001第一部分 基础必备知识
一、语音基础必备知识
（一）易错易混发音讲解
对于中国学生来说，英语中的一些音素发音非常相近，听起来十分容易混淆，同
时许多考生在听力考试中误把此单词听成彼单词，造成考试中的误听，导致失分。
【知识精讲1】[e]-[æ]
The old man gave her a loving pet.
The old man gave her a loving pat.
【知识精讲2】字母组合“th”的发音
和“th”字母组合相应的一组清浊辅音是[θ]与[ð]，它们的共同特点是发音时都
要将舌尖含在上下齿之间。
【知识精讲3】[w]与[v]的发音区别
汉语中，尤其是在北方话中，这两个发音经常混在一起，但不会产生语义上的区
别。所以，中国学生很少注意两者的区别。而在英语中，这两个音是截然不同的。[w]
是半元音，发音时首先双唇收圆，然后可以随后面元音的不同而过渡到不同的口型；
而[v]是摩擦音，发音时上齿接触下唇，气流通过时产生摩擦，无论同什么样的元音组
合，首先都能听到明显的摩擦。第一部分 基础必备知识

合，首先都能听到明显的摩擦。
001六级听力讲义
【知识精讲4】 字母“r”在词首时的发音
字母“r”位于词首的发音也是中国学生发音的一大难点，主要原因是受汉语发音
习惯的影响。中国学生在很多情况下把它读作类似汉语的“日”的发音，而在英语中
字母“r”其实更偏向汉语中“若”的发音。
【知识精讲5】[au] 的发音
很多学生会把[au]这个音同元音[a]的发音相混淆，或者用汉语拼音中的“ao”取
代。发[au] 这个音时，要从[a]过渡到[u]，两个音都要读得饱满。
【知识精讲6】[h]的发音方法
同汉语拼音的“h”相比较，英语中的[h]是清辅音，但有的同学会把[h]音发成
类似汉语“喝”的音。发[h]音时，气流从肺部呼出，经过声门摩擦，声带不振动，非
常轻，听力考试中经常不发音，从而形成“击穿”的语音现象。
【知识精讲7】[l]和[n]的发音区别
[l]是舌边音，发音时气流从口腔流过；发[n]音时，发音的气流从鼻腔流过。另
外，发这两个音时，舌头虽然都抵上颚，但[l]接触很快、很轻，而[n]要紧抵住不放。
（二）英美发音区别
标准美音GA：General American
标准英音RP：Received Pronunciation
【知识精讲1】英美发音元音区别
1. 当字母“r”出现在单词的元音字母组合中时，美式发音会出现独特的卷舌音。
(1) far car large charge smart
(2) dear clear fear cheer here
(3) air dare pear their where
002第一部分 基础必备知识
(4) for more door pour before
(5) sure poor tour cure fewer
(6) her turn learn word first
(7) fire tired higher liar buyer
(8) hour flour shower power tower
(9) destroyer employer
2. 元音[a:]在用于[f]，[θ]，[s]前时，美语发音为[æ]。
(1) half (2) bath (3) pass (4) ask
(5) calm (6) palm (7) father (8) plaza
3. 英式发音[ɔ:]变为美式发音[ɔ]或[a]。
(1) bought (2) talk (3) ball (4) caught
(5) law (6) saw
4. 英式发音[ɔ]变为美式发音[a]。
(1) hot (2) cot (3) clock (4) shop
(5) box (6) not
5. 英式发音[ʌ]变为美式发音[ə]。
(1) up (2) love (3) cut (4) another
(5) above (6) bus (7) cup
【知识精讲2】 英美发音辅音区别
1. 字母“t”可出现在单词的词首、词中和词尾三个部位。其中字母“t”在词首与
词尾时的发音方式英美相同，例如，tight [tait]。而其在词中时，英式英语和美式英语
却有两种读法。
city forty butter
water dirty matter
writer better Betty
[t] [d]
Italian Italy
attack attic
atomic atom
photography photograph
003六级听力讲义
2. 辅音区别的第二种情况
英音 美音
(1) what
(2) where
(3) which
(4) somewhere
(5) meanwhile
（三）连读规则
很多同学抱怨听力考试中语速过快，跟不上，其实不是朗读的速度快，而是朗读
时单词与单词之间的连接更加紧密，经常会出现连读的情况，而常见的连读规则不过
12条而已，同学们一旦掌握了这12条连读规则，不但能扫平英语听力障碍，而且能轻
松听懂电影、电视、音乐中的英语发音，甚至能征服托福、雅思这类国外语言类考试。
【知识精讲1】 辅音对元音的连读
当前面的单词以辅音结尾，紧随其后的单词以元音开头，这时将前面的辅音同后
面的元音连在一起，像是构成一个音节一样的读出来，以使语言更加流畅自然。而且
连读必须发生在短语或句子的同一个意群中，在意群（及短语或从句）之间有停顿时，
两个短语或两个从句间相邻的音不连读。
1. [r]+元音
far away for a year a number of
2. [l]+元音
internal affairs
3. [t]+元音
keep it up pick it up put it off
take it easy look out of get out of
4. [n]+元音
pen and paper in an instance in an hour
clean and dirty an old lady ten o’clock
【知识精讲2】 辅音与辅音的叠合、击穿、失爆
5. 叠合现象：前面单词结尾的辅音与紧随其后的单词的起始辅音为同一个音时，
只需读一次，而不必将这个音读两次。
004第一部分 基础必备知识
more rain fall leaves part time job at two o’clock
stop playing keep pace big game big garage
some men same machine bus station
6. 击穿现象：一般情况下，当句子中前一个单词以辅音结尾，后一个单词以辅音
[h]开头，连读的时候，[h]音可以被击穿，也就是h不发音。常见于爆破音遇到[h]
音时。
This is his book. Get him out of here.
7. 失爆现象：当一个爆破音后面紧跟着另一个爆破音时，前面的爆破音不发生爆
破。也就是说对于前一个爆破音，只作发音的口型，刚要发音时，立即发出第二个爆
破音。这种情形常发生在[p]、[b]、[t]、[d]、[k]、[g]等辅音出现的时候。
last class next day It doesn’t matter.
【知识精讲3】 元音与元音的连读
元音对元音的连读实际上是在元音之间插入半元音[w]或[j]，从而使纯元音音节
之间的过渡变得自然、流畅，读起来更加上口。
8. 前面的单词以[u]、[u:]、[au]或[əu]这些音素结尾，紧随其后的单词以元音开
头，这时，在两个单词之间加入半元音[w]作为过渡。
doing going go out go away
blew away throw away how old knew it
who else you are blue on top clue in
too often
9. 前面的单词以元音[ei]、[ai]、[ɔi]、[i:]或[i]这些音素结尾，紧随其后的单词以
元音开头，这时，在两个单词之间加入半元音[ j ]作为过渡。
play around any other stay up be on time
say it try it see it through she is
try again my only child the early bird see off
【知识精讲4】 连读音变
10. [t] + [j]=[tʃ]
Nice to meet you.
11. [d] + [j]=[dʒ]
Could you?
Did you?
005六级听力讲义
12. [s] + [j]=[ʃ]
I miss you.
God bless you.
（四）重音及语调
【知识精讲1】 什么是词重音
英语单词都由一至多个音节构成，一个单词至少要有一个音节。而在一组音节中，
总有一个音节比其它的音节读的声音大一些，用的力量足一些，这个音节就是所谓的
重读音节。
【知识精讲2】 单音节单词
go come try
【知识精讲3】 双音节单词
da dá forget begin
dá da window teacher
【知识精讲4】 三音节单词
dá da da medicine radio
da da dá employee guarantee
da dá da professor October
【知识精讲5】 长音节单词
da dá da da democracy
da da dá da da anniversary possibility
【知识精讲6】 短语和句子的重音
重读：实词（名词、动词、形容词、副词、数词）
弱读：语法词
【知识精讲7】 什么是短语或句子的重音
在构成短语或句子的单词中，总有一个单词比别的单词读的重一些，这个单词本
身的重读音节也就成为句子的重心。在不特殊强调或作对比的情况下，短语或句子的
重音往往落在最后一个出现的实词的重读音节上。（在对比句中，分别代表所对照内容
物的单词通常会受到相等程度的重读。）
to the store the tickets our teacher
going to London leave tomorrow an English teacher
006第一部分 基础必备知识
Will you mail it? She is studying English.
Does she speak it? I need a book.
I need pencil and paper. Do you want coffee or tea?
【知识精讲8】 实义重读
在进行语言表达时，通常讲话人会在一句话中所要强调的内容上加大音量。即在
句子中代表讲话人所强调内容的单词会受到重读，也就是通常所说的“强调什么，重
读什么”。
Tom likes to play soccer.（不特殊强调）
Tom likes to play soccer.（强调“玩”）
Tom likes to play soccer.（强调“喜欢”）
Tom likes to play soccer.（强调“人”）

011六级听力讲义
（3）题文同序
大部分听力题目的出题顺序与所听文章内容顺序保持一致：基本上都是从前往后
出题。至于文章主旨类问题，例如“What is the talk mainly about?”，主旨通常在文章一
开始就会提到，但需要听完全文进行总结。根据题文同序原则听音时，如果已经出现
下一题选项的关键词，就要迅速扫读该题的选项是否与所听到的文章内容匹配，以
免错过题目。
（4）标志词与常设考点
1. 段首、段尾处
不管是长对话、篇章，还是讲话/报道/讲座，录音的第一句话或者段首句、段尾

year he won three gold medals in the Winter Olympics, a record in ski racing that has never
been topped.
Q: What is said to be Killy’s biggest honor in his skiing career?
013六级听力讲义
2. 同义替换
六级听力考试中，至少有一半的正确选项和对应的原文答案句之间存在同义替换。
常见的同义替换形式有两种：
第二部分 技巧精讲 & 专项训练 & 真题演练
1） ：词性的替换、短语表达的替换、否定词（双重否定
表肯定）的替换等。例如creation = creative tasks（词根不变，词性变化）；flooded =
submerged in water；no longer listen to = stopped listening to。
2） ：主被动语态的替换、因果关系的对调、肯否定替换，

W: Hello.
M: Hello. Is that the reference library?
W: Yes. Can I help you?
M: I hope so. I rang earlier and asked for some information about Denys Hawtin, the
scientist. You asked me to ring back.
W: Oh, yes. I have found something.
M: Good. I’ve got a pencil and paper. Perhaps you could read out what it says.
W: Certainly. Hawtin, Denys. Born: Darlington, 1836, died New York, 1920.
M: Yes, got that.
W: Inventor and physicist, the son of a farm worker. He was admitted to the University
of London at the age of 15.
M: Yes.

refrigeration which arose from his work in low temperature physics. He became
professor of Mathematics at the University of Manchester at 24, where he remained for
twelve years. During that time, he married one of his students, Natasha Willoughby.
M: Yes, go on.
W: Later, working together in London, they laid the foundations of modern Physics by
showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic
particles. For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1910,
and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves. In his
lifetime, Hawtin patented 244 inventions. Do you want any more?
M: Yes, when did he go to America?
W: Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York and died there suddenly after only
three weeks. Still he was a good age.
M: Yes, I suppose so. Well, thanks.

听力原文：
W: This is Lisa Meyer in the WBZ newsroom, talking with Mike Bassichis, who is the
director of the Gifford School, about the cleanup from last week’s fire and what the
possible cause of that blaze may have been.
M: We’re getting ready for our entire staff to return early from vacation tomorrow
whereupon we are going to move into temporary classrooms. And the other buildings
that did not burn are being de-smoked. As to the cause of the fire, all we know is
that we were having trouble with the pilot lights since we bought the stove in July
and it had been serviced three times. Well, as a matter of fact, we think it was a
malfunctioning stove that may have caused the fire. Nothing definite yet has been
determined.
W: Have you heard from other schools or other institutional users of this stove that have
had the same problem?
M: No. I wouldn’t know anything more about the stove itself. All I know is that this fire
went up so quickly that there’s been a suspicion about why it went up so quickly.
And it may be that there was a gas blast. But, again, this has not been determined
officially by anybody.
W: I got you. When do kids come back to school?
M: Next Monday, and we will be ready for them. Monday January 4. We’re just
extremely thrilled that no one was hurt and that’s because of the fire fighters that
were here, nine of them. They’re wonderful.
W: And I’m sure you send your thanks out to them, uh?
M: Well, we’re sending out thanks to them in a letter or in any other way we can. I heard
a story today where one of our kids actually baked some cookies and is taking it to
the fire department, to give it to them.

019六级听力讲义
听力原文：
M: It’s my last day at work tomorrow. I’ll start my new job in two weeks. My human
resources manager wants to conduct an interview with me before I leave.
W: Ah, an exit interview. Are you looking forward to it?
M: I’m not sure how I feel about it. I resigned because I’ve been unhappy at that
company for a long time, but I’m not sure if I should tell them how I really feel.
W: To my way of thinking, there are two main potential benefits that come from
unleashing an agitated stream of truth during an exit interview. The first is release.
Unburdening yourself of frustration, and perhaps even anger to someone who isn’t a
friend or close colleague can be wonderfully freeing.
M: And let me guess. The second is that the criticism will, theoretically, help the
organization I’m leaving to improve, making sure employees of the future are less
likely to encounter what I did?
W: That’s right. But the problem with the company improvement part is that very often
it doesn’t happen. An exit interview is supposed to be private, but often isn’t. In my
company, the information gained from these interviews is often not confidential. The
information is used as dirt against another manager, or can be traded among senior
managers.
M: Now you’ve got me rethinking what I’ll disclose in the interview. There is always a
chance that it could affect my reputation and my ability to network in the industry. It
is a pretty small industry after all.
W: Anything you initially gained from the instant satisfaction of telling it like it is, you
might lose down the track by injuring your future career prospects.
M: Right. Perhaps I would be better getting things off my chest by going to one of those
rate-your-employer websites.
W: You could. And don’t do the interview at all. Exit interviews are not mandatory.
Questions 1 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.
Q1: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
Q2: What does the woman think about the information gained from an exit interview?

M: Today, I’m talking to the renowned botanist, Jane Forster.
W: Thank you for inviting me to join you on the show, Henry.
M: Recently, Jane, you’ve become quite a celebrity, since the release of your latest
documentary. Can you tell us a little about it?
W: Well, it follows my expedition to study the vegetation indigenous to the rain forest in
equatorial areas of southeast Asia.
M: You certainly get to travel to some very exotic locations.
W: It was far from glamorous, to be honest. The area we visited was accessible only by
canoe and the living conditions in the hut were primitive, to say the least. There was
no electricity. And our water supply was a nearby stream.
M: How were the weather conditions while you were there?
W: The weather was not conducive to our work at all, since the humidity was almost
unbearable. At midday, we stayed in the hut and did nothing. It was too humid to
either work or sleep.
021六级听力讲义
M: How long did your team spend in the jungle?
W: Originally, we planned to be there for a month. But in the end, we stayed for only 2
weeks.
M: Why did you cut the expedition short?
W: Halfway through the trip, we received news that a hurricane was approaching. And
we had to evacuate at very short notice.
M: That sounds like a fascinating anecdote.
W: It was frightening. The fastest evacuation route was through river rapids. We had to
navigate them carrying all of our equipment.
M: So overall, was the journey unsuccessful?
W: Absolutely not. We gathered a massive amount of data about the local plant life.
M: Why do you put up with such adverse conditions?
W: Botany is an obsession for me. Many of the destinations I visit have a stunning
scenery. And I get to meet a variety of people from all over the world.
M: So where will your next destination be?
W: I haven’t decided yet.
M: Then we can leave it for another vacation. Thanks.

could end up no better off, maybe worse off.

W: Yes, professor. I wish to study architecture.
M: Ah, that’s a wonderful profession. Why did you choose it?
W: I gave a lot of thought to things you said during our last discussion, and I decided
architecture made the most sense for me. In particular, I’m attracted to the marriage
of design and engineering.
M: That’s great, but I seem to remember you were preoccupied with all the lofty
mathematics. You no longer think this aspect will be too hard for you?
W: No. I was doing some online research and I think I should be able to manage. Math
might be the toughest subject I encounter in the curriculum, but I’ll simply put in the

most interesting issue you are dealing with right now?
M: It’s easy to focus on the challenges, but so far, I find these ages to be kind of
wonderful. They are independent, and they have their own curiosities and obsessions.
You can talk to them about fairly sophisticated subject matter such as politics.

test came back clear. There is no indication of any digestive issues.
M: So then, why do I feel so poorly all the time?
W: It’s probably due to overwork and stress.
M: No, it can’t be. I’ve always been working hard but I’ve never felt stress. Other people
suffering complain about that, but I don’t. It must be something else.
W: What you have just described is a common sentiment. Many people who suffer from
stress fail to recognise it. You told me you often work long into the night, right?
M: Yes, most days, in fact. But I’ve been doing that for about 20 years now.

听力原文：
W: Today on People in the News, our guest is John Williams. The name may not sound
familiar to you, but John was once an acclaimed basketball player. John, you stunned
fans by leaving the sport at just 25. Why did you retire so early?
M: Meg, I loved being an athlete, but I didn’t love being a celebrity. I was in the
limelight when I was still a high school student and went professional right after high
school graduation, which was a mistake. I was a shy kid and I wasn’t ready for all the
media attention.
W: But walking away from millions of dollars at the height of your career? Most people
wouldn’t be able to resist the lure of such a high salary. When you left the sport, there
031六级听力讲义
was speculation that you were having issues with your teammates or even an injury.
M: Not at all. It was hard to quit. I was tempted to stay in the game, because I loved
basketball and I loved my team. As for money, I turned professional at 18, so I’d
actually earned a lot and saved most of it because l had great financial advisors. I
knew basketball wasn’t a career with a lot of longevity for most players, so I wanted
to change careers while I was still young.
W: Okay, that was 20 years ago, and you’re back in the news. You’ve created a
foundation that works to get more kids playing team sports. Why?
M: I went to university and I studied public health and learned about the seriousness of
the obesity epidemic, particularly among kids and adolescents in poor communities.
[8] I’ve spent the last two decades trying to alleviate the problem. The foundation is
just the latest attempt.
W: The foundation uses private donations to support basketball teams for girls and boys
in primary school, right?
M: Actually, we support teams for secondary school students too, and also have some
public funding.
Question 5. Why did John Williams leave the sport of basketball at just 25?

M: I’ve just bought a new blender.
W: What’s that?
M: A blender, you know, a machine that blends food.
W: Ah, yes. Of course. The electric kitchen appliance.
M: Exactly. This one is state of the art. I’ve been meaning to buy one for a while. And
I did thorough research on which specific model to get. I read through maybe
hundreds of online user reviews. Anyway, it’s amazing!
W: Really? What could be so special about it? I mean it’s just a blender.
M: Well, basically, it’s just a very good one. It feels heavy and sturdy and well-made. It
also has lots of power and can easily cut and crush practically anything. This way, the
soups and juices I make come out really fine and smooth with no lumpy bits.
W: Em, I see. I’ve never thought of getting one myself. It sounds like the kind of thing
that, for me personally, I would rarely use.
M: I’ve never had one before. And now that I do, I use it all the time. I make a fresh fruit
juice in the morning. Maybe not every morning, but 3 or 4 times a week, and it feels
fantastic. It’s a really healthy habit.
W: I can imagine that must feel quite satisfying. I can picture you getting all creative in
the kitchen and trying out a multitude of different ingredients. And it’s obviously
going to be healthier than buying packaged juice from a supermarket.
M: It’s so much healthier. It’s not even close. Did you know that store-bought juice is
033六级听力讲义
like 10% sugar?
W: Right. So then you bought it for the health benefits?
M: Mostly yes. Basically, it allows me to have a more varied diet with a far wider
assortment of nutrients, because it’s not only fruit in my morning juices you see. I
can also throw in vegetables, nuts, yogurt, cereals, anything that tickled my fancy.
Question 1.What does the man say he did before buying the blender?
Question 2.What does the woman say she has never thought of doing?

听力原文：
W: So, I’ve been thinking, this summer, instead of our usual holiday rental, I’d like to try
renting a camper van and exploring a bit more.
M: A camper van? You mean to spend the summer living out of a car?
W: Yes, a camper van. And no, it’s nothing like living out of a car. These are proper vans
with full-size bed to sleep in. Some even have kitchens. This way, we wouldn’t have
to be locked into one place during our holiday. We’d be able to visit so many more
places and travel at our own pace. The rates of most hotels and holiday homes really
soar in the summer anyway. We’d probably save a lot of money as well.
M: I think my grandfather had a van like that. It doesn’t sound that appealing to me.
W: Today’s camper vans are completely different. These days, they’re equipped with all
the modern comforts. I’ve seen quite a few with solar panels that provide electricity
for when you’re stopped. This way you can still use your computer or charge your
phone. And most even have Wi-Fi, so if the weather’s not great, you could stream

M: I’m warming up to the idea. Keep talking.

bike? What about food delivery? Will we be able to order to the van? Will there be
enough space for the dog? We wouldn’t want to leave him behind.
W: Slow down. Glad you’re excited about it. Let’s start by looking at what’s available
first.
