Teams shall consist of two or three members, one of whom will be designated captain and responsible for delivering the final spelling of the word.2. The judge is in complete control of the spelling bee. His or her decision shall be final on all questions.3. The Bee Master will pronounce the spelling word, read its definition, use it in a sentence (this is optional), and pronounce the word again. Once the Bee Master has completed the above, the team has forty-five seconds to talk and start to spell the word out loud.4. Team members may confer as to the spelling of the word and may use pencil and paper to work it out, but the final spelling must be given by the team captain, unless he or she designates another teammate to answer.5. Having started to spell a word, a team shall be given no opportunity to change a letter once it is pronounced out loud. Retracing is permitted, but the same letters once pronounced must be used in the same order.6. No team shall be disqualified for failing to indicate a capital letter or pronunciation marks, such as hyphens or apostrophes.7. Any team that fails to spell a word correctly must drop out of the contest and another word shall be given to the next team in line.8. Any question relating to the spelling of a word must be referred to the judge immediately in writing. A team must make a protest before they receive their next word. When two teams remain, all protests must be made orally before the other team has started to spell the word given to them.9. The procedure changes when the teams are reduced to two. As soon as one team misspells a word, the other team shall immediately be given an opportunity to spell it. If that team spells the word correctly, they shall be given another word. If that word is spelled correctly, they shall be declared the champions.10. If one of the last two teams errs and the other team, after correcting the error, misspells the next word given to them, then the misspelled word shall be given to the first team for correction. If the first team corrects the error and spells the next word on the Bee Masters list correctly, they shall be declared the champion.11. If both teams misspell the same word, both shall continue in the contest, and the team who misspelled the word first shall be given a new word.12. All words are taken from lists compiled by American Heritage editors and can be found in The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, which is the official spell-check dictionary for the bee.100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses and Misusesby the Editors of the American Heritage® DictionariesThe editors of the American Heritage?Dictionaries have selected one hundred of the most commonly confused and misused words in the English language as the basis for the third title in the popular 100 Words series.

下面结合各位大师的经验谈谈“利用VOA提高雅思听力”的三个步骤：第一步、精听VOA慢速听力资料(最好不要看原文)刚开始的时候绝对不要看原文，尤其对那些本来就很清晰的听力资料。

这主要是希望大家不要依赖原文，自己一定要一个单词一个单词的完全听懂。

有的同学说我就有那么几个单词实在听不懂怎么办？大家想一想，慢速英语的单词量是1500－2000，也就是说一个比较好的高中生的单词量已经超过了许多，更何况四六级都已通过的你。

听不懂的唯一原因绝对不是生词的问题，只能是你对这个单词的发音极其陌生，大脑根本没有反映。

如果让你看一看原文，你会不屑一顾的，但在听的时候却不知所云。

为此给大家提供“VOA1500个基本词汇mp3及文本”，并提供了例句，见下面！起初我练习的时候有时为了一个单词可以想上整整一天，嘴里老是念道着这个单词的发音。

当然如果有些同学说这段录音我已经听了十遍了，当中的几个单词你就是打死我我也听不出来。

如果真的到了这个地步，你可以看看原文。

接下来要做的就是要保证这一段录音你是完完全全的听懂了。

其实我国学生在口语和听力上缺陷主要有两个原因：一是缺乏练习。

二是缺乏勇气，老是害怕自己会说错，害怕丢脸。

当你这样一句一句直到把每一句话完全“吃掉“，已经基本上可以保证你已听懂了这段文章。

要达到什么样的标准呢？我对自己的要求是在落后一两个单词的同步复述。

如果说上面这一点是练习了语音的话，下面的两个重要工作才是我们利用听力材料练习口语和口译的重要。

第二步、VOA资料同步复述现在大家已经把这段录音的意思完全搞懂了，而且能够惟妙惟肖的基本同步复述了。

请大家注意，直到现在你的大脑还没有动起来，也就是说这些完全是些机械的模仿，刻板的复述。

这种机械的重复对于我们的口语和开口能力是不会有“事半功倍“的效果的。

With 100 Words Kids Need to Read, we are pleased to offer a tool to help you provide that practice in an engaging, effective format. We created the three books in this series —for first, second, and third graders —with the guidance of literacy experts and classroom teachers. Broken down into manageable groups, words are introduced in context and reinforced through inviting puzzles and games. Each sequence of activities is carefully designed to touch on reading, writing, and usage —taking children beyond mere visual recognition of sight words to genuine mastery.The journey through these skill-building pages will help young readers make the successful transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Along the way, they will also receive excellent preparation for standardized tests.
