英文朗诵材料
When God Created Fathers When the good Lord was creating fathers, He started with a tall frame. A female angel nearby said, “What kind of father is that? If you are going to make children so close to the ground, why have you put the father up so high? He will be able to shoot marbles（弹子游戏） without kneeling, tuck a child in bed without bending, or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping（弯腰）.” And God smiled and said, “Yes, but if I make him child size, who would chil dren have to look up to?” And when God made a father?s hands,they were large and sinewy. And the angel shook her head sadly and said, “Do you know what you?re doing? Large hands are clumsy. They can?t manage diaper pins别针, small buttons, rubber bands橡皮筋on pony tails马尾, or even remove splinters碎片caused by baseball b ats.” God smiled and said, “I know, but they are large enough to hold everything a small boy empties from his pockets at the end of a day, yet small enou gh to cup a child?s face.” Then God molded long slim legs and broad shoulders. The angel nearly had a heart attack. “Boy, this is the end of the we ek, all right,” she clucked. “Do you realize You just made a father without a lap? How is he going to pull a child close to him without the kid falling between his legs?” God smiled and said, “A mother need s a lap大腿. A father needs strong shoulders to pull a sledge雪橇, balance a boy on a bicycle or hold a sleepy head on the way home from the circus.” God was in the middle of creating two of the largest feet anyone had ever seen when the angel could contain he rself no longer. “That?s not fair. Do you honestly think those large boats are going to get out of bed early in the morning when the baby cries? Or walk through a small birthday party without crushing at least three of the guests?” And God smiled and said, “They?ll work. You?ll see. They?ll support a small child who wants to …ride a horse to Banbury Cross? or scare off mice at the summer cabin, or display shoes that will be a challenge to fill.” God worked through the night, giving the father few words, but a firm authoritative voice; eyes that see everything, but remain calm and

普通话朗读材料
普通话考试朗读材料:神秘的无底洞 地球上是否真的存在“无底洞”？按说地球是圆的，由地壳、地幔和地核三层组成，真正的“无底洞”是不应存在的，我们所看到的各种山洞、残品、裂缝，甚至火山口也都只是地壳浅部的一种现象。然而中国一些古籍却多次提到海外有个深奥莫测的无底洞。事实上地球上确实有这样一个“无底洞”。 它位于希腊亚各斯古城的海滨。由于濒临大海，大涨潮时，汹涌的海水便会排山倒海般地涌入洞中，形成一股湍湍的急流。据测，每天注入洞内的海水量达三万多吨。奇怪的是，如此大量的海水灌入洞中，却从来没有把洞灌满。曾有人怀疑，这个“无底洞”会不会就像石灰岩地区的漏斗、竖井、落水洞一类的地形。然而从十二世纪三十年代以来，人们就做了多种努力企图寻找它的出口，却都是枉费心机。 为了揭开这个秘密，一九五八年美国地理学会派出一支考察队，他们把一种经久不变的带色染料溶解在海水中，观察染料是如何随着海水一起沉下去。接着又察看了附近海面以及岛上的各条河、湖，满怀希望地寻找这种带颜色的水，结果令人失望。难道是海水量太大把有色水稀释得太淡，以致无法发现？ 至今谁也不知道为什么这里的海水会没完没了地“漏”下去，这个“无底洞”的出口又在哪里，每天大师的海水究竟都流到哪里去了？ 普通话考试朗读材料:散步 我们在田野散步：我，我的母亲，我的妻子和儿子。 母亲本不愿出来的。她老了，身体不好，走远一点儿就觉得很累。我说，正因为如此，才应该多走走。母亲信服地点点头，便去拿外套。她现在很听我的话，就像我小时候很听她的话一样。 这南方初春的田野，大块小块的新绿随意地铺着，有的浓，有的淡，树上的嫩芽也密了，田里的冬水也咕咕地起着水泡。这一切都使人想着一样东西--生命。 我和母亲走在前面，我的妻子和儿子走在后面。小家伙突然叫起来：“前面是妈妈和儿子，后面也是妈妈和儿子。”我们都笑了。

普通话水平考试常规朗读材料作品49号 作品49号节选自夏衍《野草》 有这样一个故事. 有人问:世界上什么东西的气力回答纷纭得很,有的说”象”,有的说”狮”,有人开玩笑似的说:是”金刚”,金刚有多少气力,当然大家全不知道. 结果,这一切答案完全不对,世界上气力的,是植物的种子.一粒种子所可以显现出来的力,简直是超越一切. 人的头盖骨,结合得非常致密与坚固,生理学家和解剖学者用尽了一切的方法,要把它完整地分出来,都没有这种力气.后来忽然有人发明了一个方法,就是把一些植物的种子放在要剖析的头盖骨里,给它以温度与湿度,使它发芽.一发芽,这些种子便以可怕的力量,将一切机械力所不能分开的骨骼,完整地分开了.植物种子的力量之大,如此如此. 这,也许特殊了一点儿,常人不容易理解.那么,你看见过笋的成长吗你看见过被压在瓦砾和石块下面的一棵小草的生长吗它为着向往阳光,为着达成它的生之意志,不管上面的石块如何重,石与石之间如何狭,它必定要曲曲折折地,但是顽强不屈地透到地面上来.它的根往土壤钻,它的芽往地面挺,这是一种不可抗拒的力,阻止它的石块,结果也被它掀翻,一粒种子的力量之大,//如此如此. 没有一个人将小草叫做”大力士”,但是它的力量之大,的确是世界无比.这种力是一般人看不见的生命力.只要生命存在,这种力就要显现.上面的石块,丝毫不足以阻挡.因为它是一种”长期抗战”的力;有弹性,能屈能伸的力;有韧性,不达目的不止的力. 语音提示：1. 故事gùshi 2. 什么shénme 3. 东西dōngxi4. 似的

One day, I was playing with some paint as usual in Ms Lou’s art lesson. I mixed the paint with water. As I took the brush away, I dropped some paint onto the paper. Looking at the mark, I decided to blow it. The paint began to run, so I blew harder. The paint ran in all directions and made a very interesting picture! “That’s a very good picture, Sandy.”Ms Luo encouraged me to keep trying. Since then, I have been crazy about crayons and paints. 2（新） Winter is my favourite season. It is very cold and everyone has to wear thick warm clothes, but I always enjoy the winter here in Harbin. The temperature is usually below zero and it is often snowy. Everything is covered in deep white snow, and the lakes and rivers are frozen. During this season, you cannot see beautiful flowers or green trees, but the land is quiet and beautiful. My friends and I love playing outside in winter. It is exciting to have big snowball fights. We also make snowmen and use carrots for their noses. They look funny. Winter is great! 3（新） My farther has worked in a local factory for years. You will not find anything unusual about him until you learn more. My father has always been kind and helpful. He has donated blood many times since 1990. The blood he has donated is enough to save over 70 lives. He has also donated blood cells to people with blood cancer. To my surprise, he has decided to donate his body for medical research after his death. When I was a little girl, I could not understand why my father always seemed to be kinder to others than to his own family. Now I realize that he has a heart full of love. 4 Zhalong Nature Reserve is in North-east China. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands. The area provides food and cover for a lot of wildlife. It is a perfect place for some rare birds. Some people want to make the wetlands smaller in order to have more space for farms and buildings. This will lead to less and less space for wildlife. Now the Chinese government has made laws to protect Zhalong. Wetlands are important because they provide food and shelter for wildlife including some endangered birds, and they also help prevent floods. We must protect the home of plants, fish and birds in Zhalong.
