2024年广东高考英语听说考试真题 Test A 1 Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读) China has introduced a new, eco-friendly train called the Intelligent Rail Transit or IRT. Unlike traditional trains, the IRT doesn’t run on tracks. Instead, it moves on roads using electricity, making it pollution-free. It can speed up to 60 miles per hour and carry 100 passengers in each section, much more than a regular bus. The IRT communicates with traffic lights intelligently and uses sensors to follow road markers. This enables the vehicle to autonomously make its way through urban roads. Bringing IRT to cities in China helps reduce traffic and introduces a new way to travel in the future. 2 Part B Role Play (角色扮演) 情景介绍 角色：你是Mary。 任务：(1) 与朋友Tom谈论乡村墙画的话题；     (2) 根据谈话内容回答另一朋友的提问。 下面请用英语提出三个问题。 1． 你们通常画些什么呢？ 2． 村民们喜欢这些变化吗？ 3． 孩子们跟你们学画画了吗？ 3 Part C Retelling (故事复述) 梗概：Mary想加入Tom的比赛团队遭拒，后帮助团队攻克难题，获邀入队。 关键词：competition (比赛)              team (团队)              doubted (怀疑)              solution (解决方法)              invited (邀请) 参考答案 Part B Role Play(角色扮演) 视频 W:Hi, Tom.

Test B 1 Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读) Underwater bubbles are pockets of gas that are trapped within liquids, a mixture much more substantial than air, but considerably softer and less dense than water. Animals that spend a lot of time underwater have some incredible ways of exploiting the fact that bubbles reduce the density of water. These are emperor penguins. They store air in their feathers, which they release as clouds of bubbles. This makes the water around the penguin less dense and much easier to move through. It means the penguins can travel up to 50% faster than if there were no bubbles. 2 Part B Role Play (角色扮演) 情景介绍 角色：你是Tom。 任务：(1) 与朋友Mary谈论年轻人租住养老院的话题；          (2) 根据谈话内容回答另一朋友的提问。 参考词汇：care home 养老院 下面请用英语提出三个问题。 1． 为什么房租这么低？ 2． 你住在那里开心吗？ 3． 你从老年人那儿学到了什么呢？ 3 Part C Retelling (故事复述) 梗概：Tom想成为歌剧演员，在歌剧院做清洁工，勤学苦练，终获导演赏识。 关键词：opera singer (歌剧演员)              cleaner (清洁工)              practiced (练习)              stage (舞台)              director (导演) 参考答案 Part BRole Play(角色扮演) 视频 M:Hi Mary, long time no see.

Test C 1 Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读) Wave energy comes from ocean waves, which are endless because they’re caused by how the Earth and Moon move. This energy can be turned into electricity, even from small waves. Unlike solar or wind power, wave energy is reliable, working day and night and getting stronger in bad weather. Technology now lets us capture this energy more efficiently. Devices in the ocean turn wave movement into electricity, which can power homes and cities, especially since many people live near coasts. But using wave energy is challenging because ocean water can damage devices. They need to be tough and protected against rust and water. 2 Part B Role Play (角色扮演) 情景介绍 角色：你是Tom。 任务：(1) 与朋友Mary谈论植树造林的话题；          (2) 根据谈话内容回答另一朋友的提问。 参考词汇：sandstorm 沙尘暴 下面请用英语提出三个问题。 1． 那时你的家乡是什么样的呢？ 2． 变化是怎么发生的呢？ 3． 他们如何增加收入呢？ 3 Part C Retelling (故事复述) 梗概：Tom去看球赛走错球场，帮助Mary回家，碰巧在她家看到现场球赛。 关键词：soccer game (足球赛)             wrong (错误的)             bag (袋子)             hesitated (犹豫)             sitting room (客厅) 参考答案 Part B Role Play(角色扮演) 视频 M:Hi, Mary.

But there was another very important difference between these hunter-gatherers and any of their predecessors. They were settling down. A huge shift, which would help spark Europe-wide revolution. Communities settled down and populations expanded. This could’ve driven the need to start producing food. And as farming spread, the landscape was transformed. Forests were cleared and villages, then towns, then cities would grow, founded by descendants of the small groups of pioneers who first entered Europe around 45, 000 years ago. Those early Europeans were people just like you and me.

Test B Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读) Back then, most of Arabia was brutal desert. Is it really possible that a handful of Stone Age people could’ve trekked through hundreds of miles of this and gone on to populate the whole world? There is no way they could’ve done it without more widespread sources of fresh water.  So, around 70, 000 years ago, the Arabian coastline was very different to today. Freshwater springs bubbled up all the way along it. If our ancestors attempted this route, they would’ve found a lifeline. And it’s perhaps no wonder that there seems to have been just one successful attempt in our ancestors’ journey.

He had written a play and this play was going to be performed on stage. Not surprisingly, he was invited to give his advice on the scenery, the lighting and all the other things that helped to make the play successful. But Tom was a man very difficult to please, as he had his own ideas of how each thing should look like. In one of the scenes in the play, the young lovers watch the sunset together before singing love songs. So it was necessary to produce the effect of a wonderful sunset. Lighting engineers of the theatre worked very hard to produce the sunset effect. They tried out all kinds of arrangements and combinations of lights—red lights, orange lights, yellow lights, blue lights, lights from above, lights from behind. Yet nothing satisfied Tom. One afternoon in the theatre, when he was feeling sleepy, all of a sudden, he saw the exact effect that he had been dreaming of. Tom was very excited. “That’s it!” he shouted to the lighting engineers working behind the stage. But the chief engineer said he couldn’t keep it like that. In fact, lighting the theatre was on fire. Test C Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读) In 1905, sitting alone on a city bus, Einstein looks back at the clock tower and what he sees is astonishing. In his imagination, as he reaches the speed of light, the hands of the clock appear frozen in time. Einstein knows that back at the clock tower, time is passing normally. But on Einstein’s light-speed bus, the light from the clock can no longer catch up to him. The faster he races through space, the slower he moves through time.

The public were fascinated but also troubled by what they saw, because it was widely believed that the people of the Dark Continent had no history and no culture and the thing called civilization.

But co-operation in the chimp world is a fragile thing. Chimps will co-operate, but only for selfish ends. Human children did something that no other ape will do. In that small act of sharing, they reveal something that really does lie at the heart of what it is to be human.

Every time he tried to make dinner, even the neighbors smelt how bad it was. Then Tom got another idea — why not order some French food? I can serve that food instead of my bad cooking. The day finally arrived. While mom was still at work, Tom ordered the food, picked it up and brought it home. As he laid down the knives and forks, and lit the candles, mom walked in. “Happy birthday! Mom!” Tom showed off the beautiful dinner, smiling. Mom looked a little confused, then she responded happily, “You are so sweet, my dear. But my birthday is tomorrow. And I guess it’s always good to practice.” 197 美音 Test D Part A Reading Aloud The most ambitious map in history is taking shape before our eyes. And scientists are heading for the edge.

Mrs. Brown invited her to come in and apologized because things were all over the floor and there was no place for her to sit.

Before Mr. and Mrs. Brown could explain anything, the lady added that in some parts of the city, neighbors were not friendly at all, and that some people didn’t know any of their neighbors, not even the ones living next door. It seemed to her that people in this building were very friendly and they were like one big family. At last, the lady wished Mr. and Mrs. Brown a happy life here.

Some people think they can learn a foreign language in thirty days, and they become very discouraged when they can’t. Learning 5 words a day and learning to use them actively is far better than Learning 30 and forgetting them the next day. But people many have different learning styles. 2． 学生问：What do you mean by “learning styles?” 电脑答：I mean different ways of learning. Some prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn; others see the hearing instructions over reading them. All preferences are determined by factors so just character, culture and past experiences. 3． 学生问：How did you learn a foreign language? 电脑答：I learned while doing things.

When westerners first discovered Chinese paintings like this one, they could not see their value. To understand painting, you need to understand calligraphy. The character is not a picture of an object in the real world, but a symbol for an idea. As Chinese characters are symbols for ideas, so elements in a Chinese landscape, rocks, water, trees and mountains, became symbols of concepts. For the Chinese, pictures painted with a brush are symbols that carry both the surface meaning and additional hidden meanings. Chinese paintings are not just pretty pictures. They mean something.

Test D 1、Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读) The Earth is bathed in a flood of energy from the sun. A tiny part of that energy is the sunlight we see. All light, and therefore all color, carries energy.

And this is a star that’s glowing blue. This color indicates a temperature of nearly 10,000 degrees. So we know it’s a younger and hotter star. So color isn’t just energy.

They voted on the family tour’s destination. This year, Tom hoped to go to a theme park in a big southern city. He thought he would get all the votes like last year. However, this time, most votes went to Grandma’s choice—her hometown, a small village. Tom didn’t want to go and complained that his idea was not valued. Father said, “We must respect the result of the vote.” Feeling that it was impossible to persuade the family to change the destination, he thought maybe he could make Grandma give up the tour herself. The day before the tour, when Grandma was busy packing, Tom lied to Grandma that he was not feeling very well. Grandma stopped the packing, hesitated a moment and told Tom that she would stay to look after him. Seeing Grandma’s worries about him, Tom felt ashamed of his trick and said sorry to Grandma. The next day, the whole family left for Grandma’s hometown. Much to his surprise, Tom had great fun there—maybe no less fun than in the theme park. More importantly, seeing Grandma’s excitement and happiness, Tom was glad that Grandma was back to her own theme park. Test B 1 Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读) A week has passed.

She was expected to carry on the family business. However, Mary hated making sweets, but dreamed of becoming a writer. Recently, she won a national writing award. She thought it a chance to tell the family her dream. When she told the good news of her award, her grandpa looked happy, but her father impatiently interrupted her, saying that she should have spent more time making sweets rather than on writing. Mary was totally upset, thinking her parents would never support her to be a writer. The next day, there was a grand family meal. All her aunts, uncles and cousins came and they kept talking about sweets business. Mary felt like an outsider in this happy crowd. When grandpa joked about Mary sweets making skills, she cried out, “I hate making sweets. I want to be a writer.” The crowd immediately went silent. Mary’s father jumped in anger. Grandpa stopped him. Then he had a long talk with Mary in private. After the talk, grandpa told the whole family it’s a mistake to give up a genius writer for an average sweets maker.

Were you like to shop around there?  W: I am afraid not.  M: But you used to do a lot of shopping at this time of the year.  W: Things changed. Now I don’t want to buy anything that I don’t actually need. I’ve been practising a simple lifestyle for almost eight months. 三问： 1． 提问：这种简单生活方式是什么意思？ 考生翻译：What does this simple lifestyle mean? 电脑回答：It means reducing life to its basic needs.

And some people even struggle to get started. 2． 提问：你是怎样开始的呢？ 考生翻译：How did you get started? 电脑回答：I started with my clothes. That was really a painful process as I used to be such a big fan of fashion. I carefully sorted out my clothes, kept necessary ones, and put the rest in five big boxes. But I really loved some clothes in the boxes. I even put some of them back to the wardrobe /'wɔ:drəʊb/ again and again. Several weeks later, I’ve finally made a firm decision to donate the five boxes of clothes. 3． 提问：你后悔过这个决定吗？ 考生翻译：Have you ever regretted this decision? 电脑回答：A few times, yes. But I know I’ve made the right decision. Now my life has been totally changed. I have only a few clothes to choose from. So I spend less time deciding on what to wear before I leave home every day.

The film first traced the origin of tennis to Britain in the 19th century. At that time the gentlemen were in suit and the ladies in dress when playing tennis. They looked elegant and fashionable. You know my passion for fashion. So I lost my mind when the film continued to talk about clothing industry. 提问②：网球和服装业有什么关系？ 翻译：What is the relationship between tennis and clothing industry? 电脑回答：According to the film, tennis supplied many original ideas for the designers in the clothing industry.

So I registered for the tennis training course. 提问③：你为什么要放弃呢？ 翻译：What do you want to give up? 电脑回答：Because there is a world of difference between playing tennis on the court and watching tennis in the film.

Test B Part A Reading Aloud Aging is happening to us all of the time. Our own family is often our best guide to what it will mean. When we imagine our older age, a lot of us look at our parents. We know we’ve inherited their genes and suspect that what’s happening to them now may well be what happens to us in the future. And that’s something we’re likely to have mixed feelings about. Because we inherit our parents’ genes, we might also be vulnerable to some of the same illnesses. Our skin cells simply can’t replace themselves as well as they did. Even if you have spectacular genes, eventually we’ll start to look older. Part B Role-play 角色：你是 Mary。 任务：（1）与同学 Tom 谈论机器人的话题； （2）根据谈话容回答另一同学的提问。 生词：teammate 队友 对话 W: Hi, Tom.

Black holes are the most terrifying places in the universe. Created when a giant star dies, at their dark hearts is a point of infinite gravity. So powerful, nothing can escape it, not even light. Black holes, instead of lasting forever, as everyone thought, eventually disappear, leaving no trace of anything, including information. Every black hole has a boundary. It’s the point of no return. If anything passes the boundary, it takes its information with it.

She handed in the envelope to a clerk. The clerk opened it, read the check, and told Mary that it was $5000. Mary was surprised at the large amount of money and thought that Tom must have made a mistake. So she hurried back to Tom and told him about the mistake. Hearing this, Tom had a look at the check and thought for a while. Then he replied with a smile, “Yes, I did make a mistake. I wrote 5000 instead of 500. But please accept the $5000 because your honesty is worth far more than that.” 参考复述： There was a young painter named Mary who needed to make some money.

Evidence shows that students who love sports generally do well in their study. In a report published last month in the US, researchers have learned how sports affect children’ s brains. They found that the more sports you do, the smarter you might become. But I think too much exercise can be harmful as well. We need to find a balance.      2. 为什么运动能使我们更聪明？ Why can sports make us smarter? Well, it’s hard to explain. Basically, doing sports makes our brain cells more active, which leads to better brain function, such as memory, attention and reasoning. So doing sports doesn’t just build muscles, it improves brain function as well. Sports lovers usually feel less anxious and stressful in class than those who don’t love sports.      3. 运动如何帮助提升我们的课堂表现？ How do sports help us improve class performance? Well, the skills learned from doing sports can be applied to the classroom, too. For example, playing soccer requires quick movement and sharp concentration on the ball. In class, those skills can help us more easily grasp concepts and work through difficult problems.  五答 1． What was Tom going to do? He was going jogging.  2． How often does Tom play basketball?

Quick movement and sharp concentration on the ball.    Part C Tapescript:                            A note of apology Tom was a young man who recently got his driver’s license.

In a hurry, he was not careful enough when driving out of the parking lot. His car hit the door of the car parked next to his. Feeling sorry, Tom immediately got off to check and found slight damage on that car. He tried to find a way to contact the car owner, but there was no one out around so early in the morning. As he was short of time, Tom left a note of apology on the window of that car. He also put down his mobile phone number on the note so that the car owner could contact him. Two days later, Tom received a phone call from a gentleman. He said he was the car owner and he thanked Tom for leaving the note. He said that Tom didn’t need to compensate him for the damage. The car owner also spoke highly of Tom for being an honest and responsible person. He said that he would do the same if he were Tom. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2015年广东高考英语听说考试真题 Test A Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读)  Today, Mars is a frozen world. The average temperature here is lower than at the Earth’s South Pole. But long ago, when water may have flowed here, it must have been warmer. We don’t know why Mars turned so cold, but perhaps it could be made to change once again. Could future generations somehow transform Mars, into an Earth-like world where people could live? What would life be like on Mars? Perhaps we could build farms and cities. Or perhaps we will leave Mars as we found it.

People on the street seemed to be in a rush and few stayed for their show. One cold night, very few people came as they expected, but they were happy that some people did enjoy the show. When everybody left, a boy came and gave them a note with a business card, saying “A man left this for you.” The band was surprised to see the note, because nobody had ever left any note for their performance before.

He left the park alone and decided to have a good talk with his wife that night. 195 Test D Part A Reading aloud (模仿朗读)     Two out of three of us now feed wild birds in our gardens, spending over 150 million pounds a year in the process. Yet a century ago, most of us did not even have gardens. We took little interest in the welfare of our feathered neighbors, and were more likely to eat a blackbird than feed it. And the very concept of garden birds was meaningless. The term hadn’t even been invented. Garden birds are creatures of our making.

The wet seasons bring downpours, but not to everywhere at once. These isolated rains mean that some animals have to run for thousands of miles in search of freshly grown grass. Grass, unlike other plants, grows from its roots instead of the tip. It means it can be almost constantly cropped — a never-ending supply of food. And as grass makes up over 50% of an elephant’s diet, it’s in their own interests to clear the trees and maintain space for grass to grow. 99 话题类型：自然类、植物类——大象的食物-草 字数：99 words 时长：60s 语速：99w/m 语音：英音 生词：3 downpour(倾盆大雨)，isolated(孤立的)，maintain(保持) 句子类型：中长句子较多，短句子少，生词多。 画面：视频每幕之间转换较快，每一幕停留时间较多，而且每一幕上文字较多，画面比较清楚，但是背景音乐衔接不好 与百朗听说风暴：与14下高一、高二的部分内容相同，尤其是“The winds that…grown grass.”与14下高二内容一致。 Part B Role Play (角色扮演) 情景介绍(30”) 角 色：你是Mary。 任 务：（1）和同学Tom谈论春节回家乡过年； （2）根据谈话内容回答另一同学的提问。 生 词：every household 家家户户 Tapescript: W: Happy New Year, Tom!

He dropped his book and rushed into the bathroom. “Mum, you didn’t put my trousers into the washing-machine, did you?” he asked. But it was too late. His mother told him that his trousers had been in the machine for 20 minutes already. Tom stopped the machine and pulled out his trousers as quickly as possible. He went through all the pockets looking for the note. At last, he managed to find the ten-pound note that had turned into a white piece of paper. To his great disappointment, the note had lost its color and might not be of any use. 参考复述 Tom is very forgetful and careless with his money.

She usually checks his trouser pockets before putting them in the washing machine, but this time she forgot. Tom was reading in another room, when suddenly he remembered he’d had a ten-pound note in his trouser pockets. He quickly ran to his mother and asked her if she’d put his trousers in the machine. She said she had put them in about twenty minutes before. Tom went to the machine and took his trousers out. He finally found the ten-pound note in the pocket of his trousers, but it had lost its color and looked like a piece of white paper. Tom was very disappointed. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
