第二部分是考試的重點(diǎn)部分，主要考核考生用英語進(jìn)行連貫的口頭表達(dá)的能力，以及傳達(dá)信息、發(fā)表意見、參與討論和進(jìn)行辯論等口頭交際能力。主考先向每位考生提供文字或圖片等形式的提示信息，讓考生準(zhǔn)備1分鐘，然后要求每位考生就所給信息作1分半鐘時(shí)間的發(fā)言，此后，主考要求考生根據(jù)發(fā)言的內(nèi)容，就規(guī)定的話題進(jìn)行小組討論，盡量取得一致意見。時(shí)間共約10分鐘。

第三部分由主考再次提問以進(jìn)一步確定考生的口頭交際能力。時(shí)間約5分鐘。

二、備考指導(dǎo)

1、準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)有特色的自我介紹，給老師留下好印象。

考試一開始就是個(gè)自我介紹，最好有特色一點(diǎn)，因?yàn)檫@關(guān)系到給老師的第一印象，你在第一時(shí)間內(nèi)所展現(xiàn)出來的個(gè)性特征很可能在主考老師的心里持續(xù)到最后一分鐘。如果不能給老師留下好印象，即使你在之后的環(huán)節(jié)做的非常優(yōu)秀，把你們同組的三個(gè)人在老師心中的印象重新排序仍是有些困難的。所有一個(gè)有特色的自我介紹十分重要。

2、對(duì)當(dāng)前的熱門或和學(xué)習(xí)相關(guān)的話題要有所準(zhǔn)備和熟悉。比如奧運(yùn)會(huì)，世博，低碳，環(huán)保等。

3、與老師交流一定要專心。

和老師的交流一般比較簡單，但要專心，因?yàn)槔蠋煹奶釂栆话闶轻槍?duì)你的陳述引出來的問題，所以不要因?yàn)榫o張而亂了方寸。

4、加強(qiáng)口語交流練習(xí)，表述內(nèi)容要有條理。

平時(shí)練習(xí)時(shí)，最好是多看和多練一下歷年的口語考試題目，可以找周圍朋友或是社交活動(dòng)的時(shí)候跟搭檔練習(xí)一下找找感覺。每周都參與的話相信你的口語考試定能順利通關(guān)。

大學(xué)英語四六級(jí)聽力裸考高招

BY:黃小鴨

1.一周抽三天時(shí)間 去圖書館潛心學(xué)習(xí)，不管什么人找你，先把每天去圖書館的任務(wù)先完

成才可以離開。

2.一周完成2套聽力部分真題（至少兩套，不求量多，真題啃透）

3.一周完成一套完整的真題。（十年真題，2014年改革后取消的題目可以不做。認(rèn)真完成改革后的試題。2013年12月共3套題。3套都要拿來認(rèn)真做。）

4.做聽力題要認(rèn)真對(duì)待，就像在考場(chǎng)考試一樣對(duì)待，做完之后拿紅筆改答案、5.做聽力題前盡快掃視一遍試題問題，畫出問題的關(guān)鍵詞：what why when where which，人名等，這樣會(huì)比較有利于聽錄音的時(shí)候抓住問題答案

6.改完之后，把自己分心走神的段落&對(duì)話再聽一次。（因?yàn)槲乙矔?huì)有堅(jiān)持不住走神的狀況

出現(xiàn)。。）

7.如果發(fā)現(xiàn)第二次聽錄音還是找不到答案，再把錄音倒回去，對(duì)應(yīng)著答案提供的原文，邊

看邊聽。

8.每一套真題的聽力部分都準(zhǔn)備2份。第一份錯(cuò)很多，如-20/35都沒關(guān)系。認(rèn)真按照上

述方法，改正錯(cuò)誤之后，在試卷上醒目的位置寫好錯(cuò)題檢討或者鼓勵(lì)的話。如：粗心！分心！走神！加油！不可以走神！之類的話。反正自己看，怕啥。勇于指出自己錯(cuò)誤直視錯(cuò)誤才有改正的決心、當(dāng)自己完成了10年的聽力真題之后，拿出第二份的聽力真題，開始聽力部分的第二步滾動(dòng)復(fù)習(xí)。第二份聽力題相信在第一份題錯(cuò)誤以及改正的基礎(chǔ)上大致都會(huì)記得錄音內(nèi)容，沒關(guān)系，以同樣的態(tài)度再把同一份真題做一次，相信錯(cuò)題率一定會(huì)大幅降低。

PS：這個(gè)方法適合考前1-2個(gè)月沖刺，不適合長期的復(fù)習(xí)，長期復(fù)習(xí)建議多去權(quán)威的聽力網(wǎng)站上聽新聞做練習(xí)。如普特聽力網(wǎng)。

以上方法僅供參考。祝愿各位裸考成功！

第四篇：大學(xué)英語四六級(jí)口語考試經(jīng)驗(yàn)

考試時(shí)一組是3位考生，考試時(shí)先會(huì)分組，然后會(huì)有一段時(shí)間讓你們交流一下，在侯考室。你們可以隨便聊聊，英語中文都可以，可以相互熟悉，消除緊張感，不過大多數(shù)都是在用漢語聊天。如果你分的批次比較靠后（這個(gè)是當(dāng)時(shí)隨機(jī)分的），就會(huì)有多一些的時(shí)間交流。我是第四批，差不多有一個(gè)多小時(shí)。然后進(jìn)考場(chǎng)，里面有兩位考官，一個(gè)錄像的學(xué)生。兩位考官，一名是向你提問的，一名是專心聽你發(fā)音的，不說話。第一部分是先報(bào)自己的名字和準(zhǔn)考證號(hào)，然后讓你們輪流介紹你自己，3位考生分1、2、3號(hào)（我是1號(hào)，每次都最先說，沒準(zhǔn)備時(shí)間啊~），一般是從一號(hào)先開始。自我介紹很簡短，說說自己的名字，家鄉(xiāng)、專業(yè)，興趣、愛好，不注意能提所在學(xué)校。這一部分可以自己提前準(zhǔn)備一下。然后每場(chǎng)考試有一個(gè)話題，我們那場(chǎng)是有關(guān)大學(xué)和教育，考官會(huì)向你們每個(gè)人提一個(gè)問題，從1號(hào)開始，當(dāng)時(shí)問我的是“你覺得你的大學(xué)生活怎么樣”，大約說個(gè)一分半鐘左右吧。然后會(huì)依次問。進(jìn)入第二部分，每人發(fā)一張紙片，上面有關(guān)于本次話題的觀點(diǎn)，我的是：大學(xué)教育能“增長知識(shí)”；我旁邊的是：大學(xué)教育能“培養(yǎng)能力”；那邊的我沒看到。然后每個(gè)人有一分半時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備，然后開始就這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)闡述你的見解，大約說個(gè)2分鐘吧，依次輪流。等三個(gè)人都說了后，考官會(huì)提出一個(gè)主觀點(diǎn)讓你們?nèi)齻€(gè)人討論一下。我們的是：你認(rèn)為取得學(xué)位和學(xué)習(xí)能力有什么關(guān)系？然后你們?nèi)齻€(gè)人就談?wù)勥@個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，達(dá)成一個(gè)結(jié)論，就像談話一樣，每個(gè)人都說說。這一部分結(jié)束后，進(jìn)入最后一部分?？脊僭賹?duì)每個(gè)人提最后一個(gè)問題，我的是：如果有機(jī)會(huì)你愿意出國學(xué)習(xí)嗎？然后你要對(duì)這問題展開說說你的觀點(diǎn)。三個(gè)人都問過之后，就結(jié)束了。整個(gè)過程就20分鐘左右，進(jìn)去之前要把手機(jī)關(guān)機(jī)上交，出來時(shí)再領(lǐng)。

其實(shí)整個(gè)考試并不用緊張，之前你們?nèi)齻€(gè)人已經(jīng)交流了一會(huì)，都不會(huì)拘束了，考試時(shí)也就比較隨意，考官吧，也很隨和的。上場(chǎng)后自然的說話就行了，語速不要太快，發(fā)音清楚一點(diǎn)，這個(gè)我沒做好，不要太快，流利就好。討論時(shí)要注意給其他人機(jī)會(huì)，也不要自己一直說?；卮饡r(shí)也不要一直自己低頭說，要和老師有眼神交流，其他同學(xué)回答時(shí)也要注意聽，不管聽進(jìn)去沒有，至少要表現(xiàn)出在專心聆聽的樣子，不過最好還是聽懂為好。

關(guān)于準(zhǔn)備，好像有一本書叫大學(xué)生四六級(jí)口語考前輔導(dǎo)，外研社出版社的，可以看看。上面有一些應(yīng)試技巧和許多話題。我覺得最重要的還是，自己看著話題說出來，平時(shí)自己練也行，找個(gè)同學(xué)一起對(duì)話也行，我當(dāng)時(shí)是每天中午在教學(xué)樓自己說一會(huì)，開始會(huì)說得比較艱難，不連貫，練一會(huì)就好了，平時(shí)也可以把身邊的事、說的話在心里都用英語想一遍，比較容易形成英語思維。單詞也是要多積累一點(diǎn)，不然有的意思你想表達(dá)卻說不出來。除此之外就是要多讀一讀文章，讀出來，練語音，早上比較好，中午也行，讀一讀，形成語感。再者就是看看英語電影吧，帶中英字幕的，學(xué)習(xí)日常表達(dá)方法，我覺得挺好。

每天說一說、讀一讀，兩個(gè)月差不多就可以了，我是10月開始的，關(guān)鍵還是在平時(shí)吧，每天一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，考試時(shí)就很隨意了~加油加油！

In the next few decades people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today.Everyone is going to drive electrically powered cars.So in a few years people won‘t worry about running out of gas.Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology.F & C Motors，a major auto company，for example，is holding a press conference next week.At the press conference the company will present its new，electronically operated models.Transportation in the future won’t be limited to the ground.Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky.In the coming years，instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic，news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky.But the sky isn‘t the limit.In the future，you’ll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon，Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements，you’ll hear someone say，“The spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes.Please check your equipment.And remember，no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed.”

The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony.Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together.The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring？ That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry.The diamond represented beauty.He placed it on the third finger of her left hand.He chose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel in that finger went directly to the heart.Today，we know that this is not true.Yet the tradition continues.Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year if they are planning a wedding ceremony and party.During the time，friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as a wife.These could include cooking equipment or new clothing.Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him.This usually takes place the night before the wedding.Only men are invited to the bachelor party.During the marriage ceremony，the bride and her would-be husband usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever.The wife often wears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger.The husband wears hi ring on the third finger of his left hand.Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding.But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure they want to marry each other.Either person may decide to break the engagement.If this happens，the woman usually returns the ring to the man;they also return any wedding gifts they have received.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29.What was the diamond ring said to represent？

Section C

Directions： In this section，you will hear a passage three.when the passage is read for the first time，you should listen carefully for its general idea.When the passage is read for the second time，you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard.For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information.For these blanks，you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words.Finally，when the passage is read for the third time，you should check what you have written.Russia is the largest economic power that is not a member of the World Trade Organization.But that may change.Last Friday，the European Union said it would support Russia‘s（36）effort to become a W.T.O.member.Representatives of the European Union met with Russian（37）officials in Moscow.They signed a trade agreement that took six years to（38）negotiate.Russia called the trade agreement（39）balanced.It agreed to slowly increase fuel prices within the country.It also agreed to permit（40）competition.in its communications industry and to remove some barriers to trade.In（41）exchange for European support to join the W.T.O，Russian President Putin said that Russia would speed up the（42）process to approve the Kyoto Protocol，an international（43）environmental agreement to reduce the production of harmful industrial gases.（44）These “greenhouse gases” trap heat in the atmosphere and are blamed for changing the world’s climate.Russia had signed the Kyoto Protocol，but has not yet approved it.The agreement takes effect when it has been approved by nations that produce at least 55 percent of the world‘s greenhouse gases.（45）But currently，nations producing only 44 percent have approved the Protocol.Russia produces about 17 percent of the world’s green-house gases.。The United States，the world‘s biggest producer，withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol after President Bush took office in 2001.So，Russia’s approval is required to put the Kyoto Protocol into effect.（46）To join the W.T.O.，a country must reach trade agreements with major trading countries that are also W.T.O.members.Russia must still reach agreements
