  There are hundreds of mountains in the world. Some are very famous in the world. Qomolangma at 8,848m is the tallest mountain in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest in Africa. Mount Blanc is the highest in Europe. Do you know that the smallest mountain is in Australia?
  The smallest mountain in the world is Mount Wycheproof at 141 feet. However, this mountain stands 486 feet above the sea level. It is in the small town of Wycheproof with a population of 789. There is always a discussion about whether Mount Wycheproof is a mountain or a hill. The mountain has several tracks and some local wild animals such as kangaroos appear there.
  Although Mount Wycheproof is the smallest, it isnt so famous as Qomolangma. Interestingly, more people have reached the top of Qomolangma than Mount Wycheproof, though it is easy and safe to climb Wycheproof.
  Mount Wycheproof was named after the town of Wycheproof. People began to live there as early as 1845. The name Wycheproof means the grass on a hill. It is an important place for the local people. They have running competitions to the hill top every year.
  People always have the Grain Festival, family picnic and dinner on the mountain every year. The government has spent much money on the mountain to make it more enjoyable for visitors. Tourists can enjoy a picnic, walk on the long tracks or sit around the great 7-foot-tall sculpture on the mountain.

我们在交谈时,经常听到一些音似乎被吞掉,并伴有短暂的停顿,这就是失去爆破和不完全爆破。二者是英语语音学的一个重点,也是难点。  一、什么是失去爆破?  当两个爆破辅音相邻时,前一个爆破辅音只做出发音动作,不送气,不发出爆破声,后一个爆破辅音要发出爆破声。因而,前一个爆破辅音被称作失去爆破。  二、什么是不完全爆破?  当爆破辅音和其他辅音相邻时,该爆破辅音只做出发音动作,不送气,不发出爆破声,称作

英语中的停顿和汉语中的停顿类似,如果一段文字让你一口气说完,中间没有停顿,不仅说话人累,听者也会累,这就需要停顿。今天我们就一起来看一下英语中的停顿。  停顿是英语语流中的一个重要的语音现象,对英语节奏有着至关重要的影响。但是,人们在学习英语语音的过程中往往忽视了停顿,没有养成正确的停顿习惯。  意群是意思联系紧密的短语或从句,英语以意群的形式来表达观点和看法。因而,在一个意群后面可停顿一下,用单
