武汉理工英语口语考试模拟题
1. Conventional wisdom holds that traditional methods like lecturing and memorization are old-fashioned while projects and collaborati ve learning are applauded. What’s your view?I think each has its own advantages and disadvantages.On one hand, Traditional methods like lecturing and memorization are irreplaceable. In thousands of years of cultural heritage in China, teaching and memory have always been the main way. When we are learning basic knowledge and theoretical knowledge, such as chemistry, physics and so on, we need teachers to teach and explain. We need to communicate with teachers to understand the knowledge. At the same time, we need do a lot of training and memory to better apply knowledge.On the other hand, project and cooperative learning are popular in recent days. This is enough to show that it does have some advantages. This way enables people to make the best of everything and give full play to their advantages. It can also effectively learn the strengths of others and improve their own shortcomings faster and better. At the same time, when students have acquired a certain knowledge, Projects and collaborative learning are good ways to combine theory and practice and achieve a deeper level of learning.From what has been discussed above, we should not abandon the advantages of the past learning methods. Only by combining the advantages of the new era learning methods with those of the past can we better adapt to the pace of modern learning.2. Teachers are suggested not to be concerned about the negative effects of picking winners and losers. Do you think that failure will traumatize students, sapping them of self-esteem?I think this situation varies from person to person. Failure for a strong-willed person will motivate him to move on, while failure for a weak-willed person may hurt his self-esteem. But anyway, I think life without failure is imperfect life, and people can become more mature only through failure.For teachers, negative effects should be avoided as much as possible. After all, it is impossible to know the attitude of all students towards difficulties. Some students who sap self-esteem will lose interest in learning. But some students can do better.From what has been discussed above,it can be seen that self-esteem is the source of student's enterprising power, so educators love students and protect students. Self-esteem is especially important to cultivate students' self-esteem. Teachers should change their teaching ways to different students. Only in this way can benefit the greatest number of students.3. The American Urban Dictionary, a popular online slang dictionary, includes several Chinese buzzwords, such as no zuo no die. Some people think it is a major victory for Chinglish speakers. Do you agree?I agree with this point. With the development of China, China's economic and cultural strength is gettingstronger and stronger, so that foreign scholars must pay attention to our country's culture. Chinese culture has an increasing impact on a global scale. So Chinese buzzwords are included in foreign dictionary is a major victory for Chinglish speakers.At the same time, I think this phenomenon is a process of integration of world cultures. With the change of the times, the language also changes. Some Chinese can’t be explained by English well, so there will appear new English words to depict the new Chinese words. Some commonly used Chinese adding to the dictionary can better improve people's expression ability.From what has been discussed above, I believe that national culture and economic strength are linked, not isolated. The prosperity of a country's culture cannot be separated from the support of economic prosperity. Today, the economic strength of our motherland is rising, so the status of Chinese culture in the world has been improved, and Chinese language has been accepted by more people.4. Why does a good dictionary have to take special care over common words instead of rare words? Illustrate your point with examples.Because common words are used very frequently, while rare words are rarely used in life. Good dictionaries focus on common words, which can well meet the needs of users, and are more widely used in life. If a commonly used word is not found in the dictionary or is incorrectly explained, this dictionary is definitely not a good dictionary.For example, compare a rare word with a common word. Rare words are used by very few people, while common words are used by most people. The function of a dictionary is to meet the needs of the majority of users, not to be designed for the minority. Therefore, a good dictionary will definitely pay more attention to the usage of common words, meet the needs of most users, and give full play to the role of the dictionary.From what has been discussed above, because common words are used in a high frequency and used by the large number of people. So a good dictionary is more concerned with common words.5.Many countries in the world have a mature film rating system, while there is no film rating system in China mainland. Do you think film rating system has more advantages or disadvantages? Illustrate your point.From my point of view, film rating system has both advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand, film rating system can effectively protect physical and mental health of teenagers. For example, children are not suggested to watch movies which include quantities of terror and violence scenes. What’s more, it is convenient for management, which can promote the development of the film industry.On the other hand, I think film rating system has more disadvantages. Everyone sees things differently. When evaluating a movie, we will carry emotional judgments. We cannot guarantee that everyone is rational. Maybe this movie is good, but I just do not like it and the rating is naturally unreal. Then the rating system isa mistake to a certain extent.From what has been discussed above, film classification has both advantages and disadvantages. When deciding whether to have a film classification, the pros and cons should be weighed.5. Some people prefer western films, thinking that they are more worth watching than Chinese films, while others like Chinese films better. What is your opinion? Illustrate your points.In my opinion, there is no comparison between Chinese films and western films. Different people have different preferences. For some people who enjoy western films, they may prefer pop culture and stunning visual effect. But for some people who likes Chinese films, they may prefer traditional culture.The film is used to communicate, is the author expresses his inner thoughts, the way to the world view. Foreign films and Chinese films may form a difference, but human nature is common. China's films also have bright spots, and foreign films also have rotten pieces.From what has been discussed above, for both western films and Chinese films, we should see their advantages and disadvantages. We should not praise one side while belittling another side.6. Some people say "If there was an experiment on Beethoven’s music, there would be the Beethoven Effect instead of the Mozart Effect. Do you believe so? Why or why not?“I think the Beethoven effect may exist, but it will not replace the Mozart effect. The music of Mozart and Beethoven has its own characteristics. Mozart's music can make the rough and hard things in our hearts soft, Beethoven's music can make the weak things in our hearts strong. But in general the influence of music on people is subtle.The "Mozart effect" refers not only to Mozart's music, but to music that has the same or similar musical structure. The Mozart effect can trigger positive emotions such as joy and pleasure, which in turn can boost cognitive processing.Beethoven music has its own characteristics, If there was an experiment on Beethoven’s music, it may also have a musical effect. Not just these two kinds of music, any kind of music can have a subtle effect on people. If we often listen to one kind of music, it will have a corresponding effect on us.7. Nowadays anyone can post information on the internet even if it is incorrect. As a result, most information we read is inaccurate." To what extent do you agree or disagree?I think some of the information we read is wrong. Since anyone can publish information on the Internet, as a result, most information we read is inaccurate. When we find the information we need, we may find some wrong information.This phenomenon is because no one verifies the correctness of these views and rejects the wrong ones. So we should have our own view when surfing the internet. We should learn to distinguish the true and falseinformation. We can use some official website to find information, so as to get the correct information.The Internet brings us a lot of convenience, but it also brings some disadvantages, such as incorrect information. I think we can do something about it. On the one hand, the government can introduce some management laws to regulate people's behavior of releasing information; On the other hand, when we act as publishers of information, we should be responsible for the content we publish and ensure its health and accuracy8. Many people have done a lot of experiments to prove that listening to music can make children smarter while many other scientific data also prove that music study does not make children smarter. Who or which group do you agree with and wdiehy?I agree with that listening to music can make children smarter. Music has a catalytic effect on one's intelligence. It can make people wiser and strengthen people's memory. Appreciating or playing music can strengthen the function of human's mental and nervous system. Visual memory and auditory memory can get exercise, emotional experience also can be strengthened. The person that makes music for a long time, have stronger memory, and is outstanding than normal person.Listening to music is also a kind of leisure, it helps people to combine work and rest, to avoid overwork. When we are tired, listening to music can relieve our tiredness, relieve our mood and improve our enthusiasm for life. Then we can regain the confidence to face life. Being in a good mood stimulates creativity, which makes music listeners smarter9. From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence is progressing rapidly. Will intelligent machines replace us, coexist us, or merge with us?I think AI will live with us. The rise of artificial intelligence has brought a lot of benefits to people. It has improved security and saved labor. For example: face recognition, speech recognition for people's security has played a great role; intelligent robots do heavy and dangerous work for people and so on. But artificial intelligence will not or cannot replace people, it is created by people, so it cannot surpass human beings, it will coexist with us.With the development of people's wisdom, artificial intelligence will also be further developed. It serves people's needs, obeys people's command, and will not surpass or replace people. It will make our life more convenient10 .What does self-reliance mean to you? Do you believe that it is one of the most important things a student could ever learn? What are the possible ways to build it?Self-reliance means relying on one's own strength to get things done.Whether a country or a person wants to pursue development, the most important thing is to adhere to self-reliance and independent innovation. Self-reliance can strengthen our ability to face any difficulties; Self-reliance is not only a spiritual belief, but also a path to action. Self-reliance will help us break the bottleneck of development on our way forward.Self-reliance not only lies in life, but also exists in work and study, we should set up a positive enterprising, hard-working spirit and cultivate good habits, so as to establish the ability of self-reliance.11. Grit, defined as passion and perseverance for long-term goals, is the best predictor of success. Do you agree with the statement? Illustrate your point with examples.I agree with this statement. I think that Grit is important for a person's growth and development. Grit is the foundation of achievement. Success belongs to the people who have grit. They will work to achieve their ideas according to the plan. When encountering difficulties, they never compromise. Their power does increase with the degree of obstruction.For example, our country determined to develop it’s economy. After decades of efforts, our GDP has exceeded 10 trillion dollars, making us the second largest economy, only behind the United States.Yuan longping was determined to study rice to solve China's food problem. After years of experiments, he succeeded in developing hybrid rice. His success has saved the Chinese people from starvation and the world from starvation.12. Among all the principles of Wait Disney’s success which do you value most? Why? What do you think you can learn from Walt Disney? Illustrate your points.Make Everyone's Dreams Come TrueYou Better Believe ItNever a Customer, Always a GuestAll for One and One for All.Dare to Dare.Practice, Practice, PracticeMake Your Elephant FlyCapture the Magic with StoryboardsGive Details Top BillingAmong all the principles of Wait Disney’s success, each principle is the secret of success and is worth learning for us. But I like the forth principle most, which is “All for One and One for All”. It emphasizes the importance of teamwork. Teamwork is seen as a way to cultivate strong loyalty and enthusiasm among employees. It emphasizes that people should help each other and promote each other instead of focusing onself-interest. I can share the fruits of others' labor and thoughts, and I can share mine with others. We are an inseparable whole of mutual benefit.From this we can learn that it is not easy for a company to succeed, it needs the joint efforts of all the members of the company, not only need teamwork, but also need innovation and courage. The principles of the company are also key to the success of the company. It is the philosophy that every employee practices. Only with good principles can employees work hard and achieve success.13. Do you like Disney films? In Passage One Walt Disney has been criticized for its negative social influences. Do you agree with the author? Illustrate your points.Just like many other children, when I was young, I like Disney films very much. Although some authors criticize Disney's negative impact on society, I don't entirely agree with the author. Everything has two sides. There are advantages and disadvantages at the same time. We should not throw away its advantages and only criticize its disadvantages. Although Disney didn’t deal with characters in terms of gender and race, it also brings many positive ideas to children. It allows children to have fun through movies, animations and so on, it teach children to learn about the world and knowledge.It's hard for a company to have the perfect recognition and social impact, and Disney has been a breakthrough in children's entertainment. It is an indispensable part of the life of many American families. In the future, I hope it can reduce the negative impact on society and strive to do better.14. Think of two misunderstandings you experienced when communicating with someone else at work, home or school. Discuss with your partners on the following questions. What seemed to be the main cause of the misunderstandings? How can we avoid being understood in our daily communication?There are many reasons for misunderstanding. But the main reason is not to understand the details or look at the problem more one-sided. For example, during the summer vacation, I was misunderstood by my boyfriend. One evening, a male classmate called to ask me how to do a problem. I talked for a long time because the problem was difficult. Then my boyfriend got angry because he thought I was too close to my classmates.From this little example, we can see that we must learn to look at problems with a calm mind. When we calm down to understand the cause of things, we can look at things more objectively, so there will be no misunderstanding. When we are angry or angry, we need to suppress our emotions and let ourselves see things calmly. This is not only important in dealing with interpersonal relationships, but also plays an important role in dealing with difficulties.What are the benefits of using dictionaries? Please list at least three advantages.Hello, everyone, my name is huang baolian, Nice to meet you. When talking about dictionaries, we are easy to think its function.

But there is no typical image building in Chinese animation.Secondly, In terms of color sense, Disney animation focuses on color matching, while Chinese animation has a single color.Thirdly, Disney animation pays more attention to catering to the audience's preferences than Chinese animation, which is also one of the reasons for the popularity of Disney animation.Forth, In terms of overall effect, Disney films combine digital technology with film technology in order to achieve better effects. Chinese animation uses less digital technology, and generally focuses on entertainment and education.Do you think the love in the film could still be found in today’s world? Why or why not?I think in today's life, we can’t find the love in the movies. The movie comes from life but is higher than life. Most of the love in the movie is unreal. For example, it is almost impossible for the prince to fall in love with Cinderella in reality. So I don't think we can find love in movies in today’s world.Secondly, love in the movie is a beautiful vision in people's hearts, so it is more romantic and legendary than the real love. Considering the love stories around us, whether they are lovers or husband and wife, they all have problems of large and small, and often have conflicts or quarrels. Therefore, fairy-tale love in movies cannot be found in reality.It seems that you have a deep understanding about this problem.。

研究生公共英语口语考试题目及答案
Topics for Discussion1.Does “moving up the economic ladder” mean success? Why or why not? What other things do you thinkcan mean success?No, Many people believe that a large income means success. But in my opinion, that success is more than money, and there are more gauges of success, such as fame, respect, and knowledge.Most people assume that famous people are rich, but that isn’t always true. For example, many scientists are not rich by today’s standards, but they are successful in their fields. Addit ionally, there are many famous statesmen who are not rich. The late premier Zhou En Lai was one. Certainly, no one would say he was not successful.I also believe that being respected by others indicates success. Without the respect, money means little. Fo r example, I once worked in a restaurant. The boss made a very good income, but he wasn’t a nice man. No one ever did work for him willingly. He ordered everyone around, but we didn’t respect him. In contrast, I had an English teacher in high school. He had to take extra jobs to make enough money to support his family. However, we had great respect for him and always listened to what he said. As a result, we were a top class in English. In my opinion, my English teacher was more successful than my boss at the restaurant.Finally, I think one of the most important indicators of success is knowledge. For example, Qian Zhong-Shu, one of the world’s best-known writers, had a broad horizon and profound knowledge. He wrote the best-selling novel A surrounded City, which has been translated into 80 languages and published in almost all parts of the world. In my opinion, he was extremely successful.When we look back in history, there are few people that we remember them because of their rich. Overall, we remember people who did something with their lives. They were influential in their own lives or contributed to society. If history is the ultimate judge of success, then money surely isn’t everything.2.What is your attitude toward the spread of surveillance technology?The surveillance technology is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can bring us the safety and convenience. For example，in the supermarket, the camera can tak e videos to record the people’s behavior. It ensure the safety of the goods and allows people carrying their own bags to go shopping. And the radioes can be an evidence if some cases occur. On the other hand, the abuse of surveillance technology will be a threat to privacy of people. Just like in the ATM, the thief install a microcamera to record the code of credit card, and stole money. And if there are lots of cameras on the street or in a room, it will make people in fear of security and even cause to a panic.In my opinion, the use of the surveillance technology should be under the control of the country and the law. The surveillance of surveillance technology is most important.3.To make the earth a better place to live on, what responsibility should be taken by every one of us?We should live a low-carbon life.The Earth left our so rich energy ,but because of the development of the world industrial economy, the fast increase of population, our living environment is become more and more worse, for example, the resources reduce, water pollution becomes worse.The environment is seriously under threat and it is our responsibility to live a low-carbon lifestyle to protect our planet. Firstly, we should recognize that low-carbon life is not only a kind of life style but also life attitude. Each of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions.Low-carbon life needs everyone’s participation. Secondly, we should develop good habits in our daily lives. For example ,we can ride bicycles instead of driving cars. Also, we should turn off lights when we are not using them. Students should use both sides of the paper in their notebooks. These are just some of the things we can do to live a low-carbon lifestyle.We only have one planet and we must do all act now to save it from further pollution●Reducing the pollution and saving the resources,●Dealing with the rubbish, especially some electronic products like used batteries，mobilephone,computer and so on. There are some harmful metals in them, which will damage to the soil and water.●Another way to reduce the pollution is selecting a green way to travel,in order to decrease the car’snumber on the road and reduce the air pollution.Saving the resources require us to use recyclable things, do not waste energy and papers.4.What might be the benefits and risks of plastic surgeries in modern society? Would you try on any ofthem? Why or why not? [医]double-fold eyelids●The first benenfit of plastic surgeries is to improve someone’s appearance and mental outlook. A goodlook will make someone brave and confident to face the difficulties and challenges. Another benefit is that the surgeries can heal the damage of disfigured people suffering a fire or car accident. The surgeries can help them to recover their appearance, and send them to the normal life.●But all the surgeries have their risks, and having the plastics surgeries doesn’t mean that you canbecome beautiful. Sometimes it will make an unnatural and sick appearance. What’s worse, sometimesthe failure of the surgeries cause the complications, leaving a scar in the skin or even leading to death.●In my opinion, ordinary people don’t need the plastic surgeries.
