读音规则解读
语音同化是英语口语发音中的一种非常普遍的现象。语流中两个邻近的不同的音，其中一个受到另一个的影响而变得跟它相同或相近，叫同化。大致可分为以下三类：
1.因唇形的影响而发生的同化：
/n/，/d/，/t/在双唇音/m/，/b/，/p/前面被同化，例如：ten pairs；get me；that boy
2.因声带的影响而发生的同化：
(1)浊辅音可变为清辅音。例如：of course
(2)清辅音可变为浊辅音。例如：like that
3.因发音部位的影响而发生的同化：
本音 同化音 举例
/s/＋/ / / / this shop；nice shoes
/z/＋/ / / / those sheep；Has she come？
/t/＋/j/ /t / Can’t you...？；next year
/d/＋/j/ /d / Did you...？；Would you like it？
/s/＋/j/ / / this year；Don’t miss your train.
/z/＋/j/ / / as usual；as you know
以下是一些常见的语音同化规则：
1./t/ changes to /p/ before /m/，/b/，or /p/：best man，put back，test paper
2./d/ changes to /b/ before /m/，/b/，or /p/：good morning，good boy，gold plate
3./n/ changes to /m/ before /m/，/b/，or /p/：on Monday，in Britain，pen pal
4./t/ changes to /k/ before /k/ or /ɡ/：short cut，fat girl
5./d/ changes to /ɡ/ before /k/ or /ɡ/：hard copy，good girl
6./n/ changes to / / before /k/ or /ɡ/：tin can，golden gate
7./s/ changes to / / before / / or /j/：dress shop，nice yacht

作业1
Storytelling is an important way that people pass down knowledge and culture.Stories can be passed along in many ways，including speaking，writing，and movement.
Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了夏威夷的呼啦舞既是一种舞蹈，也是一种讲故事的方式，它通过舞蹈动作传达故事的含义、记录历史和传承文化。
Hula is a type of dance，and it is also a form of storytelling.It has been a part of Hawaiian storytelling traditions for generations.Many years ago，Hawaiians did not have a written language.To pass down knowledge，they shared chants(吟唱) that told stories of important events.They danced hula to these chants.Through hula，Hawaiians recorded Hawaiian history.
There are two main types of hula.Ancient hula，or hula kahiko，is the oldest form of the dance.Hula kahiko often celebrates Hawaiian chiefs.It also tells stories about important Hawaiian figures in history.
Its beat is slow and the movements are graceful.Musicians keep that beat for the dancers with bamboo sticks and drums.A modern form of hula，hula auana，is danced to songs and，often，faster beat.Musicians play the ukulele and guitar in this type of hula.Unlike hula kahiko，hula auana is not performed as a part of a religious ceremony.It’s often more relaxed but it also carries significant cultural and education values.Both types of hula are popular in Hawaii today.Masters train students at hula schools，asking them to draw inspiration from nature.
In hula，each movement has a meaning，much like words in a story.Hula dancers use their hands，feet，and hips to tell these stories.One basic hula step is called the kaholo.To perform this step，dancers lower their knees deeply.They move their hips from side to side to the beat.This move can represent a person going on a journey.Other hula steps express nature or weather.For example，in one step，a dancer lifts their hands up，and then they move their fingers as they bring their hands down.This movement represents rain.Through various movements，hula dancers can communicate meanings and share important stories with their community.
1.Why did Hawaiians create hula
A.To inspire young generations.
B.To record their past.
C.To improve their language.
D.To have fun.
√

C.Educational role. D.Use of nature.

解析
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Hula communicates well.
B.Hula needs more movements.
C.Hula movements are easy.
D.Hula can express any natural phenomenon.

A.How to dance hula.
B.Hawaiian way of storytelling.
C.Where hula began.
D.Modern Hawaiian celebrations.
√
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段中“Hula is a type of dance，and it is also a form of storytelling.It has been a part of Hawaiian storytelling traditions for generations.”可知，短文主要讲夏威夷的呼啦舞既是一种舞蹈，也是一种讲故事的方式。故选B。

There are different festivals and celebrations in different regions globally，which have a wide range of origins，ranging from religions，famous figures to significant joyful events.In spite of the differences，they have a lot in common，creating a specific atmosphere.After all，most ancient festivals were mainly held to celebrate the end of cold weather，planting in spring and agricultural harvest in autumn—gathering crops.The most merry and typical festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and the coming of spring，such as the Spring Festival in China.Before the festival，every household decorates their house with beautiful New Year paintings.On the special occasion—the Chinese New Year’s Eve，Chinese families will watch the Spring Festival Gala which features wonderful performances.It is also typical of Chinese people to set off fireworks to frighten away the horrible evil monster Nian and children are absolutely pleased to get lucky money from their elders they respect in red envelopes representing good luck.Unable to control their inner joy，children，as well as adults，will dress up in fancy costumes.To be frank，with some traditions fading away，festivals are becoming more and more commercial at the moment，with the media and businesses taking advantage of the celebrations.In brief，festivals are ceremonies that reflect people’s wishes，beliefs，faiths and attitudes towards life.We should also be grateful to those who help us and send our congratulations to those around us.
　　在全球不同的地区有不同的节日和庆祝活动，其起源范围广泛，从宗教、著名人物到重大的欢乐事件。尽管存在差异，但它们有很多共同点，创造了一种特定的氛围。毕竟，大多数古代节日主要是为了庆祝寒冷天气的结束、春天的播种和秋天农业的收获——收割庄稼。最欢乐和最典型的节日是那些期待冬天结束和春天到来的节日，比如中国的春节。春节前，家家户户用美丽的年画装饰房子。在这个特殊的时刻——除夕夜，中国家庭将观看以精彩表演为特色的春节联欢晚会。中国人也经常燃放烟花来吓走可怕而又邪恶的年兽，孩子们非常高兴能从他们尊敬的长辈那里得到代表着好运的红包。无法控制自己内心的喜悦，孩子们和成年人一样，都会穿上精致的服装。坦率地说，随着一些传统逐渐消失，节日现在变得越来越商业化，而且大众传播媒体和企业都在利用庆祝活动。简而言之，节日是反映人们的愿望、信仰、信念和生活态度的仪式。我们也应该感谢那些帮助我们的人，并向我们周围的人表示祝贺。

语音同化是英语口语发音中的一种非常普遍的现象。语流中两个邻近的不同的音，其中一个受到另一个的影响而变得跟它相同或相近，叫同化。大致可分为以下三类：
1．因唇形的影响而发生的同化：
/n/，/d/，/t/在双唇音/m/，/b/，/p/前面被同化，例如：ten pairs；get me；that boy
2．因声带的影响而发生的同化：
(1)浊辅音可变为清辅音。例如：of course
(2)清辅音可变为浊辅音。例如：like that
3．因发音部位的影响而发生的同化：
本音 同化音 举例
/s/＋/ / / / this shop；nice shoes
/z/＋/ / / / those sheep；Has she come？
/t/＋/j/ /t / Can’t you...？；next year
/d/＋/j/ /d / Did you...？；Would you like it？
/s/＋/j/ / / this year；Don’t miss your train.
/z/＋/j/ / / as usual；as you know
以下是一些常见的语音同化规则：
1．/t/ changes to /p/ before /m/，/b/，or /p/：best man，put back，test paper
2．/d/ changes to /b/ before /m/，/b/，or /p/：good morning，good boy，gold plate
3．/n/ changes to /m/ before /m/，/b/，or /p/：on Monday，in Britain，pen pal
4．/t/ changes to /k/ before /k/ or /ɡ/：short cut，fat girl
5．/d/ changes to /ɡ/ before /k/ or /ɡ/：hard copy，good girl
6．/n/ changes to / / before /k/ or /ɡ/：tin can，golden gate
7．/s/ changes to / / before / / or /j/：dress shop，nice yacht

Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
Storytelling is an important way that people pass down knowledge and culture.Stories can be passed along in many ways，including speaking，writing，and movement.
Hula is a type of dance，and it is also a form of storytelling.It has been a part of Hawaiian storytelling traditions for generations.Many years ago，Hawaiians did not have a written language.To pass down knowledge，they shared chants(吟唱) that told stories of important events.They danced hula to these chants.Through hula，Hawaiians recorded Hawaiian history.
There are two main types of hula.Ancient hula，or hula kahiko，is the oldest form of the dance.Hula kahiko often celebrates Hawaiian chiefs.It also tells stories about important Hawaiian figures in history.Its beat is slow and the movements are graceful.Musicians keep that beat for the dancers with bamboo sticks and drums.A modern form of hula，hula auana，is danced to songs and，often，faster beat.Musicians play the ukulele and guitar in this type of hula.Unlike hula kahiko，hula auana is not performed as a part of a religious ceremony.It’s often more relaxed but it also carries significant cultural and education values.Both types of hula are popular in Hawaii today.Masters train students at hula schools，asking them to draw inspiration from nature.
In hula，each movement has a meaning，much like words in a story.Hula dancers use their hands，feet，and hips to tell these stories.One basic hula step is called the kaholo.To perform this step，dancers lower their knees deeply.They move their hips from side to side to the beat.This move can represent a person going on a journey.Other hula steps express nature or weather.For example，in one step，a dancer lifts their hands up，and then they move their fingers as they bring their hands down.This movement represents rain.Through various movements，hula dancers can communicate meanings and share important stories with their community.

π(Pi) Day falls on March 14.This is the day when mathematicians and geometry(几何学) lovers around the world get together and celebrate the mathematical constant(常数) of Pi.
1 Firstly，the date which can be represented numerically in the format 3.14 represents the first 3 digits of π.Besides，one of our greatest physicists Albert Einstein was born on March 14,1897.In 2018，the famous physicist Stephen Hawking passed away on Pi Day.
The earliest known celebration of Pi Day was organized by the physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium in 1988，featuring eating different kinds of fruit pies. 2 The museum staff marched around a circular room，sang songs，and ate pie.News stories about the celebration spread the idea to schools，museums，and communities.In 2009，US House of Representatives officially named this special day—“Pi Day”．
Many people celebrate Pi Day with family and friends. 3 People make pizzas(round ones，of course) and bake cream pies.Some people even use a special pie pan shaped like the Greek letter π.They are also willing to drink pi-neapple juice. 4
Over thousands of years，people have tried to unfold the puzzle behind this magic number.Before the appearance of modern computing technologies，mathematicians all over the world have made their efforts on calculating the approximation of Pi. 5 While Indian mathematician Aryabhata approximated Pi to using the circumference of a polygon(多边形) with 384 sides.On 2019’s Pi Day，a popular search engine announced that the calculation of Pi has already reached 31.4 trillion decimal places(小数位)．
A．The most popular way is by eating Pi-themed foods.
B．March 14 seems to be tightly connected with science.
C．It was because “Pi” and “pie” sounded same in English.
D．The world record for memorizing Pi is held by Chao Lu from China.
E．Chinese ancient mathematician Zu Chongzhi extended Pi to 7 decimal places.
F．Another celebration is to recite this amazing number with countless decimal places.
G．Pi can also be used to calculate the volume of something shaped like a ball or a tube.
