二、意群停顿 无论说话、朗读或阅读,如果句子太长,我们的语流或注意力会在句子中没有标点的地方暂停。这种暂停要讲究句子的逻辑性,也就在句子的意群与意群之间停顿。就像汉语的断句,正确的断句有助于更清楚地表达情感,加深对文章的理解。意群之间的停顿用/标示标示,如: He goes to school
/ by bike / in the morning。 意群的停顿有如下规则: 1) 标点符号标志遇到逗号“,”、分号“;”、冒号、“:”可以停顿; 2) 从句标志在一个复合句的从句开始之前可以停顿; 3) 重读实词标志每个词组中包括一个实词,如有需要可以在重读的实词后停顿。 Every morning, he washes his hands / at the sink / before he
goes to work. 逗号停顿实词停顿从句停顿 巩固练习:请听13高考真题A故事复述,标注文中的停顿:(201) The postman Tom was apostman.
Every timehe delivered a letter to Mrs.
Brown, he ha(d) to
finish his work quite late / because she liv(ed)
far away. However, Tom did not mind this, for Mrs.
Brownalways kindly invited him in / for a drink. When
Tom enter(ed) the gate of Mrs.
Brown’s house yesterday, he didn’t see her
workingin the garden. He was surprised / because she
usually spent afternoon there/ when the weather was
fine. Tom thought she migh(t)
be in the kitchen, then he wen(t)
to the back of the house / but the door was
locked, so he return(ed) to the
front of house / and knock(ed)
hard on the door. There was no answer. Tom
though(t) this was very strange /
because he knew Mrs. Brown seldom lef(t)
the house. Just thenhe
notice(ed) that her
milk/ delivered early in the morning / was still
ou(t) the door. If Mrs. Brown had
not taken in her milk,
perhap(s) she was ill. Tom walked
aroun(d) the house / and found
an open window. He
went inside an(d)
found Mrs. Brown / was lying on the floor / of the
living room. Tom realiz(ed) that
there was little he could do. He call(ed) for an
ambulance. 三、语调升降 语调(intonation)即说话的腔调,就是一句话里声调(pitch)高低、抑扬、轻重的配制和变化。英语有五种基本语调:升调、降调、升降调∧、降升调∨以及平调→。常用的语调为升调和降调,一般只考查升调和降调。 在连续语句中,升调常用来表示不肯定,语意未完,或表示礼貌,常有含蓄、委婉、安慰、虚心征求意见等意味。降调表示肯定、决断、坚决或终结,但有时含有生硬、不容质疑的意味。 巩固练习:请听13高考真题A角色扮演,标注文中的升调:(202) Mary: Dr. Brown, Welcome to our

quite ashocking idea for
mostpeople, myself included. Generally speaking, the idea is about three parts, the
roleof the
