根据高考改革的设计初衷，第一个题型听力部分可谓是大刀阔斧的第一刀，短对话被取消，考察六个长对话，共15个选择题，填空题增加到五个。长对话的增多、主观试题听写填空的分值比例增加，理论上势必导致听力部分更加注重对考生口语和书面表达输出水平、和在听说环境中对多种细节的处理加工能力的考察，难度会有所上升，对英语实际运用能力较差的考生不利，但笔者实际深入感受了今年的听力命题后，发现听力难度不升反降，语音为纯正美语，语速为140词每分钟，对话部分的语言设计略显沉闷，对话句型老套，对话情节了无新意，没有完全达到再现西方社会英语地道文化语境的真实效果，也没有出现较难的听力特词汇以及偏难怪的习语俚语；前面的四个长对话与以前的短对话无异，信息量并未增加，让人有“虚晃一枪”的感觉；听力填空题的题材与05年湖南卷填空题的电话自动应答雷同，老调重弹，缺乏新意。笔者觉得听力命题明显考虑照顾到了本省地州市英语口语教学水平相对欠发达的地区学子。

    《牛津高中英语》教材的大胆使用，应当在几年内使湖南中学生的听说、词汇运用能力有质的飞跃。但2010年高考听力命题思路与原版教材的升级背道而驰。“中国基础中学教育向以高考为纲、莘莘学子一考定乾坤”的教育现状为不争的事实，与其否认不如正视和面对，通过符合国际英语教育和阶段性评价测试的先进理念指导高考命题，进而带动和促进基础中学英语教育水平向着科学、务实、高效、实用的正确方向发展，应该是当务之急。听力题目的设计命题应当走在时代的前沿，随着整体英语水平的提升而适当提高难度系数，才能使英语作为交流工具的功能进一步凸显，但是为了一味求稳，为了所谓的公平，照顾“后进”，使高考听力命题不是与时俱进而是因循守旧，这种“不患贫患不均”的心态可以说是历史的倒退，不但明显对英语水平较高的考生不利，而且从根本上违背了高考选拔人才的宗旨，是新的层面上的一种不公和偏颇。

    介于此，笔者斗胆有感而发，高考听力部分的命题应当借鉴大学四六级的听力部分的思路，向国际标准英语评测体系雅思和托福考试看齐，大胆尝试，突出检验考生英语听力信息处理能力、口语表达水平和与书面表达的整合的综合运用能力，二广大基础中小学要加大对学生英语听说能力培训的软硬件投入，重视学生和英语口语水平和测试能力齐头并进发展，而不是明改革暗守旧，新瓶装旧酒，换汤不换药，以免让兄弟省份教育界资深人士和专家学者耻笑。

    笔者听过高考考场现场录音进行听抄整理出原文资料，将所有30分的题目分析如下（由于录音极其模糊，个别句子实在难以听清，可能有个别文字与原文略有出入，还望海涵！）

第一部分 长对话

长对话一 Q1-2 细节罗列场景

W: Zad, Have you bought some flowers for Mom’s birthday? Mom loves flowers.

M: Flowers? No! We just bought her flowers for the Mother’s day. How about a nice box of chocolate?

W: She’s trying to lose weight these days, doesn’t she?

M: well, We could buy her books. She enjoys reading novels.

1. Why do they want to buy a gift for their mother?

A. It's her birthday. B. It's Mother's Day. C. It's Women's Day.

第一题选择A, 对话开头一两句即出现对话的目的和主题，主题开头的提问，往往揭示要点，这是必考的考点。

2. What are they going to buy?

A. Some flowers. B. A box of chocolates. C. A book.

第二题选择C，这是尾巴细节题，在最后一句出现，注意一头一尾的考点，复合湖南高考听力一贯的解题原则，最后听到的即为正确答案，前面的A B 项都是干扰信息。

长对话二 Q3-4 求助场景

W: It’s 9 o’clock now. Here Bill, I need to mail these letters right away.

M: Ok, Miss #$%, I’ll do it right now.

W: And while you’re there, please buy 10 one dollar’s stamp.

M: No problem, I should be back in half an hour.

3. What does the woman ask the man to do?

A. Go to a bank. B. Mail letters. C. Buy some magazines.

第三题选择B。与上题如出一辙，对话开篇定主题和目的，注意情态动词的提示功能。

4. What time will the man probably be back?

A. 9:00. B. 9:30. C. 10:00.

第四题选择B。考考听力细节题常考时间、地点、人名、数字，所以关注。综合前后两个时间信息，稍作处理，得知选择第二个选项。在对话里听到的具体时间绝度不是正确选项。

长对话三 Q5-6 邀请场景

M: I’m thinking about going to the rock concert in the student’s center, will you join me?

W: Sorry, I don’t think I’ll go to the concert tonight. I’ll have to wait %$^”s call, and then prepare for the exam.

M: Are we having an exam tomorrow？

W: Yeah, Our class will having a math exam tomorrow morning, Did you forget it?

M：Oh, I don’t think I ‘ll go to the concert, either.

5. What is the woman going to do tonight?

A. Go to a concert. B. Phone her doctor. C. Prepare for an exam.

第五题选择C。此为邀请场景，男的主动邀，女的不愿去，八成因学习。“男生贪玩，女生好学”是高考听力的考试文化。

6. What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?

A. Teacher and student. B. Classmates. C. Doctor and patient.

第六题选B。两人谈论邀请和考试，这样的场景明显定位到同学关系。

长对话四 Q7-9 问路场景

M: Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the history museum?

W: Sure, go to the central Park, pass the high school, then turn left at Hilton Hotel, a 5 star hotel. It’s 2, oh no, 3 blocks from here.

M: Thank you, that sounds easy to find.

W: But it’s closed today. It’s not open on Saturday and Sunday, just on weekdays you know.

7. Where does the man want to go?

A. The history museum. B. The Central Park. C, The high school.

第七题选择A。第一题大答案在第一句尤其是问句定位，这种题目已经简单到无以复加的程度。

8. How far away is the place?

A. Two blocks. B. Three blocks. C. Five blocks.

第八题选择B。这题设计从口语语境角度看稍有新意，并且考到了blocks街区这个是用场景词汇。现在的听力录音不再是读台词般一成不变，而是模仿自然口语交流状况，出现大量语气词和口误，然后自我修复，从而揭示观点态度和重要细节信息，对话中的“It’s 2, oh no, 3 blocks from here…”就属这个范畴。考生记住，录音者口误然后马上自我更正，属于明显的语音提示，必有细节考点出现。

9. When is the place open?

A. From Monday to Friday.

B. Through the whole week.

C. On Saturday and Sunday.

第九题选A。结尾对时间的常规考察。这涉及到了西方生活方式，博物馆、图书馆、超市到周末不开门，常识可帮助我们定位到A选项。

长对话五Q10-12 车祸场景

M: Mr. Jackson had a car accident last night. His wife called this morning.

W: How terrible! He was supposed to go to London tomorrow. Is he all right?

M: Not really. He’ll be out of the office for a while. About one week in the hospital I think, and then another two weeks at home.

W: I guess his wife already know it. Well, I know his secretary will have to take on most of his work while he ‘s gone.

10. Why is Mr. Jackson out of the office?

A. He has been injured.

B. He has gone to London.

C. He is looking after his wife.

第十题选择A。一般高考听力车祸场景规律为“车损毁，人没事”，这里男主人公受伤不亲，似有反规律之嫌疑。开始和中间提到了Mr. Jackson出了车祸，然后提到he will be out of office foe a while,所以得知他伤得不轻。

11. How long will he probably be away from work?

A. One week. B. Two weeks. C. Three weeks.

第十一题选择C。先在医院呆一周，然后在家休养两周，简单相加就得知三周离岗，简单至极，侮辱湖南高考学生智商。

12. Who will do his work while he is away?

A. His wife. B. The boss. C. The secretary.

第十二题选择C。结尾出现的尾巴细节，所听即所选，并用I know 作为提示。

长对话六 Q13-15 饮食健康场景

M: Mary, can I sit here?

W: Sure, Man. What are you having for lunch? Let me see, and what’s in your plate? A…, pork and fried chicken again?

M: They are really delicious. And I cannot imagine a meal without meals.

W: You never eat vegetables. That’s not good for you. How’s your cold man, have you seen a doctor?

M: An, it’s nothing serious, and it’s not necessary to bother the doctor. I’m taking the medicine, and I’ll be well soon.

W: You’re so careless about your health.

M: Oh, do not speak to me like my doctor, I know what’s good for me.

W: Oh I finally understand Dr. Kevin’s lecture.

M: What do you mean?

W: He said men lives shorter than women, because they always pay no attention to their health.

13. Where are the two speakers?

A. In a dining hall. B. In a hospital. C. In a lecture room.

第十三题选择A。开头女孩的“What are you having for lunch?”可定位到餐厅场景。但选项A明显是Chinglish, 正确说法应当是Canteen 或 Cafeteria, hall为集会场所。

14. What did the man do?

A. He saw a doctor.

B. He took some medicine.

C. He had vegetables for lunch.

第十四题选择B。A和C的信息都在对话里被否定。女孩说“You never eat vegetables”, 把握对话里的绝对否定词。

15. What does the woman think the man should do?

A. Have meals regularly.

B. Go to Dr. Kevin's office.

C. Pay attention to his health.

第十五题选择C。女孩埋怨男生You’re so careless about your health.最后一句说女人命长是因为 pay attention to the health. 所以应当选择C。这是对话体力稍具人性化的一题。

Section B (7.5 marks)
