Lin: Great idea!

21)-30)

O.K., let's begin our class.

Today, we're talking about smoking in the United States. Specifically, I'm going to talk about the effect that scientific research on smoking has had on our culture.

First, I need to talk about an important term, secondhand smoke. That's smoke from someone else's cigarette. When you're sitting next to someone who is smoking, you are breathing in their smoke. Secondhand smoke has about 60 carcinogens in it. Carcinogens are chemicals that cause cancer. Some medical researchers estimate that as many as 60,000 non-smokers die each year because of secondhand smoke.

I think that you can understand why a lot of non-smokers are angry about this. They have pushed states and cities to ban smoking in all public places. Many places in the United States now have very strict anti-smoking laws for businesses, restaurants, hotels, and bars. All air flights in the United States must be non-smoking flights.

Although there are strict non-smoking laws in many cities across the United States, some regions are clearly stricter than others. The anti-smoking movement tends to be strongest on the West Coast, for example in California, and in the Northeast. Anti-smoking laws vary considerably. In some cities, you can smoke in bars, but not in restaurants. In other cities, you aren't allowed to smoke in any public place.

For all of you as foreign university students, this information is extremely important. Smoking is a very emotional topic for thousands and thousands of Americans. It may also be very emotional in other countries as well. If you smoke cigarettes, be very careful where you light up. Ask about the local laws and customs first. If you don't smoke, it's a little easier for you, but be careful in conversations. Y ou still could get into a big argument about smoking.

41)-50)

Ming: Hey, listen to this. The average American watches four hours of TV a day.

Jack: A day? Y ou’r e joking.

Ming: No, it says so right here in this newspaper. Hmm, I guess you’re an average American, Jack. Y ou always have your TV on.

Jack: Come on. Are you saying I’m a couch potato?

Ming: Y eah. I really think watching TV is a waste of time.

Jack: Oh, come on. Some programs are bad, like those soap operas. But what about sports or the news? Y ou watch those sometimes, don’t you?

Ming: Well, actually, for the news, I prefer the newspaper. Or the Internet.

Jack: Why?

Ming: First, because they give you a lot more information. And I can read them any time I want. Plus, I hate all the commercials.

Jack: I know what you mean. That’s why, when the commercials come on, I just turn down the volume or change channels.

Ming: Y eah, I noticed that. Channel surfing drives me crazy.

Jack: OK, next time you come over, I’ll let you have the remote control.

Ming: Oh, that’s so sweet. But I have a better idea. Next time I come over, let’s just turn the TV off.

（二）“高级英语听说(1)”终结性考试口语部分

2. 试题举例

Section One

Directions: Read aloud the part between the stars (*). (2 minutes)

Hello everybody. Welcome to the American Language Center. I’m Gina Richards, your academic advisor. Y ou can all just call me Gina. I know today is your first day at our school, so you’re probably a little nervous and maybe a little shy, too. So, I want to tell you right at the beginning: if you don’t understand something, please ask questions.OK? And listen very carefully because we’re going to give you a lot of important information —information that will make your experience here enjoyable and useful. Okay, here we go.

(*)Let me tell you about the plan for today. There are three things on your schedule. First, you will take a placement test. This test will measure your English level. Y ou’ll take a reading, grammar, and composition test. Oh, and also listening. A listening test. The whole placement test takes three hours.

Next, you will meet in small groups, with a teacher, for an orientation. This orientation meeting will be about important things you need to know, like where to buy your books, what type of classes you’ll have, how to find a roommate, things like that. This is where you can a sk a lot of questions.

Then, finally, this afternoon, you will take a campus tour. We’ll show you the main buildings where your classrooms are; you’ll see some of the sports facilities, you know, the tennis courts, the swimming pool, places like that; and you’ll also visit the library and the computer lab. I think you’ll be surprised how large and how beautiful our campus is. All right. Are there any questions before we begin? (*)

Section T wo Speak based on a given topic: (3 minutes)

Talk about one of the ceremonies that people go through in your hometown (coming-of-age, graduation, marriage, etc). Which one has been the most important in your life until now? Why?
