2022年广东高考英语听说考试真题解析

M: Hey, Mary, do you know the spring sale is now on? 

W: Oh, yes, my mom told me about it last night. 

M: Most items in the nearby department store are up to 75% off. Were you like to shop around there? 

W: I am afraid not. 

M: But you used to do a lot of shopping at this time of the year. 

W: Things changed. Now I don’t want to buy anything that I don’t actually need. I’ve been practising a simple lifestyle for almost eight months.

三问：

1. 提问：这种简单生活方式是什么意思？

考生翻译：What does this simple lifestyle mean?

电脑回答：It means reducing life to its basic needs. The idea is not foreign to us. In fact, more than 2,000 years ago, a Chinese philosopher spread the idea among his followers. I think he could be regarded as the first person to practise this lifestyle. However, keeping such a single lifestyle isn’t always that easy. And some people even struggle to get started.

2. 提问：你是怎样开始的呢？

考生翻译：How did you get started?

电脑回答：I started with my clothes. That was really a painful process as I used to be such a big fan of fashion. I carefully sorted out my clothes, kept necessary ones, and put the rest in five big boxes. But I really loved some clothes in the boxes. I even put some of them back to the wardrobe /'wɔ:drəʊb/ again and again. Several weeks later, I’ve finally made a firm decision to donate the five boxes of clothes.

3. 提问：你后悔过这个决定吗？

考生翻译：Have you ever regretted this decision?

电脑回答：A few times, yes. But I know I’ve made the right decision. Now my life has been totally changed. I have only a few clothes to choose from. So I spend less time deciding on what to wear before I leave home every day. As I removed all those unnecessary items, my apartment seems to have more space. Now I have set up a sports corner for yoga. I’m living a much happier and healthier life.

Tom’s Spaceship

    Tom loved space and everything about it. One day, Tom saw a spaceship in the window of a toy store and loved it very much. So when his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday, he said he wanted the spaceship. Tom’s father knew how expensive that spaceship was. He wanted to tell Tom that their family couldn’t afford it. But seeing Tom’s excitement, he promised that Tom would have his spaceship on his birthday. Tom jumped with joy. On the day of his birthday, Tom got up early and ran to the living room to see his gift. But he didn’t see the spaceship. His heart was down. Dad must have forgotten his birthday gift. Just then a voice came,  “Astronaut Tom, are you ready to take off?” Curiously, Tom turned around and saw dad riding on a spaceship. The spaceship was made out of big box and it had wings and big room to ride on. It’s not what he wanted, but it’s better. Tom jumped into spaceship excitedly and started a space exploration with his father. On that day, father and son happily explored the space of their living room, kitchen and backyard.
