Yes, I did. I feel totally rested and I’m no w ready for our meeting.Text 2.M: We could go to a ball game this evening or would you rather eat in a restaurant and then see a film?W: To tell you the truth, I can’t really go anywhere this evening, because I’m expecting an important phone call.Text 3.W: Have you got any idea about what to buy for Mary’s birthday?M: Well, I’ll get her a new schoolbag, and I promise to take her to a film. What about you?W: Oh, I haven’t decided yet. I’ll probably buy her that new music record, as she likes it so much. Text 4.W: So, what do you usually do in your free time?M: At the moment I’m spending much of my free time learning German. I also enjoy playing the piano.W: Do you play any sports?M: Not much. But I go to the sports club and work out once a week.Text 5.M: Did you have a lot of friends when you were young?W: I didn’t really make any close friends then because I like going off in the morning. And I mean, this was on the school holidays: riding a bike away with a few books in the basket and finding a nice place to read.Text 6.M: Well, we’ll certainly stay here again next time we’re passing through.W: Good. Do let us know in advance and we’ll try to get you the same room.M: That would be lovely. It may be quite soon in fact.W: Oh? How is that?M: Well. We are driving to the South of Spain in the next couple of days and we may come back this way.W: Do give us a ring if you decide to. I hope you’ll have a pleasant trip.Text 7.M: Great! This supermarket has everythin g. I hope this comes to under 75 dollars because I don’t have much money left.W: That comes to 75 dollars and 5 cents.M: I knew it. I knew I’d be over.W: Well.

I’ll do the letters for you.M: Thank you very much, Janet. You’re so kind.Text 9.M: Customer Service. Andney Grant speaking. How may I help you?W: I can’t believe this is happening.

I was planning to use that bag during our vacation in Mexico, but it doesn’t seem possible any more because we will take off on Saturday. It’s only two days away. What am I supposed to do?M: I’m really sorry, madam. I’ll check right away. Would you please tell me your order number? W: It’s CE2938.M: Just a minute. I do apologize, madam.

I hope you will a wonderful vacation.Text 10.M: Juliet, you chose not to go to college. Why? Was it about money?W: Well. I don’t want to sit here and say I was too poor to go to college. But the fact is that w e didn’t have the money, though my mum probably could have made enough somehow. I probably could have worked harder at school and gotten better grades, so, it is really, I didn’t get to go to college. I had a wish to go back to school every other week. It wasn’t just my path.M: At the time did you feel that you were missing something?W: My best friend went off to university and I just remember every time I talk to her. It all sounded so fun and so great. Here I was selling tennis shoes and getting on the bus every day to work in town. We both thought the other’s life was so much more exciting. I was trying hard to make enough to pay for my own flat every month and that seemed so exciting to her. And she would talk about studying for finals, and going to parties, and I thought, God, she is so perfect.2005年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(全国一)答案1-5:BACBC 6-10:ABABC 11-15:ACABA 16-20:ACBBC听力原文Text 1W: Very nice skirts.

I spent three hours on it.M: By the way, what time did you go home?W: I left the office at nine o'clock. I got home at ten.M: What did have for dinner?W: I sent out for a sandwich and ate at my desk.Text 7M: Fikky, what's going on? Freggis just told me that you're going to be leaving us.W: Yes, I really feel bad out of it. But B. N. D. came up with really good offer.M: Well, I didn't know you were going to look for a new job.W: Well, just between you and me. I think we have some real problems in this department. Don't get me wrong. It has nothing to do with you, Frank. Everybody says you are an excellent manager. M: Problems, what problems? Do we have time to talk about it?Text 8W: You know I just finished some very interesting research for the newspaper about things people do in their spare time.M: Really? What did you learn?W: Well, I talked to 20 people and 19 of them watch TV.M: That's interesting. I never watch it, do you?W: Not much.

I think San Francisco is probably the most exciting city in the U-S.W: So do I. No other city has as many good restaurants or as much good music.M: Is San Francisco your hometown?W:I am from a very small town in Pennsylvania. I wouldn't want to live there again, either. I don't like to live in a small town very much.M: Neither do I. But small towns have their advantages: less traffic —W: And friendlier people. You know, I'm beginning to feel homesick. By the way, where are your from?M: China.W: China? But you speak English like a native speaker. I didn't have any idea.M: Oh, excuse me. It's time for my flight. Well, it's been nice talking with you.W: You, too. Bye!Text 10M: Could you suggest some ways to bring family members closer together?W: Well, I feel it is very important for families to have regular meals together. One of my good childhood memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. Because my husband and I both worked and our three children were busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First we tried setting fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea that everyone told his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see the evenings together as interesting and helpful. We loved a lot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other’ s problems. After a couple of months anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now we all feel than we have been able to build stronger relationships within the family that we had before.2006年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(全国一)全国卷I卷高考英语听力录音原文答案1-5 B C A A C 6-10 C A A C A11-15 B B A B B 16-20 C A B B C(Text 1)M: How much are the tickets?W: There are 15 pounds each, but student tickets are half price.M: Could I have two students’ tickets please?(Text 2)M: Excuse me.

The thing that I want to tell you today is this: education is important. When I came to the U.S., I was only thinking about being a carpenter, but I could not read the newspaper and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this, so I entered the city college to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you are 15 years old in my country, you finish school and then you learn a trade. And that’s exactly what I did. When I was 15 years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later, I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes and history classes and I became a full-time college student. And today when I look back, I ’m so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden, I started making money, because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which 4. B9. C 14. A 3. C 8. B 13. A 7. A 12. Bis doing really well.1.

First let’s deal with the importance of exercise. Many people today live a kind of lazy life, sitting in the office all day and then watching TV the whole evening. I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you this way of life is bad for your health. In fact it can lead to all kinds of health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure and some of the problems can result in death. Now let me talk a little about preventing illness. Probably the most important thing to bear in mind is to be active. This does not mean that you have to go out and play sports. Of course sports are an excellent way to stay healthy but it’s also important to remember that healthy activities can take many different forms like gardening and doing housework, for example. Now let me suggest some ways of doing exercise. In the first place, you should choose an activity that you enjoy and one you’ll stick with and then start exercising slowly and try to increase the amount of exercise step by step. Well, that’s all I have time for today, so until next time. Good-bye.Part I Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear six conversations between two speakers.

One of my good childhood memories was dinner with my parents and two sisters. Because my husband and I both worked and our three children were busy with their studies, we seldom had a chance to get together as a family. But we thought it would be possible for us to sit down and enjoy meals together every week. First we tried setting fixed days: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. But almost everyone was unhappy. Then my son had the idea that everyone told his or her most convenient days and I would choose the two best days. For a while the children were still unhappy with the idea. They said they would rather spend the time with their friends playing sports. Gradually, though, they began to see the evenings together as interesting and helpful. We loved a l ot. We made plans for trips. We discussed each other’ s problems. After a couple of months anyone who had to miss a family meal felt regretful. And now we all feel than we havebeen able to build stronger relationships within the family that we had before.。
