Give your reasons.Yes, I do.Because we are living in an unsafe world.Misfortunes such as illness, injury and even death can happen to us any time.I believe that buying insurance is the best way to prepare myself against such misfortunes.No, I don't.I think buying health insurance is just a waste of money.I enjoy very good health, so insurance is unnecessary for me.5、What do you think about the medical care in your university?I think it's pretty good.The school hospital is equipped with modern equipment and staffed with highly qualified doctors and nurses who are always very friendly.The school has purchased health insurance for us, so we don't have to worry about the medical expenses.I don't like the medical care in our university.The hospital is so small, and there is often a long line of students waiting for medical treatment.In addition, some doctors and nurses are not so friendly to us.第二篇：大学英语视听说口语考试十个话题!In my opinion,I think college students should not followfashion trend.First of all,college students don’t have the competent to pay for it,because it will always take a lot of money to follow fashion trend.And if we follow fashion trend blindly,the burden of our parents will increase.What’s more,some students like to compare with others.If one of them follows fashion trend,the rest of them will do it,too,because of their vanity.As far as I am concerned,fashion trend depends on ourselves.If we think it is g ood,that’s all right.We don’t need to follow anything,don’t waste money to do anything that do not make sense.Nowadays many college students like to buy big brands.In my opinion,I think it is not a good phenomenon.First of all,big brands are always very expensive,and we will spend a lot of money to buy them.However we don’t have the competent to pay for them.So we ask our parents for money.It will increase the burden of our parents.It is not easy for our parents to earn mony.We shoud not waste money to buy big brands.What’s more,buying big brands will make a bad effect.You buy big brands,I will buy them,too,because of our vanity.I think we should not pursue big brands and big brands are not always high quality.We can buy something good with a lower price.Tha t’s will be great.Big brands do not make sense.My favorite type of movie is comedy.When I am sad,it can make me burst into laughter,though when I am happy,it can make me feel edy can affect our mood and make us feel relax.Watching comedy usually makes a good atmosphere,so I think it is compatible for family to watch and have a nice time.My favorite comedy is kungfu.It is very interesting and it shows us that justice is always the winner.We should be a good person and do something helpful to other people,even to our edy is not on the surface.It can tell us how to be agood and helpful person.I like comedy.My favorite band is Mayday.Mayday is a popular band from Taiwan,with five good man,the lead singer Axin,the team leader and guitarist monster,the drummer Guanyou,the guitarist stone and bass player masha.They have millions of fans around the world and they creat many records.They are full of positive energy.And their songs encourage many people to do what they want to and persue their dreams,make them reality.They are example.When I was preparing for the university entrance exam,I was too tired to study.It was their songs that gave me energy to go on.Then I went to NAU.They also teach us to cherish the things we have and be contentment,so that we can live a happy life and less complaining.They are really a good band.I love them very much.When I consider a boy to be my boyfriend,he must be,first of all,a nice guy.He should be kind,dependable,honest and responsible.He should also be a good listener,especially listen to what I am talking about,even my complaining.Because I am not a careful girl.I think he should be considerate,so that he can give me compatible and good advice.He should be humorous.When I am not happy,he can tell me jokes to make me laugh.I think he should like sports.It’s good for his health and make hin a sunshine boy.He should have light and wram smile.If I love a boy at first sight,It is must because of his attractive smile.Well, among the movies I’ve watched this year, TINY TIMES may be the best, I perceive.It presents a solid opinion about the relationship that is confronted with love and finance.And it well points to the root of people’s suffering in this profit-first society, and illustrates a farewell image of Shanghai’s luxurious centre.With reference to the best actress, I think YANGMI may be the queen.She gave a totally emotional performance to the audience, making everyoneat the scene experience what the real friendship is, and who you are to give your heart and soulWell, from the positive side, I have to say that advertisements is , to some extent ,a good thing.Because it has enabled the potential consumers to know what the company is selling and they has more options when buying stuffs.And it is undeniable that advertisements have done a lot to boost the production, which stimulates the growth of the economy.But there is some immerits of advertisements still, it may mislead consumers sometimes, and even results in the decay of consumers’ rights.So I think product placements have both merits and immerits, in my oppinion.From the positive side, certainly the placements have done a good job of advertising a product, just through the way of a special scene, and meanwhile leaving a good impression among the audience.But from the opposite side, can you imagine the feeling that when you’re happily appreciating a film, then the bloody lousy placements appears, totally ruined your good mood and make you complain? Consequently this may let an audience hate the company and never buy these products.I think one can find true love through the Internet.Internet is a way to know each other.Through the Internet they talk about their hobbies and life.Then they can find they have many common interests and views.So they keep communication and share their sadness and ter they fall in love with each other and have many face-to-face dates.They get along well in reality.Finally they get married.It’s a truth around me.I think Internet is just a beginning.Really dates is necessary.Though we can find true love through the Internet,finding true love in reality is better.I still remember the day when I sang in public for the first time.I was ten years old anda little shy.That day was a fine day,we represented our school to join a singing contest.I was nervous,because I was one of the lead singers and it was my first time to sing in public.My teacher enrourged me and told me not to be nervous,relaxing.We stood on the stage.My heart bit faster and my face turned to red.Music played.I looked at the conductor and began to sing,sank into the music,did not see the audience.Finally we got a good result.第三篇：高级英语视听说口语考试话题及说明2011-2012(1)高级英语视听说口语考试说明各位同学，1.本学期期末口语考试安排于第十七周上课时间进行；2.考试方式采取学生分小组讨论的方式进行，因此在考试前请同学们按照已有的做presentation的分组进行期末口语考试话题的准备；3.学生小组汇报后，老师根据学生小组所准备的内容进行相关提问；4.考试话题共8个，每个小组需对全部话题进行准备，考试时临时抽取话题；5.考试时间平均每个学生2-3分钟左右。

And that's why I'm here today to show you some of our premier pieces. Like this sleek and stylish lounge chair. All our loungers are covered in 100% genuine leather, and built with solid steel——frame construction. Take a look at that——talk about well——made. Or take a look at this Super Sleeper Sofa...why it's one of the most comfortable sofas you'll ever lay your head on! It's true! See for yourself!

So come on down to Furniture Showroom and take a look at our...M:Well, you know what this calls for, don't you ?T:Yeah...an apology.M:No, an encore!二、填词Unit1 : "Don't quit your day job!" is advice frequently given by understandably pessimistic family members and friends to a budding artist who is trying hard to succeed. The conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt...Still, impure motives such as the desire for worshipping fans and praise from peers may spur the artist on. The lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory is not easily resisted.Unit2 : He was an immensely talented man, determined to a degree unusual even in the ranks of Hollywood stars. His huge fame gave him the freedom——and, more importantly, the money ——to be his own master. He already had the urge to explore and extend a talent he discovered in himself as he went along. "It can't be me. Is that possible? How extraordinary," is how he greeted the first sight of himself as the Tramp on the screen.Unit3 : As a welfare client I'm expected to bow before the caseworker. Deep down, caseworkers know that they are being made fools of by many of their clients, and they feel they are entitled to have clients bow to them as compensation. I'm not being bitter. Most caseworkers begin as college-educated liberals with high ideals. But after a few years in a system that practically requires people to lie, they become like the one I shall call "Suzanne", a detective in shorts.Unit4 :All these developing regions see advanced communications as a way to leap over whole stages of economic development. Widespread access to information technologies, for example, promises to condense the time required to change from labor-intensive assembly work to industries that involve engineering, marketing, and design, Modern communications "will give countries like China and Vietnam a huge advantage over countries stuck with old technology".三、阅读(1)“Finagle”is not a word that most people associate with science.【1.Because they believe scientists are impartial.（B）2.To get results which they wish to.（D）3.Europeans（A）4.Almost every great scientist resorts..（A）5.His aim is to point out a..（D）6.Make up in order（C）7.Never believe ti completely.（B）】(2)Whether work should be placed among.....a doubtful question.【1.They would be puzzled about（C）2.Because it is not easy（B）3.Because they want to overcome（A）4.Things they believe to be significant（D）5.An idle man（D）6.A man who works（C）7.When one could make（B）】(3)Despite bitter opposition from environmentalists....there are now.【1.Because the latter produce more air（C）2.Over the years to 2015,the increase...China（B）3.Bigger and more（B）4.They have to get a parking..buy cars（C）5.The author believes..（C）6.A slight increase（B）7.It drives as fast as（D）】(4)It seems to me that are building staircases.【1.The author ed to be.（N）2.The author's complaints..eyesight（Y）3.The author was..the trains（N）4.The real..railway station（N）5.When the..the street（Y）6.The author..George（NG）7.The author and his...the drink of today（Y）8.All of（more politeness）9.George（repeated）10.The author's（the unavoidable effects）】(5)If it weren't for nicotine...illnesses.【1.Although nicotine（Y）2.In spite of（N）3.It has been（N）4Added ammonia.（Y）5.Snorted（N）6.Nicotine dilates（Y）7.Nicotine molecules（Y）8.Cigarette（drinking sensibly）9.According（more sophistication）10.In order to（drinking）】(6)If you are a man..she looks.【1.A woman（Y）2.Most men（Y）3.Men's（N）4.Cindy（Y）5.Brad（N）6.Generally（Y）7.A man is not（NG）8.Beauty（try to look like Barbie）9.Women （the psychological and societal reasons）10.According（more critical issues）】(7)You have just finished your meal...ends up.【1.The passage（Y）2.Most of（Y）pared （N）ndfills（N）5.In most（Y）6.In the US（N）7.Hazardous（NG）8.Typical（municipalities and construction companies）9.To dispose（$10 to $40）10.Materials（drop-off stations）】(8)On personal values....personal achievement and helping others.【1.East Asia（N）2.Countries （N）3.The development（N）4.European（N）5.Some good（Y）6.We（Y）7.China is（NG）8.In 1998（Human Rights and Human Responsibilities）9.Small（retaliate against/revenge on）10.About（what is wrong and right）】。

Give your reasons.正确答案：Education in ChinaPart 1 (2 minutes)E First of all, we’d like to know something about you,so I’m going to ask some questions about yourselves.E Which do you think is more important for university students, practical skills or theoretical knowledge? Give your reasons.A As for me, I think practical skills and theoretical knowledge are both important. In another word, the most important thing for university students is to learn how to put their theoretical knowledge into practice. So theoretical knowledge is the foundation for the development of practical skills, and practical skills are the final goal. These two aspects are both of vital importance for university students. Without either of them, the campus life is a failure, and the higher education is a failure to some extent.E Today university students have to pay tuition and fees. Do you think this is reasonable? (Why?)A It’s a fact that university students nowadays have to pay tuition and fees. Moreover, the tuition and fees are increasing year by year. I think it’s reasonable, although some people are complaining that some poor students can’t afford the high tuition and fees and were kept away from university. In my opinion, the new tuition system does add many difficulties to the poor students but it will never keep them away from university. Firstly, the government has provided some special assistance for poor students. Secondly, they are entitled to take a loan from banks or work some part time jobs during their spare time. Finally, they can try to win a scholarship by additional effort. However, with more income, universities can invest much more money to improve the living and teaching conditions, and better the quality of higher education. It’s very important to the development of universities, higher education and our country.E What’s your major? Why did you choose it?A My major is International Trade. Before the entrance exam to college, I had considered this question for a long time. That time China was trying to become a member of WTO, and the entry was widely expected. I thought China would enter into WTO in two years, and last year China entered into WTO as I had expected. More multinational corporations and capital will be lured into China, and the amount of trade between China and other countries will be larger and larger. So, I chose international trade as my major. Now I’m more and more interested ininternational trade, and my knowledge of this field is becoming richer and richer. I’m confident that I can do a good job with my ability in the future.E Apart from your major, what other subjects do you think are very important for you? Please explain briefly.B My major is International Trade, and I like this major very much. Apart from my major, I think finance is also very important for me. International Trade and Finance are part of economy. As everybody knows, all courses in one area have some internal connections with each other, especially in science courses. The subject of Finance will help me study International Trade. Secondly, the employees of many multinational corporations are required to obtain knowledge of many fields especially Finance. So, it’s very important for us to get a position in these multinational corporations. And working for a multinational corporation is one of my dreams. I’d like to learn some courses of Finance.E Would you like to be a teacher after you graduate? Give your reasons. B In the past three years of my college life I have never ceased to think what kind of work I shall take up upon graduation. Although my ideas are not consistent, I have now decided on a college teacher as my life long career. A number of reasons have led me to choose this occupation. Firstly, teaching is learning. Secondly, teaching means freedom and independence. As a teacher, I’m free to use my own ideas and make my own decisions. Finally, I like teaching because it offers a certain peace of mind. No more rush to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome.考生相互问答2．E Now, I’d like you to talk about something between yourselves. You should take care to share the opportunity of speaking.正确答案：E Now, I’d like you to talk about something between yourselves. You should take care to share the opportunity of speaking.A With computer’s popularity on campus, sending e-mails becomes a main way of communication. You needn’t buy a computer because there are computers everywhere, so I think e-mail will be the main way of communication in the future.B It’s true that e-mail communication is very advanced and has many advantages. But what I’d like to point out is that it has some drawbacks; more and more rubbish e-mails are sent into your mailbox whether you like them or not.A Right, last week I have accepted over 30 rubbish emails.B I can say for sure that e-mail communication will never take the place of postal communication. It requires people to know a little computer and English, Those who don’t know English can’t use it. In addition, writing a letter is cheaper than sending an e-mail.A Compared with other means of communication, letters take a long time to reach people. You know, in the information age , we attach great importance to work efficiency. All is zero without efficiency.B Yes, I quite agree with you. That’s why I prefer to send messages by e-mail.B Can you list some ways of communication before computer comes into your life?A Ok, when I was a middle school student, I never saw a computer, just heard that there was a department named computer science and technology. At that time I u-sually communicated with friends and relatives throughletters and sometimes I visited them if I had some thing urgent, and if we are far away, sometimes I phoned them, but that time few students had phone, so phone was not the main communication way we used. If we meet some urgent matter, telegram turned out to be the choice. In a word, before computer comes into my life, I had only a less of ways of communications.A Do you think traditional means of communication have any predominance?B Modern communication technology has brought us great convenience, traditional means of communication are being paid less attention to than before, but they won’t be replaced by modern communication; they have their particular predominance. Firstly, the more advanced technology the tender it is. Computer can’t work if the power is out, and we have to turn to traditional communication. Secondly, some manuscript is far more valuable than electron edition, especially famous people’s manuscript. Thirdly, many people feel traditional communication more reliable, which relates to a nation’s culture.B Do modern communication have any impact on people’s value?A Science and technology greatly changes people’s living habits, and the change of living habits must bring some influence to culture, and then have impact on people’s value.继续性问答3．E I’m going to give each of you a picture and I’d like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture.Candidate A,this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it.E Thank you. Now,candidate B,could you please ask your partner a question?E OK. Candidate B,here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.E Thank you.Now,candidate A,could you please ask your partner a question?正确答案：E I’m going to give each of you a picture and I’d like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture.Candidate A,this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it.A In my hand, the picture shows a girl is playing tennis. Actually it is a kind of physical hobby. Intellectual hobbies such as reading can train one’s brain and provide temporary escape from one’s trouble. On the other hand, physical hobbies such as playing tennis can keep us fit and develop team spirit. I think, In order to make our lives enjoyable, we should have both intellectual and physical hobbies.E Thank you. Now,candidate B,could you please ask your partner a question?B Can you say something about your own hobby or hobbies?A My hobby is reading. Reading is one of the greatest pleasures in my life. It increases my pleasure when I’m cheerful, and lessens my troubles when I’m sad. Whenever I read books, they always give me enjoyment and satisfaction. The most valu-able gifts offered by books are; knowledge and experience. In books I may visit famous places, meet various people, get to know new thoughts, which is quite beyond my experience of everyday life. So, I like reading very much.E OK. Candidate B,here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.B Internet is a fantastic information expressway that connects every corner of the world. However, like everything else, it has both positive and negative aspects. Onthe one hand, it provides tremendous most updated and useful information. We can not only get all kinds of useful information and educational programs from the long-distance educational system, but also shop on website. On the other hand, there is also some useless or even harmful information. Many students keep playing games or visiting useless websites all the day. It takes them much time and maybe waste them much money.Listening to music and traveling are two different hobbies. Music, we say, is the art of organizing sounds. Music is a rhythmic poem that inspires, a harmonious tone that tranquilizes, and a melody of mystery and beauty. If you have a hobby of listening to the music, the music would have a wonderful effect on your feelings. Soft and sweet music soothe the wearied, the sad, and the restless; grand music will fill strong men with great ambitions. But only listening to music can’t keep one fit and develop team spirit. As for travel, it can keep you fit. Moreover, you can learn much from traveling, and travel can broaden your perspective. However, travel is costly in both time and money.E Thank you.Now,candidate A,could you please ask your partner a question?A Some people spend a lot of money on hobbies. Do you think it worthwhile?B I think it depends on whether you are rich. I mean, if you are rich, you spend a lot of money on hobbies and it brings you happy, it’s worthwhile; if you are poor, you spend so much money on your hobbies that you can’t dress warmly or eat your fill, I think it is not worthwhile. You should keep balance between the expenditure of hobbies and the joy brought by your hobbies. Although hobby is very important to one’s life, there are other aspects that are more important than it.。

Kind, gentle and candid, he was described by many as one of the most respectable people on earth. Nevertheless, he turned out to be cruel to a friend in need of his help. He insulted and fooled Turner who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Turner's death.

TranslationThere is no question that today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, to possess more, and to become a success. Workaholism, a modem addiction, has thus arisen. The cause of workaholism is the perception that by working longer hours and completing more projects, we will enhance our self-worth.Many women today feel the same stress to produce and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder a variety of domestic responsibilities. Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to labor longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones.

大英四完整答案导读：就爱阅读网友为您分享以下“大英四完整答案”的资讯，希望对您有所帮助，感谢您对的支持!Unit 1课内阅读参考译文享受幽默——什么东西令人开怀?1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。

这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。

那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢?2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。

这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。

我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。

这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。

3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢?显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。

而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。

我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。

”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。

一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。

一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的。

一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。

这么说是有道理的。

4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。

我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。

通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩——我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。

而且，她们的这种好感是相互的。

布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母。

当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗得外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。

外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。

”5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。

It‘s an inward-looking place, where we should feel safe.
