When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as intonation. ( T )9. In terms of the place of articulation, the following sounds [t][d][s][z][n] share the feature of palatal. ( T)10. In such sound combinations as /bi:p/, /geip/ and /su:p/, the voiceless stop /p/, occurring in the final position, is unaspirated, i.e. pronounced with the strong puff of air withheld to some extent. ( F )II. Multiple Choice Items1. Articulatory phonetics mainly studies___ABD__.A. the physical properties of the sounds produced in speechB. the perception of soundsC. the combination of soundsD. the production of sounds2. The distinction between vowels and consonants lies in __B_____A. the place of articulationB. the obstruction of airstreamC. the position of the tongueD. the shape of the lips3. What is the common factor of the three sounds: p, k, t? AA. voicelessB. spreadC. voicedD. nasal4. What phonetic feature distinguishes the /p/ in “please” and the /p/ in “speak”? BA. voicingB. aspirationC. roundnessD. nasality5. Which of the following is not a distinctive feature in English? CA. voicingB. nasalC. approximationD. aspiration6.

In terms of the place of articulation, the following sounds [t][d][s][z][n] share the feature of ___A_.A. palatalB. alveolarC. bilabialD. dentalIII. Term Explanation1. phoneme A phoneme is a phonological unit; it is a unit that is of distinctive value.2. allophone The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments are called the allophone.3. phonology Phonology aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication.4. phonetic Phonetic is a general nature; it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages.5. Supersegmental Features The phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments are called super segmental features.IV. Short-answer Questionspare and contrast phonetics and phonology.Both are concerned with the same aspect of language—the speech sound. But while both are related to the study of sounds, they differ in their approach and focus. Phonetic is a generl nature; it is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages. Phonology aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication.2.What is a phone? How is it different from a phoneme? How are allophones relatedto a phoneme?A phone is a phonetic unit or segment. The speech sounds we hear and produce during linguistic communication are all phone.A phoneme is a phonological unit; it is a unit that is of distinctive value. It is an abstract unit. It is not any particular sounds, but rather it is presented or realized by a certain phone in a certain phonetic context.The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environment are called the allophones of that phoneme.。

基础英语2模拟试题第二套I. Reading Comprehension Passage OneIn every society it is necessary to have a general system of laws toensure justice. Laws are designed to make certain that people's rights are protected and that people respect each other's rights. Sometimes, however,laws are passed which are specific to a time or situation. For example , atown in Indiana once passed a law making it illegal to shoot open a can offood . Apparently, some gun-carrying citizens forgot their can openers and naturally enough, used their guns to do the job. This disturbed other citizens, and endangered their lives, so a law was passed to prevent it.Specific laws sometimes remain in existence long after the problem has disappeared. The laws then seem strange. For example , the Indiana law was no longer necessary when citizens stopped carrying guns and using them as can openers. Since the law was no longer needed, what once made sense now seemslike nonsense.Sometimes laws designed to serve a good purpose were passed but somehow these became mixed up in their wording. As a result, the laws don't make sense. In one state there is a law which says that it is \move or to attempt to movea motor vehicle.\massive traffic jam would occur if everyone suddenly obeyed that law . But no one does, of course, because the intention of the law wasnot to prevent owners from moving their own cars . It was to prevent people from moving (stealing) other people's cars.It is often harder to repeal （废止）a law than to pass one, so many of these old laws remain in existence. Because they no longer fit the way people live or because the problem no longer exists, these laws are ignored. Everyone understands that and life goes on. Thus, laws that once made very good sense, now seem like nonsense.1. According to the passage, laws are designed for the purpose of____________. A. protecting people's rightsB. making people respect each otherC. preventing gun-carryingD. punishing criminals2. The word \ A. working B. shootingC. preventing gun-carryingD. disturbing others3. The author used the Indiana law as an example to explain _________. A how some laws are passed and changed B. how people in Indiana open cans C. why some laws may seem strangeD. why people in Indiana no longer use their guns4. What's the problem with the law concerning motor vehicles? A. Itleads to traffic jams. B. It is not clearly written.C.It is not designed to serve a good purpose.1D. It has been out of date.5. We can conclude from the passage that ___________. A. a law systemis necessary for every societyB. some laws that don't make sense may also get passedC.it is more difficult to change the old law than pass a new oneD. some laws may seem strange as time passesPassage Two“No man is an island,” wrote the poet John Donne several centuries ago. He was acknowledging one of our most distinctive characteristics: the factthat we are social animals whose behavior and personalities are shaped by the groups to which we belong.Throughout life, most of our daily activities are performed in the company of others. Whether our purpose is working, playing, raising a family, learning, or simply relaxing, we usually pursue it in groups, even if the group is as small as two or three people. Our need for human contacts is not merely a practical one; it is a deep psychological need as well. If people are deprived of the company of others for prolonged periods, mental breakdown is the usual result. Even the Geneva Convention(日内瓦公约)，an international agreementthat regulates the treatment of prisoners of war, recognizes this need. Itregards solitary(孤独的) imprisonment for more than thirty day as a cruel formof torture(折磨).In its strictest sense, a group is a collection of people interactingtogether in an orderly way on the basis of shared expectations about oneanother's behavior. As result of this interaction, members feel a common senseof “belonging.” They distinguish members from nonmembers and expect certain kinds of behavior from outsiders.6. By “No man is an island,” John Donne means _____. A.no one can liveon an island aloneB.a man is not surrounded by sea on all sidesC.a man and an island are irrelevantD.no one can live in isolation from other people7. The fact that we work or even play in groups illustrates the point that________ . A.poeple are different from animalsB.Donne recognized the group to which he belongedC.human beings aresocial animalsD.human behavior and personalities are formed by others8. “Breakdown” as used in Line 6, Paragraph 2 most probably denotes ____.A.separationB.collapseC.analysisD.function9. According to the passage, what is NOT a characteristic of group?A.There are at least two people in it.B.The members share some common grounds.C.The members work for one purpose.D.The members interact regularly with each other.210. This passage is mainly about _______. A.the importance of humancontacts B.pattens of human behaviorC.the importance of human activitiesD.patterns of human societyPassage Three1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50million injuries.To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels---though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.Travelling at speed has always been dangerous.One advanced area ofresearch in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants. They can ensure you don’t miss important road signs or fall asleep. Most crashesresult from human and not mechanical faults.Some safety developments aim to improve your vision. Radar can spot obstacles in fog, while other technology “sees through” big vehiclesblocking your view.And improvements to seat belts, pedal(脚踏) controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer. The colour of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape.But whatever is in the fuel tank, you don’t want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations(创新). Satellite tracking and remote communications can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help.Accidents cause many traffic jams, but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road. Such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools. Robotic drivers could be programmedto make traffic flow smoo thly and will perhaps one day be everyone’s personal chauffeur(司机), but their latest efforts suggest that won’t be soon.11. To reduce car crash rate, many scientists are working hard to A. design fully automatic cars. B. develop faster electric vehicles.C. analyze road deaths occurring worldwide each year.D. improve the safety of cars and develop new fuels.12. According to the second paragraph, most road accidents happen due toA. heavy traffic.B. human mistakes.C. engine failure.D. bad weather.13. Which of the following safety developments is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Windscreens that can help drivers to improve their vision. B. Radars that can help drivers to see obstacles in fog.C. Devices that can help drivers to see through big vehicles.D. Improvements in seat belts, pedal controls and tyres.14. Satellite tracking and remote communication systems can be used to3A. reduce oil consumption.B. remove the obstacles on the road.C. call for help when one’s car crashes.D. help drivers get out of a traffic jam.15. Which of the following statements is true of robotic drivers? A. It will take some time before robotic drivers are available. B. Roboticdrivers are not allowed to drive on busy roads. C. Robotic drivers cannever replace human drivers. D. Robotic drivers are too expensive to use.II. Vocabulary & Structure1. What should be done to assure adequate supplies of energy.

Explain the difference between a dialect and a language. 答案：A dialect is a variety of a language that is spoken by a particular group within a larger language community, whilea language is a system of communication that is used by a community of people. Dialects can be mutually intelligible, meaning speakers of different dialects can understand each other, whereas languages are not necessarily mutually intelligible.2. What is the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis and how does it relate to language and thought?答案：The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, also known as linguistic relativity, suggests that the structure of a language affects its speakers' cognition and perception. It posits that different languages structure the world in different ways, leading to different thought processes and perceptions of reality.3. Describe the role of phonetics in linguistics.答案：Phonetics is the study of the physical properties of speech sounds, or phones. It is a branch of linguistics that focuses on the production, transmission, and perception of speech sounds. Phonetics provides the foundation for understanding the sounds of a language and is crucial for the study of phonology, which is the study of the sound system of a language.4. How does sociolinguistics contribute to our understanding of language?答案：Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society. It explores how social factors such as age, gender, social class, ethnicity, and geographical location affect the way language is used. Sociolinguistics helps us understand language variation andchange, and it provides insights into the social meanings and functions of language.。

语言学练习Chapter2 习题Chapter 2：PhonologyI. Decide whether each of the following statements is True or False:1. Voicing is a phonological feature that distinguishes meaning in both Chinese and English. F2. If two phonetically similar sounds occur in the same environments and they distinguish meaning, they are said to be in complementary distribution. T3. A phone is a phonetic unit that distinguishes meaning.4. English is a tone language while Chinese is not.5. In linguistic evolution, speech is prior to writing.6. In everyday communication, speech plays a greater role than writing in terms of the amount of information conveyed.7. Articulatory phonetics tries to describe the physical properties of the stream of sounds which a speaker issues with the help of a machine called spectrograph.8. The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important areas: the throat, the mouth and the chest.9. Vibration of the vocal cords results in a quality of speech sounds called voicing.10. English consonants can be classified in terms of place of articulation and the part of the tongue that is raised the highest.11. According to the manner of articulation, some of the types into which the consonants can be classified are stops, fricatives, bilabial and alveolar.12. Vowel sounds can be differentiated by a number of factors: the position of tongue in the mouth, the openness of the mouth, the shape of the lips, and the length of the vowels.13. According to the shape of the lips, vowels can be classified into close vowels, semi-close vowels, semi-open vowels and open vowels.14. Any sound produced by a human being is a phoneme.15. Phones are the sounds that can distinguish meaning.16. Phonology is concerned with how the sounds can be classified into different categories.17. A basic way to determine the phonemes of a language is to see if substituting one sound for another results in a change of meaning.18. When two different forms are identical in every way except for one soundsegment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two words are said to forma phonemic contrast.19. The rules governing the phonological patterning are language specific.20. Distinctive features of sound segments can be found running over a sequence of two or more phonemic segments.II. Fill in each of the following blanks with one word which begins with the letter given:21．A ____ refers to a strong puff of air stream in the production of speech sounds. 22．A___________ phonetics describes the way our speech organs work to produce the speech sounds and how they differ.23．The four sounds /p/,/b/,/m/ and /w/ have one feature in common, i.e, they are all b_______ sounds.24．Of all the speech organs, the t ____ is the most flexible, and is responsible for varieties of articulation than any other.25．English consonants can be classified in terms of manner of articulation or in terms of p_______ of articulation.26．When the obstruction created by the speech organs is total or complete, the speech sound produced with the obstruction audibly released and the air passing out again is called a s________.27．S_________ features are the phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments. They include stress, tone, intonation, etc.28．The rules that govern the combination of sounds in a particular lan-guage are called s ____ rules.29．The transcription of speech sounds with letter-symbols only is called broad transcription while the transcription with letter-symbols together with the diacritics is called n_________ transcription.30．When pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as i_________.31．P___________ is a discipline which studies the system of sounds of a particular language and how sounds are combined into meaningful units to effect linguistic communication.32．The articulatory apparatus of a human being are contained in three important cavities: the pharyngeal cavity, the o_______ cavity and the nasal cavity.33．T_______ are pitch variations, which are caused by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords and which can distinguish meaning just like phonemes. 34．Depending on the context in which stress is considered, there are two kinds of stress: word stress and s_________ stress.III. There are four choices following each of the statements below. Mark the choice that can best complete the statement:35．Of all the speech organs, the _______ is/ are the most flexible.A. mouthB. lipsC. tongueD. vocal cords36．The sounds produced without the vocal cords vibrating are ____ sounds.A. voicelessB. voicedC. vowelD. consonantal37．__________ is a voiced alveolar stop.A. /z/B. /d/C. /k/D./b/38．The assimilation rule assimilates one sound to another by “copying” a feature of a sequential phoneme, thus making the two phones ____________.A. identicalB. sameC. exactly alikeD. similar39．Since /p/ and /b/ are phonetically similar, occur in the same environments and they can distinguish meaning, they are said to be ___________.A. in phonemic contrastB. in complementary distributionC. the allophonesD. minimal pair40．The sound /f/ is _________________.A. voiced palatal affricateB. voiced alveolar stopC. voiceless velar fricativeD. voiceless labiodental fricative41. A ____ vowel is one that is produced with the front part of the tongue maintaining the highest position.A. backB. centralC. frontD. middle42. Distinctive features can be found running over a sequence of two or more phonemic segments. The phonemic features that occur above the level of the segments are called ____________.A. phonetic componentsB. immediate constituentsC. suprasegmental featuresD. semantic features43. A(n) ___________ is a unit that is of distinctive value. It is an abstract unit, a collection of distinctive phonetic features.A. phoneB. soundC. allophoneD. phoneme44．The different phones which can represent a phoneme in different phonetic environments are called the ____ of that phoneme.A. phonesB. soundsC. phonemesD. allophonesIV. Define the terms below:45. phonology 46. phoneme 47.allophone 48. international phonetic alphabet 49. intonation 50. phonetics 51. auditory phonetics 52. acoustic phonetics53. phone 54. phonemic contrast 55. tone 56. minimal pair V. Answer the following questions as comprehensively as possible. Giveex-amples for illustration if necessary:57. Of the two media of language, why do you think speech is more basic than writing ?58. What are the criteria that a linguist uses in classifying vowels ?59. What are the major differences between phonology and phonetics ?60. Illustrate with examples how suprasegmental features can affect meaning.61. In what way can we determine whether a phone is a phoneme or not ?。
