Task1: Retelling a story

①I once knew an old man whose bad memory made him famous./ John Smith was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot/ what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence./ His wife had to constantly remind him about his meetings, his classes – even his meals!/ ②Once he forgot he had eaten breakfast twice, at home and at school. /His wife liked to remind her neighbors,/ “If John didn’t have his head tied on, he would forget that too!”/ ③Since Smith was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness was often an embarrassment./ It wasn’t that he was not clever, as some critical people tended to say,/ but just very, very absent-minded./

④One hot summer day, Professor Smith decided to take his children to a seaside town about a three-hour train ride away. /To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he kept the name of the town a secret./ ⑤However, by the time they arrived at the station, Smith forgot the name of the town he was planning to visit./ Luckily, a friend of his happened to be at the station. /He offered to take care of the children while Smith hurried back home to find out where he was going./

⑥The professor’s wife was surprised to see him again so soon.

“Oh, my dear, I forgot the name the town.”

“What? You forgot the name? Maybe one day you will forget my name! Now I’ll write the name of that town on a piece of paper, and you put it in your pocket and please, please don’t forget where you put it.”

⑦Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later she was astonished to see him outside the house for the third time.

“What is the matter now?”

“As you told me, I didn’t forget where I put the name of that town, but I forgot where I left our children!”

Task2: Talking on a given topic

Directions: Describe a teacher of yours whom you find unusual.

Task3: Role-playing

Student A:You think this friend should go by all means, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember you should start the conversation.

Student B: You think this friend should finish college in China before thinking about going abroad, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember your partner will start the conversation.

2002:

Task1: Retelling a story

①Whenever Mr. Smith goes to Westgate, he stays at the Grand Hotel. /In spite of its name, it is really not very “grand,”/ but it is cheap, clean, and comfortable. /②Since he knows the manger well, /he never has to go to the trouble of reserving a room. /The fact is that he always gets the same room./ It is situated at the far end of the building/ and overlooks

a beautiful bay./

③On his last visit, Mr. Smith was told that he could have his usual room,/ but the manager added apologetically that it might be a little noisy./ “So great was the demand for rooms,” the manager said, “/that the hotel had decided to build a new wing.” /Mr. Smith said that he did not mind./ It amused him to think that the dear old Grand Hotel /was making

an effort to live up to its name./

④During the first day Mr. Smith hardly noticed the noise at all. The room was

a little dusty, but that was natural. ⑤The following afternoon, he borrowed a book from the hotel library and went upstairs to read. No sooner had he sat down than he heard someone hammering loudly at the wall. ⑥At first he paid no attention, but after a while he began to feel very uncomfortable. His clothes were slowly being covered with fine white powder. ⑦Soon there was so much dust in the room that he began to cough. The hammering was now louder than ever and bits of plaster were coming away from the walls. It looked as though the whole building was going to fall. ⑧Mr. Smith went immediately to complain to the manager. They both returned to the room, but everything was very quiet. As they stood there looking at each other, Mr. Smith felt rather embarrassed for having dragged the manager all the way up the stairs for nothing. ⑨All of a sudden, the hammering began again and a large brick landed on the floor. Looking up, they saw a sharp metal tool had forced its way through the wall, making a very large hole right above the bed!

Task2: Talking on a given topic

Direction: Describe an embarrassing situation in which you got very angry.

Task3: Role-playing

Directions: The geology department of a major university is planning to admit 30 male and 5 female students. However, the results of the college entrance examination show that by average, of all the applicants, females have scored higher than most males. Should the department stick to its original plan?

Student A: You think the department should still stick to the original plan, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember you should start the conversation. Student B: You don’t think the department should stick to the original plan, and you should try to convince your partner. Remember your partner will start the conversation.

2003:

Task1: Retelling a story

①Just as Jane was joyfully expecting her first child, /her active, energetic mother began losing her battle with a brain disease./ For ten years, the fiercely independent and courageous mother had fought,/ but none of the surgeries or treatments had been successful./ At only fifty-five, she became totally disabled- //unable to speak, walk, eat or dress on her own./

②As the mother grew closer and closer to death, the baby grew closer and closer to life./ Jane was afraid that her mother and her baby would never know each other. /Her fear seemed well-founded. /A few weeks before her due date, her mother lapsed(lapse 堕落，流逝) into a deep coma./ The doctors did not hold any hope./ It

was useless to put in a feeding tube, they said, /for Mother would never awaken./ So Jane brought her mother to her own bed in her own house. /As often as she could, she sat beside her mother,// talking about the baby moving inside her./

④On February 3, 1989, at about the same time Jane began to feel birth pains, Mother opened her eyes. Jane called home.

“Mom, listen. My baby is coming! You’re going to have a new grandchild. Do you understand!”

“Yes,” Mother answered.

What a wonderful word! The first clear word she’d spoken in months.

⑤By the time Jane brought her son home, her mother was sitting in her chair, dressed and ready to welcome the baby. For two weeks, Mother clucked, smiled and held the new-born baby. Then she quietly became unconscious and, after visits from all her children, was finally free of the pain.

⑥For Jane, memories of her son’s birth will always be bittersweet, but it was at this time that she learned an important truth about living. While both joy and sorrow pass quickly, and often come together at the same time, love has the power to overcome both. And love can last forever.

2005：

Task1: Retelling a story

①A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.

②One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly, and the first floor of the house was soon engulfed in flames.

③Neighbors called the fire department, then stood helplessly by, unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an upstairs window, crying for help, just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.

④Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder, put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms. He delivered the child to the waiting arms below, then disappeared into the night.

⑤An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives,/ and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall/ to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up./

⑥A teacher said she would like to raise the child./ She pointed out that she can ensure her a good education./ A farmer offered her an upbringing on his farm./ He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy

and satisfying./ Others spoke, giving their reasons why it was to the child’s advantage to live with them./ Finally,the town’s richest resident rose and said,/ “I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here,/ plus money and everything that money can buy.”/ Throughout all this, the child remained silent, her eyes on the floor./

⑦“Does anyone else want to speak?” asked the meeting chairman./

A man came forward from the back of the hall./ He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain./ /

When he got to the front of the room, he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms. His hands and arms were terribly scarred.

The child cried out. “This is the man who rescued me!” With a leap, she threw her arms around the man’s neck. She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments. Then she looked up and smiled at him.

Task2: Talking on a given topic

Direction: Please tell us one incident in which someone was trying to help others despite danger to his own safety.

Task3: Role-playing

Many university graduates are competing for the position. As a sophomore in the university, you think that they are applying for a job unworthy for their talents. Try to persuade your partner that you are right. Remember you will initiate the conversation.

Student B: The manager of a world-famous hotel wants to recruit a new member as the hotel’s bellboy, offering him a salary of 3000 yuan per month.

2004:

Task1: Retelling a story

Pat Jones

Bolivia

①When she was 22 years old Pat Jones decided that she wanted to travel around the world/ and see as many foreign places as she could/ while she was still young. /When she finished college at home in Britain,/ Pat chose to visit Latin America first,/ so she managed to get a job as an English teacher in a secondary school in Bolivia. /Pat spoke a little Spanish,/ so she was able to communicate with her students/ even though they did not know much English./

②A sentence she had once read somewhere stuck in her mind: /if you dream in a foreign language,/ it means that you have really mastered it./ Pat repeated this sentence to her students /and she hoped that someday

she would dream in Spanish/ and they would dream in English./

③One day, Tim, one of the worst students in her class, came up to her and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He said that he had gone to bed early and had slept badly. Pat was quite angry with him, for she did not think that his explanation had anything to do with his homework. But Tim told her that he dreamed all night and his dream was in English.

④“In English!” Pat thought. She was greatly surprised, since Tim was such a bad student. She was also secretly jealous. Her dreams were still not in Spanish, but she decided to encourage her student and asked him to tell her about his dream.

“All the people in my dream spoke English,” Tim said. “And all the signs were in English. All the newspapers and magazines and all the TV programs were in English.”

“But that’s wonderful,” said Pat. “What did all the people say to you?” she asked.

“I’m sorry. Miss Jones, That’s why I slept so badly all through the night. I didn’t understand a word they said. It was a nightmare!” Tim answered.

Task2: Talking on a given topic

Directions: Describe one of the most unpleasant dreams you’ve ever had.

Task3: Role-playing

Student A: Nowadays higher education is getting more and more expensive. To quite a number of families it has become a big financial burden. You try to discuss this problem with student B. You think that parents should pay tuition for their children since college students do not yet have any regular income.

Student B: Nowadays higher education is getting more and more expensive. To quite a number of families it has become a big financial burden. You try to discuss this problem with student A. Your opinion is that it is unfair to put this big burden on parents since college students are already adults. Students themselves should find ways to pay their own tuition.

2006：

Task1: Retelling a story

①A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty glass jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks right to the top, rocks about two inches in diameter.

②He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open spaces between the rocks. The students laughed.

③He asked his students again if the jar was full. They agreed: yes, it was.

The professor then picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up all the remaining space.

④“Now.” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this is your life.”

The rocks are the important things –your family, your partner, your health, your children– anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you would be nearly destroyed. The pebbles are the other things in life that matter, but on a smaller scale. The pebbles represent things like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff.

⑤If you put the sand or the pebbles into the jar first, there is no room for the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your energy and time on the small stuff, or material things, you will never have room for the things that are truly most important. Pay attention to the things that are critical in your life. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. Talk with your parents. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. “Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just pebbles and sand. They will take care of themselves.”

Task2: Talking on a given topic

英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题及解析

2016年英语专业四级考试词汇语法真题 参考答案与解析 11. How can I concentrate if you _________ continually ______ me with silly questions? A. have… interrupted B. are… interrupted C. had… interrupting D. were… interrupting 选A。虽然我觉得更应该说you are continually interrupting me with silly questions。不过这里用现在完成时表示的是一个动作发生过成为过去经历，有可能多次发生，也就是打断一次、两次、三次等等不断重复到现在。 12. Among the four sentences below, Sentence ___ expresses the highest degree of possibility? A. It may take a long time to find a solution to the problem. B. It might take a long time to find a solution to the problem. C. It could take a long time to find a solution to the problem. D. It should take a long time to find a solution to the problem. 选D。四个里把握度最高的是should，其次是may，最后是might和could。 13. She is a better speaker than _____ in the class. A. any boy B. the other boys C. other any girl D. all the girls 选A。主语是she，女的，所以不能选B。C的正确说法是any other girl。 14. Nobody heard him sing, ______? A. did one B. did he C. didn’t they D. did they 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》（章振邦）317页，nobody这种附加疑问句，书面语里用he。口语里偶见they。实际上，现代英语里为了避免有语言歧视（为什么只有he，没有she），很多人都避免只用he，而多改为they。 15. I can’t put up with ________. A. that friend of you B. that friend of yours C. the friend of you D. the friend of yours 选B。根据专四语法出题依据的书《新编英语语法教程》（章振邦）57-58页，这种双重属格结构所修饰的名词可带a, any, some等表示非确定特指的限定词，但通常不带定冠词。比如a daughter of Mrs. Green’s, any/some daughters of Mrs/ Green’s。 16. There has been an increasing number of _______ in primary schools in the past few years. A. man teacher B. men teacher C. man teachers D. men teachers 选D。合成名词复数，man/woman这种，两种都要变成复数，比如women drivers。

大学英语四级口语应试技巧汇编

大学英语四级口语应试技巧汇编 由于近年来，参加口语考试的门槛进一步降低，每年都有更多的考生获得参加口语考试的机会。那么如何准备口语考试呢? 技巧1：考前热身，了解你的搭档 考试之前，考官会对所有考生进行随机分组，通常三个人一组，会给一定时间让你们交流，这就是所谓热身。 千万不要小瞧你的搭档，大家要抓紧时间交流，这样等到正式考试时，大家才能有好的配合。 比如，我在考口语的时候，有一个搭档是个内向的女生。我在听她的发音时比较累，有时只能猜测。最后一个部分是一个商业宣传的案例，结果我们做的策划是两个截然不同的方向，她大概也没有经历过类似的考试，根本不与我配合，于是到最后也没有达成一致意见。 技巧2：精心准备自我介绍 考前有一个自我介绍，你要准备得有特色，生动一点，因为这关系到第一印象的问题，你在第一时间内所展现出来的个性特征很可能在主考老师的心里持续到最后一分钟。 你不要把自我介绍弄得太冗长，不要为了使用某些夸张的语句，而使本该简短的文字变得复杂。 技巧3：悉心倾听同伴发言 口语测试中的专心应该是从始至终的，最好能做到悉心倾听每一个搭档的发言。

因为考官很有可能突然点名让你发表意见，如果你没有专心听懂其他人的观点，那么你就可能不知道自己该说点什么。我考试的时候遇到的另一位搭档是研究生，但他的口语基本上在初中水平，但是幸亏我当时一直认真地听着他的发言，不然当考官突然让我接下话题时，我就可能不知道自己该说些什么了。 技巧4：学会解释开放性问题 要学会对问题进行开放性解释，不要只给出简单的答案。这个也许是个很个人的问题，是个习惯问题。但考试是有时间限定的，老师也许会示意你做进一步阐述，所以见到问题的时候就应该有比较完善的，综合各方面因素的理解。 但不要给出让人过于吃惊的回答，尤其不要拿出新生代人物对一切都毫不在乎的态度，最好是表现得成熟一点，有条理，有逻辑，有道理。因为大家都是接受过高等教育的人，不要在一些简单问题上显得幼稚和无知。 技巧5：六招教你快速提高四六级口语 相对于雅思考试中的其他单项，口语是不少考生的弱势项目。除备考要细致，考试时的一些细节也要引起考生注意，提醒大家尤其要注意以下八个细节问题。 Keep eye contact.保持眼神交流 中国考生在答题时往往眼睑自然下垂，是一种内敛的表现。可在欧美人看来，这种回避的眼光可能是一种缺少安全感、不自信的表现。在雅思口语考试中，考官提问时会一直与考生保持眼

(屏幕显示以下文字) Many people would list San Francisco as one of the most delightful cities in the world. Sitting on the Pacific coast, it gives you a feeling of the sea. The sea breezes wake you up and make you eat well and sleep well. The city was planned with straight roads, and these roads cross each other at right angles, making squares as they do in many American cities. Very often you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, looking down one of these straight roads as it rises and falls on its journey through the town. A good way to travel these roads is by cable car. These are buses that run on rails in the ground up and down the steep hills. (考生准备时间45秒) Now please begin to read on hearing the beep.

(屏幕显示以下文字) Many people would list San Francisco as one of the most delightful cities in the world. Sitting on the Pacific coast, it gives you a feeling of the sea.

The city was planned with straight roads, and these roads cross each other at right angles, making squares as they do in many American cities. Very often you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, looking down one of these straight roads as it rises and falls on its journey through the town. A good way to travel these roads is by cable car. These are buses that run on rails in the ground up and down the steep hills.
