During the Mid-autumn festival, it seems that everyone is in a happy mood, no matter whether you are rich or poor, young or old. There
14、 is a friendly and happy atmosphere everywhere. All family members enjoy the same gladness, so 1 like Mid-autumn Festival most. E Where would you like to spend your holidays, in the countryside or in the big city? B I would like to spend my holiday in the countryside, partly because I live in a big
15、city and I find it very difficult to put up with such problems in cities as pollution and traffic jams. I want to taste a new way of life. In the countryside, there is always something new, something fresh to see. Taking a holiday in the countryside, youll feel relaxed both in mind and body. Besides
16、, its marvelous to get close to nature. I can go fishing after lunch every day, and also raise dogs without worrying about disturbing the neighbors. E During these years some people call Labor Day and National Day golden-week, what is your opinion about this? B Previously people only knew they could
17、 relax in holiday. With the society developing, many people have come to realize that holidays can stimulate the growth of the economy. If you walk down the street just before holidays, you will see lots of people spending their money on all sorts of items, such as computers and expensive clothes. W
18、ith longer holidays people in China will spend their money on traveling, shopping and so on instead of saving. The circulation of currency is promoted in this way and some businesses such as tourism are booming. On the other hand, since people have more time to relax, their work efficiency has been
19、greatly enhanced. Consequently, the growth of the economy has reached a high level. So the Labor Day and Nation Day are called golden-week. E Are there disadvantages of celebrating a holiday or not? B Holidays have many advantages, but it also has some disadvantages. Firstly, holi-day can make you s
20、ick without your notice. People eat and drink too much, which is unhealthy, and many people get sick. Secondly, it brings pollution to environment; we can see more and more scenery and historic sites are destroyed by tourists. Thirdly, its a waste of money. Usually during holidays people will spend
21、a large sum of money on presents, food, clothes, traveling and camping. All these produce a lot of waste and its plastic bags then cause pollution. 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 opportunity of speaking. A I think th
22、e best way to avoid traffic accidents is to obey the traffic rules. As long as you do so, every vehicle can run smoothly and orderly in the street, and no traffic accidents will happen. For example, at the crossing, everyone should obey the traffic lights. B Yes, its very important to obey traffic r
23、ules. But if your vehicle is in poor condition and it breaks down suddenly in the street, a traffic accident will also happen. So, I think we should keep our vehicles in good condition, and its the best way to avoid traffic accidents. A As far as I know, there are many traffic accidents caused by vi
24、olation of traffic rules. Some people ride bicycles with another person sitting at the back seat; some drivers drink too much alcohol before driving; some pedestrians cross the street against the traffic lights. B I think we should obey traffic rules to avoid traffic accidents. A But there are still
25、 traffic accidents taking place although we obey the traffic rules and keep our vehicles in good condition. If the weather is bad, or if the street is narrow, we cant avoid and traffic accidents. What can we do? B We still can do something to solve this problem. Drivers should keep alert and show co
26、nsideration for others especially in bad weather and a narrow street. A Yes. Moreover, pedestrians should also keep alert and show consideration for others. For example, they should look to the left and right when they step off the pavement. B Sure, all of what you said is right. I just think all th
27、at you said can be found in the traffic rules. So, as long as we obey the traffic rules, there will be no traffic accidents. Its the best way. Besides, our country should strengthen the supervision of transportation, such as speed limits on the highway in bad weather, broadening the street, forbiddi
28、ng the booths at the sides of streets, etc. B What can we do as citizens to help reduce traffic accidents? A I think it depends on the role a citizen plays in the city. If you are a driver, certainly you should not drink alcohol before driving and be aware of the fatal consequences of your carelessn
29、ess; if you are a pedestrian, then please obey the traffic rules and be careful of the vehicles running in the street. Certainly, no matter which role a citizen plays in his daily life, a driver or a pedestrian, its a must for him to obey traffic rules. A What do you think of bicycles as a means of
30、transportation in big cities? B I think bicycle is a good means of transportation in big cities. Firstly, you need not take the crowded bus and subway. You need not wait for your bus at the bus station for a long time. Besides, riding a bicycle can avoid traffic congestion. Some-times a bicycle is f
31、aster than a bus or taxi because of the traffic congestion. I think most of us must have had such an experience. And a bicycle is so convenient for riding and parking in crowded streets. You can go anywhere at any time. B What measures has the government taken to reduce traffic accidents in cities?
32、A Our government has taken many measures to reduce traffic accidents in cities. Firstly, the government invested much more money in the construction of transportation, such as broadening the streets and building new streets, because traffic accidents are caused by the narrow or crowded streets. Seco
33、ndly, government has strengthened the supervision of traffic. If its in bad weather, the speed of vehicles would be limited especially on highways. The government can also invest money into the education to make people conscious of traffic rules. For example, in the street, we can see some advertise
34、ments about traffic accidents. 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.

35、can feel the coming of spring by these two pictures. In the first picture, the trees are burgeoning, so the light green color is spreading endlessly before my eyes.

36、ll of hope. In the second picture, ice and snow are melting. We can see water in river flowing happily in the sunshine of spring. However, too much ice and snow can bring us flood sometimes. Spring is the beginning of a year. As a good beginning is half done, we should especially value spring and tr
37、y to make full use of it. Sow seeds in spring and you will get a good harvest in autumn. Then you will see how important spring is and how lovely it is! E Thank you. Now, candidate B,could you please ask your partner a question? B What was the weather like during the May Day holidays? A Oh, the weat
38、her during the May Day holidays is always very fine. May is the end of spring and beginning of summer.

39、very beautiful. So, in the May Day week-long holidays, many families like to go traveling. E OK. Candidate B,here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.

40、ld is endless before my eyes. A tractor is reaping the paddies. I can imagine the peasants smiles on their faces. The weather in autumn is very good. Its sunny and the temperature is agreeable. Many people go out to have a travel in this season. In the second picture, a girl with a traveling bag on
41、her back is climbing a mountain. The scenery in this picture is very beautiful. Certainly, in this season, leaves begin to fall and flowers begin to wither away. This is why some people say that autumn is a season of sadness and loneliness, but I dont think so. I like autumn because its a season of
42、harvest. There will be no beginning without ending. E Thank you. Now,candidate A,could you please ask your partner a question? A Which season is best for tourism? B Obviously autumn is the best season for tourism. In autumn, its sunny and warm. Rain will be less often than that of spring and summer.
43、 Temperatures will be lower than that of summer and higher than that of winter. You can climb mountains without worrying about the slippery roads in raining or snowing weather. Temperature is steadier than that of spring, so you need not take several kinds of clothes in your traveling bag. Whats more, in autumn there is a week long holiday, National Day holiday. Its really a good chance to travel.
