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^^）

　　On Sunday in L.A., you're either at the show, at the parties or at home watching. I'm talking about the Academy Awards. This is a company town that virtually shuts down on Oscar night. Actually, the whole weekend will be a blur of Oscar craziness, and here to talk about that is Allison Hope Weiner. She's been covering Hollywood for a long time and writing for publications like Entertainment Weekly and the New York Times. And welcome to the program.

I assume it's ___3___ I gets in New York when the president comes downtown. They've already ___4___ Hollywood. Everybody is scrambling to try to get into parties. Anyone who's gonna get in anywhere is already in. So if their... if they haven't been invited somewhere, it's probably best to pretend like you'll leave and tend business, or, you know, turn all your lights up, sort of like people'll come trick-or-treat in your aid of candy. That kind of situation. So it's pretty crazy." And also, you have to be invited to the right parties. "Yes. There're some parties that are just the in parties. And a lot of people know that would be ___5___, which is actually cutting. It's gasless to shear. And it's greatly... completely pandemonium."
