to solve the problem? I think the high-roller should pay more taxes. Our government also need invest huge funds into the poverty-stricken areas, providing with the basic prevent of life and creating more jobs. Last, as Chinese citizens, we should not look down upon poor man. On the contrary, we could try our best to help them get rid of poverty and become better to get rich.4、What should be done to help unemployed people?Before unemployed people find a new job, their basic living standard should be met. They need subsidies (补助金) from the government to maintain live a normal life, which includes money for food, clothes, shelter and transportation. It is also important for unemployed people to be trained for re-employment. The government should offer training programs to update their skills so that they will become competitive on in the job market again.对话单元二A: Most of the world’s rainforests are in danger of destruction by loggers, farmers and developers.
