一、语音技能:重读与非重读音节及发音规律
1.重读与非重读音节
(1)在双音节和多音节词中读音特别响亮的音节,就是重读音节。除开重读音节外,其他就是非重读音节。
(2)重音符号为 ˈ,标注在重读音节前左上方。
(3)次重读符号为 ˌ,标注在重读音节前左下方。
(4)单音节词做重读处理,但不标重读符号。
2.重读的规律
(1)单音节都重读,但不标出重读符号。
who /huː/ ten /ten/
(2)双音节词的第一个音节(即倒数第二个)通常是重读音节。
many /ˈmeni/ teacher /ˈtiːtʃə(r)/
(3)有前缀的双音节词,前缀单独算一个音节,重音在前缀的后一个音节上。
reset /ˌriːˈset/ apply /əˈplaI/
(4)多音节词通常在倒数第三个音节重读。
elephant /ˈelIfənt/ certificate /səˈtIfIkeIt/
(5)以-ic,tion结尾的单词,重音在倒数第二个音节上。
picnic /ˈpIknIk/ attention /əˈtenʃn/

M:Our earth is so polluted that animals' natural habitats are destroyed.
W:It is true.More and more species will be extinct in the near future.
M:So we have to do something about it.
W:But how?
M:Well, there are many things we can do.For example, we could recycle plastic bottles rather than throw them around.
W:Yes! I remember that our teacher told us to recycle waste paper.

二、听力技法微指导:归纳演绎
人们在谈话、演说时都会有一个中心、主题,否则,谈话或演说就会成为胡言乱语,失去了所要表达的意义。主题、中心与事实、细节是相辅相成的。抓住了主题、中心,有助于对事实或细节的把握;反过来,抓住了事实或细节,又有利于对中心、主题的归纳。因此,考生必须具备归纳演绎的能力。
一般来说,对话或独白与短文一样,虽比较自由、简洁,但都会有一个主题句。根据主题句这一线索来对听力材料进行整体理解,从而可以进一步准确理解说话者的目的、意图。同时,根据主题句这一线索又能更快、更准确地理解对话或独白的主旨或中心。
主题句有时位于对话或独白的开头,后面的话都是用来说明前面这一主题的细节或事实;有时,主题句又位于对话或独白的结尾,对前面的事实或细节进行归纳总结。因此,在听力过程中,要特别注意听对话或独白的开头和结尾。
[典例]What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

B.An important tool of the British government.
C.The principal news agency in every count
