Section A
Conversation One
M: Mum, I can’t find my car keys. I put them here in the drawer last night. W: Oh, yes. I had to go and see Aunt Jane this morning. So I took the car. I think I put the keys in my purse.
M: There are not in there, mum. Did you leave them in the car?
W: Of course not, dear. Oh, here they are, in my pocket.
Conversation Two
M: Oops! I’m late getting home, but I don’t have enough money for a taxi. W: Why don’t you just take the bus?
M: At this time? The traffic is terrible. I need to be home in less than thirty minutes. My piano teacher will be there soon.
W: Well, I suppose the train is the only thing left for you. It’s fast and not too expensive, either.
M: Yes, you’re right. I better be off. Bye!
Conversation Three
M: Good eveni ng, Mary. Why didn’t you go to the party this afternoon? It was so fun.
W: It’s because I was ill.
M: No, but you looked just fine this morning. Tell me why you didn’t go.
W: Well, I just didn’t have the time. Ok?
M: But you were sleeping the whole afternoon? Come on. Tell me exactly why you didn’t go there.
W: Ok, you want to know why? I’m telling you why. I wasn’t invited. That’s why.
Conversation Four
M: Hi, I like to buy a mobile phone, please.
W: What functions do you want, sir?
M: Just basic functions, please.
W: Ok, then I would recommend the PE310.
M: Err… What if I also want to store some music?
W: How about the RT230? It’s also a wonderful music player. If you want to listen to music and take photos, then the FG160 may be a good choice.
M: How much is that?
W: 300 dollars. But if you pay in cash, you can get a ten percent discount. M: You mean 270 dollars? But that’s still very expensive.
W: Then how about the first one? It costs just 100 dollars. Ok, I’ll take the first one then.
Conversation Five
W: Hello, Philip. How are you?
M: Fine, thank you. Emily. I’m so glad that you phoned. How is your dress designing going in London?
W: Pretty good. And how was your basketball game in Paris?
M: It’s great. We won it and I was named the best player of the game.
W: Congratulations. You’re always the best.
M: Thanks. Oh, did I tell you about my trip to London?
W: Yes. When are you coming?
M: I will be arriving at Heathrow Airport at around 4 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.
W: Oh, dear. I can’t meet you at the ai rport then because I have an appointment with my son’s headmaster at that time. But never mind. I can ask my brother Bob to pick you up.
M: That’s good. Thanks a lot.
Conversation Six
W: How is your studying going?
M: It seems that university is much harder than high school.
W: Yes, I agree. I’m very pleased that I finished my studies and started my job in a supermarket. Ok, now. What do you want to see tonight?
M: I don’t know. I quite like comedy and drama, but adventure is always my favorite.
W: Well. There is a new adventure movie on at the Circle Cinema tonight. Will that do?
M: Yeah. Why not?
W: Well, would you mind if we first stopped off at the café on Long Street? M: No worries.

But we tho ught it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First, we tried setting three fixed days: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had an idea that everyone told me his o r her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while, the children were still unhappy with the ide a, they said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually though, they began to see these e venings together an interesting and helpful.We laughed a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other’s problems. After a couple of months, anybody who h ad to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now, we all feel that we have been able to build much stronger relationships w ithin family than we had before.。

(A. whichC. howD. when)People in communities have slowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly because people simply aren’t taking the time to say a simple “hello”. After considering this phenomenon, I decided I was going to change the way I was doing things.My opportunity came one morning when I was in the community library. I passed by a girl who dropped her books out of her locker. Thinking like most that someone else would help her pick them up, I continued my way. However, when I had to go back because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself. No one had stopped to help her.“OK,” I thought to myself, “this is where I should have changed.”My best opportunity came a few days later when I saw a man sitting by himself waiting for the library to open, so I sat down next to him and began a conversation. It was difficult to get started, and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every response from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it. And who could blame him?People aren’t used to making an unprepared chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how desperately it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible. I advise you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try t o make someone’s day a little brighter. Together, we can really make society come closer as a whole.Does going to college really pay off？Certainly！I remember taking an English class in college on the short story. Our first assignment was to read two short stories and then discuss which one was better. After reading both, I wasn’t sure. Over the next several months, my professor taught me why one story was so much better than the other. One was rich in metaphor (隐喻) and character development, while the other was humorous but too shallow. I couldn’t see this at first. Yet, in a few months, my brain got reeducated and I could see the difference between good and bad writing and could appreciate literature at a whole new level.Going to college helps build a strong mind, which leads to greater success in one’s life.AWhen first entered, V anak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environmentis truly charming.Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plate piled with food.The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well.The food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat.One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef.Although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere and the food is delicious. It is a place that should not be overlooked.BMy father was Chief Engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II, The book Night of the U-boats told the story.MemoriesIn September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him safe.Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo (鱼雷).I can remember the arrival of the telegram (电报), which in those days always brought had news. My grandmother opened it. It read, “Safe. Love Ted.”My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.Ten years later I read Night of the U-bouts and was able to complete the story.TorpedoOne torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck fast. When he tried to cut it free, it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.A ToastIn my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest (以免) we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.CA recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的) species.The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant, African forest elephant, and African savanna elephant.Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石)，mammoths and mastodons, the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammothsThe scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephants and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.Previously many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species, despite the elephants’ significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5metres. The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However, the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna eleph ants at two different units for conservation purposes. Since 1950, all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority (优先) for conservation purposes.”A person searches various websites for different reasons, such as school, work, or entertainment. For teenagers, many informative resources on the Internet can be used. As a matter offact, there are educational, music and art websites that are truly helpful to teenagers, because they can help make one’s life easier.Educational websites are helpful to a teenager in doing school work and searching for a college. Some can help studying for tests, explaining a lesson, and doing homework. Some can help find the right schools based on one’s interests. And still others have pages devoted to the social life at each of the colleges or the specific activities that occur at a certain school.Some free music sites enable a teenager to diversify their musical tastes. On these sites, all types of music are available such as pop, rock, jazz, and country. One can type in a song, category or artist and his or her entire catalog appears. Then, the listener can make multiple playlists without creating an account (账户) with the site.There are various art websites that can help students to appreciate and create art pieces. On these sites, a student can view numerous photos and art pieces from different mediums or create an account with the website to upload their art pieces for people to see. In addition, one can enjoy various art projects that people have created on display for the rest of the world.Truly informative resources are offered on the Internet. The best suggestion one can receive is to try to look for new websites that can help in the educational, music, or art area, so one can become well-rounded and informed.My First Long RunTwo weeks ago, I had a quarrel with my husband. After he had driven off in anger, I realized that I wasn’t going to feel any better just sitting there. Feeling abandoned and guilty, I put on my gym shoes to get some fresh air.Our driveway has a slope (斜坡) that is easier just to jog down if you are lazy, taking advantage of gravity. Instead of stopping at the end of the slope, I decided to see if I could just jog to the end of the street. I had tried a few months ago and failed miserably. Since that first attempt I had been jogging regularly and was significantly fitter, but still very lazy. However this time around I managed to reach the stop sign with ease and I figured I would go a little further.After about one kilometer, however, I noticed that my upper body was tense. To make the movement easier I had to relax my body, and tried to take deep breaths of fresh air.I kept giving myself the excuse to stop. No one would be disappointed. No one would even know. But I didn’t stop. I wanted to keep going harder, better, faster, stronger. To my great surprise, I ran 4.9 km in 31 minutes. When I got back, I had tears in my eyes. I did something I thought I could never do.It was the first long run of my life. Since then, I have improved my stride (步幅) and time. After every run I feel fitter, happier and motivated to keep progressing. I l ove the runner’s high. I normally jog because I want to look good. I want to run because it makes me feel good.。

北京2011年高考英语听力试题原文1W: Normally, we supply 3 colors only, black, blue and red.M: But we really want green ones.W: In that case, it will be more expensive.2M: Are you finished with the newspaper, Mary?W: Almost. Here, you can take the news section. And the entertainment section is in the living room.M: Oh, I just want to read the sports section.3M: I need a summer job that will give me some exercise.W: How about being a life guard?M: Life guards don’t swim that much. They usually just sit.W: Well then, you could become a swimming coach, or a tour guide.M: Tour guide is a good idea. I’d walk all day.4M: Are you going on holiday with your brother again this year?W: Yes. He’s coming home from Canada tomorrow.M: Where are you going?W: I’ve already booked a hotel in Turkey, but my brother wanted to go to Italy, so I hope he doesn’t mind.5W: I thought it was a great movie. So visually exciting and the sharks look really scary at times.M: I hated to admit it, but it made me jump a bit of times too. I guess recent advances in camera technology helped.6-7M: Hello, 6632278.W: Hi, Jack. It’s me, Ann. I wasn’t at school today. Have we got any homework to do for tomorrow?M: Let me see. Well, we got to do the math problems on page 40 in our textbook.W: All right. I’ve got it.M: Then, we have to go on with our reading for English. The history teacher wants us to read the chapter on the History of London for tomorrow, and write down the most important dates and events in that chapter.W: Anything else? Ah…music?M: No, we haven’t any music homework, but the science teacher is giving us a test(微博) on Friday, so we have to study for that.W: Oh no. I’m so bad at science. I hate it. Thanks, Jack.M: Don’t mention it. See you tomorrow.8-9M: Still feeling ill?W: Yes. That medicine hasn’t helped. Not a good start to our vacation, I’m afraid.M: Do you have any idea what caused it?W: Well, I thought it might be last night’s dinner.M: But I’m fine. Could it be the heat? It’s enough to make anyone ill.W: I know. But we’ve been here a week now. Anyway, I’ve been careful in the sun and I’ve been drinking bottles of water.M: Then we’d better stay in the hotel today.10-12M: Well, do you have anything planned for the Saturday?W: Eh, I’m kind of busy. Why do you ask?M: I was wondering if we could get together and do something, like going to a concert or taking a walk by the lake.W: I’d love to, but I’m really busy this weekend.M: That’s too bad.W: I have promised to help with the cleaning of the house at 10:30 in the morning. And then, I have an appointment with the dentist at 12:30pm.M: How about after the dentist’s appointment?W: Then, I have to meet Jim at 4:30pm to help him with the science project due on Monday morning.M: OK, then, maybe some other time.13-15Well, we are now looking at ways to make shopping less tiring. You know, a day at the shops wears people out. And we considered a number of ideas. Carrying shopping around is very tiring, and we looked at ways to avoid that. We thought of hiring out small electrically driven cars to shoppers, but we came up against problems of space. There just isn’t enough room. We also thought about those moving walk ways, like the ones you see at the airports. We decided it against then though, because they require a major redesign of the whole center. What we have actually come up with is a new technology where you but what you want and then just leave it on the shelf. That way, you don’t need to carry your heavy shopping around with you all day. When you want to go home, our computer system automatically sends everything you’ve bought to your exit point, and you pick it up there.16-20W: Good morning, Sir. Can you help me?M: What’s wrong?W: My daughter is missing. I can’t find her anywhere.M: OK, calm down. I’m going to help you to find her. How long ago did she go missing?W: About one hour ago. At 4 o’clock, perhaps. I’ve been looking for her for almost an hour now.M: And where did you last see her?W: We were just shopping in the vegetable section. I turned around and she was gone.M: What’s her name?W: Melissa. M-E-L-I-S-S-A. She’s only five. She doesn’t speak Spanish.M: OK. What does she look like?W: She has dark brown hair. She’s thin and small for her age.M: OK. What is she wearing today?W: Blue shorts and a pink T-shirt. She has a hat on too, I think.M: Don’t worry. Everything is going to be OK.W: What should I do?M: Stay right at the front of the store in case she is looking for you. We will start looking for her now.。
