Ⅱ.听力填空(精听训练)

(Ⅰ)Listen to the conversation on P38 again and fill in the blanks with the words you hear.

William：Excuse me，do you speak English？I’m looking for the Confucius Temple，but I’m not good at maps—they’re my Achilles’ heel!

Xiao Kong：Oh，hello，yes.Come with me—I’m going to the temple right now.By the way，what does “Achilles’ heel” mean?

William：Oh，it means that something is my weakness—I’m really bad with maps！So do you know much about Confucius？He’s one of 1.my favourite philosophers.He was such a wise man.

Xiao Kong：Oh，yes.I was born here.In fact，I believe I am a descendant of Confucius himself.

William：No way，you’re pulling my leg，right？So how do you know you’re related to Confucius？Didn’t he live over 2,500 years ago?

Xiao Kong：Yes，but 2.his family tree is well recorded.He has over three million descendants.Sorry again，what does “pulling my leg” mean?

William：Oh，sorry，it means to joke with someone.Anyway，so you’re actually going to the temple to pay respects to your relative?

Xiao Kong：Well，yes.But I’m also meeting my study group there.We are doing a research project on Confucius’ ideas on 3.education.You know，Confucius was a great educator，and he had many great ideas about education.For example，he talked about the relationship 4.between learning and reflecting.He believed that learning without reflecting leads to confusion...Oh，look，the temple is just over there.

William：Oh，great！What’s that big building over there?

Xiao Kong：Oh，that’s the famous Dacheng Hall.You know，it’s so well-respected in Qufu that no other building in the city can be taller than it.

William：Wow，now that’s respect.That’s a little bit like my hometown—Stratford-upon-Avon.

Xiao Kong：Wait，you mean where Shakespeare was from？What a coincidence—Confucius and Shakespeare，two of the greatest minds in history！I really want to visit the UK—I’m really interested in 5.British history and culture.

William：Oh，that’s great！So later we can go for a cup of tea and have a chat about it.And it would be great if you could take me somewhere to 6.get my watch fixed.

Xiao Kong：OK，no problem！So come and meet my study group—we can tell you all about the temple.And how long are you staying in Qufu？I can show you the Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion as well...

William：Really？That’s so kind！I need all the help I can get—I’m like a fish out of water!

(Ⅱ)Listen to the conversation on P43 again and fill in the blanks with the words you hear.

Xiao Yan：Hi，Paul.I’m sorry to hear you’re leaving tomorrow.So what did you make of Pingyao?

Paul：Well，to be honest，when I first arrived，I was a little 7.disappointed.I had expected something different.But then I walked into the old city.I was so 8.amazed! It was like walking into history.So many 9.beautiful buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties...

Xiao Yan：Yes，Pingyao has a long history—over 2,000 years.It used to be a very important 10.banking centre in China.

Paul：Yes，so I visited the Rishengchang Bank and learnt all about the Jin Businessmen.I’ve got to say though，it wasn’t 11.as big as I had expected.But it was still interesting to learn about 12.what banks were like almost 200 years ago.

Xiao Yan：Oh，well，what about the Ming-Qing Street—that’s pretty big.Some of the snacks there are amazing!

Paul：Oh，that place，yes.But I had no idea there would be 13.so many tourists! So I decided to leave and ride out to Shuanglin Temple.

Xiao Yan：Oh，cool，that’s one of my 14.favourite places! It’s so peaceful out there.

Paul：Yeah，that place is really quiet.And some of those sculptures—wow! I couldn’t believe 15.how big and lifelike they were.

Xiao Yan：Yes，they’re amazing.So today you walked along the city wall，right?

Paul：Unfortunately，no.I just didn’t have the time.

Xiao Yan：Wow，I can’t believe you didn’t see the wall! You have to stay longer，Paul.There’s so much more of Pingyao’s 16.history to see.

Paul：Oh，don’t worry，I’ll be back in Turtle City one day—I just can’t get enough of those beef noodles!

Ⅲ.读音规则解读

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、自然地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。

1．辅音＋元音：相邻的两个词中，前一个词以辅音结尾，后一个词以元音开头时，一般将辅音和元音连起来读。如：

Look a\s\do9(︶)t the photos.

Add e\s\do9(︶)xamples o\s\do9(︶)f powerful prepositions in E\s\do9(︶)nglish.

2．r/re＋元音：前一个词以-r或-re结尾，后一个词以元音开头，此时r或re要发/r/音，并与其后的元音连读。如：

There a\s\do9(︶)re many kinds.

3．元音＋元音：前一个单词以/ɪ/或/iː/结尾，后一个单词以元音开头时，添加/j/后连读；前一个单词以/ʊ/或/uː/结尾，后一个单词以元音开头时，添加/w/后连读。如：I agree./aɪjə\s\do9(︶)'ɡriː/

Go out of the room./'ɡəʊw'a\s\do9(︶)ʊt ə\s\do9(︶)v ðə 'ruːm/

温馨提示： 连读的前提条件是相邻的两个词必须属于同一个意群，否则不能连读。
