在英语朗读中，遇到爆破音+爆破音时，前一个爆破音只作发音姿势，刚要发出时，立即发出第二个爆破音。如：whattime，goodbye。遇到爆破音+摩擦音时，前一个爆破音作好发音姿势，刚发出即过渡到摩擦音。爆破音发出的声音非常轻微，有时甚至听不出来。如：picture，goodchild。 1 发音技巧

（１）爆破音是指发音器官在口腔中形成阻碍，然后气流冲破阻碍而发出的音。爆破音有六个，即 /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/ 和 /g/。

（２）发爆破音＋爆破音组合中的第一个爆破音时，气流不必冲破阻碍，而只是发音器官在口腔中形成阻碍，并稍作停顿。也就是说，只作发音姿势，刚要发出时，立即发出第二个爆破音。这个发音过程叫做“完全爆破”。

（３）发爆破音＋摩擦音（/f/，/v/，/θ/，/e/，/s/，/z/，/?/，/?/，/h/，/r/）组合中的爆破音时，发音器官不形成阻碍而只形成一个很狭小的缝隙，让气流从缝隙中流出。也就是说发音器官作好发爆破音的姿势，刚发出该音即过渡到摩擦音，爆破音非常的轻微，有时甚至听不出来。这个发音过程叫做“不完全爆破”。 2 歌曲中的完全爆破和不完全爆破 （１）完全爆破

Conversation 1 - Expressing worries & responses

1. Listen to a conversation and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. 1. B 2. B 3. C

2. Listen again and complete the following sentences with what you hear. Scripts

Hi! Lucy, I notice that you are eating less than before. Are you trying to lose weight? Right, Annie. I’m particularly anxious about my weight these days. But you really got no need to worry about it. You look very slim!

Actually, there will be a party in one month. And I want to fit into my dress and look nice in it. Oh, I see.

But I just can’t imagine how I can get into shape and fit into the dress in such a short time. Look at my body! I can’t help worrying.

But I don’t think dieting really works. It’s better to have a healthy lifestyle, eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking lots of water, and hitting the gym as often as possible. That’s what works for me.

Cool! Well, I’ll keep your words in mind.

3. Role-play a conversation in pairs according to one of the following situations. You may refer to the Functional Language. Functional Language

Conversation 2 - Expressing worries & responses

1. Listen to a conversation and choose the best answer to each of the following

questions.

2. Listen again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Scripts

Sandy, what’s the matter? You don’t look well. Oh, Joe, I’m worried about my homework. What is it? Is it very difficult to do?

At least it is not easy for me. It is a composition. We need to hand it in tomorrow morning. It’s really worrisome.

There is nothing to worry about. Tell me what it is about.

The title of the composition is ―Should the university campus be open to tourists?‖. Just the thought of writing such a composition makes me worry.

Try not to worry. I’ll give you a hand. In the first paragraph you can just state that visiting universities has become increasingly popular.

22

But I don’t think that university campus should be open to tourists.

OK. Very good. Then state your own opinion in the following part. And give your reasons why you disapprove. Two or three reasons should be enough. In the last paragraph, just restate your opinion.

That doesn’t sound so hard. I’ll try it. Thank you for your help.

3. Role-play a conversation in pairs according to one of the following situations. You may refer to the Functional Language. Functional Language Step 3. Passage

1. Listen to a passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. 1. A 2. B 3. C

2. Listen again and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Scripts

Wang Shu, born on November 4th, 1963 in Urumqi, Xinjiang, is a famous architect in China. He is also the dean of the School of Architectural Art of the China Academy of Art. In 2012, Wang became the first Chinese citizen to win the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the world’s top prize in architecture.

Instead of looking toward the west for inspiration, Wang tries to develop a new language for Chinese architecture. He roots his works in Chinese history and culture, and creates modern buildings by making use of traditional materials and techniques. For instance, the Xiangshan campus of Hangzhou’s China Academy of Art he designed, has a roof built with 2,000,000 tiles collected from traditional houses.

Wang’s success, to some extent, can inspire other Chinese architects to follow in his footsteps.

3. Work in groups to talk about a famous architect that you know. Then each group chooses a representative to make an introduction to the architect to the class. The introduction should include the following information.

The architect that I’m going to introduce is Jorn Utzon, the architect who designed the Sydney Opera House. Jorn Utzon was born on April 9, 1918 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He received his Diploma in Architecture from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen. He once worked in Sweden until the end of World War II and returned to Copenhagen in 1950 to open his own architectural practice. Jorn Utzon died in Copenhagen on November 29, 2008.

His legacy lives on through the Sydney Opera House as well as the many other magnificent structures he designed around the world, like Bagsvaerd Church and the Paustian Furniture Store in Copenhagen. Utzon always considers site conditions and program requirements before he designs each building. He transcends architecture as art and develops his forms into poetic inventions that possess thoughtful programming, structural integrity, and sculptural harmony.
