I could not answer these questions well because I had never thoughtabout them before. so I think that monemt is the most embarrassed moment in my life10.What harm can anger cause ? Can you suggest some ways to control anger ?We all konw anger can hurt our families and friends and it is harmful to our own body .So it is very important for us to try to control anger When we are angering. There are many ways to control anger such as rest , relax ation.,reading, taking a deep breath and so on.11.3 Can people be judged by their looks? Why or why not ?I think We should never judge people by their appearance, otherwise we may easily be cheated.

In you opinion, is this good or harmful?They have low wages and the development of the company in the future is poor.Above all,They think they are so young that they have many chances.It has some advantagesThey can have higher wages,Widen their field of vision and a gre ater probability of successThe disadvantages are that they must establish theirCommunications again and make the employers lose their confidence77777777777The stock market has its advantages. When a company is listed on the stock market, it can raise funds, which can be used to promote its development. When many promising companies offer their shares to the public, a huge amount of money can be collected, which will boost the growth of the national economy.However, in a bear market most stocks depreciate , andmany investors lose money. Worse still, some companies make false financial reports to cheat the public,which make the public lose more money .An unhealthy stock market is harmful to the country.888888888Do you think most people today will put their money in banks, the stock market or real estate? Why?It seems to me that most Chinese are traditional, and they like to put thei r money in the bank . It is true that bank interest rates are low. However, deposits in banks are safe. You can be almost in the 1990s, many Chinese seldom enter the stock because the stock depreciate easilyThe real estate【房地产】 market was hot, or rather overheated.NOw, the government publishs regulations to discourage The real estate .So perhaps some funds will pull out of the real estate market and move to the bank s . Generally speaking, I think most Chinese prefer to save their money in bank s for guaranteed returns.。

Do you agree with me?P: Of course. In my opinion, humor has an important impact on interpersonal communication humor has the power attracting others. For example, a humorous person is always the focus of any gathering. People concentrate on him spontaneously.F: I can’t agree with you more. And what I want to add is that humor is also t he best way to solve some conflicts between friends. When people are about to quarrel, a humorous remark leading to help settle the problem.S: Yes. Humor is a very important quality for a person or for getting along with others. In addition, a sense of humor can help you win a lot of friends.

A young couple was becoming anxious about their four-year-old son, who had not yet talked. They took him to specialists, but the doctors found nothing wrong with him. Then one morning at breakfast the boy suddenly blurted, "Mom, the toast is burned." "You talked! You talked!" shouted his mother. "I'm so happy! But why has it taken this long." "Well, up till now," said the boy, "things have been okay."F: it’s so funny. It turn to me to share a joke. Mrs. Brown: oh my dear,I have lost my dog. Mrs. Smith: you must put an advertisement in the papers. Mrs. Brown: it’s no use. My little dog cannot read.P: Eh. Let me tell you a litt le humorous story named “Two Pieces of Cake”. A boy named Tom said,” Mom, can I have two pieces of cake, please?” Then his mom replied, “Certainly -- take this piece and cut it two!”G: I know it. The humor lies in the point that Tom want to eat two pieces of cake, his mother agreed but actually she ask Tom to cut one piece into two, which made no sense.S: Well. My story is:Tommy: How is your little brother, Johnny?Johnny: He is ill in bed. He hurt himself.Tommy: That's too bad. How did that happen?Johnny: We played who could lean furthest out of the window, and he won.What is your favorite film and why do you like it so much?W: Do you like watching movies?P: Yes. I like watching movies very much. Pride and prejudice is my favorite film. The story itself appeals to me very much. It says Darcy, a proud man looks down on thosewho are in a lower social class, and Elizabeth who has prejudice on Darcy, fell in love with each other and married finally.G: “The Legend of 1900” touches me so much. I cann ot help recommending it. The film tells us the legend of a man named 1900. He is a talented pianist live in a ship from cradle to grave. Even at last he does not get off the ship although the ship is planned to be blown up. Land is a ship too big for me. I t’s a woman too beautiful, it’s a voyage too long, a perfume too strong, It’s music I don’t know how to make, he says.W: Well. My favorite film is The Fast and The Furious, which is well known for its exciting racing scenes, wonderful plot, perfect actors and actresses. When I first saw it, I was shocked by their passion for racing. It’s obvious that this kind of racing means dangerous and even death, but they said:” Drive or die.” At that moment I understand if you really take interested in something, then there is no fear.F: As for me, modern times is my favorite film, which is self-directed and performed by Charles Spencer Chaplin. Actually, Chaplin is one of my favorite actors. Modern Times was a wonderful blend of comedy and social drama. The movie provided a look into the world of the great depression by people who lived it.S:My favorite movie is Twilight. The main characters are named Edward and Bella. They can’t help loving each other. Edward is a vampire who has lived hundreds of years, while Bella just a ordinary high school student. When Bella recognizes that Edward is a vampire, she still chooses to love him under the pressure of every aspect. And Edward also pick the choice to protect Bella at all costs.F: I also like it so much. The story is so romantic.S:I like this movie so much that I have seen it four times. I think the movie stars in it are very beautiful and handsome. In a word, I just like it the moment I see it.P: I think Keira Knightley is beautiful as Bella.F: Sorry for interrupting you. Who is Keira Knightley?P: Keira Knightley, the actress of Elizabeth in Pride and prejudice, is very beautiful. And she showed me a true and charming character.W: actually, we can learn much from films. For example, still remember what Dom said---- Money are come and go, we know most important thing in life always be the people in this room, right here ,right now. Certainly, we have a group of friends to heart, what a lucky thing and nothing can replace it.。

大学英语(四)口语考试卷(2009级普本)
第1题Mention at least three reasons people get angry. What can we do to control our anger? (Unit1) People get angry for a variety of reasons ，People tend to get angry when treated unfairly. Specifically, when we realize we were betrayed by a close friend or tricked by a clerk into buying something unnecessary at a high price.Of course ,when people treat us with contempt（轻视）, or deliberately ignore us, we may get annoyed too. To overcome our anger ,we have two options: to fight or to run. In the case of a small offense, it’s better to walk away and calm down. It is not necessary to explode .However ,when confronted（使面临）with a gross （总的）injustice or a serious crime ,we need to stand up for ourselves and speak our mind. After venting（消除）our anger ,we may feel better .If we keep negative feelings to ourselves ,we will probably feel miserable for a long time and regret not taking action.第2题Why do people get depressed? Is there any connection between depression and bad luck? Can depression be overcome? (Unit1)People feel blue for a variety of reasons. They feel depressed after failing an exam or losing a job. They feel grief when someone dear to them, for example a close family member, passes away, or Suffering from a serious disease with little hope of a complete recovery, one may feel dejected.(沮丧的)There seems to be a relationship between depression and bad luck. If your spirits are down and you show it, people might refrain(避免) from talking to you. Many good opportunities may slip away as a result. And you might be left wondering why your luck doesn’t change.To cheer yourself up, you can study or work. Your mood might improve if you keep yourself busy and try to achieve goals. And if staying busy doesn’t help, you can just wait for the sadness to go away. It is said that time heals all wounds. Finally, you might find solace安慰in realizing. Your situation is not the worst. You can also choose to look at the bright side of things because every cloud has a silver lining.（内层）第3题In what ways can people improve their appearance? (Unit2)Some people just want to improve their looks in small ways. They may go on a diet to maintain a good figure, they make up to improve their appearance, put a facial mask or skin smoother on their faces during the night, have their teeth straightened, or have their nails polished. Some others have a face-lift to change their nose or chin, make their single-fold eyelids double folded, and have their skin tightened to smooth out wrinkles and crow’s feet. Some even inject botox to remove wrinkles. More drastically, some people may have liposuction to remove fat.But, in my opinion the best way to improve appearance is trying to learn to be more elegant and to be more Knowledgeable.第4题Why do some people want to improve their appearance? (Unit2)A love of beauty is part of human nature. People like to see beautiful scenery, flowers, and animals. It is notstrange that they also want to look at good-looking humans and improve the way they look themselves. With improved features, one may find a better job, attract a more desirable spouse, and gain faster promotion.Some occupations attach great importance to appearance. Most actors, anchorpersons, and fashion models can be recognized by their looks.It is sometimes argued that by looking good, one tends to feel self-confident. With confidence, success is more likely to follow in any undertaking.第5题Briefly describe some natural. Search the Internet for information before coming to class. (Unit3) There are many kinds of natural disasters such as earthquake, flood, drought, forest fire, tsunami, snowstorm, blizzard, hailstorm, hurricane, typhoon, tornado, landslide, and volcanic eruption.An earthquake is a sudden change or movement in the Earth’s crust, causing a moving and shaking of the ground. A flood can be caused by excessive rainfall or quick melting of snow. When the water overflows a river’s banks, the nearby low-lying land is flooded. When there is no rain for a long period of time, there is a drought: crops fail and people may die of thirst. A forest fire may be caused by lightning or human negligence –for example, a burning cigarette butt-or arson. It may destroy large forests. A tsunami is a giant wave that rolls onto the shore. It can be caused by an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption or landslide. A snowstorm becomes a blizzard when the wind blows hand and visibility decreases.第6题What damage could an earthquake cause and what can human beings do to deal with it? (Unit3) An earthquake damages poorly-built structures. A powerful earthquake can destroy even well-constructed buildings. When the buildings fall down, human lives and property are ruined. Aftershocks may cause additional casualties. A heavy death toll, if not dealt with promptly, may be followed by an epidemic.It is difficult to predict earthquake, so we can only take preventive measures. For example, in an area prone to earthquake, we should construct strong, quake-proof buildings. We should also prepare emergency kits that includea torch, first-aid medicines and bandages. We should move out of dangerous quake zones. When an earthquakestrikes while we are in a building, we should move outside. If there is no time to leave , we can hide under a strong table or bad to avoid being hurt by failing objects. Don’t forget to turn off the electricity and gas to avoid accidents. 第7题In an Enterprise or institution, is it necessary to describe each employee’s duties clearly? Give your reasons.(Unit4)Generally speaking, it is necessary. Employees’ job should be clearly defined. With detailed job description, a worker will have a definite aim and high motivation to work toward that aim. They know how they will be rewarded and punished. Accurate job descriptions can do much to prevent unnecessary duplication and conflict among workers. If everyone in a company works as an organized team, the company is likely to grow and prosper.However, some potential problems are worth noting. If a job description is too detailed, some staff members will turn a blind eye to anything that falls outside their scope of responsibilities even if it is important to the company as a whole. Nor should job descriptions stand in the way of cooperation among employees. If those problems can be overcome, job descriptions will play a significant role in the company’s progress.第8题When a boss employs or promotes people, what may be the chief consideration: their education or their practical ability?(Unit4)In fact, most bosses will consider both, though they may probably attach more importance to the candidate’s ability. After all, a company’s profits come directly from abilities of the entire staff. Many of the qualities of a good worker such as diligence, teamwork, loyalty to the company, and courtesy to customers are gained through on-the-job training rather than from book knowledge.However, one’s educational background is not unimportant. If one can enroll in a distinguished university and attain a high GPA, it is likely that one already possesses good qualities like industriousness, intelligence, organizational ability, and a strong will---qualities that are equally useful in the workplace. But it’s also possible that some students from academic ivory tower are merely bookworms without much capacity for practical work. A boss is unlikely to promote such an employee.第9题What kinds of employees are likely to be fired? (Unit5)If employees do not observe company or department rules, they are likely to be fired. Any boss will be angry if employees are late for work or use the company phone to talk with friends. A boss dislikes people who don’t work hard, gossip a lot or read the newspaper over a cup of tea for hours. Even if one works hard, the boss may not be satisfied if one doesn’t work with high efficiency. After all, company profits come from employee achievements.Even though you’ve made significant personal contributions to the company, if you don’t get along well with your colleagues, you may impede the company’s productivity. After all, most jobs require teamwork nowadays. Usually the boss places a high value on employee loyalty. Disloyal employees may sell the company’s secrets and ruin it overnight. When the company is in financial difficulty and downsizing, the first to be dismissed will be those who have some of the above-mentioned problems.第10题After finishing undergraduate studies, would you like to find a job or pursue a postgraduate degree? Why? (Unit5)Some students prefer to look for a favorable job, through which they can gain useful experience that they can’t get from books. When they move on to a higher level job one day, then , they will already have experience in that field. At work, they can give full play to their practical abilities, and may be promoted to department manager by the time their classmates complete their Master’s degree programs.On the other hand, some students are not eager to take up a job and prefer to continue to study towards a Master’s degree or even a PhD. And we all know, knowledge is power. Although not everything you learn will be directly applicable at work, knowledge does improve your character overall. In the long run, those who acquire more knowledge will benefit from it.第11题Describe some superstitions in English-speaking countries. (Unit6)English-speaking nations have a number of superstitions. For example, many people believe 13 to be an unlucky number, and don’t want to live on the 13th floor on in Room 13. They say “knock on wood” or “ touch wood” to avoid bad luck. To wish somebody good luck, they may say “I’ll cross my fingers for you.” Superstitious people avoid walking under a ladder or opening an umbrella in doors. When they see a black cat run across their path, they think it’s a bad omen. Some people may hang a horseshoe over their door to ward off bad luck. If they happen to drop a mirror, they worry that they will have seven year’s bad luck. To ensure good luck, they may carry a charm of some kind, such as a lucky rabbit’s foot!第12题What is the relationship between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate? Does the former determine the latter or is it the other way round? (Unit6)Since the world is complex and mysterious, it is not easy to arrive at a definite conclusion. Some scholars, including a British psychologist, suggest that there exists a correlation between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate.But more research is needed before we can be sure of such a correlation. Moreover, the cause-and-effect relationship has not been clearly identified, and we are uncertain which causes which. In real life we can find counter examples: some optimistic people aren’t very lucky, while some pessimistic people are quite lucky. Perhaps we should try to find out which case is more frequent: optimistic people with good luck or optimistic people with bad luck. Judging from my personal observations, the former is more common. I can even supply the reason: optimistic people have more self-confidence, which facilitates their success in life. A survey involving many people is required to discover what most people think about this issue.第13题Name at least ten recreational activities, including those requiring a lot of physical exertion and those that are more relaxing. (Unit7)Some forms of recreation require a high level of physical activity. Here are some examples: football, basketball, badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Some people like climbing mountains, goings body surfing, or going rafting.After those strenuous outings, they feel mentally relaxed.On the other hand, some people prefer more sedentary activities. Instead of playing a ball game, they watch it.They go to a cinema, a theater, an opera house or a concert hall, or they simply sit at home watching TV. Some play various kinds of games on the computer, and others play chess or cards. Even when they want to stay outdoors, they may choose peaceful pastimes like fishing.第14题What do you think about the computer and the Internet as sources of entertainment? (Unit7) With the advent of the computer and the Internet, we can play all kinds of games in the virtual world; we can play chess and cards with people we have never met, even a chess master. We can travel to all parts of the world on the Net. We can send and Moreover, we can make use of the Net as a way of learning.But we should be careful not to get too much of a good thing. If we sit in front of a computer all day long, there will be many negative effects. Our eyes may get cause disease. Too much sedentary work is bad for our health. We may because physically week and develop a weight problem. Worse still, if we get addicted to the computer, we may neglect human relationships and communication between one another. In the end we would rather talk to a computer than to a human.第15题Should genetically modified(GM) foods be sold? Give your reasons. (Unit8)Some people do not like GM crops and food for various reasons. If transgenic crops are planted in a field, they may overrun it and eliminate other crops, for they are especially powerful. Some genetically altered plants and animals can be abnormally large, and people can not be sure that they will not be harmed from eating such foods. Moreover, we do not know whether abnormal genes will be passed on to the next generation. No wonder some people demand that GM food be labeled.But on the whole people are increasingly accepting GM food. Since we have not solved the problem of hunger in the world, GM food should be introduced to us. As the world population continues to expand, perhaps we have to depend more on GM crops in the future. So far, people eating GM food look just as healthy as those who do not, but scientists should monitor any possible dangers to health.第16题Is it possible that humans be cloned in the future? Give your reasons. (Unit8)Many people are against human cloning, and some countries have passed laws to ban it. It is often said that mankind should not interfere with nature, for we do not know what may happen if nature strikes back. Also, human cloning may bring many religious, social and ethical problems, and the present religious and social systems may collapse. Anyway, humanity has not yet mastered the technology to create a human.However, history shows that mankind is always curious to explore what is unknown and eager to accomplish what seems to be impossible. With further technological development, scientists will be able to create human clones, who are likely to be stronger, cleverer and better-looking than people today. Even if there are social and moral problems with human cloning, perhaps politicians and sociologists can figure out ways to resolve them. At least, the cloning of human cells and organs has great potentials in the medical field.。
英语四级口试题目汇总，参考价值高
英语四级口试题目汇总，参考价值高英语四级口试题目汇总，参考价值高今天小编为大家汇总的是大学英语四级口语的试题汇总，希望可以对有需要的孩子有所帮助。
第一场：理想工作Generally, everyone has his or her ideal jobs. Some people has the detailed aim such as a teacher, a doctor, or a lawyer, and others may have not decided a certain career, instead of which, they want a job with challenges or creativity. In my opinion, having an ideal job means having the inspiration and incentives, and my ideal job should be with following traits. First, it must ensure me to learn something new. Since learning new things is the mission of my whole life, and it will make the everyday job not so tedious. Second, it should give me some challenges, and in other words, it should not be too easy for me. Because the difficulties and frustrations in work will make me improve my skills in many aspects. Third, the working atmosphere should be harmonious, in which I can make friends with my colleagues. Since most people are busy working nowadays, and the companies may become the appropriate place where we can meet new friends. Also, to obtain the ideal job, I should study and work hard in my daily life, and the aspiration will be realized someday.第二场：难忘的一天Well, when talking about the memorable day, my first thought was a birthday party held last December.It was a sunny and cozy day. I was invited to a birthday party held by my American friend Andy in a beautiful part in Beijing.It was totally different from our Chinese gatherings since itwas in traditional western style. At the party, all of us wore great costumes and enjoyed various kinds of western food, which impressed me most was the tasty turkey cooked by Andy's wife. We danced together with the music and wished Andy all the best in his life. We shared different stories happened in China and other countries when eating the birthday cake. It was awesome.I'd like to say that was the most impressive party I've taken part in. Besides the delicate food, I also made new friends from different countries and learned a variety of cultural traditions from them. It was like a new world opened to me. In addition, I think this was an excellent opportunity for me to know other foreign languages besides English. If I can get other chances like this party, I really like to join again.第三场：民间艺术展览Personally, I am very fond of folk art. Sometimes, I go to the folk art exhibition as long as I have free time. As art made my life more colorful and interesting, I had always been addicted into art lessons and art exhibitions when I was a child. During that period, the art lessons and art gallery also developed my aesthetic.I draw pictures in my spare time and painting is one of my hobbies. Now, I usually spend my whole weekends on art gallery drawing pictures. Drawing brings me a sense of achievement. It's always exciting and entertaining to roam in the world of art. Moreover, folk art give me inspiration in drawing and I usually combine the element of folk art into my painting. Therefore, I am very interested in Chinese folk art.From my viewpoint, I'm partial to the Chinese folk art of ocean. For the reason that ocean always makes me feel broad-minded and peaceful. Besides, it's our traditional treasures. So I maintain that we should promote our traditional treasures to thepublic, especially the young.So, it is high time that some actions should be taken. On the one hand, it's advisable that the departments concerned should introduce and enforce some corresponding laws and regulations to protect our folk art, including hold folk art exhibition to the public, and promote the beauty of folk art to the social media. On the other hand, we are supposed to take advantage of the folk art exhibition to enlighten the public cultivating the habit of visiting art gallery and developing the awareness about maintaining and protecting our unique folk art. Folk art is one of the traditional treasures throughout history. It's our duty to protect and maintain our folk art.第四场：干净环境的重要性Let me see. Surely there's no doubt that lean environment is crucial. Everyone needs to live in a clean environment and I am no exception.The benefits are manifold. For instances, it is good for your health if we live in a clean environment, since we can breath fresh air and drink clean water. Clean environment provides us with opportunities to enjoy beautiful views of green mountains and clear rivers in which fishes swim freely.It also allows us to have good mood every day when working or studying. Just imagine, if we drive on the road after a day's tedious work, suddenly we run onto a road with litter everywhere and unpleasant smell from the river beside the road, what will we feel and what will we do? We are likely to feel grumpy and anxious.It is hard to imagine how awful and terrible our life would be if we can't live in a clean environment, so I'd like to suggest that we do all our best to protect our environment for our physicaland psychological health. It is our responsibility to protect where we live and set examples to the next generations so as to maintain our clean environments forever.第五场：音乐的作用Music can be classified into many different types, like Classical music, pop music, Blues, Rock & Roll Jazz, Orchestral music, etc. Different kinds of music can bring various kinds of emotion to people. For most people, music brings relaxation and happiness to our life. After a whole day of hard work, I'd like to lose myself into some kind of light music to relax both physically and mentally. When you're down, a joyful sound can sweep your bad emotion away. When you listen to their rhythm and style, you will feel your heart be touched and shaked in a blue mood. Then, you will be enlightened and cheer up soon. We can get power and courage from those inspiring lyrics to deal with challenges in our life. When you're lonely, music can be peaceful and comfortable, because it comes from within where no one can invade your private dreams.第六场：学习中遇到的困难Well, to be honest, everyone will encounter at least several difficulties in study. Personally, the most difficulty thing about study is to understand grammar. What's more, I believe that's the top difficulty among most of people who learn English as their second language. Due to the differences between two languages, most Chinese people can't fully understand the basic structure and rules about English, as well as the differences in thinking patterns and expression. When they do some translation, they just translate the sentence in word-to-word order without making their sentences logical. As a result, we can't communicate with foreigners and understand each other.So, even though we don't have any exams about grammar any more, we still need to learn some grammar. So understand what our shortage is and how to face it is important. Take myself as an example, well, first of all, I bought some books about grammar and start to learn by myself. But I still couldn't fully understand some of them. Therefore, I took part in a grammar class. In that class, I made friend with some of classmates. We often practice English together. Beside, I often talk to them, share my difficulties with them, so that sometimes they can help me to get out of the difficulties. Now, I have built up basic structure about English grammar system. I think I have overcome that difficulty.All in all, We will meet many kinds of difficulties in our study, if we give up quickly, then we will never address that problem. The best strategy to overcome the difficulties in study is to work harder on it. You can learn by yourself or with your friend. To find out what you couldn't understand and then practice.第七场：上大学的目的Um, well, I suppose going to college is one of the most important steps in our whole life.There are many benefits we can obtain from our college education. From the beginning, we can learn endless knowledge from learned professors in colleges. Besides those knowledgable teachers, there are also libraries where we can find what we want to read and learn. Above all, we can learn and improve ourselves most efficiently in colleges since there are great achievements of our predecessors accumulated in colleges, from which we don't need to experience the difficult research process again, just learn from our predecessors.Personally, it's my target to go to an excellent university sincethis experience not only helps me be an educated person, but also the most convenient way that allows me to find a favored job.Some may say we can also be educated and find a good job without going to universities. But please remember that learning in colleges is the most efficient way for us to achieve our goals.In short, the college is like an ocean of knowledge from which we can absorb useful nutrient freely.第八场：大学最喜欢的专业For the favorite subject in college, I guess I like the language course French best.I've learned this romantic language since I was a freshman in the classes of Miss Isabelle.Among numerous languages in the world, French is the one that I am curious to learn. Actually no matter when I am available at home or after class, I will open my French documents. Luckily, now I can speak French fluently and can communicate with native speakers without any difficulties. I feel a sense of great achievements. During the process of learning, I also encountered many difficulties. It's very tough to start learning a new language, especially the pronunciation part. As we all know, the way of French pronunciation is very different from English, let alone Chinese, so I always turned to Miss Isabelle and she always helped me address my problems in time. I'm very grateful to her.You may wonder why I like this subject most, or why I chose French rather than other languages. I guess this may be the result of my talent in languages, not other subject like the difficult math. Beside, I consider language a medium of communication. If I know the language, I don't need to rely on the translator or interpreter and I can get the first hand information. Additionally,I plan to travel to the romantic nation France to experience the French style romance when I finish my degree. Last but not least, I consider French is helpful for me to find a job after graduation.口语相关的互动讨论讨论话题：邀请同学参加聚会A: Hi, Lisa, long time no see. How is everything going?B: Not bad.
