大学英语四口语测试题目

1.Some people prefer to spend most of their time alone. Others like to be with friends most of the time. Do you prefer to spend your time alone or with friends Personally，I prefer to spend most of my time alone．Friends are important in our growth，but we should not forget the shortcomings of spending too much time with friends．No matter what we do, we should try our best to do it all by ourselves.

First，sometimes staying together with too many friends may mislead us into doing something wrong．As the saying goes, one takes the behavior of one's company．For example, if you are always spending time staying with a friend who is addicted to computer games, maybe some day you are to be addicted too. Take me for example, when I was in Grade 9, I had three best friends.Not only did we study together at school but also we spent most time playing together after school. Both teachers and students admired us for our friendship. .

2.Some people say, “Only people who earn a lot of money are successful. ” What’s your opinion about it?

Is it true that only people who earn a lot of money are successful? Recently the controversy has been brought into focus. We cannot deny the fact that money is one of the yardsticks against which how much one has achieved is measured. However, in stark contrast, many people would rather stick to an opposite view.

The rhetoric that only when people have earned a colossal sum of money can they be regarded successful is not only unreasonable, unconvincing, or misleading but also absurd and

ridiculous in that it has obviously neglected the celebrated scientists,

sociologist,

psychologists,

philosophers

and

anthropologists who may have never had enough money to live a comfortable and convenient life yet they are virtually successful. For instance, Albert Einstein, The greatest physicist of the 20th century who created the theory of relativity and was awarded the Nobel Prize, was immune to becoming wealthy.

3.Say something about “terrorism”.

When we hear the word ‘terrorism’, we will think of the 911 event, which cause d much damage. In fact, international terrorism has existed since World War Two. A s society develops, many means have been used in terrorism such as hijacking, expl osion, kidnapping and so on, which attracts much attention in the whole world. Faced with so many terrorist activities, we can not help to think about the roots of t errorism. In my opinion, there are three reasons for the problem. Firstly, extreme n

ationalism, which is intended to resist the foreign oppression and seek for national independence, is the main root of terrorism. Although some countries did succeed by this way in history, the way itself should not be advocated. Besides, terrorism is the product of intensification of contradictions in the domestic and overseas. In oth er words, the gaps between rich and poor countries become wider and wider, leadi ng to terrorism against the globalization of capitalism. In all, the main reason lies in the economy. So, how to make fair distribution around the world is worth thinking deeply. Last but not least, religious factors and cultural conflicts should be responsi ble for this serious problem. As we know, some crazy religious believers play impor tant role in terrorist events in several years.

4.High schools should allow students to study the courses

that students want to study. Do you agree with it? Why?

H igh school is a very important time in a person's educational career. During this period, they will learn many

of the skills necessary to be successful in university and the work world. There are both advantages and

disadvantages of students picking their own courses in high school. The disadvantages are that high school

students are too young to have good judgment about what they really require and also, it's very important for a

young person to get a rounded education. The advantage of adolescents picking their own courses is that people

should be able to start exploring their aptitudes at a young age.

5.Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which opinion do you agree with? Why?

Nowadays, people always talk about the role of advertising in daily life. Some people claim that advertising transmits some useful information to improve our lives; others maintain that it usually lures people into buying something they virtually do not need .The latter is also my point. There are , among other things, three main aspects that I will explore to support my view.

It is true that advertising sometimes tell us about new products needed by us. For example, the advertising of digital television , at the present time soaring all over the channels, gives some knowledge on how to choose economically and how to maintain effectively. So if you

have little or no relative information in this field, the advertising, certainly, can give you a help. However, this

advantage is much trivial when compared with its negative influence.

6. Some people prefer to spend their free time outdoors. Other people prefer to spend their spare time indoors. Would you prefer to be outside or would you prefer to be inside for your spare activities? Why?

7. Many parts of the world are losing important natural resources, such as forests, animals, or clean water. Choose one resource that is disappearing and explain why it needs to be saved. As we all know, the plant we live is not as clean as before. There is no doubt that it is because human beings increase the production of goods and ignore the effect sid e from the pollution being released to the environment nearby. Although we have already realized how serious the loss of raw material and natural resource is, all the method of repair still can’t fix it as before, just as we can’t create another chance to save these extinctive animals. However, I’d like to analyze the decreasing of clean water.

Scientists have ever claimed that there was only 2.5 percent of water we could use over the rest of water in ocean, which meant although water covered more area th an land, it was still can’t satisfy people’s need of water. Excluding fat, water composes approximately 70% of human body by mass. In some poverty, because of the lack of clean water, they used polluted w ater which many toxic and harmful substances in it. Causing the spread of waterbor ne diseases and increasing the death rate of local residents. We can know that wate r is one-off product that the loss of water would not come back from the spreading of media. However, in this situation, people still ignore the worth of clean water. On the other hand, it is also another threats of these

animals live in clean water. Du e to the damage of their habitat, there was a dramatically decrease on the number of fish, which brought many different species of fish being endangered and caused the imbalance of ecology and vicious cycle of nature began.

To be concluded, human beings as the rulers of this plant have responsibility to pro tect it. We can’t be regret until the end of damaging hardly be fixed.

8.In some countries, people are no longer allowed to smoke in many public places and office buildings. Do you think this is a good rule or a bad rule? Why?

Not allowing smoking in public places and office building is a very good rule. I believe this for several reasons .Not only will banning smoking improve people’s health, it will also increase worker productivity and reduce conflicts.

we all know smoking is not healthy. Unfortunately, when smokers are able to smoke in public buildings, they can make other people sick . They may work with people who are allergic to smoking, for examples. In that case , the non-smokers have no choice unless they want to quit their jobs. They can only get sicker , which is unfair .Of course , banning smoking in public buildings and offices will please non-smokers. It will also improve the smokers’health. They will have fewer opportunities to smoke, so they will smoke fewer cigarettes.

Banning smoking in office buildings can also increase worker productivity. Smokers won’t interrupt their work all the time to smoke. There will also be fewer worker absences. When smokers cut down the number of cigarettes, they will get fewer smoking related illnesses.

9.People listen to music for different reasons and at different

times. Why is music important to many people?

Music seems to be a natural need for people. I’ve read that from ancient times human beings have produced sounds from “instrument”like rocks or skins stretched over a wooden frame. Music is something most people want and need. I think it’s important because it can be a major part of both community and individual experience.

Music is a way of sharing a common bond or feeling. When we’re children, we learn very simple songs called nursery rhymes. These songs help make us part of our culture by telling us what’s acceptable and what’s not. We play and sing music in our religious ceremonies because it enhances the worship experience. We play music when we’re going to war or celebrating the fact that we’re won a war.

We have national anthems to share our love and pride for our particular country. We have music we play for our school, and music we play for our athletic team. In fact, music has become a big part of athletic games. We use it to taunt the other team as well as celebrate when points are scored for our team.

10. Who is your best friend? Which kind of quality can you learn from him or her?
