2018年广东省高考英语听说考试真题D

三问部分：

Question 1: What does that mean?

Answer 1:It means that the design combines environmentally friendly ideas. I visited one building with eco-designs. They helped cut energy cost greatly. Last year, that building

saved up to 20 percent energy cost compared to other ordinary buildings, thanks to the

various wonderful designs.

Question 2: What design impressed you most?/ What design impressed you best?/ What is your most impressive design?/ What is the most impressive design for you?

Answer 2: Well, I think what impresses me most is the high-tech curtain wall. For one thing, it is used to adjust temperature automatically in the building. The indoor temperature will

not be affected by conditions outside. For another, it enables 90 percent of the office

area to enjoy natural sunlight which makes people feel like closer to nature.

Question 3: Are there any other new designs in the building?

Answer 3: Yes, of course. For example, there is only one elevator in the building. Many staff have to walk to their offices. At first, some of them complained. But gradually they

realized walking is pretty good exercise to keep them fit. Another example is that the

parking spaces are reserved mostly for small cars, so the use of small cars is

encouraged.

参考复述：

Tom was old and lived by himself in a small village. His grandchildren came to see him over their holidays. During this holiday, Tom was happy to see his grandchildren. The next day, though, his favorite watch was missing. Tom was very upset, for his wife gave him the watch when they got married. His grandchildren promised to find it for him. They decided to search the basement since that was the last place Tom saw it. After two hours, they still hadn’t found the watch. Tom was desperate. Then one grandson said he would look around the basement again, but the others could not follow him and should keep silent. The little boy went down to the basement and sat in total silence. Ten minutes later, he brought his grandfather’s watch to him. Tom couldn’t believe what was happening. The little grandson said he just listened carefully for the ticking sound of the watch when it was quiet in the basement.
