【听力原文】
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this fantastic tour of London by bus. My name ’s Greg and I am your guide this afternoon. As you can see, we ’re on an open-top bus, so you can see all the attractions from your seats and you don ’t need to walk anywhere. And please don ’t worry about the rain; I ’m sure it ’ll stop soon. Well, it ’s two o ’clock and the tour takes three hours. First we ’ll see Madame Tussauds, the museum with candle models of famous people. And then we ’ll drive along the most famous shopping street in the world, Oxford Street. We can buy many souvenirs in the shops. After that we ’ll see the famous clock Elizabeth Tower. As we drive along the river we ’ll see the popular attraction, the London Eye, from which you can see the whole city on sunny day. Then we ’ll see Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Finally we ’ll drive back to Buckingham Palace at 4: 30, just in time for a cup of tea with the Queen. No, not exactly, but there ’s a lovely cafe near the palace where you can get a cup of tea.

1. “辅音+元音”型连读
连读在同一个意群里, 如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾, 后一个词是以元音开头, 这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。
2. “r/re+元音”型连读
如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾, 后一个词是以元音开头, 这时的r或re不但要发/r/, 而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。
3. “辅音+半元音”型连读
英语语音中的/j/和/w/是半元音, 如果前一个词是以辅音结尾, 后一个词是以半元音, 特别是/j/开头, 此时也要连读。
4. “元音+元音”型连读
如果前一个词以元音结尾, 后一个词以元音开头, 这两个音往往也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。
