发音练习——连读音
试问本身一下,为甚么翻翻对话原文都能大白意思,但考生老是在部分大量丢分?那是因为我们对英语这门说话没有一个充分的环境培养,对这个西方的声波符号不敷敏感,关头在于我们对老外的发音不敷熟谙,而常常就是所谓的连读音让我们跟不上趟,弄得一头雾水。连读音产生在前面单词词尾辅音与后面单词词首元音的时辰,你需要多听多练,天然会如鱼得水。

unit 1 收得领地Day 16 牛刀小试—暗示、转折、引申类概述
牛刀小试——暗示、转折、引申类概述
这类题通常为按照对话两边谈话所触及的内容,问话人发问某一方对某事、或人、某物的态度和观点,其特点是考生没法从对话中直接获得答案,而是透过对话内容的暗示、转折或引申揣度出精确答案。所以此类题难度最大,积年出题频率也很高。做这类题要非分出格当真,尽快抓住四个选项的共同点,对所听的内容进行回纳、阐发、 判定。
暗示题2004.1
M: I like the color of this shirt, do you have a larger size?
W: This is the largest in this color, other colors come in all sizes.
Q: What does the woman imply?
A) The man could buy a shirt of a different color.
B) The size of the shirt is all right for the man.
C) The size the man wants will arrive soon.
D) The man could come some time later.
【解析】 经由过程A、B、C三个选项都有关于shirt的大小或色彩,所以你应当顿时联想起色彩类:红red、蓝blue、绿green、黄yellow及尺寸大large、小small等词汇,在原文中密斯表白这类色彩的shirt是最大码,其他色彩的有各类尺寸,弦外之音:男士可以选择其他的色彩,所以选A。其他选项与原文不符。
转折题
W: The letter we received yesterday says that John is expecting to arrive here at six o’clock.
M: I hope so. But I’m afraid that we won’t be able to meet him at the airport.
Q: What can we learn from this conversation?
A) We received John’s letter at six.
B) John well arrive by train.
C) The man will meet John at the airport.
D) John is expected to be here by plane.
【瞻看】 经由过程选项阐发这题是环绕John要来,是坐飞机还是坐火车,有没有人往接一系列话题。
【解析】 原文中密斯说到昨天收到John的信说6点会来,故解除A,男士措辞中but后面是此题的核心:他不克不及往机场往接John,所以选D,B、C不攻自破。
引申题
W: Tom! I thought you wouldn’t come for this party.
M: Such a party animal like me wouldn’t come? Wild horses couldn’t keep me away!
Q: What does the man mean?
A) He is an animal. B) He came to this party on a horse.
C) No doubt he will come. D) He hates wild horse.
【瞻看】 经由过程选项阐发此题关于he往否,呈现animal、horse让人匪夷所思。是不是是很怪,好好听题吧。
【解析】 密斯说没想到Tom会往晚会,Tom答复说wild horse couldn’t keep me away是句谚语,意思是野马也挡不住我来,言下之意,他必定会来,所以选C,其他都不对。

1. A) He gets nervous very easily. B) He is an inexperienced speaker.

暗 示 题

C) She would like to have a copy of the article.
D) She doesn’t want to take the trouble to read the article.

unit 1 收得领地Day 18 转 折 题
转 折 题
转折题看似比较难,弄的考生摸不着脑筋,实在你要抓住其内涵的规律便可水到渠成。所谓转折,代表意思的改变,常常答案关头线索的地方在转折词的后面。当你听到原文中呈现显性转折词but(四级呈现频率最高,考生应重视其在句子里面的发音连读和爆破), or , otherwise , however , anyhow 等,及隐性如:In fact, to tell the truth, frankly speaking, to be honest, sounds great, I’d love to, I’m afraid to, That’s great等,就需对前面的信息180度大转弯,再来判定精确答案。
【例1】 2000.6
W: Did you visit the Television Tower when you had your vacation in Shanghai last summer?
M: I couldn’t make it last June. But I finally visited it two months later. I plan to visit it again sometime next year.

A) He saw the big tower he visited on TV .
B) He has visited the TV tower twice.
C) He has visited the TV tower once.
D) He will visit the TV tower in June.
【瞻看】 选项是关于谁往了TV tower没有,往过几次的干扰。
【解析】 男士说客岁6月,没有旅游成电视塔,很多同窗看见否定就掉落进这个圈套(couldn’t),后面but转折的话才是要点,提到两个月后往了,打算来岁还往一次,所以实际只旅游了一次。是以选C。
【例2】 2001.6
M: How did you like yesterday’s play?
W: Generally speaking, it was quite good. The part of the secretary was played wonderfully, but I think the man who played the boss was too dramatic to be realistic.

C) He performed better than the secretary D) He exaggerated his part.
【解析】 关于全部play密斯感觉quite good,不要在这里被骗。but 后面的是关头,“the boss”的角色太戏剧化,不像是真的,申明表演过甚。所以选D。其他选项都相反。
