But at the beginning of the 18th century, the difficulty of getting raw materials to their workshops, and the finished products to the market was obvious. From 1706, the length of roads increased from 3 hundred miles to 15 thousand miles just 70 years later. And they didn’t only connect big cities, they also created a trading network between small towns, increasing the movement of goods and ideas around the country.

2018年广东省高考英语听说考试真题CPart A Reading AloudFor thousands of years, human beings have been fascinated by whales. It is uncertain when, how or why the ancestors of the whale gradually moved into a purely aquatic environment. Freed from the gravity of the land, the whales evolved to become the true ocean beings of the planet. For most of our shared history, our relationship with the whales has been a distant one. If a memory remains behind the eyes of these gentle creatures, it is rarely if ever shown. Rather our first furtive attempts to enter the whale's domain seem greeted with curiosity and a longing for communication and understanding.Part B Role Play视频对话：W: Hi,Dr. Brown.

different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste，while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day．And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home，preparing meals for sons，Sam，14，Finn，13，and Jack，11．"We love Mexican churros，so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant，'' she explains，"I pay £5 for a portion（一份），but Matt makes them for 26p a portion，because they are flour，water，sugar and oil．Everybody can buy takeaway food，but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves．"The eight﹣part series （系列节目），Save Money：Good Food，follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money：Good Health，which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market．With food our biggest weekly household expense．Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week．In tonight's Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget．The team transforms the family's long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still

thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers，small，tightly knit （联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation andbetter communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．At present，the world has about 6，800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico （150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three）or Wadjigu in Australia （one，with a question﹣mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival．（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times？A．They developed very fast．B．They were large in number．C．They had similar patterns．D．They were closely connected．（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex．B．Advanced．C．Powerful．D．Modern．（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？A．About 6，800．B．About 3，400．C．About 2，400．D．About 1，200．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A．New languages will be created．B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．C．Human development results in fewer languages．D．Geography determines language evolution．14．（8.00分）DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new，but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置）well after they go out of style．That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things．To figure out how much power these devices are using，Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device．This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s．Devices were grouped by generation．Desktop computers，basic mobile phones，and box﹣set TVs defined 1992．Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997．And MP3 players，smart phones，and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007．As we accumulated more devices，however，we didn't throw out our old ones．"The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room，and suddenly one day，you have a TV in every room of the house，" said one researcher．The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007．We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue touse them．According to the analysis of Babbitt's team，old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window．So what's the solution（解决方案）？The team's data only went up to 2007，but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function，such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing．They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．（1）What does the author think of new devices？A．They are environment﹣friendly．B．They are no better than the old．C．They cost more to use at home．D．They go out of style quickly．（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research？A．To reduce the cost of minerals．B．To test the life cycle of a product．C．To update consumers on new technology．D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices．（3）Which of the following uses the least energy？A．The box﹣set TV．B．The tablet．C．The LCD TV．D．The desktop computer．（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？A．Stop using them．B．Take them apart．C．Upgrade them．D．Recycle them．第二节（毎小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

times there has been less coming and a lot more going． When theworld was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers， small， tightly knit （联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other． Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago， when the world had just five to ten million people， they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．Soon afterwards， many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number． In recent centuries， trade， industrialisation， the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades， all have caused many languages to disappear， and dominant languages such as English， Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．At present， the world has about 6，800 languages． The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven． The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages， often spoken by many people， while hot，wet zones have lots， often spoken by small numbers． Europe has only around 200 languages； the Americas about 1，000； Africa 2，400； and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200， of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800． The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6，000， which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡）， with only a few elderly speakers left． Pick， at random， Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers）， Chiapaneco in Mexico （150）， Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three） or Wadjigu in Australia （one， with a question﹣mark）： none of these seems to have much chance of survival．（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times？A． They developed very fast．B． They were large in number．C． They had similar patterns．D． They were closely connected．（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex．B．Advanced．C． Powerful．D． Modern．（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？A． About 6，800．B． About 3，400．C． About 2，400．D．About 1，200．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A． New languages will be created．B． People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．C． Human development results in fewer languages．D． Geography determines language evolution．14．（8.00分）DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new， but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置）well after they go out of style． That's bad news for the environment ﹣ and our wallets ﹣ as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things．To figure out how much power these devices are using， Callie Babbittand her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device． This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s． Devices were grouped by generation． Desktop computers，basic mobile phones， and box﹣set TVs defined 1992． Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997． And MP3 players， smart phones，and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002， before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007．As we accumulated more devices， however， we didn't throw out our old ones． "The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room， and suddenly one day， you have a TV in every room of the house，" said one researcher． The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007． We're not just keeping these old devices﹣ we continue to use them． According to the analysis of Babbitt's team， old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放） more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window．So what's the solution（解决方案）？The team's data only went up to 2007， but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function， such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing． They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．（1）What does the author think of new devices？A． They are environment﹣friendly．B． They are no better than the old．C． They cost more to use at home．D． They go out of style quickly．（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research？A．To reduce the cost of minerals．B．To test the life cycle of a product．C．To update consumers on new technology．D． To find out electricity consumption of the devices．（3）Which of the following uses the least energy？A． The box﹣set TV． B． The tablet．C． The LCD TV． D． The desktop computer．（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？A． Stop using them．B． Take them apart．C． Upgrade them．D． Recycle them．第二节（毎小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。

2018年广东省高考英语听说考试真题CPart A Reading aloud (模仿朗读)For thousands of years, human beings have been fascinated by whales. It is uncertain when, how or why the ancestors of the whale gradually moved into a purely aquatic environment. Freed from the gravity of the land, the whales evolved to become the true ocean beings of the planet. For most of our shared history, our relationship with the whales has been a distant one. If a memory remains behind the eyes of these gentle creatures, it is rarely if ever shown. Rather our first furtive attempts to enter the whale’s domain seem greeted with curiosity and a longing for communication and understanding.Part B Role Play (角色扮演)视频录音W: Hi, Dr. Brown. I know you just got back from a business trip.M: Yes, I just came back last Friday.W: How was the trip?M: It was good. I did a training program for a trade company.W: Hum, what was the program about?M: It was about how to dress properly at work places.W: Really? I am going to start my first job, but I am a bit worried about what to wear for work.M: Don’t worry. Most employers are flexible with dress code. They allow their employees to wear casual clothes atwork.1. 他们为什么这样做？Why do they do so?电脑回答Some studies showed that people are more productive when they are wearing casual clothes. Employees also like the casual wear, because they don’t need to buy many clothes especially for work. Actually, people started to wear casual clothes on Fridays in the 1990s. Today, employees in many companies can wear casual clothes on most weekdays.2. 那意味着我可以穿任何衣服吗？Does that mean we can wear any clothes?电脑回答Not exactly. For example, if you need to do a business presentation or attend a formal meeting, you need to dress formally. Generally speaking, some types of clothes are not considered suitable at work places. Sandals, sports wear, vests and shorts are clothes that are usually too casual for the office.3. 我怎么知道在我的公司该穿什么？How can I know what to wear in my company?电脑回答Usually, many companies have rules and regulations about dress code. You may check your company handbook for detailed information. You can ask some senior employees in your company for some tips. That would be most helpful.1. When did Dr. Brown come back?He came back last Friday.2. What company was Dr. Brown’s training program for?It was for a trade company.3. What are the benefits of wearing casual clothes at work?People are more productive and they don’t have to buy many clothes especially for work.4.

2018年广东省高考英语听说考试真题APart AThis is one of the greatest masterpieces of Chinese landscape painting. When westerners first discovered Chinese paintings like this one, they could not see their value. To understand painting, you need to understand calligraphy. The character is not a picture of an object in the real world, but a symbol for an idea. As Chinese characters are symbols for ideas, so elements in a Chinese landscape, rocks, water, trees and mountains, became symbols of concepts. For the Chinese, pictures painted with a brush are symbols that carry both the surface meaning and additional hidden meanings. Chinese paintings are not just pretty pictures. They mean something.Part B视频对话W: Good afternoon, Dr. Brown.

According to my research, good sleep benefits our mind, weight, heart and more. Yet, few of us realize that. Now more and more people, including young students, are having sleep problems.1. 学生是如何受到睡眠影响的？How are students affected by sleep?电脑回答For children between the ages of 10 and 16, if they haven’t got enough sleep, they are more likely to have problems with attention and learning. College students who don’t get enou gh sleep have worse grades than those who do. So don’t sacrifice sleep even if you are trying to meeta deadline.

Recently she was short of money, so she decided to sell some of her paintings. Tom, a rich man, who was particularly fond of Mary’s paintings, heard about this. One day, Tom asked Mary to sell him one of her paintings. Mary asked for 500 dollars for the painting that Tom chose. Tom thought it was a fair price and agreed. He quickly wrote out a check, put it into an envelope and gave the envelope to Mary. Later that day, Mary went to a local bank. She handed the envelope to a clerk. The clerk opened it, read the check and told Mary that it was 5,000 dollars. Mary was surprised at the largeamount of money and thought that Tom must have made a mistake. So she hurried back to Tom and told him about the mistake. Hearing this, Tom had a look at the check and thought for a while. Then he replied with a smile, “Yes, I did make a mistake. I wrote 5,000 instead of 500. But please accept the 5,000 dollars because your honesty is worth far more than that.”参考答案1：Mary was a young painter.

different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste，while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day．And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she's been able to put a lot of what she's learnt into practice in her own home，preparing meals for sons，Sam，14，Finn，13，and Jack，11．"We love Mexican churros，so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant，'' she explains，"I pay £5 for a portion（一份），but Matt makes them for 26p a portion，because they are flour，water，sugar and oil．Everybody can buy takeaway food，but sometimes we're not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves．"The eight﹣part series （系列节目），Save Money：Good Food，follows in the footsteps of ITV's Save Money：Good Health，which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market．With food our biggest weekly household expense．Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week．In

thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter﹣gatherers，small，tightly knit （联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation﹣state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation andbetter communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．At present，the world has about 6，800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000；Africa 2，400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number （中位数）of speakers is a mere 6，000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that．Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction （消亡），with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon （eight remaining speakers），Chiapaneco in Mexico （150），Lipan Apache in the United States （two or three）or Wadjigu in Australia （one，with a question﹣mark）：none of these seems to have much chance of survival．（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter﹣gatherer times？A．They developed very fast．B．They were large in number．C．They had similar patterns．D．They were closely connected．（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex．B．Advanced．C．Powerful．D．Modern．（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6，000 people at present？A．About 6，800．B．About 3，400．C．About 2，400．D．About 1，200．（4）What is the main idea of the text？A．New languages will be created．B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages．C．Human development results in fewer languages．D．Geography determines language evolution．14．（8.00分）DWe may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new，but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices （装置）well after they go out of style．That's bad news for the environment ﹣and our wallets ﹣as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things．To figure out how much power these devices are using，Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life ﹣from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device．This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s．Devices were grouped by generation．Desktop computers，basic mobile phones，and box﹣set TVs defined 1992．Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997．And MP3 players，smart phones，and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002，before tablets and e﹣readers showed up in 2007．As we accumulated more devices，however，we didn't throw out our old ones．"The living﹣room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room，and suddenly one day，you have a TV in every room of the house，" said one researcher．The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007．We're not just keeping these old devices﹣we continue touse them．According to the analysis of Babbitt's team，old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions （排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window．So what's the solution（解决方案）？The team's data only went up to 2007，but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function，such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing．They found that more on﹣demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．（1）What does the author think of new devices？A．They are environment﹣friendly．B．They are no better than the old．C．They cost more to use at home．D．They go out of style quickly．（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research？A．To reduce the cost of minerals．B．To test the life cycle of a product．C．To update consumers on new technology．D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices．（3）Which of the following uses the least energy？A．The box﹣set TV．B．The tablet．C．The LCD TV．D．The desktop computer．（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices？A．Stop using them．B．Take them apart．C．Upgrade them．D．Recycle them．第二节（毎小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。
