考研英语复试指南：提前准备好话题
英语听力和口语测试是研究生复试中的重要组成部分。从2005年起研究生初试中英语
取消听力，英语听力和口语的考查放到复试中进行，英语听力和口语的分值要记入总分，考
生对英语口语和听力一定要认真准备。
听说能力涉及专业问题
英语的复试基本围绕听力和口语展开。 研究生复试的英语部分一般是由学校的公共英
语或研究生公共英语教研室来考核。
良好的英语听说能力是复试成功的保证。复试中对英语的听说能力考查比较多，有时候
也会涉及一些专业性的问题。导师也大都比较在意自己弟子的英语水平。自我感觉上线的考
生要开始温习自己的英语听力和口语了。
听力准备要提前预热
据了解，英语听力部分，大多数学校都以现有的成型考试为参考。考生在准备听力复试
的过程中，对于现有的成熟英语考试的听力部分一定要重视，比如六级听力、托福听力和雅
思听力应该是复习的重点。在复习时可以有针对性地做一些六级或托福听力或雅思听力的试
题。如果觉得做题太枯燥，收听一下英语新闻，看看迪斯尼的动画片，也是培养语感的好方
法。
听英语广播和看英语电影也是提高英语听力口语的好方法，在参加复试前这段有限的时
间里要尽快熟悉与考试相近的内容。考生大都考过六级听力，并不陌生，而托福听力又是四
六级听力命题的基础，熟悉了四六级和托福听力；英语复试问题就不算太大。总之，在这段
宝贵的时间里，要赶快做点预热的准备，主要是做点听力题，找找做题的节奏和感觉。
口语测试准备好话题
对口语的考查，各个学校各不相同。有的学校制定了非常详细的标准和流程，甚至规定
了每个老师发问的方式和时间；有的只是面试老师的自由发挥，成绩也基本上由面试老师主
观判定。不管面试是否严格控制，考生对下面几个问题一定要认真准备：一是自我介绍，如
自己来自什么地方，毕业学校，所学专业，业余喜好，家庭基本情况等信息。二是做好用英
语讲解自己专业的准备。口语测试时老师有可能要求你就本专业展开话题，考查你用英语讲
解陌生概念的能力。因此考生对此要有所准备，先用笔头组织这些问题的要点，然后再以这
些词组织语言。在阅读专业文献时，也要多积累一些专业方面的英语词汇。当然提问的问题
不可能难度太高，比如Whatis businessmanagement？In youropinion,whatis the
most important element in business management 等一些简单的提问。
考研复试英语口语经典问题汇总
考研英语面试中，在自我介绍完结束后，老师就会开始问你问题。在回答过程中要结合
自己的经历和见解来准备答案，让自己回答的问题和整个的自我介绍融为一个整体。跨考教
育复试英语辅导名师李少丽老师认为，在每一年的面试中都会有很多相同的问题，这些问题

起来很平常的问题，是很有艺术的。
一、传统面试问题(Sample Traditional Interview Questions)
1、What can you tell me about yourself?(关于你自己，你能告诉我些什么?)
InhighschoolIwas involvedincompetitivesportsandIalwaystriedtoimprove
in each sport I participated in. As a college student, I worked in a clothing store
part-time and found that I could sell thingseasily. The sale was important,but for
me,it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied. It was
not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to
help them. I'm very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best.
分析：这一问题如果面试没有安排自我介绍的时间的话。这是一个必问的问题。考官并
不希望你大谈你的个人历史。是在寻找有关你性格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。
答案译文：在高中我参加各种竞争性体育活动，并一直努力提高各项运动的成绩。大学
期间，我曾在一家服装店打工，我发现我能轻而易举地将东西推销出去。销售固然重要，但
对我来说，更重要的是要确信顾客能够满意。不久便有顾客返回那家服装店点名让我为他们
服务。我很有竞争意识，力求完美对我很重要。
2.What would you like to be doing five years after graduation?(在毕业以后 5年内
你想做些什么?)

为区域负责人，所以我亦有此打算。

I feel a real sense of accomplishment when I finish a job and it turns out just as
I'd planned. I've set some high goals for myself. For example,I want to graduate
with highest distinction. And even though I had a slow start in my freshman year,
I made up for it by doing an honor's thesis.
分析：这是很多面试考官喜欢问的一个问题，这是你“展示自己”的最佳机会，不要吹
嘘自己或过于自负，但要让雇主知道你相信自己，你知道自己的优点。
答案译文：“我认为我最大的优点是能够执着地尽力把事情办好。当做完一件工作而其
成果又正合我的预想时，我会有一种真正的成就感。我给自己定了一些高目标。比如说，我
要成为出色的毕业生。尽管在大学一年级时我启动慢了些，但最终我以优等论文完成了学
业。”
4. What is your greatest weakness?(你最大的弱点是什么?)
I'm such a perfectionist that I will not stop until a job is well done.
分析：你不应该说你没有任何弱点，以此来回避这个问题。每个人都有弱点，最佳策略

研究生入学考试初试的结束意味着复试已经悄然被提上日程。和初试不同，复试不是绝对化
的客观性考试，而是一种面对面的交流。如此一来，一些细节性的东西就凸现出来了，在我
们英语口试过程当中更是如此，我们应该予以高度的重视，提前做好准备，这样我们方能够
知己知彼百战不殆。
考研复试英语辅导名师刘兴欢老师针对英语口试的细节问题进行分析，希望给广大在准
备中的学子们带来帮助。
一、复试中的口试要求
1、评价标准：

的语言长短等)
(3)语言的灵活性和适合性(语言表达是否灵活、自然，话语是否得体，语言能否与语境、动
能和目的相适应)
2、口语测试一般包含如下两部分：
第一部分：考查学生理解并回答有关日常生活、家庭、工作、学习等问题的能力(3--5分钟)

己的看法(7--10分钟)。

要借此了解你的口头表达能力以及你的报名表之外的一些信息。自我介绍时间以2-3分钟为
宜。思路要清楚，要突出重点，口语尽量流利。
1) 自我介绍的主体内容
① 姓名。介绍自己姓名时，发音一定要准(南方考生要多加注意)。
② 年龄。年龄可以跟在姓名后带过(I am XXX, 25 years old)。
③ 原来的院校、专业。注意：一定要把原来学校的英文名称、专业的英文名称弄清楚(尤其
是跨校、跨专业的学生)。
所属的公司、职位。注意：在职考生则应将自己公司、自己职位/职称的英文名称弄明白。
④ 性格、能力，爱好等。可以着重强调你的个性对你报考的专业有何积极的作用。如果报
考的是学术性的专业，可以说自己细心(carefully，detail-oriented)、条理分明(logical)、
踏实(steady)等；如果是研究性、应用性更强一点的专业，可以说自己负责(responsible)、
可靠(dependable)、有效率(efficient)等。
⑤你对报考的专业有兴趣(be interested in/be fascinated with/be obsessed with…)，
可适当举出一些例子，如经常看相关的书籍、论文、文章、新闻等。在职考生可以强调知识
教育对工作的影响： In my work, I find it necessary to broaden my horizons in
communication. That’s why I long for entering your prestigious university。
结束时可以用说：That’s all about me. / Well, that’s who I am. Thanks for your
attention。
3、未来规划——学习规划(研究生以后的方向)，人生规划(短期、长期)
4、跨专业问题——老师通常会对跨专业的学生问这样一个问题：为什么会选择这个专业？

列一下，对具有自己特色的原因则可大谈特谈，详细地阐述自己的观点，让老师印象深刻。
5、专业知识——在英语口试中(非英语专业)，如果老师提问专业问题，通常不会指望你能
进行流利的、专业性强的阐述；但是一些专业术语的英文说法还是有必要了解一下的。
6、提出问题——在面试快结束的时候，一般老师都会问，你有没有什么要问的(Doyouhave
any questions to ask?)。一般不适合说“I don’t have any question。”可以问考官一
两个你关心的问题。
