雅思听力考试中造成连读错误的情况
什么是雅思听力连读?连读即连在一起读,就是两个或多个分属不同单词的音因相邻或因语速快等而连在一起读出的现象。
连读是听力中遇到的最基本的问题,也是最经常遇到的问题。刚接触听力的初学者,就不可避免地要遇到连读的问题,即使听力水平已经很髙的人,常常还会由于某个普通的连读而犯错误。
连读现象在雅思听力中极为常见。因为雅思听力考的是口语,而口语必有连读。 英语是这样,汉语和世界上任何语言都是如此。传说古英语中并没有字母W,只有常连在一起双写的U(UU)。两个U(DOUBLE U)连在一起写草了,便成了W的形状;连在一起读快了,便成了[dAblju:]读音。久而久之,双写的U就成了现在字母W。又如汉语的“甭”字,起初只是口语中“不”和“用”形成的一个连读音变,久而久之人们又把两个字合写成一个字,于是连读便创造出了一个新的汉字。考生只需稍加留意便会发现连读的作用和影响在雅思听力中也是无处不在。
造成连读错误的情况有哪些?
众多的连读现象在雅思听力中给中国考生造成的错误和失分主要有以下几种情况。
(1)雅思听力中的关键词
雅思听力中很多题目的考试关键经常是落在某个习语或词组上。只要这个关键词听懂了,即使其余内容都未听懂,这个题目也能做对。相反,考生即使听懂了其他的内容,但这个关键性的习语或词组未听懂,那么这个题目必然失分。多数情况下,这种关键词的书面形式考生相当熟悉,在语法、阅读等书面考试中绝不会因此失分。可一旦在 磁带上变为了听力,考生却不认识这些最熟悉的词了。连读造成的失分首当其冲便是这种情况。
像词组not at all(—点也不)考生都很熟悉。雅思听力一旦考到它,便把这三个小词紧紧挨在一起,放在一个长句子中间,然后发生强烈的连读。于是考生就听不出这是他们最熟悉的not at all词组。
比如一个单句题:The meeting yesterday wasn' t at all boring.
四个选项为:
A. The meeting was rather interesting.
B. The meeting wasn' t held yesterday after all.
C. We didn' t go to all of yesterday's meetings.
D. We brought everything to the meeting.
做这个题时,前半句的the meeting yesterday读得缓慢清晰,考生听得很清楚。句尾的boring因重读考生听得也很清楚。但在yesterday与boring之间,考生虽然也感觉到疙疙瘩瘩有点东西,却不知道到底是什么。于是便开始浮想联翩,并夹进自己的生活体验:“开会肯定是无聊的(boring)!”因此,正确选项A反倒不敢选,在另外三个选项中瞎猜一个,这道题便做错了。
(2)普通的常用词和词组
有大量极常用的单词和词组,虽不是考试关键,但因是日常口语离不了的,在雅思听力中出现的频率极高,分布极广。这些单词和词组也属于考生最熟悉的词汇之列,而且每个单词的标准发音多数考生也能听懂。可问题在于,这些词汇出现于雅思听力中,总与某些单词有着相当固定的搭配关系。这种固定的搭配又进一步造成固定的连读等音变,从而使某些单词在雅思听力中总不能听到它的标准发音,而是它连读以后的某种音变形态。多数考生对常用词的连读音变形态并不熟悉,于是固定搭配产生的连读就把考生本来认识的词变成了生词。这就是连读造成严重失分的第二种情况。
例如for和him,任何说英语的人都不会不认识这两个词。在雅思听力中,for him 搭配在一块,很多考生可能听不懂了。因为for的[r]要击穿him的[h]音,直接与him 的[i]音连读,于是for him在听觉上就成了for [rim]。还有,for和him这两个小词在句子中经常要被弱读,for读作[f?], him的[i]音也变作了[?]音,这样for him就成了 [f?r?m],发音完全等同于单词forum的弱读形式。有时候,for的元音部分因过于弱化而完全消失,这时的for him的发音成了[fr?m],在听觉上就与单词from无异了。这也就使得对连读等音变现象不熟的考生听不出处于上下文中的for him 了。
(3)雅思听力中非固定的、偶发连读现象
雅思听力段子、对话、句子中的非固定的、偶发性连读现象这种情形是雅思听力的连读问题中量,造成错误最多的。因为它不像前两种情形有着一定的典型性而且数量有限,它的发生往往具有很大的随机性,使考生很难预防。因此第三种情形应是连读问题中最难解决的部分。

2019年11月30日雅思大作文题目: 当今时代不需要动物食品或动物产品了吗?In modern world, it is no longer necessary to use animals for food or use animal products, for instance, clothing and medicines. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
雅思写作.jpg
解析&审题
本题是2016年3月12日原题重现。
有人说,现在我们不需要食用动物,或者不需要使用动物产品了,你同意吗?
动物保护者当然会同意,理由很简单,当今的科技已经可以制造食品来替代动物食品,也不再需要用动物的皮毛制品来保暖。同时,斩杀动物可能破坏环境平衡,从而使人类自身遭殃。
但是,如果完全拒绝动物食品,人类的营养又会成问题。所以,不妨这样破题:将动物分成野生动物和家养动物,对于野生动物,我们不能过度猎杀以保护环境平衡,但将家养动物作为食品,或者药品,则是可以的以保证人类充足营养。
老雅这里使用的破题技巧是:将animal进行分类,然后分别讨论。这是写作破题的一种常用技巧,即将题目中的关键词进行分类细化,然后根据不同类别进行讨论。
老师笔记
Nowadays, some people think it unnecessary for us touse animals for food, clothing, or medicines any longer because modern technology has found the substitutes for them. While I certainly agree that now we do not have to kill wild animals for the purpose of our survival, I think we need food from domestic animals for our health.
现在,许多人认为我们不再有必要使用动物制成的食物、衣服和药品,因为现代科技已经找到了它们的代替品。尽管我十分同意我们现在无需为了生存而杀害野生动物,但我认为为了我们的健康,我们需要以家禽家畜为食。
解析
(1) 文章段提出自己观点:人类无需为了生存而杀害野生动物,但为了健康,仍需要以家禽家畜为食。这里看出,本题解题关键在于,将animal分为两类:一类是野生动物,另一类是家养动物,然后分别讨论我们对两类动物的态度。
(2) think it unnecessary for sb. to do sth. 认为做什么是没必要的
(3) substitute (for sth.)n. …的替代品
On the one hand, we should protect wild animals, especially the endangered species of animals and recognize their importance to the entire eco-system. Some people hunt after endangered animals just to make beautiful clothes. This kind of behavior should be prohibited. Hunting rare animals will lead to their extinction and affect the animal diversity, which is detrimental to the balance between nature and animal. Therefore, wild animals ought to be protected, and we can’t satisfy our own pleasure at the price of their extinction.
一方面,我们应该保护野生动物——尤其是濒危物种,也应该承认它们对整体生态系统的重要性。有些人仅仅是为了制作美丽的衣服就猎杀濒危动物,这种行为应当被禁止。猎杀珍稀动物将会导致其灭绝,影响生物多样性,这对动物和自然界之间的平衡十分有害。因此,野生动物应该受到保护,我们不能为了满足自己的利益而以他们的灭绝为代价。
解析
(1) 本段主要阐释野生动物有利于生物多样性和生态系统的平衡,因而野生动物应该受到保护,人类的利益不应以动物的灭绝为代价。
(2) recognize 承认,recognize their importance to 承认…对…的重要性
(3) at the price of 以…为代价
But we still need some domestic animals such as chickens and ducks to supply our daily diet and nutrition. As we all know, meat provides a variety of nutrition that is difficult to obtain from vegetables and fruit. Some microelements in the meat can help prevent diseases too. For the sake of human beings’ health, we need to balance our diet so that it contains both meat and vegetables. It seems that it’s impossible to completely remove meat from our table. The same is true to clothing. The hide of animals like cow and sheep can strengthen the durability of the clothes.
但我们仍旧需要一些家禽,例如鸡鸭等,来提供我们日常饮食所需要的营养。正如我们都知道,肉类能提供各类难以在蔬菜和水果中获取的营养。有些肉类中的微量元素还能预防疾病。为了人类的健康,我们需要平衡饮食结构,既要有肉类也要有蔬菜。我们似乎无法完全将肉类从餐桌上移除。而衣服也是一样。诸如牛皮和羊皮的动物皮毛能增强衣服的耐久性。
解析
(1) 本段主要阐释动物在人类饮食结构和衣着中的必要性(能平衡人的饮食结构增加衣服的耐久性)。
(2) a variety of=various/a range of/diverse 注意“多种多样”的同义表达
(3) for the sake of 为了…起见
To sum up, while modern technology has made it quite necessary for us to kill wild animals to keep us from hunger and cold, we are still in great need of animal products for our own benefits.
总的来说,尽管现代科技使我们没有必要通过杀害野生动物来远离饥饿和寒冷,但为了自身的利益,我们仍十分需要动物产品。
解析
(1) 本段得出结论:我们仍旧十分需要动物产品。
(2) To sum up 表示总结,看了这么多关于总结的表达,“考鸭”们能想到什么同义替换呢?
(3) be in great need of 十分需要
