2019年高考刚刚结束，下面为大家带来今年全国卷II听力部分（适用省份：甘肃、青海、内蒙古、黑龙江、吉林、辽宁、宁夏、新疆、陕西、重庆、海南）。备注：全国卷III（云南、广西、贵州、四川、西藏）听力部分与卷II一致，该解析同样适用。19:38题型分布：疑问词分布：全卷总词数：833词全卷平均语速：135词/分发音方式：美音试题特色：1. 对话部分仍围绕日常，但话题不单局限于学生的生活场景，更包含社会生活的各个方面。难度中等偏易，与往年基本持平，考查注重学生细节捕捉与理解的能力。2. 独白部分介绍了美国画家、博物学家，法裔美国人约翰·奥杜邦，话题较为新颖有趣。3. 今年仍旧注重同义转换方面的考查。4. 平均语速约135词/分，相较往年，语速降幅较大。2019年高考英语全国卷II的听力部分反映了英语教学大纲的要求和英语学科核心素养的考查方向。此次考试话题丰富，涉及到的对话场景真实，贴近学生的日常生活，难度适中。主要考查了考生进行信息筛选找出事实细节和进行简单推理判断的能力；同时考查了学生进行主旨大意的归纳总结以及理解观点态度的能力。具体来说，此次试题有以下几个特点：首先，选材的主题符合新课标的主题语境要求，主要涉及到人与自我以及人与社会的主题群；内容贴近生活，体现了英语的交际性与应用性特征，符合听力真实的使用场景。具体的话题对应如下表所示：其次，对话的语言也很地道，充分体现英语口语的特点。比如在Text 4中男士说：“Well,please make it another day.”这就是一句很常用也很地道的口语表达，当我们不能按时赴约或想更改约定时间就可以这样说。此外，Text 9关于发放工作录用通知中也有很多值得学习和积累的表达，比如“起薪”（starting salary）和“假期”（vacation time），以及“我需要周三之前得到你的回复”（I’ll need to hear back from you by Wednesday.）。这些表达和学生的生活息息相关，放在听力材料中是希望同学们在提高听力能力的同时，也能够将这些表达活学活用。再次，此次考试设题依然倾向于对信息的理解。考生不仅要听懂字面意思，更要体会弦外之音，有时还要结合人生阅历和背景知识对所听信息做出合理的推断。例如第20题问John的作品主题是什么，这道题就需要通过独白中谈到的他喜欢研究鸟类以及他留下了许多关于美洲鸟类的画作推断出他的作品主题是美洲鸟类。最后，这套试题设题比较多样化。此次考试设题包含四大题型（主旨大意、人物身份、地点推断、情感态度），数字计算和人物身份题，还有5道题涉及动作。综上所述，今年英语全国卷II听力的难度适中，话题丰富。典型题型和四个方面的能力考查点和往年保持一致。风格稳定，但稳中有变。除了试题结构有所变化外，当前教育改革的力度和精神在此次听力考试的话题选材中即可窥见一斑。第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。例：How much is the shirt?A. 19.15.

He spent much of his childhood in France, where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well, actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring the nature. At first, John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful, and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds and noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn’t have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family, so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We’re lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Aubon.(全国II & III卷)英语听力部分参考答案1. B 2. C 3. B 4.

I didn’t hear the bell or I would have left earlier.(Text 2)M: Hello, my name is Jack. I need to get in shape. How do I register for the classes?W: We’ll need you to join the gym, and then you can find out which classes fit your schele the best.(Text 3)W: I’ll see you at the theater.M: Better still. Let’s meet in the Red Lion Bar to have a nice little talk.W: Good idea. And I’d love to have a drink there.(Text 4)M: Hello, my name is John Arber, and I’m calling to ask about the position advertised in Friday’s daily mail.W: Yes, the position is still open. You could come over and have a talk with us.(Text 5)M: I have an extra ticket to the concert tonight. Would you like to join me?W: Thanks, but I already have one. You can ask Emily.

My mother’s decided to go back to school.M: Why?W: Well, she always loved art but learned business administration at college, because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job.M: So she wants to study art now?W: Yeah, oil painting. It’s been her dream for a long time.M: It’s nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation. Hurrying to school every day and having to pass exams sounds a bit too much for her.W: You know, she retired last year. And I’m leaving for the university soon. She needs to find something interesting to do.M: Well, maybe, if it’s what she wants.(Text 8)M: Dear listeners, for today’s show I have with me my colleague, Mary Laney. She has been a radio TV reporter for many years. Mary, welcome to our show.W: It’s a pleasure to be here.M: Would you please tell our listeners who most influenced your decision to become a reporter?W: Both my parents had a great influence upon my choice of work. Instead of trying to pick out a job for me, they helped me learn those things that led me to it.M: How did they do that?W: My father always told me that an ecation was one of the greatest advantages I could have — one that would always stay with me. He used to tell me that readers were leaders and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I’ve always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books，all of which have been an invaluable help to me in radio and television reporting.M: What about your mother?W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way.(Text 9)M: We all know that exercise is good for us, but sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.W: I can see that. You seldom do exercise.M: Plus, having the doctor tell us to get two and a half hours of exercise a week doesn’t really help our motivation much.W: Don’t be discouraged. Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn’t have to be that demanding. Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.M: Mm, interesting.W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20% lower risk of death e to heart disease. Still, the people who exercised 150 minutes a week did pretty well too, lowering their death risk by 14%.M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that like what I probably do. Does that help?W: Of course. Even 15 minutes would help.(Text 10)W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers. Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and white. They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic. Biologist student Hannah tells the broadcaster, “The youngsters’ feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads.” Biologist Christan says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicolored road this summer, and if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.英语试题听力部分参考答案1.

公众号：考博英语助手所谓的俚语也就是我们所说的俗语，面对一些我们并不熟悉的俚语，我们在考博英语听力中遇到了听不懂也是很正常的，那么这就要求我们在平时要注重多多积累。了解这些俚语及其背后的故事会对我们的听力会有所帮助，期望我们能好好预备、使用，考出满意的成绩。apple of one's eyeapple of one's eye最初指的是眼瞳，这个说法起源于《圣经》：《圣经·诗篇》第十七篇第八节：“求你保护我，如同保护眼中的瞳孔(Keep me as the apple of the eye)。”视觉是我们最重要的感觉，后来就衍生出“珍贵，宝贵”的意思，如眼瞳一般珍而视之的东西。a slip of the tongue此俚语表示“不小心的口误/笔误”。据说，1650年代，英国人首次使用 “A slip of the pen”。他写了一封信，表达他对爱慕对象Lady Catherine无限的爱。在打开信时，她看到他在信的末尾用了“在爱里”的字眼而不是“充满爱”。几天后，当Lady Catherine把这件事告诉他时，他笑了起来，说：“哦，那只是笔误。”人们很喜欢这个表达，这个俚语便流行起来。几年后，大约1725年的时候，它的姊妹篇“口误”开始变得越来越流行，因为人们不止在写作的时候犯错，说话时候也会。as fit as a fiddle词组“as fit as a fiddle”是美国的习惯用语：Fit是身体好的意思,fiddle是类似小提琴的乐器。要是一个人说他fit as a fiddle,那就好比是一把琴的弦和音调都调得很好。bring home the baconbacon，就是我们常说的培根，是一种带有咸味的烟熏猪肉，老外经常食用。据说，以前美国乡村有一种“抓滑溜猪的比赛” The fairground contest of trying to catch a greased pig。比赛方式就是：在露天赛场上，谁先捉到那只身上涂满油脂的猪，谁就能把它带回家去做熏肉。在食物匮乏的年代，一家人就可以美餐一顿了。这个口语表达引申为两种意思。第一种意思是 to earn money to live on. 也就是“养家糊口，赚钱谋生”的意思。第二种意思是 to do something successfully，也就是“成功做某事”的意思。burn the midnight oilBurn就是燃烧，midnight是半夜，oil就是油。 Burn the midnight oil就是深夜还在学习或工作，也就是开夜车。根据记载，burn the midnight oil这个习惯用语是在1635年开始使用的。当时还没有电灯，所以人们要熬夜都得点油灯。这才出现了burn the midnight oil这个说法。虽然人们早就有了电灯，不过burn the midnight oil这个习惯用语至今还很流行。以上是希赛为大家总结的考博英语听力题中常见的一些俚语。很多英文俚语除了它们原本指代的意思，还有其它的引申含义。因此在理解英语俚语时，切不可望文生义。

首先，我不建议考博的人去专门的先背单词，再看阅读，再练作文，再练听力等等，因为这样子太耽误时间，效果不是太好。其次，我不建议考博的人花太多精力去啃很大面积的英语资料，像真题啊，模拟啊，词汇啊，阅读啊之类，理由同上，太盲目。最后，我不建议考博的人复习英语的时间太散，像有的三天看一次英语，或者看的时候看一天，不看就很久不碰，这样效果基本等于没复习。博士入学的英语考试针对性很强，指的是各个学校都有各个学校的侧重点，所以大面积的复习对自己是不利的。针对这个特点，我建议选择你要考的学校的历年真题大概十套来做，这十套真题就是复习的全部资料。先确保每天至少两个小时的英语学习时间。用一个月的时间把这些真题都做出来，大概是三天一套吧。第一天做，第二、三天将里边错误的东西查出来。这是初步的动作，像单选题目不认识的单词，阅读里不认识的单词，看起来很简单但威力实足的短语，范文里不认识的单词等，这个工作量还是挺大的。下边一个月，对已经做好第一遍的真题来个回顾。不过应该彻底了解各个句子的意思，里边涉及的语法项目，里边出现的短语，都了然于胸，并应该开始模仿这些短语来写句子，看看真题里的句子跟自己写的有什么区别，区别在哪里，并尽量往真题方向靠。而阅读里的好的短语一定要做好标记，因为这些东西非常重要，而且关系到自己写作的地道问题。这个月完成了，就会发现，很多很简单的短语，我们以前都没有用到过，但用起来却非常好，非常精妙。最后一个月加十天吧，再来复习，反正就是复习完一遍就再复习一遍，直到考试结束，如果还觉着没复习够，就还可以这样复习~最后这一阶段，除了深化以前的东西外，就是要注意阅读里衔接文章的方法了，原文里是怎么过渡的，用了哪些短语，用了哪些句子。而且还要总结每种题目是怎么出题的，学会用关键词来定位原文，这样不至于太盲目。这个阶段，就要求以前见过的好的短语完全可以熟练应用，中英转化不成问题了，如果达不到这样，那还要努力。甚至到最后，有的阅读好的开篇，好的段落都可以背下来，这样在写作的时候不就非常有利了么。单选，阅读，作文，翻译这些是不分家的，按照这个方法，一百天攻关下来，相信你会得到一个满意的成绩。而有的地方会有听力，这个也没关系，在这几个月里，练习听力的方法就是听写，也一样，反复听，仔细听里边的关键词，什么连读之类，相信都到考博的地步了，美国大片儿也会看了不少了，加强一下，不成问题。这么练几个月，英语语感都会上来，至少不会复习一大气，结果不知道在复习啥，因为有的时候，是真记不住啊。考博英语，重点在精而不在广，我总结的方法是针对这个的，本人亲测有效！
