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.

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.

What’s he doing these days?M: He said he’s got a new job as an art reporter.(Text 5)W: Do you often go to the student union, Andrew?M: Pretty much. Once in a while I meet friends there, and I spend a lot of time organizing activities in different clubs or associations.(Text 6)W: What do you think, Terry?M: Well, it has one more bedroom than the last flat and the sitting room is big.W: But there is not enough cupboard space in the kitchen.M: It’s cheaper than the last one we saw and it is in a good neighborhood.W: Well, maybe we’ll have to see if the agent has anything else to show us.(Text 7)M: Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, for what you’ve shared with our listeners.

After she graduated from medical school, she went to volunteer medical service in Africa.M: Wow!W: That’s okay if communication was fine.

And to answer your question, life hasbeen treating me excellently.W: Can I ask you about your childhood? Were you a bookish child?M: In a strange way, I was a non-reader until I turned nine. I used to play basketball in the schoolyards of Brooklyn. My father was a high school teacher of physics and chemistry. And he was a big reader. He would bring books back from his high school library. One day, I read the last chapter of a book, the title of which I’ve long since forgotten. I liked it so much that I started reading the remainder. Interestingly, I read the chapters backwards until I got to the beginning. I really loved the experience, and I soon became an eager reader. Then my father would bring piles of books home from the library. And I would read them all, and they were all fiction. I must add that I started reading the books from the start, as opposed to working backwards.(Text 10)M: Hello, I’m Maxim Vengerov, and I’m very happy to share with you my connection with open Tchaikovsky competition. It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow to participate in open Tchaikovsky competition at the age of 10 from Chelyabinsk. This was actually the turning point of my life. Then I attended a world music festival in Berlin. And it was interesting to say that a kid made his breakthrough already at the age of 10. And that was me. Now as a judge of the competition, I can see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in the competition. Where elsecan you see young players playing within ten days classical works and Russian traditional music before coming to the final stage? As a musician, it’s important to give maximum attention and time to your own reflections of your own feelings. So, what I’m really looking for in the competition is to meet someone who can touch me musically. I want to see the seed, at least the seed of the great tree that can grow. I would go for this violinist. I would go for this musician.。

Scientists have been warning about the dangers of global warming for decades. The rise in Earth's average temperature has led to more frequent and severe weather events, such as hurricanes and droughts. It is important that we take immediate action to reduce our carbonemissions and protect our planet.III. MonologueGood morning, everyone. Today, I'm going to talk about the benefits of regular exercise. Regular exercise has many positive effects on both our physical and mental well-being. It helps to strengthen our muscles, increase our endurance, and improve our overall fitness levels. In addition, exercise stimulates the production of endorphins, which are known as "feel-good" hormones, helping to reduce stress and improve our mood. Therefore, it is crucial that we make exercise a part of our daily routine.。

As most of you know, I'm here today to talk about blood transfusion. The idea of a blood transfusion is very simple, but that idea has saved many thousands of lives over the past century. Often, if a person is in an accident, or has an operation, he will lose a lot of blood. And these are the times when the blood transfusion is needed. This simply means taking blood from another person and putting it into the body of the patient. Doctors have been carrying out blood transfusions for hundreds of years. At first, they used blood from sheep. But that wasn't very successful. It wasn't until the last century that doctors realized there are several types of blood, and that the correct type must always be used. Once they knew that, blood transfusions had become almost a hundred percent successful. So, you might be thinking, what does this have to do with me? Well, it has something to do with all of us. Hospitals need to keep banks of blood ready for transfusions. The only way they can get that blood is from ordinary people like you. Every human body has 5 liters of blood, and we take 0.5 liters from each person. This is completely safe. In fact, your body will make enough blood to replace it after a round day. Giving blood only takes a short while, and it doesn't hurt. It costs you nothing, and it could save a life. So please give blood.2007年高考试题——英语听力（湖北卷）原文2008年高考试题——英语听力（湖北卷）原文Text 1.M: Excuse me.

The witness heard her saying, “Oh, my gold tooth…”Text 10.In my spoken English class, I asked the students about their impressions of their university life. To my surprise, many of them expressed disappointment. After their highly controlled high school lives, they were having difficulty adjusting to the free time in the university. When I asked them to describe theirhigh school lives, many of them told me they got up at six in the morning and studied until ten at night. Most of this time was spent at school, doing piles of homework to help them prepare for the university entrance exams.Once they entered the university, in my opinion, the students are not expected to devote all their waiting hours to studying, they should also take an active part in social activities. Therefore, they should learn to divide their time outside of the class between sports and clubs. What’s more, they should spend some time watching TV and chatting with their roommates. These activities are useful in helping them prepare for their future. But what struck me most was that many of them did not seem particularly happy about their new found freedom. As they had so many choices, they felt that no matter what they were doing, they should be doing something else. That’s why they were not happy.To those students, my advice was, get used to it and learn to make decisions for yourselves.2009年高考试题——英语听力（湖北卷）原文1M: Shall we go for a walk, Julie?W: Is it warm outside?M: No, you need a coat.W: Well, I think I’ll stay at home, then.2.M: I’d like a coffee.

You can really save some money that way.W: Well, what do you have?M: Well, let’s see. I have a science book, called “Today’s World”. And I’m selling it for 30 dollars.W: 30? That’s too expensive for a broken book like that.M: Maybe so, but I bought it for 60, and I wrote a lot of notes in the book. That should help you with the class if you could read my writing.W: What else are you selling?M: OK.
