Befre the inventin f the light bulb, peple had t use il lamps, gas lamps r candles t see at night. With light bulbs, peple can d as many things in the evenings as they can in the daytime. Can yu imagine living withut them?
1. 用“'”在文中划线单词inventin和candles标记重音。
________；________
2. 分别用“↑”、“↓”在第二句和第三句的句末标记升降调 (语调)。
________；________
3. 用“/”把标下划线的句子划分成三个意群。
____________________________________________________
【答案】1. ①. in'ventin ②. 'candles
2. ①. ↓ ②. ↑
3. peple can d/as many things in the evenings as they can/in the daytime
【解析】
【1题详解】
考查单词重音。根据inventin的音标/ɪnˈvenʃn/可知，单词inventin的重音应标记在第二个音节开头；根据candles的音标/ˈkændlz/可知，单词candles的重音应标记在第一个音节开头。故填in'ventin；'candles。
【2题详解】
考查语调。降调一般用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、感叹句等句子中。第二句为陈述句，所以是降调；第三句是一般疑问句，所以是升调。故填↓；↑。
【3题详解】
考查划分意群。一个语意群可以是一个单词，一个短语，一个词组，一个句子，每一个都必须有自己的意义。一般按下列划分原则：名词词组、动词词组、介词词组、状语词组等；意群的特点是其相对完整性。在交际和阅读中，意群是停顿和换气的标准。一个意群不能读破，否则将产生歧义和误解。根据下划线句子“peple can d as many things in the evenings as they can in the daytime”可知，peple can d“人们可以做”；as many things in the evenings as they can“晚上尽可能多地做一些事情”；in the daytime“白天”。因此根据划您看到的资料都源自我们平台，家威鑫 MXSJ663 低至0.3元/份 分意群的方法及特点划分即可，故填peple can d/as many things in the evenings as they can/in the daytime。

____________________________________________________
【答案】1. ①. in'ventin ②. 'candles
2. ①. ↓ ②. ↑
3. peple can d/as many things in the evenings as they can/in the daytime
【解析】
【1题详解】
考查单词重音。根据inventin的音标/ɪnˈvenʃn/可知，单词inventin的重音应标记在第二个音节开头；根据candles的音标/ˈkændlz/可知，单词candles的重音应标记在第一个音节开头。故填in'ventin；'candles。
【2题详解】
考查语调。降调一般用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、感叹句等句子中。第二句为陈述句，所以是降调；第三句是一般疑问句，所以是升调。故填↓；↑。
【3题详解】
考查划分意群。一个语意群可以是一个单词，一个短语，一个词组，一个句子，每一个都必须有自己的意义。一般按下列划分原则：名词词组、动词词组、介词词组、状语词组等；意群的特点是其相对完整性。在交际和阅读中，意群是停顿和换气的标准。一个意群不能读破，否则将产生歧义和误解。根据下划线句子“peple can d as many things in the evenings as they can in the daytime”可知，peple can d“人们可以做”；as many things in the evenings as they can“晚上尽可能多地做一些事情”；in the daytime“白天”。因此根据划您看到的资料都源自我们平台，家威鑫 MXSJ663 低至0.3元/份 分意群的方法及特点划分即可，故填peple can d/as many things in the evenings as they can/in the daytime。

【40题详解】
