Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear several longer conversation(s) and short passage(s), and you will be asked several questions on each of the conversation(s) and the passage(s). The conversation(s) and the passage(s) will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following talk.
That longer way to trip is about to begin. You've been working hard getttng everything organized. I'm here to give you the tips you need to make that packing task easier. The golden rule is: The lighter, the better. Most shampoo manufaturers seem to make a special point of packaging their products in containers which are either large or heavy.
One way to decrease the weight in your bag is to buy some small bottles and pour into them just enough shampoo for the holiday. Another idea is to collect samples of shampoo throughout the year. Ready for use when holiday time comes around. What else needs to go in the suitcase? Clothes, of course! Don't forget to roll them up. They not only saves space but also helps reduce wrinkling. Remember to put an alarm clock, washing powder, and medicine in the suitcase. Still on the subject of the suitcase. To keep your cases safe, keep them simple. If you use very expensive designers' suitcases, you will invite theft. A plain case won't be noticed as much by thieves.
Questions:
11. According to the speaker, how can we decrease the weight in the bag?
12. What does the speaker tell us to do to prevent theft?
13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following talk.
Some people believe that spending quiet hours reading and thinking in a library is the best way to prepare for a debate contest. Most memeory experts, however, would recommend preparing with team members. Doing so increases the rate of learning and the likelihood of remembering. When members of a debate team prepare together, they learn facts and master issues faster and more effectively than each individual could alone. Communication is essential to the ability to remember well, says a well-known psychologist. He's found isolating yourself is about the worst thing you can do if you want to remember information. In other words, when you talk with others, whether it is to describe a movie or complain about a difficult chapter in a textbook, you are actually strengthening your memory. The human memory works like a filing system. For a fling system to be effective, information has to be put in a logical place inside a folder that includes related information. When the members of a debate team practise by using facts in support of an argument, they are exactly gathering related pieces of information into a single mental folder. And during an actual debate, when the pressure is on, they would be more easily recalled than those memorized as isolated pieces of information.（懒得分段了）
Questions:
14. What do memeory experts think of reading and thinking quietly in debate preparation?
15. In which situation are people most likely to improve their memory?
16. In what way does human memory work like a filing system?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Last night the news said that in some cities they are thinking of turning off the public water supply during part of each day.
W: Mmm...there is a shortage of water here, too. Is there anything we could do to help? Water is so important.
M: Sure. There are many things we can do to cut down the amount of water we use. One is change some of the things in the bathroom.
W: Hmm....Don't you think changing the bathroom can be too expensive?
M: I don't mean to change everything, just ...Well, for instance, the shower head. There are new ones on the market that save almost 50% of the water. They don't cost very much.
W: Good idea! I read a normal flow for a shower is 20 liters per minute. By cutting down that by half, one would consumer only 6 liters for a shower. If we turn off the water when we brush our teeth, that would help, too.
M: Right! I wasn't aware it could be that much.
W: There are new toilets that save a lot of water. But it isn't necessary to change them right away.
M: We don't need to change them. By placing one or two brakes in the tank to take up some of the space, the amount of water flowing into the tank would be reduced.
W: That sounds great!
Questions:
17. According to the man, what was the last night's news about?
18. Which of the following is the suggestion made by the speakers?

Question 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
That long awaited trip is about to begin. You’ve been working hard getting everything organized. I’m here to give you the tips you need to making that packing task easier. The golden rule is: the lighter, the better. Most shampoo manufacturers seem to make a special point of packaging their products in containers which are either larger or heavy. One way to decrease the weight in your bag is to buy some small bottles and pour into them just enough shampoo for the holiday. Another idea is to collect samples of the shampoo throughout the year, ready for use when holiday time comes around. What else means to go in a suitcase? Clothes, of course.

Still on the subject of the suitcase. To keep your cases safe, keep them simple. If you use very expensive designer suitcases, you will invite theft. A plain case won’t be noticed as much by thieves.
Questions
11. According to the speaker, how can we decrease the weight in the bag?
R: By buying some small bottles and pouring into them just enough shampoo for the holiday or collecting samples of the shampoo.
12. What does the speaker tell us to do to prevent theft?
R: To use plain suitcases
13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
R: Tips to make your packaging task easier.
解析：2017上海高考英语短文听力第一篇是关于旅行前的包裹准备问题，作者建议我们的根本原则是：东西越轻越好。通过对洗发水，衣服，行李箱等东西的准备进行详细描述。
11题文中能直接听到题干 “One way to decrease the weight in your bag is to...”
12题在文章最后两句有讲到怎么防贼。
13题从文章第三句话“I’m here to give you the tips you need to making that packing task easier.”就可得知全文主要围绕“怎么样让旅行包裹更轻便”在讲。
相比而言2016年第一篇短文是关于金融的，介绍两种攒钱的方法，一是每周存1美元，按周递增，积少成多；二是预留工资的2%先存起来。一旦积攒达到一定金额，就会有动力继续存越来越多的钱。
所以2016和2017听力第一篇短文基本难度持平，第11、12题是事实细节题，非常简单；第13小题是归纳主旨题，难度中等。
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Some people believe that spending quiet hours reading and thinking in a library is the best way to prepare for a debate contest. Most memory experts, however, would recommend preparing with team members. Doing so increases the rate of learning and the likelihood of remembering. When members of a debate team prepare together, they learn facts and master issues faster and more effectively than each individual could alone. Communication is essential to the ability to remember well, says a well-known psychologist. He’s found that isolating yourself is about the worst thing you can do if you want to remember information. In other words, when you talk with others, whether it is to describe a movie or complain about a difficult chapter in a textbook, you are actually strengthening your memory. The human memory works like a filing system. For a filing system to be effective, information has to be put in a logical place inside a folder that includes related information. When the members of the debate team practice by using facts in support of an argument, they’re exactly gathering related pieces of information into a single mental folder. And during an actual debate, when the pressure is on, they will be more easily recalled than those memorized as isolated pieces of information.
Questions
14. What do memory experts think of reading and thinking quietly in debate preparation?
R: Most memory experts would recommend preparing with team members.
15. In which situation are people most likely to improve their memory?
R: Describing a movie or complaining about a difficult chapter in a textbook
16. In what way does human memory work like a filing system?
R: Information has to be put in a logical place inside a folder that includes related information.
解析：2017年高考听力Passage B 是一篇关于准备辩论赛，记忆的科普类文章。从文章题材和结构来看是一篇非常经典的高考科普类文章，结合学生的实际生活。文章第二句出现的however是一个经典的转折词，引出文章的中心，只有和团队成员一起合作才能做得更好。
由于本篇题材与去年不一样，所以做题方法也大相径庭。去年记叙文只要抓住when, where, who, what, why, how即可。而今年则不一样。文章一共三题（14-16题），第14题考了文章的中心主旨，只要考生注意到However，一般都能做出。
15题考了文章的分论点，抓住题干部分的most likely，即可找到文中的原句“whether it is to describe a movie or complain about a difficult chapter in a textbook,”。
16题还是考了分论点，抓住题干部分的filing system，这在文中有原句“The human memory works like a filing system. For a filing system to be effective, information has to be put in a logical place inside a folder that includes related information.”所以答案也就呼之欲出了。
总体而言，今年的passage B和去年有所不同，但难度来看几乎保持不变，答案基本都在原文中，只要考生做题时做好准备，圈划题干部分的关键词，答对自然不在话下。
Question 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Last night, the news said that in some cities, they are thinking of turning off the public water supply during part of each day.
W: Hmm, there is a shortage of water here too. Is there anything we can do to help? Water is so important.
M: Sure. There are many things we can do to cut down on the amount of water we use. One is to change some of the things in the bathroom.
W: Hmm, don’t you think changing the bathroom can be too expensive?
M: I don’t mean to change everything, just, well, for instance, the shower head. There are new ones on the market that save almost 50 percent of the water. They don’t cost very much.
W: Good idea. I read the normal flow for a shower is 20 liters per minute. By cutting down that by half, one would consume only 60 liters for a shower. If we turn off the water while we brush our teeth, that would help too.
M: Right. I wasn’t aware it could be that much
W: There are new toilets that save a lot of water, but it isn’t necessary to change them right way.
M: We don’t need to change them. By placing one or two bricks in the tank to take up some of the space, the amount of water flowing into the tank will be reduced.
W: That sounds great.
Questions
17. According to the man, what was the last night news about?
R: T urning off the public water supply during part of each day
18. Which of the following is the suggestion made by speakers?
R: To change some of the things in the bathroom
19. With a new shower head, how much water would a person use for a shower?
R: Only 60 liters
20. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?
R: How to solve the problem of water shortage
解析：此长对话听力由一则停水新闻引出如何节约用水的主题。说话者建议的方法是改变浴室的一些东西：一换掉淋浴头，二，在水槽里放两块砖占据空间，减少水池里的流入的水。
17. 属于细节题，问昨晚的新闻内容是什么，第一句话就能听出题干，比较简单。Turning off the public water supply during part of each day
18．细节题，问男说话者给出的建议是什么，在男说话者的第二句就可以找到。To change some of the things in the bathroom
19. 数字细节题，问一个人可以消耗多少水用新的淋浴头，文中出现了三个数字，第一个50%，这个数字是新淋浴头可以节约的水量；20liters是普通淋浴头一分钟的流量，新的淋浴头可以减少一半，一个人洗澡可以消耗60liters。
20. 主旨大意题。问两个说话者的主要内容，整篇都在说节约水的方法，即使有些细节有些学生听不出来，但是大意很好判断。
2017年1月份的听力长对话，是老师和学生之间的对话，主题是如何写演讲稿这个作业。
题型和6月份高考一样都有主旨判断题和细节信息题，相对而言1月份高考和6月份高考在这部分难度差异不大，今年信息题更明显，更容易找。

That long awaited trip is about to begin. You’ve been working hard getting everything organized. I’m here to give you the tips you need to making that packing task easier. The golden rule is: the lighter, the better. Most shampoo manufacturers seem to make a special point of packaging their products in containers which are either larger or heavy.

Another idea is to collect samples of the shampoo throughout the year, ready for use when holiday time comes around. What else means to go in a suitcase? Clothes, of course.

Still on the subject of the suitcase. To keep your cases safe, keep them simple. If you use very expensive designer suitcases, you will invite theft. A plain case won’t be noticed as much by thieves.
Questions
11. According to the speaker, how can we decrease the weight in the bag?
R: By buying some small bottles and pouring into them just enough shampoo for the holiday or collecting samples of the shampoo.
12. What does the speaker tell us to do to prevent theft?
R: To use plain suitcases
13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
R: Tips to make your packaging task easier.
解析：2017上海高考英语短文听力第一篇是关于旅行前的包裹准备问题，作者建议我们的根本原则是：东西越轻越好。通过对洗发水，衣服，行李箱等东西的准备进行详细描述。
11题文中能直接听到题干 “One way to decrease the weight in your bag is to...”
12题在文章最后两句有讲到怎么防贼。
13题从文章第三句话“I’m here to give you the tips you need to making that packing task easier.”就可得知全文主要围绕“怎么样让旅行包裹更轻便”在讲。
相比而言2016年第一篇短文是关于金融的，介绍两种攒钱的方法，一是每周存1美元，按周递增，积少成多；二是预留工资的2%先存起来。一旦积攒达到一定金额，就会有动力继续存越来越多的钱。
所以2016和2017听力第一篇短文基本难度持平，第11、12题是事实细节题，非常简单；第13小题是归纳主旨题，难度中等。
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
Some people believe that spending quiet hours reading and thinking in a library is the best way to prepare for a debate contest. Most memory experts, however, would recommend preparing with team members. Doing so increases the rate of learning and the likelihood of remembering. When members of a debate team prepare together, they learn facts and master issues faster and more effectively than each individual could alone. Communication is essential to the ability to remember well, says a well-known psychologist. He’s found that isolating yourself is about the worst thing you can do if you want to remember information. In other words, when you talk with others, whether it is to describe a movie or complain about a difficult chapter in a textbook, you are actually strengthening your memory. The human memory works like a filing system. For a filing system to be effective, information has to be put in a logical place inside a folder that includes related information. When the members of the debate team practice by using facts in support of an argument, they’re exactly gathering related pieces of information into a single mental folder. And during an actual debate, when the pressure is on, they will be more easily recalled than those memorized as isolated pieces of information.
Questions
14. What do memory experts think of reading and thinking quietly in debate preparation?
R: Most memory experts would recommend preparing with team members.
15. In which situation are people most likely to improve their memory?
R: Describing a movie or complaining about a difficult chapter in a textbook
16. In what way does human memory work like a filing system?
R: Information has to be put in a logical place inside a folder that includes related information.
解析：2017年高考听力Passage B 是一篇关于准备辩论赛，记忆的科普类文章。从文章题材和结构来看是一篇非常经典的高考科普类文章，结合学生的实际生活。文章第二句出现的however是一个经典的转折词，引出文章的中心，只有和团队成员一起合作才能做得更好。
由于本篇题材与去年不一样，所以做题方法也大相径庭。去年记叙文只要抓住when, where, who, what, why, how即可。而今年则不一样。文章一共三题（14-16题），第14题考了文章的中心主旨，只要考生注意到However，一般都能做出。
15题考了文章的分论点，抓住题干部分的most likely，即可找到文中的原句“whether it is to describe a movie or complain about a difficult chapter in a textbook,”。
16题还是考了分论点，抓住题干部分的filing system，这在文中有原句“The human memory works like a filing system. For a filing system to be effective, information has to be put in a logical place inside a folder that includes related information.”所以答案也就呼之欲出了。
总体而言，今年的passage B和去年有所不同，但难度来看几乎保持不变，答案基本都在原文中，只要考生做题时做好准备，圈划题干部分的关键词，答对自然不在话下。
Question 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Last night, the news said that in some cities, they are thinking of turning off the public water supply during part of each day.
W: Hmm, there is a shortage of water here too. Is there anything we can do to help? Water is so important.
M: Sure. There are many things we can do to cut down on the amount of water we use. One is to change some of the things in the bathroom.
W: Hmm, don’t you think changing the bathroom can be too expensive?
M: I don’t mean to change everything, just, well, for instance, the shower head. There are new ones on the market that save almost 50 percent of the water. They don’t cost very much.
W: Good idea. I read the normal flow for a shower is 20 liters per minute. By cutting down that by half, one would consume only 60 liters for a shower. If we turn off the water while we brush our teeth, that would help too.
M: Right. I wasn’t aware it could be that much
W: There are new toilets that save a lot of water, but it isn’t necessary to change them right way.
M: We don’t need to change them. By placing one or two bricks in the tank to take up some of the space, the amount of water flowing into the tank will be reduced.
W: That sounds great.

解析：此长对话听力由一则停水新闻引出如何节约用水的主题。说话者建议的方法是改变浴室的一些东西：一换掉淋浴头，二，在水槽里放两块砖占据空间，减少水池里的流入的水。
17. 属于细节题，问昨晚的新闻内容是什么，第一句话就能听出题干，比较简单。Turning off the public water supply during part of each day
18．细节题，问男说话者给出的建议是什么，在男说话者的第二句就可以找到。To change some of the things in the bathroom
19. 数字细节题，问一个人可以消耗多少水用新的淋浴头，文中出现了三个数字，第一个50%，这个数字是新淋浴头可以节约的水量；20liters是普通淋浴头一分钟的流量，新的淋浴头可以减少一半，一个人洗澡可以消耗60liters。
20. 主旨大意题。问两个说话者的主要内容，整篇都在说节约水的方法，即使有些细节有些学生听不出来，但是大意很好判断。
2017年1月份的听力长对话，是老师和学生之间的对话，主题是如何写演讲稿这个作业。
题型和6月份高考一样都有主旨判断题和细节信息题，相对而言1月份高考和6月份高考在这部分难度差异不大，今年信息题更明显，更容易找。
