Question 1Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

In the VCE Chinese Second Language Advanced oral examination, the detailed study presentation is followed by a discussion. What is the main purpose of that discussion section?

  1. To give the student a chance to correct any factual errors made during the presentation
  2. To compare the student's presentation with other students' presentations
  3. To let the assessors probe the student's understanding of the detailed study and test the ability to respond spontaneously Correct answer.
  4. To allow the student to read prepared notes aloud on the chosen topic

Explanation

The discussion follows the presentation and is designed to explore how well the student understands the detailed study, rewarding spontaneous, thoughtful responses rather than prepared recitation. Assessors ask questions that extend and probe the ideas raised, so the student must demonstrate depth and flexibility of understanding.

Question 2Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

Which of the following best describes the required structure of the detailed study presentation itself?

  1. A free conversation with the assessors about any topic the student prefers
  2. A clearly organised talk with an introduction, developed ideas and a conclusion Correct answer.
  3. A list of statistics read in sequence with no linking commentary
  4. A summary of a Chinese film's plot with no personal evaluation

Explanation

The presentation is expected to be a structured talk that introduces the topic, develops the main points logically and closes with a conclusion. Organisation and coherence are assessed, so a clear framework matters as much as the content itself.

Question 3Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

A student is choosing a detailed study topic. Which choice is most suitable for the VCE Chinese Second Language Advanced oral?

  1. A topic copied word for word from a published study guide
  2. A narrowly defined topic drawn from the Chinese-speaking world that allows analysis and personal interpretation Correct answer.
  3. A topic so broad that it could fill several textbooks
  4. A topic the student knows nothing about but thinks sounds impressive

Explanation

A good detailed study topic is focused, connected to the Chinese-speaking world, and rich enough to support analysis and a personal viewpoint. Narrow scope allows depth, which is what the assessment rewards, whereas an over-broad topic produces only superficial coverage.

Question 4Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

During the presentation, a student wants to indicate that one point follows logically from another. Which expression is most appropriate?

  1. 比如说吧
  2. 顺便说一下
  3. 无论如何
  4. 因此 Correct answer.

Explanation

因此 means 'therefore' and explicitly signals a logical consequence, which is exactly the relationship the student wants to express. The other expressions introduce an aside, a dismissal or an example, so they do not mark a causal or logical link between points.

Question 5Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

What is the recommended balance between the presentation and the discussion in terms of the student's preparation?

  1. The student should memorise the presentation and ignore the discussion entirely
  2. The student should prepare only the discussion because the presentation is unassessed
  3. The student should prepare the presentation thoroughly and also anticipate likely follow-up questions Correct answer.
  4. The student should prepare neither and rely on improvisation

Explanation

Both parts are assessed, so thorough preparation of the presentation must be matched by anticipating the kinds of questions assessors may ask. Thinking ahead about possible follow-ups allows the student to respond with confidence and depth during the discussion.

Question 6Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

Which of these is an appropriate way for a student to refer to a source during the presentation?

  1. 我听说好像，……
  2. 根据一项调查显示，…… Correct answer.
  3. 大家都这么说，……
  4. 反正是真的，……

Explanation

根据一项调查显示 means 'according to a survey', which cites evidence in a formal and credible way suited to a presentation. The other options rely on hearsay or assertion without evidence, which weakens the academic register expected.

Question 7Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

A student's presentation topic is 'the impact of social media on young Chinese people'. Which opening sentence best establishes the topic and scope?

  1. 我选择这个题目是因为老师让我选的。
  2. 今天我想探讨社交媒体对中国年轻人的影响，重点分析它对人际关系的作用。 Correct answer.
  3. 社交媒体这个东西嘛，我也说不清楚。
  4. 大家好，我今天要讲很多东西，具体是什么一会儿再说。

Explanation

A strong opening names the topic and narrows the scope, here focusing on effects on interpersonal relationships. This tells the audience what to expect and signals a controlled, analytical approach, whereas vague or apologetic openings fail to establish purpose.

Question 8Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

During the discussion, an assessor asks a question the student cannot answer fully. What is the most appropriate response strategy?

  1. Change the subject to a part of the study the student has memorised
  2. Invent statistics to sound confident and knowledgeable
  3. Acknowledge the limits of the study honestly and offer a reasoned tentative view Correct answer.
  4. Remain silent until the assessor moves to another question

Explanation

Acknowledging uncertainty while still offering a reasoned, tentative response demonstrates honesty and ongoing analytical thinking, both valued in the discussion. Fabricating data or refusing to engage damages credibility and forfeits the chance to show reasoning.

Question 9Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

Which sentence uses the most formal register appropriate for a detailed study presentation?

  1. 本研究旨在分析中国城镇化进程中的社会问题。 Correct answer.
  2. 反正我就是这么想的，你爱信不信。
  3. 我觉着这个事儿吧，挺有意思的。
  4. 咱就随便聊聊这个话题。

Explanation

本研究旨在分析 uses formal written-style vocabulary ('this study aims to analyse') that suits an academic presentation. The other sentences use colloquial particles, slang or dismissive phrasing that clash with the required formal register.

Question 10Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

A student presents on 'traditional festivals in China' but spends most of the time describing personal holiday memories. What is the main weakness of this presentation?

  1. It uses too many formal discourse markers
  2. It lacks analysis of the topic and drifts into anecdote rather than developed argument Correct answer.
  3. It cites too many academic sources
  4. It is too short to meet the time limit

Explanation

The detailed study requires analysis and interpretation, but personal anecdotes replace examination of the topic's significance. Anecdotes can illustrate a point, yet they cannot substitute for developed argument and evaluation, which is what the assessment rewards.

Question 11Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

In the discussion, which response best demonstrates the ability to extend an idea raised in the presentation?

  1. 这个问题我没有准备。
  2. 对，您说得对，就是这样。
  3. 我们还是回到我刚才讲的内容吧。
  4. 您提到的这一点，我在研究中也发现了类似的现象，不过我认为还有另一个原因…… Correct answer.

Explanation

This response acknowledges the assessor's point, connects it to the student's own findings and then extends the analysis with a further cause. That combination of listening, linking and developing ideas is precisely what the discussion rewards.

Question 12Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

Which of the following best explains why a student should avoid reading a full script during the presentation?

  1. Reading aloud reduces eye contact and natural delivery, which are assessed Correct answer.
  2. Reading aloud is forbidden by the examination rules
  3. Reading aloud guarantees grammatical accuracy, which is penalised
  4. Reading aloud makes the presentation too analytical

Explanation

Delivery is assessed, and reading a script tends to reduce eye contact, natural intonation and engagement with the audience. A student who speaks from notes rather than a script can communicate more convincingly and respond naturally if something goes wrong.

Question 13Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

A student wants to present contrasting views on a topic. Which pair of expressions best signals contrast?

  1. 因为……所以……
  2. 首先……然后……
  3. 一方面……另一方面…… Correct answer.
  4. 例如……比如……

Explanation

一方面……另一方面…… presents two sides of an issue, making it ideal for signalling contrast or balance. The other pairs signal sequence, causation or exemplification, so they do not express the contrast the student needs.

Question 14Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

Which statement best reflects the role of the student's personal opinion in the detailed study presentation?

  1. Personal opinion is only allowed in the discussion, never in the presentation
  2. Personal opinion should be avoided entirely because only facts are assessed
  3. Personal opinion should replace all factual content
  4. A supported personal viewpoint strengthens the presentation when it is justified with reasons and evidence Correct answer.

Explanation

The detailed study values a personal perspective, but it must be supported by reasoning and evidence rather than asserted. A justified viewpoint shows analysis and engagement, while unsupported opinion or its complete absence weakens the response.

Question 15Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

A student is preparing for the discussion and wants to predict assessor questions. Which preparation approach is most effective?

  1. Generate possible questions about each main point and practise answering them aloud Correct answer.
  2. Memorise one perfect answer and reuse it for every question
  3. Prepare answers only for questions about the introduction
  4. Avoid thinking about questions so answers sound spontaneous

Explanation

Anticipating questions for every main point and rehearsing spoken answers builds the flexibility needed to respond to unpredictable prompts. A single memorised answer cannot fit varied questions, and refusing to prepare leaves responses weak and hesitant.

Question 16Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

Which sentence best concludes a presentation while inviting further discussion?

  1. 下次有机会再讲吧。
  2. 以上是我对这个问题的分析，我很愿意就其中的细节与大家进一步交流。 Correct answer.
  3. 我说完了，没什么好说的了。
  4. 这个话题太复杂，我也讲不清楚。

Explanation

A strong conclusion summarises what has been covered and signals openness to further discussion, which transitions naturally into the discussion section. Dismissive or apologetic closings undermine the impression of a complete, well-considered study.

Question 17Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

An assessor asks: '你说这个政策带来了积极影响，那么消极的一面呢？' What is the assessor most likely testing?

  1. Whether the student can repeat the presentation word for word
  2. Whether the student can switch to speaking English
  3. Whether the student knows the exact date the policy was introduced
  4. Whether the student can consider multiple perspectives and balance an argument Correct answer.

Explanation

The question invites the student to consider the opposite side of an argument, which tests balanced, critical thinking. Recognising and weighing counter-perspectives is a higher-order skill that the discussion is designed to elicit.

Question 18Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

A student claims in the presentation that '所有中国年轻人都沉迷于手机'. How should this claim be evaluated?

  1. It is a precise statistical finding suitable for a presentation
  2. It is an appropriate use of hedging language
  3. It is a balanced statement of contrasting views
  4. It is an overgeneralisation that needs qualification and supporting evidence Correct answer.

Explanation

The word 所有 ('all') makes an absolute claim that cannot be supported by evidence and ignores variation among young people. A stronger presentation would qualify the claim and support it with data, since overgeneralisation weakens analytical credibility.

Question 19Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

During the discussion, a student disagrees with an assessor's suggested interpretation. Which response is most appropriate?

  1. 好吧，那就按您说的算。
  2. 我理解您的看法，不过从另一个角度来看，也可以这样解释…… Correct answer.
  3. 我不同意，但我说不出理由。
  4. 您说得不对，我的观点才是正确的。

Explanation

Disagreeing politely involves acknowledging the other view before presenting an alternative interpretation with reasons. This shows respect, confidence and analytical skill, whereas blunt contradiction, unsupported disagreement or immediate capitulation all weaken the response.

Question 20Oral examination: Presentation (detailed study)

Which feature most clearly distinguishes a high-scoring detailed study presentation from an average one?

  1. Sustained analysis that links evidence to a clear personal interpretation throughout Correct answer.
  2. A wider range of vocabulary used without regard to accuracy
  3. A faster speaking speed that covers more content
  4. A longer presentation that lists more facts than others

Explanation

High-scoring presentations sustain analysis, connecting evidence to a coherent personal interpretation rather than merely listing information. Length, speed or vocabulary breadth alone do not demonstrate the depth of understanding and evaluation that the criteria reward.

Question 21Oral examination: Discussion

在口语考试的讨论部分，考生被要求围绕一个主题与考官交流。以下哪一项最符合讨论部分的主要目的？

  1. 背诵事先准备好的整段演讲稿
  2. 只回答考官提出的封闭式问题
  3. 用英文解释自己不会说的中文词语
  4. 展示考生对主题的了解并用中文进行有深度的交流 Correct answer.

Explanation

讨论部分考查的是考生能否用中文就某一主题表达观点、说明理由并回应考官的追问，属于双向交流。背诵整段稿子无法体现临场交流能力，而讨论也不限于封闭式问答。考生应展示对主题的理解和语言运用能力。

Question 22Oral examination: Discussion

在讨论中，考官提出一个考生没有准备过的问题时，最恰当的做法是什么？

  1. 先稍作思考，再有条理地表达自己的看法 Correct answer.
  2. 转向谈论自己准备过的另一个话题
  3. 把问题重复一遍然后沉默等待提示
  4. 立即说“我不知道”并结束这个话题

Explanation

讨论考查的是真实交流能力，遇到陌生问题时可以短暂思考，然后组织语言表达观点。直接放弃或沉默会失去展示语言能力的机会。主动转移话题也显得回避，不能体现应对能力。

Question 23Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中表达观点后，考官追问“为什么这样认为”。考官这样做的目的是什么？

  1. 考查考生能否为观点提供理由和例证 Correct answer.
  2. 检查考生是否背下了标准答案
  3. 缩短讨论时间以便提前结束考试
  4. 暗示考生刚才的观点是错误的

Explanation

追问理由是讨论部分的常见环节，目的是让考生展开论证，说明观点背后的原因并举出例子。这并不表示考官否定考生观点，也不是在检查背诵。考生应把它看作深入表达的机会。

Question 24Oral examination: Discussion

下列关于口语讨论部分中“展开”的说法，哪一项最准确？

  1. 尽量使用生僻成语以显示词汇量
  2. 用一个观点加上理由或例子来充实回答 Correct answer.
  3. 只说关键词，让考官自己理解意思
  4. 把同一个观点用不同词语重复三遍

Explanation

展开指的是把观点说清楚，通常需要补充理由、例子或个人经历，使回答有内容。重复同一观点或用生僻词堆砌都不能增加实质内容。只说关键词会让考官难以判断考生的表达能力。

Question 25Oral examination: Discussion

讨论中考生想表示自己有不同看法，同时保持礼貌。以下哪种表达最合适？

  1. 这个想法很奇怪，我不同意。
  2. 随便吧，怎样都行。
  3. 我理解您的看法，不过我个人觉得…… Correct answer.
  4. 您说得完全不对，应该是……

Explanation

讨论中表达不同意见时应先表示理解对方，再提出自己的看法，这样既礼貌又能清楚表达立场。直接否定对方或使用贬义词语显得不尊重。含糊敷衍则无法体现观点。

Question 26Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中举例说明自己的观点时，最需要注意什么？

  1. 例子必须来自新闻报道
  2. 例子要与观点直接相关并能说明问题 Correct answer.
  3. 例子越长越好，细节越多越好
  4. 例子中要尽量多用成语

Explanation

举例的目的是支持观点，因此例子必须与论点相关，能清楚说明问题。例子长短、来源并不决定质量，堆砌成语也不能代替逻辑关联。相关性才是举例的核心要求。

Question 27Oral examination: Discussion

讨论部分开始时，考官通常会怎样引入话题？

  1. 直接宣布考生的分数
  2. 要求考生朗读一段课文
  3. 让考生用英文自我介绍
  4. 提出一个与主题有关的开放性问题 Correct answer.

Explanation

讨论通常以开放性问题引入，让考生有机会陈述观点并展开交流。宣布分数、朗读课文或用英文介绍都不属于讨论环节的常规做法。开放性问题便于考官了解考生的立场并继续追问。

Question 28Oral examination: Discussion

在讨论中谈到中国文化话题时，以下哪种做法最恰当？

  1. 断言所有中国人都持同一种观点
  2. 只重复课本上的定义而不加解释
  3. 结合具体事例说明自己的理解和看法 Correct answer.
  4. 避免谈论文化，改谈天气

Explanation

文化类话题需要考生表达自己的理解，用具体事例支撑观点会使讨论更有说服力。把某个群体一概而论容易失之片面。只背定义或回避话题都不能展示深入的交流能力。

Question 29Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中一时想不起某个中文词，最有效的应对策略是什么？

  1. 放弃这句话，换一个简单话题
  2. 反复重复上一句话拖延时间
  3. 用中文解释这个词的意思，继续表达 Correct answer.
  4. 停下来用英文说出这个词

Explanation

想不起某个词时，用中文描述其含义是一种有效的交际策略，可以保持表达连贯。改用英文不符合考试语言要求。放弃或重复拖延都会影响交流质量。

Question 30Oral examination: Discussion

以下哪一句最适合用来在讨论中引入自己的第二个论点？

  1. 除了刚才提到的这一点，我还想补充…… Correct answer.
  2. 这个问题太难，我们换一个吧。
  3. 你说得对，我没有别的意见。
  4. 总之，我的话说完了。

Explanation

引入第二个论点需要用过渡表达，把新观点与前面的内容衔接起来。“除了……还……”正好起到递进作用。结束语、附和或要求换题都不能引出新论点。

Question 31Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中说：“我认为中学生不应该带手机上学。”考官随后问：“那如果学生需要联系家长呢？”考官这样问的主要作用是什么？

  1. 考查考生的听力是否准确
  2. 表示考官已经同意考生的看法
  3. 提醒考生时间快到了
  4. 提出反例，促使考生进一步说明和修正观点 Correct answer.

Explanation

考官提出“需要联系家长”的情境，是在给出一个可能的反例，看考生能否回应并完善自己的论证。这不代表考官同意或反对，也与听力测试和时间提醒无关。考生应针对反例作出回应。

Question 32Oral examination: Discussion

在讨论中，下列哪种回答最能体现批判性思考？

  1. 我从来没想过这个问题。
  2. 这个做法非常好，没有任何缺点。
  3. 这个做法有好处，但也可能带来一些问题，比如…… Correct answer.
  4. 大家都这么做，所以一定是对的。

Explanation

批判性思考要求看到问题的多个方面，既承认优点也指出可能的局限。断言毫无缺点或以“大家都这么做”为理由都缺乏论证。表示没想过则没有展开思考。

Question 33Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中引用数据支持观点时，最稳妥的做法是什么？

  1. 声称“百分之百的人都同意”
  2. 编造一个精确到小数点的数字以显得专业
  3. 不提任何来源，直接说“数据显示”
  4. 说明数据的大致来源，并用“大约”等词表示不确定 Correct answer.

Explanation

引用数据时应保持谨慎，说明大致来源并用“大约”等词表示不确定性，这样更可信。编造精确数字或使用绝对化说法会削弱可信度。空泛地说“数据显示”也缺乏说服力。

Question 34Oral examination: Discussion

讨论进行到一半，考官沉默了几秒。考生最合适的反应是什么？

  1. 也保持沉默，等考官先开口
  2. 立刻结束发言并道歉
  3. 问考官是不是自己说错了
  4. 主动补充一个相关的例子或进一步说明观点 Correct answer.

Explanation

考官的短暂沉默可能是在等待考生继续展开，考生可以主动补充例子或进一步说明，以展示表达能力。跟着沉默会浪费交流机会。询问是否说错或道歉则显得缺乏自信。

Question 35Oral examination: Discussion

以下哪一组连接词最适合用来表示因果关系的论证？

  1. 一边……一边……
  2. 因为……所以…… Correct answer.
  3. 不但……而且……
  4. 虽然……但是……

Explanation

“因为……所以……”表示原因与结果，适合用于因果论证。“虽然……但是……”表示转折，“不但……而且……”表示递进，“一边……一边……”表示同时进行的动作，都与因果关系无关。

Question 36Oral examination: Discussion

考生想比较城乡教育资源的差异，以下哪种说法论证最充分？

  1. 教育问题很复杂，说不清楚
  2. 农村教育肯定比城市差很多
  3. 城市和农村的教育各有特点
  4. 城市学校师资和设备通常较充足，而一些农村学校在这些方面仍有差距 Correct answer.

Explanation

充分比较需要指出具体的比较维度，如师资和设备，并说明差异所在。笼统地说“差很多”缺乏依据，只说“各有特点”没有展开，表示说不清楚则没有论证。具体维度使比较更有说服力。

Question 37Oral examination: Discussion

在讨论中，考生被问到一个涉及个人经历的问题。以下哪种回答方式最合适？

  1. 详细讲述经历中每一个与主题无关的细节
  2. 编造一个感人的故事以打动考官
  3. 简述一段真实经历，并说明它如何影响了自己的看法 Correct answer.
  4. 拒绝回答，因为涉及个人隐私

Explanation

个人经历类问题应选择与主题相关的部分简要叙述，并点明它与观点的联系。无关细节过多会偏离主题。拒绝回答会失去交流机会，编造故事则违背诚实原则。

Question 38Oral examination: Discussion

讨论中考生说：“这个问题可以从个人和社会两个层面来看。”这句话的主要作用是什么？

  1. 向考官提出一个新的问题
  2. 说明考生要结束发言
  3. 表示考生不愿意回答这个问题
  4. 为后面的论述搭建结构，提示分析角度 Correct answer.

Explanation

这句话是在为后续论述划分层次，提示将从个人和社会两个角度展开，属于组织话语的结构性表达。它既不是拒绝回答，也不是结束语，更没有向考官提问。清晰的层次有助于考官理解论证。

Question 39Oral examination: Discussion

考官在讨论中问：“你觉得政府应该怎么做？”这个问题主要考查什么？

  1. 考生能否用英文回答
  2. 考生能否复述政府的官方文件
  3. 考生能否背诵一段名人名言
  4. 考生能否针对具体主体提出可行的建议 Correct answer.

Explanation

询问“政府应该怎么做”要求考生针对特定主体提出具体、可行的建议，体现解决问题的能力。这类问题不考查文件复述或英文能力。引用名言也不能代替具体建议。

Question 40Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中发现自己前面的说法有误，最恰当的处理方式是什么？

  1. 坚持原来的说法，即使知道有误
  2. 用中文说明并更正自己的说法，然后继续论述 Correct answer.
  3. 装作没说过，悄悄换一个话题
  4. 停下来向考官道歉并请求重考

Explanation

发现错误时，用中文自然地更正并继续论述，既诚实又能展示语言应变能力。装作没说过或坚持错误会影响论证的可信度。因小错误请求重考则反应过度。

Question 41Oral examination: Discussion

在讨论接近尾声时，考生用一句话概括自己的主要观点，这种做法的好处是什么？

  1. 可以代替前面所有的论证
  2. 帮助考官清楚记住考生的立场和主要理由 Correct answer.
  3. 能自动提高语言分数
  4. 可以缩短考试时间

Explanation

结尾概括能收束论述，让考官清楚记住考生的立场和核心理由，使回答结构完整。但概括不能代替前面的论证，也不会自动影响分数或缩短考试时间。它只是组织结构的一部分。

Question 42Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中大量使用“很好”“重要”“有意义”等笼统词语。这最可能带来什么问题？

  1. 考官会认为考生词汇量过大
  2. 观点显得空泛，缺少具体内容和论证 Correct answer.
  3. 语法错误明显增多
  4. 发音变得不准确

Explanation

笼统的评价词本身没有错，但若大量使用而缺少具体说明，观点就会显得空泛，难以体现思考深度。这类词语与语法错误、发音准确度没有直接关系。词汇量的大小也不能靠这类词体现。

Question 43Oral examination: Discussion

考官在讨论中故意提出与考生相反的观点。考生最有效的应对方式是什么？

  1. 立刻改变立场，完全同意考官
  2. 重复自己原来的话，不作任何回应
  3. 情绪激动地反驳考官
  4. 先承认对方观点中的合理之处，再有针对性地说明自己的立场 Correct answer.

Explanation

面对相反观点，先承认其中的合理之处再说明自己的立场，既显示理解力又保持论证的连贯性。立刻改变立场显得缺乏主见，重复原话没有回应质疑，情绪化反驳则不合适。这种回应方式体现成熟的讨论能力。

Question 44Oral examination: Discussion

以下哪种做法最能体现讨论中的“互动性”？

  1. 把准备好的答案一字不差地背出来
  2. 只回答“是”或“不是”
  3. 回应考官的问题并在此基础上进一步提问或补充 Correct answer.
  4. 全程不看考官，低头念笔记

Explanation

互动性体现在倾听对方的话并作出回应，再进一步补充或提问，形成真正的交流。逐字背诵、只作简单回答或低头念笔记都缺乏互动。讨论的本质是双向交流而非单向陈述。

Question 45Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中提出一个建议后，考官问：“这个建议在实际中可能遇到什么困难？”这个问题主要检验什么？

  1. 考生能否评估建议的可行性并预见现实障碍 Correct answer.
  2. 考生能否改变原来的建议
  3. 考生能否用成语描述困难
  4. 考生能否记住建议的提出者是谁

Explanation

询问建议可能遇到的困难，是要考生评估可行性，预见实施中的现实障碍，这属于较高层次的论证能力。该问题与建议的提出者、成语使用无关，也不要求考生放弃原建议。考生应具体分析障碍。

Question 46Oral examination: Discussion

在讨论部分，考生回答完一个问题后，最有助于推动对话继续的做法是什么？

  1. 用一句话把回答扩展出一个相关的小问题或新角度 Correct answer.
  2. 停下来等考官继续提问
  3. 重复一遍刚才说过的要点以示强调
  4. 把话题转回自己准备好的内容

Explanation

讨论是双向交流，考生在回答后主动延伸出一个相关角度或反问，可以显示思维的连贯性，也给考官提供继续追问的空间，使对话自然深入。单纯停顿或重复则会让交流停滞。

Question 47Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中描述一项调查结果时，最恰当的表达方式是哪一种？

  1. 调查结果非常重要，这一点大家都知道。
  2. 据一项针对五百名中学生的调查，约六成受访者支持这一做法。 Correct answer.
  3. 我听说有一个调查说很多人都同意。
  4. 大家都觉得这个调查结果是对的。

Explanation

引用调查时应交代调查对象和大致规模，并给出具体比例，这样信息才有说服力，也便于考官判断其可信度。含糊的“很多人”“大家都觉得”缺乏依据，无法支撑论点。

Question 48Oral examination: Discussion

考官问：“你认为学习第二语言对青少年的思维方式有什么影响？”考生下列哪种回答结构最清晰？

  1. 先表示这个问题很难回答，再请考官换一个问题。
  2. 先说明两种具体影响，再各举一例，最后指出影响程度因人而异。 Correct answer.
  3. 先讲自己学语言的经历，再讲朋友的经历，最后说学语言很有趣。
  4. 先说影响很大，再举几个不相关的例子，最后说因人而异。

Explanation

讨论中的回答宜先亮出要点，再以例子支撑，最后补充限定条件，这样层次分明、论证完整，也体现出对问题复杂性的认识。结构混乱或回避问题都会削弱表现。

Question 49Oral examination: Discussion

考生在讨论中说：“这个问题我不太了解，不过我可以从自己学校的经验谈谈。”这句话在交流中起到的主要作用是什么？

  1. 表示自己拒绝回答这个问题
  2. 说明自己学校的经验比研究更重要
  3. 承认知识局限，同时把话题引向自己能够具体展开的领域 Correct answer.
  4. 向考官暗示希望换一个更简单的问题

Explanation

坦诚说明不了解的范围，同时主动提供一个可以深入谈论的角度，既保持了交流的诚实，又避免讨论中断，是一种成熟的应对策略。这并不等于拒绝回答或贬低研究。

Question 50Oral examination: Discussion

讨论中考生提出“应该减少中学生课外补习”，考官追问：“如果家长坚持要孩子补习，你的建议还可行吗？”考生下列哪种回应最能体现论证的深度？

  1. 可行，只要政府下命令禁止就可以了。
  2. 可行，因为补习本来就没有必要。
  3. 这个问题和我刚才说的没有关系。
  4. 需要区分情况：如果先改变评价标准，家长的顾虑减少，建议才更容易落实。 Correct answer.

Explanation

面对质疑时，指出建议成立所依赖的条件，并说明如何创造这些条件，能够显示考生理解政策的现实约束，论证也更有层次。简单重复立场或否认问题关联都不能回应考官的质疑。
