From newspapers, the radio, TV or the Internet? A I usually get the latest news from the newspaper and th
6、e Internet. Im a university student and I live on campus. I have my own computer. Every day I spend almost all my spare time in Internet to search for data and information to write papers, visit some websites to get the latest news and so on. For me, Internet access is free.

They sell all kinds of newspapers, such as Nanfang Weekly, the Peoples Daily and so on. There are also
8、various kinds of entertainment newspapers, academic newspapers like 21st Century Economy Report and so on. Its very convenient to get many kinds of newspapers. For this reason, I like campus life. E How often do you watch TV? What programs do you like best? (Please give your reasons.) A There is no
9、TV set in my dormitory, so I seldom watch TV since I began my campus life. But I used to watch TV very often, and my favorite program was network news offered by CCTV. Firstly, it covers news about important events both at home and abroad. Secondly, the news it provides is timely and reliable. Final
10、-ly, its broadcasting in the evening during the so-called “golden time“. For these reasons, the network news program reaches a wide range of viewers. E Do you have access to the Internet on campus? Which sites do you often visit and why? B Yes, I have access to the Internet on campus. I always searc
11、h for data and information, receive and send e-mails, get the latest news and chat with my good friends on line. The internet is indispensable to my campus life. It makes my life rich and colorful. I often visit www. sina. com. cn and www. hotmail. com. I often check my e-mail boxes, because almost
12、all my friends live in other cities, provinces or even abroad. I communicate with them briefly by e-mails. And Im holding a part time job as a translator. My boss sends me the papers needing to be translated and I send him the papers that have been translated into Chinese. So, every day I check my e
13、mail boxes at least three times. E How does the mass media affect our lives? B First of all, the mass media has great influence on our lives. There are so many forms of media in our lives; radio, television, newspaper and Internet. As soon as we open our eyes early in the morning, we will be influen
14、ced by some kind of media. Mass media helps us follow the latest development of many aspects in our lives. It helps us know the changes taking place in our country and the world, teaches us knowledge, makes us relaxed and so on. Certainly there are some negative affects of mass media. For example, s
15、ome news is not objective, or even not true. It is broadcast just for the sake of making profits. For this reason the government should strengthen the supervision of mass media. E What would life be like without the mass media? B If there were no mass media, our lives would be gloomy and humdrum. Be
16、cause of mass media, we can know the latest development in economics, politics, culture, entertainment, military affairs and so on; we can get useful information to lead a happier life; we can obtain knowledge from the educational programs on television; we can relax from tiresome study or work. Wit
17、hout mass media, maybe you would have no topic when you chat with your friends; we could do nothing after work and study. So the world without mass media is beyond imagination. 二、考生相互问答 2 【正确答案】 E Now, Id like you to talk about something between yourselves. You should take care to share the opportun
18、ity of speaking. A In my opinion, my favorite way of spending the holiday is to be with family. After all, Chinese people are very traditional and respect ancient traditions. B I dont agree with you. With the development of civilization, we need more friends and have to get more information from out
19、side, so we should add a new dimension to the way of spending a holiday. A As for me, the best way of spending a holiday is shopping, because there is always a big sale during the holidays. We have no time to go shopping on working days. Shopping caters for womens pleasure as well. B I prefer to sur
20、f the net during holidays. With the development of society, many good friends are far away from us. I cant afford the phone bill, so we usually keep in touch with them through Internet. It makes us nearer. A Thats right. The internet is popular among young people. Its hard to image if we depart from
21、 the web. B I think we should have a mild attitude towards holidays. Our main aim is to relax, so whatever ways we choose to get through our holidays, we shouldnt expend too much energy, because after holiday we have many things to do. B Nowadays China traditional festivals are struck by western one
22、s, and whats your opinion about this phenomenon? A I think this phenomenon has something to do with the open-door policy and the popularity of English language in our country. Since the beginning of the 90s, English seems to play a more and more important role in our society. With a good knowledge o
23、f English, you can easily find a job with a fairly high salary. And its a passport to most people, especially youths who are willing to go abroad to pursue further studies. Without English, you cant even use the computer, the most widely used apparatus in modern society, and have still less chance t
24、o travel on the internet. Most advanced technology is introduced into the country originally in English. Whats more, many western countries are more powerful than China, so shouldnt we first learn as much about it as possible before we could overtake it in economy? A Why do you like western festival
25、s? B I like these western festivals. Just now the student above talked so much about learning the language and culture. No doubt it is reasonable. But I join the growing numbers who celebrate these festivals, not only because its foreign. In my o-pinion, these festivals just express more concern, mo
26、re caring about individual feelings than their Chinese counterparts do. For example, for Christmas, we prepare and send gifts to friends or the older, and always give each other a surprise. On Valentines Day, not only young people, but people of various ages send roses, chocolates to the person he o
27、r she loves. It just expresses their bless for the person they love. Isnt it an enjoyable thing? B Do you think what has caused this phenomenon? A Just now the student said that people celebrate the western festivals because they want to learn their culture. But its not always the case for every per
28、son. Some young people just think lightly of our own culture. They hold the view that foreign countries are more developed than us and we should learn from them. Certainly its true, but what we should learn is science and more advanced technology, and also, not just paying attention to their life st
29、yle. Additionally, the advertising of the businessmen enhanced this phenomenon, a few days before the festival especially the Christmas, we can see the advertisements and decorations at the gate of restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and even little stores. In this way they have created the atmosphere
30、 of celebrating these western festivals. 三、继续性问答 3 【正确答案】 E Im going to give each of you a picture and Id like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture. Candidate A,this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it. A There are two pictures
31、in my hand. They show us one of the reasons for traffic accidents terrible weather such as rain and fog. In the first picture,there are many cars, buses and taxis are running in the smog. But for the drivers, its too foggy to see other vehicles. Maybe one car wanted to speed up or one bus wanted to
32、slow down, as a result, these two vehicles crashed into each other. And one by one, the vehicles behind them crashed into each other. In the second picture, its raining hard, and the street is very slippery. A running car slipped to the side of the street and crashed into a telegraph pole. This scen
33、ery frightens a passer-by with an umbrella in his hand. In the second picture,some people are walking; some people are riding bicycles and motorcycles; some others are in the cars. Its too crowded. Then a car crashed into a fruit booth, and the fruits are dropping down on to the road. The second pic
34、ture also shows us a narrow street. A line of cars were crossing the street, suddenly a bicycle rushed out and the first car couldnt stop at once. Then they crashed into each other. E Thank you. Now,candidate B,could you please ask your partner a question? B Do you think traffic accidents can be avo
35、ided? (Why/Why not?) A Yes, of course traffic accidents can be avoided. Drivers and pedestrians are both responsible for the avoidance of traffic accidents. Firstly, they should both obey traffic rules no violation of the traffic rules such as traffic lights, no drunk drivers and so on. Secondly, th
36、ey should both keep alert and show consideration for others. In the street, everybody should be polite to others. Thirdly, everybody should keep their vehicles in good condition. E OK. Candidate B.here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture. B There are many traffic
37、rules. For example, you should not carry passengers when you are riding a bicycle. The first picture in my hand shows the serious consequence of doing so. A man is riding a bicycle and his wife is sitting at the back seat of the bicycle with a child in her arms. But unfortunately the bicycle crashed
38、 into a car, the husband, wife and child are all falling down to the ground. Poor condition of vehicles is one of the reasons for traffic accidents. In the second picture, many passengers are standing to wait for green light. A boy is riding a bicycle rushing towards an old woman. It seemed that he
39、couldnt stop the bicycle. Then the boy immediately says sorry to the old woman and explains that something has gone wrong with the bicycle brake is out of order. E Thank you. Now, candidate A,could you please ask your partner a question? A Do you think drivers should always be held responsible for t
40、raffic accidents? (Why/ Why not?) B No, drivers should not always be held responsible for traffic accidents. For some accidents, the drivers are to blame. They sometimes drive too fast and show no consideration for others. They think they are safe at the wheel even though they have drunk too much al
41、cohol. Some drivers are unaware that their carelessness may have fatal consequences. For some accidents, the blame must be put on the pedestrians. Some careless pedestrians step off the pavement without looking to the left or right. Some even cross roads when the traffic lights turn yellow. So, drivers and pedestrians should both be held responsible for traffic accidents.
