Unit 4 SectionA1a-Pronunciation语言点精讲精练
I．语言点精讲
1. I’m starting a test on animals and plants. 我要开始一场关于动植物的测试。
在此句中，on 是介词 ，意为 “关于；有关” ，用来表明 test（测试）的内容主题是 animals and plants 。
例如：She wrote a book on history. 她写了一本关于历史的书。
【辨析】about与on
on 强调专业性、学术性或严肃性，内容通常是系统的、深入的，涉及理论、研究或专门领域。
about 侧重日常性、通俗性或泛泛而谈，内容更偏向非正式的内容。
例如：She told me a story about her pet dog.
她给我讲了一个关于她宠物狗的故事。
2. Well, I think moss is one of the oldest plants. 嗯，我认为苔藓是最古老的植物之一。
one of + 限定词 + 复数名词 / 代词
限定词包括冠词（the）、形容词性物主代词（my, their）、指示代词（these, those）等。表示 “…… 中的一个”，强调在整体中选取一个个体。
例如：She is one of my friends. 她是我的一个朋友。
This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
这是我看过的最好的电影之一。
【主谓一致】
one of 结构作主语时，谓语动词用单数（因为核心词是 “one”，表示 “一个”）。
例如：
One of the students is from Canada. 这些学生中有一个来自加拿大。
One of these books has a missing page. 这些书中有一本缺页了。
【最高级搭配】
“one of” 常与 形容词最高级 连用，构成 one of the + 最高级 + 复数名词，
表示 “最…… 的…… 之一”。
The Great Wall is one of the greatest wonders in the world.
长城是世界上最伟大的奇迹之一。
3. I completely agree with you.我完全同意你的观点。
①completely adv.彻底地；完全地 complete adj.完全的 v.完成
② agree with+ 人 / 观点 agree to + 计划 / 提议等
agree on + 具体事项 agree + to do sth.
派生词：agreement n. 同意；协定
反义词：disagree v. 不同意
这份完整的报告完全准确，涵盖了所有必要的细节。
The complete report was completely correct, covering all the necessary details．
I agree to your suggestion that we should have a meeting tomorrow.
“your suggestion” 属于提议，“agree to + 计划 / 提议
They couldn't agree on the time to hold the party.
“the time” 是具体事项，“agree on + 具体事项”
My teacher agrees with my decision to take part in the competition.
agree with + 观点
We all agree to plant more trees in the park this weekend.
agree + to do sth.
Do you agree with what he said at the meeting
“what he said” 属于观点，“agree with + 观点”
4.It appeared on earth around 470 million years ago ...我完全同意你的观点。
① 当表示确切的数目: 数词+ million(单数)
② 表示不确切的数目: “millions of＋复数名词”
每年有数以百万计的游客前往巴黎参观埃菲尔铁塔。
Millions of tourists visit Paris every year to see the Eiffel Tower.

Camels are amazing animals. They aren’t the most beautiful animals in the world. But they are certainly the most useful animals in hot areas such as North Africa and the Middle East. They usually help people carry things. 1
Do you know that Arabian camels are not the same as Asian camels If you take a close look at them, you will find that Arabian camels are dromedaries. That is to say you can only find one hump (驼峰) on its back. But Asian camels are Bactrians—they have two humps. 2 Isn’t that interesting
An adult camel is about 2 meters tall and the weight of each is about 500 kilograms. 3 And its feet are big and soft.
Most of the camels can live for about 40 years, but usually they don’t have to work when they are about 25.
Camels mainly eat grass, leaves and bushes. They can walk for more than 600 kilometers even if they are not given water. 4 But when there is water, they can drink as much as 90 liters. Camels walk slowly. They don’t like running because it’s too hot. But if they need, they can run at 20 kilometers an hour.
So, next time, when you travel in a desert, if a man says, “Look, here comes a ship. Do you want to take a ride ” 5
A．Its legs are long.
B．Can you understand what the “ship” is
C．Now I’d like to tell you something about them.
D．They look similar to each other.
E．They are the two main kinds in the world.
F．They only need to drink water every seven days.
G．They don’t need to drink water at all.

So the help for the Chinese sturgeon is very necessary.

From then on, the country also 9 to stop people from fishing in the important areas of the Yangtze River. We believe the Chinese sturgeon will become more and more.

辅音连缀
在英语词汇中，如果有两个或两个以上的辅音音素结合在一起，这种语法现象称为辅音连缀。辅音连缀发生在词首，词中和词尾。如：词首blue 词中basketball 词尾 desk
读辅音连缀时，两个辅音不能有停顿，几乎同时发音，前面的辅音必须读得轻一些，短促些。

Listen and repeat. Notice the difference in stress and meaning of the same sentence.
1.：I visited the redwood forests in California several times.
标绿的 redwood 读重音（声音响、拖长一点），意思是：
→ 我去的是红杉林，不是其他森林（比如松树林、柏树林）！
读的时候，夸张把 “redwood” 重读，其他词轻读，对比感受。
I visited the redwood forests in California several times. (not other forests)
I visited the redwood forests in California several times. (not other places)
I visited the redwood forests in California several times. (not only once)
2. I visited the redwood forests in California several times.
标绿的 California 读重音，意思是：
→ 我去的是加州的红杉林，不是其他地方的
重读 “California”，强调地点的唯一性。
3. 第三句：I visited the redwood forests in California several times.
标绿的 several 读重音，意思是：
→ 我去了好几次红杉林，不止一次！
带读技巧：重读 “several”，突出次数多。
核心概念：
句子重音改变语义（一句话，重音不同，意思不同！）

I visited the redwood forests in California several times. (not only once)
核心概念：
在英语口语中，我们不会像机器人一样平均地读出每个单词。相反，我们会将某些词读得更重、更长、音调更高，这些词就是句子的重音所在。重音的作用就像聚光灯，它照亮了说话者最想强调的、最重要的信息。
重音的基本原则：
通常，句子中的实词（包含重要信息的词，如名词、主要动词、形容词、副词、数词）会接受重音，而虚词（语法功能词，如冠词、介词、连词、人称代词）则弱读。
Presentation
Look and learn
Pronunciation
在英语句子中，实词（如名词、动词、形容词、副词等）承载重要信息，一般需要重读；而充当语法功能的词（如冠词、连词、介词、助动词等）一般弱读。但这条读音规律并非一成不变，句子中的重音可以随着说话者要表达的意思的变化而变化。例如：
Please pass me the book. （强调把“书”递给我，而不是把别的东西给我）
Please pass the book to me. （强调把书递给“我”，而不是给其他人）
A: I think she will win.
B: She won’t. （预测她“不会”赢）
A: She will. （坚信她一定“会”赢）
一般情况下，will,won’t等功能词在句中弱读，但在上述情境中这两个词需要重读。
