Paragraphs for Pronunciation Practice

Version A

Hi. My name is Polani Pozzani (Use your own name!). It's the fourth Thursday in November, Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Many Americans celebrate this holiday with family dinners such as this one. Let's take a look and see where this tradition came from. In the year 1620, some Europeans came to North America and settled in what is now Massachusetts. They were called the Pilgrims. The Pilgrims didn't know how to grow crops in the New World, so the Native Americans helped them. They taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn and squash, or pumpkin, how to gather cranberries, and how to hunt wild turkeys. The Pilgrims and the Native Americans "gave thanks" by celebrating the good harvest together.

We still eat the same foods on Thanksgiving - roast turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, and for dessert, pumpkin pie. And there is no better place to find people getting ready for this holiday than at the grocery store. We talked with some people here about their plans for Thanksgiving. How do you usually celebrate Thanksgiving?

Version B

How do you gauge a country's well-being? The usual approach is to look at economic indicators like GDP or employment figures, or social ones like literacy levels or crime rates. But in Britain politicians are seeking a much more

basic measure of the public's well-being: its happiness. From this month, as part of an annual survey, 200,000 households in Britain will be asked some rather unusual questions. They are: How happy are you? How happy did you feel yesterday? How anxious did you feel yesterday? To what extent do you feel the things in your life are worthwhile?

The large sample size means that researchers are hoping to minimise the questionnaire's margin of error. Statisticians will try to correlate respondents' answers about happiness to other variables, such as their income or where they live. The Prime Minister David Cameron has signalled that he may allow his policies to be shaped by the responses to these questions. But Sheila Lawlor, from the think tank Politeia, thinks that politicians should fix the economy before probing the national mood, which is less measurable.

英语语音语调大赛练习资料-2008级 Choice A 与Choice B 代表的是英式发音 Choice C 与Choice D代表的是美式发音 Choice A–Mr. Brown Speaking: We tend to think of the sweep of history of stretching across many months and years before culminating in decisive moments that we call history. But sometimes the reality is that the defining moments of history come suddenly, and without warning, and the task of leadership then is to define them, to shape them and to move forward into the new world they demand. An economic hurricane has swept the world, creating a crisis of credit and a crisis of confidence. History has brought us now to a point where change is essential. And we are summoned not just to manage our times but to transform them. And our task is to rebuild prosperity and security in a wholly different economic world where competition is no longer just local but it is global, and where banks are no longer national but they are international.（144 words) Choice B–Mrs. Rowling Speaking: You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default. Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above the price of rubies. The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned. （155 words) Choice C–Mr. Gates Speaking I left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities here in this country. And I knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries. It took me decades to find out. You graduates came to Harvard at a different time. You know more about the world's inequities than the classes that came before. In your years here, I hope you've had a chance to think about how – in this age of accelerating technology – we can finally take on these inequities, and we can solve them. Imagine, just for the sake of discussion, that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause –and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving lives. Where would you spend it? （151 words) Choice D–Mr. Obama Speaking

英语语音语调作业

1.For English phonemes, how many consonants are there? And how many vowels? What are pure vowels? Speech sounds are generally divided into vowels and consonants.There are twenty-one letters of consonants and twenty-four consonant phonemes.Meanwhile,There are five letters of vowels and twenty vowels phonemes A monophthong is a pure vowel sound, one whose articulation at both beginning and end is relatively fixed, and which does not glide up or down towards a new position of articulation. 2.How can people articulate sounds like /?/, /?/, /t?/, /d?/? Is there any difference among them? What about /k/, /g/, and /?/? Both /?/ and /?/ are fricatives.Fricatives are consonants produced by forcing air through a narrow channel made by placing two articulators close together.So they are sounds very short.But / T?/ and / D?/ belong to affricates.It means it is produced by first stopping the airflow entirely, then allowing air flow through a constricted channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence. /n/’s manner of articulation is occlusive, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. Because the consonant is also nasal, the blocked airflow is redirected through the nose. /g/’s manner of articulation is occlusive, which means it is produced by obstructing airflow in the vocal tract. Since the consonant is also oral, with no nasal outlet, the airflow is blocked entirely, and the consonant is a stop. The different from /n/ and /?/ is that /?/ is a velar nasal,but /n/ is a alveolar nasal.Actually it’s position is same to /g/.When you pronunce /?/ ,you have to be clear and forceful 3.please write down 8 words containing 8 different diphthongs. 1.House 2.dear, 3.play, 4.Grow 5.oil, 6.There 7.File 8.Great [e] is a dorsal vowel and pure vowels.When you pronunce [e ],your tongue should be placed in the middle of the oral cavity.The tip of your tpngue should rest light against the back of yur loxer front teeth. [ei] is a diphthong from [e] to [i],besides,it also is a long vowel.[ei] is read the letter A‘s pronunciation.The first element of the sound is the same as [e] and the only difference between the two is that in the pronunciation of [e],you have to stick to your tongue position throughout,while in the pronunciation of [ei],you have to change your tongue position to [i],making it a diphthong.

英语语音语调基本知识语调我们说话时可以随意改变音高，使音调上升或下降。我们还可以像歌唱家那样突然抬高话语的音调。音调的这种上扬或下降叫语调。英语有两种基本的语调: 升调和降调（分别用符号“.”、“∈”表示）。升降的过程可以是急促的，也可以是缓慢的，还可以形成不同的组合。说话人可以通过语调准确地表达各种信息。 1、升调:升调多用来表示“不肯定”和“未完结”的意思，比如： 一般疑问句，语气婉转的祈使句，以及用陈述句子形式表示疑问的各类句子。如: a）Shall I tell him to come and see.you? （一般疑问句的正常语调） b）You.like.him?（用于陈述句形式的疑问句中，期待得到对方证实） c）.What have you got there? （用于特殊疑问句中，语气亲切热情） d）.Right you.are. （用于某些感叹句中，表示轻快、活泼、鼓励等意义）

e）She bought.red，.yellow，and.green rugs. （用于排例句中，区别语义） 2、降调:降调表示“肯定”和“完结”。一般用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、命令句和感叹句中。例如: a）Swimming is my favourite∈sport. （用于陈述句表示肯定的意义） b）What did you find∈there? （降调用于特殊疑问句表示说话人浓厚的兴趣） c）Tell me all about∈it. （语气较强的命令） d）Have you got the∈tickets? （降调用于一般疑问句表示说话人的态度粗率、不耐烦或不高兴） e）How∈nice! （用于感叹句，表示感叹）

英语语音语调

英语语音语调 前 言 在当今全球化发展日益加快，国际交流日益频繁的形势下，英语口语的重要性越发突出，而口语交际的效果好坏或成功与否与语音是否准确、语调是否恰当到位有着不可分割的关系。 成年人学习一种外语时都会不可避免地受到自己本族语的影响，我们中国人学习英语也会不可避免地受到汉语的影响，这就是语言学习中的迁移现象。任何学习外语的人都应该注意到语言学习中的这种迁移现象，并且最关键的是，应该学会有效利用正迁移，克服负迁移。那么如何利用正迁移，克服负迁移呢？要做到这一点，首先要对本族语和外语目的语进行对比，找出其中的相似和差异，然后在学习外语时充分利用本族语与外语的相似点，努力摆脱在本族语和外语的不同点上本族语对外语的干扰。 在英语语音语调的学习中，由于英汉两种语言分属不同语系，这种迁移现象显得更加显著。我们发现许多学生或英语学习者讲出的英语带有汉语味道，原因就是学习英语发音时未能摆脱汉语语音习惯的影响和干扰。 编写本书的目的是帮助我国学生和其他英语学习者通过英汉对比的方法掌握英语的语音语调，讲出地道、流利的英语，成功、有效地进行英语口头交际。 因此，本书编写的原则之一就是英汉对比。 ·1·

English Pronunciation＆Intonation 此外，英语发音最普遍的两种形式是英式发音和美式发音。两种形式的英语发音虽大同小异，但学习者不能忽略这“小异”。正是这“小异”使得两种形式的英语发音具有了明显的不同。所以，学习标准英语语音，首先要选择其中一种形式作为自己学习模仿的“标准”，然后朝着这一“标准”努力，进行坚持不懈的练习和模仿。切忌两种标准混用，形成大杂烩式的南腔北调。因此，本书编写的原则之二是英音美音对比，以使学习者弄清英式英语和美式英语在语音、语调上的相同和不同，并有目的地选择自己喜欢的一种发音“标准”进行训练。 本书主要内容包括八章，分别介绍音素和音标：包括英国英语标准音标和美国英语标准音标；音素的分类：从不同方面对元音音素和辅音音素进行分类，并同时注意区分英式英语和美式英语在元音音素和辅音音素中的相同和不同；元音音素的发音方法：包括单元音、双元音和三元音的发音方法，注意英汉相似音素的对比，同时比较英美两种英语发音在元音音素发音上的相同和差异；辅音音素的发音方法：注意英汉相似音素的对比，同时注意英语中容易混淆的音素的对比；节奏：包括对英汉不同的节奏模式的对比，影响英语节奏群构成的音节、重音、弱读、连读等，以及节奏训练的方法；语调：包括英汉语调模式对比，英语语调群的构成，英语三种基本语调的基本意义和用法，以及长句中组合语调的运用，英式英语和美式英语语调简单对比等；最后一章是练读材料，包括绕口令、句子和段落。每部分内容在介绍时都突出“对比”的原则，学习者·2·

英语语音语调基本知识 一.音素 英语语音的最小单位是音素。例如/bi:/是由/b/和/i:/两个音素构成的。音素分两大类:元音和辅音。它们在音节中各司其职;音节主要以元音为中心，元音前后可有一个或多个辅音。英语有48个音素，其中元音音素20个，辅音音素28个。要掌握好英语语音，就得学会48个音素的正确发音和元音音素的两种基本语调，即升调和降调。在学习过程中，要特别注意本族语的语音和英语语音不可相互代替。否则，将会给以后的学习造成很大的困难。记录和描写音素的符号是音标。 二.国际音标 学习英语语音，一般采用国际音标。因为英语的拼写与发音之间有很多不一致的地方，所以被称为欧洲语言中拼读最难的语种。概括起来，英语发音的复杂特点有以下几种情况: （1）一个字母可有多种发音。例如: 字母a的读法有———cat//;face/ei/;father/:/;wa-ter/:/;any/e/等。 字母e的读法有———these/i:/;toilet/i/;american/e/;student//等。 字母i的读法有———license/ai/;which/i/等。

字母o的读法有———photo/u/;today//;wrong//;color//;who/u:/;woman/u/等。 字母u的读法有———duty/ju:/;mum//;ruler/u:/;put/u/等。 （2）读同一元音，写多种拼法。例如: 下列各词都带/u/音，但同音部分拼法不相同:owe，so，sew，sow，beau，toe，though，oh。 有些词都带有/i:/音，但拼法不同:chinese，team，green，people等。 有些词都带有/ai/音，拼法却不相同:bye，kite，right，height，behind等。 有些词都带有/ei/音，拼法也不一样:eraser，today，gain，they等。 （3）两三个字母组合发一个音。例如: th念//或//:think/i k/，throw/r u/，there//等。 sh念//:fish/fi/，wash/w/，dish/di/等。 sch念//:schedule/edju:l/，scheelite/i:lait/，schilling/ili/等。 oo念/u/或/u:/:too/tu:/，school/sku:l/，soot/sut/等。ea念/i:/或/e/:heat/hi:t/，head/hed/，heaven/hevn/等。 ee念/i:/:three/ri:/，meet/mi:t/，green/ri:n/等。

英语语音练习

Unit 1 Basic Concepts: Syllables, Stress & Rhythm Listening Exercise 1 When we learn to speak English, we are learning a new way of listening and speaking. The purpose of this textbook is to try to make your ears sharper for the sounds of English and the way the sounds are organized; to help you get familiar with pitch movements of English utterances and the message it conveys; and to help you improve your English pronunciation and intonation. When you can hear English properly you will be able to improve your spoken English. Listening Exercise 2 In words with two or more syllables in English, one of the syllables will receive more stress than the others. Look up these words in the dictionary and you will see a mark indicating stress in front of this syllable. People often have difficulty understanding these words if the stress is wrong because a word is considered mispronounced if the wrong syllable stress is used. Correct stress is, therefore, as important as correct sounds. Listening Exercise 3 Listen to the following words and underline the primary stress of each word. Example: soft ware Sun day 1.blueprint 2.driveway 3.motorboat 4.textbook 5.beefsteak 6.notebook 7.greenhouse 8.forestfire 9.football 10.paperback Listening Exercise 4 Listen to the pitch change on the long stressed syllables of the following words. Underline the stressed syllable of each of the words. Example: air plane ( 2 ) 1. receive ( ) 2.dictionary ( ) 3.understand ( ) 4. because ( ) 5. considered ( ) 6. mispronounced ( ) 7. correct ( ) 8.important ( ) 9.timetable ( ) 10.textbook ( ) Listening Exercise 5 Listen to the following sentences. Decide how many syllables are in each sentence. Example: They worked all night ( 4 )
