PTE大西瓜，疫情期

Study from Home助考計(jì)劃 Day 5

眾所周知，PTE考試中，得口語者得天下！

說到口語，各位考生更是有一種旱的旱死，澇的澇死感覺?。?/p>

其實(shí)啊，很多同學(xué)都是小的時(shí)候沒有系統(tǒng)學(xué)過音標(biāo)，導(dǎo)致了發(fā)音的一些小問題層出不窮！

那么正好這個(gè)無法考試的時(shí)期，大家要好好來惡補(bǔ)一下一些發(fā)音規(guī)則了哦！今天就讓大西瓜Lei Lei老師為你帶來大西瓜Study from Home之惡補(bǔ)發(fā)音（上），帶你分清/s/和/z/！

怎么樣？如此“高速的列車”，是不是能讓你在家學(xué)得更高效呢！

話不多說！直接開始吧！

要想分清/s/和/z/的區(qū)別，首先我們需要明確的概念就是音標(biāo)里面，分清輔音和濁輔音。

二者的區(qū)別在于，我們在發(fā)清音的時(shí)候，聲帶是不振動(dòng)的！而發(fā)濁音的時(shí)候，聲帶是需要振動(dòng)的（因此后面我們把元音也歸在了濁音類里面）。這些內(nèi)容呢在大西瓜的技巧課里有更完整和詳盡的講解??！

那么，在單詞末尾加s/es/ies和的時(shí)候如何發(fā)音的規(guī)則需要遵循“遇清則清、遇濁則濁”的準(zhǔn)則。

從字面不難看出，這些后綴，在遇到單詞末尾是清輔音的時(shí)候，發(fā)相對應(yīng)的清音/s/；在遇到單詞末尾是濁輔音和元音發(fā)音的時(shí)候，發(fā)相對應(yīng)的濁輔音/z/。

接下來我們先來梳理一下幾種發(fā)音情況：

1． 發(fā)濁音/z/——適用于所有的濁輔音和元音發(fā)音結(jié)尾的單詞，例如bags, leaves, words

2． 發(fā)清音/s/——適用于原單詞末尾發(fā)音是表格上面一排（清輔音）里面的（遇到以/t/結(jié)尾的組成/ts/）沒有標(biāo)黃的音，例如cakes, caps, cats。標(biāo)黃的音看下一條

3． 發(fā)/iz/——以/s/, /z/, /?/, /?/, /t?/和/d?/這6個(gè)摩擦音結(jié)尾的單詞，因?yàn)榧恿?s/不方便發(fā)音，所以就中間加了一個(gè)/i/來緩和一下，/i/是元音，所以后面是/z/，例如buses, wishes, bridges。

那么，下面我們來看高頻預(yù)測里面的幾個(gè)RA例子，看看同學(xué)們是不是都能讀對文段里的單詞的尾音呢？

010221 Heterogeneous Student Populations

To work effectively with the heterogeneous student populations/z/ found in our schools/z/, educators/z/ have the responsibility of acknowledging the cultural backgrounds/ds/of their students/ts/ and the cultural setting in which the school is located in order to develop effective instructional strategies/iz/.

010047 Botanic Gardens

Botanic gardens/z/ are scientific and cultural institutions/z/established to collect, study, exchange and display plants/ts/ for research and for the education and enjoyment of the public. There are major botanic gardens/z/ in each capital city Zoological parks/s/ and aquariums/z/ are primarily engaged in the breeding, preservation, study and display of native and exotic fauna in captivity, and are accessible to the public.

010196 Company Imprint

Companies/z/ will want to be known not just for the financial results/ts/ they generate, but equally for the imprint they leave on society as a whole. First, ensuring that their products/ts/ contribute positively and responsibly to sustaining human civilization. Second, operating in a way that approaches/iz/ a "net-neutral" impact to the natural environment. And third, cherishing their people.

希望以上內(nèi)容，能幫助同學(xué)們在下次遇到這些情況的時(shí)候都能很有把握地讀對！在這段因?yàn)橐咔槎鴽]有考試機(jī)會(huì)的時(shí)間里，希望大家不要松懈，此時(shí)不正是彎道超車的好時(shí)機(jī)嗎？

正常的生活總有恢復(fù)的一天，好好利用了這段時(shí)間，靜下心來攻克了自己的弱項(xiàng)，等考試恢復(fù)之后一舉拿下豈不美滋滋？
