Text 2 W: It says in the newspaper that the bus drivers are threatening to go on strike in England. M: It's not surprising. They go on strike every two or three years. What do they want this time? W: Less work, more pay. M: That sounds familiar. Text 3 M: Are you going to be a teacher after graduation? W: Of course. I've been dreaming about it for years. How about you? M: I'm not sure. My father wants me to be a translator. W: But don't you think it's tiring to translate all day long? Text 4 M: Do you think the weather will be all right for the Spring Festival? W: Yes, if we're lucky. But I think it'll be very cold anyway. M: Quite possibly. W: Have you got any plans for the festival? It's likely I'll just stay home and help mother with the cooking. M: Well, who knows. I might do anything. You know I always do things as it happens. Text 5 M: Will Mary be able to go to the party? W: Knowing her, she will. M: Good. Do you think she'll be able to dance? W: Well, her cold is much better. M: Is it? But I doubt it's that much better. Text 6 W: Do you mind if I take the day off tomorrow? M: I'd rather you didn't. There's an important meeting tomorrow. W: Sorry, but I wouldn't ask if I didn't feel I had to. My mother is ill and I have to take her to the hospital. M: Oh. Then certainly. W: Thank you. I'll certainly be back to work the day after tomorrow. Text 7 M: Hi, Wang. You like the weather here? W: Well, I'd like to live somewhere a little further north or south from here. M: Why? I personally think it's just right. W: Well, I find it too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. M: But if you live in the south or north, you will have either a much hotter summer or a much colder winter. W: But in the south, at least you have a warm winter. And in the north, summer is short and cool at night, while winter is not so bad with heating. Text 8 M: Oh, come in. W: I just dropped in to return these books. Are you getting dinner ready? Something smells good. M: Oh, I'm just preparing some noodles. W: I thought your wife did the cooking. M: She does, but she said she would come home late today. W: So you're the cook. What are you having with the noodles? M: Some cabbage and tomatoes. Why don't you stay and have dinner with us? W: Thanks, but not today. I have to hurry off. Maybe some other time. Text 9 M: Someone came late last night looking for you. I told him you were out and suggested that he leave a note, but he didn't. W: Late last night? That's strange. What did he look like? M: He seemed to be about thirty-five or somewhat older. Maybe forty or so. W: Was he tall or short? M: Mmm… He wasn't very tall nor very short. About average height, I think. W: Was he fat or thin? M: A bit on the thin side, if I remember correctly. Anyway, certainly not fat, but then he wasn't very thin either. W: Was there anything unusual about his looks? What kind of face did he have--round or square or long? M: Let me think… It was rather square, but not so very. Or was it? Really, I didn't notice. It was so late and the lighting wasn't good. W: Was he wearing glasses? M: Was he or wasn't he? I'm not sure now. You see, I was so tired and sleepy I didn't pay much attention. Text 10 　　M or W: Who doesn't love sitting beside a cozy fire on a cold winter's night? Who doesn't love to watch flames curling up a chimney? Fire is one's greatest friend but also one of the greatest enemies. Many big fires are caused by carelessness. A lighted cigarette thrown out of a car or train window or a broken bottle lying on dry grass can start a fire. Sometimes, though, a fire can start on its own. Wet hay can begin burning by itself. This is how it happens: the hay starts to rot and begins to give off heat which is trapped inside it. Finally, it bursts into flames. That's why farmers cut and store their hay when it's dry. Fires have destroyed whole cities. In the 17th century, a small fire which began in a baker's shop burnt down nearly every building in London. Moscow was set on fire during the war against Napoleon. This fire continued burning for seven days. And, of course, in 64 AD Rome burned! Even today, in spite of modem fire-fighting methods, fire causes millions of pounds' worth of damage each year both in our cities and in the countryside. It has been wisely said that fire is a good servant but a bad master.   練習冊系列答案 中考真題分類卷系列答案 中考智勝考典系列答案 中考總復習導與練系列答案 中考總復習優(yōu)化方案系列答案 中考最后一套卷系列答案 3年中考2年模擬系列答案 英語聽力模擬試題系列答案 藍皮系列分層強化訓練系列答案 高考命題與名校模擬系列答案 基礎章節(jié)總復習測試卷系列答案 年級 高中課程 年級 初中課程 高一 高一免費課程推薦！ 初一 初一免費課程推薦！ 高二 高二免費課程推薦！ 初二 初二免費課程推薦！ 高三 高三免費課程推薦！ 初三 初三免費課程推薦！ 更多初中、高中輔導課程推薦,點擊進入>> 相關習題 科目：高中英語 來源：聽力專項練習 題型：001 　　聽力部分（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分） 該部分分為第一第二兩節(jié) 注意：作題時，請先將答案劃在試卷上。該部分錄音內(nèi)容結束后，你將有兩分鐘的時間將你的答案轉涂到客觀題答題卡上。 第一節(jié)（共5小題；每小題1.5分，滿分7.5分） 聽下面5段對話。每段對話后有一個小題，從題中所給的A、B、C、三個選項中選出最佳選項，并標在試卷的相應位置。聽完每段對話后，你有10秒鐘的時間來回答有關小題和閱讀下一小題。每段對話僅讀一遍。 例如： How much is the shirt?

Text 1 W: Why did you go to the basketball game, Jim? M: I'm a real sports lover. Text 2 W: It says in the newspaper that the bus drivers are threatening to go on strike in England. M: It's not surprising. They go on strike every two or three years. What do they want this time? W: Less work, more pay. M: That sounds familiar. Text 3 M: Are you going to be a teacher after graduation? W: Of course. I've been dreaming about it for years. How about you? M: I'm not sure. My father wants me to be a translator. W: But don't you think it's tiring to translate all day long? Text 4 M: Do you think the weather will be all right for the Spring Festival? W: Yes, if we're lucky. But I think it'll be very cold anyway. M: Quite possibly. W: Have you got any plans for the festival? It's likely I'll just stay home and help mother with the cooking. M: Well, who knows. I might do anything. You know I always do things as it happens. Text 5 M: Will Mary be able to go to the party? W: Knowing her, she will. M: Good. Do you think she'll be able to dance? W: Well, her cold is much better. M: Is it? But I doubt it's that much better. Text 6 W: Do you mind if I take the day off tomorrow? M: I'd rather you didn't. There's an important meeting tomorrow. W: Sorry, but I wouldn't ask if I didn't feel I had to. My mother is ill and I have to take her to the hospital. M: Oh. Then certainly. W: Thank you. I'll certainly be back to work the day after tomorrow. Text 7 M: Hi, Wang. You like the weather here? W: Well, I'd like to live somewhere a little further north or south from here. M: Why? I personally think it's just right. W: Well, I find it too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. M: But if you live in the south or north, you will have either a much hotter summer or a much colder winter. W: But in the south, at least you have a warm winter. And in the north, summer is short and cool at night, while winter is not so bad with heating. Text 8 M: Oh, come in. W: I just dropped in to return these books. Are you getting dinner ready? Something smells good. M: Oh, I'm just preparing some noodles. W: I thought your wife did the cooking. M: She does, but she said she would come home late today. W: So you're the cook. What are you having with the noodles? M: Some cabbage and tomatoes. Why don't you stay and have dinner with us? W: Thanks, but not today. I have to hurry off. Maybe some other time. Text 9 M: Someone came late last night looking for you. I told him you were out and suggested that he leave a note, but he didn't. W: Late last night? That's strange. What did he look like? M: He seemed to be about thirty-five or somewhat older. Maybe forty or so. W: Was he tall or short? M: Mmm… He wasn't very tall nor very short. About average height, I think. W: Was he fat or thin? M: A bit on the thin side, if I remember correctly. Anyway, certainly not fat, but then he wasn't very thin either. W: Was there anything unusual about his looks? What kind of face did he have--round or square or long? M: Let me think… It was rather square, but not so very. Or was it? Really, I didn't notice. It was so late and the lighting wasn't good. W: Was he wearing glasses? M: Was he or wasn't he? I'm not sure now. You see, I was so tired and sleepy I didn't pay much attention. Text 10 　　M or W: Who doesn't love sitting beside a cozy fire on a cold winter's night? Who doesn't love to watch flames curling up a chimney? Fire is one's greatest friend but also one of the greatest enemies. Many big fires are caused by carelessness. A lighted cigarette thrown out of a car or train window or a broken bottle lying on dry grass can start a fire. Sometimes, though, a fire can start on its own. Wet hay can begin burning by itself. This is how it happens: the hay starts to rot and begins to give off heat which is trapped inside it. Finally, it bursts into flames. That's why farmers cut and store their hay when it's dry. Fires have destroyed whole cities. In the 17th century, a small fire which began in a baker's shop burnt down nearly every building in London. Moscow was set on fire during the war against Napoleon. This fire continued burning for seven days. And, of course, in 64 AD Rome burned! Even today, in spite of modem fire-fighting methods, fire causes millions of pounds' worth of damage each year both in our cities and in the countryside. It has been wisely said that fire is a good servant but a bad master.
