Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice by writing the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet(机读纸).7.Passage OnePeople have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries in 1914 and 2014.The results reveal that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Larvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm.James Bentham, a co-author of the research from Imperial College, London, says the global trend is likely to be due primarily to improvements in nutrition and healthcare. “An individual's genetics has a big influence on their height, but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role” he added.A little extra height brings a number of advantages, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. “Being taller is associated with longer life expectancy,” he said. “This is largely due to a lower risk ofdying of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease among taller people.”But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Riboli. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.“One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s,” said Alexander Moradi of the University of Sussex. The nutritional and health crises that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.Bentham believe the global trend of increasing height has important implications. “How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in,” he said. “If we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come.”(5分)(1).What does the global study tell us about people’s height in the last hundred years?(1分)A.There is a remarkable difference across continents.B.There has been a marked increase in most countries.C.The increase in people’s height has been quickening.D.The increase in women’s height is bigger than in men’s.(2).What does James Bentham say about genetics in the increase of people’s height?(1分)A.It counts less than generally thought.B.It outweighs nutrition and healthcare.C.It impacts more on an individual than on population.D.It plays a more significant role in females than in males.(3).What does Elio Riboli say about taller people?(1分)A.They tend to live longer.B.They enjoy an easier life.C.They generally risk fewer fatal diseases.D.They have greater expectations in life.(4).What do we learn about 18-year-olds in Uganda and Niger?(1分)A.They grow up slower than their peers in other countries.B.They are actually shorter than their earlier generations.C.They find it hard to bring their potential into full play.D.They have experienced many changes of government.(5).What does James Bentham suggest we do?(1分)A.Watch closely the global trend in children's development.B.Make sure that our children grow up to their full height.C.Try every means possible to improve our environment.D.Ensure our children grow up in an ideal environment.8.Passage TwoIf you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a sibling's (兄弟姐妹) name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive (认知的) error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition, found that the “wrong” name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group”. The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them--- family or friend---had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry.(5分)(1).How might people often feel when they were misnamed?(1分)A.Unwanted.B.Unhappy.C.Confused.D.Indifferent.(2).What did David Rubin's research find about misnaming?(1分)A.It is related to the way our memories work.B.It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.C.It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.D.It often causes misunderstandings among people.(3).What is most likely the cause of misnaming?(1分)A.Similar personality traits.B.Similar spellings of names.C.Similar physical appearance.D.Similar pronunciation of names.(4).What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?(1分)A.It more often than not hurts relationships.B.It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.C.It is most frequently found in extended families.D.It most often occurs within a relationship groups.(5).Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers?(1分)A.They suffer more frustrations.B.They become worn out more often.C.They communicate more with their children.D.They generally take on more work at home.得分阅卷人五、Part II Reading Comprehension Section B (共1题,共10分)9.Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet (机读纸).1.How you approach studying matters(A-C)2.Where you study is important(D-E)3. Bring everything you need, nothing you don’t(F-G)4. Outline and rewrite your notes(H)5. Practice by yourself or with friends(I)6.Make a schedule you can stick to(J)7. Take breaks (and rewards!)(K)8. Keep healthy and balanced(L)9. Know what the expectations are for the class(M-N)(10分)A.Students grapple with many issues in their lives, and because of all of the competingthings for your attention, it’s hard to concentrate on studying. And yet if you’re inschool, you have to do at least a little studying in order to progress from year to year.The key to effective studying isn't cramming or studying longer, but studying smarter.You can begin studying smarter with these nine proven and effective study habits.B.Too many people look at studying as a necessary task, not an enjoyment or anopportunity to learn. That's fine, but researchers have found that how you approachsomething matters almost as much as what you do. Being in the right mindset isimportant in order to study smarter,C.Sometimes you can’t “force” yourself to be in the right mindset, and it is during such times that you should simply avoid studying If you’re distracted by a relationship issue, an upcoming game, or finishing an important project, then studying is just going to be an exercise in frustration. Come back to it when you’re not preoccupied (or obsessed!) by something else going on in your life.D.A lot of people make the mistake of studying in a place that really isn’t conductive to concentrating. A place with a lot of distractions makes for a poor study area. If you try and study in your dorm room, for instance, you may find the computer, TV, or a roommate more interesting than the reading material you’ re trying to digest.E.The library, a corner in a student lounge or study hall are good places to check out. Make sure to choose the quiet areas in these places, not the loud, central gathering areas. Investigate multiple places on-campus and off-campus; don't just pick the first one you find as “good enough” for your needs and habits. Finding an ideal study place is important, because it’s one you can reliably count on for the next few years. F.Unfortunately, when you find an ideal place to study, sometimes people bring things they don’t need. For instance, while it may seem ideal to type notes into a computer to refer back to later, computers are a powerful distraction for many people because they can do so many different things. Playing games, going online, surfing the Web, and answering emails are all wonderful distractions that have nothing to do with studying. So ask yourself whether you really need a computer to take notes, or whether you can make do with the old fashioned paper and pen or pencil.G.Don’t forget the things you need to study for the class, exam or paper you’re focusing on for the study session. Nothing is more time consuming and wasteful than having to run back and forth regularly because you forget an important book, paper, or some other resource you need to be successful.H.Most people find that keeping to a standard outline format helps them boil information down to its most basic components. People find that connecting similar concepts together makes it easier to remember when the exam comes around. The important thing to remember in writing outlines is that an out-line only works as a learning tool when it is in your own words and structure. Every person is unique in how they put similar information together (called “chunking” by cognitive psychologists). So while you’re welcomed to copy other people’s notes or outlines, make sure you translate those notes and outlines into your own words and concepts. Failing to do this is what often causes many students to stumble in remembering important items. I.The old saying, practice makes perfect, is true. You can practice by yourself by testing yourself with either practice exams, past quizzes, or flash cards(depending on what kind of course it is and what's available). If a practice exam isn't available, you canmake one up for yourself and your classmates. If a practice or old exam from a course is available, use it as a guide ___do not study to the practice or old exam! Such exams help you understand the breadth of content and types of questions to expect, but are not the actual material to study for.J.Too many people treat studying as the thing to do when you get around to it or have some spare time. But if you schedule study time just as your class time is scheduled, you’ll find it becomes much less of a hassle in the long run. Instead of lastminute cramming sessions, you’ll be better prepared because you haven’t put off all the studying into one 12-hour marathon. Spending 30 or 60 minutes every day you have a class studying for that class before or after is a lot easier and will allow you to actually learn more of the material.K.Because so many people view studying as a chore or task, it’s human nature to avoid it. If, however, you find rewards to help reinforce what you’re doing, you may be pleasantly surprised by the change you may find in your attitude over time.Rewards start by chunking study time into manageable components. Studying for 4 hours at a time with no breaks is not realistic or fun for most people. Studying for 1 hour, and then taking a 5-minute break and grabbing a snack is usually more sustainable and enjoyable. Divide study time into segments that make sense and work for you. If you have to digest a whole textbook chapter, find sections in the chapter and commit to reading and taking notes on one section at a time. Maybe you only do one section in a sitting, maybe you do two. Find the limits that seem to work for you.L.It’s hard to live a balanced life while in school, I know. But the more balance you seek out in your life, the easier every component in your life becomes. If you spend all of your time focusing on a relationship or a game, you can see how easy it is to be out of balance. When you're out of balance, the things you’re not focusing on such as studying become that much harder. Don't spend all of your time studying ___ have friends, keep in touch with your family, and find interests outside of school that you can pursue and enjoy.M.Different professors and teachers have different expectations for their students. While taking good notes and listening in class are good starts, you can do better by spending some time with the instructor or professor's assistant. Talking to the instructor early on especially if you foresee a difficult course ahead ___ will help you understand the course requirements and the professor's expectations.If you get a particularly bad grade on a paper or exam, talk to the instructor. Try and understand where things went wrong, and what you can do in the future to help reduce it from happening again.Don’t forget to learn!N.Studying isn’t just about passing an exam, as most students look at it as. Studying isan effort to actually learn things, some of which you might actually care about. So whileyou’ll have to take your share of classes that have little or nothing to do with yourinterests, you should still look for interesting things to take away from every experience.(1).___ There are always interesting things to be found in what you learn.(1分)(2).___ You should space your work out over shorter periods of time and not try to cram all ofyour studying into just one or two sessions.(1分)(3).___ Past test papers are only useful in that they give you a general idea of the subject areas tofocus on and help you identify the style of the questions.(1分)(4).___ It is important to know what the professors will be expecting of you when you sign up fortheir courses.(1分)(5).___ Studying can be a problem when you aren’t in the mood for it.(1分)(6).___ Only bring the necessary study tools with you when you go to your ideal study place.(1分)(7).___ Notes are only useful and helpful when they are written using your own words andconcepts.(1分)(8).___ Finding a positive study environment is very important.(1分)(9).___ In order to study efficiently, you have to have the right attitude.(1分)(10).___ Information reviewed amid distractions is less likely to be remembered.(1分)得分阅卷人六、Part II Reading Comprehension Section C (共1题,共10分)10.Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Men often pay on the first date, but the woman may offer to go Dutch.

Today, magazines do not do this. However, they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking and motherhood, and to offer beauty advice to help women attract men and please husbands. There are now a few less traditional magazines such as Ms. that show women in a range of roles and that cover a much wider range of topics.Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily as sex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older men who smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfully about their clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap to wash theirhusband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about the way they present women, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it is still quite common to see advertisements where beautiful young women are dressed in sexy clothes to sell cars or other products. One study also found that the changes are mainly on nighttimetelevision, with daytime commercials still tending to portray women doing household chores. Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In past decades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passive girlfriends of powerful, effective men. Today’s TV programs are somewhat different. Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to support themselves and their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there. Even when women are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that they should be sexy as well.1. The best title for this passage is _____________.A) Gender Roles in the MediaB) Influence of Mass Media in Our LivesC) Different Types of MediaD) Womenˊs Magazines and Televisions2. What makes Ms. different from other womenˊs magazines?A) Ms. offers women tips of caring for their families.B) Ms. treats women as adults who need to learn about being a mother.C) Ms. is interested in a wider range of women’s role.D) Ms. is the type of women’s magazines that dominates now.3. It can be inferred that ________ might be a new type of women image on the television commercials.A) young beautiful women dressed in sexy clothesB) happy mothers doing the household choresC) guilty wives who don’t use the right soapD) career women who enjoys her career success4. From the conte xt we know “to stereotype women” (Line 1, Paragraph 4) refers to __________.A) to tag on women some fixed roles and imagesB) to portray women in some different waysC) to depict women as successful and able to support themseD) to portray women as successful professionals5. Which of the following statement do you think the writer would least agree with in terms of the media’s attitude towards women?A) The mass media always presents to us a variety of women images as they are in daily life.B) The mass media focuses womenˊs roles in life as a mother more than as a professional.C) The way mass media define women has changed as time goes by.D) The limited images of women mass media presented to the audience through mass media have influenced the way the audience think and behave.Almost every society has certain traditional ideas about marriage. For example, most societies expect men and women to marry. Most cultures also have traditions about the role and duties of a husband and a wife. Traditionally, the husband is expected to earn a living, and the wife is expected to keep house and raise children.Many Americans did not follow traditional marriage patterns. For example, a large number of married couples share responsibilities that have been traditionally handled byeither the husband or the wife. An increasing number of married women have paying jobs and help support their families financially. In 1940, about 15 percent of all married women earned money. In the early 1990s, about 60 percent held a full- or part-time job.More and more husbands share responsibilities traditionally handled by women, such as cooking, doing housework, and caring for children.On the average, men and women stay single longer than they once did. In 1950s, men married at an average age of 23, and women married at an average age of 20. By themid-1990s, the average marriage age was about 26.5 for men and about 24.5 for women.An increasing number of people choose not to marry. If a man and a woman wish to avoid marriage, they may decide to live together with no formal obligations to each other. This arrangement is more common among young adults, but some couples of all ages live together without marrying.1.

In our neighborhood, in the neighboring state, wherever we look, we find criminals and crime. Criminals have (1) a part of our daily lives. Doesthis mean we let them be the darkness of our society? No, definitely not. Eliminating crime and criminals is our duty, and we cannot ignore it. Getting the rightly accused toa just (2) is very important. Some criminals commit a crime because they have no other option tosurvive, but some do it for fun. I do not advocate for everybody. A person(3) stole bread from a grocery store, definitely does not deserve the death penalty. However, aserial killer, who kills people for fun or for his personal gain,definitely deserves it. The death penalty should continue (4)eliminate the garbage of our society.Not everybody deserves to die, but some people surely do. I support thedeath penalty because of several reasons. Firstly, I believe that it serves as a deterrent and helps in (5) crime. Secondly, it is true that it is irreversible, but it ishard to kill a wrongly convicted person due to the several chances given to the convicted to prove his innocence. Thirdly, the death penalty assures safety of the society byeliminating these criminals. Finally, I believe in “a life for a life”.1. A) punishmen B) reducingC) in order to D) whoE) become2.

1.Dreams and Ambition(梦想与抱负)Everyone has a lot of dreams. Some people want to be rich, dreaming of becoming millionaires overnight. Others want to be famous, dreaming of suddenly jumping to great fame. I have a lot of dreams,too. When I was a young girl, I dreamed of becoming a scientist like Hua Luogen in future.However, I knew very well that I could not succeed without painstaking efforts. So I studied hard in the middle school and college in order to attain my goal.After graduating from college, I found a job as a teacher.Although I was very busy with teaching, I never gave up my goal. I read a lot of books to get more knowledge. I made experiments to practise and apply what I had learnt from the books. Sometimes, I was so deeply indulged in my research that I forgot my meals and time. Now I have made great progress. Several of my research papers have been published. The methods proposed in my papers have been proven to be valuable for the solution of some problems. I am very happy.The ladder of becoming a scientist is still far ahead, but I have climbed the first rung anyway.每个人都有很多的梦想。

Topics for Oral test1. Which great leader do you admire most? What qualities did/does he/she have?bill gates2.3. Which do you cherish more, your friendship with a good friend or your romanticrelationship? obviously, friend is easy to make, but lover is kind of hard to seek for.Since relationship between friends might be not that close compared to romantic relationship, I will probably take it serious and cherish this sweet relationship. Also, I believe that my friends will support me and our relationship won’t be tense and freezing because of this. As the Chinese saying goes, once you got a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you may leave your friends out of your mind. I partly agree this, and when I fall in love, especially at the very beginning, I think I will cherish it more than friendship.4.5. What factors would you consider first if you were to find a job (even a part-timejob)? I will first consider whether this company and the offered position is high potential.I think high potential is a quality that is vital for the company’s future development andits personnel’s self improvement. Every one need a room to promote and realize one’s self-value. Another factor I concern is—its location. I’d like to work and live in big cities because big cities offer so many opportunities and a higher salary while small cities can’t.6. Whom do you usually turn to when in trouble, vour parents or your friends? Theyknow me better than anyone else and their vision is wide, their thoughts are mature.They can give me better suggestion. Parents are people who love us most and will never be unwilling or too busy to listen to me and give me a hand. However, friends may be busy with study or can’t figure out my situation clearly. What’s more, always asking them for help perhaps will make them become inpatient.7.8. Nature or Nurture: which plays a more important role in a person’s success,biological factors or environmental factors? I do think the environmental factors are vital for one’s success. There are so many things we have to learn on this earth. You probably have some nature talent but if the environment doesn’t provide you the platform to show and make the most use of it, it means nothing. Environment can havea very strong impact on a person through out the life. Live with A level students, we willbe influenced to learn better. 1 percent talent and 99 percent hard working. We can be easily affected9.10. How do you get along with your roommates? What do you do when conflicts withyour roommates come in the way? (interpersonal relationships) bring them homemade food. Having meals and going shopping together clean the dorm regularly.I’ll firstly let myself calm down and figure out whether it’s my fault or her fault, if it’s my fault, I will break the freezing atmosphere and say sorry. If it’s her fault, I will11.12. What are your hobbies? What do you think of some students who spend far toomore time on their hobbies than on their schoolwork?13.14. A lot of young people like fast food, esp. things like hamburgers andFrench fries. What is you attitude to the phenomenon? I really don’t agree to take fast food so frequently, because there are way too much oil, meat and fewer vegetables in it. I’m worried about its nutrition. It’s an unbalance way of eating. I love McDonald’s and KFC as well but I understand that they are fairly unhealthy. Sometimes I do go to eat there if I have a very strong feeling of having it. But in most time, I will persuade myself just stop here, stop at thinking of it.16. Would you like to further your education abroad, if it were possible? Give yourreasons. ( studying at home or abroad) I really want to study abroad in the future, in fact, I’m preparing for TOFEL no w. the first reason is that the education in western country have a pretty high quality and the facility and resources in university is abundant.Second reason is that I would like to take this chance to have a close look at western country and culture, and broaden my horizon. Another reason is that I can learn to be independent and do all stuffs by myself.17. Describe your life at college with your partners. What aspects about college lifedo you like the best? More free to study by myself, more spare time I can arrange in order to focus on my robot team. I love making robots and attend all kinds of competitions.

大学英语全部口语考试题目及详细答案Topics for mini-talk (one minute)1.Can you describe some possible advantages of having a poor memory?For example, you can forget the unhappy things easily.easily turn your previous enemies into friendsforget the unhappy expieriences easily.recover from hurt quickly.don't have to get self involved in the sad and unhappy memory but to look ahead. You can lose your bad memory , such as lose love , sad issues , or unsuccessful periodA poor memory may have some advantages. With the passage of time, the sad memories will fade. Those with a short memory tend to recover faster than those with a tenacious memory. For the same reason, forgetful people may be more ready to forget their daily worries and forgive others for their offenses. With a less retentive mind, they may enjoy life more2.Do you think it is necessary for most of Chinese children to do a lot of difficult math problems for Olympic Math Competition?Some parents believe that by doing a lot of difficult math problems, their children will have a solid foundation in math. Some parents even believe that trying to solve hard math problems will promote the growth of children's brains and help develop their logical reasoning ability and concentration, which will facilitate learning in other areas. On the other hand, many people believe that it is unnecessary and unnatural for children to study difficult math problems. Some people even believe that strict math training harms children's moral and physical development. Fierce competition may dampen the spirit of teamwork, which is so important in the contemporary world.3.What study habits seem to be common among successful students?Many top students seem to have these good study habits: They tend to have a strong sense of time and organize their time well. They may draw up their study plan well in advance. While studying, they check whether they are working ahead of schedule or lagging behind it. They usually work in a systematic way. Before class, they preview the text to get some idea about what the teacher is going to say and which part of the text is difficult. In class, they listen attentively, take notes of the main points of the lecture, and ask questions when they don't understand. After class, they review what they have learned. By going through the text and the notes, they can remember important information.4.Should we be punctual for class, work, or appointments? Why?In the past, Chinese did not attach much importance to punctuality. In an agricultural country punctuality was not very important. But nowadays, owing to the quickened pace of life and the influence of Western concepts of time, the Chinese seem to be paying more attention to punctuality. If somebody is twenty minutes late for an appointment, you may be annoyed because it is a waste of your time. To avoid being late, we should make adequate preparations. In case an emergency prevents us from arriving at the destination on time, we can call ahead to inform the person concerned of the delay. But for entertainment activities like aparty, we may be a bit late, for that causes no inconvenience to others.5.If you wanted to start a business, which factors would you consider first? Why?If I wanted to launch a business, I would consider all of these factors, for they all play an indispensable role. First of all, I would consider my ability. Since I majored in biology, I would be cautious in starting a company to sell something I am not familiar with such as building materials or DVDs. With my educational background, I may find it easier to run a company selling bio-tech products. The next thing I would have to take into account, is the money available. Suppose the establishment of a company required a capital of a million dollars, I would try to see whether I could get a loan. If not, I would give up the idea and try to set up a smaller service company that required less capital. Last but not least, I would survey the market to see if the products I planned to deal with could be sold. If they were unmarketable,I had better give up the idea of founding a company in this area. If they soldwell, then I would go ahead.6.Name at least 5 recreational activities, and give specific comments on one of them.Killers’ Night(杀人游戏)Sanguo kill(三国杀)skip(跳绳)Hide and Seek(躲迷藏)Throw handkerchief(丢手绢)Hide and Seek:First, we selected one by some rules and covered his eyes and make him count, long or short is ok, while others must find a place to hide away in this period of time. And then It's time to find others. the one who was found firstly will be the one seeked in the next round. Games can be repeated .7.Can you think of some practical measures to protect forests?I think the most important thing to do is to create a law to forbid the cuttingof trees in certain areas. Even when timber(木料) is needed for construction (建设), logging(伐木工作)should be well planned. In addition to the law, we also need law enforcement personnel who will fine those who fell treesillegally. It is not enough to protect the existing forests. We must also planttrees to make new forests. We should also grow various types of trees toensure bio-diversity. To make the a forestation program successful, thegovernment should award those units and individuals that have madeoutstanding contributions.8.What is the relationship between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate?I want to say is that the attitude is everything . Only one has a positive attitude canhe be dynamic on his life and job . Image a student having no interests in everything , what can he do , he doesn’t want to do anything ,and then his life or even more his fate will become fade.A good attitude can make up one’s deficiency (缺点) and a bad attitude canmake advantages into disadvantages. Your attitude really determines your future,it is the key to success, It can directly affect your work and life quality . So we should keep positive to what we meet and to do our best to solve it .Because the attitude is really everything.9.What are the problems jobless workers may have? How can they overcome their difficulties?I think the unemployment reasons include the political issues, economic issues ,and personal element.With the population of the unemployment increasing, the competition of one job is becoming more and more serious. So that some people are accepted will inevitably[in'evitəbli be accompanied by more people lose their jobs. Meanwhile, with the development of science and technology, the same work needs fewer and fewer people, this is also the reason in unemployment multiply['mʌltiplai].Solution: first of all, I think they can try to engage in some other works, try those works whose technical requirement is not very high , or they can increase their knowledge accumulation, to learn something about their new not-bad works, so that they may also be obtained again .10.What kinds of employees are likely to be fired?I think the most possible person is those with low sense of responsibility, whoalways can't finish the tasks of the job, they may make the company suffered unnecessary losses sometime.And then is the person whose qualities are not very good, such as those lazy ones, those who love gossip . Maybe they've always made others be antipathetic [[,æntipə'θetik] towards themselves before they realized that. No one is willing to cooperate with these men, so finally they are likely to be fired. There are some othe rs who always make mistakes or someone that’s really unable, both of them are very likely to be fired eventually .1.What are the reasons for the growing popularity of SOHO?【【I think the most important reason that lots of people is choosing SOHO is that they can manage their own interests and hobbies to be free in choicing works, they needn’t to worry about the restriction from time, place and space.Secondly , the reason is to keep up with the fashion . SOHO has become a fashionable representation. It symbolizes a free, relaxed and comfortable life, one that can make people be free in developing their abilities and doing what they want to do .2.Name at least 5 natural disasters and try to describe the damage caused by the natural disasters?【【The natural disasters include floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, mudslides, drought, tornadoes, red tide,and so on.Destruction: the damage from natural disasters mainly have the personal safety and economic, among which the most important is the personal safety, no matter what the disaster is, it often accompany with human’s injury or even losing their lives, like the wenchuan earthquake in 2008 .Of course, natural disasters will inevitably accompany by the economic losses,either directly or indirectly . So that is my shallow understanding towards the natural disasters .3.Why do people want to improve their appearance? In what ways can people?【【Because appearance will directly affect one's work, marriage, even his success. According to a survey, three-quarters of person affirm the importance of appearance, and the facts just also shows the importance of one’s appearance.How? Firstly we need to admit that the appearance is inherent;, we can't change .A good-looking man might succeed, but a ugly m an doesn’t always fail. So, instead of not being confident with yourself, we may as well improve ourselves from the other side, for instance we can really grasp a useful technology to prepare ourselves for a better job and future, through this the method can we also finish that so-called improvement.4.What measures should we take to prevent drunken driving?【【1, carry out in-depth safety propaganda [,prɔpə'ɡændə] education activities, raise the driver's traffic safety consciousness ['kɔnʃəsnis].2, intensify(加强) the check method towards drunk drivers and to be mandatory ['mændətəri] in preventing the accidents3, we should make the family members and friends、relatives to remind the drivers, let them know clearly their responsibilities and importance. 15.“There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” What is your opinion of the proverb?We often say: "There’s no such thing as a free lunch." It means tell us, everything should have given, no pay no benefit, no pay will want to pick up cheap, and that is impossible. In fact,All success all need our own efforts.We can't pray god to give us that we want. God just give us the chance.We must seize the opportunity by myself. It's the truth.16.What would you say if your friend wants to borrow money from you?In our daily life ,we aways face some terrible troubles. Expecially , the economic problem.so others. if someone wants to borrow money from me, I will give two different answers depend on different satution. On the one hand ,when my friend exactly need money and I have spare cash at hand ,I think I will lend money to him .On the other hand ,if I am getting in the economic crisis, and running short of money too. I will feel sorry but I can only say that the spirit is willing but the body weak (that 后面这句是爱莫能助的意思).In conclusion , I want to say : if we can ,we should help others .That not only help our friend but also make us feel happy .17.What are the negative social effects of advertisements made by movie stars?There are so many disadvantages to advertising. First, the posters and billboards can block scenic views and ruin the environment. Second, people who cannot afford the advertised product may develop a sense of inferiority. Third, as often as not, ads encourage unnecessary buying. Fourth, ads usually portray youngand beautiful people.18.Do you think a good interior decoration of classrooms will help students to focus their attention? Why?For this thing,everyone has everyone's views. Maybe someone say well, and someone say it’s bed.I think a good interior decoration of classrooms will help students to focus their attention. A good interior decoration of classrooms let a person spirits.This makes the students interested in listening to the teacher carefully,not absent-minded.For teacher, they will have good mood. Their class will be better.19.What extracurricular activities can help a student land a job after graduation?For work ability, I think there are several important factors. Those are healthy,knowledge and Communicative ability. For this,we can participate in some sports’ activities, I think sports meet is very well to exercise.We can join some activities, such as debate, or to buy some things that a meeting needs. These are good to improve our own ability and quality.20.Suggest at least three ways to cheer up a classmate in low spirits.Relax. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Happiness is largely a choice. Feel gratitude for all of the good in your life.You must learn to how to play, enjoy yourself.Listen to music, play music, let your mind to be quiet.Find a hobby you love. Engage in pleasurable activities, like me, I like watching movie and sleeping, it will make me forget all trouble.Topics for Debate (3-4 minutes)1.What do you think people will choose: a low-paid job one likes, or a boring well-paid job?Candidate 1: I think that many people prefer to find a job that they really like. Candidate 2: I think that some people may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their heart.I think many people prefer to find a job that they really like. After all, most people want to enjoy themselves rather than have plenty of money without a sense of achievement and happiness. On the other hand, some people may choose a well-paid job instead of a job close to their heart to earn more money. If one is in serious financial difficulty, one can hardly afford the luxury of a dream job. Money is the top priority.2. Should different cultures integrate or keep their own characteristics? Candidate 1: I think that different cultures should integrate during the trend toward globalization.Candidate 2: I think that diversified cultures make our world more interesting and colorful.First, Merging into of will make the culture to have multi-faceted, best illustrate, such as American culture Canadian culture and native culture difference. Secondly, why this multi-faceted will benefit. Of course, bad also have, that is aboutto explain why advantages disadvantages. Or examples such as the United States and other western developed countries give full play to the advantage of the strong in culture. China is also on its way.Finally, the full analysis maintain their feature in the disadvantages and shortcomings than it tries to explain the advantages. Best explanation of the world's cultures is the trend of fusion, not independence.A well-integrated nation can better keep the unity and stability of the country. People in some countries dislike foreigners or ethnic minorities to behave in different ways. They prefer foreigners to be assimilated.From the saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”, we know local people expect foreigners to conform to local customs.From the phrase “Immigration and Naturalization (归化) Service” used in America, it seems foreigners are unnatural and should become naturalized citizens.Those who behave differently are more likely to be subject to racial attacks.The trend toward globalizations encourages international exchanges and integration of cultures.In favor of diversification:If all nations integrated into one, the world would be monotonous.The world is interesting and colorful because of its diversified cultures. Multiculturalism encourages tolerance and understanding among diverse groups in a society, thus promoting stability and development.All ethnic groups should be allowed to maintain their unique characteristics. To achieve this, the Chinese government has adopted a series of favorable policies for ethnic minorities.3. What kind of boss would you like to work for: one who is inefficient but kind, or one who is efficient but very strict with employees?Candidate 1: I think that many people, if not most, prefer to work for a kind, good-natured boss.Candidate 2: I think that some people, including me, will choose to work for a boss who is capable but very strict with his subordinates.Many people, if not most, prefer to work for a kind, good-natured boss. Under such a boss, they feel secure and happy. The boss won't scold employees simply because they have made a small mistake. He will also be generous. It is true that sometimes because of his lack of ability, his company may not reap huge profits, and employees can hardly get a raise. But happiness is surely more important than money. However, some people, including me, will choose to work for a boss who is capable but very strict with his subordinates. If the boss is capable, he will lead the company to one new height after another. When the company thrives, all employees will benefit. Even if the boss may give an employee a severe dressing-down for something he or she did, the employee can learn a lesson from the event. Under such a boss, employees can gain valuable experience, which may serve as a good foundation for them to start a business of their own in the future.4. Which do you prefer, Chinese movies or foreign movies? Why?Candidate 1: Occasionally I do enjoy seeing a foreign movie.Candidate 2: I feel more at home with Chinese movies.my answer is Chinese Movies.reasons below:As we know ,every excellent movie has its special background , if u have known it very well ,then it is helpful for us to grasp the real sentiment the movie intend to express.otherwise,u might cannot seeing into it at all.i mean the comprehension of the culture that the movie involved in is very important .So i am chinese , i know Chinese culture very well ,So when i watch a Chinese Movie, i feel good ,at least i prefer Chinese movie at present, maybe oneday when i learns foreign culture very well , i gonna prefer foreign movies 2.i believe every culture has its attraction and glorious.It is my presonal opinion .As a young man,I wanched a lot movies,both Chinese movies and foreign ones,but the latter is my favourite.let me tell you why foreign movies attract me more,first,their drama is better,the story is thrill and suspensive,more like a story;additionally,there are much more famous movies and movie stars in foreign countries,like America;the last thing is I wanna improve my English by watch a lot of foreigh movies.so,I prefer foreign movies to Chinese movies.5. Do you think a girl should share the expenses or let the boy pay the bill? Candidate 1: I think it is natural that some girls no longer want men to pick up the check.Candidate 2: I think that the normal pattern is that the boy pays the bill. Depend on the personality. someboy in his mind, it is shameful to pay by his girl. But it seems a boy like is less and less. Girls doesn't mind to share the cost on a date, which means she can relax and feel free at the most.no !!in my eyes ,a pair of lovers,.if you date,you shouldn't pay for everything,just a heart .the heart of your love for herIn the past, the normal pattern was that men worked, while women did not. Thus, it was natural for men to pay. Things have changed now. A certain level of equality between men and women has achieved, so it is natural that some girls no longer want men to pick up the check. Instead, they prefer to share or “Go Dutch.” to show that they are equal to males6. What do you think is the most important factor that leads you to buy something: price, quality, brand name or style?Candidate 1: As a student, I am not rich. When I go shopping, I may choose price and style over quality and brand name.Candidate 2: When I do shopping, I consider quality and brand name first. Quality of course.Quality is one of the most important part that I will take into consideration when buying something.It stands for the fame of a certain product. The quality of product directly affects every aspects of our life. For example, the quality of the food may have an impact on one's health; the quality of the book may influence our eyesight.May be you need it . But when people feel unhappy she tends to buy something uselesrWhat you see there is a desire to buy. Mabay you need it .After the temptation to see ,Because it looks very beautiful and the quality is Good .If I have to pick one between these two, I gonna say price.It is the first factor I consider when I plan to buy sth7. Nowadays, drunken drivers are bound to be punished by being sent into jails. What do you think about it?Candidate 1: I think this practice can definitely prohibit drunken driving. Candidate 2: I think this punishment is not strong enough to stop drunken driving.8. Is there a relationship between reason and emotion? Which plays a bigger role in our lives?Candidate 1: I think that reason plays a bigger role.Candidate 2: I think that emotion plays a bigger role.Both reason and emotion are important in our lives. Although they are obviously different from each other, they complement each other just the same. Think about it, it is difficult to isolate reason from emotion and vice versa. When one is arguing, one is combining logic with feelings. When a speaker is advocating a principle, the feeling he puts into his voice reinforces his argument. When scientists conduct researches, they may choose an area that is interesting to them. Darwin studied science because he had been fascinated by plants and animals since his childhood. However, in some areas either reason or emotion may play a bigger role. Science students may need more logic than emotion to conduct experiments, while art students tend to rely more on their emotion for creativity. Within a family, people usually cherish the emotional ties between family members. Emotion could be more important than reason when falling in love or trusting a member of one's family, whereas reason plays an important role when deciding how to educate a child. Together or separate, reason and emotion play critically important roles in our lives. What do you think? Or feel?9. When a boss employs or promotes people, what may be the chief consideration: their education or their practical ability?Candidate 1: I think that one’s educational background is not unimportant. Candidate 2: I think that most bosses may probably attach more importance to the candidate’s ability.If I wanted to launch a business, I would consider all of these factors, for they all play an indispensable role. First of all, I would consider my ability. Since I majored in biology, I would be cautious in starting a company to sell something I am not familiar with such as building materials or DVDs. With my educational background, I may find it easier to run a company selling bio-tech products. The next thing I would have to take into account, is the money available. Suppose the establishmentof a company required a capital of a million dollars, I would try to see whether I could get a loan. If not, I would give up the idea and try to set up a smaller service company that required less capital. Last but not least, I would survey the market to see if the products I planned to deal with could be sold. If they were unmarketable, I had better give up the idea of founding a company in this area. If they sold well, then I would go ahead.In fact, most bosses will consider both, though they may probably attach more importance to the candidate's ability. After all, a company's profits come directly from the abilities of the entire staff. Many of the qualities of a good worker such as diligence, teamwork, loyalty to the company, and courtesy to customers are gained through on-the-job training rather than from book knowledge.10. Stores are closed in the evenings and on weekends in many Western countries, while they are normally open in China. Which system do you prefer? Why? Candidate 1: I think that the weekend is meant for people to have a rest and the employees at stores, post offices and so on all deserve a rest.Candidate 2: I think if all stores are closed, it can be inconvenient for many people, especially those in double-income households.In my opinion, each system has its advantages and disadvantages. The weekend is meant for people to have a rest, and the employees at stores, post offices, government departments, schools and so on all deserve a rest. The two-day weekend was won after centuries of demands for workers' rights. If one store breaks the rules and stays open on the weekend, it will do unusually good business, but this is unfair competition. If people can enjoy proper rest over the weekends, they can work more vigorously during the weekdays.However, if all stores are closed, this can be inconvenient for many people, especially those in double-income households. If a small proportion of the population, that is those in the service industry, work on weekends, most people will enjoy their weekends even more. On the whole, I am in favor of the current Chinese system.。

What are the differences between Chinese and American learning ways? Which one do you prefer, why? Chinese learning way is show children exactly what to do or how to do, and teaching by holding children’s hand. American learning way is making children learn to think by himself, to solve problems on his own and even to discover new problems, for which creative solutions are wanted. It’s value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. In my perspective, I prefer tradition Chinese learning way. There are two reasons for it. First, children can come back for more and happier. He can know the solution immediately and learn effetely. Second, I was taught by this tradition Chinese way, and I think my learning ability is well now. 2. How do you comment on Karl Green's way of life? Give your reasons. Karl Green lives in a modest apartment, wears suitable cloth and has a dependable 1999 car. Though he is not rich, his life is colorful.

He writes poetry and shares it with friends. And he has many friends in the same hobbies. Third, he is devoting himself to charity. He rings the bell for the people who need help. He helps a lot of people and feels connect. He is psychological satisfaction. 3. What do you think causes the generation gap, and how to solve this problem? Several reasons can account for this common phenomenon. Firstly, the gap between parents and teenagers is a little big. That’s to say, parents are mutual and old-fashioned while teenagers are quite active,passive and in style. Therefore, it’s normal that parents and teenagers are both very hard to find the common language. Second, the most important reason is that parents and teenagers are usually not trying to understand each other. Just like Heidi’s father get with on his children. Thirdly, the children want to 可复制、编制,期待你的好评与关注!

have a family meeting and exchange each side’s opinion, communicating and to have an agreement. Parents can also observe their children’s behavior in order to understand their children’s personality and reduce the quarrels between them. In conclusion, to have a close relationship between parents and children, it is rather important for each side to respect and understand another. 4. What do you do on the Internet nowadays? Do you think Internet has changed your life for the better? Why or why not? There is a big influence of technique on our daily life. I use internet to do some shopping, and chat with friends through QQ. It's convenient to search the information online. I take the view that the Internet has changed our life for the better. The Internet is freely available, universal communication. It is access to all the knowledge and learning of the entire world. It is an instant, free service which provides you with news, media, and knowledge, no matter where you go or what you do. The Internet affects everyone in the same way - it gives them more tools for faster communication, gives them more knowledge for smarter decisions, and gives them more people for a greater social network. These are all good things. Of course internet has some disadvantages, as it is a tool for quickly spreading misinformation, fear, and lies.In conclusion, we should take the advantage of the benefit of the Internet while avoiding negative effects. 5. What roles do dreaming and hard work play in one’s success? Give some examples to explain. Dreaming is our hope ,it can lead us to know what to do, and then one must work hard to aim at what himself need, so that one can be a successful person. Land work is of great importance for a man to do everything. Do you know Nick? A man who was born without neither arms nor legs due to a rare disorder, he is disabled, unable to hug people, held someone’s hand, dance, walk, ran, or even touch. But he had a dream, he wants to do everything as a healthy man can, he tried very hard to achieve his dream, he learned to write using the two toes on his left foot, learned how to type on a computer, throw tennis balls, swim, and pretty much everything he needs for mobility. Finally, he succeeds.
