CAB录音原文Text 1 (2020年全国Ⅰ卷, Text 10）M: Hello, ⑰I’m Jeff Anderson from Coventry England. ⑳And in today’s program, I’d like to share with you a special kind of English culture — the football. A lot of people in England are crazy about football. During the football season, whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams, such as Liverpool and Newcastle, are hung outside every window, or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves. ⑱There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air. Groups of young men crowd into dark, packed pubs, staring at the television screens. Of course, they’re covered head to toe in the colors of their team. They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal, or with joy when there is a moment of success. You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement. As far as victories are concerned, England had its big moment in 1966 in Wembley stadium. The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans. Now, whenever England is playing a big match, red and white covers every inch of every pub, a symbol of hope: the English flag. Well, football has never been something I’m particularly interested in. ⑲For years, I’ve had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support. You cannot say you don’t like or do not follow football in England, as often this would lead to a long dialogue in which someone would begin telling you why you should support their team.Text 2 (2020年全国Ⅰ卷, Text 10）M: Hello, everybody. Today I’d like to share with you something about John Audubon. John was born on April 26th, 1785. ⑰He 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, ⑱John beganhis life in the US as a businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring nature. At first, ⑲John 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. ⑳We are lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.Text 3 (2018年全国II卷Ⅲ卷, Text 10）W: My name is Emily. I had been a dancer for quite a long time. ⑰I started studying ballet when I was six years old. By the time I was nine, I was dancing five days a week. When I was eighteen, ⑱I decided that I really preferred contemporary dance and that I wanted to do it professionally. So I applied successfully for the training program at the School of Toronto Dance Theater, and moved to Toronto to attend the program. That was the period of time I enjoyed most in Toronto. I graduated on scholarship and danced professionally for ten years. But after all those years, ⑲I found that dance was gradually becoming something that felt like more of a burden than a joy. I found myself increasingly unwilling to drag myself to dance performances, so I quit. I do miss dance often. But ⑳it makes me happy to think that I’ll never have to go to another training s ession again.Text 4 (2015年全国Ⅰ卷, Text 10）M: Look at this picture. ⑳It’s the London Tea Trade Centre. As you can see, it is on the north bank of the River Thames. It is the centre of an important industry in the everyday lives of the British people. Tea is the British national drink. Every man, woman, and child over ten years of age has on average over four cups a day, or some one thousand five hundred cups annually. ⑰About thirty percent of the world’s exports of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world. Now, in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea tasters, before they’re sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work. Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on long tables. ⑱The tasters generally taste teas with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. ⑲The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea. After that, they…Text 5 (2013年全国Ⅰ卷, Text 10）M: At the beginning of the tour, we will start with the most important place in my town, which is the Plaza Leon. ⑰The Plaza Leon, which is more than 100 years old, is a gathering place for young people on Friday and Saturday nights, ⑱and for parents and children on Sunday afternoons. Four streets lead to the Plaza which have white sidewalks and a tree line. ⑲Hernandes Street, which was named after a famous writer born in the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands. Fernando Street, which was named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed. Via del Mar Street whose roads are made of stones is the only street which still has its old surface. ⑳Finally, we come to Horatio Street, on which there are two universities. One of them is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it is my favorite street of all.Text 6 (2018年3月Pets 2, Text 10)Thank you for calling Global Cinema.

But actually, not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife own a guesthouse in Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh vegetables from their garden. For almost ten years, the Hoffmans have been experimenting with shade plantings. Curious visitors often ask how they do it. Here is the answer: they grow tomatoes near the trees that produce a lot of shade. Tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun. This goes against the traditional advice that tomatoes need eight, even twelve hours a day of full sun. In fact, plants and tree roots can share something in common. Besides tomatoes, the Hoffmans grow Irish potatoes. Plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. The potatoes grow better in the shade than in full sun.。
