2017广东高考英语听说考试A试题及其参考答案

Part A Reading Aloud

By 1850,almost all of New England’s forest had been chopped down, and much of this was turned to farmland, surrounded by stone walls. But then everything changed, as richer farmland and gold were discovered in the west. And many of the settlers chased their fortunes elsewhere. Towns like Liver more disappeared as quickly as they had been formed. Slowly, the trees of New England grew around the ruins and reclaimed the land. This new forest was very different. By chopping down the old-growth trees, people had given fast-growing maples and oaks a chance to claim the land. They grew back in greater numbers than ever before.

W: Cool.But I don’t think I can afford a holiday there. It must be very expensive.

三问部分

1.那是什么意思呢？

（回答：Well, work exchange is a great way to save money when you travel. You just work to get a free bed and some free food and you meet new people. For example, I worked on a farm this time in Australia. In exchange, the host there afforded me very nice accommodation and food, and I even made a good friend there, who was also on work exchange.）

2.你有很多空闲时间旅游吗？

（回答：Sure. In Australia, I had two days a week for travelling, while last year in India, I worked only three days aweek. It really depends. How many hours you work is decided by the host.）

3.游客能找到哪些工作呢？

（回答：There’re jobs available in hostels, art galleries, local families and so on. It really depends on the host and the country. For example, in Australia, there’re more jobs on farms than in hostels. In some countries, there’re many job opportunities offered by local families. The parents of those families mostly want you to teach their kids English. But I guess a hostel job is the most popular one.）
