When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile. I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day.Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someon e you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pre tend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.26. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.28. By saying “Have a nice day,” a stranger may ______________.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you29. According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a nice day” ________________.A. sincerelyB. as thanksC. as a habitD. encouragingly30. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day — a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day — a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day — a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a ConversationBI have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar lev el lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’venever h eard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weak- nesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample (样本) of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a chi ld’s sex and age,the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.31. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels______________.A. sickB. upsetC. sleepyD. hungry32. What does the author think about Dr King?A. He is strictB. He is unkindC. He has the wrong idea.D. He sets a timetable for mothers33. The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______________.A. basicB. reliableC. surprisingD. interesting34. What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?A. The baby will sleep well.B. The baby will have its brain harmed.C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35. The author supports feeding the baby______________.A. in the nightB. every four hoursC. whenever it wants foodD. according to its blood sugar levelCI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have be en a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.36. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought _______________.A. she might be recognizedB. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing37. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she ________________.A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppost by accidentD. was caught by something38. At the request stop that evening, the girl _________________.A. stopped a big lorryB. stopped the wrong busC. made no attempt to stop the busD. was not noticed by other people39. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped there.B. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.40. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping ________________.A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereDSports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons — the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computer s. W ith such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air.41. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons _____ .A. result in more sport eventsB. get more viewers to play sportsC. make more people interested in televisionD. bring more money to the television networks42. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A. Because there would be few viewersB. Because the advertisers would be off workC. Because television programs would go slowlyD. Because viewers would pay less for watching television43. In many families, men make decision on _______ .A. holiday tripsB. sports viewingC. television shoppingD. expensive purchases44. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because _______ .A. their advertisers are carmakersB. their viewers are attracted by sportsC. their advertisers target at rich peopleD. their viewers can afford expensive cars45. What is the passage mainly about?A. Television viewers are determined by male viewersB. Rich viewers contribute most to television companiesC. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on televisionD. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

He walked in as if he 17 (buy) the school. And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City.For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt 18 (please), because there were many empty seats in the room. But she quickly realized that it wasn’t her, it was probably the fact that she sat in 19 last row.20 he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong. It might have made it a little 21 (hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn’t stop the kids in the class. Of course whenever they turned to look at him, they had to look at Mary, 22 made her feel like a star.“Do you need those glasses for medical reasons?” the teacher asked. The new boy shook his head. “Then I’d appreciate it if you didn’t wear them in the class. I like to look at your eyes when I’m speaking to you. ” The new boy looked at th e teacher 23 a few seconds and all the other students wondered 24 the boy would do. Then he took 25 off, gave a big smile and said, “That’s cool.”II．阅读（共两节；满分50分）第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）A“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a s tranger says “Have a nice day!” to you, you may find it heart-warming became someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The sale girl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.26. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.28. By saying “Have a nice day,” a stranger may______.A. try to be polite to youB. express respects to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you.29. According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a good day” __________A. sincerelyB. as thanksC. as a habitD. encouragingly30. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day---- a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day----- a pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day----- a heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day----- a polite ending of a ConversationBI have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby’s blo od sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr. Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s,taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.31. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels______.A. sickB. upsetC. sleepyD. hungry32. What does the author think about Dr. King?A. He is strict.B. He is unkind.C. He has the wrong idea.D. He sets a timetable for mothers33. The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.A. basicB. reliableC. surprisingD. interesting34. What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?A. The baby will sleep well.B. The baby will have its brain harmed.C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35. The author supports feeding the baby_______.A. in the nightB. every four hoursC. whenever it wants foodD. according to its blood sugar levelCI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.36. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought .A. she might be recognizedB. asking for help looked sillyC. she was normal and independentD. being found blind was embarrassing37. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she .A. began to runB. hit a person as usualC. hit a lamppostD. was caught by something38. At the request stop that evening, the girl .A. stopped a big lorryB. stopped the wrong busC. made no attempt to stop the busD. was not noticed by other people39. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A. Other vehicles also stopped thereB. It was unreliable for making judgments.C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.40. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping .A. to find people thereB. to find more buses thereC. to find the bus by herself thereD. to find people more helpful thereDSports accounts for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sports programs for the major U.S. media company is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons —the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watchmuch television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings(收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousan ds of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air.41. Television sports programs on weekend afternoons ___________.A. result in more sport eventsB. get more viewers to play sportsC. make more people interested in televisionD. bring more money to the television networks.42. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A. Because there would be few viewersB. Because the advertisers would be off work.C. Because television programs would go slowly.D. Because viewers would pay less for watching television.43. In many families, men make decisions on _________.A. holiday tripsB. sports viewingC. television shoppingD. expensive purchases44. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because _______.A. their advertisers are carmakersB. their viewers are attracted by sportsC. their advertisers target at rich people.D. their viewers can afford expensive cars45. What is the passage mainly about?A. Television ratings are determined by male viewers.B. Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

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.

2012年3月广东英语高考听说考试真题分析
2012广东高考英语听说真题分析报告百朗时代听力与口语研发中心一、总体情况我们分析了2012年3月广东高考听说考试中的三套试题，与2011年3月的考试相比，总体来说，总体难度略微有所下降，主要表现在模仿朗读和故事复述两个大题，试题能够较好地考察学生语言运用的能力。
我们将从以下几个方面进行分析：1．难度分析1）模仿朗读部分题材基本还是围绕自然类、地理类、科技类来选择，这个范围没有变动，题材依然是说明文。
句子结构的复杂性会给学生理解内容带来一定的困难，但是与2011年高考相比，本部分在句子结构方面，长难句相对减少，不完整的句子（片句）数量有所增加，生单词的难度有所降低，而且朗读中语调以降调为主。
本部分重点考察单词和句子发音清晰程度与语音语调的准确性。
2）角色扮演部分对话内容较简单。
三套试题的Part B难度稍有差异，C卷的三问部分翻译略有难度，三套试题五答部分的题目以直接提取信息为主，间接性试题很少，难度不是很大。
与去年相比，三问部分计算机回答的内容有所增加，信息点相应地随之增加，构成一些干扰信息，而且录音只读一遍，因此考试对学生在规定的时间内准确提取信息点的能力提出了较高的要求；五答部分的试题中有个别题目的设问方式采取了同义转写的方式，增加了灵活性，对学生的听力理解能力提出了一定的要求。
3）故事复述部分与去年相比，难度有所降低。
内容在长度上有所减少，整篇没有生单词，故事的情节也比较简单。
故事的情节虽然简单，但是情节的衔接很紧密，要求学生在听取录音时准确记录关键信息点，而不至于在复述时因为遗漏一些信息而丢分。
此外，学生在复述时，要注意语调、语速、表达的连贯性及句子的语法结构，避免重复句子、停顿过长或者语法错误。
2. 选材考试中B部分的内容为常见话题，属于家庭和校园生活主题；C部分内容故事性较强，也和学生生活非常贴近。
两部分选取学生熟悉的题材，在一定程度上降低了难度，也有利于学生流畅表达。
3. 语音与语速三部分语速稍有差别，语音以美音为主。

He was going to write an exam that day, which was very important. His parents hoped he’d do well on t he exam and then be accepted into a top university. But suddenly a large lorry stopped in the road and the bus crashed into it. Nobody was hurt, but Tom wondered what to do when he got off the bus. He told a police officer at the scene that he was supposed to write a very important exam and that he was worried he’d be late. The police officer understood, and called a police car to come to the scene. When it arrived, Tom got in and the police officer drove as fast as possible. He managed to get Tom to the school ten minutes before the exam started. So Tom was able to write the exam, after all.DPart A Reading AloudWhy are we here? Where do we come from? These are the most enduring of questions andit's an essential part of human nature to want to find the answers. But, in reality, our story extends far further back in time. Our story starts with the beginning of the universe. It began 13.7 billion years ago. And today, it’s filled with over 100 billion galaxies, each containing hundreds of billions of stars.

He became interested in it, so he got off the train at the near station and managed to find the owner of the house. The owner of the house complained to Tom that he couldn’t bear the noise of the train and decided to sell it, but it’s difficult for him to find a buyer. Tom bought it at a low price, then he succeeded in persuading a big company to rent his house for advertising. The rent for three years was ten times the price of the house!。
2012年广东省高考英语真题答案和解析
2012年高考广东高考真题解析一．完形填空答案解析本文说明规章有助于人们判断是非，作出正确选择，有助于我们和睦相处，但有时要判断否非也不容易。
1. A 与下文hurt or bully(欺负) others 意义相对的应是be kind to others，反义同现。
2. C 与第一句some things are obviously right相对应，与obviously近义复现的是clearly。
3. D 由常识和下句“…tell them the right things to do on the road”可知，规章是告诉人们对该如何做作出正确“选择”。
4. A 由常识和上面中的avoid crashes可知，选A。
accidents与crash是上下义复现。
5. C 由逻辑推断可知，如果人们遵守规章而不用考虑其他事情，他们就很“容易”形成是“黑白”观。
6. D 因tell the truth与lying相对，而与always相对的应是never。
7. A 由常识可知，坚持自己的观点的人有时也会“惹上麻烦”。
“上台(get into power)”与语境不符，“坐牢(get into prison)”似乎也是可能发生的，但可能言重了。
8. D 由下面的例子可知，有时很难“严格地”区分正确与错误。
9. B 由but可知，应选与下文中kind相对的cruel。
反义同现。
10. A 他们认为可以吃肉，但对动物“依然”是友好的。
11. D 根据俗语“做贼心虚”可知，偷东西应有“犯罪感”，即感到犯了罪(guilty)。
12. B 因与poor(贫穷)同现的应是starving(挨饿)。
13. C 由因果关系可知，“规章制度有助于我们和睦相处，因为规章制度告诉我们‘对待’他人的正确方式”。
14. B 由最后一句“that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones…”可知，规章制度也可能是“令人困惑的”。

Now please get ready. When you hear a beep, begin to retell it.参考复述：When Tom was six years old, he suffered from a rare disease and was put in a hospital. Bored of watching TV there, he went on the Internet. He soon found a website that taught people how to cook. He found it extremely interesting, and found it kept his mind off everything. He fell in love with cooking. After he recovered, Tom tried his best to learn to cook at home. Most of his spare time was spent learning to cook. He’d try a recipe over and over until he got it right. Now, five years later, Tom is a famous cook and has his own cook book. He uses his skills to raise money for children suffering from t he same disease he had. He’s raised over 100000 dollars so far. He says, “Children can do much more than watch TV – they can also learn to cook by themselves.”。
