任务配置：L0+L1

 知识笔记：

    The body of one statue was found among remains dating from the 15th century B.C.

/ðə/ /ˈbɒdi/ /ɒv/ /wʌn/ /ˈstætjuː/ /wɒz/ /faʊnd/ /əˈmʌŋ/ /rɪˈmeɪnz/ /ˈdeɪtɪŋ/ /frɒm/ /ðə/ /ˈfˈɪftiːnθ/ /ˈsɛnʧʊri/ /biː/.

    Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C.

/siː/. /ɪts/ /ˈmɪsɪŋ/ /hɛd/ /ˈhæpənd/ /tuː/ /biː/ /əˈmʌŋ/ /rɪˈmeɪnz/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /fɪfθ/ /ˈsɛnʧʊri/ /biː/. /siː/.

    This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved.

/ðɪs/ /hɛd/ /mʌst/ /hæv/ /biːn/ /faʊnd/ /ɪn/ /ˈklæsɪkəl/ /taɪmz/ /ænd/ /ˈkeəfli/ /prɪˈzɜːvd/.

    It was very old and precious even then.

/ɪt/ /wɒz/ /ˈvɛri/ /əʊld/ /ænd/ /ˈprɛʃəs/ /ˈiːvən/ /ðɛn/.

    When the archaeologists reconstructed the fragments, they were amazed to find that the goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman.

/wɛn/ /ði/ /ˌɑːkɪˈɒləʤɪsts/ /ˌriːkənsˈtrʌktɪd/ /ðə/ /ˈfrægmənts/, /ðeɪ/ /wɜːr/ /əˈmeɪzd/ /tuː/ /faɪnd/ /ðæt/ /ðə/ /ˈgɒdɪs/ /tɜːnd/ /aʊt/ /tuː/ /biː/ /ə/ /ˈvɛri/ /ˈmɒdən/-/ˈlʊkɪŋ/ /ˈwʊmən/.

    She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hips.

/ʃiː/ /stʊd/ /θriː/ /fiːt/ /haɪ/ /ænd/ /hɜː/ /hændz/ /ˈrɛstɪd/ /ɒn/ /hɜː/ /hɪps/.

    She was wearing a full-length skirt which swept the ground.

/ʃiː/ /wɒz/ /ˈweərɪŋ/ /ə/ /ˈfʊlˈlɛŋθ/ /skɜːt/ /wɪʧ/ /swɛpt/ /ðə/ /graʊnd/.

    Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed,

/dɪsˈpaɪt/ /hɜː/ /greɪt/ /eɪʤ/, /ʃiː/ /wɒz/ /ˈvɛri/ /ˈgreɪsfʊl/ /ɪnˈdiːd/,

    but, so far, the archaeologists have been unable to discover her identity.

练习感悟：

1.通过发音，感受到清辅音与浊辅音之间的差别。发清辅音时，气息较强，声带不振动；发浊辅音时，气息较弱，声带振动。

2.刚练口语时，读得慢，速度提不上来，嘴不灵活；现在读英语时的语速可以加快，嘴皮子变得灵敏了。这应该是锻炼的结果。

3.买了教材，方便识记文章的词组、语法。
