关于四六级改革与口语考试
来自四六级官网的消息：2016年起，全国大学英语四、六级考试口语考试（CET-SET）将分设四级和六级两个级别，即“全国大学英语四级口语考试（CET-SET4）”和“全国大学英语六级口语考试（CET-SET6）”。原CET-SET 将设定为CET-SET6。但是具体的开考时间，报名方式和考试实施细则另行公布。以下以四级口试为例：
考前电脑随机组合，A和B两人为一组，在task 1的self introduction中A先回答，然后B回答，时间为20秒。在task 2和task3中，都是A和B同时回答，只有在task4中，是A和B参与讨论。
以下为来自新浪微博的消息：
2016年下半年全国大学生英语四六级口语考试将于11月19-20日举行。具体安排如下：
1、11月19日：大学生英语四级口语考试（CET-SET4）
2、11月20日：大学生英语六级口语考试（CET-SET6）
考试资格：
1、大学生英语四级口语考试：仅接受完成2016年12月大学英语四级笔试报考的考生。
2、大学生英语六级口语考试：仅接受完成2016年12月大学英语六级笔试报考的考生。
成绩公布：
1、本次考试将于2017年2月底与笔试成绩同时发布。

口试是选考，但你的口试和笔试成绩将会在一张成绩单上公布，如果未报考口语，你的口语一栏成绩将为空白，那么在求职的时候你的空白成绩就很解释了。So,虽说口试时选考，但是实质上也是不得不考。

大学英语四级考试听力样题 一、听力原文 Tape Script of Listening Comprehension Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear three news reports. At the end of each news report, you will hear two or three questions. Both the news report and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre. Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item. Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital. The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels. 1. What is the news report mainly about? 2. When did the incident occur? Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item. Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token ￡1 failed. The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the c ollapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years. Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers. Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive. 3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report? 4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently? Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item. Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution.
