雅思听力考试造成失爆错误的情况有哪些?有的失爆现象由于经常发生于一些极常用的词组或固定搭配之中,考生已经相当熟悉。如si(t) down, goo(d) night等,考生都习以为常,如果不发生,反倒显得有点别扭了。因此这一类失爆通常不会造成失分。
雅思听力考试
什么是失爆?
失爆即爆破音的失去。如有两个爆破音或同一爆破音([p], [b], [t], [d], [k], [g])连贯出现在同一单词或连贯出现在前一单词尾与后一单词首,前一音只按其发音部位形成阻碍,但不爆破,稍作间息后立即过渡到后一个音的发音部位并爆破。这种现象称为失爆。
如sit down→si(t) down,似乎听不到任何人会把sit的[t]音完完整整地发出来,这个音几乎永远失去。
又如bike key→bi(k)e key,考生听到的通常也不会是清清楚楚的bike和key两个词,而是[bai(k)ki:]。bike中的[k]音在正常的语速中也将失掉。
有时后一单词词首不一定是爆破音,而是其他的辅音也同样可以造成前一单词词尾爆破音的失掉。如 Good night→Goo(d) night, contact lens→conta(ct)lens
失爆现象不仅仅发生在两个单词之间,也可以发生在一个单词的内部。例如:English→En(g)lish, friendly→frien(d)ly等。
雅思听力考试造成失爆错误的情况有哪些?
有的失爆现象由于经常发生于一些极常用的词组或固定搭配之中,考生已经相当熟悉。如si(t) down, goo(d) night等,考生都习以为常,如果不发生,反倒显得有点别扭了。因此这一类失爆通常不会造成失分。
但有更多的失爆考生并不熟悉,这些便是造成雅思听力中因失爆而失分的原因了, 如bi(k)e key等。其造成错误的方式与连读大致相同,主要有以下几种:
(1)考生在书面上极为熟悉的单词、词组、短语,由于失爆的发生,在听力中就可能成为生词,其中包括雅思听力中的常用词和题目考试的关键词。
经典例题
—This calculator isn' t working right.
一I think you've got the battery in upside down.
—What does the woman mean?
? A. The battery is not correctly positioned.
? B. She doesn" t know how the calculator works.
? C. The calculator needs a new battery.
? D. The man should enter the numbers in a different order.
很明显,本题的考试关键就是词组upside down.这是考生很熟悉的一个词组,而且书面答案的标志not correctly也很明显,但这道题失分的人却很多。失分的原因不是在书面答案这一环节上,而是因力磁带上从battery开始,失爆加上连读使第二人的答语面目全非,考生实际听到的变成了:
batte/ry i/n u/(p)si(d)e down→[b?t? ri n? sai daun]。
介词in因连读被肢解而消失,upside中的[p]、[d]两音因失爆也无影无踪,而?(p)] 由于连读又变成了[n?]。于是很多考生竟未能认出关键词upside down,在这个尽人皆知的词组上失了分。
(2)和那些非典型的连读一祥,失爆也不仅仅存在与某些典型的关键词和常用词里,而是普遍地散布于雅思听力的各种段子、句子和对话之中,不时地造成考生的听力障碍,产生各种错误和失分。
如何解决雅思听力中的失爆问题?
解决失爆问题,考生可采取与连读问题相似的对策:
(1)考生在记忆单词和习语时,要注意在听觉上认识其发音,结合对磁带的反复聆听切实把握这些失爆在听觉上的反映。本篇把这些常见的失爆单词及习语列出来,是因为它们的发生往往关系着考试的关键。一旦没听清,就要造成失分。所以,这些含有固定失爆现象的重要词汇必须通过听觉切实把握。
(2)除上述种情况外,数量更大的偶发性失爆仍靠考生在听题实践中通过朗读、跟读、反复比较的基本方法加以解决。
下面列出一些失爆的实例,考生应使用朗读、跟读、反复对照比较的基本方法真切体会失爆音变的发生。
① Chess eats up too much of my time,
up中的爆破音[p]在too中[t]音前先去。
② I’ ve got to get a new cai.
got中[t]在to的[t]前失爆。
③ We slopped at the snack bar for a bite to eat.
at的[t]在the前面失爆,snack的[k]音受bar中[b]阻挡失爆,bite的[t]在to前面因同样原因完全消失。
(3) It'll sure beat carrying around a wallet for a big bill.
beat的[t]在carrying的[k]前面失音,wallet的[t]在for前面极度弱化而近于失音,big的[g]在bill的[b]失爆。
⑤ Let me treat you.
单词let和treat中的两个[t]音,都因为后一个单词的影响而失音。
除以上五个实例的练习外,考生还可参看前文连读音变实例中含有失爆现象的例句。但更大量的工作是在听题时,每当遇到失爆现象都采用对待音变的基本方法——朗读、跟读、多次反复,直到失爆产生的音变能被自己的听觉自然而然地接受。

今天广州新航道雅思培训小编为大家整理了一篇雅思写作词汇搭配的文章,供大家参考,以下是详细内容。
雅思写作词汇搭配的文章
一、名词+介词
相比较动词加介词的结构,名词加介词考生的出错率更高。要想避免此类错误,下面给大家列举几个例子。
例一:consideration for somebody; understanding of something
考虑某人;理解某物
剑四4 Children grow up without consideration for others and without any understanding of where their standard of living comes from.
例二:a problem for somebody某人的问题
剑四4 The government should fund this kind of parental support, because this is not longer a problem for individual families, but also for society as a whole.
例三:advantages to doing something做某事的好处
剑四B While some people think this may be damaging to a child’s development, or to child’s relationship with his or her parents, in fact there are many advantages to having school experience at a young age.

二、动词+介词
动词加名词是英文表达中容易出错的结构:考生总会想当然的给动词搭配一个介词,甚至直接省略不加。下面给大家列举几个例子。
例一:lie in something在于…
剑四2 While some people link happiness to wealth and material success, others think it lies in emotions and loving personal relationships.
例二:lie with somebody应由…承担责任
剑四4 But I think the solution to the problem lies with the families, who need to be more aware of the future consequences of spoiling their children.

例六:use up something用完,耗尽
剑五B We forgot that even the cheapest plastic bag has used up valuable resources and energy to produce.
三、形容词+名词
形容词加名词的结构使用频率也比较高。形容词能够使表达的意思更具体更生动,名词能够使表达显得更加正式和学术。下面给大家列举几个例子。
例一:unpredictable and powerful experiences
无法预知且有影响力的经历
剑五4 It seems that the experiences we have in life are so unpredictable and so powerful that they can boost or over-ride other influences, and there seems to be plenty of research findings to confirm this.

例六:loving personal relationship相亲相爱的人际关系
剑四2 While some people link happiness to wealth and material success, others think it lies in emotions and loving personal relationships.
四、动词+名词
动词加名词结构在英文议论文中使用的频率最多。它既可以用在主动语态的句子中,也可以用在被动语态的句子中。但要注意:这里使用的动词是及物动词。下面给大家列举几个例子。
例一:spoil one’s children溺爱孩子
剑四4 These children are often spoilt, not in terms of love and attention because working parents do not have the time for this, but in more material ways.
例二:Encounter situations and experiences遭遇不同的处境和经历
