托福听说训练之(综合练习)

by XIAOLAI on 2008/12/11

迅速模仿托福听力的朗读强调,其实并不是特别难。分如下几步处理就可以很快地把握重点:

  1. 分辨被强读的词都有那些?它们的音调分别是什么?有没有被强读的单词带着明显相对更高的音高?
  2. 被弱读的单词,其中的那些元音发生了明显的变化,向/ə/靠拢?
  3. 那些地方被连读了,前后各个音节的重音在哪儿
  4. 有没有/t/、/k/、/p/之类的辅音失爆?另外,还有那些词尾的辅音因后面跟着辅音开头的单词而只有停顿听不到声音?
  5. 有没有被浊化的/t/存在?
  6. 一句话是不是一口气读完的,如果不是,在哪里有着明显的停顿?(气群的划分)

反复听每一句话,尝试着回答以上的各个问题,而后在文本上作出相应的记号——把手中的文本标记成乐谱一样的东西,而后就可以刻意地模仿。

以下是对一篇完整的托福听力文章的分析:

Community service is an important component of education here at our university.

We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate.

A new community program called “One On One” helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind.

You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching — that is, tutoring in math and English.

You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester.

You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both.

Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.

Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors

– he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities.

He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.

You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time.

It looks good on your resume, too — showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community.

If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week.
