Thank you.(Hand over the mark sheets to the assessor)First of all we’d like to know something about you, Candidate A, so I’m going to ask you some questions.参考答案：【参考范例】（I=Interlocutor, A= Candidate A, B= Candidate B）I: Are you interested in traveling? Why?A: Yes, I’m.Both domestic and foreign travel can give me opportunities to broaden my prospective.I: Have you traveled a lot? Where did you like most among the places you had ever been to?A: Yes, I traveled a lot.Singapore was the place I like most.I: What was your first impression of Singapore?A: It’s indeed a good place! The trees are everywhere.The sky is very bright and the streets are very clean.It looks like a beautiful garden.I: How did you go there? In your opinion, which is the best way to travel? Why?A: By air, because air travel is my favorite.I think it is very fast, enjoyable and it seems the world is becoming a smaller place to live in.I: Thank you.Now, we’d like to know something about you, Candidate B, so I’m going to ask you some questions.I: Where would you like to travel most?A: Tibet, the mysterious place in snow area.I: What do you think of Tibet?B: Although I’ve never been there, I still think it’s a beautiful place.Untouched natural scenery, flocks of sheep and oxen, clear sky etc.All attract me very much.I: What will you prepare for your travel?B: I will take an atlas, some food and drink, some medicine, necessary tools and enough money.I: How are you going if you can travel to Tibet?B: I’m going there by air.It will save much time and I like flying.[问答题]2.Interlocutor: Now I’d like you to talk about something for 3 minutes.I’m just going to listen.I’d like you to discuss the ways of keeping in talk each other.[Place picture sheet (includingpictures of different ways: 1.writing 2.telephoning) in front of candidates]Talk to each other about it.It is not necessary to agree with each other.You have only 3 minutes for this.参考答案：A: I think the most common means of communication is the telephone.It is said that nowadays more than 80% of households in the city own at least one telephone, through which people can easily talk to each other.Another common way people exchange information is traditionally by letters, which is used most often by those two live in the countryside where phones are not available yet.With the popularity of computers, more and more people now start to send e-mails to each other, but not everyone can afford to buy a computer.B: As far as I know, communication by telephone will not take the place of postal communication.There are several reasons forthis.First of all, telephones are still not available in many rural or mountainous areas.The only ways for them to communicate with the outside world is by means of writing and receiving letters.Second, some people write letters in order to save money, especially when they want to avoid long distance calls.Candidate A: As far as my classmates are concerned, most students write letters to communicate.If you just take a look at the school post office, you can see lots of students standing in a long line for stamps.[问答题]3.Interlocutor: Now, I’d like each of you to talk on your own for about 2 minutes.I’m going to give each of you a different picture and I’d like you to talk about it.Candidate A, here is yourpicture (two bowls cashed violently).Please let Candidate B have a look at it.(Hand over the picture to Candidate A) Candidate B, I’ll give you your picture in a minute.Candidate A, I’d like you to describe the picture and tell us what you think about thepicture.Remember you have only 2 minutes for this.参考答案：A: The picture presents a very interesting scene, with a clear cracking sound, two howls clash “violently”.While the shining one on the left keeps its integrity, the shabby one on the right breaks into pieces.It follows that the intact bowl, as a symbol of goods of high quality, overwhelms the broken bowl representing the goods of low quality.Therefore, it’s not difficult to induce that quality provides the best guarantee for the survival and prosperity of a commodity.As everyone knows, quality is the lifeline of a product.Amid the fierce marketing competition, goods of high quality are bound to defeat fake and inferior products by their outstanding function, durability and friendly services.In this sense, the market is dominated by good-quality products.Besides, these products are easier to be accepted by the majority of customers who will probably cling to them most of the time.On the other hand, low-quality products will finally be pushed out of markets with shame and loss.Even though manufacturers may gain some profits occasionally and temporarily, inferior products are destined to tend up with failure.People may be cheated into buying poor-quality goods once; however, they will eventually obtain quality commodities and discard junk ones.Interlocutor: Thank you.(Retrieve picture.) Candidate B, is there anything else you would like to say about the picture?B: As a saying goes, “real gold can be tested by fire”, high-quality goods can win over poor-quality products in the market and thus establish their true brand and value in the marketing process. [问答题]4.Interlocutor: Candidate B, here is your card (a sorrowful pig).Please let Candidate A have a look at it.(Hand over the picture to Candidate B).I’d like you to describe the picture and tell us howyou feel about the phenomenon.Remember you have 2 minutes for this.参考答案：B: In the cartoon, a pig is filled with sorrow because he cannot understand the fact why the pigs’ skin is used to make E’jiao (a kind of aliment), which should be made from the oxen’s skin.From this cartoon, the artist intends to criticize the flood of fake products.At present, fake products are very common in our market.Take my experience as an example.Three weeks ago, I bought a pair of shoes with a so-called famous brand, which cost me 150 yuan.The shop owner guaranteed that his shoes would last for years, but now they are completely broken.Why are there so many fake products? Some dishonest manufactures want to make huge and easy profits from fake products, regardless of the bad effects on the consumers.Secondly, there are no strict laws against fake products, and the manufacturers cannot be punished effectively.Fake products have become a serious issue.It does not only spoil the benefits of the consumers, but also does great harm to our market economy.Interlocutor: Thank you.(Retrieve picture.) Candidate A, is there anything else you would like to say about the picture?A: In my opinion, we should put the whole process of production under good supervision.In addition, strict laws must be made to prevent fake products and to punish those who manufacture them.Interlocutor: Thank you.That is the end of the test.。
