2011年广东省高考英语听说真题二

Part A Reading Aloud

Tortoises, as heavy as four grown men. In their huge bodies they can store enough fat to go for a year without eating or drinking anything. To survive here, it seems you need to be a monster. Or is it just that you need to be different? Their rich fat and their giant size made tortoises perfect for the ship’s larder. In 200 years, over 200,000 were taken. On some islands tortoises were completely wiped out. But out of the tragedy came some good. As more people came to Galapagos, a clearer picture of the islands began to appear. Each got its own name.

Part B Role Play

情景介绍

角色：你是记者

任务：（1）采访Dr. Brown 有关外语学习的问题；

（2）根据谈话内容回答问题。

Listen to the dialogue once. Please get ready to ask three questions in English:

W：Dr. Brown, welcome to today’s program.

M: Thank you. It’s a pleasure being here.

W: We know you’re a language specialist. And you’ve just published a book on how to learn a foreign language and it is selling well. So tell us the title of your book.

M: It is called “Learning a language of accents and tones.”

W: Thant sounds very interesting. Tell us what you discuss in your book.

M: It is important to set a regular study program. Let you plan a few minutes every morning around breakfast time.

W: But I have been learning Spanish for four years. And I haven’t become a good speaker of it.

M: We can’t become fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there. We should follow a regular course of study.

1.你能再说多一点吗？

Can you say something more?

电脑回答：My basic suggestion is to learn a foreign language by taking small steps. Some people think they can learn a language in thirty days and become very discouraged when they can’t. Learning five new words a day and learning to use them actively is far better than learning thirty and forgetting them on the next day. But people may have different learning styles.

2.你说的学习风格是什么意思？

What do you mean by saying different learning styles?

电脑回答：I mean different ways of learning. Some people prefer to see models or the patterns they are expected to learn. Others favor hearing instructions of reading them. All preferences are determined by the factors such as character, culture and past experiences.

3.你是如何学习外语的？

How do you learn a foreign language?

电脑回答：I learn while doing things. Moving around, while trying to learn helps me.

I often recite aloud words while I cut up tomatoes and onions for my breakfast in the morning.

Please get ready to answer five questions in English:

1. What is Dr. Brown’s book about?

(How to learn a foreign language.)

2. How long has the woman been learning Spanish?

3. What is Dr. Brown basic suggestion about learning a foreign language?

Part C Retelling

梗概：Tom下班后被锁楼里，办公室电话不通，最后设法找到门卫出去了。

关键词：locked in 被锁，phone电话，doorkeeper 门卫，reception room 接待室，go home回家

Last summer vacation, Tom took a part-time job in a big company. His office was a very small room at the end of the second floor. One Friday evening when he finished his work, he walked out his office. It was already six o’clock. He looked around and found that everybody had gone home. The building was very quiet. And the main lights were all out. He ran down stairs to see whether he could find somebody. But it was too late, the doors were all locked. And he was locked in the building. Tome went back to his office to phone the doorkeeper. But the phone did not work. He tried another one. And that phone did not work, either. Tome realized that the phones in the office had been switched up for the weekend.

He thought, “Well, I have to be here for the weekend.” Suddenly, he remembered that in a reception room, there was a phone which was always on. So he rushed to the reception room, the room was locked, too. So he went into the room through the window and phoned the doorkeeper. Half an hour later, the doorkeeper came and Tom went home.
