练习材料:
Some time ago, an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean island of Kea. An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the promontory of Ayia Irini. The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization. Houses, often three storeys high, were built of stone. They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls. The city was even equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.
The temple which the archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the 15th century B. C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room of the temple, clay fragments of 15 statues were found. Each of these represented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted.

这篇文章中有以下几个词:
civilization /ˌsɪvəlɪˈzeɪʃən/
decorated /ˈdɛkəˌreɪtəd/
represented /ˌrɛprəˈzɛntəd/
我一直会弄不清楚这些单词的重音和次重音,也不知从何下手,怎么来处理这个问题。不过,在我还未找到专门讲这个语言点的书之前,把这些挑出来也是我必须做的。

如果真的在之前偷懒没做事,后面来补是很费心力的。
