下面我們來作另外一組練習, 內容是說凱特向亨利說明她開車的時候并沒有 在吃東西或是在打電話等等. 練習的作法是凱特先念一個句子, 接著你會聽 到亨利說出一個動作, 比方 "打電話" making a telephone call 或是 "作白日夢" daydreaming 等等. 請你用亨利說的字或是詞來代換原來句子里第一個動詞.

每作完一句就請你聽正確答案.

F: I wasn't eating while I was driving.

M: drinking

F: I wasn't drinking while I was driving.

M: sleeping

F: I wasn't sleeping while I was driving.

M: making a telephone call

F: I wasn't making a telephone call while I was driving.

M: daydreaming

F: I wasn't daydreaming while I was driving.

M: singing

F: I wasn't singing while I was driving.

M: Henry watched television at home. The police officer gave Kate a ticket.

F: Henry was watching television while the police officer was giving Kate a ticket.

這組練習的內容是說當警察把罰款單給凱特的時候,別人都在作什么. 現在請 你注意聽老師念句子, 并且在學生作句子的時候也一起作.

F: Henry was watching television at home while the police officer was giving Kate a ticket.

五.聽短文回答問題

首先我們來聽一篇文章, 內容是說在美國街道和公路上開車有什么限制,比方 要是有人開車超速, 警察就會寫罰款單給他; 要是有人一連拿了好幾張罰款 單就可能暫時不準開車等等.

現在請你注意聽.

Many regulations govern drivers on American streets and highways. The most common ones are the speed limits. The speed limit regulates how fast a car may go.

On streets in the city, the speed limit is usually 25 or 35 miles per hour. On the highways between cities, the speed limit is usually 55 miles per hour. When people drive faster than the speed limit, a policeman can stop them. The policeman gives them pieces of paper which people call traffic tickets. Traffic tickets tell the drivers how much money they must pay. When drivers receive too many tickets, they probably cannot drive for a while.

The rush hour is when people are going to work or going home from work. At rush hour there are many cars on the streets and traffic moves very slowly. Nearly all American cities have rush hours. Drivers do not get tickets very often for speeding during the rush hours because they cannot drive fast.

剛才那篇文章你聽懂了嗎? 如果沒全部聽懂, 不要緊, 等一會兒我請英文老師 再念一遍給你聽. 現在我們先來聽今天測驗的問題.

第一個問題是:

M: What are the speed limits on American streets and highways?

第二個問題是:

M: What will happen when people drive faster than the speed limit?

第三個問題是:

M: How is the traffic during the rush hour?

現在我請英文老師用慢速度再把整篇文章念一遍.
