研究生英语口语考试题目及参考

Topics for Discussion1.Does “moving up the economic ladder” mean success? Why or why not? What other things do you thinkcan mean success?No, Many people believe that a large income means success. But in my opinion, that success is more than money, and there are more gauges of success, such as fame, respect, and knowledge.Most people assume that famous people are rich, but that isn’t always true. For example, many scientists are not rich by today’s standards, but they are successful in their fields. Addit ionally, there are many famous statesmen who are not rich. The late premier Zhou En Lai was one. Certainly, no one would say he was not successful.I also believe that being respected by others indicates success. Without the respect, money means little. Fo r example, I once worked in a restaurant. The boss made a very good income, but he wasn’t a nice man. No one ever did work for him willingly. He ordered everyone around, but we didn’t respect him. In contrast, I had an English teacher in high school. He had to take extra jobs to make enough money to support his family. However, we had great respect for him and always listened to what he said. As a result, we were a top class in English. In my opinion, my English teacher was more successful than my boss at the restaurant.Finally, I think one of the most important indicators of success is knowledge. For example, Qian Zhong-Shu, one of the world’s best-known writers, had a broad horizon and profound knowledge. He wrote the best-selling novel A surrounded City, which has been translated into 80 languages and published in almost all parts of the world. In my opinion, he was extremely successful.When we look back in history, there are few people that we remember them because of their rich. Overall, we remember people who did something with their lives. They were influential in their own lives or contributed to society. If history is the ultimate judge of success, then money surely isn’t everything.2.What is your attitude toward the spread of surveillance technology?The surveillance technology is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it can bring us the safety and convenience. For example，in the supermarket, the camera can tak e videos to record the people’s behavior. It ensure the safety of the goods and allows people carrying their own bags to go shopping. And the radioes can be an evidence if some cases occur. On the other hand, the abuse of surveillance technology will be a threat to privacy of people. Just like in the ATM, the thief install a microcamera to record the code of credit card, and stole money. And if there are lots of cameras on the street or in a room, it will make people in fear of security and even cause to a panic.In my opinion, the use of the surveillance technology should be under the control of the country and thelaw. The surveillance of surveillance technology is most important.3.To make the earth a better place to live on, what responsibility should be taken by every one of us?We should live a low-carbon life.The Earth left our so rich energy ,but because of the development of the world industrial economy, the fast increase of population, our living environment is become more and more worse, for example, the resources reduce, water pollution becomes worse.The environment is seriously under threat and it is our responsibility to live a low-carbon lifestyle to protect our planet. Firstly, we should recognize that low-carbon life is not only a kind of life style but also life attitude. Each of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions.Low-carbon life needs everyone’s participation. Secondly, we should develop good habits in our daily lives. For example ,we can ride bicycles instead of driving cars. Also, we should turn off lights when we are not using them. Students should use both sides of the paper in their notebooks. These are just some of the things we can do to live a low-carbon lifestyle.We only have one planet and we must do all act now to save it from further pollution●Reducing the pollution and saving the resources,●Dealing with the rubbish, especially some electronic products like used batteries，mobilephone,computer and so on. There are some harmful metals in them, which will damage to the soil and water.●Another way to reduce the pollution is selecting a green way to travel,in order to decrease the car’snumber on the road and reduce the air pollution.Saving the resources require us to use recyclable things, do not waste energy and papers.4.What might be the benefits and risks of plastic surgeries in modern society? Would you try on any ofthem? Why or why not? [医]double-fold eyelids●The first benenfit of plastic surgeries is to improve someone’s appearance and mental outlook. A goodlook will make someone brave and confident to face the difficulties and challenges. Another benefit is that the surgeries can heal the damage of disfigured people suffering a fire or car accident. The surgeries can help them to recover their appearance, and send them to the normal life.●But all the surgeries have their risks, and having the plastics surgeries doesn’t mean that you canbecome beautiful. Sometimes it will make an unnatural and sick appearance. What’s worse, sometimes the failure of the surgeries cause the complications, leaving a scar in the skin or even leading to death.●In my opinion, ordinary people don’t need the plastic surgeries. The power and beauty are from what webelieve in, not what we look like. The benefit from beauty of appearance will not last forever, only the beauty of soul can be accepted by other people.5.Do you think manners are important in our daily life? Why or why not? Can you give some examples ofgood manners in the modern society?●It’s no doubt that the manners are important. Good manners make someone polite and friendly, and hewill be accepted easily. The good manners can make other people feel comfortable and let people become closer to each other. Sometimes the rude behaviors from others will make you unhappy or even angry. Sometimes the rude means to selfish because the rude people don’t consider to others’ feelings.●There are many examples of good manners. Such as in the subway or bus station, let the passenger getoff first, and offer your seat to the old people; open the door for other people especially women; get someone’s help and give a smile and thanks in return.6.Do you think you can increase happiness by learning some happiness skills? And how?●Yes of course. In my opinion, happiness is just like air, they’re always around us, but usually wedon’t notice them. But if we have learnt some skills,we will find the existense of happines with no doubt .what we need is to discover it.●First , find out the aim of the future. Trying to get it and become closer to it. The way to the successis filled up with happiness.●Secondly , we need friends. The good friends can share you with happiness and sadness, discusswith each other, teach each other, friends can help us to do sth we can’t do by ourselves. It’s important to have friends. When we give our friends a hand, or get some helps from them, the happiness is increased.●At last ,we should realise that happiness don’t only mean some happy memories. sth sad, exciting, orjust normal can increase the happiness. Just like the exam, the preparation before the examination always left a deeper impression than the entertainment after the exam.。

Lesson 1 listening1A: how do you think the transport system in our city could be improved.B: I think that the roadbuilding system could be made simpler. I never know where the bus routesactually go. The routes seem to twist and turn rather than going roughly in a straight line.A: I think we just need to build more roads. Then there would be more spacefor cars to drive and we‟d have fewer traffic jams.B: if we built more roads, people would just fill them with cars again. I think we shou ld discourage people from using their cars.A; how would you do that?B; I think we should do a few things at once. Improving roadbuilding would encourage people to use that. If we also charge people to usetheir cars in the city centre, they won‟t use their cars as much.A; I don‟t know. I think it‟s unfair to make drivers pay more money. Theyalready pay a lot of tax-petrol tax, for example.B; I think that they should pay more tax. Look at the damage they cause to the enviro nment and people‟s health by discharging all those exhaust fumes.A; the air would certainly be cleaner if there were fewer cars being used in the city. T he problem is that people will see it as reducing their freedom. It wellbe unpopular.B; that‟s a good point. Car owners will probably be against it, but people who use roa d building will be in favor of it.A: do you think we should travel by bus or by train?B;it‟s a difficult choice. The train is a litter faster, but much more expensive.A; we could face delays if we travel by bus, thanks to traffic jams.B; buses are more cramped and you can‟t walk around.A; that‟s true, but I feel that I see more when I travel by bus.B; really? I think you see more traveling by train.A:so, which form of transport do you prefer to use?B:I prefer going by train, ever though it costs more.A:ok them. We‟ll go by train. I‟m sure we‟ll have a good journey. Shall we go to the s tation and buy the tickets?B: the train aren‟t usually full. We can get them on the day we travel. We should buy return ticket because they are much cheaper than getting two singles.A; we should take a packed lunch on the journey. The food they sell on the trains is al ways expensive.Lesson 1 listening2A:cough,cough,cough......B:Are you ok?A:Yeah,I‟m fine.I wa s just a little allergic to the dust in the air.B:I‟m sorry to hear that.Nowadays,the environment around us is becoming worse and worse.A:Yeah,water pollution ,air pollution,global warming and so on,all of them are the results of human‟s unfriendly behav iors to our earth.B:um...The river has been polluted in our hometown. The water was so clean that we could see many fishes in the river.But now the water is yellow and smells bad.What‟s the most terrible is that there is no fish in the river.A:Oh ,That‟s too awful!B:It must have an influence on the life of the villagers arround.We should take some measures to protect our environment.A:It happens that we are doing some researches on the pollution of the Xiangjiang River.Do you have any idea about it?B:Polluted water is a great danger to our health.I think the research is very meaningful.We can visit some factories along the river.A:Good idea!Because factories always pollute the environment by pouring waste water directly into the river.B:We can also borrow some books on this topic.A:Ok,Let‟s go to the library now.Lesson 1 readingPresenting a speechV: Hello SophiaS: Hi VivianV: What‟s up? You look so upset.S: Next week I need to present a speech, but I don‟t think I am good at it . Ca n you give me some suggestions?V: Sure.

V: First, you should know how to use language accurately, clearly, vividly and appropriately.S: Yes. When I am not sure, I look up the word in a dictionary, and I try to use familiar words that are known to the average person. However, the language is not vivid enough to bring my speech to life.V: One way to make your language more vivid is through imagery or the creation of word pictures. And the strong supporting materials are also need to bolster the speaker‟s point of view.S: Yes, you are right. I can use some examples, statistics and testimony to make my viewpoint more convincing. Besides, for delivering it, do you have some good suggestions?V: You can play PowerPoint and video in your speech to draw audience‟s attention. S: Thank you ,your advices are very useful for me.V: Oh, if you dress more beautiful, act more confident and use your humor in that day,your speech can be more effective.

2 Explain the saying: she is a walking dictionary活字典That means she know a lot；she have a large stock of information and knowledge。

1.Please talk about your consuming habits with concrete examples. Do you preferthe old brands or the new ones? And why? And also explain how you usually manage your money.刘:Today we’re going to talk about consuming habits.As consumers,we need to buy many brands of goods.how do you make a choice when you consuming?Do you prefer the old brands or the new ones? And why?王：Compared with the new brands, I prefer to buy some old brands. The main reason is that I have been accustomed to use the products I have been using. In addition, the quality of old brands are reliable.朱：I’m afraid I can’t agree with you. I always choose some new brands instead of old brands. I think the new brands may increase more functions than the old ones. That’s To say ,new brands are better than the old brands in the terms of quality.刘：What you said is reasonable. But I prefer the old brands than the new ones. Then, how do you usually manage your money?王：I usually make a spending plan and budget before buying anything. In addition, I also take accord of each a sum of money. Only by this way can I know all the money where are used and control the cost to achieve the management of money.2Please introduce the educational system in China briefly. Do you think academic excellence will necessarily lead to success in the real life? If not, what else do you need?刘：As we all known ,China has adopted a nine-year compulsory schooling system ,which means all children are required to attend school for at least nine years. Higher education is only for those students who have passed the examination for admission to universities. University education is very important for a person and a country, so most of people think highly of university education.王：Really ,we have to admit, to a large extent, elite education promotes the development of country and person. However, in my perspective, some people misunderstand it , and it makes little or no difference to whether or not he or she is successful in other areas of life. What’s your opinion ,Zhujiahua ?朱：I agree with you. For example, without work-related experience, a higher degree can not realize one’s aspiration. There is no exaggeration in saying that a graduate is still a freshman in society with no-working experience and can not survive in this complicated community.刘：In my perspective, the determining factors in the final success of one’s career is his ability. Only the true ability will lead to the ultimate success and the high degree doesn’t necessarily equal to high ability.王：Yeah, I can’t agree more with you. So academic excellence isn’t equal to success in the real life. We should look at education objectively. Everyone has the power and possibility to achieve success. In a word, we should take a rational and objective attitude about the education system of our country.3What does happiness mean to you? Please explain your understanding of it, and the road to happiness.朱：Moning , teather . Today we will talk about the happiness . Everyone has their own definition of happiness. So, 王，What does happiness mean to you?王：Happiness is what everyone always pursues .A lot of people envy the happiness of others , but ignore the happiness of their own. Some believe what they can’t get or haven’t got is happiness. In my eyes, happiness is just a feeling from heart. Actually, it is always in our side, just not easy to be found. What about you ,刘？刘：You are right ! From my perspective, happiness means every time I go back home calling mom and dad, I can get response .Happiness is when I am in bad mood, my fri ends can give me a big embrace. Happiness is when I am in trouble, someone can tell me go ahead strongly, everything will be all right.朱：Certainly ，both of you are right ! Life is not what other people's thinking, but is your inside feeling. Do you know how to get happiness? Let's discuss this issue. First of all , I think health is the key to happiness. Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life王：Yes.We should try to keep health by doing some exercise every day. Besides, In my opinion , happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress. Thus ,we need to try to enjoy what you have and don’t long for what you can not obtain.刘：Additional,the hope is the way that you pursue in your life. You can not have a dream beyond your reach but you must always have hope and try to make it come true. In sum,you will feel happy if you try to keep these in your mind.朱，王：Yes, certainly!4What’s your understanding of beauty? What do you think of plastic surgery?Would you like to have one? What are the benefits and possible risks of plastic surgery?朱：Moning , teather . Beauty is God-given, but everyone wants to have a perfect face，and the development of science and technology and the change of the ideas created the conditions for plastic surgery. In recent years, more and more people, especially some young girls choose to take plastic surgeries.王，What do you think of plastic surgery?王：In my opinion , I do believe that plastic surgery bring people beauty ,confidenceand benefit for ones who need it. Here I mean the ones who need it. I t just can’t be denied .But at the same time ,there is no doubt that disadvantages can also be found in it .刘：Yes ,you are right! On one hand, plastic surgery costs people a lot. Many people can’t afford the huge charge of it , thus may causing people’s breaking up with their families . At the same time , there is a high risk in plastic surgery. The government figures shows that many people have become the victim of plastic surgery in the past 10 years. They don’t become beautiful as they once dreamed ,but unfortunately, become ugly opposite['ɑpəzət].朱：Wow ，that’s so terrible ! It is not advisable for people to take plastic surgeries. 王：Yes，we can get what we want by improving our inner qualities, such as our personality and ability, and there is no need to endure the pains and economic loss of a plastic surgery.刘：Certainly, the natural beauty plays a more and more important role in our real life. Though , plastic surgery can fix a person's body and improve a person's life, but it can't replace it just like all the other things. Your fortune is in your hand, and just do your best to seize it!5Do you like reading literature? Who is your favorite? Why do you like him/her?May you please introduce one of his/her works to us?朱：Moning , teather . Our topic is my favorite writer. So ，王，do you like reading literature in your sparetime ?王：(海伦凯勒，假如给我三天光明)Do you know the book If I had the power of sight for 3 days? It was written by an American writer. Her name is Helen Keller. Because of illness, she became blind and deaf when she was only 19 months old. Even worse, it was so difficult for her to speak because she couldn’t hear. Luckily, her parents didn’t give up. Soon Helen learnt to explore the world by using her other senses. Before her seventh birthday, a tutor called Anne Sullivan came. With the help of Anne, Helen learnt to smile to life. And then she grew up to become a world-famous writer and public speaker. Later, many books were written about her and lots of plays and films were made about her life. Her unusual story made me moved. And it taught me to be braver and more confident in the life.刘：I want to tell something about a legendary woman named Sanmao. Do you know her? She is my favorite writer. In my eyes, she was a rare extraordinary woman, who had the courage of the explorers, the romance of the travelers and the quality of the artists. Here are some of her works. <Plays hooky for Studies》, 〈Lonely Long-distance race〉, 〈Sob Camel》,《Back》, 《Straw Manpower Records》, 《Delivers You a Horse》Her works deals mainly with her own experiences studying and living abroad. And her stories are always vivid and moving. She herself was just a legend. However, she chose to kill herself with a pair of silk stockings in Taibei in 1991. She didn't give any reasons so a lot of people didn't believe that's a suicide. But for me, I think Sanmaowas a special woman, she had different attitude toward life. Her limited life was much more colorful than others who can live longer. There must be her reasons for her to choose suicide. Anyway that may be a great chance for her to meet her darling Jose again.朱：(徐志摩，再别康桥)I’ve read all kinds of books which are written by many famous writers from all over the world. But I like a Chinese writer best. His name is Xu Zhimo. Xu Zhimo still kept on reading in all his life, because he always believed that “Reading makes a full man, a ready man and an exact man.”In his time, not only Chinese but also people from other countries worshiped Xu Zhimo. His writing was enjoyed by all the people. Everybody thought that Xu’s works were s o nice and great. From his writing, people can understand a lot. I have learnt that if someone wants to be a great person, he must work hard!Now, let’s enjoy one of Xu’s verses:On Leaving Cambridge Again Quietly I leave, Just as I quietly come, I quietly wave, Saying goodbye to the bright clouds of the western sky.6Do you think English is a global language? Why or why not? And please state why you should study English and how to learn it well.朱: Moning , teather . Our topic is English as a global language . As we known, we have learn English for many years. So , 王, do you think English is a global language?王: I think English is a global language. People all over the world use to communicate, and that it is gradually replacing other languages. When people need a common language , they often use English .Think about it . English is often used at tourist information centers, in international hotels, at airports, and international sports events. 刘: Well ,I don’t agree with your opinion .There are about three times as many people who speak Chinese as their first language . And people all over the world may use some English for work or other situations. Nevertheless , this doesn’t mean they are fluent in English . They still use their first language for daily communication. English is not their main language. Exactly , I think it’s safe to say that English is a common language in the world ,which is the dominant language of business, travel, and science .朱: Certainly , what you have stated are indeed very reasonable. Besides, every year about 1 billon people study English , which also support that the English is a global language . Why do so many people learn English , they don’t use them all day ?王: Many people study English for all reasons. For example, someone want to be in international business , someone just think it will be helpfull in the future. In sum , people want and need to learn English because it offers them opportunities.刘: Yeah ! In order to study further knowledge , we----the younger generation ,need to learn it well.And the best way to improve our English is to improve our English skills-listening,speaking, reading ,and writing. Don’t you think so ?朱，王: Yes , obsolutely.7Do you like watching TV? What programs do you like most? Please describe your favorite TV program and then talk about the advantages and disadvantages of watching TV.王: Nowadays, TV is a popular entertainment tool which is favored by all people around the world. With a television connected to some channels such as CCTV, we can easily access available programs that surely matches our own hobbies. So ,朱，what TV programs do you like most ?朱：In terms of my interests, I concern about life of wild animals, and like the beauty of nature in remote places, as well as want to improve my English skills by listening to records spoken in English; therefore, “Discovery” seems to be the most favorite TV program to me. In the first place, usually watching “Discovery” will help us to have wide knowledge about wild nature in all over the place .Besides, “Discovery” deserves to be one of the best TV program for people to improve their English skills, especially listening skills. And how about you ,liushan?Well, News Report is my favourite TV programme. From this programme I learn what is going on in the world. The programme tells me important news of the day about our city, our country and the world. With this News Report availabe at any time of the day, I can get well informed, and can have a lot to talk about with my friends. In other words, I prefer News Report to any other programme on TV, and it is part of my life, for sure.华哥，上面两个，你自己选一个哈。

Let's look at the results，no one all choose "no" ,I think Our lifestyle is a bit unhealthy. Do you agree?2：I agree，actually, staying up late, drinking too much alcohol, eating too much, staying at home, and extreme personality seem to be the labels of our generation.3：Yes，Most young people believe the youth means craziness, it is not the right time to go to bed at 22:00, but the very time to start the night life.4：But，I've seen a survey，1. More than half of the middle school students are short-sighted.2. Young people are at an increasing risk of cancer. 3.The rate of teenager crime is on the rise. It is sounds so bad. Right?5：Yes. But the current society is becoming more and more competitive. Young people are under increasing pressure at work. This leaves them with no time to focus on health issues.6：As we can see, most of the young people live an unhealthy lifestyle. It's so terrible! But what is a healthy lifestyle?1：In my opinion, A healthy lifestyle is a healthy behavior. It includes two aspects: physical health and mental health. Physical health includes eating healthy and keeping exercise，Mental health includes a good mood and a positive attitude . The core of healthy management is to form a good living habit. The aim is to stay away from disease, prolong life, improve productivity and deliver positive energy.2：I think self-discipline is important. The healthy lifestyle is to cultivate the initiative in people themselves. The concept of lifestyle management is to emphasize theindividual's responsibility for their own health, self-discipline and control of their inner bad desires, and to restrain themselves according to the healthy life plan. For a long time, people have made their own health plans and consciously followed them. Because it is usually boring, they usually give up halfway. With the rise of the Internet,.We can use some APPs to help us manage our lives.3：I agree, and then I think we should do exercise. Only after exercise can you understand how much heat you need, and then control your diet. As we all know, people who exercise regularly do not get sick easily, so do exercise is good for our health. Although we have too much homework to do, we should also find time to exercise every day. I believe everyone will fall in love with sports in a short time.4：I think science diet is most important. Although we may be attracted by the taste of fast food, fast food is bad for our health. For the sake of our health, we should refuse to eat fast food. It is necessary to keep a balanced diet if we want to keep healthy. We'd better eat enough vegetables which contain rich vitamin, proper meat is needed, too. Avoid fried or toasted food, it is important.5：I think we should also control drink too much alcohol. If people drink too much alcohol, firstly，People's emotions will out of control，secondly，People will forget important things，thirdly，People will do some things what they will regret，finally，the next morning will be very uncomfortable. These disadvantages of drinking tell us to drink in moderation. Although sometimes you may be asked to drink a lot of alcohol by your friends, we should stand firm.6：In addition, I think keeping a good attitude is one of the important conditions for staying healthy. When we meet with difficulties, we should face them positively. When we encounter something sad, we should quickly adjust our mood. keeping a positive attitude is good for people’s physical and mental health. Laugh at life and keep smiling, when we are in a good mood, we will reduce our chances of getting sick. It will make our life more beautiful. Keeping high mood is good for mentally health. To enjoy our beautiful life, we must be bound to keep healthy.1、2、3、4、5：I agree.。
