Ⅰ.练发音促听说
本单元主要帮助学生学习并了解英式英语和美式英语在发音上的主要区别。
英式英语和美式英语在发音上的差异主要反映在元音字母a、o和辅音字母r、t上。
1.元音字母a在部分字母前面时,英音发/ɑː/,美音发/æ/,例如: bath、fast等;

2.元音字母o在重读闭音节中,英音发/ɒ/,美音发/ɑː/,例如: dot、crop等;
3.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/;
4.英音中的/ʌ/在美音中读为/ə/;
5.字母t可出现在单词的词首、词中和词尾三个部位。当字母t位于词首或词尾时,美音与英音的发音相同,例如tight[taIt];而当其位于词中时,英音中的发音和在词首、词尾时一致,美音中还有另一种发音,即由舌尖弹动发出的弹舌音,听起来像一个非常轻的/d/,例如:better、city、letter、little等;
6.此外,还有单词重音的区别,以及同一个单词发完全不同的音等。

[听力原文]
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!① 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 they think it means better job chances in the future.② The UN has six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. They are spoken by around 2.8 billion people as 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 her grandparents were from Denmark.③ When she was
