Part B

Text B What Is Lifelong Learning ( home reading)

Part C Phonetics, Functions and Notions

A.Phonetics : Liaison

连贯地说话或朗读时，在同一个意群（即短语或从句）中相邻的两个词，

如果前一个词的末尾音与后一个词的起首音紧密连接在一起，构成一个音节，这

就是连音。连音时的音节一般不重读，只需顺其自然地一带而过，不可以加音，

也不可以读得太重。如not at all 这个短语，连音时听起来就像是一个单词。

注意: 连音只发生在句子中的同一个意群中。在两个意群之间即使有两个相邻的

辅音和元音出现，也不可连音。如: Please take a look at it。这个句子中

take a look at it是同一个意群，那么take与a可连音，look与at可连音，

at与it可连音。在There is a book in it。一句中book与in往往不连音，

因为book与in分别在两个不同的意群中。

二、连音的三种形式

1. 辅音（除了[r]，[w]和[j]+元音外，单词末尾的辅音同元音开头的单词连音。

如: He is a student. (is与a要连音)

That is a right answer. (That与is, is和a, right和answer 都可以连音)

I’ll be back in half an hour. (back和in, half和an, an与

hour都可以连音)

2. 元音 +元音: 前一个词的末尾元音和后一个词的起首元音连读，使它们中

间不出现停顿。在这种情况下，我们一般在两音之间加上轻读的[w]和轻

读的[j]。如: do it, he ate some。在朗读这一类的连音时，注意不要后

加的[w]和[j]音念得很重，很完整，以至于读成[du-wit]和[hi'jets?m]，

而要轻轻滑到下一个元音上。

3. [r]+元音: 这一类的连音分为词末连接音[r]和外加音[r]与元音的连音。

（1）单词末尾的r在英式英语中是不发音的，但在连贯言语里，如果这个单

词后面紧跟着一个以元音开头的词，而且两个词在意义上密切相关且

中间无停顿隔开时，那么就可能使原来不发音的字母r读为[r]，并同

后一个单词的元音字首相连: there is.

（2）为了避免两个意义相关的毗邻词的末首元音分立而读，一般我们在前一个单词的结尾元音和后面单词的起首元音之间加上[r]音，这就是外

加音[r]。如: idea of it .

B. Functions and Notions : Hopes and Desires

The following are some common expressions for expressing hopes and desires.

一般程度表达:

Let’s hope ... My hope is that ...

I don’t mind ...

I’d be happy to do ...

It’s our sincere hope that ...

As long as we/I can ...

If only I could ...

I’ve got to have ...

Wouldn’t it be marvelous to ... What I need is ...

I feel like ... I’d love you to ...

...would just suit me.

I wouldn’t say no to ...

强烈程度表达:

He has a strong desire to ...

I’ve always dreamed of ...

I’ve been wanting to ...

I’m really longing for ...

I’m dying to ... He is eager to ...

I rather fancy something to ...

What I really wish is ...

They are really keen on ...

He is itching for ... to ...

I particularly wish ...

I’d give anything to do / for ...

Part D Grammar and Writing

Grammar: Attributive Clause

一、引导定语从句的各种关系词

定语从句是指在复合句中充当定语的从句，定语从句由关系代词或关系副词来引导。关系词除了引导定语从句外，还在从句中指代被其修饰的先行词，在从句中充当一定的成分。

▲结构：先行词+ 关系词+ 定语从句

The man who is sitting there is a doctor.

先行词关系词

关系词作用：

1、连接先行词和定语从句；

2、意义与先行词一致，即代替先行词在从句中充当句子成分。

▲限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句

1、限制性定语从句：从句与主句关系密切，去掉从句，主句意义不完整，甚至不合逻辑。

e.g. I was the only person in our office who was invited.（去掉定语从句，意思就不完整）

2、非限制性定语从句：从句对先行词关系不密切，去掉定从句，意思仍然完整。形式上用逗号隔开，不能that用引导。

e.g. Tom’s father, who is over sixty, still works hard day and night.（who引导非限制性定语从句，整个句子可分成两句来翻译）

▲怎样判断是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句？

答：非限制性定语从句的先行词和关系词中间有逗号。

▲怎样判断用什么关系词？

1.看先行词是人还是物；

2.看关系词（也就是先行词）在定语从句中做什么句子成分。

▲特殊情况

一、只用that的情况

1.先行词为all, much, little, everything, anything, nothing, none, few, the one等不定代词时：

This is the one that I bought yesterday.

这是我昨天买的那个。

2. 先行词被形容词最高级或only, any, few, little, no, all, one of 等修饰时：

It is the most important thing that we should finish soon.

3.先行词为数词或被序数词（含last）修饰时：

Look at the flowers. You can see the two that you gave me.

4.先行词既有人又有物时：

I will never forget the people and places I visited this summer.

5.先行词在主句中作表语或关系词在从句中作表语。

It is a book that will help you a lot.

二、不用that的情况

1.关系代词前有介词时

This is the room in which he lived.

2.非限制性定语从句中

He has a daughter, who works in a hospital.

3.先行词本身是that

The clock is that which tells the time.

关系副词：

1. 定语从句中关系副词有：

when, where, why

2. 关系副词在定语从句中所作的成份：

关系副词在定语从句中都作状语。

when 作时间状语；where 作地点状语；

why 作原因状语。

when 指时间，在从句中作时间状语，它的先行词为time, day, morning, night, week, year, moment, period, age等，亦可用“介词+which”替代。

I still remember the time when I first traveled by plane.

where指地点，在从句中作地点状语。它的先行词通常为place, spot, street, house, room, city, town, country等，亦可用“介词+ which”替代。

Can you tell me the company where he works?

3. where 引导的定语从句还可以修饰表示抽象空间概念的名词，如case(情况), point(地步)，situation(情形), position(位置), stage(阶段)…

4. 关系副词when, where和why也可用“介词+which”来代替，要注意其先行词(名词）与介词的合理搭配，介词根据先行词或定语从句的谓语动词来确定。

when 相当于“at/in/on/during + whic h”

where 相当于“in/at/on + which”

why 相当于“for + which”

Writing:

1.Writing for General Purposes: How to write an outline

Writing Strategy

An outline is a great way to organize your thoughts as well as organize information from what you’ve read. It helps you sort and classify your materials systematically. Try to take the following steps to write an outline:

1. Decide upon some general topics.

2. Gather research materials: obtain newspapers, magazines, books or helpful

websites.

3. Organize your outline: number major ideas in a logical order, put supportive ideas

under each major idea and use brief words or phrases rather than full sentences. 4. Decide upon your major ideas: create an introduction, arguments with evidence,

and a conclusion.

5. Record information to support each major idea and cut off irrelevant information.

6. Connect each major idea with a logical flow and create your final draft.

2. Writing for Specific Purposes: Form-Filling

In our daily life, we are often required to fill in different forms for different purposes. If you are going to attend a learning program organized by a foreign
