2023年高考全国甲卷英语听力原文(Text 1)W: Could you please tell me how I can get to the student dorm building?M: Sure. Turn left when you walk out of this register office. Pass the bookstore and you’ll see it.(Text 2)M: We couldn’t ask for a better day, could we, Barbara?W: I know, Steve. There isn’t a cloud in the sky. I love this time of year.M: Me too. The flowers are beautiful but calling for rain though.(Text 3)M: We got any plans this weekend?W: We might start with our vegetable garden, then the barbecue.M: Sounds fun, but I still want to go fishing with George.(Text 4)M: Lisa, I saw Jack this morning.W: You mean the former designer of our company? 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 friendsthere, 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. Now, please tell us, do you sometimes feel worried about your daughter, now that she’s grown up?W: Oh, I worry about her like all parents do. After she graduated from medical school, she went to volunteer medical service in Africa.M: Wow!W: That’s okay if communication was fine. But if there was no Internet or telephone connection, we could sometimes go two weeks without getting in touch with each other. That often worries me.(Text 8)W: Now, sell yourself in a minute please.M: I graduated from university two years ago, and have since been working in an accounting company.Apart from the knowledge and skills related to my major, I’m really goodwith computers. I have a large amount of experience working with big data. I think I’m well qualified for the accountant position here.W: Good! Why did you choose this company?M: Peterson has been my dream company all along. You value progress and focus on the quality of work more than the quantity. The flexible working hours and working from home is also attractive.W: Ah huh. What do you think is your biggest weakness?M: Well, when I work, I often concentrate so much on what I’m doing that I may have a hard time dealing with things that come up unexpectedly. That may be annoying to some people.W: All right. Thank you very much.(Text 9)W: So Robert, I guess you must be well into your third decade as a writer. How is life treating you?M: Fourth decade as a writer. Hmm, let me get my calculator out. Well, I guess I’ve been writing novels since the 1980s. So you’re right. But I have been writing all my life. And to answer your question, life has been 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 myfather 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 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 thecompetition 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 gofor this musician.。

Bring along your camera and enjoy the wonderful views along this well-surfaced forest path.Date and Time: Sunday, 2nd October, at 11:45Start Point: Kilbrannish Forest Recreation AreaWalk Duration: 1.5 hours1.Which walk takes the shortest time?A.The Natural World.B.Introduction to Hillwalking.C.Moonlight Under the Stars.D.Photographic Walk in Kilbrannish Forest.2.What are participants in Walk 3 required to do?A.Wear proper clothes.B.Join a walking club.C.Get special permits.D.Bring a survival guide.3.What do the four walks have in common?A.They involve difficult climbing.B.They are for experienced walkers.C.They share the same start point.D.They are scheduled for the weekend.Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit?Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.And you’ll never be without something to read.4.Why did BART start the kiosk program?A.To promote the local culture.B.To discourage phone use.C.To meet passengers’ needs.D.To reduce its running costs.5.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?A.By popularity.B.By length.C.By theme.D.By language.6.What has Trost been doing recently?A.Organizing a story contest.B.Doing a survey of customers.C.Choosing a print publisher.D.Conducting interviews with artists.7.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?A.It will close down.B.Its profits will decline.C.It will expand nationwide.D.Its ridership will increase.We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.8.What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?A.It guarantees the variety of food.B.It requires day-to-day care.C.It cuts the farm-to-table distance.D.It relies on farmer’s markets.9.What information does the convenient app offer?A.Real-time weather changes.B.Current condition of the plants.C.Chemical pollutants in the soil.D.Availability of pre-seeded pods.10.What can be concluded about BMF employees?A.They have a great passion for sports.B.They are devoted to community service.C.They are fond of sharing daily experiences.D.They have a strong environmental awareness.11.What does the text mainly talk about?A.BMF’s major strengths.B.BMF’s general management.C.BMF’s global influence.D.BMF’s technical standards.Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book byCatriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.12.What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.If read by someone poorly educated.B.If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.C.If written by someone less competent.D.If translated by someone unacademic.13.What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A.It is packed with complex codes.B.It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.C.It provides step-by-step instructions.D.It is intended for AI professionals.14.What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?A.Observe existing regulations on it.B.Reconsider expert opinions about it.C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D.Learn from prior experience to slow it down.15.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To recommend a book on AI.B.To give a brief account of AI history.C.To clarify the definition of AI.D.To honor an outstanding AI expert.Overtourism Is For Real: How Can Y ou Help?Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 16 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions tominimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 17●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 18 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?● 19 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 20 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.A.Visit during off-peak times.B.So, should we stop traveling?C.Travel for you and no one else.D.Can overtourism be avoided then?E.You can still find relatively undiscovered places.F.You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.G.Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.二、完形填空When I decided to buy a house in Europe ten years ago, I didn't think too long. I liked traveling in France, but when it came to picking my favorite spot to 21 , Italy was the clear winner.During my first visit to Italy, I 22 to ask for directions or order in a restaurant. But every time I tried to 23 a sentence of Italian together, the locals smiled at me and 24 my language skills. That encouragement helped me to get through the language 25 . After I made Italy my permanent home, I discovered how 26 Italians are. Neighbors will bring me freshly made cheese and will come to my door to 27 me to close the window in my car when rain is coming. It's these small 28 of kindness that make a new country feel like home.As a foodie, the way to my heart is through my stomach, and nowhere fuels my 29 quite like Italy. Each town has its own traditional 30 , and every family keeps a recipe passed from one generation to another. Families 31 for big meals on Sundays, birthdays, and whatever other excuses they can 32 . These meals are always 33 by laughter and joy. Whatever 34 life in Italy might have, the problems are 35 once you sit down to a big meal with friends and family.21.A.study B.rent C.visit D.settle22.A.planned B.struggled C.refused D.happened23.A.string B.hang C.mix D.match24.A.improved B.assessed C.admired D.praised25.A.course B.barrier C.area D.test26.A.open-minded B.strong-willed C.warm-hearted D.well-informed27.A.remind B.allow C.persuade D.order28.A.tricks B.promises C.acts D.duties29.A.ambition B.success C.appetite D.growth30.A.costume B.dish C.symbol D.tale31.A.gather B.cheer C.leave D.wait32.A.put up with B.stand up for C.come up with D.make up for33.A.signaled B.confirmed C.represented D.accompanied34.A.disadvantages B.meanings C.surprises D.opportunities35.A.created B.forgotten C.understood D.identified三、语法填空阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

W: Well, that’s true, but a car is useful.M: I don’t think so, not in the city center anyway.I can never find anywhere to park and you spend most of the time sitting in traffic jams.W: But how are you going to get to work?M: I’m thinking of getting a bicycle.W: Don’t you think bicycles are dangerous?M: Not really.I don’t think they’re as dangerous as cars.W: Well,I couldn’t do without my car. I have to take the children to school every day.M: I don’t think children get enough exercise these days.They should walk to school.W: Okay, I see what you mean.Text 8M: Hey,Heather.Can I sit here?W: Yeah, sure, Jonathan.How’s your day?M: Good.Say, are you planning your summer travels?W: Well, not yet.I was just reading a story about this woman Alan Wilson, who climbed up Mount Qomolangma.M: Yeah,I read that too. A rather extraordinary experience, isn’t it? Ninety six days!She is actually a graduate of our college, class of 2012.W: Oh, really?So Jonathan, what amazing thing have you done?M: Well,I just went cycling across South America.W: You didn’t.M: I did, just last year before I entered the graduate school. It was such a brilliant time, four months on the road and enjoying wonderful scenery in the country, in towns and in cities all along the way. I got a bit tired, though.W: Sounds great, hmm, maybe I should think seriously about my big life adventure, like taking a long walk across a national park.M: Wow, let me know if you need someone to go with you.Text 9W: Hi,Matt. May I ask you a few questions?M: Certainly Julian, what do you want to know?W: I’m doing a study on the spending habits of students in our school. I’m writing a paper for my social studies course.M: That sounds interesting!W: To begin with, how much money do you get from your parents a month? M: I get about five hundred dollars.W: How do you spend your money?M: I spend about three hundred dollars on food, you know how I like to eat. W: Yes, what about the rest of the money?M: Well,I spend on shows, about thirty dollars a month. Games, uh, for rental of tennis, court and balls, about fifty dollars. I do spend some one on things like reading material and the rest I save.W: What about clothes?M: My mother buys them for me.W: Thanks a lot,Matt!M: You’re welcome!Text 10W: Hello, everyone. I’m very glad to be here to talk to you. People need to feel secure and comfortable, so they can be creative.Well designed workplaces often create environments that make employees better thinkers. So today, I’ll talk about how to design workplaces that inspire creativity.I hope you can find it useful. First, the color of the office walls.Decorate your office with green.Other bright colors such as light blue and yellow can also increase creativity. Calmer colors help us concentrate. Green also reminds us of nature, which may help us to relax.Avoid red when you are choosing a color.While it can give us a feeling of energy, it also affects our ability to analyze information. Then let’s turn to lighting. Lighting is also important.Too dark and workers can feel sleepy, well, if it is too bright, it can make them feel anxious. The best kind of lighting is natural light.It makes us happier and more productive.When it comes to artificial lighting, warm colors are the best. But if we need to concentrate, a bluer light is better. Space is another important matter. A company might want to develop a variety of spaces in an office, so staff can find privacy if needed, but also work in open areas for creative thinking.◆◆听力原文二◆◆Text 1W: Steve, I think we have gone off, of course. We’ve been cycl ing for an hour and there’s no beach in sight.M: I don’t think so. I’ve been checking the map. Across this part to the international hotel and the beach’s one mile from there.Text 2M: Nancy, are you having a big Christmas dinner at your house this year? W: Actually, I plan to spend Christmas at a homeless shelter with some friends. We just want to do something for the people there.Text 3W: Oh, no, I think we’ve just missed the bus.M: How can that be? It says here that the bus’s arriving at ten fi fty five. My watch says we’re five minutes ahead of time. Wait a minute! The town hall clock is striking eleven!Text 4M: There used to be a bookstore on the corner of Lear Road and Nelson Street. Is it still there?W: Not any more. It’s a restaurant now. The bookstore has moved to Huntington Road, just next to the shopping centre.Text 5W: Would you pick up some milk and eggs from the supermarket?M: Sure, do you need anything else?W: No, oh, wait! Get some bread too. We don’t have any for breakf ast tomorrow.Text 6W: What can I do for you?M: I’d like to return these books.W: Okay, um. What happened to this book?M: I dropped it and the cover tore off. Sorry!W: Well, I’m afraid you’ll have to pay a fine for the damage.M: How much?W: Three dollars.M: That’s not too bad.W: You can pay it now or at the end of the month.M: I’ll pay it now.Here you are.Text 7W: Can I help you?M: Yes, I’m looking for a gift for my daughter’s birthday, and I want something special.W: Right, daughters are Daddy’s little girls. We have all kinds of sweet things that are specially designed for young girls. What about this set of heart shaped tea cups and saucers? Every time she pours a drink into the cup, a heart appears. The set includes six different colored tea cups and saucers. The price is fifty six dollars ninety cents.M: It looks quite good. What’s that bag over there?W: It’s an apple-tree-to-be gift set. It has everything needed to grow an apple tree—tree seed, pot, growing medium and directions.M: Oh, this is a great idea. Many years later, it will grow into a big apple tree in the garden, and it will always remind her of this special birthday.W: Yeah, yeah, isn’t it great?M: How much is it?W: Twenty four dollars ninety five cents.M: I’ll take the apple tree set.Text 8W: Karl, don’t you think you should take a break? You haven’t gone on a holiday for the last two years.M: I would like to, Susan, but it is not possible. There is too much work.W: But you look too tired. You need a break.M: I know, but as long as they don’t hire more people, my chances are slim.W: Why don’t they hire more people?M: Because they want to keep costs down.W: Have you discussed this with the manager?M: Well, I did have a word with him last month, but I don’t think thathelped much.W: In that case, you should consider changing jobs.M: I have been thinking about it for a while. You would let me know if you find any positions available, wouldn’t you?W: Of course, but you should also look for wanted ads.M: I’ve already done that, but I haven’t yet found a job opening that suits my skills.W: Don’t lose hope.You will find a good job soon.Text 9M: Amy, how are you doing?W: Oh, hi Stewart.School is so crazy these days and when I’m not at school, I’m at work.M: Hey,listen!

There are two bedrooms, a nice kitchen and a living room.W: Sounds nice.M: Yeah. And there is a grocery store next to the apartment building. And there is a laundry and a fast food restaurant across the street, so it is a quick way to get a meal.W: That's good. How much do you pay in rent?M: Well, I have a roommate, so I pay half the rent. That is $275 a month, with gas, water and electricity included. And the Internet and satellite TV are separate.W: That's a really wonderful price. How on earth did you find a place like that?M: I just found it online.W: Great.Text 10M: 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 getcaught 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.。
