2014年12月全国大学英语四级口语考试真题及原文

2015年⼤学英语四级⼝语马上就要考试了，以下是整理的《2014年12⽉全国⼤学英语四级⼝语考试真题及原⽂》，希望对考⽣有所帮助！[A] Young graduates are in debt, out of work and on their parents' couches. People in their 30s and 40s can't afford to buy homes or have children. Retirees are earning near-zero interest on their savings.[B] In the current listless (缺乏活⼒的) economy, every generation has a claim to having been most injured. But the Labor Department's latest jobs snapshot and other recent data reports present a strong case for crowning baby boomers (⼆战后⽣育⾼峰期出⽣的⼈) as the greatest victims of the recession and its dreadful consequences.[C] These Americans in their 50s and early 60s — those near retirement age who do not yet have access to Medicare and Social Security — have lost the most earnings power of any age group, with their household incomes 10 percent below what they made when the recovery began three years ago, according to Sentier Research, a data analysis company. Their retirement savings and home values fell sharply at the worst possible time: just before they needed to cash out. They are supporting both aged parents and unemployed young-adult children, earning them the unlucky nickname "Generation Squeeze."[D] New research suggests that they may die sooner, because their health, income security and mental well-being were battered (重创) by recession at a crucial time in their lives. A recent study by economists at Wellesley College found that people who lost their jobs in the few years before becoming qualified for Social Security lost up to three years from their life expectancy (预期寿命), largely because they no longer had access to affordable health care.[E] Unemployment rates for Americans nearing retirement are far lower than those for young people, who are recently out of school, with fewer skills and a shorter work history. But once out of a job, older workers have a much harder time finding another one. Over the last year, the average duration of unemployment for older people was 53 weeks, compared with 19 weeks for teenagers, according to the Labor Department's jobs report released on Friday.[F] The lengthy process is partly because older workers are more likely to have been laid off from industries that are downsizing, like manufacturing. Compared with the rest of the population, older people are also more likely to own their own homes and be less mobile than renters, who can move to new job markets.[G] Older workers are more likely to have a disability of some sort, perhaps limiting the range of jobs that offer realistic choices. They may also be less inclined, at least initially, to take jobs that pay far less than their old positions.[H] Displaced boomers also believe they are victims of age discrimination, because employers can easily find a young, energetic worker who will accept lower pay and who can potentially stick around for decades rather than a few years.[I] In a survey by the center of older workers who were laid off during the recession, just one in six had found another job, and half of that group had accepted pay cuts. Fourteen percent of the re-employed said the pay in their new job was less than half what they earned in their previous job. "I just say to myself: 'Why me? What have I done to deserve this?' " said John Agati, 56, of Norwalk, Conn., whose last full-time job, as a merchandise buyer and product developer, ended four years ago when his employer went out of business. That position paid $90,000, and his rsum lists stints at companies like American Express, Disney and USA Networks. Since being laid off, though, he has worked a series of part-time, low-wage, temporary positions, including selling shoes at Lord & Taylor and making sales calls for a limo company.[J] The last few years have taken a toll not only on his family's finances, but also on his feelings of self-worth. "You just get sad," Mr. Agati said. "I see people getting up in the morning, going out to their careers and going home. I just wish I was doing that. Some people don't like their jobs, or they have problems with their jobs, but at least they're working. I just wish I was in their shoes." He said he cannot afford to go back to school, as many younger people without jobs have done. Even if he could afford it, economists say it is unclear whether older workers like him benefit much from more education.[K] "It just doesn't make sense to offer retraining for people 55 and older," said Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor at the University of Texas in Austin. "Discrimination by age, long-term unemployment, the fact that they're now at the end of the hiring queue, the lack of time horizon just does not make it sensible to invest in them."[L] Many displaced older workers are taking this message to heart and leaving the labor force entirely. The share of older people applying for Social Security early spiked during the recession as people sought whatever income they could find. The penalty they will pay is permanent, as retirees who take benefits at age 62 will receive 30 percent less in each month's check for the rest of their lives than they would if they had waited until full retirement age (66 for those born after 1942).Those not yet eligible for Social Security are increasingly applying for another, comparable kind of income support that often goes to people who expect never to work again: disability benefits. More than one in eight people in their late 50s is now on some form of federal disability insurance program, according to Mark Duggan, chairman of the department of business economics and public policy at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.The very oldest Americans, of course, were battered by some of the same ill winds that tormented those now nearingretirement, but at least the most senior were cushioned by a more readily available social safety net. More important, in a statistical twist, they may have actually benefited from the financial crisis in the most fundamental way: prolonged lives. Death rates for people over 65 have historically fallen during recessions, according to a November 2011 study by economists at the University of California, Davis. Why? The researchers argue that weak job markets push more workers into accepting relatively undesirable work at nursing homes, leading to better care for residents.。

He w as pale and disfigured and looked sick to death, which he probably was: obesity(肥胖的)leads to many na sty ways of dying. Looking around the carriage, I saw quite a few people like him, including a couple o f fatty children with swollen checks pressing against their eyes. These people are part of what is without exaggeration an epidemic(流行病)of obesity.[B] But it is quite unnecessary: there is a simple idea- far from new- that could spare millions of such people a lifetime of chronic(长期的)ill health, and at the same time save the National Health Service(NHS) at least ￡14 billion a year in England and Wales. There would, you might think, be considerable public interest in it. This simple idea is that sugar is as good- or as bad- as poison and should be avoided. It i s pure, white and deadly, as Professor John Yudkin described it 40 years ago in a revolutionary book of that name. The subtitle was How Sugar Is Killing Us.[C] In its countless hidden forms, in ready meals, junk food and sweet drinks, sugar leads to addiction (瘾), to hormonal upsets to the appetite, to metabolic(新陈代谢的)malfunctions and obesity and from there to type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)and its many horrible complication. If people really grasped that, they would t ry to kick the habit, particularly as Britain is the “fat man of Europe”. They might even feel driven to support government measures to prevent people from consuming this deadly stuff. Yet so far this idea h as met little but resistance.[D] It is not difficult to imagine the vested interests(既得利益集团)lined up against any sugar control- al l the food and drink manufacturers, processors, promoters and retailers who make such easy pickings out of the magic powers of sugar. Then there are the liberals, with whom I would normally side, who protest that government regulation would be yet another instance of interference in our lives.[E]That is true, but people should realize that you cannot have a welfare state without a nanny state(保姆国家), to some degree. If we are all to be responsible for one another’s health insurance, through socia lized medicine, then we are all closely involved in one another’s health, including everyone’s eating and drinking. That has already been admitted, finally, with smoking. But it has yet to be admitted with overe ating, even though one in four adults in this country is obese and that number is predicted to double by the year 2050.Quite apart from anything else, obesity will cripple the NHS.[F]Recently, though, there have been signs that the medical establishment is trying to sound the alarm. L ast month the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges(AMRC)published a report saying that obesity is the gr eatest public health issue affecting the UK and urging government to do something.[G]The report offers 10 recommendations, of which the first is imposing a tax of 20 percent on sugary drinks for at least a year, on top of the existing 20 percent value-added tax. That at least would be an e xcellent start. The amounts of sugar in soft drinks are horrifying, and turn straight to fat. As Professor T erence Stephenson, head of the AMRC, has said, sugary soft drinks are “the ultimate bad food. You are j ust consuming neat sugar. Your body didn’t evolve to handle this kind of thing.”[H]Precisely. The risks of eating too much fat or salt(which are very different)pale into insignificant com pared with the harm done by sugar. And it is everywhere.[I]It is difficult to buy anything in a supermarket, other than plain, unprepared meat, fish or vegetables, that doesn’t have a large amount of sugar in it. This has come about because the prevailing scientific vie ws of the 1960s and 1970s ignored the evidence about sugar, and instead saw fat as the really serious ris k, both to the heart and other organs, as well as the cause of obesity.[J]The fashion was to avoid fat. But finding that food with much of its fat removed is not very appetizi ng, food producers turned to sugar as a magic alternative flavor enhancer, often in the forms of syrups(糖浆)that had recently been developed from corn, and put it generously into most prepared foods and soft d rinks.[K]This stuff is not just fattening. It is addictive. It interferes with the body’s metabolism, possibly via t he activity of an appetite-controlling hormone. There’s plenty of evidence for this, for those who will acc ept the truth.[L]Theoretically, people ought to make “healthy choices”and avoid overeating. But sugar additives are n ot easy to identify and are hard to avoid. So the snacking, over-drinking and over eating that makes peop le fat is not really their own fault: obesity is in large part something that is being done to them. It shoul d be stopped, or rather the government should stop it.[M]Going round my local supermarket, I am constantly astonished that it is still legal to sell all the pois ons stacked high on the shelves. The problem is that they are worse than useless. They are poisonous. T hey are known to be addictive. They are known to make people obese. And giving small children sweet drinks or bottles of fake juice all day long is nothing less than child abuse.[N]Clearly, the sale of such stuff ought to be illegal. I hate to think of yet more government regulation. But a bit of tax on sweet soda and a little more health education, a bit of cooking in schools and bann ing vending machines(自动售货机)here and there —as suggested try the AMRC report —is not going t o achieve very much. Labelling is quite inadequate. What is needed is legislation banning high levels of sugary syrups used in foods and drinks.[O]In June 2012, the then minister for public health said the government was not scared of the food ind ustry and had not ruled out legislation, because of the costs of obesity to the NHS. However, nothing has happened yet. Why not have another Jammie Dodger biscuit and forget about it.46、Avoiding over-consumption of sugar can improve people’s health as well as save medical expenses.47、Laws should be passed to make it illegal to produce overly sweet foods or drinks.48、Giving small children sweet juices to drink all the time is equal to child abuse.59、Looking around, the author found obesity quite widespread.50、The number of obese people is expected to increase quickly in the next few decades.51、If people really understood the horrible consequences of sugary foods and drinks, they would support government measures against sugar consumption.52、It would be a very good beginning wo improve an additional tax on sugary drinks.53、The government has not yet taken any action to regulate sugar consumption although it indicated its i ntention to do so some time ago.54、Sugar is far more harmful to health than fat and salt.55、Consumers of sweet foods are not really to blame because they cannot tell what food is sugary.Section CDirections：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinish ed statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D). You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centr e.The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, compar able in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other inst antly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous im pacts has only just begun.“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transfor mations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,”Schmidt a nd Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lac k Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one m ajor shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these weeping changes.In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes —and more imp ortantly predicts —how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one p hysical, and one virtual.At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.”By using this concep t as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy (对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and h is co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and da ngers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal p rivacy and state surveillance(监视).56、In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegra ph?A.It transforms human history.B.It facilitates daily communication.C.It is adopted by all humanity.D.It revolutionizes people's thinking.57、How do Schmidt and Cohen describe the effects of the Internet?A.They are immeasurable.B.They are worldwide.C.They are unpredictable.D.They are contaminating.58、In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?A.It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.B.It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.C.It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses.D.It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.59、What will the future be like when everybody gets online?A.People will be living in two different realities.B.People will have equal access to information.C.People don’t have to travel to see the world.D.People don’t have to communicate face to face.60、What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age?A.They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet.B.They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution.C.They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world.D.They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.In 1950, a young man would have found it much easier than it is today to get and keep a job in the a uto industry. And in that year the average autoworker could meet monthly mortgage(抵押贷款)payments o n an average home with just 13.4 percent of his take-home pay. Today a similar mortgage would claim more than twice that share of his monthly eamings.Other members of the autoworker’s family, however might be less inclined to tried the present for the p ast. His retired parents would certainly have had less economic security back then. Through-out much of t he 1960s,more than a quarter of men and women and women age 65 and older lived below the poverty l evel, compared to less than 10 percent in 2010.In most stales, his wife could not have taken out a loan or a card in her own name. In 42 states, a ho memaker had no legal claim on the earnings of her husband. And nowhere did a wife have legal protecti on against family violence.Most black workers would not want to return to a time when, on average they earned 40 percent less t han their white counterparts(职位相当的人),white racially restrictive agreements largely prevented them fro m buying into the suburban neighborhoods being built for white working –class families.Today, new problems have emerged in the process of resolving old ones, but the solution is not to go ba ck to the past. Some people may long for an era when divorce was still hard to come by. The spread of no -fault divorce has reduced the bargaining power of whichever spouse is more interested in continuing the relationship.

说明：只有Unit1~8单元，有的单元只有部分对话，没有全写完。

望选择性的择取，O(∩_∩)O谢谢！Unit11.the trouble of fameWe find that famous people always rocket into the spotlight for fame.They also pay for it when they take possession of much.Because they have trouble of fame.As a famous person,they're required to keep themselves as great as their worshipping fans suggest.They make desperate attempts to gain what they want.But they can't do anything free when they really want to.There are several reasens for the trouble of fame.First,they must know basical common sense.Second,they can't touch those sensitive(敏感的）things.Especially personal sentiment.Third,they should have a good temper even others point out their shortcomings.What's more,they need to deal with their family relationship2 The ideas people have about meEveryone to the people around him，will have different views about him. Even if I just pass a stranger, at a store or our library, I'll have a idea about him. Maybe, he looks so smart or looks so handsome. Just like this, everyone around me also have some ideas about me.But, these are not in the know, it’s just a simple first impression. Everyone to some of your idea, need to contact with you, Only in these way, can they have more accurate understanding about you. Actually, I have no idea what people think of me right now. I have no idea what my mom think of me, I have no idea what my teacher think of me, also, I have no idea what my roommate think of me.Once upon a time, my friends say that I'm a elusive person, sometimes I will be good ,I will do something you want for you, that time , you will think I’m your best friend in the world. But sometimes I would not pay attention to you, no matter what you are talking about or what you are suffering.Well, Indeed, I don't like this view, because a lot of things I can only to bear by myself, a lot of people can’t understand something what I have done. They need the reason I give. Because of this, they can judge me only according to their own ideas and what they have seen or what they have heard.When I'm in love, I don’t like to quarrel with my girlfriend, but we always do, at that time she will say to others ,speak ill of me. With a kind of subjective emotion . So, many people will think I'm a bad boy. Or I’m a bad man. But actually, I don't like to with her friend who has been told, because there is no need to explain what. They don’t know what really happen between us.To sum up, I gonna say, Maybe Yesterday you thought you have had a wrong impression on me, today you would wrong again, I will see you tomorrow would be wrong the third time. I mean, don’t judge your friend just by what you seen or what you heard. I don't care what people how to see me in my age, because I do a belief ,one day, they will understand me, no matter what I have done. If you are my friends, you will know that. That’s all, thank you for your listening!Unit21 An original person in my life.2.Why being original is importantA:Today I have seen how my friend frame someone to get the higer position, so that I must sign with emotion that my friend has changed a lot.B:Yes, so I have a question that why when people enter into society will change their nature? Will become someone they don’t like before?C:Everyone has their desire in their hearts, if there were some lure in front of them what can help them to make their dreams come true, most of them will be shaked.D:Yeah, I agree with you.So nowadays we face with the question that how being original or keep the pure soul.Now we must know that why being original is important.A:Though many people say that one drop of fame will likely contaminate the entire well of a man's soul, and many people want to get a fame, a authority, a high statue, so it’s impossible that keep one’s soul pure or being original.But we must know that if everyone can being original, the world will be fine, the life will be tuneful.So being original is important. B:Yes,desire is horrible,it takes you out of yourself.As a child, you can play with your friends at will, do everything what you want to do without considering aftermath. But after you or others changed, when you get along with them, you maybe think that if they have some aims or whether they utilize you. You couldn’t be at will, even you will guard against them.C: I also think that, maybe when he or she get the fame, make their dreams come true,but when they look around, they will find that they are alone, no one stand by them, because on the way they come true their dreams, they have threw down theirs friendship and so on just like leaving rubbish. So when someone do something for the sake of themselves, they will find they lose more beyond they can image.D: Yes, the person who achieves success often discovers that it does more harm than good. So instead of trying so hard to achieve success, try to be happy with who you are and what you do. Try to do work that you can be proud of. Maybe you won't be come true your dreams in your ownlifetime, but you may gain more than successed. So being original is important.Unit31 The most difficult situation I have ever experiencedA:Now we having a discuss about the most difficult situation I have ever experienced. In one’s life, there are one or more unforgettable events. Can you tell me the most difficult situation you have ever experienced?B:What make me unforgettable is college entrance examination, I will remember those days forever.C:Yse, college entrance examination is unforgettable, but I think the experienced I visit the World Expo is more unforgettable.D:What make me unforgettable is the earthdin in Wenchuan, I still remember the time the disaster happened,it is shocking our hearts forever.

To make myself better equipped in my field of study I have learned several computer languages to communicate with the computer.

Because modern industrialized society need computers to perform a wide range of tasks, I think a general knowledge of such wonderful machines is quite necessary for most of us.2 .The reason why a country should invest in information technology A:Do you use compuer everyday?B:Yes,nowadays we can’t live without the computer,telephone.A:So as our country.Today information techonology has penetrated almost every aspects of society.It is very important for a country to invest in information technology.B: I agree with you.

2014年11月英语四级口语考试真题及参考答案

以下是⽆忧考整理的《2014年11⽉英语四级⼝语考试真题及参考答案》，希望对2015年要考英语四级⼝语的考⽣有所帮助！　1. Are you satisfied with your present accommodations? Give your reasons. What kind of accommodations would you like to have? From my point view, I’m quite satisfied with our accommodation. My dormitory room faces south and has a lot of sunshine in fine weather. It also has a very good view of the garden in front of the building and the mountains in the distance. It makes me feel good when I look the lovely grass, flowers and trees in the garden. The color of the mountains changes with different seasons and in different weather. I really enjoy watching the view from my room. But there are some aspects need to be improved. Above all, our dormitory is not big enough. When everybody is in the room, there simply is not enough space for us to move around. And with six people in it, there isn’t much privacy for anyone. We even don’t have a washroom in it .So it’s not convenient for us, especially in winter and summer. And the water and electricity supply are usually cut off for some unclear reasons. Everyday we have to go to bed before half past ten. That’ too early! S o we are restricted to do what we need to do after ten thirty. In a word, our canteens are quite good. First of all, the food is quite cheap and the services meet most of our needs. But some canteens are so small that have to wait in line to get our food. In my opinion, a good student apartment should have a relatively large living room and three or four small single bedrooms. This design will provide enough space for meetings and gatherings while at the same time give each student his or her own room. It should have a washroom and we should have water and electricity supply all day long. And we also can get our food without waiting in line. In my university, students have different types of accommodation depending on their status. Undergraduate students generally share dormitory rooms six to a room, and master’s students four to a room. New apartment houses are also available to students who pay an additional rent. 2. What job do you think is the best for you after you graduate? I think the best job for me is to be a teacher after graduation. When I was a child, I had dreamed to be a high school teacher. Now I can come to Xinyang Normal University to receive further education and I major in Study of History. It looks like that my dream will come true in the near future. As a teacher, I can give what I have learnt to my students, who will make contributions to our society. Thinking about it, I will be very proud of being a teacher. And, what’s more, I can become an actor just on the small platform in the front of the classroom, which will make my life much colorful. And then, what mostly makes me choose to be a teacher is that I can share some new ideas with the young people, and by this way I will be young forever in my mind. 3. What is your most important consideration when looking for a job? Actually, many factors contribute to job satisfaction, such as a high salary, good promotion prospects, pleasant and friendly working atmosphere, suitability for one’s professional talents，and personal interests etc. For many people, money or good promotion prospects may be their most important consideration when looking a job; but as for me, what is important is to do something that I enjoy. I hear stories all the time about people who change their jobs because they realize that they don’t like them after they have started. If you don’t like what you’re doing, you are going to be miserable. You cann’t make the best use of your talents and you will get nowhere in your work. So when choosing a job, I think, we’d better make sure that we know where our interest lies, only by doing so, can we do very well in our work and enjoy our work most.。

Parents Differ from Children in Their Career Choice The question of who should be responsible for planning their career often causes problems for many children. Parents think that they know their children well enough to decide what kind of job suits them. They are afraid that their children are too young to decide their future on their own. However, many children would argue that they should be left free to make their own choices. This is a typical phenomenon especailly in China. Children rely on their parents when they want allowances, but for more important issues they try to be independent.The other aspect of career choice is that parents and their children are often different in their opinions of the ideal profession. Parents would prefer children to choose some professions that are stable and could bring prestige and economic benefits. But some children would rather choose professions that are challenging and require independent and creative thinking.The Hazards of Movie-goingAlthough I love movies, I’ve found that there are drawbacks to movie-going. One problem is just the inconvenience of it all. It can take me long time to drive to the theater and find a parking spot. When you got stuck in traffic jam during a rush hour, you may even miss the beginning of a movie. Another problem is my lack of self-control at thetheater. I often stuff myself with unhealthy calorie-laden snacks for the limited choices. If you I want to go to the restroom, I can’t pause the movie just as what I do to fetch a cup of tea when I watch TV at home. Though the stereo sound effects are much better, there is a worst problem, which is with some of the other movie-goers. Kids run up and down the aisle. It’s noisy and messy in the theater. All in all, I would rather stay home and watch TV comfortably.different forms of exercises to suit different tastes There are many different forms of exercises to suit different tastes. For example, those who enjoy competitive sports may take up ball games, such as football, basketball. They can run and push each other on the fields or playgrounds. For these games you have to be very energetic. For another example, if they prefer to exercise alone, they can have a run or take a walk in the morning or in the evening. Also they can take Yoga, Taichi or other body training exercise. And if some likes to play Go games, he can always play on computer or mobile phone agianst the virtual player. It is also a kind of exercise of your brain. Besides, people can go swimming in the summer and go skating in the winter. In short, no matter what their interests are, people can always find more than one sports that are suitable to them.Tv, a blessing or a curseNowadays television plays such an important role in people’s life that watching TV has become part of people’s life in many familie s. Is TV a blessing or a curse? Obviously, television, like anything else, has more than one faces. As is known to us, television presents a vivid and colorful world for people. Through TV, people can learn what is happening across the world and are better informed of the latest development in science and technology. TV broadens people’s scope of knowledge. In this sense, TV is a blessing. However, television can also be harmful. The rays sent out from TV screen are harmful to people. Furthermore, attached by their favorite programs, many people tend to watch TV too often or for a long time. And as a result, their studies, and work may be neglected. Especially, if children stay up too late at night watching TV, they will feel sleepy in class the next day, and thus they will fall behind in their studies.We Shouldn't Totally Turn to the InternetNowadays, Internet has become an indispensable part in our life, and we use it for various purposes, such as searching useful information and chatting online. However, now more and more people turn to the Internet for help whenever they have trouble in finding solutions to their problems, and this phenomenon has aroused the public's attention.Relying on the Internet to solve all our difficulties can have bad impacts on us. On one hand, since we can always settle the troubles by searching solutions online, we can become very lazy and don't bother to think up answers by ourselves, which can hinder the development of creative thinking. On the other hand, the answers online may be inaccurate or wrong. If we use them without thinking the credibility of them, we may make serious mistakes someday.As far as I'm concerned, we shouldn't completely depend on the Internet to settle problems. When we come across some difficulties, we’d better try our best to find possible solutions. If we make great efforts and still can't come up with an answer, then we can surf online to search solutions. But we should question the correctness of these answers before we adopt them.口语考试在5月23日至27日进行。
