答题要求

1.对于分数要求高的同学们争取25s以内读完，短的20s以内读完，读完就点NEXT，不要犹豫；

2.没到句号的地方不要停顿，逗号其实可以忽略的，气群不够长可按照意群小小地停顿一下，否则速度上不去；

3.而对于分数要求不高且基础不够好的同学们保证规定35秒以内读完即可，不要过度追求速度导致发音模糊。

例题解析

1.Using correct pronunciation.发音是口语中的一个重要的评分标准。首先，把较难的单词的发音掌握好（以下采用英式音标），同学们要做到简单的单词不读错，不认识或难的单词少读错，特别是带有常见元音的单词。

Domestication [dəʊ,mestɪkeɪʃən]is an evolutionary [,iːvə'luːʃənərɪ],rather than a political, development. They were more likely to survive andprosper ['prɒspə]in an alliance [ə'laɪəns]with humans than on their own. Humans provided the animals/'ænɪm(ə)l/with food and protection, in exchange [ɪks'tʃeɪndʒ]for which the animals provided the humans their milk and eggs and -- yes -- their flesh[fleʃ].

以上标记音标的单词包括生词和带有常见元音的单词（也是容易出错的单词）。由于汉语拼音因为没有[æ]，中国人习惯用[e]来替代，比如把“bag”[bæg]读成“beg”[beg]。至于其他音标具体怎么读，大家可以搜索BBC英式音标视频教程进行学习，一定要反复看、听、读。

2. Using correct pronunciation.其次，明明是英语，硬是像是说日语，所以光快、光流畅是不行的。在朗读的过程中同学们一定要将每个单词的元音发饱满，注意不要吞音，在需要连读的时候使用连读。

Humans provided the animals with food and protection, in︵exchangefor which the animals provided the humans their milk and eggsand-- yes -- their flesh.

①单词的细节如名词复数(s, es)、过去时态(ed)和副词(ly)要读出来，不要吞音。

②the在以元音为首的单词前应发/ði/，如文中的the /ði/ animals。

③要注意连读（︵），不但能节省时间，也增强整体的流利度，文中已标记一些。
