2009年上海高考听力文本公布与简析
上海新东方VIP学习中心中学个性化听写名师 刘力铭
整个上海听力考试还是秉承以往的方向, 不仅进一步强化了上海高考听力的能力测试,同时在难度上也稍胜去年. 题材也更加得丰富多彩，淡化出题技巧，因此学生平时的积累与练习尤为重要。
PART A第一主要还是以贴近学生生活为主.在题材上紧跟时代潮流. 第一题就考察了流行的网络购物场景. 今后同学们在积累购物场景词汇的时候, 可能要多注意这方面相关的词汇和用法. 第二, 对话的平均长度要略长于往年, 信息量更大, 给学生挑战也更大. 第三, part a似乎改变了出题策略。我们以往熟知的考点如人物关系等就没有出现。另外，题目中考察理解的程度有所加深，考生光凭只言片语已不能答对题目。
PART B 的第一篇还是考故事。但是从第二篇我们可以看到，继去年的instruction作为过渡之后，今年正式开始启用学术演讲内容作为出题来源。题材与雅思听力考试的section 4和托福听力考试颇有异曲同工之妙。明年的考生可以从这个角度出发，多听一些有关动物，历史等题材的学术讲座。听时注意演讲的逻辑与熟悉正式严谨的用词。
PART C是PART A的升级版。但侧重点已从简单的生活场景向外国社会风俗文化转移。像今年考到的就是具有英国特色的单一性别寄宿制学校和男女同校的问题。
总而言之，随着考试方向以能力为主不断深化，如果我们学生在平时的语言学习当中，只会死记硬背某个单词和僵硬的知道某一语法现象，已经完全不能在越来越强调语言应用的英语高考中披荆斩棘。因此，如何学以致用需要我们严正对待。

PART B PASSAGES
ONE
when I was 12, my parents moved out of London to a small village in Oxford. I was the only Asian girl in my school, and I suddenly felt a bit lonely. luckily, I had a brilliant art teacher who encouraged me to go to art college.
However, on the day of my college interview in Bath, I woke up late. I left the house wearing two odd shoes and didn't notice that my bottle of chocolate milk had poured all over the painting in my bag. then when I finally got to the station, I got on the wrong train. who knows, if I had gone to Bath that day, I might have become a professional artist. but I went to Swinden instead. I told the woman next to me on the train about what had happened, and she suddenly cried with laughter. it turned out she was a producer of a comedy programme on the radio.
to cut a long story short, I got an invitation a week later to attend an interview for the show, and the rest, as they say, is history.I am very happy my life has been full of happy accidents. now I am in charge of a very popular TV comedy programme.
11.why did the speaker fell lonely in her new school?
12.where did the speaker plan to go for her college interview?
13.what incident had changed her fate?
TWO
today, I will make a speech on zoos. many people think zoos are cruel, and have no place in the modern world. it is my own opinion that zoos, although not perfect, do have a useful function.
firstly, zoos are places of education. zoos can help children to appriciate nature. further more, research into animal behaviour is done in zoos, and has increased on knowledges of zoology, genetics and even psycology. above all, zoos can protect the future of many species of animal. many species today are in danger of extinction, and thanks to zoos, they have a chance of survival.
opponents of zoo say that they are cruel. first of all, they argue, zoos can not recreate the enviornment in which animals live and because of this, animals are bored into depressed. secondly, animals have frequent contact with human visitors. which can be stressful.
however, in my opinion, most zoos have improved recently. it is now quite rare to see animals in cages, and most zoos try hard to recreat the enviornment in which defferent animals live.
in conclusion, although zoos are not perfect enviornment for animals, I believe that they have more advantages than disadvantages. in an ideal world, zoos would not be necessary. but as long as man hunts animals for profit and destroy their enviornments, zoos are essential.
14:what is the most important fuction of zoos according to the speaker
15:why are some people against zoos?
16:what does the speaker think of zoos?

a: in England today, are schools mixed, or singal-sex?
b:well, there are both. 50 years ago, all schools used to be singal-sex. I mean, girls only or boys only. then in the 1970s, many schools changed and became mixed.
a: do parents still prefer mixed schools?
b:no, things have changed. today, many parents, specially parents of girls, think their children get a better education in singal-sex schools.
a: why do girls do better at singal-sex schools?
b:because girls learn to be more self-confident and less worried about their appearance.
a:what about boys?
b:well, today many parents of boys want to send them to mixed schools.they think that the girls will be a positive influence on boys.
a: so generally, speaking, who does better at mixed schools?
b: oh, the girls. they get better exam results than boys..
