答案
Elias Howe Most inventions come from long hours--sometimes years--of work./At other times they came from just a bit of luck. /Take the case of Elias Howe, who invented the sewing machine./He had most of it worked out/but was having trouble with one thing./He couldn’t get the thread fed into the needle/so that the machine could work right./ One night, Howe had a dream in which he was being chased by men with spears./The men held the spears with the point towards the ground./As they ran,/they moved the spears up and down./Howe noticed something strange about the spears. /Each of them had an eyehole, like a needle,/but the hole was at the bottom./It was just above the point of the spear./Howe woke up and hurried to his workshop/where he made a new needle, with the eye near the point./It worked.
解析
上面的听写材料的难点有下列几处:1、第一句的标点符号会造成一些困难。今后如果遇到这种情况就会想到,英语习惯上用双破折号的情况居多,如果听到years和of work.之间有停顿,应判断其间为破折号,因为两者之间不可能用逗号,那么long hours和sometimes years之间也应该是破折号。2、spear不是常用词,或许也很难联想出来。这种情况下,按照读音规则试着拼出来,如果能符合上下文意思,肯定就是正确答案。3、 eyehole和eye,可以由针needle联想出来,注意the在元音开头的单词前的发音。
