2020年12月大学英语六级考试模拟试卷及答案（7）2020年12月大学英语六级考试模拟试卷及答案（7）Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions：There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage：There are two methods of fighting, the one by law, theother by force; the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient,one must have recourse to the second. It is, therefore, necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man. This was covertly taught to rulers by ancient writers, who related how Achilles and many others of those ancient princes were given to Chiron the centaur to be brought up and educated under his discipline. The parable of this semi瞐nimal, semi瞙uman teacher is meant to indicate that a prince must know how to use both natures, and that the one without the other is not durable.A prince, being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast, must imitate the fox, and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox annot defend himself from wolves. Thosethat wish to be only lions do not understand this. Therefore,a prudent ruler ought not to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interest, and when the reasons which made him bind himself no longer exist. If men were all good,this precept would not be good ; but as they are bad, and would not observe their faith with you, so you are not bound to keep faith with them. Nor have legitimate grounds ever failed a prince who wished to show colorable excuse for the nonfulfilment of his promise. Of this one could furnish an infinite number of examples, and show how many times peace has been broken, and how many promises rendered worthless, by the faithlessness of princes, and those that have best been able to imitate the fox have succeeded best. But it is necessary to be able to disguise this character well, and to be a great feigner and dissembler, and men are so simple and so ready to obey present necessities, that the one who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived.21.The author of the passage does not believe that ____.A) people can protect themselvesB) the truth makes men freeC) leaders have to be consistentD) princes are human22.The lion represents those who are ____.A) too trusting B) strong and carefulC) reliant on force D) lacking in intelligence23.The fox, in this passage, is ____.A) admired for his trickery B) no match for the lionC) pitied for his trick D) considered worthless24.The writer suggests that a successful leader must ____.A) be prudent and faithfulB) cheat and lieC) have principle to guide his actionsD) tell the people the truth about his opponent25.The writer would approve an unsuccessful politicalcandidate ____.A) gave up all his opportunitiesB) promised to try again next timeC) overthrew the government by forceD) told the people the truth about his opponentQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage：The forest from which Man takes his timber is the tallest and most impressive plant community on Earth. In terms of Man's brief life it appears permanent and unchanging, save for the seasonal growth and fall of the leaves, but to forester it represents the climax of a long succession of events.No wooded landscape we see today has been forest forall time. Plants have minimum requirements of temperature and moisture and, in ages past, virtually every part of Earth's surface has at some time been either too dry or too cold for plants to survive. However, as soon as climatic conditions change in favour of plant life, a fascinating sequence of changes occurs, called a primary succession.First to colonize the barren land are the lowly lichens, surviving on bare rock.Slowly, the acids produced by these organisms crack the rock surface, plant debris accumulates, and mosses establish a shallow root瞙old. Ferns may follow and, with short grasses and shrubs, gradually form a covering of plant life. Roots probe even deeper into the developing soil and eventually large shrubs give way to the first trees. These grow rapidly, cutting off sunlight from the smaller plants, and soon establish complete domination—closing their ranks and forming a climax community which may endure for thousands of years.Yet even this community is not everlasting. Fire may destroyit outright and settlers may cut it down to gain land for pasture or cultivation. If the land is then abandoned, a secondary succession will take over, developing much faster on the more hospitable soil. Shrubs and trees are among the early invaders, their seeds carried by the wind, by birds and lodged in the coats of mammals.For as long as it stands and thrives, the forest is a vast machine, storing energy and many elements essential for life.26.What does the forest strike mankind as permanent?A) The trees are in community.B) The forest is renewed each season.C) Man's life is short in comparison.D) It is an essential part our lives.27.What has sometimes caused plants to die out of the past?A) Interference from foresters.B) Variations in climate.C) The absence of wooded land.D) The introduction of new type of plants.28.In a “primary succession', what makes it possible for mosses to take root?A) The type of rock.B) The amount of sunlight.C) The amount of moisture.D) The effect of lichens.29.What conditions are needed for shrubs to become established?A) Ferns must take root.B) The ground must be covered with grass.C) More soil must accumulate.D) Smaller plants must die out.30.Why is a “secondary succession” quicker?A) The ground is more suitable.B) There is more space for new plants.B) Birds and animals bring new seeds.D) It is supported by the forest.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage：Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth瞔entury painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself：“I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for some one to help me.” No one could havehad a more productive age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls.(“We came in bunches, like radishes.”) At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty瞫even, she married Thomas Moses,the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived;her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her firstexhibition in New York. Between the1930's and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures：detailed and lively portrayals of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form.“I think really har d till I think of something really pretty, and thenI paint it.” she said.31.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A) Grandma Moses： A Biographical SketchB) The Children of Grandma MosesC) Grandma Moses： Her Best ExhibitionD) Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists32.According to the passage, Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to ____.A) decorate her homeB) keep activeC) improve her salaryD) gain an international reputation33.From Grandma Moses' description of herself in thefirst paragraph, it can be inferred that she was ____.A) independent B) prettyC) wealthy D) timid34.Grandma Moses spent most of her life ____.A) nursing B) paintingC) embroidering D) farming35.In line 14, the word “spotted” could best be replaced by ____.A) speckled B) featuredC) noticed D) damagedQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage：The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their manifest (明显的) advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instantcoffee was far greater than that for regular coffee.Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers' seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producers suspected that there might be deeper reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of motivation research's classic studies, one often cited in the trade. Mason Haire, of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists：hamburger, carrots(胡萝卜), baking powder, bread, canned peaches and potatoes, with the brands or amounts specified. The seventh item, in the fifth place on both lists, read “11b. Maxwell House coffee” on one list and “Nescafe instant coffee” on the other. One list was given to each person in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in another group of the same size. The women were asked to study their lists and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woma n (“personality and character”) who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife,who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was a poor planner. Eight women felt that the instant瞔offee user was probably not a good wife! No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.36.The fact that producers found resistance to their product despite the fact that they spent more advertising money on instant than regular coffee shows that ____.A) advertising does not assure favorable sales resultB) companies spent more money on advertising than they shouldC) people pay little attention to advertisingD) the more one advertises the better the sales picture37.In this instance, the purpose of motivation research was to discover____.A) why people drink coffeeB) why instant coffee did not taste goodC) why regular coffee was successfulD) the real reason why people would not buy instant coffee38.This investigation indicated that ____.A) 50 percent of housewives are lazyB) housewives who use instant coffee are lazyC) many women believe that wives who use instant coffee are lazyD) wives who use regular coffee are good planners39.On the results of this test, the producers probably revised their advertising to show a ____.A) lazy housewife using regular coffeeB) hard瞱orking housewife using instant coffeeC) lazy housewife using instant coffeeD) man obviously enjoying the taste of instant coffee40.Implied but not stated：____.A) Despite its advantages, most people disliked instant coffee because of its taste.B) The advertising expenditure for instant coffee was greater than that for regular coffee.C) Very often we do not know the real reasons for doingthings.D) Taste is the principal factor in determining what we buy.おPart Ⅲ Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions：There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words ( not exceeding 10 words ).Students who score high in achievement needs tend to make higher grades in college than those who score low. When degree aptitude for college work, as indicated by College Entrance Examination Board Tests, is held constant, engineering students who score high in achievement needs tendto make higher grades in college than the aptitude test scores would indicate.We can define this need as the habitual desire to do useful work well. It is a salient influence characteristic of those who need little supervision. Their desire for accomplishment is a stronger motivation than any stimulation the supervisor can provide. Individuals who function in terms of this drive do not “bluff” in regard to a job that they fail to do well.Some employees have a strong drive for success in their work; others are satisfied when they make a living. Those who want to feel that they are successful have high aspiration for themselves. Thoughts concerning the achievement drive are often prominent in the evaluations made by the typical employment interviewer who interviews college seniors for executive training. He wants to find out whether the senior has a strong drive to get ahead or merely to hold a job. Research indicates that some who do get ahead have an even stronger drive to avoid failure.[FK)]Questions：(答题尽量简短，超过10个词要扣分。

下面就为大家分享一下今年的六级口语考题以及回答模板。

一、个人陈述1.网络视频分享的普及The popularization of online video sharing Following the rapid development of social media apps, people no longer need to meet friends face to face and share their feelings and experience to each other. Instead, we use our cellphone apps to make, edit and release videos online, which are recordings of some valuable memories of our lives. A number of factors might contribute to this prevalent phenomenon. One of the most common is that online video sharing makes it more convenient to communicate and interact with friends, especially those who live quite far away from each other. By watching vivid videos, we can know better about our friends' lives, feel closer with them, as if we are having fun together. Besides that, sharing video online is a good way to make new friends. As for me, I like watching videos posed by different people because it enables me to get to know people from various background without any limits imposed by space or time. Therefore, sharing videos is a way to bring people closer together, and an irresistible trend that almost no one can reject.2.翻译的重要性The Importance of TranslationTranslation is a cross-language and cross-culture communicative activity. In translation practice, translators should be faithful to the original text, and deal with target language with flexibility, instead of sticking to the original structure. As Eugene Nida said, “Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning, and secondly in terms of style.”Translation plays a key role in a increasingly interdependent world. With the globalization of the economic, there are more and more global companies, who need the translator when they communicate with their business partner, run a business in a foreign country, and so on. The translator enhance communication by conveying information accurately from one language to another in different countries across the world.To sum up, translation is not just about academic skills. It is about providing the vital linguistic and cultural link between persons and communities of different races, cultures and languages. So that we can communicate better and understand one another more effectively.3.线上医疗好还是线下医疗好？Online medical service or offline medical service, which is better?Nowadays, with the development of Internet and medical technology, it has become a reality that we can stay at home to be medically served online without going to the physical hospital. Personally, I think the online medical service is better that the traditional one for the following three main points.Firstly, as is known to us, the traditional medical service required that we should not only make an appointment in advance, but also go to the physical hospital to line up for a long time to see the doctor. What’s worse, it takes a few hours for us to get there if we are far from the hospital. Thus, the online one can be said to be better and convenient for us. We can make use of the waiting time to do a lot of meaningful things or get more sleep. Second, as the pandemic of CIVID-19 this year, some measures should be taken to reduce the probability of exposing to the infectious disease. However, if we all go to the physical hospital when we feel a little sick, we can’t guarantee the occurrence of infection since some diseases is contagious itself. Lastly, I suggest that common ailments, such as catching a cold, should be encouraged to be treated online at home, while the unusual cases should be treated in the hospital because sometimes we need to be inspected by the professional medical devices to know our physical condition.二、话题讨论1.应该鼓励在线视频分享吗？A: Hi, Joe, how is everything going?B: Not good, actually.A: What's wrong?B: This morning, I was bombard with many massages of short online videos shared by my friend s when checking my We Chat. You know, it's annoying because I'm not really interested in these videos.A: Well, sharing online videos using apps like Tic Tok is becoming a trend among people, including the elders. In fact, sometimes, people are just to share the joy they felt from the videos they think funny.B: I don't agree, everyone has the choice to refuse the spreading of disturbing messages, hasn't they? Online videos should not be shared freely by smart phones. A: Of course. I agree on this point. But Let's talk from another angle. Nowadays since the paper news is gradually replaced by the electric one, online video sharing becomes one of the instant way that can help us learn the major events happened in many countries.B: Sure, it does help. Every coin has two sides. What we need to do is to master the degree when using it. Don't be too indulged in it.A: Yes, you are right. We should encourage the sharing of online video on the condition of considering and respecting others' will.2.机器翻译能否替代人工翻译Candidate A: With the development of science and technology, machine translation plays a more and more important role in the field of translation. As a result, some translators are wondering whether translators will lose their jobs in the near future with the rapid development of machine translation. What do you think about that? Candidate B: Well, the rapid development of machine translation indicates that there is soil for its survival in the field of translation. What's more, it has a bigger advantage than human translation in some aspects.Candidate A: Does machine translation seem so powerful that it is applicable to all fields? In my opinion, machine translation also has its obvious disadvantages. Candidate B: Yes, some kinds of texts are not suitable for machine translation. For example, as for foreign film, the translators should not only be in line with the original text, but also take into account the characteristics of the film. But machine translation does not guarantee this.Candidate A: I agree with your idea. While machine translation is convenient, there are some disadvantages in it. For example, in literary works, authors often use writing techniques such as rhyme, pun, and voice-over to enhance their works. For machine translation, there is no way to restore it completely.Candidate B: Yeah, therefore, machine translation cannot completely replace human translation, so the existence of translators is very necessary.Candidate A: So, translators should strive to improve their own qualities in order to ensure the quality of translation.Candidate B: Yeah. With machine translation developing so well, translators should improve their competitiveness.3.线上医疗好还是线下医疗好？A: Hi, Tiffany, What’s wrong with you? You looks so tired.B: Oh, yesterday I caught a cold suddenly and went to the Renmin Hospital. However, I failed to make an appointment with Dr. Smith after lining up for a long time. I waited for a long time, you know, just to be told the attendance is full. It’s too annoying.A: Really? It’s too bad. But why do you try to make an appointment online?B: I never tried. Does this approach have a greater chance of success?A: Sure, I have used it for a few times. It is convenient and can save a lot of time, especially when we are far from the hospital.B: It sounds great. But I think there is one shortcoming with the online form. Online medical service is just limited to common ailments, such as catching a cold, which canbe treated online at home, while the unusual cases need to be treated in the hospital because sometimes we still need to be inspected by the professional medical devices to know our physical condition.A: Yes, it is not perfect until now. Although it has some limitations and can’t replace the offline one totally, it still shows its great advantage when we confronted with thepandemic of COVID-19, isn’t it? If you go to the physical hospital, you can’t guarantee the occurrence of exposing to the viruses and other contagious diseases. Seeing a doctor online at home can help reduce the likelihood of outbreak of epidemic.B: Well, from this perspective, online medical service is indeed better than the offline one.4.机考是否将替代纸质考试Candidate A: Due to the epidemic this year, many paper tests have been converted to computer-based ones. Do you have any ideas about it?Candidate B: Yeah. I have just taken a computer-based test last month. I think it is very convenient and efficient. I just need to open my computer and do the test. Candidate A: Well, of course computer-based test can reduce many processes, but does it guarantee fairness and equality of the test?Candidate B: As far as I am concerned, computer-based test can’t fully guarantee the fairness of the examination. For example, the rural network is worse than the urban network, which is very unfair to the rural candidates.Candidate A: Yeah, I agree with your idea. In addition, it’s not very safe. If the computer crashes or the Internet is disconnected, the exam will not go smoothly. Candidate B: What’s more, popularizing the computer-based test is not simple. It requires sufficient funding and technical support.Candidate A: So, In the future of artificial intelligence, computer-based tests may replace paper-based tests, but they will never replace the reliability paper test brought. Candidate B: Well, I hoped that the computer-based test can not only provide convenience for exams, but also improve its security and stability.5.保护网上个人信息的重要性People now are living in an era of technology. With the rapid development of the Internet, we can get information in a much faster way than ever before. The Internet allows for an unbelievably large amount of downloads and uploads of information for individual users. However, it also brings about the hazard of personal information leakage, and it is vital to raise people’s awareness of this serious problem. Firstly, if the personal information gets revealed, it might be obtained and utilized by some people who intend to engage in illegal activities, such as fraud, forgery, even kidnapping. It will cause immeasurable losses to the victims, and everyone’s safety cannot beguaranteed under this circumstance. Besides, if some business giants possess a considerable amount of personal information, they might become dominant in a industry to an extent that monopoly might be formed, which obviously has a negative impact on the whole market, even the economy. Thus, personal information protection is an alarmingly significant issue that cannot be ignored.6.怎样保护网上个人信息？A: Hi, Lucy, Have you heard the news that Lisa, one of Jack’s best friends, was defrauded of ¥30,000?B: Wow, What happened?A: It is said that her money was gone with a few seconds just after she clicked on an unfamiliar web link at the guidance of a sales call.B: Oh, that’s too bad. It’s totally a wire fraud, isn’t it?A: Yes, indeed. Being in a digital era, you know, every time we click on a web link, we are always asked to enter some personal information, which is closely tied to our banking or paying accounts. That is to say, it’s easy to disclose our personal information to some so-called hackers who possibly do some criminal things.B: You’re right. But how to prevent the occurrence of such bad event?A: Well, I have concluded a few methods to to protect our personal information from being stolen online.B: Really, I’m ready to know.A: First, develop a good habit of surfing the Internet, don’t click the unknown website or web link freely. Second, encrypt some financial apps in our smartphone or computers. Third, kill viruses of our digital devices regularly and update virus reservoir instantly.B: Good idea, I will do as you suggest.7.人工智能会不会让很多人失业Candidate A: In recent years, artificial intelligence(AI) has made rapid advances, which has raised some concerns. One of them is whether AI will lead to mass unemployment. Then what do you think of it?Candidate B: Of course, artificial intelligence will put some people out of work. For example, the telegraph operator lost his job when the telephone appeared. Candidate A: Many people are afraid of losing their jobs because they only work hard and don’t think.Candidate B: Yes, you are right. Though AI makes some people lose their job, it also gives opportunities to other people who are good at thinking.Candidate A: Well, I agree with your idea. Sedan chairs and carriages disappeared with the advent of car, as did the carter, but the demand for car drivers increased significantly.Candidate B: Yeah. Compared with carters, car drivers are better at thinking. Candidate A: The development of AI technology not only brings about unemployment, it also brings about more job opportunities.Candidate B: So this reminds us to strive to improve our own quality, and warns us to be a person who is good at thinking.8.孤独的害处Despite the convenience that science and technology has brought into life, people nowadays tend to feel more lonely than in the past. And loneliness can cause a number of damages to both physical and mental health. According to a medical research, people who often feel lonely tend to have a weaker immune system, thus they have a much higher level of blood pressure than average, and are more likely to get chronic diseases like brain damage, heart disease, even cancer. Researchers believe that loneliness can cause changes in hormone levels, which is responsible for these physical illnesses that lonely people suffer. Not only that, loneliness can result in many significant damages to people’s mental health as well. For example, people who often feel lonely might find themselves difficult to concentrate and think deeply. Without self-adjusting, they might lose interests toward their job, friends and things which they used to love, and are in danger of falling into depression eventually. Considering the damaging effects loneliness can bring about to people’s lives, it is necessary for us to avoid this harmful emotion, and help whoever is experiencing it.9.要不要向校园里停的车收费Candidate A: Nowadays, there are a lot of such phenomena on campus: a lot of private cars parked on the roads, which brings great inconvenience to students and teachers. Then what do you think of it? Do you think they should be charged?Candidate B: Well, when I walked out of the dorm today, there was a car parked in front of the door, which made it difficult for students to get in and out.Candidate A: Oh, the owner of the car is so incompetent, how can he park his car there?Candidate B: So I don’t think people can leave their cars random on campus, instead, they should park them in a fixed parking space.Candidate A: Yeah, I agree with you. So it is necessary to charge car owners for disorderly parking.Candidate B: You mean that if the owner parks his car in a fixed parking space, and it will not affect the traffic, so there will be no charge?Candidate A: Yes. This would encourage owners to put their cars in the right places and penalize those who leave them in the wrong places.Candidate B: Well, it sounds great! I believe that if our university does this, both students and teachers will get great convenience, thus reducing a lot of unnecessary troubles.10.医疗服务的变化Changes in medical serviceIn the past few years, with the development of Internet and digital technology, many industries have greatly facilitated people’s daily life by setting up online stores or WeChat mini-programs. Medical service is no exception. Nowadays, it is gradually becoming a reality that we can stay at home to be medically served online without going to the physical hospital. Specifically, I think the changes in medical service are reflected in the following three points.Firstly, the perfection of medical system as well as its combination with the smart devices allows people to make an appointment in advance by using a portable phone or a mini-program inserted in the WeChat app anywhere. And it is also easy to cancel or change the time. Secondly, the pandemic of COVID-19 at the beginning of this year further promote the popularization of using online medical service instead of the offline one, because the former is an effective way to reduce the probability of exposing to the infectious disease. Lastly, medicine is a matter of people’s livelihood, to speed up the implementation of the online medical service is encouraged by the government, whose aims is to help people solve the problem of difficulty in medical treatment. In addition, the cost of adopting the online medical service is certainly fewer than the traditional offline one.All in all, in the next few years, the forms of medical service will continue to be changed and diversified and the combination form of online and offline is ideally predictable.11.校园停放车辆A: Do you ever feel lonely?

2020年11月英语四级口语考试真题及参考答案2020年11月英语四级口语考试真题及参考答案1. Are you satisfied with your present accommodations? Give your reasons.What kind of accommodations would you like to have?From my point view, I’m quite satisfied with our accommodation. My dormitory room faces south and has a lot of sunshine in fine weather. It also has a very good view of the garden in front of the building and the mountains in the distance. It makes me feel good when I look the lovely grass, flowers and trees in the garden. The color of the mountains changes with different seasons and in different weather. I really enjoy watching the view from my room.But there are some aspects need to be improved. Above all, our dormitory is not big enough. When everybody is in the room, there simply is not enough space for us to move around. And with six people in it, there isn’t much privacy for anyone.We even don’t have a washroom in it .So it’s not convenient for us, especially in winter and summer. And the water and electricity supply are usually cut off for some unclear reasons. Everyday we have to go to bed before halfpast ten. That’ too early! S o we are restricted to do what we need to do after ten thirty. In a word, our canteens are quite good. First of all, the food is quite cheap and the services meet most of our needs. But some canteens are sosmall that have to wait in line to get our food.In my opinion, a good student apartment should have a relatively large living room and three or four small single bedrooms. This design will provide enough space for meetingsand gatherings while at the same time give each student his or her own room. It should have a washroom and we should have water and electricity supply all day long. And we also can get our food without waiting in line.In my university, students have different types of accommodation depending on their status. Undergraduate students generally share dormitory rooms six to a room, and master’s stu dents four to a r oom. New apartment houses are also available to students who pay an additional rent.2. What job do you think is the best for you after you graduate?I think the best job for me is to be a teacher after graduation. When I was a child, I had dreamed to be a high school teacher. Now I can come to Xinyang Normal Universityto receive further education and I major in Study of History. It looks like that my dream will come true in the near future.As a teacher, I can give what I have learnt to my students, who will make contributions to our society.Thinking about it, I will be very proud of being a teacher. And, what’s more, I can become an actor just on the small platform in the front of the classroom, which will make mylife much colorful. And then, what mostly makes me choose to be a teacher is that I can share some new ideas with the young people, and by this way I will be young forever in my mind.3. What is your most important consideration when looking for a job?Actually, many factors contribute to job satisfaction, such as a high salary, good promotion prospects, pleasant and friendly working atmosphere, suitability for one’s professional talents，and personal interests etc. For many people, money or goodpromotion prospects may be their most important consideration when looking a job; but as for me, what is important is to do something that I enjoy. I hear stories all the time about people who change their jobs because they realize that they don’t like them after they have starte d. If you don’t like what you’re doing, you are going to be miserable. You cann’t make the best use of your talents and you will get nowhere in your work. So when choosing a job, I think, we’d better make sure that we know where our interest lies, only by doing so, can we do very well in our work and enjoy our work most.。

2020年12月全国大学英语四级口语考试真题及原文[A] Young graduates are in debt, out of work and on their parents' couches. People in their 30s and 40s can't afford to buy homes or have children. Retirees are earning near-zero interest on their savings.[B] In the current listless (缺乏活力的) economy, every generation has a claim to having been most injured. But the Labor Department's latest jobs snapshot and other recent data reports present a strong case for crowning baby boomers (二战后生育高峰期出生的人) as the greatest victims of the recession and its dreadful consequences.[C] These Americans in their 50s and early 60s — those near retirement age who do not yet have access to Medicare and Social Security — have lost the most earnings power of any age group, with their household incomes 10 percent below what they made when the recovery began three years ago, according to Sentier Research, a data analysis company. Their retirement savings and home values fell sharply at the worst possible time： just before they needed to cash out. They are supporting both aged parents and unemployed young-adult children, earning them the unlucky nickname "Generation Squeeze."[D] New research suggests that they may die sooner, because their health, income security and mental well-being were battered (重创) by recession at a crucial time in their lives. A recent study by economists at Wellesley College found that people who lost their jobs in the few years before becoming qualified for Social Security lost up to three yearsfrom their life expectancy (预期寿命), largely because theyno longer had access to affordable health care.[E] Unemployment rates for Americans nearing retirementare far lower than those for young people, who are recentlyout of school, with fewer skills and a shorter work history. But once out of a job, older workers have a much harder time finding another one. Over the last year, the average duration of unemployment for older people was 53 weeks, compared with 19 weeks for teenagers, according to the Labor Department's jobs report released on Friday.[F] The lengthy process is partly because older workersare more likely to have been laid off from industries thatare downsizing, like manufacturing. Compared with the rest of the population, older people are also more likely to owntheir own homes and be less mobile than renters, who can move to new job markets.[G] Older workers are more likely to have a disability of some sort, perhaps limiting the range of jobs that offer realistic choices. They may also be less inclined, at least initially, to take jobs that pay far less than their old positions.[H] Displaced boomers also believe they are victims ofage discrimination, because employers can easily find a young, energetic worker who will accept lower pay and who can potentially stick around for decades rather than a few years.[I] In a survey by the center of older workers who were laid off during the recession, just one in six had found another job, and half of that group had accepted pay cuts.Fourteen percent of the re-employed said the pay in their new job was less than half what they earned in their previous job. "I just say to myself： 'Why me? What have I done to deserve this?' " said John Agati, 56, of Norwalk, Conn., whose lastfull-time job, as a merchandise buyer and product developer, ended four years ago when his employer went out of business. That position paid $90,000, and his rsum lists stints at companies like American Express, Disney and USA Networks. Since being laid off, though, he has worked a series of part-time, low-wage, temporary positions, including selling shoesat Lord & Taylor and making sales calls for a limo company.[J] The last few years have taken a toll not only on his family's finances, but also on his feelings of self-worth. "You just get sad," Mr. Agati said. "I see people getting upin the morning, going out to their careers and going home. I just wish I was doing that. Some people don't like their jobs, or they have problems with their jobs, but at least they're working. I just wish I was in their shoes." He said he cannot afford to go back to school, as many younger people without jobs have done. Even if he could afford it, economists say it is unclear whether older workers like him benefit much from more education.[K] "It just doesn't make sense to offer retraining for people 55 and older," said Daniel Hamermesh, an economics professor at the University of Texas in Austin. "Discrimination by age, long-term unemployment, the fact that they're now at the end of the hiring queue, the lack of time horizon just does not make it sensible to invest in them."[L] Many displaced older workers are taking this message to heart and leaving the labor force entirely. The share of older people applying for Social Security early spiked during the recession as people sought whatever income they could find. The penalty they will pay is permanent, as retirees who take benefits at age 62 will receive 30 percent less in each month's check for the rest of their lives than they would if they had waited until full retirement age (66 for those born after 1942).Those not yet eligible for Social Security are increasingly applying for another, comparable kind of income support that often goes to people who expect never to work again： disability benefits. More than one in eight people in their late 50s is now on some form of federal disability insurance program, according to Mark Duggan, chairman of the department of business economics and public policy at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.The very oldest Americans, of course, were battered by some of the same ill winds that tormented those now nearing retirement, but at least the most senior were cushioned by a more readily available social safety net. More important, in a statistical twist, they may have actually benefited from the financial crisis in the most fundamental way： prolonged lives.Death rates for people over 65 have historically fallen during recessions, according to a November 2020 study by economists at the University of California, Davis. Why? The researchers argue that weak job markets push more workersinto accepting relatively undesirable work at nursing homes, leading to better care for residents.。
