5、ed like to know something about you, so Im going to ask some questions about yourselves. E Are you satisfied with the environment you are living in? A Im dissatisfied with the environment Im living in now. Im a university student in Beijing. Actually I think the environment on campus is very good, b
6、ecause there are many trees and plenty of grass on campus. For example, at dusk, we can see many birds flying over the campus. Its very beautiful. What makes me dissatisfied is the environment of Beijing. Some of Beijings rivers are very dirty and smell feculent. Beijing also has sensible sandstorms
7、. This environment problem is getting more and more serious. As the suffusing dust blocks out the sky, enshrouding the cities, the storm brings much inconvenience and trouble to peoples daily life and work, and even claim lives in regions where the problem is more serious. E Has your university done
8、 anything to protect the campus environment? (If yes, what has it done? /If not, why not?) A Yes, my university attaches great importance to the campus environment. There are many lawns and trees in my university. Workers often mow the lawns and clean the streets on campus. So, the campuss always ke
9、pt tidy. There is a very beautiful lake on campus. After lunch, students and teachers always go there to have a walk. Three years ago, the water of this lake was very dirty, and teachers and students often complained about it. Then, my university mobilized all the students and teachers to clean this
10、 lake. Firstly, they drained all the water. Secondly, they scooped out the garbage that sunk to the bottom of the lake. Finally, they pumped clean water into the lake. Now the lake has restored its beauty. This is one example of what is being done to protect the campus environment, from which we can
11、 see all teachers and students are contributing to the campus environment at protection. E Why is environmental protection important? A To know the importance of environmental protection, you should know the damage done by pollution. Pollution is harmful to human beings. Polluted water causes many k
12、inds of diseases. And sometimes these diseases kill peoples lives. Dirty air or garbage causes stinging eyes and running noses. Pollutants are destructive. They eat away the stone and cause iron to rust. Environmental pollution is more serious in some areas. E Is environmental pollution a local or g
13、lobal problem? (Please explain) B In my opinion, environmental pollution is both a local and global problem. Environmental pollution does great damage to peoples health and drives a growing number of people into poverty. So in many nations, environmental degradation is now recognized as a key barrie
14、r to governments ability to meet basic needs and sustain living standard. At the global level, almost all of the indicators are negative. Each year now, the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reaches a new high, and the ozone layer grows thinner. Thousands of plant and animal species no lon
15、ger exist. The world environmental protection has, in a sense, been under way for more than two decades. Grass-roots environmental organizations proliferated in these years. Environmental pollution is a serious problem that needs to be solved by all human beings both on a local and global level. E W
16、hich do you think is more important, environmental protection or economic development? B Some people think that the most urgent task is to develop economy on a large scale because many people, especially in rural areas, are living in poverty. They believe only by further balancing and developing our
17、 economy can we get rid of poverty and gain overall prosperity. On the other hand, many people insist that environmental protection should be top priority. We have only one mother earth. If our ecological environment is heavily polluted or ruined, we could not survive on this planet. In my opinion,
18、both economy and environment protection are urgent tasks. Without economic development, we would remain backward and possibly be conquered or bullied by other powerful countries. On the other hand without environmental protection, we would lose our home. Therefore, the best solution is to develop en
19、vironmental-protection-oriented industries and agriculture, killing two birds with one stone. 二、考生相互问答 2 【正确答案】 A I think the 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 wil
20、l happen. For example, at the crossing, everyone should obey the traffic lights. B Yes, its very important to obey traffic rules. 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 c
21、ondition, and its the best way to avoid traffic accidents. A As far as I know, there are many traffic accidents caused by violation 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
22、 street against the traffic lights. B I think we should obey traffic rules to avoid traffic accidents. A But there are still 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
23、 traffic accidents. What can we do? B We still can do something to solve this problem. Drivers should keep alert and show consideration 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 s
24、hould 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 that 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 stren
25、gthen the supervision of transportation, such as speed limits on the highway in bad weather, broadening the street, forbidding 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
26、are a driver, certainly you should not drink alcohol before driving and be aware of the fatal consequences of your carelessness; 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 da
27、ily 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 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 yo
28、ur bus at the bus station for a long time. Besides, riding a bicycle can avoid traffic congestion. Sometimes a bicycle is faster 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
29、 streets. You can go anywhere at any time. B What measures has the government taken to reduce traffic accidents in cities? 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 b
30、roadening the streets and building new streets, because traffic accidents are caused by the narrow or crowded streets. Secondly, 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 inves
31、t money into the education to make people conscious of traffic rules. For example, in the street, we can see some advertisements 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
32、the picture. Candidate A, this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it. A The picture shows us a prospect of family reunion. The whole family is getting together and having a wonderful supper. In holidays they choose to stay home to enjoy and relax with the family. Each member of th
33、e family appears to be happy and they are toasting to each others health. In China family reunion is a traditional way of observing holidays. E Thank you. Now, candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question? B Do you think we should spend our own festivals or western ones? A Im a more tra
34、ditional person. Ive also noticed the change and my attitude toward this phenomenon is just live-and-let-live. People can have their own way of life. If they want to celebrate the western festivals, then just let them do so. But for myself, I prefer celebrating our traditional ones. Chinese are more
35、 reserved. And being reserved is not a fault in our character. We just show our love in our own way. It may not be spoken out, but one can feel it. And usually its the deepest, and the strongest love. Under the more reserved appearance, there is often a more colorful and richer inner world. So its s
36、till more important to celebrate our own festivals. E OK. Candidate B, here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture. B In the left of pictures, groups of people, mostly women, are shopping in the stories. They are purchasing all kinds of clothes. In holidays people us
37、ually stroll along the streets. There are usually many sales for them to get a good bargain. In the right picture, a boy indulges himself in the net. Surfing the net seems to have brought great satisfaction to him. Indeed surfing the net is convenient, but we should be aware of the problems as well.
38、 The web can be dangerous because it can be addictive and violent sites are easily accessible and can pollute young minds. Additionally, it influences your working and studying play if you spend too much time on it. So, people should be careful not to be misled. E Thank you. Now, candidate A, could
39、you please ask your partner a question? A What should we do to encounter these phenomenon? B In my opinion, at present, we have two urgent tasks at hand. One is to develop our economy quickly, and it can help us win back the youth. The other is to publicize and give more attention to our own culture
40、. We can create a kind of atmosphere with the help of government, and our mass media. We should learn from the foreigners but we should have our own understanding to these festivals. For example, we could have a candle supper with our lovers without rose or chocolate, and we could express the same feeling by our own ways.
