【正确答案】Candidate A:
In the picture, we can see a boy is chatting online. There are many books and periodicals surrounding another person who is sitting before a computer. It's obvious that he's searching for some information. Now, everybody has realized the importance of high-tech and wants to make full use of it. You can talk online to an expert in a certain field. You can learn the Latest information of an issue if you use the Internet to study. It's certainly a convenient way. You needn't go to the library and search for the information you need among a mountain of books.
Interlocutor:
Thank you. Now, Candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question?
(Half a minute for asking and answering the question.)
Candidate B:
According to you, how does the Internet change our life?
Candidate A:
The Interact is changing our life because we can contact the rest of the world without leaving our houses. We can also work at home instead of going to office. We can also make purchases at home and we can get the latest news instead of buying newspaper. Also, we can now contact each other easily and this lends to make communication more frequent. I believe the Internet will be more and more important in people's life.
Candidate B:
In the picture, we can see people are setting off firecrackers in Spring Festival. Children are jumping up and down, hands covering their ears. "We finally find the long lost feeling of Spring Festival." says a man. Yes, when we were a child, we were thrilled by the thundering crack of the firecrackers. But occasionally, it can also bring disasters to some families—stone children lost their eyes, some adults lost their houses. Owing to the great loss, the government decided to ban it in downtown areas. Loss decreases, but gone with the firecrackers is the merry atmosphere of the New Year. I think this loss is even greater than the total amount of materials lost in the fire. Luckily, the department concerned realized this timely. Thus bit by bit, we find our memories again.
Interlocutor:
Thank you. Now, Candidate A, could you please ask your partner a question?
(Half a minute for asking and answering the question.)
Candidate A:
But how could we cut down the loss caused by the firecrackers?
Candidate B:
Cars can kill people, but we never ban it. Firecracker is not the root of the crime. In my opinion, we should teach people how to fire them safely. Children must be accompanied by their parents. All in all, when people know the danger, they will be cautious when firing them. Loss can be avoided.
Interlocutor:
Thank you. That is the end of the test.
