Ⅰ.练发音促听说
连 读
本单元主要帮助学生复习连读的发音规则。一般来说,相邻的两个单词属于同一意群时,前一词末尾的某些音素和后一词词首的某些音素可以连起来读。连读在语言交际中比较常见,正确、自然的连读是语言流畅性的重要体现。以下是几种常见的连读情况。
返回导航
1.“辅音+元音”型连读
如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾,后一个词是以元音开头,这就要将辅音与元音连起来读。
返回导航
2.“r/re+元音”型连读
如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾,后一个词是以元音开头,这时的r或re不但要发/r/,而且还要与后面的元音连起来读。
返回导航
3.“元音+元音”型连读
元音与元音的连读实际上是在元音之间插入半元音/j/或/w/,从而使纯元音音节之间的过渡变得自然、流畅,读起来更加上口。
