Beside her is a slim lady with a plate of healthy food such as fruits andvegetables. This picture has vividly demonstrated that if people want to lose weight and keepgood shape, eating healthy food is vitally important.According to many researches, junk food can have bad infl uences on one’s health. Manypeople enjoy eating junk food and think that it tastes great, but the consequences can beserious, from low energy levels, to weight gain and illness. Junk food does not have enoughnutrients but contains large amount of carbohydrates and fats.How should we keep healthy then? In my opinion, it’s very important for us to keep abalanced and healthy diet. We should eat as diverse as possible, such as rice, bread, meat,fi sh, eggs, milk and vegetables. Rice and bread give us energy. Meat, fi sh, eggs and milk helpour bones grow. Fruits and vegetables make us healthy. In short, we should keep away fromunhealthy junk food. Healthy food can make us grow and strong. Remember: “An apple a daykeeps the doctor away.”Candidate B:As is vividly shown in the drawin g, there are two ladies, a fat one and a slim one. The fatlady has a plate of unhealthy food such as cake, ice cream, etc.; while the slim lady has a plateof healthy food such as vegetables and fruits. From this comparison, we can easily concludethat if we want to keep fi t, we should eat healthy food instead of junk food.Nowadays, people especially women are getting more and more concerned with theirhealth and body fi gure. Moreover, it seems to be a prevalence in the whole society that beingslim or even thin is the right thing. So most women choose to eat healthy food or organicfood. They are enthusiastic about physical exercises, such as jogging, yoga and so on. Notonly women but also men pay particular care about their health and body shape. They eathealthy food and at the same time go to the gym to build their muscles or lose weight.In all, as long as people can eat healthy food every day and take exercises on a regularbasis, keeping fi t and healthy is not a tough issue. Also, this healthy lifestyle can have lots ofbenefi ts to the human beings, such as prolonging people’s life span, reducing the government’smedical burden, and so on.21第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练Useful Expressions:nutrient n. 营养carbohydrate n. 碳水化合物prevalence n. 盛行organic adj. 有机的yoga n. 瑜伽prolong v. 延长life span 寿命Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是两人就如何减肥的问题进行讨论。根据题目要求，考生A 将向考生B 征求如何减肥的建议：减肥是该少吃还是该多锻炼？注意在对话中要灵活运用向别人征求意见以及给予建议的句型。参考答案Candidate A: Hello, I think you’re in really good shape.Candidate B: Thank you.Candidate A: I’ve been putting on a few pounds recently.

In fact, one of the problems is that I actually exercise a lot.Candidate B: So why cannot you lose weight?Candidate A: I have no idea. Maybe it’s my diet.Candidate B: It could be. So, in that case, you might want to eat something more nutritious.I eat three meals a day and I try not to eat any snacks or junk food in between.No potato chips. No popcorn. No candy bars.Candidate A: That’s pretty tough!Candidate B: It is tough but…Well, I must admit that sometimes I really cannot resist thetemptation of those delicious snacks, but…Candidate A: OK. I’ll give it a try…but actually, you see my problem is that I like junk food.So I have to choose: either I eat less or I eat a better diet. What do you advise?Candidate B: I think that if you are exercising, then you should just eat what you want andeat less.22大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）Candidate A: Eat less. OK.

According tothe research, with the companionship of dogs or cats, it’s very likely that elder people’s heartrate, blood pressure and stress level will drop.Question 2: If you can keep a pet, which is your favorite animal? And why?参考答案Candidate A:If I can have a chance to keep a pet, I’d like to keep a dog at home. Dogs are man’s bestfriends. They are cute, smart and loyal to their masters. No matter what you look like, whetheryou are rich or poor, they will always offer you with unconditional love and affection. Theylove you with all their heart and soul.Candidate B:As a girl, I’d like to keep a cat as my pet. Cats are quieter and cleaner than dogs. Theyare so cute especially those with innocent big eyes. They are also very gentle and considerate.Cats rely on their masters more, so they are always the ideal companions for people. Ofcourse, if there is a mouse in my house, the cat can solve the problem for me.Task 3 个人陈述答题思路图片反映的是有些宠物饲养者的不文明饲养行为。考生可以从以下三个方面展开陈述：首先，描述图片反映的问题，即不文明饲养宠物到处可见；然后指出其危害，如污染环境，对邻居造成不便等；最后，提出解决问题的办法或建议，即解决不文明饲养宠物问题需要政府和相关部门采取措施，同时也要提高公民的个人素质。参考答案Candidate A:As is shown in the drawing, a dog owner just turned a blind eye to his dog’s droppings/excreta while walking his dog. Obviously the drawing tries to show us the uncivilizedbehavior of some pet owners in China. In some parts of China, uncivilized behavior amongpet owners is very common, such as not using rope to control their dogs, or not givingvaccines to their pets. These may no t only lead to pollution of the living environment in thecommunity, but also cause danger to the neighbors, especially the old and the young.28大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）Some people may say uncivilized behavior in keeping pets is only a trivial thing, but Ithink we should not neglect these small things if we want to build a healthy society. I hope thelocal authorities could implement the regulations for keeping pets. To promote the spiritualcivilization in China, the government should set up good examples for common people soas to provide a source of cultural and moral guidance for our people. Thus, we can have aharmonious relationship with pet owners.Candidate B:From the picture, we can see a dog owner just walk away from his dog’s dropping,ignoring the uncomfortable feeling of the passers-by about his uncivilized behavior. Thisdrawing has shown a common phenomenon in China that some pet owners are lack of publicmorality. I am sure they would not tolerate their pets to excrete in their own houses. So thesepet owners are really selfi sh to let their pets pollute the public surroundings.How to solve this kind of problem? From my point of view, it is very urgent to strengthenpeople’s consciousness of social morality. Also, the local community should install somefacilities for dumping pets’ droppings and also should advocate those pet owners to changetheir uncivilized behavior. In this way, we all can have a clean living community.Useful Expressions:excreta n. 排泄物vaccine n. 疫苗imp lement v. 执行excrete v. 排泄Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是两人就领养宠物问题进行讨论。根据题目要求，两位考生将共同讨论领养何种宠物以及其原因，并且商量出照顾宠物的具体方案。参考答案Candidate A: Hey, you know, there are a lot of stray animals now. And they have beencollected by some volunteers.Candidate B: Oh, really? Where are these animals now?Candidate A: They are now in an animal shelter on the corner of this street. Hey, what kindof animals do you like?Candidate B: I’m totally a dog-lover.29第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练Candidate A: Why? Why not cats?Candidate B: Because dog is loyal to its master and will never leave its master even if underdifficult circumstances; while cats may leave their poor master to seek forcomfort. Moreover, cats are much less communicative to people than dogs.Candidate A: Why don’t you keep a dog as your pet now?Candidate B: When I was a kid, I had a clever pet dog called “pineapple”. But it got ill, anddied, which made me cry for many days.Candidate A: I’m sorry to hear that. Hey, why not go to that animal shelter to adopt a dog?Candidate B: Good idea! I’d like to. But how can I keep it? You know, I have to work, andthere is nobody to take care of it at home.Candidate A: Don’t worry. Nowadays there are many places such as dogs’ houses or petstores to help take good care of your pet while you are not free. You can send itthere during the daytime. It only costs 30 yuan a day.Candidate B: Yeah. Your idea sounds great. I know there is a good dogs’ house nearby.

First, by studying abroad, I can acquirethe cutting-edge science and technology. Second, I can learn more about foreign cultures andenrich my experiences. Last but not least, I will become more independent in doing so.Task 3 个人陈述答题思路图片反映的是，中国的高中毕业生所面临的两种选择，一种是参加高考考上自己理想的大学；另一种是选择出国留学。建议考生从以下三个方面展开陈述：首先，描述图片，指出图片反映的现象，即高中毕业生所面临的不同选择；然后，分析这两种选择各自的利弊；最后，谈谈你对这一现象的看法。参考答案Candidate AWe can see in the picture, with the college entrance examination approaching, mosthigh school students prefer to take the college entrance examination, although some studentschoose to study abroad.Conventionally, taking the college entrance examination is the common practice forthe majority of graduates. Compared with the high tuition for seeking further educationabroad, this choice helps to save a lot of money. Besides, students will go through fewerchallenges like culture shock or being homesick. But the problem with this choice is the fi ercecompetition and the pressure that accompanies.35第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练However, studying abroad has the advantage of less academic competition as well asbroadening one’s horizons and enriching multicultural experiences. But life in a foreigncountry can be hard for teenagers as they’ll have to balance their studies, afterschool activitiesand part-time jobs.I think with China further opening up to the outside world and people’s living standardsimproving, more and more middle school students will choose to study abroad.Candidate BThe picture tells us that studying abroad is becoming more popular. An increasingnumber of students choose to study abroad after they graduate from high schools.Every coin has two sides. It has both advantages and disadvantages to study abroad. Forone thing, they can develop better with advanced facilities and teaching methods in thosemodern schools. For another, by communicating with foreign students or staying a long timewith them, they can get some valuable experiences.However, we can’t ignore the disadvantages while embracing the advantages. One fact isthat quite a number of overseas students feel disappointed as they can’t obtain what they hopefor, let alone success. If they are too young, they possibly can’t even tell right from wrong,and as a result some of them even commit crimes.In a word, whether to study at home or to study abroad depends on the individual. Weneed to take more factors into account before we make a decision.Useful Expressionsconventionally adv. 照惯例tuition n. 学费culture shock 文化冲突homesick adj. 思家的，思乡病的embrace v. 拥抱Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是一个考生打算出国留学，并且收到了耶鲁大学的录取通知书，但他/她却不知道该选择什么专业或选上哪些课程，于是和另外一名考生展开讨论，帮助他/她做出选择。根据题目要求，在讨论中的要点要包含：何时动身；所学的专业；选择哪些课程。36大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）参考答案Candidate A: I have good news for you.Candidate B: What?Candidate A: I received my acceptance letter to Yale!Candidate B: Wow!

Do youwant to help me decide which classes to take?Candidate B: Sure. What can you choose from?Candidate A: Well, I have to take all the fundamental courses, plus a few from my major.Candidate B: What is your major?Candidate A: I hope to major in English literature, but the admissions counselor told me thatmany people change their major many times in their fi rst year, so we’ll see.Candidate B: What are the fundamental courses?Candidate A: In order to graduate, every student must take a certain number of classes inhistory, math, English, philosophy, science and art.Candidate B: Interesting! That’s very different from the Chinese education system.Candidate A: Yes, it is. So which classes should I take now?Candidate B: In my opinion, you don’t need to sign for all the courses during the fi rst year.Anyway, you need to take some time to get used to the life there. So, I suggestyou take some courses in history, English, philosophy and art, which will notbe hard for you.Candidate A: Yes, you are right. I’ll take it.

And they can be left anywherein the public area along the street after the users scan the code to pay for the trip.Candidate B:I think there are many reasons for the popularity of sharing bikes. First, it is veryconvenient for people to use sharing bikes. People just need to download an app on theirsmart phones, then, they can use the phone to unlock any available sharing bikes by scanningthe QR codes on the bikes. Second, it is good for people’s health by riding sharing bikes. Last,the more people use sharing bikes, the less pollution there will be to the environment.Task 3 个人陈述答题思路图片反映的是共享单车给人们的生活带来便利的同时又给城市生活带来许多新的问题和挑战。建议考生从以下几个方面进行阐述，首先，简单描述图片，共享单车系统给人们生活造成什么问题；其次，分析共享单车为什么受到人们的欢迎，它给人们的生活带来什么便利；最后，谈谈共享单车目前存在哪些问题，给出合理的治理建议。参考答案Candidate AAs we can see in the picture, a lot of sharing bikes are parked randomly on the road,42大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）which blocks the traffi c seriously.Presently, bicycle-sharing system has become increasingly popular. A large numberof sharing bikes can be found and rented at a low price. Moreover, you can park the bikealmost anywhere you like if it is lawful. Urban transportation has thus been made much moreconvenient and even revolutionized.However, along with its rapid development, bicycle-sharing system also causes someproblems, including random parking, damage and exclusive possession of sharing bikes, etc.To solve these problems, the authorities should take some measures. Firstly, thegovernment could implement stricter laws and rules to regulate the operation and managementof bicycle-sharing system. Secondly, the public should raise their awareness of using sharedbikes properly. Lastly, urban transportation system should be upgraded and improved toaccommodate automobiles, bikes and pedestrians.Candidate B:With the development of science and technology, sharing bikes has come into people’slife. While they bring us much convenience, they also cause some problems.On the one side, sharing bikes make it very convenient for people to travel in shortdistance. You can fi nd a bicycle anywhere at any time when you want to go out for a cyclingand the price of one trip is very low. Therefore, it can save people’s time by using sharingbikes. On the other side, due to lack of social morality, some people park the sharing bikesrandomly on the roads, causing inconvenience or congestion to the public transport. Somepeople even deliberately damage the bikes, like throwing them into the rivers or destroyingthe QR codes on the bikes.In my opinion, we should take a developing view about sharing bikes. It is obviouslyhelpful to human beings as a high-tech product. The government should perfect the relevantlaws and regulations to regulate this market to overcome its disadvantages.Useful Expressions:randomly adv. 任意地，胡乱地lawful adj. 合法的exclusive adj. 独占的implement v. 实行accommodate v. 容纳pedestrian n. 行人，步行者social morality 社会公德deliberately adv. 故意地，蓄意地43第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是两人刚考完期中考试打算要在周末出去参观放松一下自己，但两人都没有自行车，因此打算租用共享单车去旅游景点。根据题目要求，在讨论中，至少需要谈到以下三点：什么时间去参观；确定参观的地点，可说明选择的理由；如何使用共享单车出行。参考答案Candidate A: Hi!

Why or why not?参考答案Candidate AYes, I do support college students in doing part-time jobs. Because by doing part-timejobs, they can enrich their experience and learn how to deal with things all by themselves.These experiences would be helpful for their future careers.Candidate BNo, I don’t agree college students to do part-time jobs. The main task for students is tostudy. Doing part-time jobs will take up too much of their precious time and infl uence theiracademic performance. What’s more, most students are lack of social experience, so they maybe cheated by some bad guys in the job markets.Task 3 个人陈述答题思路图片反映的是现在越来越多的大学生做兼职的现象。建议考生从以下三个方面展开陈述：首先，描述图片，指出图片所反映的现象，即越来越多的大学生从事兼职工作；然后，分析大学生做兼职的利弊；最后，对大学生做兼职提出一些建议。参考答案Candidate AThe picture vividly shows that nowadays many college students are taking part-time jobsoff campus in their spare time.Some people believe that taking a part-time job is very helpful. They can make somemoney and learn how to get along with people by doing part-time jobs. Furthermore, to take apart-time job provides the students with a valuable opportunity to put what they have learnedfrom books into practice.However, there are also some problems caused by part-time jobs. On the one hand, somestudents spend too much time doing part-time jobs while neglecting their studies. On the otherhand, some students may be cheated or get hurt by their employers, because they don’t know49第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练how to protect themselves.In my opinion, college students should keep good balance between study and part-timejobs. They can take some part-time jobs if their schedule permits. In addition, they also needto take some precautions against fraud while looking for part-time jobs.Candidate BThe picture tells us that an increasing number of college students choose to take part-timejobs in or outside school now. Is it a good thing for college students to work part time?It is true that excellent academic qualifi cations are something essential if you want to fi nda good job after you leave school. But on the other hand, for those who can easily get highmarks in examinations, it is worthwhile for them to gain some work experience in their sparetime. Such work experience will be favorable for them when they look for jobs later.In my opinion, it is hard to say taking part-time jobs is good or bad. It depends on howyou deal with the relationship between working and learning. If you can keep good balancebetween the two, you can not only gain enough knowledge in the university but also get afi rst-hand experience in work.Useful Expressions:neglect v. 忽视，疏忽precaution n. 预防，预防措施academic adj. 学术的fraud n. 欺骗，骗子Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是一位考生打算利用暑期找一份兼职工作，但又不知道该做什么样的兼职，于是和另外一名考生展开讨论，帮助他/ 她做出合适的选择。根据题目要求，在谈论中要包含：做兼职的时间，即在哪一个时间段去做；工作类型，即接受什么样的兼职工作；工作地点，即距离学校有多远、怎么出行等。参考答案Candidate A: The summer vacation is coming soon.

What do you think?Candidate B: I don’t think it’s a good choice to work in the fast food restaurants. You knowit’s tiring and demanding. Why don’t you have a try on translation?Candidate A: Hmm.

But women are still discriminatedagainst in various ways. For example, in many countries, women do not get equal pay forequal work.Question 2: How is women’s position in China? Give some examples to illustrate that.Candidate A:Women’s position in China has improved dramatically since last century. They nowenjoy the right to vote and to receive education, and in some workplaces women are makingsignificant progress, even in those traditionally male-dominated areas. And in family life,they take the same responsibility to support the family and to take care of the family as theirhusbands do.Candidate B:Women play the same important role as men do in today’s China. They are now thebackbone of China’s economy, as well as in many other parts in society. Their financialindependence has earned them the right to choose the job and life style as they wish. Andin family life, they can participate in decision-making on such issues like family businessoperation, fi nancial investment and housing purchases and so on.Task 3 个人陈述答题思路图片反映的是职场女性的忙碌生活，既要忙于家务又要照顾孩子。考生可以从以下三个方面展开陈述：首先，简洁地描述图片；然后，指出图片反映的现象与原因；最后，谈谈你对这一现象的看法。参考答案Candidate A:This picture vividly depicts a woman’s busy day—preparing the dinner while taking careof a baby. This is a typical day of a woman’s daily life; what’s more, she may be a workingwoman at the same time. That means she does the same job as men do in the workplace, andwhen she returns home, there are housework to do and kids to take care of.In today’s society, women are under great pressure. On the one hand, they have to work56大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）outside to compete with men despite their biological weakness; otherwise, they will never beeconomically independent, or gain equal status in family and in society. On the other hand,they have to take their traditional role as a housekeeper and a caregiver. So they may live likea superwoman to handle both work and family life.Candidate B:As we can see from the picture, a woman is preparing the dinner while taking care of ababy. This is what a housewife does every day. Traditionally, we believe a woman should stayat home doing the housework and taking care of the family members, while a man shouldwork outside to support the family.But in today’s society, both men and women have the right to choose whether to seeka career away from home or stay at home as a full-time housekeeper. So many womenmay work outside after getting married or giving birth to babies, because by doing so,they can pursue their career, seize their happiness, cultivate their children’s independence,and contribute their knowledge to benefi t the whole society; while a man may be gifted inhousekeeping, so it’s also reasonable for him to stay at home as a housekeeper.Useful Expressions:depict v. 描述workload n. 工作负担caregiver n. 照料者compete with sb. 与……竞争give birth to a baby 生孩子Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是讨论你认为在现代社会中女性是否受到公平待遇。根据题目要求，考生在讨论中应对女性地位的现状进行描述，并明确表达自己的观点：是或者否，并用足够的例子来支持自己的观点。参考答案Candidate A: You know women’s status in our society has improved dramatically in recentdecades.Candidate B: Yes, in some degree. But women are still discriminated against in various ways.Candidate A: I agree. Traditionally women are thought to be less capable, intelligent, logicaland even less reasonable than men. So they were encouraged to develop tenderthoughts and sentimental feelings and to be modest and obedient.57第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练Candidate B: But things have changed. After many long and bitter struggles, women nowenjoy the right to vote and they have the same educational opportunities as mendo in most parts of the world.Candidate A: True. Women are proved to be as capable as men. But there are still peoplewho hold the stereotyped view against women. So prejudice against womenstill exists. Even in the most progressive societies, women are still regarded assecond-rate citizens.Candidate B: Indeed. Though women are as capable as men in workplaces, they might not bepaid equally, let alone get promoted.Candidate A: And career women also have to shoulder more responsibilities in family life.Candidate B: So it’s very diffi cult to be a good wife, a good mother and a successful careerwoman at the same time.Candidate A: I really hope our society will show more mercy to women, for they are reallyworking very hard to maintain both their jobs and their families.Useful Expressions:dramatically adv. 显著地stereotyped adj. 固有的prejudice against sb. 对某人的偏见58大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）CET-SET 4Model Test EightTopic Area: CultureTopic: Cultural DifferenceExaminer:Hello, welcome to the CET Spoken English Test—Band Four.

And a youth hostel may be young travelers’ fi rst choice for its accessible prices.Question 2:Talk about one of your unforgettable travel experiences.参考答案Candidate A:Last year I traveled to America during Christmas time, and for the fi rst time I witnessedhow they celebrated the festival in person. For Americans, Christmas is a time for familyreunion, so students and employees might take vacations to join their families for the holiday.People decorated the outside of their houses or the trees in the yard with twinkling lights.They also hung red and green ornaments on the front doors, as well as in their living rooms.Family members prepared various kinds of foods and drinks for the dinner. It’s really aholiday of warmth, love and laughter.Candidate B:I have traveled to many places, and they all left me unforgettable impressions. Today Iwill talk about one of them. It was fi ve years ago, when my family and I traveled to Europe,we could not find our guide and got lost in Paris. Having little knowledge of French orEnglish, we could not get any help from anybody. Finally, my father asked the policemanfor help with his broken English. And the policeman located our hotel on the map and tookus there. From that incident I realized the importance of mastering a foreign language. Sincethen, I spent a lot time in learning English, and now I’m very confi dent about my English. Ibelieve that embarrassing experience would never happen to me again.Task 3 个人陈述答题思路根据题目要求，考生可以结合自身经历，谈及旅行的目的或意义所在。考生可以首先解释个人对题目的理解，列举不同人有不同的旅行目的；其次，谈及自身的旅行经历以及从旅行中得到的收获。62大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）参考答案Candidate A:Many people like traveling. They just feel happy when they are on the journey. But notmany people will think about the meaning of traveling. What is the meaning of traveling then?Actually, for me, one of the meanings is to fi nd happiness. Putting aside all the troubles toenjoy myself usually makes me happy.There is another important meaning. It is to learn things. To go out for a visit can enlargemy vision. I can learn a lot from it. Therefore, sometimes I will fi nd that some changes maytake place after I return home from a travel. It is because I have learnt the true meaning oftravel.Besides, what one gets out of their travels can be quite a personal experience. Somepeople travel to “fi nd themselves”. Some people travel to experience different cultures andcustoms. Some people travel to see the wonders of the world or the iconic landmarks. And forsome people, travel can get the feeling of freedom. For me, travel is about all of the above.Candidate B:I’m so happy I can travel out whenever I want and to any place I like. There’s a lot ofluck and happenstance involved—a lot of preparation, too—but I know it’s a great luck to beable to travel so many places.The purposes of my travel adventure range from experiencing a new culture, seeingpeople, trying new foods, to marking it off a list.Take my travel to Italy for example. Last summer I fi nally embarked on a trip to Italy—a country I always wanted to visit but never did. Besides visiting Italy for the tourist sites,art and museums, I focused heavily on finding the best Italian food, especially spaghettiand pizza! Sometimes, food and culture are often so intertwined that it’s often impossibleto separate the two. When traveling to particular destinations for food, wine and other localspecialties, I can also get a bite of the local culture. For me, that is what travel is all about.Useful Expressions:happenstance n. 偶然事件spaghetti n. 意大利面put aside 把……放在一边iconic landmark 标志性地标range from… to… 从……到……embark on 开始；着手63第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是讨论在旅行过程中所经历和体验到的不同文化。这个话题比较宽泛，考生应尽可能选择自己熟悉的领域、并结合自身所处的文化环境进行比较。参考答案中给出的范例就是以考生的亲身经历所体验到的中美两国的大学教育的差异。参考答案Candidate A: Hi, long time no see. How are you doing?Candidate B: Fine. How about you? I haven’t seen you for a long time.Candidate A: I just came back from the United States last week.Candidate B: Wow, what were you there for? Is the United States different from China?Candidate A: I went as a visiting student at New York University. And I found that theAmerican way of learning and teaching is quite different from that in China.Candidate B: Really? I have heard some of that. But I’m still curious about the differencesyou have found.Candidate A: In the United States, the professors always clarifi ed information through casesand specific examples. In China, professors usually focus on the abstractdefi nitions of concepts.Candidate B: That’s very true. We learn by rote but don’t know how to apply it in real-lifesituations. That’s part of the reason why many Chinese students don’t excel atcreativity, I think.Candidate A: Yes, I agree. In one of the classes, some businessmen from big corporationswere invited to explain how their financial operations work. It was reallyinteresting. I learned a lot. That kind of face-to-face communication withentrepreneurs is a new method of learning for me.Candidate B: I wish I could have a learning opportunity like that too.Candidate A: What impressed me most was the atmosphere in the class. Students raisequestions frequently during the lecture, which is rare in Chinese classrooms.There’s a lot of interaction between professors and students in America.Candidate B: I suppose that’s an example of cultural difference. In China, students tend to besilent in class because silence is always interpreted as modesty, a great virtue inChinese culture.

Most of thesepeople with HIV infection live in Africa and Asia. Because of extreme poverty, those affectedcannot afford HIV testing, medical services or the medicines that prolong life. Povertygoes hand in hand with HIV/AIDS. While poverty does not cause HIV/AIDS, it facilitatestransmission, makes adequate treatment unaffordable, accelerates death from AIDS-relatedillnesses and multiplies the social impact of the disease. Having HIV does not mean that youhave AIDS, but HIV is the cause of AIDS. Basically, it damages your body’s ability to fi ghtoff certain infections.

While poverty does not cause HIV/AIDS, it facilitates transmission, makesadequate treatment unaffordable, accelerates death from AIDS-related illnesses and multipliesthe social impact of the disease.Question 2: What would you do if you knew that one of your friends was HIV positive?参考答案Candidate A:I will try to help him/her, give him/her my love and care, understanding and support. Ialso will tell others that the virus will not spread through daily contact, like shaking hands,touching, coughing or sneezing.Candidate B:I will tell him not to be afraid of it. Though it can’t be stopped, it can be treated andcan be slowed down. Today, scientists have developed the new therapy, called combinationtherapy, which can slow down the damage that HIV does to the immune system.Task 3 个人陈述答题思路本题要求考生需要对艾滋病的相关知识有所了解，而作为大学生，这也是应该具备的基本常识，所以考生可针对两个方面进行回答：一是对艾滋病的定义；二是艾滋病的主要传播途径。参考答案Candidate A:AIDS is the abbreviation of Acquired Immune Defi ciency Syndrome. It is the name for agroup of unusual infections and cancers that can make people more vulnerable to illnesses. Sofar there’s no cure for this disease.There are four main ways of contracting HIV—sex, sharing needles, mother to babyand infected blood. For example, if you share needles or other drug injecting equipment thatcontains traces of HIV-infected blood, you can become infected with HIV. Also high rates ofHIV prevalence can be found among injecting drug users, for some of them may share needlesto inject drugs, so the risks of getting infected will roar up. I think our government should take69第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练some forceful and effective measures, otherwise the rate of HIV prevalence will continue togo up.Candidate B:AIDS is the short form of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. It is the mostdangerous disease which causes death rate even higher than that of cancers. So far there’s nocure for this disease.Unprotected sex, sharing needles, mother to baby and infected blood are the main fourways of contracting HIV. For example, if a pregnant woman has HIV, she can pass it on toher baby in three ways: during pregnancy, during birth, or through breastfeeding. High ratesof HIV prevalence can also be found among sex workers. By the year 2000, more than 10%of sex workers had been infected by HIV/AIDS. People can become infected with HIV byreceiving infected blood, blood products or donated organs as part of medical treatment.Useful Expressions:Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome 获得性免疫能力缺失综合征vulnerable adj. 易被攻击的prevalence n. 流行，普遍pregnant adj. 怀孕的roar up 急剧攀升Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目是讨论如何消灭艾滋病。考生可以结合政府、社会以及大学生三个方面各自的职责和功能，讨论各自可以采取的措施和行动。参考答案Candidate A: You know the theme of this year’s World AIDS Day is to “take actions toeliminate HIV/AIDS”.Candidate B: That means?Candidate A: The subtitle can explain that, that is to “make comprehensive prevention, activetreatment, and eliminate discrimination.”Candidate B: Oh, I know that slogan. Yesterday evening when I was on a bus I saw thatcampaign on the square. Staff workers delivered anti-HIV/AIDS pamphlets andcontraceptive devices, and played promotion radio programs to explain knowhowto local residents.Candidate A: Yes, that was the campaign organized by the local community. And the70大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）government as well as our ordinary people can also do something to eliminateAIDS.Candidate B: Yes, our government can, and actually has taken some measures to educatepeople about the risks of getting the disease. That would be helpful to eliminateAIDS. But I am not sure what we can do as college students?Candidate A: As college students, we should show concerns for HIV/AIDS patients, careabout them with benevolence and universal love, assist them to have confi dencein life and muster courage to fi ght the disease.Candidate B: Yes, because many people know little about the disease, some may discriminatethose who are carrying HIV.Candidate A: Actually, it’s common for HIV-campaigners to say that “we are all at risk”.Technically, this may be so.Candidate B: So it’s very necessary for every one of us to realize the risks. We must avoidusing recreational drugs that are injected with a syringe, and avoid usinginfected blood products and so on.Candidate A: Yes, for AIDS is not yet curable. But, you know many of the illnesses resultingfrom the condition can be treated today. Thanks for the new types of treatmentavailable, the survival rate has greatly improved. There are patients alive todaywho caught the infection over 30 years ago. So the outlook is much better thanit used to be.Candidate B: That is really encouraging.Useful Expressions:comprehensive adj. 全面的pamphlet n. 小册子benevolence n. 仁慈，善行syringe n. 注射器71第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练CET-SET 4Model Test TenTopic Area: Digital technologyTopic: Mobile PhoneExaminer:Hello, welcome to the CET Spoken English Test—Band Four.

The brilliant new mobile phone prototype looksmore like a piece of space-age jewellery than a phone. It is made up of two pieces: thewristband is the phone itself whilst the silver hoop is the earpiece. First, it can be attached toour wrists. The earpiece can be worn as a clip on our T-shirts. The most innovative featureis the fact that it can be open out into a fairly traditional phone size and shape with familiarfeatures: keypad, camera, music player, and transparent touch screen, and so on.Candidate B:My favorite device is iPad.

To76大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）look for his way, he uses a walking stick for direction.As mobile phones are becoming more and more advanced and useful, a growingnumber of people become addicted to them. This overuse of the phones may result in severalbad consequences. Firstly, it would be harmful to our health, especially to our eyesight.Secondly, it may be fatal if people use mobile phones when they try to cross a busy streetwithout paying enough attention to their surroundings. Last but not least, it would probablydamage interpersonal relationship as people are spending less and less time on face-to-facecommunication. Judging from the above evidence, appropriate use of mobile phones areextremely important for everyone who uses it.Candidate B:The picture describes the popular situation having been existed in today’s China foryears. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of information age, people arebecoming increasingly fascinated by the electronic products, especially the cell phones. Notsurprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playingonline games with the mobile phones. It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may havenegative impact on the relationship among people, and therefore they will become isolated.Personally, in terms of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we should limit the use ofmobile phones, and at the same time should reinforce face-to-face communication.Useful Expressions:interpersonal relationship 人际关系appropriate adj. 合理的fascinate v. 使着迷obsess v. 使着迷reinforce v. 增强Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是一个考生给另一个考生介绍一种新型的装置/ 设备。根据题目要求，讨论的要点要包含：什么装置/ 设备、它的功能和优势。参考答案Candidate A: I’ve heard that you’d bought a fashionable gadget.

How many can you fit inyour luggage? Which one are you going to take on board with you?Candidate A: Horrors of horrors…Candidate B: If you need a map or local guidebook when you are away, you connect thislittle device to the Internet and can download everything you need, completelyfree of charge.Candidate A: Yeah, but fi rst you have to go hunting round to fi nd an internet café or a wi-fihotspot or whatever…Candidate B: Not at all. It uses mobile phone networks… and it automatically downloads thelatest versions of newspapers, magazines and your favorite blogs.Candidate A: Yes, but looking at a small screen like that for hours on end cannot possibly begood for your eyes. I mean, it’s like sitting in front of computers for hours onend.Candidate B: Ah. It isn’t. There is no light on the screen, so no glare and very little eyestrain,just like reading a normal paper book, you can even read it in strong sunlight.Candidate A: Yes, but it isn’t a book.

Tourists’ visit will disturbthe normal teaching. If they are allowed to visit teaching buildings, libraries and so on, theywill make noise and probably throw rubbish everywhere. Next, if tourists trample grass totake photos, then the beautiful gardens on the campus will be spoilt. Their visits will not onlyaffect the environment of the campus but also disturb the students in their studies. In a word,83第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练I think the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. Therefore, I think the university doorshould not be open to tourists.Candidate B:In China, almost every university campus is like a beautiful garden with grandarchitecture. So I think the university campus should be open to tourists. For one thing, goingto a university is a dream for many Chinese young students. If the middle school students canhave a chance to visit a famous university, they will be much impressed by the scenery of theuniversity as well as by the cultural atmosphere. For another, as more tourists come to visituniversities, these universities can widen their infl uence as well and they can also make someprofi t from tourism.Useful Expressions:disturb v. 打搅trample v. 践踏impress v. 留下印象Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是一个考生给另一个考生讲解自己的一段经历。根据题目要求，讨论中的要点要包含：什么时候，在什么地点，发生了什么事情的经历等。参考答案Candidate A: I had a really scary experience last Saturday when I went camping with myfriend by the seaside.

Many tragic incidents havebeen reported recent years that one got hurt or even lost life when he or she was receiving aplastic or cosmetic surgery. For another, appearance is not the only standard we use to judgea person. It is one’s virtue that plays a far more important role in one’s life.

No two persons have exactly the sameappearance, not even twins.

It also found that someonewith a four-year college education earns two times as much as a high school graduate over alifetime.Question 2: Which is more important to you when choosing a university, school ormajor?参考答案Candidate A:I prefer a prestigious university to a comparatively good major. To me, entering a gooduniversity means standing on the threshold of a promising career after graduation. Meanwhile,a good university can give one more confidence as well as much competitive pressure.In today’s job-hunting society, graduates from famous universities can embrace moreopportunities than others.Candidate B:I believe choosing a good major is more practical. A good major not only gives youmotivation but also lets you face more competition. If your major is exclusive to only severaluniversities, you surely will become a scarce talent in the talent market. So I think it is wiserto choose a major which is suitable to you.Task 3 个人陈述答题思路图片是美国劳工统计局所做的一项调查，即在2011 年，美国人受教育程度与失业率、受教育程度与个人每周平均工资的关系。对于这类图片，一种方法是：从以下方面展开陈述：首先，描述图片，指出图片反映的问题，即受教育程度越高，失业率越低；受教育程度越高，周平均收入也相对越高；其次，分析出现这种现象的原因并谈谈你对这一现象的看法，可以得出结论：教育是一项有回报的投资。另一种方法是：只描写图片反映的情况，即受教育程度与失业率以及薪水的关系，描述时要用具体数据支撑，不必面面俱到，但是核心要点必须包含在内。参考答案Candidate A:The bar chart refl ects the unemployment rate and median weekly earnings in 2011 among110大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）people with different educational backgrounds. From these statistics, it can be concluded thatthe higher academic degree one possesses, the less likely he is to be unemployed, and theincome is in direct proportion to one’s educational background.Generally speaking, two factors contribute to this phenomenon. On the one hand, peoplewith lower educational degrees tend to be dismissed or substituted more frequently, for theirjobs usually feature low technologies and can be done by anybody. On the other hand, theadvancement of technology leads to a huge demand for workforce with higher educationaldegrees. Therefore, it’s natural for those with higher educational degrees to enjoy a steadierand better-paying job. So I deeply believe that education is indeed a worthy investment.Candidate B:As an increasing number of graduates fi nd it diffi cult to get a satisfying job after manyyears’ study, many people are questioning the worth of higher education. Yet the bar chartof the unemployment rate and median weekly earnings in 2011 reveals a forceful counterevidencethat the unemployment rate and the income have a lot to do with one’s educationalbackground.From the bar chart, we can observe that people with a doctoral degree earn 1,551 dollarsmedian weekly, ranking fi rst among people with other education levels. The median weeklyearnings of people with associate degree and below cannot reach the average of 797 dollars.As for the unemployment rate, only 2.5% of people who obtain a doctoral degree suffer fromunemployment. However, the unemployment rate of people with some college, no degree andlower degree surpass the mean value of 7.6%.So I fi rmly insist that a better education, in most cases, will secure a steadier and betterpayingjob.Useful Expressions:statistics n. 统计，统计数字或资料possess v. 拥有，具备proportion n. 比例，比重contribute to 带来，有助于，促成dismiss v. 解雇，开除substitute v. 替代counter-evidence n. 反证surpass n. 超过mean value 平均数，平均值111第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是一个考生在学习上遇到了困惑；另一个考生给他/ 她提供一些有效的建议。根据题目要求，在讨论中的要点要包含：有效利用课堂时间、合理安排课余时间，并就如何养成好的学习习惯给出自己的建议。参考答案Candidate A: Hey, Lily.

Doyou take notes in class and review them soon after while the information is stillfresh in your mind?Candidate B: I’m afraid I had no idea all those things were important for good study.Candidate A: Good study habits are essential for successful university life, Lily. Besides,from my own experience, you also have to find a quiet place, without anydistractions.Candidate B: Wow, I see.

I think there are three118大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）reasons accounting for this phenomenon. To begin with, there are more opportunities in bigcities for career development and wealth growth. Furthermore, the urban public service isbetter, such as education, medical care and transportation. Last but not least, people have moreentertainment options in big cities to enrich their life.Nevertheless, too many people pouring into big cities may cause some social problems,too. For instance, our government may suffer from greater social and economic pressure inorder to provide enough jobs and housing for the booming population of urban citizens. So Isuggest effective measures should be taken to limit the exceeding growth of urban population.Candidate B:Nowadays, a lot of people fl ock into big cities mainly in search of job opportunities andhigher living standard, and this worrying trend has an adverse impact on both rural and urbancommunities.The main problem associated with rural-urban shift is the increasingly sharp gap betweenrural area and urban area. Since more energetic and industrious people have found jobs in bigcities, the productivity of the workforce is in decline in rural area. Thus many rural residentsbear declining living standards. In addition, the inflow of numerous migrants will add asubstantial demand for housing and job opportunities in cities. Unfortunately, it is impossibleto satisfy all migrants’ needs within a short period of time, which will in turn cause a lot ofsocial problems. Therefore, I strongly insist that every effort should be made to reverse thistrend.Useful Expressions:urbanization n. 城市化，都市化account for 导致，对……负有责任pour into 涌入exceeding adj. 过度的flock into 聚集到，大批地涌进associate with 与……联系在一起industrious adj. 勤勉的productivity n. 生产力，生产率inflow n. 流入substantial adj. 大量的satisfy one’s need 满足……的需要119第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是两个考生讨论毕业后的打算。在对话中，两位考生应根据题目要求，谈话要涉及两方面的内容——继续读书深造还是选择就业，并就自己的看法给出合理的理由。考生可以在观点上有分歧，也可以就某点有共识，但在谈话最后要能够自然、合理地结束对话。参考答案Candidate A: My cousin is a junior and he is now planning for his future.

I remember he once told me he wanted to obtain the Doctor’s degreeso that he could have more choices in the talent market.Candidate A: Yes, he did say so in the past. But things have changed now. After hisinternship during the summer holiday, he found that practical experience ismore important than book knowledge.Candidate B: I can’t believe it! As for me, a better education will certainly guarantee moreopportunities and options when looking for a job. I have made up my mind tocontinue my study after graduation from college, and I want to strive for theMaster’s even the Doctor’s degree in the future. What about you?Candidate A: I am not sure.

I suggest you further yourstudy rather than hunt a job among the job-hunting army.

As is known to all, running is great for one’s heart and thewhole body. In addition, running is very convenient, which can be done everywhere withoutany tool. Every morning, I run at least two miles and it’s a great way to meet people. I usuallyrun on our school playground, and I have a good time out there in the sunshine before I go toclass.Candidate B:Swimming is my favorite sport in my spare time. It is said to be the best physical exercisesince it works out one’s whole body. And it really engages the breathing very fully. So whenI’ve done, I feel tired, but in a very satisfying way. What’s more, swimming is one of thesafest ways that one can exercise because you don’t hurt your bones or your muscles.Task 3 个人陈述答题思路图片反映的是当今时代，孩子们过分沉溺于收看电视节目这样一个社会现状。考生可以从以下三个方面展开陈述：首先，描述图片，指出图片反映的问题，即假期里儿童沉溺于观看电视节目；其次，可以谈一谈这种现象给孩子带来的负面影响，也可以从几方面来分析产生这种现象的原因；最后，谈谈你对这一现象的看法，提出一些建设性意见。参考答案Candidate A:As we can see from the picture, some children are indulged in watching TV during theholiday, which has become a social problem at present. To some people, they may argue thatTV has become an essential part in our life. We can obtain abundant information from it. But126大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）to children, I do believe that watching TV too much may cause more problems.In the first place, addiction to TV programs makes children less active to thinkindependently. Children would rely on the messages conveyed from the TV programs withouttheir own judgment. What’s more, few children have their parents’ company when watchingTV. Often they are so involved in the TV programs that they forget their own work and study.In my opinion, parents should timely guide the children when they are watching TV,helping them distinguish the good from the evil. At the same time, adults are responsible tochoose proper programs for their own kids.Candidate B:As is vividly showed in the picture, nowadays children are addicted to watching TV, fortelevision provides them with a more lively way to discover the outside world. They simplysit in front of the screen for hours just immersing in the interesting shows and cartoons insteadof reading lines and fl at words in the book. However, I think TV has a lot of drawbacks forchildren who are at the age of growing both mentally and physically.First, it’s no doubt that TV may cause health problems among children. Watchingthe screen for hours without any break, children’s eyesight will get hurt. Besides, theattractiveness of the TV shows locks children in the room instead of doing sports outside.What’s more, multimedia such as televisions and computers may make children diffi cult toconcentrate.In conclusion, watching TV excessively has more drawbacks than advantages. I suggestchildren should take more outdoor activities instead of staying at home watching TV all daylong.Useful Expressions:be indulged in 沉迷于essential adj. 基本的，必要的abundant adj. 丰富的，充裕的addiction n. 上瘾，沉溺convey v. 表达，传达be involved in 被卷入……中，参与be addicted to 对……上瘾，沉溺于immerse v. 沉浸，使陷入multimedia n. 多媒体127第二章大学英语四级口试模拟题训练Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是要求两位考生谈论自己的放松休闲方式。根据题目要求，考生的对话要考虑两方面，一是要谈及自己的放松方式；另一方面还要说明这种休闲方式给自己带来的好处。如果两位考生在谈论的过程中能有共鸣，则能更为自然、顺畅地结束对话。参考答案Candidate A: Oh my gosh! Finally the weekend is coming. Do you have any plan for theweekend?Candidate B: I will watch my favorite TV series all day long during the two days!Candidate A: Is that your only way for recreation? You see, it is certainly not good to watchTV too much.Candidate B: I know, but sometimes I am suffering too much pressure in study, and I fi nd itquite comfortable to lie in the couch, switching the channels from time to time.The interesting programs really make me relaxed and feel at ease. And what doyou usually do for recreation?Candidate A: I once did the same with you. But later I found there were more options for meto relax myself, so I turned to some exercise. And lately I’ve taken up yoga.Candidate B: Yoga? That’s amazing! I’ve heard that a lot of people are keen on this activity.Candidate A: Yes. It seems great for me. You know, I tend to move really fast in my dailylife, and yoga is very slow. When I do it, I am just forced to breathe and moveslowly.Candidate B: Sounds good. In fact, I used to run and work out with weights, but mostly Ienjoyed playing basketball.Candidate A: It’s a great workout, too. When I was at high school, I was also in the basketballteam. Playing basketball really strengthens my physique.Candidate B: I agree. And to me, it’s a lot of fun and I never get tired of it. Perhaps I willpick it up again.

The girl snugglesher head onto the shoulder of her boyfriend. Young couples can be seen everywhere oncampus. But, people’s opinions on campus love vary. Some people hold the view that campuslove is a bitter fruit which may cause pains to young lovers, while others declare nothing ismore wonderful than love.As far as I’m concerned, I do not quite agree with the two kinds of opinions mentionedabove. For one thing, since we are college students now, we should learn to take totalresponsibility and it is time for us to experience various kinds of growing pains, including love.So maybe we’d better be braver to pursue it in spite of the sorrows that might happen to us.However, I do not mean that study can be neglected comparing with love. For, as collegestudents our main task is study. Good education will equip us with knowledge and skillswhich will enable us to make a good living in the future. Those who abandon their study for134大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）the sake of love are rather idlers than idealists!Candidate B:Nowadays, campus love is popular. However, people have conflicting views on thisphenomenon. Some people believe that love will affect students’ study. They point out thatthose in love will pay more attention to their relationship and lag behind in study. Especially,when they are disappointed in a love affair, they would be in low spirit and have nowillingness to learn any more. Therefore, campus love should not be encouraged. But others,on the contrary, hold that love is an impetus for their study. Love can bring some comfort andwarmth to them. For this reason, they can get more motivation to learn. In addition, beingcrossed in love is a chance for them to understand themselves and others better, which helpsthem grow mature.In my opinion, campus love is a double-edged sword. It is true that it may cost you timeand money to pursue it, but it also adds color to your life and tell you how to give rather thanreceive. Therefore, when students fall in love on campus, it is advisable for them to arrangetheir time well and keep a balance between love and study.Useful Expressions:snuggle v. 依偎; 紧靠responsibility n. 责任neglect v. 忽略; 疏忽; 遗漏impetus n. 动力; 促进mature adj. 成熟的; 仔细考虑过的Task 4 双人互动答题思路本题要求两位考生共同完成。题目背景是两位考生谈论彼此对爱情以及婚姻的理解。在对话中，两位考生应根据题目要求，围绕爱情和婚姻两方面的主题给出自己的看法。考生可以在观点上有分歧，也可以就某点有共识，但在谈话最后要能够自然、合理地结束对话。参考答案Candidate A: How do you defi ne love?Candidate B: Well, I think love refers to the passion between male and female.

Some peoplecarve their names on the tree, and some people even climb the ancient tree to take photosignoring the “No Climbing” notice. The uncivilized behavior shows that a lot of people lacksocial mind when travelling.This phenomenon may do harm to our motherland and people. For one thing, when weare developing tourism to support the national economy, such behaviors are totally out ofplace. Besides, if these uncivilized behaviors were frequently reported by foreign media,China’s international image would be seriously undermined.To solve this problem, I think the government should take some measures. First, it shouldeducate people to observe public manners when traveling. Second, it should make laws andrules regulate tourists’ uncivilized behaviors.Candidate B:The picture vividly shows some uncivilized behaviors in tourism. Some tourists carvewords on the old tree. Some tourists climb the tree to take photos disregarding the notice thatsays “No Climbing”. As a college student, I feel really shameful for those behaviors.In our daily life, it’s not uncommon to see such kind of improper behaviors. For instance,some people speak loudly in public places, litter everywhere, and cross the roads ignoring thetraffi c lights. Undoubtedly, these behaviors have caused great damage to the image of Chinesepeople and our country as well.We need joint efforts to solve this problem. First, the government should play a rolein education and regulation. Those who violate the rules in public should be publishedaccordingly. Second, citizens should pay attention to their public manners, especially whentravelling to other countries. Only by doing so, can we build a civilized and harmonioussociety.Useful Expressions:behave in 以……表现uncivilized adj. 不文明的social mind 公德心undermine v. 渐渐破坏public manners 公共礼仪disregard v. 不理会，不顾harmonious adj. 和谐的，和睦的142大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）Task 4 双人互动答题思路题目设定的情景是两人将要进行一个为期3 天的旅行，因此需要讨论制订一份旅行计划。根据题目要求，在讨论中，需要谈到的要点包括：1. 确定旅行的地点，并说明理由；2. 拟定行程表，并详细说明这三天如何安排；3. 选择交通方式，并说明理由。参考答案Candidate A: Hi, Wang Fan, nice to meet you.Candidate B: Hi, Zhang Ying, nice to meet you too.

But three days is not too long, so I thinkwe should go to a place not too far. How about Wuxi? It is just about 200kilometers away from Nanjing.Candidate B: It’s a good idea. I heard Wuxi is a beautiful tourist city. I have long dreamed ofvisiting there. How can we go there? By coach or by high-speed train?Candidate A: Both will do. But I prefer the high-speed train. It’s fast and comfortable. Whatdo you think?Candidate B: I agree with you. Let’s take the high-speed train. We can start our journey at7:30 on the fi rst day, and may arrive at Wuxi at about 9 o’clock.Candidate A: Yes, you are right. So the fi rst day we can go to visit Taihu Lake.

The first step is to build a list ofmonthly expenses. You have to know the difference between the fi xed and variable expenses.It’s up to you how detailed this budget will be. In daily life, there are multiple things needingmoney, such as dating, tuition fees, haircuts, gifts, laundry, newspaper or magazines. At fi rst,you may be at a loss, but if you stick on, eventually you will benefi t from doing so. Overall,we will benefi t a lot from developing into this habit. In the end, you will have certain amountof money at hand to meet the future requirement. In this sense, saving money is defi nitelysignifi cant.Candidate B:If you’re constantly asking yourself “where did all my money go this month?” or you areconstantly waiting for your next paycheck, chances are that you don’t follow a budget. Youmay ask: why should I need a budget? What benefi t will it do for me?The importance of having a budget is that it sets the foundations to your fi nancial wellbeingand security. It gives you an insight into where your money is going and how muchmoney you can save each month by following it. A budget is extremely important when youare saving up towards a goal such as purchasing your daily needs, traveling or even paying145第三章大学英语四级口试真题及解析for your tuition.

In my point of view, this is good for both the families and the society. Firstly,many working mothers may need fl exible time to send their kids to schools in the morning.Secondly, flexible working time can reduce traffic jams on the road during rush hours.Thirdly, people have different working efficiency at different time. Flexible working timeallows employees to choose appropriate time periods when they are most effi cient. However,companies should also set core working time when every member of the company should bepresent, because there must be time for meetings or other events.Candidate B:As the society develops rapidly, some companies have introduced fl exible working timewith less emphasis on pressure and more on effi ciency. It’s a novel way for both the employersand the employees to carry out their assignments, but I do think the disadvantages of this newworking pattern outweigh the advantages. To begin with, in team-oriented departments, teamsneed to meet frequently. Flexible working time may lead to the lack of communication andcooperation among the staffs. In addition, employees who thrive in an offi ce environment mayfi nd it diffi cult to work when their colleagues don’t hold the same schedule. This is why manyemployers require core days and core hours during which everyone is in the offi ce.146大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）3. 为什么年轻人喜欢喝软饮料题目：Why do teenagers like soft drinks?答题思路当今社会，年轻人喜欢喝软饮料的现象很普遍。考生可以从分析什么叫软饮料（与hard drinks 的区别）角度出发，分析软饮料的特点和优势，从而得出年轻人爱喝软饮料的各种原因。参考答案Candidate A:Soft drinks are called “soft” in contrast to “hard drinks” which usually contain alcohol.The taste of soft drink is so great that teenagers like it, especially in summer or in theenvironment of high temperature. What’s more, in some parties, soft drink is the most choicefor young people because they are not likely to get drunk by drinking soft drinks. So drinkingsoft drinks can ensure people’s security in both physical and mental health. In addition to this,youngsters choose soft drink as their daily drink for its convenience, especially during thetravels or some trips.Candidate B:Nowadays, more and more young people tend to choose soft drinks in their daily life. Wecan easily see them, especially students, drinking varieties of soft drinks anytime. The reasonsfor this may be as follows. First of all, soft drinks are everywhere. They are displayed invending machines, at fast-food chains, and supermarket checkouts and so on. You will noticethem easily. Moreover, billions of dollars are spent on advertising and marketing soft drinks instores, restaurants, gas stations, museums, even schools, etc. It is impossible for young peopleto resist the temptation of them. Ultimately, soft drinks are relatively cheaper than those harddrinks, so young people can afford them.4. 沟通技巧的重要性题目：The importance of communication skills答题思路本部分的主题为“沟通技巧的重要性”。良好的沟通技巧可以帮助人们更好地与周围的人沟通，也可以帮助人们更好地表达自己的观点，解决争议。因此学习沟通技巧已经成为当今社会的一项基本技能。147第三章大学英语四级口试真题及解析参考答案Candidate A:It’s important to master some communication skills. Good communication skills arenecessary in all walks of life. The lack of effective communication skills has a negativeimpact on the personal as well as professional life of a person.Firstly, appropriate communication skills can help you get along well with your parentsand family members. Family plays a critical role in our life. Effective communication withyour family members benefits you a lot. What’s more, skilled communication helps youto solve many problems encountered in your work and life and improves your workingeffi ciency. Good communication skills also allow you to make a better impression on others.Above all, excellent communication skills contribute a lot to your interpersonal relationships.It is very important in our social life, so learning better communication skills is becoming oneof the basic skills nowadays.Candidate B:It is impossible to overstate the importance of good communication skills. In today’ssociety, we have to cooperate with others in our work. A good communicator fi nds it easierto put forth his ideas clearly and can play a valuable role in resolving disputes or enhancingcooperation.In business operations, communication skills are also important either inside or outsidethe company. Within the company, management and all business activities involve variousinterpersonal contacts. Communication skills serve as a lucrative agent that leads to effi cientmanagement and teamwork that result in high production and profi t. Outside the company,communication skills may attract media attention, dealers and potential customers and hencegenerate good corporate image and loyalty of dealers and customers.In a word, I believe that good communication skills are not only most important toanyone but also important in any situations, so a skillful communicator will always be in highdemand.5. 全球化视野下汉语的未来题目：The future of the Chinese language in a globalized world答题思路根据所给的题目：全球化视野下汉语的未来，建议考生在做个人陈述时，要抓住“全球化”和“汉语”这两个关键词，突出汉语的地位如何在全球得到不断地提升。考生在陈述时，可结合现实生活的事例（如孔子学院），展望汉语在全球化视野下未来的发展趋势。148大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）参考答案Candidate A:In recent years, with the development of globalization, a great number of foreigners havecome to China to learn Chinese. What’s more, over one hundred countries in the world haveopened Chinese language classes. Most of foreigners’ main purpose of learning Chinese is totravel in China, do business or learn about China and Chinese culture. Chinese people havealways been peace loving and friendly. I believe in a globalized world, as the communicationbetween Chinese and people around the world increases, more and more foreigners will beinterested in Chinese culture and will learn Chinese language.Candidate B:What is the future of the Chinese language in a globalized world? The world is changingso rapidly, from national politics to people’s livelihood. Definitely, language is one of themost important tools in these changes. With China’s further opening up to the outside world,Chinese is becoming more and more popular among foreigners. An increasing numberof foreigners come to China to study or travel. They try to learn Chinese so that they cancommunicate with Chinese people and learn more about Chinese traditions and customs.Some of them even want to stay in China due to abundant opportunities in China. On the otherhand, China has established hundreds of Confucius Institutes around the world. In doing so,more foreigners will be interested in learning Chinese language and culture in the future.6. 摆脱贫困的方法题目：The most effective method to fi ght against poverty答题思路根据所给题目：消除贫困的最有效的方法，考生可以先提出问题，从当代我国的基本国情入手，即一部分地区先发展起来，仍有很多边远地区经济水平落后，如何帮助这些地区脱贫致富，提高我国的整体经济水平；然后，陈述解决问题的方法。亦可结合自身情况，陈述个人如何摆脱贫困。参考答案Candidate A:As for individuals, how to get rid of poverty and become well-off is really a question.I think there are at least three aspects to consider. First of all, we need to learn as muchas possible from books, from others to equip ourselves with knowledge and skills thatare essential for a well-paid job. The more skilled and knowledgeable you are, the moreopportunities you will have, and the more likely you are to live a wealthy life. What’s more,149第三章大学英语四级口试真题及解析make a wise investment. Try to set aside some of your income to any asset or item that isprofitable. Wealth can be accumulated in this way. Finally, don’t forget to keep yourselfhealthy. There’s a saying in English that health is best wealth. A lot of families becomepoverty-stricken because of illness. What a shame! So, try to exercise regularly, eat and sleepwell. A strong body is the foundation for your work.Candidate B:With the development of economy, especially since the reform and opening-up, ourcountry has become more and more prosperous. It seems that poverty is no longer aroundus. But in some remote areas, there are still many families who cannot afford their children’stuition or medical expense. Therefore, we should endeavor to fi ght against the poverty. Thereare many ways to help those in need. For instance, we can donate some money and dailynecessities to them. What’ more, we can serve as volunteers to teach in village schools. Ithink education can arm the local people with certain living skills in modern society and thus,relieve the poverty there. I think the most effective way to eradicate poverty is that we shouldchange people’s concept and ideas in those poverty-stricken areas. Only by taking actions stepby step can we fi ght against poverty and improve the overall economic level of our country.7. 老龄化问题题目：Ways to cope with an aging society答题思路要求陈述的主题是应对老龄化社会的方法，建议考生从两个方面展开陈述：1）引出问题，老龄化的问题变得越来越严重；2）提出应对的办法，比如：政府应该调整相关政策，完善医疗制度和养老制度，设立更多老年活动中心，以丰富老年人的晚年生活。参考答案Candidate A:Nowadays, many countries are faced with the problem of an aging society. China is noexception. Here are a few suggestions to cope with it. Firstly, society should admit the aginggroup’s contributions to the society, and offer decent retirement pensions or subsidies to them.Secondly, setting up activity centers in communities is a good way for not only old people butalso young people to keep healthy. Thirdly, for those seniors who have skills and would liketo continue working in the job market, society should provide support to prolong their retiringage or rehire them after retiring.Candidate B:Since China’s reform and opening-up, China has witnessed solid and rapid growth150大学英语口语考试训练教程真题、模拟与解析（四级版）of economy. In the meantime, the number of elder population has been increasing sharplydue to the adoption of family-planning policy. To some extent, China has moved intoan aging society now. How to cope with this issue has aroused a wide public concern.With the emergence of much elder population, our society must take some measures to meetthe needs and requirements of the aged. Firstly, their healthcare is the main issue. For thispart, I think we must build some elder-oriented hospitals and community clinics, where eldercaring is the priority and all the physicians should be professional at how to treat commondiseases of elder people. Furthermore, recreational activities should also be put into agenda.After their retirement, the elder also need to participate in the community activities. In myopinion, a variety of clubs and groups, such as dancing, boxing exercise, can be organized toenrich the life of elder people.8. 高等教育题目：Higher education答题思路根据所给的主题：高等教育，建议考生从微观和宏观两个角度来分析高等教育的裨益。从微观角度来讲，我们接受高等教育可以给自己未来的职业铺好道路, 让自己过上更好的生活；从宏观角度来说，高等教育有利于提高一个国家的整体劳动力的竞争力和水平，为社会的良性发展注入新鲜的血液。参考答案Candidate A:Developing higher education is benefi cial to both individuals and the whole country. Onone hand, higher education can help people develop strong self-esteem, motivate individualsto strive for higher goals. People receiving higher education can live and work with moreenthusiasm, clearer goals and better quality. What’s more, higher education can foster greatercreativity, innovation and efficiency. Ambitious people are more likely to give full play totheir potentials. On the other hand, universities aim to equip students with the knowledge andskills which are necessary to be competitive in an increasingly knowledge-based economy.So, the development of higher education can improve productivity and competitiveness oflabor force, making more contribution to the growth of the knowledge-based economy.Candidate B:There is a saying that “knowledge is power”. To develop higher education is benefi cialfor both individuals and the country as a whole. For one thing, with the advancement oftechnology and the adjustment of industrial structure, quite a few high-tech industries emergeovernight, which leads to a soaring demand of workforces with high educational degree. That151第三章大学英语四级口试真题及解析is why graduates with bachelor’s and higher degrees can get a high pay-packet and enjoy astable job. For another, the competition between nations depends largely on the competitionof talents. If we want to build a strong and prosperous country, we need to develop highereducation well.
