Ⅰ.发音规律
英式英语和美式英语在发音上的主要区别
就发音而言,英式发音以RP(Received Pronunciation)为标准发音,美式发音以GA(General American)为标准发音。除此之外,还有一些比较具体的差异。
1.元音
(1)元音字母a在部分字母前面时,英音发/ɑː/,美音发 /æ/。如:
dance 英 /dɑːns/ 美 /dæns/
after 英 /'ɑːftə(r)/ 美 /'æftər/
fast 英 /fɑːst/ 美 /fæst/
path 英 /pɑːθ/ 美 /pæθ/
(2)元音字母o在重读闭音节中,英音发/ɒ/,美音发/ɑː/。如:
hot 英 /hɒt/ 美 /hɑːt/
box 英 /bɒks/ 美 /bɑːks/
doctor 英 /'dɒktə(r)/ 美 /'dɑːktər/
(3)在/n/、/d/、/t/后面,英音里面的/juː/在美音里读作/uː/。如:
duty 英 /'djuːti/ 美 /'duːti/
nuclear 英 /'njuːkliə/ 美 /'nuːkliə/
student 英 /'stjuːd(ə)nt/ 美 /'stuːd(ə)nt/
2.辅音
辅音字母r在far、car、park等单词中,英音不发音,而在美音中发卷舌音/r/。如:
far 英/fɑː(r)/ 美/fɑːr/
park 英/pɑːk/ 美/pɑːrk/
reader 英/'riːdə(r)/ 美/'riːdər/
Ⅱ.听力策略
关注所听内容中重要代词的指代意义。代词有人称代词(I、you、he、she、it、we、you、they及其宾格);物主代词(my、your、his、her、its、our、their、mine、yours、hers、ours、theirs);指示代词(this、that、these、those)等。这些代词虽然看起来简单,但要弄清楚它们的具体指代对象却不容易,而这恰恰也是影响理解的关键。因为代词指的是前面提到的某物或某人,所以留意单词的上下文可以帮助你理解代词具体指的是什么。
Ⅲ.听力文本
To some students,it seems that the only foreign language to learn is English.There are,however,nearly 7,000 languages in the world.After Chinese,the language with the most native language speakers isn't English—it's Spanish! Learning English is very useful,but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language,if possible.
There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language.Many students choose to study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN.As 1.they think 2.it means better job chances in the future.The UN has six official languages:Arabic,Chinese,English,French,Russian,and Spanish.3.They are spoken by around 2.8 billion people as 4.their native or second languages.
Some students,though,choose to study a language because of family or friends.One American girl chose to learn Danish because 5.her grandparents were from Denmark.When 6.she was little,7.her grandpa used to read letters to 8.her in Danish from their relatives in Denmark.Another young lady started learning French because 9.she had several friends from African countries where French is spoken.
What do you think?Which other language would you choose to study and why?
Ⅰ.交际策略
