新托福 iBT 口语黄金 80题
1. Describe a book that you believe is the most useful to you. Please explain the
reason and include specific examples and details in your explanation. (最崇
拜的一个人)
“A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Right! The Old Man and the Sea
by Hemingway is the most important book for me.
When I was in the abyss of despair for the career blow, I met this book in the
library and was immediately fascinated by it because this book gave me insights into
the concept of failure which means to get up again and never stop chasing one‛s
dream.
I had also learned what is hero—a hero is the one who dares to face the
frustration, who dares to challenge the difficult, who dares to overcome his own,
and who eventually conquers the defeat.
The book helps me to go regain my courage for future, and finally I went out
of the nightmares and then got a booming development in my career.
So, the Old man and Sea is definitely the most important book for me.
2. Which of the following statements do your agree with? Please give
specific reasons for your opinion. Some believe that TV programs have a
positive influence on modern society. Others, however, think that the influence
of TV programs is negative.
Personally speaking, television has more positive effects towards the modern
society than its negative sides. Firstly, the television has significantly made our
world smaller. Through news broadcasting in the television, we can be informed of
what is happening in all around the world even without stepping out our living room.
For example, my classmates and I watched Obama‛s inauguration thousands of miles
away from American. Without television, this would not able to come true. Secondly,
watching television with family members after supper is a good way to relax after
a day‛s hard work. And it is also a good way to enhance the affections between
family members. So, I think that television has more positive effects than its
negative sides.
3. Describe the most important decision that you made in your life.
(你最喜欢的地方、城市)
The most important decision that I have made in my life is to study in Nanjing.
You know, my hometown is very small and remote, but Nanjing is a cosmopolitan city.
It is in this city that I gained many opportunities to develop myself.
For one thing, being elected the president of Student Union, I was able to
cooperate with student leaders from the other colleges in the city.
For another, as the volunteer leader for the 4th Session of the World Urban
Forum held in Nanjing last year. I interviewed people from all over the world, such
as the officers from Asian Development Bank. And this enriched my experience.
All of these add to my love of this city. So the decision to study in Nanjing is
the most important I have ever made.

4. Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other
basic science?
Music and art should be important components of the school curriculum because
they have many uses besides recreation.
To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students come into
contact with other basic areas of the curriculum. Such as math, science, social
studies, languages, and physical education. Apart from that, music, like reading,
writing and speaking, conveys thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also provides an
avenue for developing self-expression and creativity.
On the other hand, art education in itself has tremendous value. Learning about
the history, sharing ideas and knowledge, is always a good thing.
Music and art, therefore, as important parts of our lives, should be taught in
high school.
5. 空闲时间用来做什么?()
I usually do three kinds of things to spend my spare time.
The first is reading. I love reading, especially in a silent environment such as
library. Through reading, I can travel through from prehistory to the future and
from North Pole to South Pole. It‛s so amazing!
The second is doing sports. Every morning, I jog 2 kilometers, and every
weekend, I swim 1 kilometer. This can keep me healthy and energetic.
And the last one is to do voluntary work in the Stray dogs rescue organization
in my city. We help to raise enough money to purchase food and medicine as well
as to pay rent for the house that we hired as a shelter for the poor dogs.
These are what I do when I am free, they are simple but meaningful.
6. Some people think that it’s necessary to prohibit people from using phone
calls in some places. Others believe that it’s inconvenient if phone calls are
forbidden in some places. Which opinion do you prefer? Explain you’re your
statement should include specific examples and details.
I strongly agree with the opinion that cell-phone usage should be banned in some
places like concert halls, movie theaters or in some situations like when you are
driving in cars or taking a subway, when you are in flight, in classes or meetings.
For one thing, it has become social etiquette. The cell phone user should know
when and where to pick up the cell phone and talk. Though people have personal right
to use their phone, the others are not supposed to be involved in the unnecessary
disturbance.
For another, cell phone usage can harm a person's health. Brain cancer rates
in the US have risen since cell phones were introduced, leading some people to
wonder if cell phone usage is the reason for the increase.
In recognition of those above, there should be some kind of regulations helping
with this problem. This way people will be well aware.

7. Describe a celebration or moment which has made a deep impression
on you. Please explain the impression and include specific examples and details
in you explanation.。(最喜欢的时光)
There is no doubt that the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games Opening Ceremony
is the most impressive moment in my life by far. As a lucky one, I have a ticket
of the grand meeting so that I can enjoy it on-site! How can I forget it! The
ceremony began officially on Friday 8th August 2008 at 8pm in front of a crowd
of 90,000 eager spectators in the Bird's Nest stadium. Things got off to a bang
with an initial firework display which lit up Beijing's skyline, followed by a total of
2,008 energetic drummers beating a countdown. Then the crowd was treated to an
amazing sequence of intricately-choreographed, beautifully-lit vignettes which
took us through 5,000 years of Chinese history and culture. After these
performances, Olympic founders Greece led the 204 competing nations into the
stadium. Finally, the cauldron was lit by a jet of fire from Chinese Olympic hero
Li Ning, who had been hoisted up to the roof of the stadium on wires. And then
the Olympic began! It‛s so amazing!
8. Which one acts more influence on you newspaper, TV or teachers?
I definitely think that it is TV that influences me most among the three.
Firstly, TV brings us the latest news from all over the world and all kinds of
knowledge in every realm. This helps to broaden our horizons. I could still remember
my first chemistry class is not in the school but on the television, which leaded to
a tiny accident in my kitchen. Ha-ha, luckily, nobody was hurt.
Secondly, TV Holds fashion trends. Whenever a star wears eye-catching attire in
a TV show, it wouldn‛t be long before this style become popular. It is same for a
singer. If the singer‛s MTV could be recommended by a program host, his/her album
will probably become a best seller. And I will buy one copy, too.
So, it is the TV that acts more influence on me.
9. Describe a social or politics celebration events in your culture.
(最喜欢的时光)
Speaking of social celebration in my culture, there is one day of the year that
is second to none, the Chinese New Year, which is also called the Spring Festival
by most Chinese People.
Even if you don‛t like most festive events, you still cannot resist the charm of
a family reunion dinner which marks the defining feature of the Spring Festival.
If you ever had the similar experience I came through in celebrating the day
with folks from four generations, I think you would agree with me that the festive
and auspicious feeling would haunt you from time to time, and part of that, of course,
comes from the longstanding tradition of our culture. Family members make toasts
for each other in order to wish for joy, peace, health and fortune for the next year.
What a wonderful festival!

10.政府是否应该资助建博物馆和剧院。说出你的观点和理由。
In my point of view, government should provide fund to build museums and
theaters because they serve as exhibition centers for people to know about the
history and culture of the country.
The range of museums is fantastic—there are museums of ancient history and
archaeology, of natural history and even museums for such things as transportation
and crime! And because the museums often hold new exhibitions, there is always
something different to see.
Theaters offer people a big place to enjoy a variety of operas and plays of
different regions. Meanwhile, the building of the museums and theaters will enhance
the cultural exchange between countries.
They are also one of the contributing factors that promote the national
economy.
That's why I think it's a good idea for government to help with the building of
museums and theaters.
11.说出你所居住的城市中你最喜欢的地方,给出原因。
Xuanwu Park is the place that I love most in my city. I usually go there when
I have the time and opportunity.
I can go for a stroll in the park to relax. The park has many trees, and lots
of winding paths, where I can wander listlessly and contemplate my own thoughts
or admire the various stages of nature.
Sometimes I just like to feel the breeze on my face and savor its coolness. It
gives me a sense of freedom. It also has a lake on which I can go boating.
I often go to the park with my friends on weekends. We usually play football
on the beach of the lake. And we'll have a picnic or a barbeque if we stay there
for the whole day.
It‛s such a good place that I love it most.
My favorite place in my city is the New Oriental Restaurant.
It is said and widely accepted that if you have not been to the New Oriental
Restaurant, you simply can‛t say you have been to our city.
The restaurant is the largest restaurant in our city and it provides all kinds of
food, from sea food to curry, and from sushi to barbeque. Though I am a picky
gourmet, the New Oriental can make me satisfy.
Besides, the New Oriental is accessible by several buses and subway lines and
it hence can be reached within half an hour from my home, even during rush hour.
The price of the New Oriental is very reasonable and the waiters there provide
well rounded service. I love the NO.

12.你和朋友在一起的时候喜欢去哪个地方?为什么?
My favorite place to have fun with my friends in my city is the New Oriental
Restaurant.
It is said and widely accepted that if you have not been to the New Oriental
Restaurant, you simply can‛t say you have been to our city.
The restaurant is the largest one in our city and it provides all kinds of food,
from sea food to curry, and from sushi to barbeque. Though my friends and I are
all picky gourmets, the New Oriental can make us satisfy.
Besides, it has a charming setting, with pictures on the walls, creating an
excellent place to both gathering and enjoying food.
The price of the New Oriental is very reasonable and the waiters there provide
well rounded service.
So, my friends and I prefer going to N O R when we get together.
13.你是喜欢自己在家里吃还是去外面餐馆吃?为什么?
Some people prefer eating out at a restaurant because they can eat a variety
of delicious food in restaurants. However, I think that preparing food and eating
home would be better for the reasons below.
First, home-cooked meals are always cheaper and cleaner. I don't have to pay
a lot for the food in a restaurant or worry about the sanitary standard.
Second, eating at home allows for a free choice of food because each person
has a private taste.
Third, eating at home is one of the best ways to enhance the relationship inside
the family. A table is a good place where family members could talk about their
happy day.
To conclude, I prefer eating at home to eating out for the reasons that it not
only cheaper and more comfortable, but also important to my family.
14.你通常喜欢去什么 park 或者 public area。
Xuanwu Park
15.喜欢到大城市读
书
关于书的成语关于读书的排比句社区图书漂流公约怎么写关于读书的小报汉书pdf
还是小城市读书。
I definitely prefer to study in a big city. Taking Nanjing for example, it is a
cosmopolitan city and my college is there.
Firstly, NJ has many universities, and as the president of Student Union of my
college, I can cooperate with student leaders from the other universities in the city.
Secondly, a big city indicates that it can offer more opportunities for the
students studying there. Last year Nanjing held the 4th Session of the World Urban
Forum. And as the leader of volunteers of my college, I had many deep
communications with people from all over the world, such as the officers from Asian
Development Bank. And this enriched my experience.
So that‛s why I think big city is more attractive for me to study in.

16.杂志,小说,诗歌,喜欢哪个
I prefer magazines to fictions or poems, especially monthly magazines. They
are good in some way and fill current trends and demands in different ways.
My definition of a good magazine is one that doesn't just stick to the same
writers and trends. The presentation, theme, and subjects should vary to grab the
interest of readers.
And a magazine should be a place where new writers can blossom. I would like
to see more magazine stories and features on the new generation of writers and
I hope to read more about new trends and new ideas.
I buy two magazines regularly--- Scientific American and Business, because
they are worth reading for their scientific news and new developments in the
business.
17.喜欢一个人住还是和室友住
Some students tend to live alone, while others may want to share their rooms
with their roommates. Which way of living do you think is better for students and
why?
I prefer to share a room with friends who I am acquainted with because of
security problem. Besides, living with friends can reduce the rent and ease my
economic burden.
Take myself as an example, as there are more and more burglary cases and
break-in house robbery reported on newspapers. I am worried about this
problem. One of my friends who live alone reported to me that her apartment was
broken in, and she lost some very valuable belongings. That's how I learn that no
security system or measures are 100% watertight.
Besides, renting an apartment isn't cheap. So I rent one with my friends, and
now I'm saving three hundred dollars each month.
To sum up, security and finance issues are the reasons why I prefer to
live with friends.
18.和朋友在一起,喜欢在 restaurant,café还是在家
I definitely prefer to eat out in a restaurant when I‛m together with my friends.
As both of my parents have retired from work, they stay at home all day long. So
it will not be convenient for we friends have a close chat including some secrets of
us at home. More importantly, eating out at restaurant or café means we do not
have to care about shopping, cooking, or cleaning up. And then we can enjoy our time
more relaxed.

19. Some believe that computer have improved our lives while others think
computers have caused a variety of problems. Which do you prefer? Please give
your opinion and include specific examples and details.
Well, I think computer does have more positive effects towards our lives than
its negative sides.
The computer makes a world-wide connection possible so that different people
can share information and communicate with each other. It is too hard to image a
life without computers.
In addition, computer has also pushed the development of science and
technology. Besides the fact that its amazing calculating ability has been applied
in the most high-tec fields, many softwares are developed to help research in other
disciplines.
Besides, it can provide people with entertainment, such as watching movies,
listening to music, and playing computer games.
So, that‛s why I think computer does have improved our lives.
20.老师的 characters
In my view, a good teacher should have different characteristics.
First, good teachers should be faithful and dedicated to the job. If teachers
are faithful to the job, then they will never cheat and will be impartial so that
students will respect them. If teachers are dedicated towards their work, then
they will teach with their hearts.
Another most important characteristic of a good teacher is patience.
Teachers should never lose their patience in class when students keep on asking
questions. A teacher should explain each aspect of the topic in the easiest way.
Most of all, good teachers should update their knowledge ‘cause further
learning can make a good teacher re-discover the beauty of the teaching
profession.
21. Some people prefer to work in the offices. Others would like to take the work
to home. Which do you prefer and explain why.
I rather prefer to work in an office.
Firstly, although working at home may be comfortable, it‛s difficult for me to
be fully-devoted to work. Maybe I‛ll want to watch TV, surf the internet or even
want to have a sleep during the work time. So it isn‛t efficient to work at home.
Moreover, it‛s more convenient to communicate with your co-workers or boss
when you work in an office, thus you can get the assignment more directly and solve
problems by negotiating with other employees, which helps you do better and learn
faster.
Last but not least, it is working with my workmates that makes I feel energetic
and more meaningful. Being with them makes me feel happy.
So I prefer the traditional way to work in an office than to take the work to
home.

22.说一个你敬佩的人的好性格(老师)
23.大学是应该向所有人开放还是只对一部分学生开放(free)
I‛m not so optimistic about university for all.
For one thing, it can cause tension on budget and resources. If higher education
is opened for all, it will definitely lead to a boost in enrollment, in turn more money,
more facilities and more faculties need be placed to cope with the increase, which
is very likely to result in great pressure in funding and resources.
In addition, university for all may go against the selective purpose of higher
education. More people going to college means less value of the degree. This will
not help to the student‛s future job hunting.
So, for these reasons, I don‛t support university for all.
24.Whether parents should lead their children to watch TV or the children
should choose
25.The most efficient transportation in your country。
be free of tra ① ffic problem and other factors faster than bus and automobiles ②
frequently and punctually ③
The most efficient transportation in our country is subway.
First of all, it can be free from traffic problems and many other factors that
may influence the normal operation of transportation, such as raining and snowing.
In addition, it runs much faster than bus or automobiles even in rush hours and
will never stop for a traffic jam. Just think about the bad experience when you are
trapped by traffic jam, you will probably take the sub way when you have to go out
in rush hours.
Besides, the subway trains come frequently and punctually, thus make it easier
for passengers to make schedule.
All these advantages make subway the most efficient transportation.
27.attend college 是否比不读 college 容易 successful in career ,why?
In my opinion, for general people, at
