2017广东高考英语听说考试B试题及其参考答案

Part A Reading Aloud

Aging is happening to us all of the time. Our own family is often our best guide to what it will mean. When we imagine our older age, a lot of us look at our parents. We know we’ve inherited their genes and suspect that what’s happening to them now may well be what happens to us in the future. And that’s something we’re likely to have mixed feelings about. Because we inherit our parents’ genes, we might also be vulnerable to some of the same illnesses. Our skin cells simply can’t replace themselves as well as they did. Even if you have spectacular genes, eventually we’ll start to look older.

Part B Role Play

W: Hi, Tom. What’s your plan for the summer holiday? 

M: I’m learning to drive this summer. And I hope I can pass the driver test soon. Would you like to join me? 

W: No. I hate driving. I wish I could have a self-driving car. 

M: Hey, I heard that some self-driving cars are being tested. We might not need human drivers very soon. Actually, experts predict robots will take over 30% of our jobs within ten years.

三问部分

1.你认为机器人有一天会取代人类吗？

（回答：Probably yes. Actually, robots can do a lot nowadays. They can even do many difficult jobs like analyzing data and translating documents. So I think robots have some advantages over humans. They make fewer mistakes and they don’t get bored.）

2.机器人可以做哪些危险的工作？

（回答：There’re a lot. Robots can work in areas that cannot be reached by humans. They help save people from natural disasters. For example, in Japan, robots have already been used in rescue work. Robots could even go outside the space station to help do scientific work.）

3. 如果我们被机器人取代了该怎么办？

（回答：Some people are now worried about job lost. But I don’t think it’s going to be a very big problem. I believe that some jobs will never be completely replaced by robots, such as teaching and acting. What’s more, new jobs will appear anyway. I think we should take the opportunity to do some more interesting work and view robots as teammates.）

Part C Retelling

A Taxi Ride

Tom was a taxi driver. One day he picked up a passenger at midnight who was an old lady in her eighties. Taking her suitcase, Tom assisted her to walk slowly towards the taxi. When they got in the taxi, the lady asked Tom to take her to the airport and requested him to drive through downtown. Tom immediately told her that it was not the shortest way. But the lady said she was not in a hurry because the fly was in the morning. She told Tom that she has been living her entire life in this city but she was moving abroad to live with her children and not coming back. Hearing her words, Tom started the car without saying anything. For the next several hours, they drove through the city. She showed Tom the places which meant a lot to her, like the church where she got married and the factory where she used to work. At dawn, she finally said, “Let’s go now.” Then they drove in silence to the airport. When they arrived there, Tom gave her a hug. The lady held on to him tightly and said, “Thank you! You gave an old lady a little moment of joy.”
