2012年高考广东省英语科听说考试真题（B） Part A Reading Aloud The absence or presence of water governs life on land. It determines where and how animals live. But falling rain is not always welcome. The power of water is immense. Once on land, it begins its journey back to the sea, carving its way through the earth. 65% of the human body is water. It is our absolute necessity. We cannot live without it. We need it for drinking, for bathing and to grow food. And we have gone to great lengths to get it to where we want it to be. Water, the giver of life, essential to all and forever sacred. Part B Role Play 情景介绍 角色: 你是Marry 任务：（1）与父亲谈论开车问题 （2）根据谈话内容回答同学问题。 1. 我为什么不能与朋友们一起开车？ 2. 我真的需要这些规则吗？ 3. 这些规则有什么用处？ W: Guess what, Dad?

Rule No.1: No driving with friends for the first six months. 学生问：Why can’t I drive together with my friends? 电脑答：Teenagers are not mature enough to drive carefully especially when they are driving together.

Ok, Rule No.3. You can’t drive long distances at night because you might keep sleepy and drive off the road. And Rule No.4. You should never use a mobile phone while driving. That could cause an accident. 学生问：What’s the use/good of these rules? 电脑答：Oh, that’s rule No.5 Remember that I love you. And I am just a loving father who wants his daughter to always be safe and the best dad in the world.

Part C Retelling 梗概：Tom生病住院时对烹饪产生了兴趣，出院后自学烹饪并以此帮助他人。 关键词：cooking（烹饪）；disease（疾病）；hospital（医院）；website（网站）；recipe（食谱） 录音原文 A Child Chef Tom began to learn cooking when he was 6 years old. At that time he suffered from a rare disease and was sent to a hospital. During the first three days there, Tom watched a lot of TV cartoons and felt bored with them. Then he visited the Internet for fun. He found a website teaching people how to cook. Tom was interested in the pictures of the website and fell in love with cooking. He told others that cooking helped him keep his mind off everything. Having recovered, Tom went back home and tried his best to learn to cook by himself. He spent most of his spare time learning to cook. He would not give up trying a recipe until he got it right. Now after five years of practice, Tom is famous as cook in his hometown and uses his cooking skills to raise money for other children suffering from the same rare disease. He has raised more than one hundred thousand dollars. He even has his own cook book, which includes more than sixty recipes for simple food. “Besides watching TV cartoons, children can also learn to cook by themselves.” said Tom.
