高考英语听力材料原文
刚接触新内容的`时候,你会听得非常模糊,有很多声音抓不住,因此无法记住。所以英语力第一个阶段的训练就是“模糊的听”。为了帮助大家,我分享了一些英语听力材料,希望能帮到大家!
(Text 1)
W: What a memory I have! I did write down the mobile number on a sheet of paper when I answered the phone this morning, even that Mr. Smith’s email address, and now it is nowhere to be found!
M: Don’t worry. I’ll be seeing him in an hour. I can ask him for his email address when I see him.
W: That’s very kind of you, Mr. Baker.
(Text 2)
W: This machine has so many buttons. I can’t figure out which one makes it.
M: Well, you’d better read the instructions first. Pressing the buttons improperly may cause the machine to break down.
W: Oh, I see.
(Text 3)
M: What’s the best way to downtown?
W: If you’re in a hurry, you should take a taxi. But it’s kind of expensive.
M: I’m in no particular hurry.
W: Well, in that case, take an airport bus then. It will cost you only about $5.
M: That cannot be a better idea.
(Text 4)
W: Jack, have you got the book I asked you to borrow the other day?
M: Sorry, I haven’t.
W: How come?
M: I couldn’t find time to go to the library.
(Text 5)
W: Could you do me a real favor, please?
M: Yes, of course.
W: I’ve arranged to meet my friend Tony, but I’m really engaged now. I was wondering if you could go along and meet him for me.
M: Oh, yes, certainly!
(Text 6)
M: Can I help you?
W: Yes, well, I bought this tie last week for my husband’s birthday, and er...well he doesn’t like it. Could I change it for something else, such as a shirt or a hat?
M: Certainly, madam, provided that it hasn’t been worn, and if you have the receipt.
W: Yes, here it is.
M: OK, er... this tie looks as if it were worn. I’m afraid I can’t put that back on the shelf.
W: Oh, that’s a pity.
(Text 7)
M: Morning, Sue. Did you enjoy your holiday in the country?
W: Yes, thanks. We had a great time. And some friends went with us.
M: Where did you stay? In a hotel?
W: No. We camped in the mountains, near Snowtown. We cooked all our meals over an open fire.
M: Sounds wonderful. Was the weather good?
W: The sun shone nearly every day and it didn’t rain at all.
M: Did you like the people there?
W: Yes, they were great. We met some farmers and had tea in their houses.
M: When did you get back? Last night?
W: No, this morning. You’ll think we were mad. We got up at 4:30, left at 5 and arrived here at 9.I’m so tired. What about you? Did you have a good weekend?
M: Yes, but I didn’t do much. I just stayed at home. The weather was terrible.
(Text 8)
M: You see the list of books for this course?
W: Yes, Dr. Downs said he expects us to have the first five on the list. He is going to discuss them in detail.
M: Are you going to buy them?
W:I don’t know. These books are expensive. And I don’t have a lot of money on me.
M: How about sharing them with me?
W: Sounds good.
M: Let’s do this. I will buy three and you buy two of them.
W:I would rather do it this way: we pay fifty-fifty for the books now. And at the end of the course you can take the books you find more interesting and I will take the ones I like.
M: What if we both like the same books?
W: Come on, we are not going to argue over that, are we?
M:I was just joking. It’s definitely a better idea.
W: Then let’s get the books as soon as possible.
(Text 9)
M: Oh, no! I’m supposed to meet her at seven sharp. What time is it now?
W: Six thirty.
M: I’d better get ready.
W: Where are you going?
M: Haven’t made up our minds yet. Maybe to a restaurant, or perhaps to the movies first.
W: Why don’t you go and see Citizen Kane at the Classic Film Festival? It’s supposed to be great.
M: Oh, maybe we will. Psycho is also playing. I’ve heard it’s really good, too.
W: If you like horror films with lots of blood. Personally I don’t. Well, I really should be going. Do you want to go swimming tomorrow?
M: I’d be glad to, but I might have to go to the studio and do some work. Can I let you know the first thing in the morning?
W: Sure. That’ll be fine.
M: Oh, there’s the phone. It must be Tracy.
W : Well, I’d better be going then. Have a good time tonight.
M: Thanks. I’ll ta lk to you tomorrow.
(Text 10)
Everybody here is very kind to me, but there are times when I think of home and get rather sad. I sometimes get a little tired of English coo king. Once a week I go to Soho. Soho is a part of London where there are all sorts of restaurants, French, Italian, Greek, Spanish, Indian, and Chinese. So when I’m tired of English cooking, I go to one of the Soho restaurants. Sometimes I even have a bottle of wine! Wine isn’t cheap in England. It isn’t something we drink every day.
English people do not talk as much as we do. I’ve often traveled by train and nobody has spoken to me during the journeys. I know one Englishman who is unusual, he speaks seven languages. He can also be silent in seven languages! But I’ve found one way to make him talk. He’s interested in mountain climbing. If I ask him about climbing, he’s a lways ready to talk.
1.W:Excuse me,where is the Bell Museum?
M:Oh,it's not far away from here.You can walk.
W:Yes?
M:Go straight along this road.Then turn left...No,right.Turn right at the first turning.
W:Turn right?
M:Yes,Keep walking till the crossroads,then turn left .You'll see a theatre on the righ
W:A theatr
M:Yes.Beside the theatre,there is a side street.
W:Do I take the street?
M:Right.Walk to the end of the street and turn left again.
Then you'll see a church on the left.Next to the church is the museum.
W:Oh,this is not easy.I'll try.
M:Good luck.
W:Thank you very much.
M:You'll welcome.
2.M:Hi,Jane.It's nice to see you again.I heard that you went to the U.S.during the vacation.
W:Yes,I went to New York to attend a summer course in English.
M:Wow.You were lucky.How long did you stay there?
W:About 50 days.I went there on July 5th and came back on August 25th.
M:Where did you live in New York?
W:Oh,I lived with an American family,the Smiths.
They were very kind people.Shortly after I arrived,we became good friends.
And,living in their house,I could speak English with them every day.
Besides,I didn't need to worry about my daily three meals.
They looked after that .
M:How nice!And how about the course?
W:The course was also very good.The teachers were nice.
They taught us to listen,speak,read and write in English,but it was mostly speaking.
One interesting I found was that the American classes are different from our classes here because they are very free.
You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom.
You can ask the teacher questions at any time during the class.
And you are welcome to share your ideas with the class.I really like this kind of class.
M:How interesting!Maybe our teacher should try that.
3.M:Well,Stella?Why do you look unhappy?
W:Oh,Bill,I have just had a quarrel with Mr.Philips.
W:Mr.Philips!What on earth was it about?
W:Well,I have made three bad mistakes so far this week.
Today I forgot to give him an important message,so he got really angry with me.
M:But I don't understand.You are usually very careful and never make mistakes.
W:I'm just so tired.I don't know what I'm doing.
M:Why?Have you been going to bed late these days?
W:No.I'm usually in bed at about eleven.But I've been woken up at half past four every morning.
And then I can't go back to sleep again.
M:Why?
W:It's my new neighbor,the milkman next door.
He has to get up at half past four and he always turns te radio on loud.
M:Ask him to turn it down then.
W:It's difficult.I don't know him yet.
M:If you don't want to see him,write him a letter.
W:Do you think it's good idea?
M:Yes,I do.I'll help you with the letter.
W:OK.Let's try.
4.W:Can I talk to you for a moment,Tom?
M:Of course,Julia.Sit down.What is it?
W:I've decided to leave.
M:Leave?
W:Yes?
M:Oh,no.Is it because we're moving out of London?
W:Well,yes.But there are other reasons.
M:I see.You've never liked working here.
W:No,no.I've enjoyed working here,but...
M:But what?
W:Well,I haven't had time for other things.
I've worked here for four years.And I'd like to do something different.
M:What do you mean,something different?
W:I want to travel.You know,I have never been to other countries.
M:Haven't you?
W:No,I haven't.I want to live abroad and learn to speak a different language.
M:Well,what can I say?I'm really sorry.But I understand.
W:Thank you Tom.
5.Good morning,Ladies and Gentleman.
Welcome to our school.My name is Andrew Brown.
I am a history teacher.I'll give you a quick introduction to the school before I show you around.
Our school is called a "free school".That means that the pupils are free to choose what and how they want to learn.
The school opens at 9a.m.,but the children can arrive when they like.
Most of them are in school by ten.
Between nine and ten most people are in the living room and the kitchen downstairs.
Some of the children haven't had much breakfast,so there is a lot of eating,tea_drinking and talking.
This is a time when children and teachers can work out what they are to do for the day.
Now if you look through the door of that big room you will see those children reading and drawing there.
Some have chosen to do maths.They are on the third floor with Miss Green.
Four of the older boys are now on the way to the Cardrome to have their driving lessons.
Several children are in the kitchen helping Miss Cabell with lunch.
The children take turns doing this.They all enjoy doing it.
After lunch it's someone else's job to do the washing-up.
This job is unpopular and not many of them like to do it.
After lunch the children go on with what they've been doing until 4:30.
On Monday and Thursdays the school is also open in the evenings until 9:00p.m..
On Wednesday afternoon there is a school meeting.
On Friday we sometimes take the children to a cinema or a museum.
The school is also open every weekend for those children who want to come.
6.Good morning everybody.My topic for today is "Early Money."
I'm going to tell you something about money used in the early days.
To be honest,we know little about how early people came to use money,but we do know some of the things which have been used as money.
In some parts of Asia,tea was used for money.The American Indians used nuts and other things.
Perhaps the mos common money of all was an animal found some places today,cows are still used as a kink of money.
So you see,things highly valued by everybody may serve as money.
The Chinese were the first people to use coins as money.
Oh,sorry,you don't know the word?Well,it is spelled C-O-I-N.
Here are some coins of the past.You can come over and have a look.
阿里嘎多~
在很长一段时间内,我所选的听力资料将会是VOA的Special级别的慢速英语。这主要是出于两个目的:一是打好基本功;二是从慢速英语入手是科学的方法,是实现标准英语听力突破的有效途径。 先说第一点。 关于听力基本功的认识问题我建议大家去买一本钟道隆编的《逆向法巧学英语》一书仔细看看,里面很多道理也说的很清楚了。我这里只想以我的亲身体验"斩钉截铁"的告诉大家:开始"真正"练习听力的时候(我这里所提到的"真正"不是指那些考试技巧, 而是发自内心的想要掌握, 运用, 享受英语的源动力),千万不可操之过急,一开始就去听那些原版的标准速度的听力资料,一方面这样的方法极不科学;另一方面也会给自己刚刚培养起来的自信心带来巨大的重创。十有八九(也可以说是所有的人)都会很快放弃的。我自己当初也是这样, 感觉简直是在听天书, 十几分钟的录音下来能够把Topic听准确已经是很不错了,当中的细节部分根本没有时间反应就一闪而过了。这种过程简直就是一种"煎熬"。当然也有少数意志力惊人的朋友坚持了下来, 但是由于方法的失策, 造成自己把大量的时间精力(有时可以说是青春)投入其中, 可是回报却难以和付出平衡, 收效甚微。说到这儿叫我想起以前我们有一位上外的听力老师讲的真人真事:一位研究生深知自己听力不过关, 决心发奋苦读。于是他每天早上都坚持听广播电台里的标准英语, 这样一听就是五年的时间。这种苦行僧似的磨炼并没有使他的听力水平真正得以提高。后来我们这位老师在了解了他的情况以后, 告诉他之所以到现在他的听力还未真正突破最主要的原因就是他的基础没有打好 ,总是泛泛而听, 而且总是听些已经有中文背景知识的广播, 就会造成一种错觉, 好象什么都听懂了,又好象什么也没听懂。大意能够抓住(其实是有背景知识的原故), 真正精确到每一句话, 每一个单词却总是丢三落四的,不能准确的传情达意。这种沙上建塔的"辛劳"永远也不会建成坚固的大厦,而总是在进行建了倒下,倒下了再建的重复劳动。 再说第二点。 从慢速英语入手是真正科学的听力突破方法。而且在我自己的实践过程中摸索出一些听力带动口语,锻炼口译的好方法。下面我想结合我给大家提供的听力资料具体谈一谈练习的方法: 1。下载完相关的听力资料后,用realplayer G2进行播放,我这里暂时不想给大家提供原文,尤其对那些本来就很清晰的听力资料。(不是很清楚的资料我回加入原文的),这主要是希望大家不要依赖原文,自己一定要一个单词一个单词的完全听懂。有的同学说我有那么几个单词实在听不懂怎么办?大家想一想,慢速英语的单词量是1500到2000,也就是说一个比较好的高中生的单词量已经超过了许多,更何况四六级都已通过的你。听不懂的唯一原因绝对不是生词的问题,(这种问题只有在听标准英语的时候才会产生,以后我会和大家专门讨论的)只能是你对这个单词的发音极其陌生,大脑根本没有反映。如果让你看一看原文,你会不屑一顾的。但在听的时候却不知所云。起初我练习的时候有时为了一个单词可以想上正正一天,嘴里老是念道着这个单词的发音。我知道这个单词我一定认识,直到某一刻恍然大悟:咳!不就是这么简单的一个单词嘛!这时我总是猛拍自己的脑袋骂道"真是愚蠢"。当然如果有些同学说这段录音我已经听了十遍了,当中的几个单词你就是打死我我也听不出来。如果真的到了这个地步,你可以把你的问题发表在世博英语论坛里,我会告诉你答案的。 2。接下来要做的就是要保证这一段录音你是完完全全的听懂了。什么是完完全全的听懂了呢?就是每听完一句话,你都能准确的复述出来,包括每一个单词。这里在语音上不是很好的朋友要注意了,由于是慢速英语,所以只要你有正常的听力能力再加上一定的毅力,就完全可以把自己的发音模仿的和VOA的播音员没什么两样,正如李阳老师所指出的:发音是一个人的英语门面。的确是这样的!如果你按照这样的方法用心练习,不出一两个月,你的发音就会有长足的进步。其实我们大多数中国人的模仿发音天赋都是很好的,随便叫出一名大学四级通过的大学生,他(她)的发音就要比我所见到的意大利人,日本人,菲律宾人。。。的发音不知要好多少倍。其实我们中国学生在口语和听力上缺陷主要有两个原因:一是缺乏练习。这也是传统教学方法的遗憾。包括我自己,也是这种只注重书面的"分析英语"的受害者。二是缺乏勇气。老是害怕自己会说错,害怕丢脸。除非你是在国外长大
