2011年口试真题
2011年真题Task I: Retelling a storyBryan was driving home one evening, after a day of job hunting. He had been unemployed for two months. Thinking of his pregnant wife, still working to feed the family, he was very depressed. Suddenly he saw an old woman standing alone near a car. Obviously something was wrong with her car and she needed help. Bryan pulled up and got out of his car. The old lady was so cold that she couldn't even speak. She had probably been waiting here for hours, since not many people were out in this chilly snowy night. He said, "I'm here to help. Why don't you wait in my car where it's warm? I'll take a look at your car." Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an elderly person, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car and changed the tire quickly. But when he stood up, he found his new suit covered with dirty snow. The grateful woman asked him how much she owed him. Any amount of money would have been all right with her. Bryan was surprised. He never thought about money. Still in a sad mood about his unemployment and his new suit, he told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person some help. Then Bryan and the old lady drove off. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to take something warm. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile. The lady noticed that the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. What a nice girl. The old lady said to herself. Then she remembered Bryan. After she finished her meal, she left quickly, placing four 100-dollar bills and a note on the napkin. "You don't owe me anything. When you see someone who needs help, do the same." The girl couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the money. Thinking of her poor husband, she couldn't help calling home. "Bryan, can you guess what happened to me today?"(373 words)Task II: Talking based on a given topicTalk about an experience you've had of kindness shown by a stranger,Task III: Role-playingStudent A: Yale law professor Amy Chua's child-raising memoir Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has recently captured global attention.

Shenzhen, 15 May 2008Speech by Juergen Boos, Director of the Frankfurt Book FairAt the opening of the 4th International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF), China, 16-19 May 2008I am extremely honoured to be here today for the opening of the fourth International Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen, the largest fair of its kind in China. And I congratulate the aspiration of the People’s Republic of China to improve the international marketing and promotion of the Chinese culture. All around the world, people are curious to get to know China better. They are not only interested in the economical and political aspects of the Asian Giant, but also its culture.The Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen is an international platform for culture in all its many aspects – digital media are just as much at home here as print products, dance and folk art, calligraphy and literature. For the first time this year, an entire hall has been dedicated to international exhibitors, emphasising the increased importance China places on international contacts.The topic I would like to focus on today is how to market culture internationally. Because that is exactly what the Frankfurt Book Fair has been doing ever since our reestablishment 60 years ago, after the Second World War. The title of my presentation is: ―Creating the Best International Platform for t he Chinese Book and Media Industry‖. I must admit this is not a difficult task for me. Because in 2009, China will be the Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest fair for content and media. In my opinion, that is a fantastic opportunity for the presentation of China’s culture and literature to the world. Together with this year’s Summer Olympics and the World Expo planned for 2010 in Shanghai, China is in an extraordinary position to demonstrate all the many facets of its culture to the world.The Frankfurt Book Fair is unique because there is no other place in the world which brings together so many international publishers, writers, critics and other publishing professionals. More than 7,000 exhibitors from over 100 countries around the world present their products at our Fair–on 172,000 square metres of exhibition space. And approximately 180,000 trade visitors come to Fair every year from every corner of the world.The attention of the international media is turned to the Guest of Honour for five days in October. Because the Book Fair is such a huge cultural event. There are about 2,700 individual events which take place during the Fair, in the Fair buildings themselves as well as around the city of Frankfurt. Events which traditionally attract around 283,000 visitors. Already several weeks before the fair, the media in Germany begin to focus on the Guest of Honour.Numerous independent events draw attention to the country’s literature and culture. Events which range from readings and discussions on literature, politics and history – to theatre and dance performances, exhibitions, films and concerts. There are often special conferences offered about the visiting country and even special courses at community education centres.The success story of the Frankfurt Book Fair clearly proves that culture and commerce cango hand in hand. On this note, I would like to wish you all a very successful time during the International Cultural Industries Fair in Shenzhen. And I am looking forward to the Guest of Honour presentation of China in 2009!【主会场】法兰克福书展主席岳根·博思先生在中国（深圳）国际文化产业高峰论坛上的演讲（中英文稿）尊敬的各位贵宾，尊敬的各位来宾：我很高兴今天来参加第四届中国（深圳）国际文化产业博览交易会——这个中国最大的文化产业博览会的开幕式。

2011英语口语考试题目提纲
1、Are you hesitant about revealing your identity when you chat on the Internet?Why? When it comes to chatting on the Internet,I am certainly hesitant about revealing my identity. As a starter, I won’t use my real name when chatting online because an alias will prevent someone from pulling up your life history from Google. It is quite easy to link real names with address and other pieces of information. Besides,I don't include my email address as well. The more you reveal about yourself, the easier it is for people to track you down. Every bit of information that you tell someone about yourself is a puzzle piece that can easily be linked with other details to create a clearer picture of who you are.So,if you are an adult and have a teenager or even younger child at home, you must stress these safety rules with them to protect not only them, but also the rest of your family.2、What qualities must a person have to make big money?There are quiet a few wealthy people around us, their process of relentless struggle for their dreams has been putting positive influence on us for every single moment.In my opinon,if a person want to make big money,he must have qualities as follows: First, he must be talent and have abundant knowledge. Second, he must be popular enough to make more friends covering every fields. Besides,he must have good communication abilities to establish good relationship. Last but not least,he must grasp the very opportunities which is not easy to come at the right time and take good advantages of them to make big money.3、Do you think money can bring happiness? Why or why not?Well, I don't think money can bring people greater happiness.Maybe you will say that if we don't have money we can do nothing , and we can not buy what we want .If we don't have money what we can do is only to work work work,or we don't survive.May be so,we really can do few things without money.But do not only think that aspect.Although money can bring what we need in physical ,such as clothes ,something to eat,and so on,then what about the mental need,money can't satisfy it,at least money can't buy real love and other mental things. I think money is needed,but money is not everything.So I think that money may make us happy but it can't make us feel greater happiness.And this is just what I think .Thank you!4、Would you like to be a housewife/househusband after you receive higher education?Why or why not?Well,as a matter of fact,I wouldn't like to be a housewife or a househusband (after I receive higher education).Since I am a medical student, I prefer to be a successful surgeon(外科医生),because working in the hospital I can not only use what I've learnt at school,but also learn lots of things that school couldn't manage.It can improve my social intercourse(社交礼仪) and I can also earn money for my family to prove that I’m successful .But if I was a housewife/househusband,I would be just busy doing housework all day.I think it's boring to do that.5、What are the most common kinds of addiction around you?How do they affect people’s life?Nowadays,computer is considered to be one of the most common kind of addictions in human history.It has influence on every aspect of our daily life as a result of the development of computer.A computer works much faster and accurately.Of course,science fictions have made up many fascinating stories about a computer,or robot,who conquers man and the Earth,even the whole universe;however,they are only unrealistc imaginations.With the widespread of computer network and technologies,more and more people are getting hooked on the Internet and becomes slaves to Internetchat rooms or games.The computer addiction results in disrupted marriages,childhook delinquency,crime and over-spending.The future for the computer is very promising.With the help of it,we can do things that could not be done before.However,we must notice and minimize its negative effects.6、What kind of pets do you like?Why?I like to keep cats as pet.I used to have a cat.Everyday I played with the cat when my parents were at work.Wherever I went,I would bring the cat with me.We were really good friends.But now I don't have any of them any more. I gave my cat to my neighbour,because I'm very busy with my studies.Keeping the cat took too much time and attention from me.If I had some time in the future,I surely would keep a cat again.7、Is it only a fad(一时流行的狂热) or an irresistible（不可抵抗的）trend for foreign people to learn Chinese?Why?Nowadays,with the rapid development of China’s economy and social status,Chinese, our mother tongue,tends to be popular. Honestly, Chinese is hard to learn for foreigners, but as China getting stronger in the world, learning Chinese is becoming an irresistible thing more ang more for better international communications.Moreover,China has such a huge population that there are too many opportunities in this developing market which requires Chinese language skills and if you want the job, you gona learn some Chinese more or less. Even if now learning Chinese is a fad to some extent, there is still obviously an irresistible trend to learn Chinese for foreign people for an easy and better life in China.8、Is stress always bad for people?Why or why not？In the past few years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive. They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally.In fact, however, stress isn’t the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Above all, unless it gets out of control, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless, idle life. Furthermore, people under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth—the very aim of a human life. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.9、Please talk about the negative effect and the positive effect of tests.Nowadays, examinations and tests seem to be pushing students and their teachers harder than ever.On one hand, in an exam-oriented country, teachers in schools wouldn't usually be expected to teach anything other than that set by the standard curriculum, which could narrow the views of the students and the way they think about the world.On the other hand,as no way of examining one's abilities more objective than tests is yet invented, tests, however,remain an important role in the process of education. What is now needed to be done is that a balance should be made between tests and general learning, where exams can bring the most benefits and the least adverse effect(副作用).proper emphasis on testing today is definitely necessary and could have a positive influence on students and teachers.10、Which do you prefer,Chinese movies or foreign movies?Why？I enjoy seeing foreign movies. I can improve my English through watching them. In addition, watching foreign movies can take my mind off to a distant land. The outlandish setting often excites me, and the different values tend to give me much food for thought. However, occasionally, I do enjoy some Chinese movies, even though they cannot yet compete with Western movies in filming technology. I do hope the next generation of Chinese movies will make further improvement.。
2011年英语专八作文真题及答案
2011年英语专八作文真题及答案全文共10篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hi guys, today I'm gonna tell you about the 2011 English for Specific Purposes (ESP) exam question and answer. It was a real tough one, let me tell you!The question was all about the impact of technology on our lives. We had to write an essay discussing whether technology has made our lives better or worse. Well, that was a tricky one for sure!I wrote about how technology has made things so much easier for us. Like, we can chat with our friends online, or watch videos on our phones, or even study for exams using the internet. It's like a whole new world out there!But then I also talked about how technology can be a bit... well, overwhelming sometimes. Like, we're always staring at our screens and not really living in the moment. And there's all this fake news and stuff online that can be pretty dangerous.In the end, I said that technology is both a blessing and a curse. We just have to be careful and use it wisely, you know?So yeah, that's my take on the 2011 ESP exam question. It was a real challenge, but I think I nailed it! Thanks for listening, guys!篇2Yo yo yo, what's up my homies! Today I'm gonna tell you about the 2011 English Pro level eight test essay question and answer. So like, sit back, relax, and let's get into it!Alright, so the essay question was all about how technology has changed our lives. Like, super deep stuff, right? And we had to talk about the good and bad sides of it. So here's what's up:On the one hand, technology has totally revolutionized the way we do things. Like, we can talk to peeps from all over the world with just a few clicks. It's like magic, man! Plus, we can learn stuff super fast with all the info on the internet. No need for those boring old encyclopedias anymore. And don't even get me started on how easy it is to shop online. Like, I can get all the latest toys without even leaving my house. It's lit!But, like, there's a downside too. We're always glued to our screens, right? Like, instead of playing outside or hanging with our friends, we're stuck on our phones or tablets. Plus, there's all this cyberbullying and fake news going around. It's like, is anyone even real anymore? And what's with all the hackers trying to steal our info? Not cool, man.So, in conclusion, technology is like a double-edged sword. It's super awesome and convenient, but we gotta remember to take breaks and not let it take over our lives. We gotta stay woke, my dudes!Alright, that's it for today! Stay cool and keep it real, my peeps! Peace out!篇3Yo! Guys, let me tell you about the English Specialist Test 8 in 2011. It was like super tough, but don't worry, I got all the answers for you!So, the essay question was like "Should parents be strict with their children?" and I was like woah, that's a big question. But I think it's important to have rules and discipline, you know, to teach us right from wrong and make sure we grow up to be responsible adults.First of all, parents need to set boundaries to keep us safe and help us learn how to behave. Like, if we're not allowed to play with fire, it's because they don't want us to get hurt. And if they say we have to do our homework before we can watch TV, it's because they want us to do well in school.But at the same time, parents should also be loving and supportive. They need to listen to us and understand our feelings, even when we mess up. They shouldn't be too strict or mean, because that can make us feel bad about ourselves and rebel against them.I think it's all about finding a balance. Parents should be strict when they need to be, but also be kind and caring. That way, we can learn from our mistakes and grow up to be independent and confident.So yeah, in conclusion, I think parents should be strict with us, but also show us love and understanding. That way, we can become the best versions of ourselves. Yay for awesome parents!And that's it, folks! Hope you enjoyed my little recap of the 2011 English Specialist Test 8. Stay cool and keep studying hard! Peace out!篇4Hey guys, do you want to know about the 2011 English Special Eight exam? Well, let me tell you all about it!The 2011 English Special Eight exam had a really difficult topic about the impact of technology on the environment. The question asked us to discuss whether technology was helping or hurting the environment. It was a tough topic because we had to think about how things like cars and computers can be good but also bad for the environment.In the exam, we had to write an essay arguing either for or against the idea that technology is helping the environment. I chose to argue that technology is actually hurting the environment because I think things like factories and cars are causing pollution and global warming.I had to come up with lots of reasons and examples to support my argument. I talked about how cars release harmful gases into the air and how factories dump waste into rivers and oceans. I also mentioned how using too much electricity can contribute to climate change.After writing my essay, I was so nervous about how it would turn out. But when I got my results back, I was so happy to see that I got a really good grade! It just shows that all that hard work and preparation really paid off.So to all the other students out there taking the English Special Eight exam, don't worry too much about it. Just relax, do your best, and I'm sure you'll do great. And remember, even if you don't get the grade you want, it's not the end of the world. Just keep working hard and you'll get there eventually.Good luck, everyone! I know you can do it!篇5Hey guys, do you want to know about the 2011 English Major Proficiency Test (TEM-8) essay question and answer? Well, let me tell you all about it in a fun and easy way!The essay question for the 2011 TEM-8 was: "Is it important for young people to travel abroad?"And here is how you can answer this question in a simple and interesting way:First of all, traveling abroad can be super cool because you get to see new places, try new food, and meet new people.

Let me tell you all about it!So, the topic of the PET writing test in 2011 was about the environmental problems caused by plastic pollution. The question asked us to discuss the effects of plastic pollution on the environment and suggest some possible solutions to this problem.In the essay, we needed to describe how plastic pollution is harming our planet, like how it is affecting marine life, polluting the oceans, and causing health problems for animals and humans. We also had to come up with some ideas to reduce the use of plastic and find alternatives to plastic products.For example, we could talk about using reusable bags instead of plastic ones, buying products in bulk to reduce packaging waste, and supporting businesses that useeco-friendly materials. We could also mention the importance of recycling plastic and educating others about the impact of plastic pollution.In the end, we had to conclude our essay by emphasizing the urgency of the problem and calling for action to protect the environment from further damage. We needed to show ourpassion for environmental conservation and inspire others to join the fight against plastic pollution.Overall, the key to acing the PET writing test in 2011 was to write a well-structured essay with clear arguments, relevant examples, and persuasive solutions. It was important to demonstrate our English language skills, critical thinking abilities, and creativity in addressing a global issue like plastic pollution.So, that's a brief summary of the 2011 PET writing test topic and answer. I hope you found it helpful and interesting. If you have any questions or want to know more about the English PET test, feel free to ask me! Keep practicing your English skills and do your best in the exam. Good luck!篇7Hello everyone! Today I'm gonna tell you about the 2011 English Proficiency Test (EPT) for middle schoolers. It's like a super hard English test that some students take to show how good they are at English.The EPT has lots of different parts, like reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It's kinda like a big challenge to see if you know English really well. But don't worry, I'll tell you all about it!In the reading part, you have to read a bunch of passages and answer questions about them. Sometimes the passages are about history, science, or even fiction stories. You gotta be really good at understanding what you read and answering the questions correctly.Then there's the writing part, where you have to write essays or short answers to questions. You gotta make sure your grammar and spelling are perfect, and that your ideas make sense. It's a real test of your writing skills.Next up is the listening part, where you have to listen to conversations or lectures and answer questions. This part can be hard because you have to pay close attention and remember what you hear. But if you practice listening to English every day, you'll be a pro at this part!Finally, there's the speaking part, where you have to talk about a topic or have a conversation with the examiner. You gotta be confident and speak clearly so that the examiner can understand you. It's like having a chat with a friend, but you gotta use fancy English words!Overall, the EPT is a big challenge, but it's also a great way to show off your English skills. If you study hard and practice everyday, you can totally ace the EPT and impress everyone with your English abilities. Good luck!篇8Hey guys, do you want to hear about the 2011 English Major Band 8 test? It was totally crazy! The topic was all about globalization. So basically, they asked us to write an essay about how globalization affects different aspects of our lives. It was like, whoa, so deep!In my essay, I talked about how globalization has made the world more connected. Like, now we can talk to people from all over the world on the internet and stuff. It's so cool! But then I also mentioned how some people think globalization is bad because it can like, wipe out local cultures and stuff. It was kinda hard to write about both sides of the argument, but I think I did okay.Oh, and there was also a listening part where they played this recording about environmental issues. It was so sad, you guys! They talked about all the pollution and deforestation happening in the world. I felt really sorry for the animals and stuff. I hope we can do something to help the environment.And then, the reading part was about technology and how it's changing our lives. They had these really tough passages about artificial intelligence and robots. It was like reading a science fiction story! But I think I understood most of it.Overall, the test was super hard, but I think I did my best. I hope I can get a good score and pass the Band 8 test. Fingers crossed!篇9Hey guys, today I'm gonna tell you about the 2011 English Band Eight exam. It was a super tough test for all the big kids who wanted to show off their English skills. But don't worry, with a little bit of practice and some tips, you can ace this exam too!The essay question in the 2011 exam was all about discussing the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city versus living in a small town. You had to write about the pros and cons of each place and give your opinion on which one you think is better.Some of the advantages of living in a big city are that there are lots of job opportunities, cool things to do like shopping and going to fancy restaurants, and the chance to meet people from all over the world. On the other hand, big cities can be supercrowded, noisy, and expensive. Plus, you might have to deal with traffic jams and pollution.Living in a small town has its perks too. It's usually quieter, safer, and you can really get to know everyone in your community. But small towns can be boring, with not much to do and limited job opportunities. Plus, everyone knowing your business can sometimes feel like too much.In your essay, you had to weigh up these pros and cons and then give your own opinion on whether you'd rather live in a big city or a small town. The key to acing this part of the exam was to use lots of examples and reasons to support your argument. Make sure you write clearly and use good grammar too!So, even though the 2011 English Band Eight exam was a tough one, with some practice and preparation, you can totally rock it. Just remember to stay calm, stay focused, and show off all the awesome English skills you've got!Good luck, guys! You've got this!篇10Hey guys, today I'm going to talk about the 2011 English CET-8 (College English Test - Band 8) writing task. It was a tough one, but let's break it down together!The topic was about the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on our lives. We were asked to discuss both the benefits and potential risks of AI technology.First of all, let's talk about the good stuff. AI has definitely made our lives easier in many ways. For example, AI technology is used in virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, making it easier for us to find information and complete tasks hands-free. AI also helps in healthcare, by assisting doctors in diagnosing diseases and recommending treatment options.However, there are also some risks associated with AI. One major concern is job displacement, as AI and automation could replace many human workers in various industries. There are also ethical concerns, such as the development of autonomous weapons and the potential for AI to be used for malicious purposes.In my opinion, it's important for us to continue developing AI technology, but we must also be mindful of the potential risks and take steps to mitigate them. Education and training programs can help prepare people for the changing workforce,and regulations can be put in place to ensure that AI is used ethically and responsibly.Overall, the development of AI has the potential to benefit society in many ways, but we must also be cautious and proactive in addressing the challenges it presents. Let's embrace the future of technology, but let's do so thoughtfully and responsibly.That's all for today, folks! Thanks for tuning in to my little chat about the 2011 CET-8 writing task. Remember, stay curious and keep learning! See ya next time!。
