14、r name is Wang Kai and you are Gao Feng? Thank you. First of all we d like to know something about you, so I m going to ask you some questions about yourselves. Wang Kai, where are you from? Wang: Im from Fushun. But Im now living and working in Shenyang. Interlocutor: How long did you live there? W
15、ang: 25 years, until I came to the Northeast University in Shenyang to work. Interlocutor: What is it like living there? Wang: Well, very convenient, I should say. Fushun is an industrial city. Not very big, but it is easy for you to go to work, to visit your friends or go shopping. The only thing I
16、 dont like is its weather. Interlocutor: How does your hometown compare with Shenyang? Wang: To say it frankly, I like Shenyang better. It is big and modern. There are many more opportunities for education and jobs. Interlocutor: All right. Gao Feng, where are you from? Gao: Im from Shenyang. I ve b
17、een living here all my life. Interlocutor: How do you like Shenyang? Gao: It s a nice place to live in, as the center of culture, politics and economy of the province. The traffic is highly developed. Interlocutor: Are there anything you dislike? Gao: Yes. It s a bit crowded with over 7 million peop
18、le. And it is very windy in spring. When there is a sandstorm, you can hardly move against the wind. Interlocutor: Is there any other places that you would like to live in very much? Gao: Yes. 二、考生相互问答 2 【正确答案】 Gao: I m not a rich man. But with the rising living standard and the healthier developmen
19、t of real estate, it seems quite possible that I will be able to buy a house soon. Well, for me, the most important thing is comfort. Is it big enough? Is it well-structured? Is it supported by good community service? What about you? Wang: I am a little different from you. I will first of all consid
20、er cost. If I cannot afford it, it is meaningless however comfortable it is. And location I want to buy a house near my office downtown. Isn t that important to you? Gao: I am afraid not. If I can buy a house away from the town at a lower price, I will use the money saved to buy a car and drive to w
21、ork. It is a wonderful way to enjoy life. So, I think location is the least important. Wang: But I think the least important thing is social status. I don t care whether I am living in “ the noble community“ . As a matter of fact, I dont want my child to rub shoulders with those children from rich f
22、amilies. That s why I think environment is also important to me. Gao: You mean cultural environment or natural environment? Wang: Cultural environment. Gao: I see, like Mencius s mother, who moved three times just because of the neighbors who were not decent and well-educated. I think people living
23、in the neighborhood are more and more diversified. Wang: I cannot agree more. But I m sure there are places where there are more educated people. 三、继续性问答 3 【正确答案】 Interlocutor: All right. Now, Wang Kai would you like to begin first by telling us which topic you have selected and give the presentatio
24、n, please? Wang: Id love to. I would like to say something about smoking, that is, whether university students should be allowed to smoke. In my opinion, university students should not be allowed to smoke on campus. The reasons are as follows: In the first place, university students are around 19 to
25、 23 years old, still not fully mature either physically or psychologically. Smoking may affect the healthy growth of their young bodies and leave a lot of regrets. Secondly, smoking on campus pollutes the environment. Though all the universities have strict rules and non-smoking classrooms and offic
26、es, it is still not unusual to smell the smoke or to spot cigarette butts. This is particularly evident in winter when windows are often closed. Finally, smoking may help develop bad manners sub-consciously. Once one becomes addicted to smoking, it will be difficult for him or her to choose the time
27、 and place to smoke. To those non-smoking students and teachers, it is extremely impolite and offensive. All in all, smoking can result in a lot of problems in universities. Therefore, students should not be allowed to smoke. Interlocutor: Thank you. Now, Gao Feng, would you like to ask some questio
28、ns? Gao: OK. I m not a smoker myself. But many friends of mine started smoking in universities. Do you think people can also benefit from smoking? Wang: I used to smoke, though not heavily. I think the benefit is that it can help you relax. It is said that smoking can stimulate your thinking and bri
29、ng up your creativity. I m afraid I have never had that sort of experience. Gao: So when and why did you give up smoking? Wang: 5 years ago. I gave up smoking because of my daughter. She started to learn to play the piano at that time. And my wife was very busy. My daughter disliked the smoky smell.
30、 She insisted that if I did not quit smoking, she would quit piano. Well, I thought it was better if I quitted in that case. Gao: That is a good reason to quit. Interlocutor: All right. Now, Gao Feng, would you like to begin by telling us the topic you have chosen and give the presentation, please?
31、Gao: OK. Id like to talk about “How do you adapt yourself to a new environment?“ With the rapid development of society, it is becoming increasingly important to adapt yourself to the new environment. To achieve this goal, I need first of all to keep myself well informed. Because of the development o
32、f modern science and technology, a great deal of new information comes into being almost every day. If I stay away from books or mass media for a single day, I 11 find a lot of terms and events strange. Therefore, in order to avoid being out of date, it is necessary to read, surf on the Internet and
33、 communicate with people. A second way to adapt myself to the society is to master at least one foreign language, for example, English. After China has become a member nation of WTO, cross-cultural communication is getting more and more frequent. Not being able to use a foreign language can possibly
34、 hinder one from contacting people from other cultures. This is particularly important if he or she is involved in an international cooperation. The last thing to be done is to familiarize myself with modern information technology. It is said that the inability to use a computer is more or less the
35、same as being unable to read or write. With the help of computer, work will become more convenient, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Anyway, it is very important to adapt oneself to the new environment. Otherwise, you will be left far behind. Interlocutor: Thank you. Now, Wang Kai, would you like
36、 to ask some questions? Wang: OK. Do you think it necessary to change your present lifestyle to cater to the new environment? Gao: I don t think so. A wiser way is to integrate the changes with the existing way of life so that you will have a richer life. Wang: But what if you are a traditional pers
37、on and do not welcome changes? Gao: It is really a problem. I have met a lot of people like this. Because of reluctance to accept new things, they find themselves uneasy in the changed, modern society. Life is spoiled by complaints sometimes. Interlocutor: Thank you. This is the end of the test. Good-bye.
