也發(fā)此音。如：lie,pie,die等。1輔音連綴在英語詞匯中，如果有兩個或兩個以上的輔音音素結(jié)合在一起，這種語法現(xiàn)象稱為輔音連綴。輔音連綴發(fā)生在詞首，詞中和詞尾。如：詞首blue詞中basketball詞尾desk讀輔音連綴時，兩個輔音不能有停頓，幾乎同時發(fā)音，前面的輔音必須讀得輕一些，短促些。Listenandrepeat.Noticethedifferenceinstressandmeaningofthesamesentence.IvisitedtheredwoodforestsinCaliforniaseveraltimes.(nototherforests)IvisitedtheredwoodforestsinCaliforniaseveraltimes.(nototherplaces)IvisitedtheredwoodforestsinCaliforniaseveraltimes.(notonlyonce)句子重音句子重音可分為三類：表意重音，邏輯重音和情感重音。?表意重音表意重音是一種非常普遍的現(xiàn)象。一般來說，在句子中需重讀的詞都是實詞，不重讀的詞多為虛詞或結(jié)構(gòu)詞。?邏輯重音邏輯重音的作用是表達說話者的意愿，說話者可以把重音放在想要強調(diào)的任何單詞上。?情感重音情感重音是一種特殊的重音。在口語中，當(dāng)說話者想要表達強烈的情感時，他會把強重音放在他想要強調(diào)的詞上。21.I’mstartingatestonanimalsandplants.我要開始一場關(guān)于動植物的測試。在此句中，on是介詞

，意為“關(guān)于；有關(guān)”，用來表明test（測試）的內(nèi)容主題是animalsandplants。例如：Shewroteabookonhistory.她寫了一本關(guān)于歷史的書?！颈嫖觥縜bout與onon強調(diào)專業(yè)性、學(xué)術(shù)性或嚴肅性，內(nèi)容通常是系統(tǒng)的、深入的，涉及理論、研究或?qū)ｉT領(lǐng)域。about側(cè)重日常性、通俗性或泛泛而談，內(nèi)容更偏向非正式的內(nèi)容。例如：Shetoldmeastoryaboutherpetdog.她給我講了一個關(guān)于她寵物狗的故事。Languagepoints2.What’sthelargestanimalintheworld?世界上最大的動物是什么？largest是large的最高級形式。最高級前面一般會有定冠詞the進行修飾。形容詞和副詞的最高級一般分為規(guī)則變化和不規(guī)則變化。規(guī)則變化如下：構(gòu)成方法比較級單音節(jié)詞和部分雙音節(jié)詞一般情況下，最高級詞尾加-esttallest；shortest；fastest以字母e結(jié)尾的詞，最高級詞尾加-stlargest；latest重讀閉音節(jié)詞尾只有一個輔音字母時，先雙寫該輔音字母，然后最高級詞尾加-estbiggest；fattest；thinnest以“輔音字母+y”結(jié)尾的雙音節(jié)詞，先把y改為i，然后最高級詞尾加-esteasiest；heaviest；earliest多音節(jié)詞和部分雙音節(jié)詞詞前加most構(gòu)成最高級mostbeautiful；mostpopularLanguagepoints不規(guī)則變化如下：It’salsotheheaviestanimalonearth.Thecheetahrunsthefastest.AndIthinkit’sthemostbeautifulanimalintheworld.Ithinkmossisoneoftheoldestplants.原級最高級good/wellbestbad/badlyworstmany/muchmostlittleleastfarfarthestfurthest例如：What’sthelargestanimalintheworld?Whichanimalrunsthefastest?Whatistheoldestplantintheworld?Whichkindoftreeisthetallestintheworld?Languagepoints3.Well,Ithinkmossisoneoftheoldestplants.嗯，我認為苔蘚是最古老的植物之一。oneof+限定詞+復(fù)數(shù)名詞/代詞限定詞包括冠詞（the）、形容詞性物主代詞（my,their）、指示代詞（these,those）等。表示“……中的一個”，強調(diào)在整體中選取一個個體。例如：Sheisoneofmyfriends.她是我的一個朋友。ThisisoneofthebestmoviesI’veeverseen.這是我看過的最好的電影之一。Languagepoints【主謂一致】oneof結(jié)構(gòu)作主語時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)（因為核心詞是“one”，表示“一個”）。例如：OneofthestudentsisfromCanada.這些學(xué)生中有一個來自加拿大。Oneofthesebookshasamissingpage.這些書中有一本缺頁了?！咀罡呒壌钆洹俊皁neof”常與
