准备高口时自己总结的tips，希望对托福听力有所帮助。
How to distinguish Can and Can’t
Can do sth 的重音在do上， Can’t do sth的重音在Can’t 上。Can的a发成e的音。
Thirteen and Thirty
Thirteen的重音在teen，Thirty的重音在第一个音节。当发某一个元音为重音时，这个音发的比较长，比较重。否则，比较轻，短。通常没有发成重音的元音会发成e或i.
音节的重轻音会改变词的词性。当重音在第二个音节时，为动词。若在第一个音节，为名词或形容词。’permit n. per’mit v. ’perfect adj. per’fect v
voiced and voiceless consonants d—t b—p
辅音对元音发音长短的影响 eyes长， ice短
sound linking 连音 以辅音结尾的词碰到元音开始的词时，连

重要!!! 08 H 在he，him，his，her中省略，剩下的元音与前面的词连读 Give her a book.
