M: Lisa, you’re English, but you live here. What do you love about Copenhagen?
W: It has everything big cities offer — cafes, theaters, museums — but it is still relaxing and manageable. Unlike London, you don’t feel constant pressure here.
M: Was this lifestyle why you first came?
W: No. I originally came for a three-month project at a law firm. After finishing it, they offered me a permanent job. I took it and stayed.

W: Dear listeners. The song we’ve just heard was made with an AI version of Jenny’s singing voice.M: Yeah. Earlier this year, Jenny announced that she’d let anybody make a song using her AI voice as long as they were entitled and shared their profits with her. And in just a few weeks, more than three hundred new songs were created using her AI voice.W: Incredible! Just imagine: Jenny may have been at home, drinking a glass of wine, while her AI clone voice worked hard to sing her songs. This could be an attractive new business model for a pop star.M: Indeed. But some of our listeners called to say they want to hear Jenny’s real voice. Now let’s play one of her greatest hits: “Show Me Your Love”.此篇长对话改编自NPR（National Public Radio美国国家公共电台）的一篇科技方面的文章：Voicing concerns: The future of AI voice replacement。这篇报道聚焦AI 语音克隆 、语音合成技术的现状、商业可能性与各类现实隐忧。网址如下： https://www.npr.org/2023/06/08/1181131631/voicing-concerns-the-future-of-ai-voice-replacementM: Dr. Evans, you just said that these ancient texts are actually the recipes from ancient Babylonia. Can you tell us more?
W: Ancient Babylonia is home to many of the things that we use in our cooking today. I bet, about fifty percent of the energy you need every day comes from vegetables or animals that originated in this area.
M: Why have these texts taken so long to come to light?
W: These ancient texts have been known since the 1920s, but were thought to be medical texts. In the 1940s, Mary Hussey, an American scholar, suggested that they might be about food. But people didn’t believe her until French author, Jean Bottéro, in the 1980s was asked to write an article about cooking in the past. He had heard about the texts, so he went to Yale University, and found out that they were indeed about food.
这篇长对话改编自NPR的一段采访：Eat Like The Ancient Babylonians: Researchers Cook Up Nearly 4,000-Year-Old Recipes。这篇报道介绍了一支跨学科研究团队依据耶鲁巴比伦藏品里四块刻有楔形文字的古巴比伦泥板，还原、亲手复刻了近 4000 年前美索不达米亚的古老菜肴，这也是现存已知最古老的食谱记录。原文完整访谈文本链接：
https://www.npr.org/transcripts/779930201 Before we begin today’s experiment, let’s review the lab rules. First, safety glasses must be worn at all times, even if you’re only watching. Second, never mix chemicals unless the instructions tell you to do so. Today we’re using a strong acid, which can cause serious burns if it touches your skin. If any chemical container is knocked over, don’t panic. Tell me immediately and I’ll handle the cleanup. Also, keep your hair tied back and avoid wearing loose clothes. We will work in pairs. One person will handle the tools while the other records the data. Switch roles after every three trials to ensure everyone gets practice. Remember, the goal is accurate data, not speed. If you finish early, do not start a new experiment. Instead, clean your workspace thoroughly. Any questions? No? All right. Let’s have a safe and productive class.这篇独白是老师在实验前讲解实验室规则，包含安全要求、分组安排以及提前完成后的注意事项。原文出自Biology for Life，是面向中学生的免费生物教学网站，由美国中学教师搭建，本页专门讲解科学探究的安全规范。原文链接：https://www.biologyforlife.com/isd-safety-contract.html不难看出，高考英语听力的素材都取自海外真实媒体和教学资源，经过命题组的改编打磨，最终呈现在试卷之上。溯源知来路，练习有方向。愿大家勤听多练，自信应考。
