雅思口语发音练习
据英国驻华使馆文化教育处日前发布的消息，雅思考试官方在2007年8月份调整雅思口语考试评分标准，从原来的4种分值的评分标准细化到9种，一系列精细标准的出台将对中国考生做出更高、更细的要求。变化发音评分细化分值增至9种。据英国驻华使馆文化教育处介绍，雅思口语考试有4个评分标准：流利度和连贯性、词汇量、语法结构和准确度、发音。“发音”的得分以前仅有4种分值，一旦修订后，评分的依据还是一样，只不过分数会更细化，出现9种分值。重点对考生元音饱满程度、失去爆破、弱化、连读、重音、连贯性等内容进行考查。总的来说，考生在练习发音时应注意语音、语调、节奏感、重音、连读等，注意吐字清晰，如果不太熟练，最好放慢语速。

发音到位
很多人在发音时，只是把它发出来，并没有真正地到位，要做到发音真正到位，关键是嘴型的到位，下面以长音/i:/和短/i/来做一个实例：
?
长音/i:/和短/i/的区别不仅仅是一个音长，一个音短。关键是它们的发音部位的不同，/i:/是通过口腔发出来的声音, 发声处靠前, 口形很扁,?是一个非常清晰的音。而/i/是一个短音, 是通过喉咙发出来的声音（发音方法就像唱美声歌曲一样）, 发声处靠后部, 嘴自然张开,短音/i/比长音/i:/的嘴形稍宽，从喉咙后部发出，非常短促。
?
下面我们来看看这两个音在单词中的不同表现：
/i:/ bee sheep leave
/i/ busy ship live
Jason is just like a busy bee, he's always on the go.
Mary and her sheep are leaving where they are living.
掌握了发音技巧，下一步就是要不厌其烦地反复练习，不仅要做一些绕口令式的训练，同时要做大量地朗读，以正常的语速（刚开始可以慢一些，以做到清晰发出每一个音为标准），适当地停顿，富有感情地优美地朗读。示范：
Welcome to the most easily misunderstood seasonof all, winter, a beautiful season of intimacy and reflection. I’m Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax.
Winter gives us the opportunity to stay inside and look outside, as we're not called outdoors to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. Snuggle up in the sofa, put a blanket over you, have a cup of hot cocoa, and enjoy the observations on enjoy precious season…
首先，我们把这个段落里面的发长音/i:/和发短音/i/的单词找出来：
长音/i:/：easily season
短音/i/：easily winter beautiful intimacy misunderstood
reflection simply relax give opportunity
inside enjoy in this
连读练习
(1)“辅音+元音”型连读在同一个意群里，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拼起来连读。
I’
m~an~English boy.It~is~an~old book.
Let me have~a look~at~it.
Ms Black worked in~an~office last~yesterday.
I called~you half~an~hour~ago.Put~it~on, please.
Not~at~all.Please pick~it~up.
(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拼起来连读。
They’re my father~and mother.
I looked for~it here~and there.
There~is a football under~it.
There~are some books on the desk.
Here~is a letter for you.
Here~are four~eggs.
But where~is my cup?
Where~are your brother~and sister?
但是，如果一个音节的前后都有字母r，即使后面的词以元音开头，也不能连读。
The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer.（nearer与and不可连读）
(3)“辅音+半元音”型连读英语语音中的/j/和/w/是半元音，如果前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以半元音，特别是/j/开头，此时也要连读。
Thank~youNice to meet~you.
Did~you get there late~again?
Would~you like~a cup~of tea？
Could~you help me, please?
“音的同化”—常把/d/+/j/读成/dV/，did you听上成了/dIdVu/，would you成了/wudVu/，could you成了/kudVu/。
(4)“元音+元音”型连读
如果前一个词以元音结尾，后一个词以元音开头，这两个音往往也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。
I~am Chinese.
He~is very friendly to me.
She wants to study~English.
How~and why did you come here?
She can’t carry~it.
It’ll take you three~hours to walk there
The question is too~easy for him to answer.
(5)当短语或从句之间按意群进行停顿时，意群与意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音与元音出现，也不可连读。
Is~it a~hat or a cat?（hat与or之间不可以连读）
There~is~a good book in my desk. （book与in之间不可以连读）
Can you speak~English or French? （English与or之间不可以连读）
Shall we meet at~eight or ten tomorrow morning? （meet与 at，eight与or之间不可以连读）
She opened the door and walked~in. （door与and之间不可以连读）
失去爆破
6个爆破音有3对/p/，/b/，/t/，/d/，/k/，/g/失去爆破，又叫不完全爆破，就是在某些情况下，只须做出发音的准备，但并不发音，稍稍停顿后就发后面的音。
(1)“爆破音+爆破音”型6个爆破音中的任意2个相临时，前一个爆破音会失去爆破，即由相关的发音器官做好这个发音的姿势，稍做停顿后即发后面的爆破音。
The girl in the re(d) coat was on a bla(ck) bike jus(t) now.
The bi(g) bus from the fa(c) tory is full of people.
Wha(t) time does he get up every morning?
This is an ol(d) pi(c)ture of a bi(g) car.The ol(d) do(c)tor has a ca(t), too.
We’re going to work on a farm nex(t) Tuesday.
What would you like, ho(t) tea or bl
a(ck) coffee?
It’s a very col(d) day, but it’s a goo(d) day.
You can put i(t) down in the bi(g) garden.
I bought a chea(p) book, but it’s a goo(d) book.
(2)“爆破音+摩擦音”型
如果前面是爆破音，其后紧跟着某些摩擦音（如/f/，/s/，/W/，/T/等），那么前面那个爆破音仅有十分轻微的爆破，而后面那个摩擦音则要完全爆破。
Goo(d) morning, Mr. Bell.
Uncle Li’s fa(c)tory is qui(te) near to the cinema.
I wen(t) there alone a(t) nine las(t) night.
-Do you know his bi(ke) number?
-Sorry, I don’(t) know.
The forty-firs(t) lesson is qui(te) difficult.
Goo(d) luck, Lin Tao
EXE：1. Hey look! It's my good friend Ross.
2. I've been practicing my magic tricks.
3. Oh, Aunt Liddy's coming? That means we get five dollars each
4. Look at her, my first grandchild.
5. Because it kinda looked like I did.
6. The puppet master gets tired

Passage Reading
So far as I know, the china world hotel is the most luxurious hotel I have ever seen in BJ. It is an international 5 star hotel which has 21 floors and more than 700 rooms, located in the center of Beijing's business district (opposites SOHO). It is used to welcome distinguished business and government leaders as well as travelers visiting the capital of China. the hotel was constructed by concrete and steels, covered by glass outside. It looks really magnificent .(grand, splendid) Inside of the hotel, it features modern Euro cuisine restaurants and has the largest conferences and meetings facilities in Beijing . All rooms and suites are equipped with AC, cable TV, internet access , telephone , and almost everything you need. What impressed me most is its comprehensive sports facilities. It has got a big indoor swimming pool, a hi-tech fitness center and two simulative golf-courses which provide good recreations and entertainment for the guests. Now, the hotel has already become a landmark building in BJ, and provides excellent services to people all over the world. I hope one day I can h
ave lunch in it.
In my opinion， one of the biggest problems of transportation is traffic jams in Anyang city. It has become common to see passengers and drivers having to wait in long lines of buses and cars moving at a snail's pace on the streets during the rush hours. There are several reasons for this problem. First， the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the building of roads. Second， there seem to be too many private cars and not enough public buses. Third， many people， including drivers， pedestrians and cyclists do not obey traffic rules properly， especially at busy intersections.
In my opinion， one of the biggest problems of transportation is traffic jams in Anyang city. In view of the seriousness of this problem， effective measures must be taken before things get worse. On the one hand， the government should invest more money in the building of new roads and the repairing and maintenance of old ones， particularly those in busy areas of the cities. On the other hand， the number of private cars in urban areas should be limited while the number of public buses should be increased. At the same time， it is essential that stricter traffic rules and regulations be issued to strengthen traffic control.
