【原文】
Hello, everyone. Today I’d like to share with you the celebration of Janice’s birthday. Janice was turning 21
years old. Originally, she wanted to go to Las Vegas to celebrate. A lot of people go there for their 21st birthday
because in the United States you can legally drink at 21. However, Janice decided not to go because she wanted to
save money to buy a new car. Janice decided that she just wanted to go to a nice restaurant with her friends. Janice’s
birthday was on a Tuesday. When she and her friend Austin met up at work, she thought he would wish her a happy
birthday, but he didn’t. Austin had known her for years and he would always remember her birthday. Janice tried to
remind him indirectly. “I wonder what day today is,” she said. “Just a Tuesday, nothing special.” Janice was upset,
ignoring him during work. When Janice got home after work, her friend Liza called her and asked her to open the
door. “I don’t want to go out anymore,” Janice said. “Can you just open the door? We’re already here,” Liza said.
Janice opened the door. “Surprise!” her friends yelled. There was a lovely pet dog in Kate’s arms.

【答案】5．C 6．C 7．A
【原文】
More and more people today are going back to school as older adults. Why are people doing this? The main
reason is that they aren’t satisfied with their present careers. Maybe they are tired of their busy, stressful life in
business and want to be a teacher — a job that helps others. Maybe they want to make more money. Or maybe they
want to try something new. To make these changes in careers, they have to return to school to study a different
major or get more education in the field they’re already in. But what are the difficulties of this decision? Well,
firstly, it costs a lot of money to pay for school per year. They need work to pay for everyday costs of housing,
food, clothing, and entertainments, so many people don’t have enough time. Most people cannot quit their jobs and
give school their full attention, so they must take classes at night and find time to study when they can. Finally,
going back to school after not being a student for so long might be more work than most people think. But to most
of these students, it’s all worth it!

11．What is the news mainly about?

【答案】8．C 9．C 10．A 11．A
【原文】
SpaceX has launched the world’s first crew of “amateur astronauts”on a private flight to circle Earth for three
days. Wednesday night’s successful launch marked the most ambitious increase in space tourism. It’s the first time a
rocket flew into space with a crew that contained no professional astronauts. Leading the flight is Jared Isaacman,38, who made his fortune with a payment-processing company he started in his teens.
Isaacman is joined by Hayley Arceneaux, 29, a childhood cancer survivor who works as a physician assistant
at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Isaacman has donated $ 100m of his own money
to the hospital and is seeking another $ 100m in donations. Along for the ride are Chris Sembroski, 42, a data
engineer in Everett, Washington, and Sian Proctor, 51, a community college educator in Tempe, Arizona. The
passengers will spend three days orbiting Earth at an unusually high altitude of 357 miles-100 miles higher than the
International Space Station-before falling down off the Florida coast this weekend.

W: Good morning, students. We have an important announcement to make this morning. Mr. Jenkins, your
physical education teacher, will be leaving us after 25 years at Evergreen High School. Together, we have shared
many great memories here, and he is a big part of our school’s history. He led the boys’ basketball team to a
championship the last two years and has also helped out with other sports programs. Although we are sad to see
him go, we are happy for him, too. He has been a fantastic coach, a teacher, and more importantly, a good friend.
He has told us that this decision has been very hard for him. However, his mother has become ill, and it is the right
decision for his family. Unfortunately, Mr. Jenkins will not be able to end the year with us, as he is traveling back to
his hometown this Friday. This means we won’t have time for a proper goodbye celebration, but we hope you will
all visit him before he leaves. And finally, to show respect for our good friend, we will be naming the gymnasium
“Jenkins’ Gym” at the end of the month. Taking over his duties until summer vacation will be our math teacher, Mr.
Ryan. We also have a goodbye card you can sign at the office. Thank you for your attention and have a good day.

19．When is the talk probably taking place?
A．In the late spring. B．In mid-summer. C．In the early winter.
20．What does the speaker think will happen?
A．Decrease of tourists. B．Recovery of the country. C．Slowdown in economic growth.

22．What is the most important for tourism businesses according to the speaker?
A．Hiring new workers. B．Increasing borrowing. C．Raising investment in advertising.
【答案】19．A 20．B 21．C 22．B
【原文】 The last few years have been difficult for our country’s tourism industry. Not just here in
Spain, but in the entire world. We missed an increase in our economy during Christmas and New Year’s several
months ago. And currently, we are not even close to our regular travel rates during the spring. That’s why we’re
starting our travel program now to prepare ourselves for the summer months coming soon.
I’ve talked to many workers in tourism. Hotel owners, bar servers, tour guides, and all else in this industry have
suffered. But now, most of the world is opening again for travel. Soon, not only do I expect tourism in our country
to increase heavily, but I believe this will help our country to recover fully!
So, along with other top government leaders in my group, we plan to offer practical assistance for tourism
businesses. We’ll spend more money on advertising for Spanish tourism around Europe. And we are also
considering increasing borrowing for businesses, which is the most important thing. Hopefully, companies can
clean and fix their places while hiring staff before the summer tourist season. Before COVID-19, Spain was one of
the world’s most visited countries. With our plans, we’ll return to this previous success!7.（2023·辽宁·沈阳二中校考模拟预测）

23．When did Google come out with Google Home?
A．In 2016. B．In 2015. C．In 2017.
24．How many songs does Google’s product have?
A．35 million. B．2 million. C．2.5 million.
25．Which product is aimed at young children?
A．Amazon Echo. B．Google Home. C．Mattel’s Aristotle.
26．What is typical of the Mattel’s Aristotle?
A．The lowest price. B．The earliest product. C．The best interaction.
【答案】23．A 24．A 25．C 26．C
【原文】
In 2014, Amazon released the world’s first voice-controlled "smart assistant, called the Echo. It performed a
variety of functions, including setting alarms, creating to-do lists, and providing real-time information such as
weather, traffic and other news. Two years later, Google came out with the $180 Google Home. In 2017, the toy
company Mattel came out with Aristotle, their idea of a personal assistant, aimed at kids. If you are in the market
for one of these smart assistants, there are a number of things to consider. For instance, Google Home can answer a
wide variety of questions and has a music library of 35 million songs. It also has many functions that work well
with the TV, and is $50 cheaper than Amazon Echo. Echo can all be operated just by voice command. It has a music
library of 2 million songs. Mattel’s Aristotle can do most of what the other two can, but is meant to be more of a
personal companion to children. It can be used as a baby camera in your child’s early years, and still be useful until
around middle school. It plays interactive games with them, reads to them, and serves as an instructional resource
as the children grow up. In summary, all three have their benefits.

【原文】M: Winter storms have brought heavy snow and record low temperatures in some areas. Recent snow showers
blew in from the Gulf of Alaska and covered parts of Washington and Oregon, where state officials have declared
an emergency. The Seattle area got up to 6 inches of snow. Its low of 20 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday broke the
previous low for the day set in 1948. Bellingham hit a low of 9 — three degrees below the 1971 record for the day.
Washington and Oregon reported about 5,000 houses without power on Monday. An early Tuesday report said more
than 2,000 houses in Oregon still had no electricity. In Nevada, freezing temperatures and blinding snow caused
traffic jams and forced Sierra Nevada highway passes to close. Heavy snow also blocked the state road connecting
Tahoe City to ski resorts in Olympic Valley.

B．It does harm to people’s health.
C．It helps us to recover quickly.
【答案】34．B 35．A 36．B
【原文】
We people are easy targets for flu in every season. It makes us wonder why we can’t find a way to totally get
rid of it? The answer is that there’re actually hundreds of kinds of viruses around us. We can’t see and touch them,
and we never know which one we will get infected with, so it’s impossible to find a cure for each one. When a virus
attacks our body, it’s hard to detach ourselves from it. We will feel awful because we can’t breathe well. The virus
raises temperature of our bodies, and makes us get flu. But the heat of our body is killing the virus at the same time.
Besides, we may also have a sore throat or a runny nose to prevent the virus from invading our cells. Different
people have different symptoms. In China, some people might eat nutritious food to improve their health and
fitness, some people only take hot baths and drink warm water, and some people take medicines. However, there’s
one interesting thing to notice. Some experts say taking medicines when we have flu is harmful to our health. The
reason why the virus stays in our body longer is that our body can’t develop a way to fight against and kill it.

【答案】41．C 42．B 43．C 44．A
【原文】 M: I’m quite often asked how I became a dress designer. For me, it was something I always
wanted to do. However, because my mother was a university teacher and my father a doctor, they found it hard to
accept that designing clothes could be a serious job.
Anyway, they said I had to do a year’s business course first after high school. I didn’t like it at the time, but later,
it made a big difference to me. And the other thing I did during that year was to get a part-time job in the office of a
small factory making good quality clothes.
Then I did two years at the local art college. I wanted to go to London straight away, but my parents insisted. So I
stayed at home until I won a prize for a design which actually gave me a place at a London college for nine months.
I went on to spend three wonderful years in Milan. Then I got the job in New York for a year, which was really
exciting, but unbelievably stressful. I think it is probably because I was too far away from my family and missed
them very much. So, I ended up in London, starting my own company.

【原文】
W: Welcome to Student Life! Today we’re going to talk about setting up a project of student jobs in your
school.Having students do different jobs around the school is a great way to prepare them for life in the real world.
It encourages them to be responsible and also helps them learn new tasks and gain experience. However, it’s
important to get students excited about the project, so the first thing you should do is let students know this project.
Get the headmaster to make an announcement explaining the project. OK? Then decide on the jobs you want and
write out the descriptions of the skills and responsibilities needed for each position. Some typical jobs are
Classroom Assistants,Recycling Officers and Computer Assistants. Next, ask students to apply for the jobs.
Students should be encouraged to write letters of application for the job they are interested in. This is a great way to
practice letter writing skills! And don’t forget, you should make sure that students are guided by a teacher so that
they take their responsibilities seriously. A committee then reviews all the applications and gives jobs to the most
suitable applicants. Finally, it’s important to get opinions from the students about the project, to find out which jobs
are successful and which don’t go so well.

Hi, there, everybody, I’m Jane Smith and welcome to Animal World. Before you start your visit, I’d like to tell
you about a few special events happening here today. The first event is called The World of Ants, and it’s happening
this morning quite soon in the Insect House. Dr. David Crocker is giving a lecture all about ants—the different
types of ants, how they organize themselves, what they eat, their behavior and so on. It’s from 11 o’clock to 12
o’clock. At midday, that’s 12 o’clock, there’s a film which is just as fascinating, called The Great Migration. This
is all about birds and how they move across continents and oceans. As I said, it’s a film which all the family will
enjoy, and it’s on in Theater C, which you can see here just behind me, just a little farther down the hall past
Theater A and Theater B—so bear that in mind for 12 o’ clock. It will last 45 minutes. The next event is called
Encouraging Garden Wildlife and will take place in the Exhibition Room with Monica Chaddha. Monica will be
showing you ways of encouraging animals, birds, and other wildlife to visit and live in your garden, how to place
boxes for nests, what food to put out for them and all sorts of practical advice. That’s at 2:30, so just after lunch,
and will last half an hour.

Today, I’ll share the amazing story of Mahatma Gandhi. This man is known as the father of India. We’re here
to tour his house, which is now a museum about his life. So many articles have been written about this place. It was
even filmed in an award-winning movie called Gandhi.
Together, we’ll visit all the rooms here. But first, I’ll explain some basics about Gandhi’s life. First, Gandhi
grew up in the late 1800s in India. At the time, Great Britain ruled India, and the country was quite poor. But
Gandhi grew up in a rich family. He had a peaceful childhood with many opportunities. Still, Gandhi gave up
everything he had to fight for his people. But his style of fighting for his beliefs was unique. Gandhi’s primary
belief was peace, and he inspired followers to respect this belief. He would never fight back, even when others
fought against him and his followers. My biggest lesson from Gandhi’s creation of modern India was the power of
forgiveness. Now, we’ll start our museum tour.1.（2023·新高考I卷高考真题）

M: Hello, I’m Maxim Vengarov, 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 inBerlin. 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 else can 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.

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 breakthroughalready 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 else can 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.

W: Welcome to Star Fitness Club. I’m Tina Harrison. Before you start, I’d like to offer you some tips. We all
know that regular exercise is important, but few of us know how to exercise properly. I’ve seen many people make
the same workout mistakes in this place. One mistake people often make is sticking to the same routine. It is not
good for building up your muscles. I’d like to suggest that you change your routine every other month. What’s
more, you can try different kinds of workouts, such as jogging, biking, or swimming. This can help keep your
whole body in shape. Another mistake most people make is to workout intensely almost every day. You need to
give your body a break, and allow time for the muscles to grow. It is not the harder the better. Two hard workout
days every week is enough. If you really hate to skip a day, you can plan easy exercises on other days. However,
experts’ suggestion is that you take one day off completely each week.

【原文】W: Hi, everyone. This is the monthly meeting of our club. We’ve been fortunate to have got good advice
from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today, we’ll hear something
different. We’re honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the
University of British Columbia. Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby
team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. Emma says it’s challenging to be a health expert,
because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren’t willing
to change their views about food and nutrition as there is so much confusing information online. It’s reallyimportant to hear what experts say, and that’s why we’ve invited Emma here. She isn’t going to tell us about
everything we should eat. But, she will teach us to make better choices. Let’s welcome Emma Wilson.

82．What do most people think is very important in spoken communication?
A．Pronunciation. B．Vocabulary. C．Grammar.
83．Why should you listen to experts according to the speaker?
A．To develop your reading fluency.
B．To improve your note-taking skills.

A．Spell out the difficult words.
B．Check the words in a dictionary.
C．Practice reading the words aloud.
【答案】82．B 83．C 84．C
【原文】W: Hello, everyone. Today I’ll talk about how to improve your pronunciation. Language researchers say
pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers, followed by grammar, in effective spoken English. However,
most people don’t regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills. They’re more focused on
vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations. So it’s important to first
find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts, by experts, I mean those who are less likely to
make pronunciation mistakes. When listening to them, pay attention to words that sound strange, strange because
you pronounce the same words differently. When you come across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their
exact pronunciations. You can also search for difficult-to-pronounce words and names, and make a list of them. The
last suggestion is to read aloud. Now you’ve got the correct pronunciations of the words, it's time to practice
reading them every day.

【答案】85．A 86．B 87．B
【原文】W: Talking about personal relationships. Well, I’d naturally think of my relationship with my mother.
Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as
I'm confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we
were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything
she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I
respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She gives me the freedom to make
mistakes and to learn from them all. Unlike friendships that can fade or break, I know I’ll always be connected to
my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but someone I love.

【答案】88．B 89．A 90．A 91．C
【原文】
M: Hello, I'm Jeff Anderson from Coventry, England. And in today’s program, I'd like to share with you
a special kind of English culture -the football. A lot of people in England are crazy about football.
During the football season, whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams, such as
Liverpool and Newcastle are hung outside every window or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves
There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air.
Groups of young men crowd into dark packed pubs, staring at television screens. Of course, they are
covered head to toe in the colors of their team. They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses
a goal or with joy when there is a moment of success. You do not have to be a fan of football to get
caught up in the excitement, as far as victories are concerned. England had its big moment in 1966 in
Wimbledon Stadium.The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans
Now, whenever England is playing a big match, red and white covers every inch of every pub a
symbol of hope-the English flag.While football has never been something I’m particularly interested in.
For years, I’ve had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support. You cannot say you don't like or
do not follow football in England, as often this will lead to a long dialogue in which someone will begin
telling you why you should support their team.
