求一篇英语口语考试作文 ，急~~~，题目及要点如下，谢谢各位！
I think the most famous american symbols of usa are The Statue of Liberty(自由女神像),Barbie dolls(芭比娃娃), Mattel Toy Company,Buffalo Nickel(野牛镍币),Uncle Sam(山姆大叔).(记不住最后三个就 and so on). The Statue of Liberty is located in the Newyork City. The Statue of Liberty was a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States and is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. Of all the symbols,I like the Barbie dolls most. Barbie doll is very lovely and when I am a child,I played with it when I’m lonely. Even it can’t speak and act,it is one of my best friends.
Our motherland has long history,the symbols that stand for our culture are numerous. In my opion,the most standing three symbols are Chinese Dragon, Chinese Characters and Beijing Opera. They are all our precious treasures. I love them very much!
Friends and Friendship
What do you think of friendship and how do you get it?
Do you prefer making friends on the Internet or face to face?
It’s hard to find the best friendship in life,because best friends should has the special qualities. I value most in friendship are honest and comprehension.Honest is the root for friendship. Though it is easier to tell a lie, it is difficult to keep it. In another way,a friend indeed is a friends in need. He must be comprehensive so that he can know your sadness as well as happiness. Because of honest,we can be friends,and becaue of comprehension,we can be the best friends. So the honest and comprehension is the way I get my friendship.
I prefer making a friend face to face. Because internet must have some dangerous fact, it’s too easy to tell a lie on the net. Some advantages making friends face to face can’t be placed by the net. So I prefer making friend face to face.
On Success
What do you think success is ?
What would you do to be a successful man\woman?
In my own understanding, success is a feeling when you are satisfied with your living at present, is the happiness when you make your dream come true at last . I have a lot of dreams actually,some are small and some are quite huge. My dream is to feel happiness and let the world feel happiness. The first part has already come true. To be success means to make my dream come true.
I am going to keep going and don't let other things beat me and my dreams. Dreams is really difficult to be done ,everyone needs to try best to make them come true, but to me ,dreams can be done in the end .
City life and Country life
Where would you like to find a job after graduation, in a big city or in a small town?
What is the most serious challenge of living in big cities?
I prefer finding a job in a big city. in the cities, we have more opportunities.In cities there are many shops. There is no problem if I need to buy something. If it isn't in one shop I can go to another one. In the village there are usually only few shops and even the only one with the necessary foods. But cities aren't only centres of shopping but there are also many offices. Of course all the good schools are in cities. People in the cities can find a now job more easily than people in the country.
By contrast, Citizens have to put up with noise, harmful smoke and dirt. The air is not clean enough for people, especially in the downtown areas. The majority of citizens are tired of overcrowded conditions and bad environments.
Teacher-student RelationshipWhat do you think are the qualities of a good teacher?How to achieve a good Teacher-student relationship? (cooperation in class, mutual understanding and respect)The qualities of a good teacher I think ,first of all,she or he must be patient enough to adjust his or her students'mistakes ,bad habits or bad tempers. second,I think he or she must be kind and easy going,though strict is needed sometimes,but be too strict will frighten the students,and make them think you are not reliable and feasible.Just make yourself be their friend and they will trust you,and listen to you. finally I think that a good teacher should set good examples to his or her students so that he or she can get respect .and be the leader of the students As a student, it's good for us to cooperate with teacher,this is symbol of respecting teacher and ourselves.of course ,the respect is the mutual respect,and i want to say that the good behaviors of students will also give teacher some confidence ,encouragement ,and i think this is the largest satisfaction the teachers want to gain from students . Lottery Tickets
Suppose you won 0.3 billion yuan, what would you do with the money?
Do you think money is everything?
I would use the money to realize my dream. My dream is to feel happiness and let the world feel happiness. Winning the lottery has already made me happy, so I would try to do something meaningful,like help others who can’t afford school,help the people who are poor. I can make full use of it to make more money to do the more helpful and meaningfull things.
Though money is important in our life,is not the most important thing in our life.Money can buy a bed,but can't buy a good sleep. Money can buy a house,but can't buy a close home.Money can buy a lot of things,but can't buy health.Is that right? So money isn't everthing in our life.I think it just a kind of useful thing.In a peaceful world,the most important thing in our life is to help others,make our world more beautiful.Maybe one day,we all live in love with our goodness,joy and delight.Mqybe one day we all share in joy and celebrate in light!
This is the most important thing in one's life. It's a hope of all over the world.
Traveling
Describe a place that has deeply impressed you.
Where do you want to visit most?
This semester, I went to the Mountian Tai together with my classmates. Very exicited, we were eager to reach the destination on the course by bus. We began to climb directly we got to the foot of the mountian. It was very late in the evening , but none of us felt tired. There were many visiters there, and all of us enjoyed the process of climbing the mountain. Eventually, we reached the top. Not only did we have a rest there, but we took several pictures as well. Though very tired, we were very enjoyable about this unforgettable trip.
I would like to visit Paris. Because people say that Paris is a very romantic city. Paris people are also very romantic,I know this through the news. I want to breathe the romantic air in Paris city and also become a romantic person.
How to Prepare for Earthquakes?
1) Have you ever experienced an earthquake?
2) What would you do if an earthquake happened?
I haven’t experienced an earthquake. But I have a deeply impression of Sichuan's earthquake. Wenchuan,a small city,was destroyed by the earthquake.Many people were buried underground.Many houses were collapsed.The army came to help people ,saved some people who were buried underground.People said thanks to them.When the earthquake happened, I would run outside as soon as possible and stay in the open fields. If I can’t get out the house,I should choose a safe place to protect myself,saying the corner of the house. After the earthquake, I would try my best to help others and rebuild my homeland. About Death
Suppose you are suffering from a fatal illness and will die in no more than one year, what do you want to do most during this period?
At the moment when your life is coming to the end, who would you choose to stay with?
I can’t choose the time of my life,but I can choose the way of my living. At that time,I would know the essence of life. I would do the things I had looked forward to before,enjoyed every minute and second. For example I might travel around the world,at the same time I would donate all my things to the people who were in need,especially organs.
I really prefer staying with my parents during the last time. After high school,I rarely spent lot of time staying my mother and father. Especially after I entered into university,there is no more than a week that I am at home. I love my mother and father,they are my lovest people in the world. Now I quite miss them and appreciate the time we stay together.
On Sexual Equality
Do you think women are less intelligent, less capable than men? Why or why not ?
Is it possible for a woman to be successful in her career and take good care of her
In my opnion,we women are as intelligent as men,no less capable than men. Women are playing an increasingly important part in the society today. First, they do the same work as men and get the same pay. In almost all the working fields, where there are men, there are women. And they are taking more responsibilities for the work they do than before. Second, women are playing a more and more important part in politics. There are many female stateswomen, female diplomats in the modern world. Third, women now take part in almost all social activities.
It is possible for woman to be successful. In the modern society,konwledge plays more and more important role in success. So the ability to learn can lead one’s career. Women have no problem in learning,so it is possible for woman to be successful.

Most people think of racing when they see greyhounds (灰狗) and believe they need lots of exercise. They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive(好斗的) because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.
Greyhounds can live for 12 – 14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They don’t need a lot of space, don’t make a lot of noise, and don’t eat a lot for their size.
Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.
Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because they’re slim (苗条的) they don’t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold, especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.
56. The text is written mainly______.
A. to tell people how to raise greyhounds
B. to let people know more about greyhounds
C. to explain why greyhounds are aggressive
D. to describe greyhounds of different colors
57. It can be inferred that greyhounds_______.
A. love big doghouses
B. like staying in bed all day
C. make the best guard dogs
D. need some exercise outdoors
58. Why does the author say that greyhounds make great pets?
A. They are big in size.
B. They live a very long life.
C. They can run races for some time.
D. They are quiet and easy to look after.
59. If you keep a pet greyhound, it is important________.

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
"Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant(显著的) problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation(动机), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.
65. What is the text mainly about?
A. Foreign students have more problems.
B. There are many ways to improve English.
C. Teaching should meet students’ needs.
D. English learning problems should be studied again.
66. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign students________.
A. had to write their papers
B. became better at speaking
C. became less interested in reading
D. had fewer problems with listening
67. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A. different teaching methods should be used
B. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging
C. English courses are necessary for foreign students
D. teaching content should be changed halfway.
D
Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画) much influenced(影响) by Krenkel and St. John for five years.
For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However, watercolors remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucious once said, “At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”
69. What is the text mainly about?
A. Learning to paint in later life. B. How to paint watercolors
C. An artist-turned teacher D. Life after retirement
70. The author started drawing again in 1995 because_________.
A. he hoped to draw a picture of his father
B. he couldn’t stop missing his father
C. he had more time after retirement
D. he liked animals and landscapes
71. We can infer from the text that the author__________.
A. had been taught by Krenkel and St. John
B. painted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 years
C. believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolors
D. started his retirement life at the age of severty
72. How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?
A. Very enjoyable. B. A bit regretful C. Rather busy. D. Fairly dull.
