很多大学生在面对大学英语四六级口语考试时都会有一定的压力，这是因为之前基本没有经历过口语考试。
随着近年教育政策的改革，口语能力越来越重要，也有越来越多的人参加英语口语考试。
那么我们该如何顺利度过这次考试呢，从真题入手研究是一个不错的方法。
下面为各位考生分享了2019年11月英语四、六级口语考试中自我陈述部分的一些真题，希望对大家有所帮助。
2019年11月四级口语自我陈述真题1.The importance of positive thinking积极的重要性With the ever-quickening pace of life and increasing fierce competition, it is universally acknowledged that a growing number of undergraduates have become lazy and passive. It has been one of the most common thing in our daily life and on campus. However, we may encounter with different difficulties and failures everywhere. It is advisable for us to realize that being positive is the key to success, which gives meaning to our life. Regardless of situations, an positive person never loses his hope, as it’s hope that paves the ways for gaining self-confidence. If you ask me the attitude towards being positive,I am eager to convey that positive attitude is the essential part for me to become stronger. One with positive attitude never fails to success.Firstly, the people possessing positive attitude could obtain numerous opportunities in the competition and are more likely to establish themselves intheir prospective careers. It is at these critical times that the attitude of being active, toward difficulty and life in general, eventually determines whether he can turn failure into victory. Once a person stop keeping the attitude of being positive, he can hardly maintain his past glory and survive in this competitive world.A positive person is he or she who never gets discouraged by any state of affairs, but looks at all the factors more positively that in turn leads him or her to bring improvements. He is a person who considers that whatever be the area of trouble, there may be positive or alternative ways through which he can come out from various difficult situations courageously.Regardless of situations, a positive person never loses his hope, as it's hope that paves the ways for gaining self-confidence. In this way, both optimism and confidence lead to achievements. Hardly ever you might have seen negative people who are successful or happy in their life. Rather, they are seen finding difficulties and complaining about their lives always. Therefore, one should have a positive approach in life, rather than, pessimistic. As long as a person stays positive, he remains energetic to deal with complicated situations in a successful manner.On should know the fact that without hope and confidence, nothing can be achieved. So, being positive is as important as making yourself confident, as itpromotes positivity which results in finding different solutions against various hindrances to success.2.The importance of training skilled workers员工技能培训的重要性Confronted with the ever more severe competition in the market, every ambitious enterprise cannot put too much emphasis on skill training for workers. That is because among all the resources a firm possesses, employees, especially those with high quality are the most valuable ones. The more competent the staff is, the stronger a company would be. Besides, skill training could improve the work efficiency of workers, and thus enhance the productivity of the whole company, saving cost and increasing profits. What’s more, with the rapid development of various new technologies, it takes more wits to learn and grasp those new tools to apply them to daily work. And that needs more skillful workers to accomplish, so skill training for workers can not be ignored by any vigorous entrepreneur.3.The effective way to combat distraction如何克服注意力分散Nowadays, distraction has become an extremely hot topic among not only adults but also youngsters. How to overcome distraction? The reasons accounting for it should be put forward in advance? Among the shaping factors, Iwould single out the three ones, such as, lack of schedule, doing less in more time, and keeping brains focused all the time.Hence, there are a number of approaches to reversing distraction and mastering deep work, for example, developing a daily ritual, and setting a specific task. Whichever approach, the key is to determine the length of focus time and stick to it. Firstly, I would like to recommend “deep scheduling”to combat constant interruptions and get more done in less time. Deep work should be scheduled for roughly a week or a month and once the date comes, you should protect the time without doing unrelated things. Secondly, another approach to getting more done in less time without distraction is to rethink how you priorities your day, and especially make a to-do list. Thirdly, you should try to idle your brains because it is indispensable to your brain to have a rest. When your brains switch between being focused and unfocused on a task, they tend to be more efficient.4.The importance of interpersonal skills社交技能的重要性Among all the important skills of human beings, social skills are regarded as the most important. In an information age, communication with others in allwalks of life plays an important role. No wonder that many students are deliberately working on their social skills.Common sense has told us that those who have successful love affairs usually possess excellent social skills. They are good at promoting an easy-going relation with their partners, which naturally result in a romantic affair. The same is true for family life. Good social skills are essential to keep family member on good terms with each other, bringing about a happy family life. Secondly, statistics show that one’s career success depends heavily on his or her social skills. Professional skills are necessary, but without good social skills, a good teamwork is hardly imaginable, which would undoubtedly hinder the full play of professional skills. Examples are not rarely seen from people who are talented and have reached high level of academic development, but have finally come to nothing due to their poor social skills.In conclusion, if we are to lead a happy life and succeed in career, we must improve ourselves in such social skills as the skill in communicating on a feeling level, the skill in developing and using interpersonal relations and so on.5.The benefits of doing exercises运动的好处Just as an old proverb says, happiness lies first of all in health. Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have but one cannot take good health for granted. It is vital to realize that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. Additionally, everyone hopes to enjoy more happiness in the world. Our body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind “fuel”, especially in this world full of fierce competitions. Firstly, doing more exercise is beneficial to build our bodies. It helps coordinate the different parts of our bodies when we have sports. Just like smiling, exercise can benefit our organs, which could let the heart beat faster than usual, and then helps enlarge the blood vessels to protect us from heart attacks. Besides, exercise can also contribute to improving our mood. When you do exercise, you move a lot, and you have to be more active. It helps you become more optimistic. What’s more, through doing exercise, we can have many chances to make friends who have common interest with us. In a word, exercise is helpful, important and absolutely necessary.6.The importance of international exchange国际学习交流的重要性International exchange plays a significant role in education. For students, studying in a foreign university is a very beneficial experience for their personal development. They can be exposed to a whole new cultural environment and enjoy the opportunity to learn from world-renowned scholars and professors. Immersed in the English-speaking environment, students’language abilitywould also see a giant leap. The efforts trying to be accustomed to the new life would be a great treasure for the rest of their life. As for universities and colleges, supporting international exchange programs is a good way to enhance the cultural diversity inside the campus and create a more vigorous academic atmosphere. In a word, international exchange is both meaningful to students and institutes of higher education.7.The importance of inner beauty内在美的重要性Beauty has ever been a perpetual and eternal topic in lives among not only women but also men. Everyone holds the awareness of being beautiful, which is a nature of human being. As far as we know, beauty is usually divided into two aspects, that is, external beauty and inner beauty. The former normally indicates appearance, from clothes, making-up and physical feature to bags and decorations. Therefore, there come diversified methods for women and men to pursuit external beauty, which in their mind posts great influences on their lives. By contrast, the latter implies good virtues of a person, such as, kindness, confidence, character, honesty and so on. From my perspective, inner beauty plays a more important role in our daily lives. A good virtue will foster strong effects on people around, make us a popular person and easily tackle problems. Take confidence for example, the spirit of confidence can generate great power to cope with difficulties and harshness, assume frustration and pressure, andtherefore make it easy for people to achieve successes. Inner beauty is eternal and will become increasingly positive and stable in people mind, which is indispensability in the whole life. Hence, it is necessary for everyone to cultivate inner beauty so as to live a promising and colourful life.8.The importance of sharing分享的重要性Generally, sharing refers to giving others what you own for free, aiming to make them live better physically or mentally obtain the same delight you get. To be specific, sharing can occur in our daily trivial affairs. And it is of great importance to our life, which can be stated as follows.First, sharing can help us to make more friends in daily study and work. When we first step into the college gate, we may have come to an unfamiliar city and don’t know anyone. We can’t meet and talk with our childhood friends directly as before. At this time, we can make acquaintance with new friends by simply start sharing some delicious food with our roommates or other things. Secondly, through sharing, we can also broaden our vision, for example, learning instant message or news in more rapid way. Being in the era of technology, the sharing can be easily achieved by all kinds of online chatting tools. Last but not least, sharing can satisfy our spiritual needs and bring the pleasure which sometimes cannot be bought by money. For example, when we have some old articles orcloses which we don’t like any more, we can donate them to those in need. This behaviour of charity is typical of sharing.In summary, sharing is both a manifestation of our trust in the process of interpersonal communication and a bridge to help further enhance the friendship.9.The role of pets in the family动物在家庭的角色As for the role of pets in our family, psychologists have conducted a series of experiments to determine the role that pets play in improving happiness in our daily life. As the competition becomes more and more fierce, people always shoulder great pressure and endure different difficulties and dilemmas. An increasing number of people choose to feed pets as a better way to diffuse pressure, which could contribute to the harmonious family atmosphere. Compared with those without pets, pets owners could receive as much support from their pets as they did family members. What’s more, we, only-child generation, always attach more importance to study and work, neglecting the feeling and emotion of the elder, which does exert harmful influence on the relationship between family members. With the company of pets, the elder could enjoy more joy and avoid the feeling of being lonely. With the coming of boom in aging population, the Chinese have been experiencing a pet boom in recentyears and it can be predicted that the role of pets in family will become more and more vital.10.How to spend leisure time如何度过闲暇时间As a student, I have relatively more leisure time. As a girl/boy who always feels like full of energy, I have many ways to make the best of the spare time. Since I like being with my friends, I would call three or four friends to my home to have a meal together and play some electronic sports. If I am alone, sometimes I would to go to gym to work out. I am obsessed with the thrill exercise brings to me. I can also be a quiet guy. I like watching classic American movies. The music, the beautiful natural scenes seem have a special charm to me which could make me forget the passing of time.2019年11月六级口语自我陈述真题1.Ways to be trusted by others如何赢得别人的信任Being in the social network, everyone must face the interpersonal communication and connection everyday, for which mutual trust is so necessary and beneficial. So how can we obtain trust from others?First, we can only be trusted when we treat others sincerely and do what we promise to do. No one will trust you if you are a dishonest man or do nothing consistent with your words. Just as the little boy in the fairy tale The Wolf Is Coming, when he has lied for three times, no one will take his words as truth. Second, we must be equipped with the skills to attain our aims. Although we indeed love to help others, we cannot offer real assistance to them without ability. So the most necessary method is to be stronger and more excellent, so that we can do something for others without putting much pressure on ourselves. That is to say, when you have a thousand yuan, you can easily donate one hundred to the poor one, but nobody will believe that you can give him all of your money if you just own hundred.Above all, as far as I am concerned, in order to be a trustworthy person, we should conduct well in both mentality and real capacity, each of which should not be neglected.2.智能手机Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, smart phones gradually appear in our lives. Indeed, smart phones make our life more convenient, for instance, we can install all kinds of applications on our smart phones for communication, entertainment, payment and accessing up-to-date news and so on. As for me, I often use my smart phone to shop online, pay for my goods and search for learning materials, which greatly saves my time and simplifies some complicated procedures, and with the time saved, I can do more things which I like. However, just asevery coin has two sides, smart phones are no exception. The overuse or the addiction to smart phones tend to exert a negative impact on our life. Therefore, we should manage our time on smart phones properly. Generally speaking, I often set a time period for myself every day, such as two or three hours, and I usually use smart phones when it is necessary or on my spare time. I believe that smart phones would bring great possible advantages for us if used properly.3. How to manage stress如何应对压力When it comes to the stress, some people are afraid of stress. They think that the stresses and strains of work leads to their less joy and happiness. Particularly, students in expanding number begin to be confused about how to cope with the stress of exam. In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally. Based on the survey conducted by Chinese Academic Research, a majority of college students admit that they are confronted with various pressure which makes them puzzled. Here are some critical methods and strategies to deal with the stress. In the first place, playing sports can exert a positive impact on the aspect of relieving heavy stress. As a consequence, those faced with press can do more exercise to relax themselves. In the second place, taking a positive and optimistic attitude towards life plays an indispensable role in our personal growth and future career. From another perspective, when you are in trouble and feel helpless, please take a positive attitude and effective measures to solve those thorny problems. The last but not the least, when you areconfronted with enormous stress of exam, I, without reservation, suggest that you should take instant actions. Namely, action speaks louder than words, if you are devoted to the course of preparing for the exam and make progress step by step, you can face the exam in a positive manner.In a word, we should take a correct and objective attitude towards to stress, particularly the stress of exam. I harbor that we can overcome it with longstanding efforts.4.The importance of cooperation合作的重要性Traditionally, it was generally accepted to work alone as proof of one's strength. But now with the ever-quickening pace of life and increasing fierce competition, team spirit is indispensable for the development of an enterprise or an individual. It is often said that "people are united and Mount Tai is moved". As long as all members are able to get along well and communicate with each other, their work can move forward better. The details about the importance of cooperation can be listed as follows.First and foremost, in our daily work or study, we often encounter many problems that cannot be solved by our own ability. At this time, teamwork is very important. With the help of the team, these problems can be solved easily and quickly, which can improve work efficiency.In addition, through team cooperation, it also provides employees with the opportunity to get along with colleagues, which is conducive to the cultivation of tacit understanding between employees, which can create a friendly and pleasant working environment for the promotion of later work.In a word, teamwork is very important, and no one can survive alone. They have to rely on others in some ways. Moreover, I believe that in modern society, teamwork is so essential that more and more companies require teamwork spirit. So we should also cultivate this spirit of teamwork in advance, so that we can adapt to the company and develop in an all-round way in the future.5.The most difficult course at collegeThere are many courses in my college. But the most difficult and the most impressive course is Japanese. Before I entered the college, I thought it is easy to learn Japanese well --just like learning English. But actually, things were not as simple as I thought. At first I even can not read a sentence for it’s not easy to remember the pronunciation of words. It was extremely time-consuming and challenging to memorize rare words and distinguish words similar to Chinese. At that time, I particularly admired those students in agronomy or pure biology for they don't have to memorize words and grammar. But everything is changed since I met professor Smith. He told us to dive into the culture behind the language first before memorizinggrammar, taking exams and pursuing high scores. At that moment, I understood what the original intention of language learning was. So I did as what he said, and I really got great progress in Japanese. So Japanese is the most difficult yet most impressive course in my college life.6.图书馆在大学的作用Academic learning exerts a positive impact on personal growth and future career to any college students. As a result, we cannot deny the role and function of the library in any university. The first function flashing in my mind is that the library provides us with a better environment and create an excellent atmosphere where college students can study more knowledge. Next to this, there are a lot of books, novels and the like which play a crucial role in the process of studying. Students who would like to make great progress can have a good taste of these book to enrich their life and expand the scope of knowledge. Finally, college students can share their various views in the library. When strange or different elements come together, we will have fresh perspectives and divergent ways of thinking.7.如何看待二手书When it comes to second-hand book, different people’s view varies from one to another. From my perspective, second-hand book is indispensable to academic learning, which should not be ignored by the young generation. On the one hand, reading second-hand book is a practical action of preserve the valuable resources. Thatis to say, papers in old books are made of wood. If we don’t reuse old books. we will waste much forest resource. On the other hand, it is a way of saving money. After all, it is expensive to buy a delicate book. Finally, the package of book is not we should focus on, but the knowledge in it. You will make great progress by acquiring more knowledge.以上就是英语趣配音为各位大学生分享的英语四六级口语考试部分真题。

Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre..Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The fifth largest city in the US passed a significant soda tax proposal that will levy (征税)1.5 cents per liquid ounce on distributors.Philadelphia's new measure was approved by a 13 to 4 city council vote. It sets a new bar for similar initiatives across the county. It is proof that taxes on sugary drinks can win substantial support outside super-liberal areas. Until now, the only city to successfully pass and implement a soda tax was Berkeley, Califomia, in 2014.The tax will apply to regular and diet sodas, as well as other drinks with added sugar, such as Gatorade and iced teas. It's expected to raise $410 million over the next five years, most of which will go toward funding a universal pre-kindergarten program for the city.While the city council vote was met with applause inside the council room, opponents to the measure, including soda lobbyists made sharp criticisms and a promise to challenge the tax in court.“The tax passed today unfairly singles out beverages-including low- and no-calorie choices”, said Lauren Kane, spokeswoman for the America n Beverage Association. “But most importantly, it is against the law. So we will side with the majority of the people of Philadelphia who oppose this tax and take legal action to stop it. “An industry backed anti- tax campaign has spent at least S4 million on advertisements. The ads criticized the measure. characterizing it as a “grocery tax.”Public health groups applauded the approved tax as a step toward fixing certain lasting health issues that plague Americans. “The move to recapture a small part of t he profits from an industry that pushes a product that contributes to diabetes, obesity and heart disease in poorer communities in order to reinvest in those communities will sure be inspirational to many other places”, said Jim Krieger, executive director of Healthy Food America. Indeed, we are already hearing from some of them. “It's not just Berkeley anymore.”Similar measures in California's Albany, Oakland, San Francisco and Colorado's boulder are becoming hot-button issues Health advocacy groups have hinted that even more might be coming46. What does the passage say about the newly-approved soda tax in Philadelphia?A) It will change the lifestyle of many consumersB) It may encourage other US cities to follow suit.C) It will cut soda consumption among low-income communitiesD) It may influence the marketing strategies of the soda business47. What will the opponents probably do to respond to the soda tax proposal?A) Bargain with the city council.B) Refuse to pay additional tax.C) Take legal action against itD) Try to win public support.48. What did the industry-backed anti-tax campaign do about the soda tax proposalA) It tried to arouse hostile feelings among consumersB) It tried to win grocers support against the measureC) It kept sending letters of protest to the mediaD) It criticized the measure through advertising49. What did public health groups think the soda tax would do?A) Alert people to the risk of sugar-induced diseases.B) Help people to fix certain long-time health issues.C) Add to the fund for their research on diseases.D) Benefit low-income people across the country50.What do we learn about similar measures concerning the soda tax in some other cities?A)They are becoming rather sensitive issues.B) They are spreading panic in the soda industry.C)They are reducing the incidence of sugar-induced diseases.D)They are taking away lot of profit from the soda industryPassage TwoPopping food into the microwave for a couple of minutes may seem utterly harmless, but Europe’s stock of these quick-cooking ovens emit as much carbon as nearly 7 million cars, a new study has found. And the problem is growing. With costs falling and kitchen appliances becoming “status" items, owners are throwing away microwaves after an average of eight years. This is pushing sales of new microwaves which are expected to reach 135 million annually in the EU by the end of the decadeA study by the University of Manchester calculated the emissions of co2-the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change-at every stage of microwaves, from manufacture to waste disposal. “It is electricity consumption by microwaves that has the biggest impact on th e environment," say the authors. The authors also calculate that the emissions from using 19 microwaves over a year are the same as those from using a car. According to the same study, efforts to reduce consumption should focus on improving consumer awareness and behaviour . For example, consumers could use appliances in a more efficient way by adjusting the time of cooking to the type of food.However, David Reay, professor of carbon management, argues that, although microwaves use a great deal of energy, their emissions are minor compared to those from cars. In the UK alone, there are around 30 million cars These cars emit more than all the microwaves in the EU. Backing this up, recent data show that passenger cars in the UK emitted 69 million tons of CO2 in 2015. This is 10 times the amount this new microwave oven study estimates for annual emissions for all the microwave ovens in the EU. Further, the energy used by microwaves is lower than any other form of cooking. Among common kitchen appliances used for cooking,microwaves are the most energy efficient, followed by a stove and finally a standard oven. Thus, rising microwave sales could be seen as a positive thing.51.What is the finding of the new study?A)Quick-cooking microwave ovens have become more popular.B) The frequent use of microwaves may do harm to our health.C) CO2 emissions constitute a major threat to the environmentD）The use of microwaves emits more CO than people think .52.Why are the sales of microwaves expected to rise？A)They are becoming more affordable.B)They have a shorter life cycle than other appliances .C) They are getting much easier to operate.D) They take less time to cook than other appliances.53. What recommendation does the study by the University of Manchester make?A) Cooking food of different varieties.B) Improving microwave user’s habits.C) Eating less to cut energy consumption.D) Using microwave ovens less frequently.54. What does Professor David Reay try to argue?A) There are far more emissions from cars than from microwaves.B) People should be persuaded into using passenger cars less oftenC) The UK produces less CO than many other countries in the EUD) More data are needed to show whether microwaves are harmful.55. What does Professor David Reay think of the use of microwaves?A) It will become less popular in the coming decades.B) It makes everyday cooking much more convenient.C) It plays a positive role in environmental protection.D) It consumes more power than conventional cooking【参考答案】46-50 D C A D C51-55 C B B A DPart Ⅳ Translation( 30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Researchers found that only people who were seated in individual - had a high risk of catching the illness. All other passengers had only a very 28 chance of getting sick according to the findings. Media reports have not necessarily presented. 29 information about the risk of getting infected on an airplane in the past. Therefore , these new findings should help airplane passengers to feel less 30 to catching respiratory infections while traveling by air.Prior to the new study. litter was known about the risks of getting 31 infected by common respiratory viruses, such as the flu or common cold, on an airplane, the researchers said. So, to 32 the risks of infection, the study team flew on 10 different 33 in the US. 34 side of a person infected with flu, as well as thosesitting one roe in font of or behind this individual, had about an 80 person chance of getting sick.

One vision of the perfect city of the future: a place that offers easy access to air travel.In 2011, a University of North Carolina business professor named John Kasarda published a book called Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next. Kasarda says future cities should be built intentionally around or near airports. The idea, as hehas put it, is to offer businesses “rapid, long-distance connectivity on a massive scale.”B）“The 18th century really was a waterborne （水运的）century, the 19th century a rail century. the 20th century a highway, car, truck century一and the 21st century will increasingly be an aviation century, as the globe becomes increasingly conne cted by air,” Kasarda says. Songdo, a city built from scratch in South Korea, is one of Kasarda’s prime examples. It has existed for just a few years.“ From the get-go, it was designed on the basis of connectivity and competitiveness,”says Kasada. “The gov ernment built the bridge directly from the airport to the Songdo International Business District. And the surface infrastructure was built in tandem with the new airport.”C）Songdo is a stone’s throw from South Korea’s Incheon Airport, its main international hub （枢纽）. But it takes a lot more than a nearby airport to be a city of the future. Just building a place as an “international business district” doesn’t mean it will become one. Park Yeon Soo conceived （构想）this city of the future back in 1986. He con siders Songdo his baby. “I am a visionary,” he says. Thirty years after he imagined the city, Park’s baby is close to 70 percent built, with 36.000 people living in the business district and 90,000 residents in greater Songdo. It’s about an hour outside Se oul, built on reclaimed tidal flats along the Yellow Sea, There’s a Coast Guard building and a tall trade tower, as well as a park, golf course and university.D）Chances are you’ve actually seen this place. Songdo appears in the most famous music video ev er to come ou of South Korea. “Gangnam Style” refers tothe fashionable Gangnam district in Seoul. But some of the video was filmed in Songdo.“I don’t know if you remember, there was a scene in a subway station. That was not Gangnam. That was actually Song do,” says Jung Won Son, a professor of urban development at London’s Bartlett School of Planning, “Part of the reason to shoot there is that it’s new and nice.”E）The city was supposed to be a hub for global companies, with employees from all over the wor ld. But hat’s not how it has turned out. Songdo’s reputation is as a futuristic ghost town. But the reality is more complicated. A bridge with big, light-blue loops leads into the business district. In the center of the main road, there’s a long line of flags of the world. On the corner, there’s a Starbucks and a 7-Eleven--all of the international brands that you see all over the world nowadays.F）The city is not empty. There are mothers pushing strollers, old women with walkers -- even in the middle of th e day. when it’s 90 degrees out. Byun Young-Jin chairs the Songdo real estate association and started selling property here when the first phase of the city opened in 2005. He says demand has boomed in the past couple of years. Most of his clients are Korean. In fact, the developer says, 99 percent of the homes here are sold to Koreans. Young families move here because the schools are great. And that’s the problem: Songdo has become a popular Korean city 一more popular as a residential area than a business one. It’s not yet the futuristic international business hub that planners imagined. “It’s a great place to live. And it’s becoming a great place to work,” says Scott Summers, the vice president of Gale International, the developer of the city. Thefloor-to-ceiling windows of his company’s offices overlook Songdo Central Park, with a canal full of kayaks and paddle boats. Shimmering （闪烁的）glass towers line the canal’s edge.G）“What’s happened is, because we focused on creating that quality of life first, which enabled the residents to live here, what has probably missed the mark is for companies to locate here,” he says. “There needs to be strong economic incentives.” The city is still unfinished, and it feels a bit like a theme park. It doesn’t feel all that futuristic. There’s a high-tech underground trash disposal system. Buildings are environmentally friendly. Everybody’s television set is connected to a system that streams personalized language or exercise classes.H）But Star Trek this is not. And to some of the residents, Songdo feels hollow. “I’m, like, in prison for weekdays. That’s what we call it in the workplace,” says a woman in her 20s. She doesn’t want to use her name for fear of being fired from her job. She goes back to Seoul every weekend. “I say I’m prison-breaking on Friday nights.” But she has to make the prison break in her own car. There’s no high-speed train connecting Songdo to Seoul, just over 20 miles away.I）The man who first imagined Songdo feels frustrated. too. Park says he built South Korea a luxury vehicle, “like Mercedes or BMW. It’s a good car now. But we’re waiting for a good driver to accelerate.” But there are lots of other good cars out there, too. The world is dotted with futuristic, high-tech cities trying to attract the biggest international companiesJ）Songdo’s backers contend that it’s still early, and business space is filling up—about 70 percent of finished offices are now occupied. Brent Ryan, who teaches urban design at MIT, says Songdo proves a universal principle. “There have been a lot of utopian （乌托邦的）cities in history. And the reason we don’t know about a lot of them is that a lot of them have vanished entirely.” In other words, when it comes to cities—or anything else—it is hard to predict the future.36. Son gdo’s popularity lies more in its quality of life than its business attraction.37. The man who conceives Songdo feels disappointed because it has fallen short of his expectations.38. A scene in a popular South Korean music video was shot in Songdo.39. Songdo still lacks the financial stimulus for businesses to set up shop there.40. Airplanes will increasingly become the chief means of transportation, according to a professor.41. Songdo has ended up different from the city it was supposed to be.42. Some of the people who work in Songdo complain about boredom in the workplace.43. A business professor says that a future city should have easy access to international transportation.44. Acording to an urban design professor, it is difficult for city designers to foresee what happen in the future.45. Park Yeon So. Who envisioned Songdo, feels a parental connection with the city.【参考答案】36-40 FIDGB41-45 EHAJCSection CPassage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The fifth largest city in the US passed a significant soda tax proposal that will levy （征税）1.5cents per liquid ounce on distributors.Philadelphia’s new measure was approved by a 13 to 4 city council vote. It sets a new bar for similar initiatives across the county. It is proof that taxes on sugary drinks can win substantial support outside super-liberal areas. Until now, the only city to successfully pass and implement a soda tax was Berkeley, California, in 2014.The tax will apply to regular and diet sodas, as well as other drinks with added sugar, such as Gatorade and iced teas. It’s expected to raise $410 million over the next five years, most of which will go toward funding a universal pre-kindergarten program for the city.While the city council vote was met with applause inside the council room, opponents to the measure, including soda lobbyists made sharp criticisms and a promise to challenge the tax in court.“The tax passed today unfairly singles out beverage s—including low- and no-calorie choices,” said Lauren Kane, spokeswoman for the American Beverage Association. “But most importantly, it is against the law. So we will side with the majority of the people of Philadelphia who oppose this tax and take legal action to stop it.”An industry backed anti-tax campaign has spent at least $4 million on advertisements. The ads criticized the measure. characterizing it as a“grocery tax.”Public health groups applauded the approved tax as a step toward fixing certain l asting health issues that plague Americans. “The move to recapture a small part of the profits from an industry that pushes a product that contributes to diabetes, obesity and heart disease in poorer communities in order to reinvest in those communities wi ll sure be inspirational to many other places,” said Jim Krieger, executive director of Healthy Food America. “Indeed, we are already hearing from some of them. It’s not just Berkeley’ anymore.”Similar measures in California’s Albany, Oakland, San Francisco and Colorado’s Boulder are becoming hot-button issues Health advocacy groups have hinted that even more might be coming.46. What does the passage say about the newly-approved soda tax in Philadelphia?A）It will change the lifestyle of many consumers.B）It may encourage other US cities to follow suit.C）It will cut soda consumption among low-income communities.D）It may influence the marketing strategies of the soda business.47. What will the opponents probably do to respond to the soda tax proposal? A）Bargain with the city council.B）Refuse to pay additional tax.C）Take legal action against it.D）Try to win public support.48. What did the industry-backed anti-tax campaign do about the soda tax proposal?A）It tried to arouse hostile feelings among consumers.B）It tried to win grocers’ support against the measure.C）It kept sending letters of protest to the media.D）It criticized the measure through advertising.49. What did public health groups think the soda tax would do?A）Alert people to the risk of sugar-induced diseases.B）Help people to fix certain long-time health issues.C）Add to the fund for their research on diseases.D）Benefit low-income people across the country.50. What do we learn about similar measures concerning the soda tax in some other cities?A）They are becoming rather sensitive issues.B）They are spreading panic in the soda industry.C）They are reducing the incidence of sugar-induced diseases.D）They are taking away lot of profit from the soda industry.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Popping food into the microwave for a couple of minutes may seem utterly harmless, but Europe’s stock of these quick-cooking ovens emit as much carbon as nearly 7 million cars, a new study has found. And the problem is growing. With costs falling and kitchen appliances becoming “status” items, owners are throwing away microwaves after an average of eight years. This is pushing sales of new microwaves which are expected to reach 135 million annually in the EU by the end of the decade.A study by the University of Manchester calculated the emissions of CO2—the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change—at every stage of microwaves, from manufacture to waste di sposal. “It is electricity consumption by microwaves that has the biggest impact on the environment,” say the authors. The authors also calculate that the emissions from using 19 microwaves over a year are the same as those from using a car. According to the same study, efforts to reduce consumption should focus on improving consumer awareness and behaviour. For example, consumers could use appliances in a more efficient way by adjusting the time of cooking to the type of food.However, David Reay, professor of carbon management, argues that, although microwaves use a great deal of energy, their emissions are minor compared to those from cars. In the UK alone, there are around 30 million cars. These cars emit more than all the microwaves in the EU. Backing this up, recent data show that passenger cars in the UK emitted 69 million tons of CO2 in 2015. This is 10 times the amount this new microwave oven study estimates for annual emissions for all the microwave ovens in the EU. Further, the energy used by microwaves is lower than any other from of cooking. Among common kitchen appliances used for cooking, microwaves are the most energy efficient, followed by a stove and finally a standard oven. Thus, rising microwave sales could be seen as a positive thing.51. What is the finding of the new study?A）Quick-cooking microwave ovens have become more popular.B）The frequent use of microwaves may do harm to our health.C）CO2 emissions constitute a major threat to the environment.D）The use of microwaves emits more CO2 than people think.52. Why are the sales of microwaves expected to rise?A）They are becoming more affordable.B）They have a shorter life cycle than other appliances.C）They are getting much easier to operate.D）They take less time to cook than other appliances.53. What recommendation does the study by the University of Manchester make? A）Cooking food of different varieties.B）Improving microwave users’ habits.C）Eating less to cut energy consumption.D）Using microwave ovens less frequently.54. What does Professor David Reay try to argue?A）There are far more emissions from cars than from microwaves.B）People should be persuaded into using passenger cars less often.C）The UK produces less CO2 than many other countries in the EU.D）More data are needed to show whether microwaves are harmful.55. What does Professor David Reay think of the use of microwaves?A）It will become less popular in the coming decades.B）It makes everyday cooking much more convenient.C）It plays a positive role in environmental protection.D）It consumes more power than conventional cooking.Part ⅣTranslation中国家庭十分重视孩子的教育。

During this visit, the students saw the grand farmland and were deeply impressed by the modern agricultural technology, especially the fully automatic wheat harvesting operation. The trip culminated in a visit to a manufacturing process of dairy products. Mary, a student from School of Foreign Languages, said at the thought of agriculture, what had occurred to her was the images of sweating peasants laboring in the field under thescorching sun. However, this trip totally changed her stereotype on Chinese agriculture.Through their personal experience, the field trip deepens college students’ understanding of the rapid social development, and will exert an ever-lasting influence upon their future study and work.解析：本次四级考试要求写新闻报道，着实让不少考生感到意外，但是细细想来，近几年应用文的趋势已经非常明显，大家应该在备考中做到“面上铺开，重点突出”。

When a company is listedon the stock market, it can raise funds, which can be used to promoteits development. When many promising companies offer their shares tothe 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.

Why? It seems to me that most Chinese are traditional, and they like to put their 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 Chineseseldom 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 .Soperhaps some funds will pull out of the real estate market and move to the banks . Generally speaking, I think most Chinese prefer to save their money in banks for guaranteed returns.。

2019英语四级口语考试练习题（1）
Task1： Retelling a story
①When she was 22 years old Pat Jones decided that she wanted to travel around the world and see as many foreign places as she could while she was young. When she finished college at home in Britain, Pat chose to visit Latin America first, so she managed to get a job as an English teacher in a secondary school in Bolivia. Pat spoke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with her students even though
they did not know much English.
②A sentence she had once read somewhere stuck in her mind： if you dream in a foreign language, it means that you have really mastered it. Pat repeated this sentence to her students and she hoped that someday she would dream in
Spanish and they would dream in English.
③One day, Tim, one of the worst students in her class, came up to her and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He said that he had gone to bed early and had slept badly. Pat was quite angry with him, for she did not think that his explanation had anything to do with his homework. But Tim told her that he dreamed all night and his dream was in English.
④“In English!” Pat thought. She was greatly surprised, since Tim was such a bad student. She was also secretly jealous. Her dreams were still not in Spanish, but she
decided to encourage her student and asked him to tell her about his dream.
“All the people in my dream spoke English,” Tim said. “And all the signs were in English. All the newspapers and magazines and all the TV programs were in English.”
“But that’s wonderful,” said Pat. “What did all the people say to you?” she asked.
“I’m sorry. Miss Jones, That’s why I slept so badly all through the night. I didn’t understand a word they said. It was a nightmare!” Tim answered.
Task2： Talking on a given topic
Directions： Describe one of the most unpleasant dreams you’ve ever had.

Student B： Nowadays higher education is getting more and more expensive. To quite a number of families it has become a big financial burden. You try to discuss this problem with student A. Your opinion is that it is unfair to put this big burden on parents since college students are already adults. Students themselves should find ways to pay their own tuition.。
