历年英语专业四级考试口试试题-专四口语考试

一、英语专业四级考试口试简介及评分方法。根据大纲要求，口试内容将分解为三项：（1）复述故事（听两遍故事后复述3分种）；（2）即席讲话（根据所给的题目准备3分钟后，作即席讲话3分钟）；（3）对话（根据规定的角色各自准备3分钟后，对话4分钟）。评分项目为五项：复述、即席讲话、语音语调及语法。其中，前三项评分针对三项任务的完成情况，后两项是对考生在完成前三项任务中的语音语调及语法的总体评价。具体评分过程如下：（1）评分教师首先给三项任务依次打分，但每项任务的评分重点不同。复述部分强调故事的完整性与条理性；即席讲话强调内容切题、丰富、条理清楚，表达流畅；交谈部分强调讨论充分、遵循交际原则。（2）评分教师就考生在三项任务中的语音语调与语法进行总体的评价，打综合分。分数采用百分制，每五分为一档。（3）将五项分数相加，得到总分。根据大纲要求，口试内容将分解为三项：（1）复述故事（听两遍故事后复述3分种）；（2）即席讲话（根据所给的题目准备3分钟后，作即席讲话3分钟）；（3）对话（根据规定的角色各自准备3分钟后，对话4分钟）。2001：Task1:Retellingastory①Ionceknewanoldmanwhosebadmemorymadehimfamous.JohnSmithwassoforgetfulthathesometimesforgotwhathewastalkingaboutinthemiddleofasentence.Hiswifehadtoconstantlyremindhimabouthismeetings,hisclasses–evenhismeals!②Onceheforgothehadeatenbreakfasttwice,athomeandatschool.Hiswifelikedtoremindherneighbors,“IfJohndidn’thavehisheadtiedon.Hewouldforgetthattoo!”③SinceSmithwasaprofessoratawell-knownuniversity,hisforgetfulnesswasoftenanembarrassment.Itwasn’tthathewasnotclever,assomecriticalpeopletendedtosay,butjustvery,veryabsent-minded.④Onehotsummerday,ProfessorSmithdecidedtotakehischildrentoaseasidetownaboutathree-hourtrainrideaway.Tomakethetripmoreinterestingforhisyoungchildren,hekeptthenameofthetownasecret.⑤However,bythetimetheyarrivedatthestation,Smithforgotthenameofthetownhewasplanningtovisit.Luckily,afriendofhishappenedtobeinthestation.HeofferedtotakecareofthechildrenwhileSmithhurriedbackhometofindoutwherehewasgoing.⑥Theprofessor’swifewassurprisedtoseehimagainsosoon.“Oh,mydear,Iforgotthenamethetown.”“What?Youforgotthename?Maybeonedayyouwillforgetmyname!NowI’llwritethenameofthattownonapieceofpaper,andyouputitinyourpocketandplease,pleasedon’tforgetwhereyouputit.”⑦Satisfiedthatshehadsolvedtheproblem,shesentherhusbandoffagain.Tenminuteslatershewasastonishedtoseehimoutsidethehouseforthethirdtime.“Whatisthematternow?”“Asyoutoldme,Ididn’tforgetwhereIputthenameofthattown,butIforgotwhereIleftourchildren!”Task2:TalkingonagiventopicDirections:Describeateacherofyourswhomyoufindunusual.Task3:Role-playingDirections:ManyhighschoolgraduatesinChinaaregoingoverseasfortheircollegeeducation.Afriendofyoursisgraduatingthisyearandwouldliketoaskforyouradviceonwhetheritisagoodideaforahighschoolgraduatetogoabroadtostudy.StudentA:Youthinkthisfriendshouldgobyallmeans,andyoushouldtrytoconvinceyourpartner.Rememberyoushouldstarttheconversation.StudentB:YouthinkthisfriendshouldfinishcollegeinChinabeforethinkingaboutgoingabroad,andyoushouldtrytoconvinceyourpartner.Rememberyourpartnerwillstarttheconversation.2002:Task1:Retellingastory①WheneverMr.SmithgoestoWestgate,hestaysattheGrandHotel.Inspiteofitsname,itisreallynotvery“grand,”butitischeap,clean,andcomfortable.②Sinceheknowsthemangerwell,heneverhastogotothetroubleofreservingaroom.Thefactisthathealwaysgetsthesameroom.Itissituatedatthefarendofthebuildingandoverlooksabeautifulbay.③Onhislastvisit,Mr.Smithwastoldthathecouldhavehisusualroom,butthemanageraddedapologeticallythatitmightbealittlenoisy.Sogreatwasthedemandforrooms,themanagersaid,thatthehotelhaddecidedtobuildanewwing.Mr.Smithsaidhedidnotmind.ItamusedhimtothinkthatthedearoldGrandHotelwasmakinganefforttoliveuptoitsname.④DuringthefirstdayMr.Smithhardlynoticedthenoiseatall.Theroomwasalittledusty,butthatwasnatural.⑤Thefollowingafternoon,heborrowedabookfromthehotellibraryandwentupstairstoread.Nosoonerhadhesatdownthanheheardsomeonehammeringloudlyatthewall.⑥Atfirsthepaidnoattention,butafterawhilehebegantofeelveryuncomfortable.Hisclotheswereslowlybeingcoveredwithfinewhitepowder.⑦Soontherewassomuchdustintheroomthathebegantocough.Thehammeringwasnowlouderthaneverandbitsofplasterwerecomingawayfromthewalls.Itlookedasthoughthewholebuildingwasgoingtofall.⑧Mr.Smithwentimmediatelytocomplaintothemanager.Theybothreturnedtotheroom,buteverythingwasveryquiet.Astheystoodtherelookingateachother,Mr.Smithfeltratherembarrassedforhavingdraggedthemanagerallthewayupthestairsfornothing.⑨Allofasudden,thehammeringbeganagainandalargebricklandedonthefloor.Lookingup,theysawasharpmetaltoolhadforceditswaythroughthewall,makingaverylargeholerightabovethebed!Task2:TalkingonagiventopicDirection:Describeanembarrassingsituationinwhichyougotveryangry.Task3:Role-playingDirections:Thegeologydepartmentofamajoruniversityisplanningtoadmit30maleand5femalestudents.However,theresultsofthecollegeentranceexaminationshowthatbyaverage,ofalltheapplicants,femaleshavescoredhigherthanmostmales.Shouldthedepartmentsticktoitsoriginalplan?StudentA:Youthinkthedepartmentshouldstillsticktotheoriginalplan,andyoushouldtrytoconvinceyourpartner.Rememberyoushouldstarttheconversation.StudentB:Youdon’tthinkthedepartmentshouldsticktotheoriginalplan,andyoushouldtrytoconvinceyourpartner.Rememberyourpartnerwillstarttheconversation.2003:Task1:Retellingastory①JustasJanewasjoyfullyexpectingherfirstchild,heractive,energeticmotherbeganlosingherbattlewithabraindisease.Fortenyears,thefiercelyindependentandcourageousmotherhadfought,butnoneofthesurgeriesortreatmentshadbeensuccessful.Atonlyfifty-five,shebecametotallydisabled-unabletospeak,walk,eatordresson
