2018年广东省高考英语听说考试真题C
For thousands of years, human beings have been fascinated by whales. It is uncertain when, how or why the ancestors of the whale gradually moved into a purely aquatic environment. Freed from the gravity of the land the whales evolved to become the true ocean beings of the planet. For most of our shared history, our relationship with the whales has been a distant one. If a memory remains behind the eyes of these gentle creatures. it is rarely if ever shown. Rather our first furtive attempts to enter the whale's domain seem greeted with curiosity and a longing for communication and understanding.

Since then, she often took the camera with her and enjoyed taking photos wherever she went. One afternoon, when she was taking photos by the window of her room on the second floor, she noticed something strange through the camera. She saw two strangers breaking into a house in the neighborhood whose owners were on holiday overseas. Soon, she realized they were thieves. Mary immediately shouted and asked her father to call the police. At the same time, she used her camera to take a lot of photos of the thieves. When the police arrived, the thieves had already run away. Mary showed the police the photos she had taken. Some of them caught the thieves’ faces very clearly.
