34、。2 【正确答案】 voiced【试题解析】 b 是双唇音，爆破音，浊音。3 【正确答案】 place【试题解析】 辅音根据发音方式和发音部位进行分类。4 【正确答案】 Consonants【试题解析】 发音时，声道的某些部位受到压缩或阻碍后，使得气流在口腔里转向、受阻或完全被阻塞而产生的音叫做辅音。5 【正确答案】 cardinal vowels【试题解析】 基本元音是指一系列约定俗成、固定不变的元音特质，目的是为语言中实际存在的元音描述提供一个参照框架。6 【正确答案】 manner7 【正确答案】 velar【试题解析】 k 是清音，软腭音，爆破音。8 【正确答案】 Narrow【试题解

35、析】 当我们用复杂的符号精确地标记语音所有可能的细小变化时，我们称之为“严式转写”。9 【正确答案】 Assimilation【试题解析】 同化指一个音具有了邻近音的一部分或者全部特征的这一过程，包括鼻化、齿化、鄂化。10 【正确答案】 force【试题解析】 重音指在音节发音时所用的力度。11 【正确答案】 CVC ， CV，V【试题解析】 普通话的音节中节首位置最多有一个辅音，结尾只能是鼻音n， ，所以汉语的音节可以写为(C)V(C) 。12 【正确答案】 Allophones【试题解析】 同一个音位在不同语音环境中的实现方式被称为该音位的音位变体。因为变体是互补分布的，而且发音相似。13

36、 【正确答案】 phonemes；minimal【试题解析】 k 、 g在 cut 和 gut 是两个不同的音位，这两个词，除了出现在同一位置上的一个音外，其余的音都一样，因此这两个词就构成了一个最小的对立体。14 【正确答案】 allophones【试题解析】 语音相似性指的是承担一些语音的相似的音位变体。15 【正确答案】 Diphthongs【试题解析】 如果在发音时通过舌头的一次运动，由第一个单元音滑向第二个单元音，这样产生的音的组合就叫做双元音。16 【正确答案】 The maximal onset principle【试题解析】 当一个辅音既可放在节首也可放在节尾时，根据最大节首原

37、则应将其放在节首。17 【正确答案】 Minimal pairs【试题解析】 如果有两个词，它们除了出现在同一位置上的一个音外，其余的音都一样，那么这两个词就构成了一个最小的对立体，所以 fail 一 veil 是最小对立体。二、判断题18 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 字形是根据音位的表达写出来的。19 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 同一个音位在不同语音环境中的实现方式被称为该音位的音位变体。同一个音位在不同的语言中有不同的实现方式，所以在另一语言中是音位变体。20 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 音位变体要满足两个条件：互补分布和语音相似性。21 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 当我们用一套简

38、单的符号记音，试图把一个词与其他的词区别开时，我们称之为宽式转写，宽式转写不包括一些细小变化。22 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 “peak” 和 “speak”中的发音不同的“p” 是同一个音位的音位变体，而不是自由对立体。23 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 语音相似性指一个音位的音位变体必须具有语音相似点。24 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 如果两个音素出现在一个相同的语音环境中，且不区别意义，这两个音素可被看作自由变体。25 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 我们所听见和说出的声音并不总是音位，有可能是音素，只有那些有区别意义的才是音位。26 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 音节中必不可少的就

39、是结核，即元音。节首和节尾可有可无。27 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 所有音节必须有结核，但不是所有的音节都有节首和节尾。28 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 英语的节首最多包括三个辅音，节尾最多包括四个辅音，而且必须有一个元音。29 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 这种情况下这两个音素就可被视为自由变体。30 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 应该是两个音或两个音位同化。31 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 气流从肺部产生，而后穿过声道经过一些变化比如转向，受阻等发出不同的音。32 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 自由变体是指两个音素出现在一个相同的语音环境中，并不区别意义，即用一个音素替换另一个音素

40、不产生新词，只产生同一个词的不同读音。33 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 p是双唇爆破音，没有摩擦。34 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 p 在 s之后是不送气的。三、单项选择题35 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 在三大发音器官中，气流在口腔中受挤或转向从而产生不同的声音。36 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 k 是清音，软腭音，爆破音；t是齿龈音，爆破音，清音；g是浊音，软腭音，爆破音，p是双唇音，爆破音，轻音。37 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 s是清音，摩擦音，齿龈音。38 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 a是低元音，后元音，紧音。39 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 音素是语音学研究的一个基本

41、单位，是人类的发音器官所能发出的最小语音片段，音位是一组语音特征的抽象集合体，并不是所有的因素都是音位。音位变体必须互补分布，且不会改变词义。40 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 根据最小对立体的定义，只有 A 不符合，因为 A 中的音不是在同一个位置上。41 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 音位是音系学研究的一个基本单位，是一组语音特征的抽象集合体，具有区别意义的作用。42 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 s是齿龈音，而 是齿音，所以二者不能构成最小对立体。43 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 s在 restart 中位于清辅音前，所以被轻音化。44 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 超音段特征包括音节

42、，重音，声调和语调。45 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 bilabial 是根据发音部位划分的。46 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 送气的p和不送气的p 是同一个音位 p在不同语音环境中的实现方式，所以被称为该音位的音位变体。47 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 发音语言学研究语音的发生。48 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 选项 A、B、C 都是摩擦音，w是近音。49 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 m，b， p都是双唇音，n 是齿龈音。50 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 声带振动产生浊音。51 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 英音和美音最大的区别就是发音和词汇，比如发音方面，美音有儿化音。52 【

43、正确答案】 B【试题解析】 v是唇齿音，擦音，浊辅音。四、简答题53 【正确答案】 /t/ appears after these sounds; / , p, k, s, /, /id/ is found after/t, d/, and /d/, and /d/ occurs after /g, 1, b, v, , n, au, m, , ei/. The general factor to determine whether /t/, /d/, or /id/ is used is the distinctive feature of voicing. Therefore, /t/ o

44、ccurs after a voiceless sound, except /t/; /d/ occurs after a voiced sound, except /d/; and /id/ occurs after either the consonant /t/ or /d/.54 【正确答案】 Usually, the description of the vowels needs to fulfill four basic requirements: (1) The height of tongue raising (high, mid, low);(2) The position

45、of the highest part of the tongue (front, central, back);(3) The length or tenseness of the vowel (tense vs. lax or long vs. short), and(4) lip-rounding (rounded vs. unrounded).55 【正确答案】 Language is system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication. Language is primarily vocal, because

46、sound or speech is the primary medium for all human languages, developed or “new“. Writing systems came much later than the spoken forms. The fact that small children learn and can only learn to speak (and listen) before they write (and read) also indicates that language is primarily vocal, rather t

47、han written. The term “human“ in the definition is meant to specify that language is human specific.56 【正确答案】 As the vowels can not be described in the same way as the consonants, a system of cardinal vowels has been suggested to get out of this problem. The cardinal vowels are a set of vowel qualit

48、ies arbitrarily defined, fixed and unchanging, intended to provide a frame of reference for the description of the actual vowels of existing languages. The cardinal vowels are abstract concept. The cardinal vowel diagram is a set of hypothetical positions for vowels used as reference points.The desc

49、ription of English vowels needs to fulfill four basic requirements: (1) the height of tongue raising (high, middle or low) ; (2) the position of the highest part of the tongue (front, central , back) ; (3) the length or tenseness of the vowel(tense vs. lax or long vs. short) ; (4) lip-rounding (rounded vs. unrounded). For example, i: : high, front, tense, unrounded vowel. u
