【NPR边听边练】致力于提供新鲜有趣、饶有意味的时讯资料,致力于通过精听的方式促进听力提高,致力于不断开阔眼界和深入了解美国观点。

精听建议
先完整地把一条新闻听一到三遍,争取掌握大意。然后,一句一句精听,力争每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方,再听写。

下面的文本材料中空缺部分里面要填的词都很简单,不过是一些值得注意的连读或者典型的美式发音哦,有些语速比较快。试试看,你能不能全部写对?

(参考文本,欢迎指出错误^^)

Hi, so it’s, Warner Brothers, Universal, Sony, Paramount, 20th Fox, MGM are involved in the Movielink site. And then Sony ___1___ along with Lions Gate announced that they’ll sell film online at CinamNow. And both companies said the downloads would cost about 20-30 dollars for newer films. And some of them are gonna be available as you said the same day that you can get them on DVD. Most will be available within ___2___ 45 days of that release date. But what I’ve read so far is, there is a catch in this, there are limits as where you can watch the movies. Yeah! And that ___3___ piracy. I mean the studios worry that if you could play the movie on your DVD. You just keep burning it. They___4___ losing money. So you can only download the movie onto your PC. In some cases you can download it onto a device that also plays games like an Xbox. If you had the right equipments like a Slingbox or MS Home Media Entertainment Technology, you can watch ___5___ on your television. This seems like a major point because people like to watch these movies in their homes on their Home Theatre setups. Not that many people, I think, are wild about watch a movie experience on a laptop say..
