Thanks for your email. To answer your question, my new school is great!
It’s very beautiful. There are many modern buildings.
There’s a large sports field next to the teachers’ building. All the students
go there and do exercises together in the morning. It’s amazing! Every
Monday we raise the flag there. It’s a special way to start the week.
The classroom building is behind the sports field. We spend most of the
time in our classroom. It’s big and clean. Every week, we change seats.
This week I sit next to my best friend, Han Lin.
The dining hall is across from the sports field. It’s my favourite place
because there are many kinds of food. I love the Chinese food there.
They make delicious jiaozi.

First, don’t be shy! Try to talk to all of your classmates. Smile and say, “Hello! What’s
your name?” If you didn’t hear the name clearly, try, “Sorry, can you repeat that for
me, please?” Then give your name and say, “Nice to meet you!” It’s really as simple
as that! It’s important to get people’s names right. If you get them wrong, they might
feel sad!
Second, ask questions! Ask about school, sport, music, and more! As you listen, think
of more questions to ask. So when your classmate stops talking, you can jump in and
ask another question! But remember, you have to be a good listener before you can
ask good questions.
Last, don’t forget to share! Tell your classmates something interesting about yourself.
Then your new friends can get to know you too! Soon enough, you’ll be the best of
friends!
I hope you find my advice helpful! Now go make some new friends!

Hello! My name is Alan, and I’m from the UK. Here most people have a first, middle,
and last name. My full name is Alan Luke Wood. Alan is my first name, Luke is my
middle name, and Wood is my last name. We also call the last name a “family name”
or “surname”.
My grandfather also has three names. His full name is George Charles Wood. My
father’s name is the same as my grandfather’s. Can you guess why? It shows great
respect to my grandfather. People call my father George Charles Wood Junior, and
they call my grandfather George Charles Wood Senior.
My mother’s name was Linda Grant, but now her name is Linda Wood. Why is
that? Because in the UK, a woman often changes
her family name to her husband’s family name.
Sometimes, however, the woman’s last name and
the man’s last name are joined together. This allows
both family names to live on.
1 Read the text and circle the correct words to complete the sentences.
1. Luke is Alan’s middle name / family name.
2. In the UK, most/all people have three names.
3. Alan’s father’s last name is Junior / Wood.
4. Alan’s mother’s family name is now Grant / Wood.
5. In the UK, women often / never change their family names when they marry.

My Floating
School
My floating school is a “school bus” and classroom all in one. The boat picks me up
early in the morning. Our classroom is on the boat too. There are several boats on
the river at the same time. Each boat has one teacher and one class. The teacher
teaches us all the subjects.
The boat is long and wide. We sit at wooden desks. Big windows bring in lots of
sunlight and fresh air. There’s a blackboard at the front. There’s a computer next to
it, and it gets its power from the sun. At the end of the school day, the boat takes me
home.
I learn a lot at my school and have fun too. I love my floating school!

本套教材七年级上、下册以及八年级上册设计了“音素学习—由字母及字母组合到读
音—由读音到字母及字母组合”三轮拼读规则训练,以及一些基本的朗读技巧训练,帮助
同学们打好语音基础。
一、26个字母的发音
二、音素
英语共有 44 个音素,其中元音 20 个,辅音 24 个。英语辅音和元音的作用相当于汉
语中的声母和韵母。记录英语音素的符号叫作音标,音标放在两条斜线(/ /)内,以免和
字母混淆。
1. 元音
/i:/ /I/ /e/ /{/ /3:/ /@/ /A:/ /V/ /O:/ /Q/ /u:/ /U/
/eI/ /aI/ /OI/ /@U/ /aU/ /I@/ /e@/ /U@/
注:/i/ 是 /I/ 的音位变体, /u/ 是 /U/ 的音位变体,这两个变体音 /i/ 和 /u/ 是弱读
音,出现在非重读音节中。
2. 辅音
清音 /p/ /t/ /k/ /f/ /T/ /s/ /S/ /tS/ /h/
浊音 /b/ /d/ /g/ /v/ /D/ /z/ /Z/ /dZ/
/m/ /n/ /N/ /l/ /r/ /w/ /j/

三、朗读基本知识
1. 单词重音(Word Stress)
英语单词有单音节词、双音节词和多音节词之分。含有一个响亮音素的声音片段叫
作一个音节。英语里的元音都是响亮的音素。由一个音节构成的词叫作单音节词,如 hi、
mum、dad、first、meet。由两个或两个以上音节构成的词称为双音节词或多音节词。
对于双音节词或多音节词,有的音节须读得重些,叫作重读音节;有的音节要读得轻些,
叫作非重读音节。重读音节用重音符号“ ”标出。
(1) 双 音 节 词 的 重 音 一 般 落 在 第 一 个 音 节 上, 如 jacket 、question
、sweater (r)。
(2)少数双音节词的重音在第二个音节上,如 excuse 、July 、
about 。
(3) 三 音 节 词 的 重 音 一 般 也 在 第 一 个 音 节 上, 如 favourite 、vegetable
、interesting 。
(4)少数三音节词的重音在第二个音节上,如 computer (r)、tomato
、December (r)。
(5)有的双音节词和多音节词有两个重音,一个是主重音,另一个是次重音。次重音
用“ ”表示,标在次重音的左下方。如 thirteen 、fifteen 、afternoon
。
2. 连读(Linking)
在同一个意群中,前后相连的两个单词之间,前一个单词末尾的辅音和后一个单词词
首的元音有时可连起来读,这种现象被称为连读。连读现象是在语言交际中,特别是随着
语速的加快而自然产生的,可用符号“ ”表示。常见的连读情况有以下两种。
(1)辅音 + 元音
当前一个词的词尾是辅音,后一个词以元音开头时,这两个词可以连读。例如:
It’s a good idea. Come on, Jack! Is it on the desk?
Look at it. Let me get it. Can you play games with us?
(2)r / re + 元音
当前一个词的词尾是 r 或 re,后一个词的词首是元音时,这两个词可以连读,中间增
加一个 音。例如:
Ask
the teacher for it.
I need a pair of sports shoes for school.
Pronunciation 93
3. 不完全爆破(Incomplete Plosion)
在单词或语句中,当三对爆破音 // 和 //、// 和 //、// 和 // 之中任何两个相
邻时,或当爆破音与一些别的辅音相邻时,第一个爆破音只按发音部位形成阻碍,但不发
生爆破,稍停即发出后一个辅音,这种现象被称为不完全爆破。例如:
a do(c)tor (r) an ol(d) cat / /
si(t) down / / a bi(g) bla(ck)board / /
Goo(d)bye! / / Sto(p) talking. / /
4. 句子重音(Sentence Stress)
英语中每个独立的词都有词的重音,但在连贯言语中有些词就失去重音了,这是因
为并非所有的词在语句中都有同等的重要性。一般来说,名词、动词、形容词和副词等重
读,而冠词、连词、介词、人称代词、助动词、情态动词肯定式等不重读。例如:
(1)A: I can sing, but I can’t dance.
(2)A: Does she like history?
B: No, she doesn’t.
(3)A: What time do you usually get up?
B: At eight thirty in the morning.
5. 语调(Intonation)
在说话或朗读时声调的抑扬叫作语调。英语的基本语调分为“降调”和“升调”两
种,主要表现为语句末尾语调的降与升,用语调符号“ ”
(指降调)或“ ”
(指升调)
来表示。
英语语调变化非常丰富。初学者要首先了解这两个基本语调的主要用法。
(1)降调一般用于:
A. 陈述句 It’s time to get up.
B. 特殊疑问句 When does he go to bed?
C. 祈使句 Don’t run in the hallways.
D. 感叹句 What a nice day!
(2)升调一般用于:
A. 一般疑问句 Can we bring music players to school?
B. 选择疑问句 or 前的部分 Is his hair long or short?

类中最复杂的一种,不同语法书的动词分类有所不同。此处简要介绍系动词(linking
verb)、实义动词(full verb)、助动词(auxiliary verb)和情态动词(modal verb)。

成介词短语。

在数的方面必须保持一致。
