HSC Question 2 · 听力 Part B

Question 2, Text 1

FEMALE: 听众朋友们，欢迎收听“绿色城市”。今天我们谈谈近几年飞速发展的共享单车。

在很多城市的地铁站出入口和重要地标位置，都能见到排列整齐的共享单车。它为市民出行带来了许多便利，是解决“最后一公里”问题的理想方案。开车怕堵，走路嫌累……在纠结于选择哪种交通方式时，市民有了共享单车这一更便捷的选择。它不仅节省了市民的出行成本，还对城市的低碳、环保和可持续发展有着不可忽视的推动作用。据调查，共享单车出现后，在全国 50 座城市中，小汽车出行占总出行量的比例下降超过 3％。很多城市的空气质量都有不同程度的提高。北京使用共享单车后的拥堵程度比使用前下降了大约 7%。

另外，夜骑也成为一种很有趣的社会现象。一些人加班到深夜错过了末班车、饭后睡前锻炼身体、三五好友一时兴起骑车刷街，他们都会选择共享单车。骑行的意义从最初的“交通方式”开始，正在慢慢变成一种“生活方式”，带着人们探索自己的城市，感受城市的脉搏。

Question 2, Text 2

FEMALE: 听众朋友们，欢迎收听“绿色城市”。今天我们请来了市容办的王处长，和我们谈一谈共享单车给我们市带来的影响。

您好，王处长。我们市政府怎么看待共享单车？

MALE: 首先，我们肯定共享单车给我们市带来的积极影响。比如我们市的空气质量有所改观，交通堵塞得到减缓。

FEMALE: 但是为什么越来越多的市民对共享单车颇有微词呢？

MALE: 这与单车的停放、维护等一系列问题有很大关系。共享单车的口碑和形象在不到一年的时间里发生了很大的改变。大量闲置、被损坏的共享单车被堆在道路两侧，成千上万的单车被随意停放，侵占了公共空间，这些都成为我们城市治理的新难题。我们现在正在与单车制造商积极合作，寻求办法。比如，我们会鼓励企业设置电子围栏，也就是说在路边划出虚拟的停车位。当单车定位，检测并进入停车区域后，才可以上锁扣款。

FEMALE: 那么市政府如何解决废弃单车的处理问题呢？

MALE: 说实话，这个问题我们也很头疼。由于个人行为，共享单车容易受损，而且维修费非常高。这导致许多企业宁愿买新车都不愿花钱维修。在有些大城市，废单车目前已堆积成山，对市容和环境造成很坏的影响。我们正在向一些兄弟城市取经，希望尽快解决这个问题。

FEMALE: 希望我们市政府早日找到办法，让共享单车更健康地发展。谢谢王处长。

Question 2, Text 1\
听众朋友们，欢迎收听《青年之声》。随着经济高速发展，中国传统的处世之道在职场上面临着越来越严峻的挑战。新生代的年轻人认为“酒香不怕巷子深”已经过时了。“金子总会发光”的默默奉献虽然是一种美德，但是“好酒还要有好推销”。独一无二，与众不同才能体现人生价值。在工作表现上，他们不怕“枪打出头鸟”。他们个性张扬，敢想敢拼，即便不是最好也要成为最独特的那一个，他们的想法和做法与传统的“中庸”之道大相径庭。\
时下热门的电视节目，无论是职场节目还是综艺选秀都成为当代年轻人思想观念的缩影。他们在节目中与知名企业的总裁、明星导师唇枪舌战，与对手捉对厮杀，不妥协退让，不委曲求全。互联网时代的年轻人拥有更广阔的视野和更广泛的资源，支撑他们有足够的力量跳出传统的条条框框，在各个领域施展才华，不断追求个人价值，拓展自身生命的宽度和深度。对他们来说，传统的处世之道在职场上似乎已经失去了它存在的意义。

Question 2, Text 2\
小王 ： 小高，你的那个项目进展顺利吗？\
小高 ：
上周碰到了点小麻烦。多亏了老刘的点拨，姜还是老的辣。小王，你知道吗？他都快成我的偶像了！\
小王 ： 那个油腻大叔？你怎么突然转变态度了？\
小高 ：
以前我确实烦他，他总爱唠叨说他年轻的时候怎么帮师傅端茶、打杂什么的，说这是中国传统的师徒之道。\
小王 ： 都什么时代了，还讲论资排辈？\
小高 ：
仔细想想，这么做还是有道理的。端茶倒水其实不是伺候人，而是对师傅的尊重。师傅感受到的是我们的诚恳，传授给我们的却是他毕生的经验呀。\
小王 ： 可是我们部门的前辈都不爱搭理我，哼！\
小高 ：
你平常是不是太“高冷”了？你应该主动与前辈们沟通。即便做对了，也别骄傲。满招损，谦受益呀！老子说
：“水善利万物而不争”。\
小王 ： 可是我不争，别人也会争呀。\
小高 ：
老子说的“不争”并不表示要碌碌无为，他其实是赞成人要脚踏实地做好自己份内的事，别人自然会看到你的闪光点。\
小王 ： 又要低调，还要等别人发现自己的长处，好矛盾啊！\
小高 ：
咱们中国人讲究的是“中庸之道”，既不张扬也不消极，尽心尽力做好本份。这种折衷的态度有助于处理好职场各种关系，既不会太高调引起别人的反感，也不会无所作为成了他人的累赘。\
小王 ： 看来并不是所有的传统都会过时，我要好好补上这堂课！

**MALE: 听众朋友们，欢迎收听“两性世界”。今天我们谈谈女性角色的变化。\
二十一世纪的女性拥有与男性平等的教育权利。她们在科学、文化、艺术、体育等各方面的能力得到充分发展。与男性同等的学历使她们在就业的时候拥有和男性一样多的选择。她们参与到各项社会事务中，并从中积累经验，展示能力与才华，受到社会的肯定和认可，从而为更多的女性提供了就业自由的可能性。\
随着社会地位的提高，女性变得更加独立，事业在女性生命中所占的地位越来越重要。她们不再简单地把就业看作谋生手段，而是把它当作实现个人价值的一种途径。她们在工作中“巾帼不让须眉”，在各个岗位中都可见她们靓丽的身影。\
除了社会地位的提高，女性在家中的话语权也越来越大。她们和丈夫家务分工，一起照顾孩子。可以说21世纪的女性已经彻底被解放。

Question 2, Text 2\
MALE: 周经理，你今天看起来情绪不高啊？\
FEMALE:
老刘，你好。唉，太累了。昨天七点多到家，才开始做饭。吃完饭洗完碗已经快九点了。然后再检查儿子作业，陪他读书。上床睡觉已经是
11 点多的事情了。\
MALE: 你孩子的爸爸不帮忙吗？\
FEMALE:
帮忙？哼！他不气我就好了。他认为好老婆就应该顾家，好妈妈就应该管孩子。他只要努力工作就行了。\
MALE: 但是你工作也很努力啊。\
FEMALE:
是啊。我每天和他一样朝九晚五，有时还要加班加点。回到家已经筋疲力尽。可是回到家，我立即就要进入主妇与母亲的角色。洗菜做饭，陪孩子读书，还有总也做不完的家务活等着我。工作上我从来不偷懒，和你们男同事一样努力。我真的感觉太累了。凭什么我既要工作，又要管家？\
MALE: 你有没有想过放弃工作，只做家庭主妇。\
FEMALE:
我不想放弃我的事业。我在大学读的是人力资源，现在做人事部经理。我觉得我学有所用，我想不断提升自己，体现我的个人价值。而且，如果我真的不工作了，我老公的工资怎么养活一家三口？相比之下，你们男人不做家务，不管孩子，一心只为工作很容易被社会接受。我们已婚女人往往面临工作和家庭的双重压力，身兼数职。你根本不理解。\
MALE:
我当然理解。我懂得全职妈妈的辛苦，所以我每天和太太一起做家务，一起管孩子。\
FEMALE:
希望你是一个真正的暖男，不要嘴上说一套，背地里做一套。在今天的社会，大男子主义依然盛行！

**MALE:
大家好，很高兴参加《你说我说》节目。作为一名90后，我想为网红正名。\
每个时代都有它的红人。网红不仅仅指那些有颜值会搞笑或者在电商平台上带货的小哥哥和小姐姐，而且包括行业专家。比如一些网红教授把国学讲得深入浅出，让普通网民也可理解。再比如，在疫情中，一些网红医生，通过幽默风趣的语言，让大家意识到自我保护的重要性。除此之外，网红还包括一些知名博主，他们通过博客创作，引人关注。\
网红们通过传播自己独特的、个性化的图片、视频和文字，让受众印象深刻。有些网红成立了自己的公司，获得了投资，在促进新经济产业的发展、增加就业等方面都发挥了积极和有效的作用。\
网红们不仅让我们的生活更轻松更多彩，而且对经济发展有积极的贡献。所以说，他们是精神物质双丰收。

FEMALE: 国华，你在看什么文章，一脸的不屑。\
MALE:
你好，元元。我在看一篇关于网红现象的文章。真是世风日下啊。居然很多人热捧网红。\
FEMALE: 偏见。网红怎么啦。我要是漂亮点儿，我也想做网红。\
MALE: 肤浅！很多网红就是一幅漂亮的皮囊，靠颜值吃饭，他们老了怎么办？\
FEMALE:
很多职业不都是吃青春饭吗？运动员，舞蹈家，建筑工。再说了，他们年龄大了，可以转行啊。谁规定一辈子只做一个职业？\
MALE:
问题是，运动员舞蹈家都有一技之长，退役后有资本转行。可是网红有什么才能？\
FEMALE: 狭隘！
很多网红不仅有颜值，而且有才艺。比如四川的一位女网红，心灵手巧，染布，做美食，建竹屋，全是一人搞定。她拍的视频，没有一句花里胡哨的介绍，但是她圈粉无数。很多西方人就是因为她，爱上了中国文化。\
MALE:
但是像这样有正能量的网红真是凤毛麟角。很多的网红就是靠标新立异来吸引大量粉丝，靠关注打赏，从而获得收入。不劳而获！这和那些好吃懒做的乞丐有什么区别。瞧不起他们！\
FEMALE:
年轻人喜欢标新立异和与众不同，这是时代的特点。现在的年轻人喜欢那些敢于表达自己价值观的网红。可以说，网红丰富了我们的精神文化生活，让我们的生活更有乐趣。\
MALE:
丰富？我看他们是在糟蹋我们的精神文化生活吧？他们使我们的文化越来越资本化，越来越享乐化，否定奋斗、情怀、信仰、奉献等价值理念。网红对他们的粉丝，尤其是青少年粉丝产生了很负面的影响，导致青少年在价值选择、消费方式、文化认同等各个方面都与主流的社会价值产生了冲突。有些青少年不利用大好青春安心读书，而是整天做白日梦，希望自己以后也成为受人瞩目的网红。\

FEMALE:
大家好，欢迎来到《观察者》频道。今天我想跟大家聊聊近年来蓬勃发展的外卖送餐文化。外卖在带来便利的同时，却对年轻人生活能力和消费观的培养产生了不利因素，也潜移默化地改变了传统的家庭餐桌文化。

虽然外卖起初让忙于工作的年轻人下班后很快吃上热饭，省时又省力。可是，外卖送餐的流行引发了他们的惰性。许多人都不愿意学习做饭，只靠外卖来填饱肚子，然后用空闲的时间打游戏。再加上常叫外卖很费钱，过去的年轻人连下个馆子都舍不得。显然当今的年轻人丢掉了勤俭节约的优良传统。

自古以来，中国的餐桌文化是一家人交流沟通、联系情感，培养传统价值观不可缺少的一部分。可是，如今外卖成了有些年轻人生活的常态，电视机开着，每个人吃着各自点的一份餐，有的更是把盘子带进自己的房间，以便追剧或和朋友聊天，家庭就餐只是走个过场。

老人们说外卖文化正在毁掉我们的下一代。听众朋友们，你们怎么看？

MALE:
小丽，快过年了，我们俩工作这么忙，年夜饭都没有时间准备，怎么办？\
FEMALE: 别担心，我已经在网上订好了。\
MALE: 年夜饭订外卖啊！？那质量怎么样？\
FEMALE:
你不知道啊，现在年夜饭订外卖很流行。餐馆专门出了订制菜单，都是招牌菜，质量绝对没问题，很好吃，还能送餐到家。\
MALE: 这么说，外卖省时又省力，不出家门就能尝到各种美食。那价格怎么样？\
FEMALE:
这些餐厅都是专门做外卖的，店面小，租金少成本低，价格十分公道。即便送餐到家也还是很便宜。\
MALE: 那听上去不错啊，看来外卖是一个挺有发展的行业。\
FEMALE:
所以现在很多年轻人都在做外卖送餐，有的自己创业做点餐网络平台，有的甚至辞去了朝九晚五的工作去送外卖，听说收入也不错。\
MALE: 嗯，这不但方便了人们的生活，还给年轻人提供了很多的就业机会。\
FEMALE:
是的。你知道吗？咱们的邻居小王前段时间下岗了，做了外卖员。他说原来在公司每天都是定岗定位，工作时间也不自由，还只能拿固定工资。现在做了外卖骑手，工作时间自由，收入也是多劳多得。只要肯吃苦，赚得比白领还多。\
MALE:
你说的对。而且在当今这样的社情下，叫外卖对于那些不方便出门就餐的人真是既便利又安全。

Question 2, Text 1\
FEMALE: 各位听众：\
近来，世界上出现了一种新常态，就是居家工作变得十分普遍。\
首先，在网络发达普及的今天，居家工作模式，既省时又便利。员工省去了花在上下班路上的时间，不出家门同样可以完成工作任务。其次，由于不必每天匆忙赶路，减去疲劳，上班族更能集中精力进行工作。同时，也更便于他们照顾家中的老人和孩子，做到工作家庭两不误。这种工作模式更容易使员工的生活取得平衡，身心更加健康。\
居家工作的模式也给雇主带来了好处。由于雇员可以轮流上班，雇主可以减少不必要的租金费用和日常开销。另外，由于大家在家工作，减少了病毒的传播机会，控制了患病员工的人数，有效的保障了工作场所的安全；而且缺勤率的降低，也保证了工作的正常运作。\
由于居家工作模式给雇员和雇主都带来了不少好处，看来这种现象还会继续下去。

FEMALE: 老李，真怀念居家工作的日子。\
MALE: 小王，我可一点都不怀念那种不正常的上班模式。在家工作有什么好处？\
FEMALE:
好处多着呢。首先我不用早起挤车上班了，可以好好享受早餐，然后再开始工作。\
MALE:
虽说不用早起赶路，但是一醒来，就得查看电子邮件，还得参加一个接一个的网上会议。上下班都得盯着电脑，一天从原来的八小时工作时间，变成了“全天”
工作。\
FEMALE:
但是，我觉得在家工作更自由、更有效。大家有什么要商量，网上就能进行，工作也不会耽误。在二十一世纪的今天，用不着出门就能一网通天下。\
MALE:
你说的似乎有点道理。但是，工作中有很多重要的事情需要我们面对面的交流和沟通。各自在家工作，无法真正了解彼此的意图、心态和目的，影响了团队合作精神的发挥。\
FEMALE: 可是，网络还是可以帮助人们彼此了解。\
MALE:
网络再进步，也取代不了人与人之间的关系。回去上班，同事一起拼搏，共同进退，并不是在家工作所能够做到的。还有，请看看附近不少的餐馆、商店，因为顾客减少经营不下去，甚至关闭停业。要是居家工作的情形再继续下去，社会的正常运转就更难恢复，最后还不是影响到我们每个人的生活？

Question 2, Text 1

FEMALE:
大家好，欢迎来到《女性生活》节目。中国传统文化注重宗族观念和血缘传承，孩子随父姓是上千年的约定俗成。然而，随着现代社会女性地位的日益提高，有些人开始呼吁孩子随母姓，有些家庭甚至出现了争夺孩子冠名权的现象。

提倡孩子跟母姓的人认为，“男尊女卑”，“重男轻女”的封建思想早已被抛弃，孩子随母姓是男女平等的体现和女性应得的权利。在一个家庭里，丈夫赞成孩子跟妻子的姓，这表现了他对妻子的爱和尊重，对妻子十月怀胎辛苦的理解和感激，这样能促进家庭关系的和谐，有利于孩子的健康成长，也是社会进步的体现。

但也有人觉得孩子随父姓更具有社会认同感，贸然改变会造成家庭中不必要的矛盾。有些老人更是担心，孙辈跟了儿媳的姓，自家不就断了香火？自己的儿子不就成了“倒插门”吗？

虽然中国婚姻法规定，孩子可以随父姓，可以随母姓，父母双方对新生儿享有冠名平等权，但是对于很多家庭和父母来说，这又不是一个简单的问题。亲爱的听众，欢迎你们来信探讨这个话题。

MALE: 小红，你马上要生二宝了，怎么还生气呢？

FEMALE:
李强，你来评评理，我和丈夫都是独生子，结婚时两家就商量好了，我们生两个孩子，一个跟爸爸姓，一个跟妈妈姓。我大女儿就跟了爸爸姓。但是我公婆知道我二胎是男孩后，马上就反悔了，非要我儿子也跟他家姓。

MALE: 你公婆一定还是老观念，想要孙子延续香火。

FEMALE:
这都什么时代了，还重男轻女，女儿难道就不能传宗接代了？再说，我父母还不高兴呢，两个孩子都跟他家姓，太不公平了。

MALE: 有些人可能不知道，婚姻法规定，孩子跟父姓或者跟母姓都可以。

FEMALE:
是啊，法律都提倡男女平等，可是我公婆觉得孙子不跟他家姓太没面子了，亲戚朋友都会看不起他们。他们还威胁，如果孙子不跟他家姓，将来就不能继承财产。这太过分了，我这么辛苦生两个孩子，没有一个跟我姓，难道我就是生育的工具吗？在自己家里都得不到尊重，这样的日子怎么过得下去？

MALE:
小红，还是跟老人慢慢讲道理，孩子无论跟谁姓，都是自家的孩子，无论男女，也都是血脉的延续，争来争去，只会伤害家人的感情，对孩子的成长也不好。我听说现在有的父母把双方的姓连在一起给孩子起双姓的名字，这也许是个解决的办法呢？

FEMALE:
吴经理，我知道人工智能在很多领域有优势，可是我担心它会影响我们的工作，甚至取代我们。

培训虽然好，但并不是每个人都能轻松地掌握新的技能。有些员工可能会因为压力大，对工作失去信心。

MALE:
其实，人工智能也在创造许多新的岗位，比如数据分析师、人工智能应用管理师等职位，这些新的职位可以帮助公司提高市场竞争力和经济效益，员工也会随之受益。我们希望大家能用积极的心态看待问题，不要把人工智能当作威胁。

FEMALE:
我明白您的意思，但还是希望公司在推进人工智能使用的过程中，能更多关注员工的实际感受，帮助我们顺利过渡。

Question 2, Text 2

FEMALE: 亲爱的同学们 ：

感谢 “大学生未来论坛”
的邀请。今天，我的演讲题目是《人工智能带来的机遇和挑战》。

我认为，人工智能的快速发展为我们带来了前所未有的机遇。首先，人工智能可以为我们量身定制学习路径，实现个性化学习。其次，智能教学助手让复杂的理论学习更加直观和生动，并提高了学习效率。此外，人工智能还催生了许多新兴领域，如数据科学和智能制造，为我们未来的职业发展提供了更多可能。

然而，机遇也伴随着挑战。随着人工智能的普及，许多行业正受到冲击，不少传统岗位面临被取代的风险。这意味着我们毕业后将面临更激烈的竞争。为此，我们需要不断学习新技能，掌握跨学科知识，发展创造力，主动适应快速变化的社会需求。

在这个充满变革的时代，我们不仅要运用人工智能提升自我，更应以开放的心态拥抱变化，积极探索，为人类社会创造更加光明的未来。

谢谢大家！
