【NPR边听边练】致力于提供新鲜有趣、饶有意味的时讯资料,致力于通过精听的方式促进听力提高,致力于不断开阔眼界和深入了解美国观点。

精听建议
先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍,争取掌握大意。然后,一句一句精听,力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方,再听写。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单,不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦,有些语速比较快。试试看,你能不能全部写对?

(参考文本,欢迎指出错误^^)

New Orleans had always been the perfect backdrop, the home of costumes, graveyards and voodoo. NPR's Loop Banberk ___(2)___ this yearThere was no real point this year in ___(3)___ fake spider webs or cupboard cutouts of witches. Because even two months after Katrina, New Orleans is an eerie, eerie place all on its own. Piles of muddy debris are everywhere. ___(4)___ lie in the streets like above ground tombs and the wind whistles to the broken panes of glass. And yet every ___(5)___ you head a street like Pipe Drive, which actually seems pretty normal and comes complete with trick-or-treaters.
