（二）两个重读音节的词：OK fifteen fourteen thirteen sixteen seventeen eight een nineteen afternoon Chinese southeast southwest unlike northeast northwest outside untrue upstairs lordspeaker headmaster headteacher downstairs retell TV
（三）前有一个次重读音节，后又有一个重读音节的单词：
Japanese understand understood operation ourselvespopulation education examination congrat ulation
2.句子重音：句子重音，即句子中某些单词需要重读。一般地，句中的名词、 动词（助动词和be有时例外 ）、形容词、副词、数词和感叹词需重读；代词（指 示代词、疑问代词例外）、介词、冠词和连词不需要重读 。
例：′This is a ′book. It's ′red. ′Sit′down. 动词be的各种形式均不重读，但在句末出现时，一般要重读。
Is ′that a′book?′Yes,it′is.
另外，be的否定形式一定重读。′No,it′isn't. 单音节介词一般不重读，而双音节介词一般重读。例：It's on the ′table. It's ′beside the ′tab le.
所有的句子是否都根据此规则去做就可以了呢？不行，还要根据具体的语言 环境分析对待。如上句中使用 过的词，下句中紧接着再出现而不强调时，一般 不重读。下面略举几例：
根据对话的情景，找出划线部分一般重读的单词。
①—Do you speak English? —No, I don't speak English.
A.No, I, speak B.don't, speak, English C.No, don't D.No, I, speak, English
解：根据一般规律，实词重读、虚词不重读。但从具体情况来看，speak， English均属第二次出现的不再 传达新信息的实词，未被强调，不需重读。故 排除A、B、D，答案C。
②—What does Xiao Li do? —He is a teacher like me.
A.teacher, me B.teacher, like C.teacher, like, me D.teacher
解：按一般规则，人称代词不重读。但从具体的语言环境看，表示强调或对 比的单词，无论实词、虚词均 重读。故答案选A。
③—Tom didn't go to school yesterday, did he? —No, he went to the hospital to see his mother.
A.No, went, hospital, see, mother B.mother, see C.went, see, mother D. No, went, see
析：根据一般规则和具体的语言环境来看，应选择答案A。
三、语调：基本语调是降调和升调，其规则是：
陈述句、祈使句、感叹句、特殊疑问句均读降调。
一般疑问句读升调。（语气婉转的祈使句，特殊情况下的陈述句也读升调。） 选择疑问句，前升后降（指or前后）。
反意问句的陈述部分读降调；疑问部分，如表示怀疑或无把握读升调，如有 把握读降调。
例：Come＠④in. What's your＠④ name? Is that a ＠⑤ jeep? Don't do it ＠⑤ that way. We study ＠⑤ Chinese,＠⑤ maths ＠⑤ English and other ＠④lessons. 光知道这些规则不行，还须根据具体的语言环境灵活运用。现举例说明之：
1.—Do they have a car?
—Pardon? (I beg your pardon?)
—I asked you if they have a car.
A.升、升、降 B.升、降、降
C.升、升、升 D.升、降、升
解：I beg your pardon.有两种读法：读升调时，表示请对方再说一遍；读 降调时表示请对方原谅。从对 话的内容和情景看，应读升调，故选A。
2.—Is your mother in?
—No, she went to New York yesterday.
—Where did she go?
A.降、升、降 B.降、降、升
C.升、降、升 D.升、降、降
解：一般地，特殊问句应读降调，但从具体对话的情形看，答话人已说出问 话人所问的具体地点，只是问 话的人没听清，想让对方再说一遍，所以此特殊 问句应读升调。故选C。
