2017年5月大学英语六级口语考试真题——小组讨论之扶老人是我们的责任吗？

2017年5月21日的大学英语六级口语考试第五场的小组讨论的话题是：扶老人是我们的责任吗？从道德层面讲，毋庸置疑，扶老人是我们的责任，也符合社会主义社会的价值观。可是社会上存在一种现象：扶老人者被讹诈，这种现象无疑伤了扶老人者的心，因此，才有了“到底要不要扶摔倒在地的老人”的争论。作为大学生的你们，在遇到这个问题该如何回答呢？建议考生的想法要跟社会主义价值观保持一致，该扶的时候要扶，只不过要自己多加小心，以防被讹。下面是为大家呈现的范本，希望能对广大考生有所启发。

A: Hello. I am glad to do the pair work with you. Do you think lifting up the old is our responsibility?
B: Yes, of course it’s our responsibility to lift up the old. Just imagine what could happen if we do not reach out to them. Maybe the old might lose their lives if we do not help them immediately.
A: That’s true. We should not allow that phenomenon to exist in our society. No matter what will happen after we lift up the old, first and foremost, we should ensure the life safety of the old.
B: However, some old people swindled the people who lifted them up, which chill the hearts of the warm-hearted.
A: Therefore, the people who want to help the strange old people should have witnesses to guarantee that they cannot be blackmailed.
B: Besides, our country should legislate that the people offering help can be protected by the law, and the ones extorting under false pretences should be punished.
A: It’s a good idea. Thus the people who are good-willed will not be harmed, and the people who want to do the blackmail will be restricted and their evil intentions cannot succeed.
B: I quite agree with you about that.
