Q：“Public transportation
should be encouraged instead of private
cars.”
Do you agree with this statement? Please give
reasons for your
answer.
A：With the
improvement of living standards, some people can
afford
to buy their own cars. They drive to
work or drive to the suburbs,
enjoying the
happy holidays. Yet, private cars can’t replace
public
transportation, such as buses or
subways. Compared with private
cars, buses and
subways have several advantages. First, they
are
very cheap. A monthly ticket enables one to
go from almost any part
of the city to another
by bus or subway. Second, the bus and
subway
schedules are well planned and seldom
does one have to wait very
long to catch them.
Third, they have comfortable seats and some
of
them are air-conditioned. Therefore, public
transportation should be
encouraged.
Q:What
do you think are the qualities of a good
leader？
A:In my opinion, a good leader should
be trustworthy, persistent and
forward-looking.
The world is looking for honest and upright
leaders,
too.
In order to leave this world
a different place, a leader also has
to
persevere. Leaders don't grow in a comfort
zone（温室）. Leaders
are not people with
exceptional （例外的，特别的）talent; they are
people
who have learned from their mistakes and get up
and try
again, being a non-
quitter（永不放弃的人）.
Being in leadership roles, a
person should be able to see the big
picture
and take risks, doing things right and at the
right time. Thus he
can correctly assess a
situation and knows how to take the next step.
In summary, honesty, endurance, and having a
big vision are the good
qualities of for
effective leadership.
Q:Do you agree or
disagree that people should always tell the
truth?
A:I don’t think it’s a good idea for
people to always speak the truth.
Truth
can enhance but sometimes can destroy a
relationship,
depending upon the
intent.
There are times when telling is
unloving. For example, you
might not be wild
about what your friend is wearing, but if your
friend is
giving an important presentation and
asks you how she looks, it
would not be in
anyone's highest good （有最大好处）to give
your
opinion.
There are also times when many
of us have much difficulty speaking
our truth
especially to important others such as parents,
siblings, close
friends, and beloved ones. We
are afraid the other person will be
angry or
hurt by our truth, even when we state it without
judgment or
blame.
Therefore, telling the
truth is not always helpful. The important thing
in
telling the truth is to be honest with
yourself about your own intent in
telling your
truth.
Sample answer:
The lecture is about
the relationship between demands for
certain
products and their prices in the
market. Generally the proportion
relationship
beween them is inverse, that is, when the price
goes up,
the demand immediately drops down. The
higher the price is, the less
willingly the
consumers pay for. Instead, some former consumers
may
shift to other alternative products.
However, there are also exceptions
to this
rule. That is, when the price of certain products
increases, the
demands for them could also rise
for a while. However, consumers
could still buy
the product for storage because it is relatively
affordable
compared to other kinds of products.
Also they wouldn’t take the risk
of paying the
soaring price later on.
Q:What new skill would
you like to learn? Explain why this skill
would
be good for you to have.
A:A new skill that I would like to learn is
（稍换了一种说法）to cook.
China
enjoys a worldwide
reputation as “kingdom of cuisine”. Chinese
dishes
are popular all over the world. And I ,
as a would-be overseas Chinese
student, is
expected to know how to cook food that shows the
perfect
combination of “color, aroma and taste”
-------the three essential
factors in judging
Chinese cooking（背景介绍）. It would be a good
skill
to have because I could ask my classmates and
friends over to
my house and cook for
them. Also, I could do a television
cooking
show to publicize our food culture.
Maybe I could make money that
way, but the main
reason is I enjoy cooking and want to share
with
people the pleasure derived from it.
Q:Some people plan every detail of their
vacation in advance. Others
prefer to leave
most details flexible or open to chance. Which do
you
think is better and why?
A:I think advance planning is critical to a
successful vacation,
regardless of whether the
trip is long or short.
To have a comfortable
vacation, it’s necessary to check the climate
for
the time to plan to visit. And it is always
a good idea to make advance
hotel reservations
when vacationing.
Planning the vacation in
advance will also give us more time to
prepare
for it and to ensure that we have all of the
needed. This could
mean we will not have to
miss out on activities because of not
having
the correct equipment. Especially when
we decide to go camping for
vacation,
reservations in advance allow us to determine
ahead of time
whether or not the campground has
a lake, hiking trails, electricity,
etc.
Besides, we get the idea of what to take.
Last but not least, advance vacation planning
is likely to make our
experience a more
memorable one.
Q:Describe a memoriable
celebration or social event.2005.
12.
162005.12. 17 2006. 2. 11真题
A:A type of
social event celebrated in my culture is the flag-
raising
ceremony on National Day. Oceans of
(表示“许多”)people from all
across the country come
to Beijing the day before. They are
very
excited to see the ceremony with their own
eyes instead of on TV.
Some even have been
planting this dream in their mind for
years.
They arrive around 6:00 early in the
morning, waiting for the special
moment. I
guess they are all overwhelmed (震撼的) and thrilled
(激
动)by the wonderful scene at the time. On the
other hand, the view of
the honor guard parade
is fantastic,
the guards are wearing the green
military uniform and marching to
Tianmen Square
with a high spirit. Each birthday celebration of
the
great country always begin with such a
solemn (庄严的) flag-raising
ceremony, which
strengthens the unity and motivation of its
people.
Q:Which do you prefer to communicate
with your family and friends by
letter
and e-mail or by telephone?新托福iBT口语黄金80题中的第57题
A:People have different preferences, but for
me, I’d like to
communicate with my family and
friends by telephone.
Talking on the phone is
direct and fast. I now live far from my
family,
and my friends are often busy, so I use
the phone to communicate
with them. Also, I can
make sure whether they are fine by listening
to
their voice.
Writing a letter is not
practical because my parents are too old to
read
clearly and my handrwriting is not neat
enough as well.
Another disadvantage of
writing a letter is that it’s too slow. Email
is
fast, but it might not be checked in time.
So I use the telephone more often.
Q:Choose
an object you like and explain why it is of
special value to
you. Please include specific
examples and details in your explanation.
A:I’d
like to talk about the cellphone I bought two
years ago. I spent
my first month’s salary on
it and I felt happy.
It is an NEC with a wid
range of functions. Besides the
normal
functions like making telephone calls,
sending messages, checking
the calendar and the
time, taking memos, it has an easy
wireless
access to the Internet, through which
I can search the latest
information and even
chat with my friends.
Other than that, it can
also be used to watch TV, take photos
and
consult new words in an English-Chinese
dictionary, which is very
convenient for an
English learner.
What’s more, it looks
beautiful. It has a large screen, with a good
color
combination of black and silver.
In a
word, I like it a lot because it’s so useful and
brings me much
convenience.
Q:Some people
tend to judge a person on the basis of
first
observation. Some people believe it takes
a long time to know a
person well. Which
approach to knowing people do you think is
better
and why?
A:In my point of view, I
don’t think judging a person on the basis
of
first observation is generally correct.
First of all, a person usually tries to appear
nicer than he or she really
is when first
meeting someone. Some even pretend to be good
on
purpose.
Second, good looks
doesn’t necessarily match good character.
People
should be wise to realize the
possibilities of false impressions they
may
have at the first glance. In fact, a person’s
character can be fairly
judged through careful
observation ‘cause the true character can
only
be revealed in the person’s reactions to
different events.
It takes time to get to know
someone and find out the real
personality.
Therefore, judging a person by the
appearance is often wrong.
Q:If you get a
chance to choose a job, what will you do? What’s
your
reason for choosing this job?
Please
include specific examples and details in your
explanation.
A:If I could freely choose any
job, I would choose a job where I could
do
something constructive and beneficial for ordinary
people.
Definitely it would be something
helping people.
Teaching of course is sort of
that kind of job-if you do it properly you
can
certainly help people. Traditionally in China
teachers have been
very respected; we have a
saying a teacher for a day is a father
for
life.
Nowadays, attitudes are changing,
and perhaps people are more
realistic. But my
dream isn’t changing. I wouldn’t be helping
them
materially but I could give them a lot of
pleasure and lighten their
days.
I love
teaching and I want it to be my whole life’s
career ‘cause I feel I
really am contributing
something to people’s lives, to help them.
Q:If
you unexpectedly receive a large amount of money,
what will you
do with it? Would you spend it
for practical purpose or simply for fun?
State
your opinion and explain your reasons.5 j$$
A:If
I got a lot of money, the first thing I would like
to do is to go for
overseas study. I have
always wanted to finish my university in
a
different country. When I was in junior high,
one of my classmates got
a chance to go to the
USA. At that time there were not many
families
who could afford their child to do
that. To me, it was also a dream, and
the dream
has been planting in my mind until today.
Therefore, I
would definitely do this first if
I had enough money. Then, I would give
the rest
of the money to my parents so that they could live
a better
and easier life. These two things
above are what I really would like to
do if I
had a lot of money.
Q:Which place is your
favorite place when you were a child?
Describe
it and explain why you liked to
go there.
A:When I was young, the place I most
liked to go is the beach I live
close to.
I
love nature----white, powdery sand along crystal-
clear waters, palm
trees for shade, and the sea
breeze are all the things that I
really
appreciate.
Besides, I could do a
lot of things there. There were many fun
and
athletic activities available. I learned
how to swim there and building
sand castles is
my favorite activity. When the weather was awsome,
I
just lay on the beach and enjoyed the sun.
Also I made my childhood friends there and we
still keep in touch to
this day. It is the
place that brought me a lot of wonderful
memories
and that’s why I loved to go there.
Q:Compared with science and math study, the
study of art and
literature is not very
important. Do you agree or disagree?
A:Many
people may think that studying science and math is
more
beneficial. However, I do believe that art
and literature also have their
own importance
on our lives.
To begin with, our life relies a
great deal on such subjects as art
and
literature. Many aspects of our lives need
to be treated by art and
literature. As human
beings, we have feelings and emotions which
are
expected to be cared for. That’s why we
have music, movies, books,
paintings,
sculptures for us to relax, enjoy, enlighten our
mind and
refresh our soul.
Apart from that,
I believe that some people are born with
scientific
ability while others are born with
literary talents. So let a scientist do
the
research, and let a painter paint.
Q:Describe a
work of art, such as a song, poem or painting,
which has
made a lasting impression on you.
Please explain the impression and
include
specific examples and details in your explanation.
A:I’d like to talk about a painting that comes
to my mind first---Mona
Lisa, an oil painting
by the famous Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci.
Actually I’ve never seen the original
painting, but I remember the first
time I saw
its reproduction was when I was in elementary
school. The
picture is really amazing. The
painting shows a woman looking out at
the
viewer with an “enigmatic smile” （神秘的微笑）. When you
look
at her, no matter where you stand, you’ll
find her looking at you and
smiling at
you.
My arts teacher told us that Mona Lisa is
perhaps the most famous
piece in art history
and is, perhaps the most widely known portrait
in
the western world. It’s so different from
the paintings of Chinese style.
My teacher also
told us that we could learn a lot about other
cultures
from painting, which I believe is
quite true.
Q:Some people prefer to keep
reading a new book until it is finished.
Others
prefer to stop reading whenever they lose
interest. Which
method of reading do you think
is better and why?
A:In my opinion, I like to
keep reading a new book until it is finished.
This way, I can develop a new ability to
maintain focus. Reading at
parts kind of gets
boring. It’s true that there are some people who
start
a book and never finish it and then
switch to another book and never
complete it
either.
Normally, people stop reading when
they lose interest ‘cause they
think if they
continue, it won’t be of any help but annoyance.
On the
contrary, when you keep reading and
afterwards you’ll find it’s going to
get
interesting. Gradually you’ll renew enthusiasm for
reading, and
thus form a good habit of reading.
Therefore, I would rather be a sequential
finisher than a scattered
reader.
Q:Describe
the most disappointing event in your life and
explain why
you were disappointed. Please
include specific details in
your
explanation.
A:I went to the Nordstrom
store at Xidan, which is about an hour’s
subway
ride away from my home. I bought some perfume and
some
skin care products and I also asked for
the perfume atomizer (喷雾器)
bottle.
When I
got home, I opened the perfume box, finding out
that the sales
rep (representative的简称) gave me
the wrong bottle. It was the large
bottle that
wasn't an atomizer and wasn't refillable. I was
very upset,
as now I would have to make another
2-hour round trip if I wanted to
return the
product for the correct one. I have decided that I
would just
keep the bottle I purchased and not
deal with the hassle (麻烦 trouble)
of the long
ride back to the store.
I was very surprised
at my experience considering I have friends
that
rave about (对。。。着迷get madwild about) the
knowledgeable,
friendly and helpful
service they get at Nordstrom's. I hope
Nordstrom
gets back to the good customer
service they have always been known
for.
Q:Some people have a few favorite foods that
they eat most of the
time. Others are always
trying new dishes and styles of cooking.
Which
do you prefer and why?
A:Some people eat a few
favorite foods most of the time ‘cause they
do
not feel their favorites, like great music, should
be changed. But I
I've always loved to discover
new dishes and cuisines and I would like
to
have the opportunity to try different types of
ethnic foods so that I
can get a better
understanding of the food culture. Maybe I’ll
find
some new favorites.
In addition, I
love trying new things and experimenting ‘cause
this is
exciting for me. More importantly, this
way I can enrich my dining
experience and
improve the overall dining quality.
Furthermore,various dishes represent different
nationalities. And
owing to the versatility
(多样性)，I can become a bit more creative in
the
kitchen.
Since the world offers us these
different styles, why not try them?
Q:Choose a
profession that you love and you will never work a
day in
your life. Explain why this profession
would be appealing to you and
why you wouldn’t
take it.
A:A profession that I admire and will
never take is singing. I love to
sing because I
can feel energetic and lively when I sing. Also I
like the
natural sound of the voice, believing
that singing will enhance my life.
However, I
would never sing as a professional even though I
clearly
know that life is so much sweeter when
I’m earning a living by doing
something I love.
First, to serve the public as a professional
singer, I
will need to make more sacrifices.
Second, I can’t sing well enough to
entertain
thousands and thousands of audiences. Third, I
have no
musical talent to make it a successful
career. Therefore, I wouldn’t
take singing as a
long-standing profession.
Q:Some people like
to spend their weekends reading at home.
Others
prefer to relax on weekends, like
hanging out with friends. Which do
you prefer
and why?
A:Some school and college students do
not want to waste time by
spending weekends for
entertainment alone, as they are
more
concerned about their career and
higher studies. However, I think
WEEEKENDS are
meant for relaxation, for merriment (欢乐)and
fun-
making.
To begin with,it’s an earned
break after five days of hard work. It helps
us
clear the backlog (积压待办事项), refresh our mind and
keep our
body in perfect condition by doing
something like shopping, going on
picnics or
just hanging out with friends.
Weekends also
pave way for entertainment and reduce physical
and
mental stress. As the saying goes
dull
boy
What’s more, WEEKENDS provide the much-
needed opportunity to
have some diversion from
the routine, which normally tend to
become
dull, dreary(沉闷的)and monotonous(单调的).
So, weekends are fully
dedicated for
relaxation.
Q:Talk about an composition that is
important to you, ex: essay,
poem, letter, and
explain the reasons.
A1:The most important
letter that I can remember was my
college
acceptance letter.
It was like the
final judgment on all of years of study. I had
finished the
College Entrance Examination some
weeks earlier and had been
spending the summer
hanging out with my friends. I guess I had
done
my best, so I had tried not to think about
it too much. When I got the
results, I was
pleased ‘cause I had done so well that this
did
guarantee me a place at university.
When
it did arrive, it was a relief, the waiting was
the worst. Of course,
opening it was tense, but
it had to be opened and eventually I
quickly
opened my letter and quickly read it,
skipping to the irrelevant part------
-I was
accepted!!! I read it again, told my parents and
we were all
delighted. I think that would have
to be the most important letter I
have
received.
A2:The most important letter
that I can remember was a letter
applying for a
job . I had seen this job advertised in a local
newspaper,
the evening edition. It suited me
very much and I was immediately
attracted to
it. It said to apply in writing, giving details of
your
experience, your education and when you
were available… and you
had to give the names
and contacts of two references. I was
qualified
for the job and eager to get it.
When I was finished writing I was
pretty satisfied and a little pleased,
posted
it off to the address given and waited!
Thankfully, before I
sweated too much, I got a
letter after a couple of days, saying
they
wanted me to come in for interview. I was
very pleased to go for the
interview and got
the job, my first job!
Q:Would you prefer to
choose a profession that allows you to
work
alone or one allowing you to work in
groups. And why?
A:Everyone has their own
preference when choosing a profession.
Some
prefer to choose a profession allowing one to work
alone ‘cause
they are more focused and
productive when they work individually.
But I
think it is better for people to work in a team
because they can
develop their thinking skills
and sense of cooperation (培养思考能力和
合作意识) and
mutuality by discussing problems together.
In
addition, when working with a group, people become
more creative
trying to work out solutions to
the problems. Thus, they save a lot of
energy
and time.
And the last point I’d like to
mention is that people who work in groups
often
share each other’s different ideas and
experiences, which is
more pleasurable when
working together.
Therefore, I prefer to choose
a profession that allows me to work
in
groups.
Q:Choose one of your favorite
methods to relax and explain why it is
your
favorite. Please include specific examples and
details in your
explanation.
A;I relax in
many different ways depending on the
circumstances.
Sometimes I just sit and maybe
close my eyes, and think of something
pleasant.
Once in a while I play some sport, or games,
very
occasionally computer games.
I suppose
that when and where I have the time and
opportunity my
favorite way to relax is to go
for a walk in a park or better still away
out
in nature. Living in a city I often go to
one of several parks for a
stroll(闲逛,漫步). They
all have some trees, and interesting
and
winding paths, where I can wander
listlessly(没精打采地)and
contemplate(沉思)my own
thoughts or admire the various stages
of
nature. Sometimes I just like to feel the
breeze on my face and
savor(尽情享受)its coolness.
I do not know exactly how it helps me
relax,
but it does.
Q: Some college students
prefer to attend classes regularly because
they
believe that only in the class atmosphere can they
focus on the
reading. Others, however, believe
that the best reading can only be
done outside
the classroom. Which reading method do you think
is
better and why?
A:Surely, outside
reading is another option to address
different
learners’
individual needs.
However, I still believe classroom reading is
more
beneficial to increase students’ high
motivation and progress.
Only through co-
operation with the classroom teacher can they
focus
on reading. Teachers in different fields
have innovative(创新
的)teaching and productive
research, so learners can enhance their
reading
comprehension under their guidance and assistance.
By
interacting and sharing their ideas with the
instructors, students can
enrich their
knowledge, shape their learning and refine their
skills.
They can also have added help ‘cause
more individualized instruction
can be given.
What’s more,the reading materials are selected
in accordance with
students’ existing level to
satisfy their needs. That’s why I think
reading
by attending class regularly is much better than
reading
outside the classroom.
Q:Describe
something hard that you have ever done in your
life. And
explain why it is hard. Use specific
reasons and examples to support
your answer.
A:Well, I’d like to talk about something that
I ‘ve ever done for my
English improvement. You
know, most of Chinese learners are weak
at
their listening and speaking skills. So my English
teacher asked us
to have a dictation. It sounds
quite simple, but it’s very hard for a
second
language learner at the beginning. First, you felt
pain in your
ear, hand, back and shoulder. Then
you found it difficult to catch the
longer
sentences. Finally, you wanted to give it up. I
experienced all of
this, however, I didn’t
quit; I kept on dictating for about 4 months
and
amazingly found I got a lot of improvement
and I loved it! It proves
another fact that if
starting something is hard, then actually
finishing it
is really hard. But I made it and
I felt very happy.
Q:you agree or disagree
with the following statement? Children
should
begin learning a foreign language
as soon as they start school. Use
specific
reasons and examples to support your position.
A:It’s a well-known fact that learning a
language is far easier for
children than
adults. Any normal young child can learn the
language
surrounding him or her
perfectly.
Research has shown that by the age
of five the average child knows
around 10,000
words in his native language – that means he has
been
learning them at a rate of about 10 a day.
And amazingly he has
picked up the vast
majority of the grammar by the age of three.
With
regards to foreign languages, children can
pick one up in no time at
all, developing
natural pronunciation and benefiting from a lack
of
inhibition(禁制,压抑) that adults can only
aspire(热望)to.
Moreover, the earlier they start,
the better the results are. Unless we
are
careful, our primary-age children will be
flung(投入)into an adult-
style learning
approach, which they are too immature to
handle.
In a word, children can ‘naturally’
learn another language if they begin
young
enough.
Q:Describe the famous person you
admire most. Explain why you
admire this
person.
Include details and examples to support
your response.
A:When it comes to the the
famous person I admire most, Jackie
Chan is the
one. I’m a huge fan of him. I like all the
breathtaking
movies he starred in. He's
funnier, a better actor, generally
more
personable and thing that makes me show
great
respect to him is that he made great
contributions to the society after
he became
successful. He did a lot of charity work in a wide
range of
places, from poverty-stricken areas to
earthquake-damaged areas,
from HongKong to
China Mainland, from South Asia to the
whole
world. Enthusiastic about his career, he
also built his own world of film
like Disney
World for children to know about him and his
films. So
that’s why I admire Jackie Chan most.
Q:Some people think universities should spend
money on academic
programs. Other people
disagree and think that universities should
use
their funds to provide more entertainment
activities like building
musical or camera
center? Which of these two opinions do you
agree
with? Use specific reasons and details to
support your answer.
A:Both academic programs
and entertainment activities are
welcome
in universities.
On one
hand, students are supposed to enrich their
knowledge in the
university. Only when they are
supported by a good team of senior
academic
staff, provided with enough academic programs
and
technical facilities like libraries,
computer labs, can they learn more
and better.
On the other hand, students need to relax
after a long day’s
schoolwork. But how well
they can release their stress and enjoy
hours
of good relaxation depends on the recreational
facilities. And all
of this needs financial
support from universities.
As the saying goes,
all work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy.
Therefore, universities should spend money
on both academic and
entertainment
activities.
Q:What do you think are
characteristics of a good school? Use
specific
details and examples to support your
response.
A:In my view, three characteristics
are essential for a good school.
First and
foremost, high-quality content is very important.
The school
is expected to offer diverse courses
or programs to keep its students
interested and
to have standards to guide them. Hence they
can
create good pieces of work, not just focus
on raising test scores in a
narrow
way.
Besides, a good school should have an
excellent teaching staff. Good
teaching helps
students understand a subject in depth and
thus
improve the quality of their
work.
Moreover, school environment, both
physical and psychosocial, is a
crucial factor
that contributes to a good school. A safe, clean,
and
well-maintained school with a positive
psychosocial climate and
culture can foster
school connectedness, which in turn boosts
student
and staff health as well as students’
educational achievement.
Q:Some people gather a
lot of information before traveling.
Others
prefer to go straight to the place they
plan to. Which do you think is
better and why?
A:I think it’s better to get to know about the
destination you’ll be
traveling to and take
time to plan before leaving. Traveling to a
new
place means experiencing a lot of
adventure. The more you know
about the
destination and the conditions you can expect on
your trip,
the more you will enjoy your
experience. In addition, you know how
