听力练习

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，欢迎指正^^）

Pubs are an important part of life in Britain. People go to the pub to relax, meet friends and sometimes to 1 .

Pubs are not open to everyone, and they are not open all the time. People under the age of 2 cannot go into pubs. They are only open from about 11 am ("opening time") until 2:30 pm, and 5:30 pm until 10:30 or 11 pm ('closing time').

You can buy most kinds of drink in a pub: beer, lager, all kinds of wine, spirits, liqueurs, fruit juice and 3 .

Some people just say the name of the maker:' A half of Double Diamond, please.' or 'Two halves of Export, please.'
Most pubs do not sell hot drinks, like coffee or tea, but many sell hot and cold food. Pub food (called 'pub grub') is often good, is cheaper than most restaurant food, and you don't have to 5 , but you do have to go to the bar to get your food and drink. There are no waiters in pubs traditionally, although now more pubs are starting to open small dining rooms which families can use too.

酒吧

英国人生活中很重要的一部分是泡吧。人们到酒吧放松，和朋友聚会，有时是谈生意。

酒吧并不是对所有人都开放，而且也不是全天营业。不满十四岁的人不能到酒吧。酒吧营业时间大约为上午十一点（开始营业）到下午两点半和下午五点半到晚上十点半或十一点（结束营业）。酒吧关门时，酒保就会吆喝：“时间到了！”或“先生，时间到了！”，虽然新法律规定，有特别许可的酒吧可以想开到几点就开到几点。

在酒吧你能买到绝大多数的饮料：啤酒、贮藏啤酒.、各种红酒、烈酒、利口酒、果汁和软饮料。啤酒是最受欢迎的饮品，且有很多品种，以“品脱”（略多于半升）或“半品脱”为计量单位购买。买啤酒时，人们会点“苦啤酒”（味道浓的啤酒）、“麦芽啤酒”（味道稍淡）或贮藏啤酒。

有些人只说生产商的名字：“请来半瓶Double Diamond”或“请来两个半瓶Export”。

酒吧大多不售热饮，如咖啡或茶，但很多也卖热餐，冷餐。酒吧的食物（称为“酒吧小食”）味道通常不错，价格比大多数餐馆便宜，而且你不用付小费，但你必须到吧台取你的食物和饮料。酒吧传统上没有侍应生，但是现在越来越多的酒吧开始提供也适于家庭使用的小餐厅。
