5、四级）口试模拟试卷 7答案与解析 一、考生个人情况介绍 1 【正确答案】 Education in China Part 1 (2 minutes) E First of all, wed like to know something about you,so Im going to ask some questions about yourselves. E Which do you think is more important for university students, practical skills or theoretical knowledge? Give your rea
6、sons. A As for me, I think practical skills and theoretical knowledge are both important. In another word, the most important thing for university students is to learn how to put their theoretical knowledge into practice. So theoretical knowledge is the foundation for the development of practical sk
7、ills, and practical skills are the final goal. These two aspects are both of vital importance for university students. Without either of them, the campus life is a failure, and the higher education is a failure to some extent. E Today university students have to pay tuition and fees. Do you think th
8、is is reasonable? (Why?) A Its a fact that university students nowadays have to pay tuition and fees. Moreover, the tuition and fees are increasing year by year. I think its reasonable, although some people are complaining that some poor students cant afford the high tuition and fees and were kept a
9、way from university. In my opinion, the new tuition system does add many difficulties to the poor students but it will never keep them away from university. Firstly, the government has provided some special assistance for poor students. Secondly, they are entitled to take a loan from banks or work s
10、ome part time jobs during their spare time. Finally, they can try to win a scholarship by additional effort. However, with more income, universities can invest much more money to improve the living and teaching conditions, and better the quality of higher education. Its very important to the develop
11、ment of universities, higher education and our country. E Whats your major? Why did you choose it? A My major is International Trade. Before the entrance exam to college, I had considered this question for a long time. That time China was trying to become a member of WTO, and the entry was widely ex
12、pected. I thought China would enter into WTO in two years, and last year China entered into WTO as I had expected. More multinational corporations and capital will be lured into China, and the amount of trade between China and other countries will be larger and larger. So, I chose international trad
13、e as my major. Now Im more and more interested in international trade, and my knowledge of this field is becoming richer and richer. Im confident that I can do a good job with my ability in the future. E Apart from your major, what other subjects do you think are very important for you? Please expla
14、in briefly. B My major is International Trade, and I like this major very much. Apart from my major, I think finance is also very important for me. International Trade and Finance are part of economy. As everybody knows, all courses in one area have some internal connections with each other, especia
15、lly in science courses. The subject of Finance will help me study International Trade. Secondly, the employees of many multinational corporations are required to obtain knowledge of many fields especially Finance. So, its very important for us to get a position in these multinational corporations. A
16、nd working for a multinational corporation is one of my dreams. Id like to learn some courses of Finance. E Would you like to be a teacher after you graduate? Give your reasons. B In the past three years of my college life I have never ceased to think what kind of work I shall take up upon graduatio
17、n. Although my ideas are not consistent, I have now decided on a college teacher as my life long career. A number of reasons have led me to choose this occupation. Firstly, teaching is learning. Secondly, teaching means freedom and independence. As a teacher, Im free to use my own ideas and make my
18、own decisions. Finally, I like teaching because it offers a certain peace of mind. No more rush to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome. 二、考生相互问答 2 【正确答案】 E Now, Id like you to talk about something between yoursel
19、ves. You should take care to share the opportunity of speaking. A With computers popularity on campus, sending e-mails becomes a main way of communication. You neednt buy a computer because there are computers everywhere, so I think e-mail will be the main way of communication in the future. B Its t
20、rue that e-mail communication is very advanced and has many advantages. But what Id like to point out is that it has some drawbacks; more and more rubbish e-mails are sent into your mailbox whether you like them or not. A Right, last week I have accepted over 30 rubbish emails. B I can say for sure
21、that e-mail communication will never take the place of postal communication. It requires people to know a little computer and English, Those who dont know English cant use it. In addition, writing a letter is cheaper than sending an e-mail. A Compared with other means of communication, letters take
22、a long time to reach people. You know, in the information age , we attach great importance to work efficiency. All is zero without efficiency. B Yes, I quite agree with you. Thats why I prefer to send messages by e-mail. B Can you list some ways of communication before computer comes into your life?
23、 A Ok, when I was a middle school student, I never saw a computer, just heard that there was a department named computer science and technology. At that time I u-sually communicated with friends and relatives through letters and sometimes I visited them if I had some thing urgent, and if we are far
24、away, sometimes I phoned them, but that time few students had phone, so phone was not the main communication way we used. If we meet some urgent matter, telegram turned out to be the choice. In a word, before computer comes into my life, I had only a less of ways of communications. A Do you think tr
25、aditional means of communication have any predominance? B Modern communication technology has brought us great convenience, traditional means of communication are being paid less attention to than before, but they wont be replaced by modern communication; they have their particular predominance. Fir
26、stly, the more advanced technology the tender it is. Computer cant work if the power is out, and we have to turn to traditional communication. Secondly, some manuscript is far more valuable than electron edition, especially famous peoples manuscript. Thirdly, many people feel traditional communicati
27、on more reliable, which relates to a nations culture. B Do modern communication have any impact on peoples value? A Science and technology greatly changes peoples living habits, and the change of living habits must bring some influence to culture, and then have impact on peoples value. 三、继续性问答 3 【正确
28、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 In my hand, the picture shows a girl is playing tennis. Actually it is a kind
29、of physical hobby. Intellectual hobbies such as reading can train ones brain and provide temporary escape from ones trouble. On the other hand, physical hobbies such as playing tennis can keep us fit and develop team spirit. I think, In order to make our lives enjoyable, we should have both intellec
30、tual and physical hobbies. E Thank you. Now,candidate B,could you please ask your partner a question? B Can you say something about your own hobby or hobbies? A My hobby is reading. Reading is one of the greatest pleasures in my life. It increases my pleasure when Im cheerful, and lessens my trouble
31、s when Im sad. Whenever I read books, they always give me enjoyment and satisfaction. The most valu-able gifts offered by books are; knowledge and experience. In books I may visit famous places, meet various people, get to know new thoughts, which is quite beyond my experience of everyday life. So,
32、I like reading very much. E OK. Candidate B,here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture. B Internet is a fantastic information expressway that connects every corner of the world. However, like everything else, it has both positive and negative aspects. On the one han
33、d, it provides tremendous most updated and useful information. We can not only get all kinds of useful information and educational programs from the long-distance educational system, but also shop on website. On the other hand, there is also some useless or even harmful information. Many students ke
34、ep playing games or visiting useless websites all the day. It takes them much time and maybe waste them much money. Listening to music and traveling are two different hobbies. Music, we say, is the art of organizing sounds. Music is a rhythmic poem that inspires, a harmonious tone that tranquilizes,
35、 and a melody of mystery and beauty. If you have a hobby of listening to the music, the music would have a wonderful effect on your feelings. Soft and sweet music soothe the wearied, the sad, and the restless; grand music will fill strong men with great ambitions. But only listening to music cant ke
36、ep one fit and develop team spirit. As for travel, it can keep you fit. Moreover, you can learn much from traveling, and travel can broaden your perspective. However, travel is costly in both time and money. E Thank you.Now,candidate A,could you please ask your partner a question? A Some people spen
37、d a lot of money on hobbies. Do you think it worthwhile? B I think it depends on whether you are rich. I mean, if you are rich, you spend a lot of money on hobbies and it brings you happy, its worthwhile; if you are poor, you spend so much money on your hobbies that you cant dress warmly or eat your fill, I think it is not worthwhile. You should keep balance between the expenditure of hobbies and the joy brought by your hobbies. Although hobby is very important to ones life, there are other aspects that are more important than it.
