E.G.: ... because it had water, raw materials and fuels such as ______ and ______.

Audio Scripts: The water and the availability of raw materials ... and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, ... (4-1-2)

此題可以通過fuels來定位，同時like和such as做同義詞互換，也就是正確答案就是后面的并列關(guān)系的名詞，但是此題的難點就是coal and firewood被讀作/k?ul?n fаi?wud/，這樣就導(dǎo)致無法聽出正確答案了。

速記難點

當(dāng)and連接的2個詞語都要寫出來的時候，不僅語音上面有難度，在速記上的要求也提高了。

E.G.: Site One: Problems with _______ and _______.

Audio Scripts: Site One was unpopular because of traffic and parking problems. (4-3-4)

New technology allowed the production of goods made of ______ and ______.

Audio Scripts: The technology they introduced meant that metal and leather goods were produced there for the first time. (6-1-4)

這兩個例子都能看出來通過and定位很容易能找到答案，但是需要寫的兩個詞語出現(xiàn)比較快，而且由于and的弱化，以及句子中的倒置，更加增加了填寫的難度。

PART 3 — 注意事項

雖然and本身讀音為/?nd/，在句子中弱化的讀音卻是/?n/不會由于爆破而讀成/?n/，因此我們在聽力過程中不要聽錯。

E.G. Video Presentation: Go to _______

Audio Script: ... Now, after the break we'll be moving a different location for a video presentation ... and there you will be shown a video ... called Safety at Work.

此題的答案是Safety at Work這個地方讀作/seifti ? w?:k/。這邊的答案一定要注意不是safety and work/seifti ?n w?:k/，雖然兩個讀音極像。

總的來說，我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，大部分在試卷上出現(xiàn)的and都會在文字答案中讀出，尤其是需要填寫的是兩個答案是由and連接的時候，但是由于and本身的原因，在聽力中較難聽到，因此建議考生們在練習(xí)中需重點注意and的弱讀，以及當(dāng)and和別的詞匯連讀時產(chǎn)生的問題。
