近年来,中考英语试题,对语音知识的测试越来越热门,其内容主要包括音素、重音和语调三个方面。下面将分别给予介绍:
一、音素:所考查的内容主要包括元音音素和辅音音素(共四十八个),因涉及面较广,不再详述。(后附近几年所考查音素的主要题型。)
二、重音:重音可分为单词重音和句子重音两种。
1.单词重音:英语单词由于音节的数量不一,就出现了读起来有轻有重的现象。一般地,每个单词都有一个音节是重读的,称重读音节;其余的音节不重读,称非重读音节。但有的多音节词,除了一个重读音节之外,还有一个次重读音节。重读音节的符号是:“′”,次重读音节的符号是:“”。单音节必须重读,不标符号。
例:name[neim] letter[′let] information[inf′mei∫n]
那么单词重读有无规则可循?回答是肯定的。单词重读的规则一般是:
①单音节词均重读。例:beg[beg],put[put]
②双音节词一般第一个音节重读。
例:doctor[′dkt] better[′bet] apple[′aepl]但是如有前缀a-,be-,re-,dis-,mis-,de-等双音节词,则第二个音节重读。
例:about[′baut],again[′gen],address[′dres],beside[bi′said],report[ri′p:t],mistake[mis′teik],decide[di′said]
另外,双音节词的合成词,一般第一个音节重读。例:blackboard[′blaekb:d]、homework[′humw:k]但也有两音节均重读的: ′four′teen、′ un ′fair、′hel′lo、′up′stairs、 ′down′stairs、′un′touched、 ′out′side、′Chi′nese、′nine′teen等。
③多音节词一般是倒数第三个音节重读。
例:wonderful[′wndful],immediately[i′mi:djtli],interested[′intristid]
但双音节词加上前缀或后缀构成的多音节词,仍按原来的词根重音来读。
例:con′ductor,′carefully,dis′cover,as′sistant等。
④-ic,-tion,-sion之前的音节要重读。
例:′question,ope′ration,compo′sition,′topic,de ′cision。
为了帮助初三学生更好地记忆、朗读单词,正确地辨音,毕业复习时我把初中全部单词按重音归纳出来。单音节词一般本身就重读。如:bag,desk等。双音节词和多音节词一般重音在第一个音节上。 如:′present′vegetable等。现着重归纳出重音位置较特殊的单词,这样有利于学生复习。实践证明,效果甚好。
(一)重音在第二个音节上的单词:

(二)两个重读音节的词:OK fifteenfourteen
thirteen sixteen
seventeen eighteen
nineteen
afternoon
Chinese
southeast southwest unlike northeast northwest outside untrue upstairs
lordspeaker headmaster headteacher downstairs retell TV
(三)前有一个次重读音节,后又有一个重读音节的单词:
Japanese understand understood operation ourselves population education examination congratulation
2.句子重音:句子重音,即句子中某些单词需要重读。一般地,句中的名词、动词(助动词和be有时例外)、形容词、副词、数词和感叹词需重读;代词(指示代词、疑问代词例外)、介词、冠词和连词不需要重读。
例:′This is a ′book.It's ′red.′Sit′down.
动词be的各种形式均不重读,但在句末出现时,一般要重读。
Is ′that a′book?′Yes,it′is.
另外,be的否定形式一定重读。′No,it′isn't.
单音节介词一般不重读,而双音节介词一般重读。例:It's on the ′table.It's ′beside the ′table.
所有的句子是否都根据此规则去做就可以了呢?不行,还要根据具体的语言环境分析对待。如上句中使用过的词,下句中紧接着再出现而不强调时,一般不重读。下面略举几例:
根据对话的情景,找出划线部分一般重读的单词。
①—Do you speak English?
—No,I don't speak English.
─────────────
A.No,I,speak B.don't,speak,English
C.No,don't D.No,I,speak,English
解:根据一般规律,实词重读、虚词不重读。但从具体情况来看,speak,English均属第二次出现的不再传达新信息的实词,未被强调,不需重读。故排除A、B、D,答案C。
②—What does Xiao Li do?
—He is a teacher like me.
────────────
A.teacher,me B.teacher,like
C.teacher,like,me
D.teacher
解:按一般规则,人称代词不重读。但从具体的语言环境看,表示强调或对比的单词,无论实词、虚词均重读。故答案选A。
③—Tom didn't go to school yesterday,did he?
—No,he went to the hospital to see his mother.
──────────────────────
A.No,went,hospital,see,mother
B.mother,see
C.went,see,mother
D.No,went,see
析:根据一般规则和具体的语言环境来看,应选择答案A。
三、语调:基本语调是降调和升调,其规则是:
陈述句、祈使句、感叹句、特殊疑问句均读降调。
一般疑问句读升调。(语气婉转的祈使句,特殊情况下的陈述句也读升调。)
选择疑问句,前升后降(指or前后)。
反意问句的陈述部分读降调;疑问部分,如表示怀疑或无把握读升调,如有把握读降调。
例:Comein.What's your name?
Is that a jeep? Don't do it that way.
We study Chinese, maths English and other lessons.
光知道这些规则不行,还须根据具体的语言环境灵活运用。现举例说明之:
1.—Do they have a car?
—Pardon? (I beg your pardon?)
—I asked you if they have a car.
A.升、升、降B.升、降、降
C.升、升、升D.升、降、升
解:I beg your pardon.有两种读法:读升调时,表示请对方再说一遍;读降调时表示请对方原谅。从对话的内容和情景看,应读升调,故选A。
2.—Is your mother in?
—No,she went to New York yesterday.
—Where did she go?
A.降、升、降B.降、降、升
C.升、降、升D.升、降、降
解:一般地,特殊问句应读降调,但从具体对话的情形看,答话人已说出问话人所问的具体地点,只是问话的人没听清,想让对方再说一遍,所以此特殊问句应读升调。故选C。
3.—When did you get to know Lao Li?
—The year before last.
—Then you've known each other for about two years,haven't you?
A.升、降、降B.降、降、降
C.升、升、降D.降、降、升
解:反意问句的读法有两种:当提问者无把握时,疑问部分读升调;当提问者确有把握时,疑问部分读降调。从此对话的情景看,回答者已说出是前年认识的,自然提问者可以有把握地推算出答者与老李相识两年了,只是想让对方证实一下,故用降调。所以选B。
