练习材料：L1-(2):A Puma at large 时长：1’19
Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits.
weərˈɛvər ɪt wɛnt, ɪt lɛft bɪˈhaɪnd ɪt ə treɪl ɒv dɛd dɪər ænd smɔːl ˈænɪməlz laɪk ˈræbɪts.
Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes.

Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree.

The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ?
ði ˈɛkspɜːts wɜː naʊ ˈfʊli kənˈvɪnst ðæt ði ˈænɪməl wɒz ə ˈpjuːmə, bʌt weə hæd ɪt kʌm frɒm ?
As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape.
æz nəʊ ˈpjuːməz hæd biːn rɪˈpɔːtɪd ˈmɪsɪŋ frɒm ˈɛni zuː ɪn ðə ˈkʌntri, ðɪs wʌn mʌst hæv biːn ɪn ðə pəˈzɛʃən ɒv ə ˈpraɪvɪt kəˈlɛktər ænd ˈsʌmhaʊ ˈmænɪʤd tuː ɪsˈkeɪp.
The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught.
ðə hʌnt wɛnt ɒn fɔː ˈsɛvrəl wiːks, bʌt ðə ˈpjuːmə wɒz nɒt kɔːt.
It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside

练习感悟： 在上英语课的时候 老师读的employed和我读的不一样，查了音标是 /ɪmˈplɔɪd/ 但是为什么点了发音第一个/ɪ/发的像是/æ/ ，很奇怪~相信字典吧 ！
