Lesson77 A successful operation
The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C. has just had an operation. The mummy is that of sʃɑpenmʌt who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes. As there were strange marks on the X-ray plates taken of the mummy, doctors have been trying to find out whether the woman died of a rare disease. The only way to do this was to operate. The operation, which lasted for over four hours, proved to be very difficult because of the hard resin which covered the skin. The doctors removed a section of the mummy and sent it to a laboratory. They also found something which the X-ray plates did not show: a small wax figure of the god Dumətɛf. This god which has the head of a cow was normally placed inside a mummy. The doctors have not yet decided how the woman died. They feared that the mummy would fall to pieces when they cut it open, but fortunately this has not happened. The mummy successfully survived the operation.

任务配置:
L0+L1+L3+L4
知识笔记:
朗读(L0):已完成,上传至C群中,时长91秒。
音标(L1): 学习音标[ɪr]
[ɪr]原文中有:feared[fɪrd]
复述表达(L3):已完成,上传至C群中,时长96秒。
复盘总结(L4):已完成。
今日积累:
1.固定搭配:
1)die of,死于……,因……而死(后面跟名词);
2)fall to pieces,散掉,成为碎片(也可以说go to pieces)。
2.单词用法:
1)last表示“持续”、“延续”时为不及物动词,后面通常跟一个表示时间的名词/短语,for可有可无;
2)prove表示“证明”、“证实”,后面可以跟从句、形容词、名词、不定式等;
3)decide在这里不仅可以指“下决心/决定”,还可以指“对……下判决”、“解决(悬案)”等;
4)survive表示“经历(灾难等)之后还活着”;
5)wax与candle;wax指各种“蜡”,为不可数名词;candle指“蜡烛”,为可数名词。
3.语法:
1)在指代特指的事物时,尤其是在比较状语从句中,常用that和those指代前面提到的事物;
2)非限定性关系从句提供补充信息,往往可以略去,逗号的取舍有时对句子的意思有很大影响;在非限定性关系从句中,指人的关系代词只能用who/whom, 不能用that(限定性从句则可以);指物的关系代词只能用which,不能用that;带介词的非限定性关系从句中也不能用that。
练习总结:
1.问题总结:
朗读存在的问题:
figure 没发好,特别注意它有一个/j/的音
normally /ɔr/的没卷舌
rare和feared的r有l的音
Thebes,θ和i的长元音没有读好
2.练习感悟:
1)很多遗忘的东西又慢慢的捡起来了,就感觉很多封存的记忆被开启了一样;
2)还是细节,感觉印象不够深入,还是容易忘记以及混淆,耐心的攻克吧,多练一次印象就能更深一点。
