用 who、what、where、why、how 开头的特殊疑问句，正常问的时候用降调，句子结尾要落低，跟一般疑问句的上扬正好相反。想表达生气或吃惊，可以在疑问词后面加 on earth。如果是没听清、忘了答案，请对方再说一遍，语调就反过来往上扬。
怎么看语调标记
↗vid：声音从这个音节开始往上扬（如 Hello, Da↗vid）
↘do：声音从这个音节开始往下降（如 How d'you ↘do）
↘↗go：先降再扬，一个音节里拐个弯
跟读 照着读一遍；轮到你 用自己的话回应，点「参考回答」看怎么说；慢速 放慢了读，听清升降
书里的学习者叫 Jo，别人叫「Jo」就是在跟你说话

特殊疑问句以 who、whose、what、which、when、where、why、how 开头，how long、how old 也算。正常提问时这类句子都是降调：降的位置可能在句末，也可能在前面，但不管在哪儿降，句子结尾一定是低的。不要像一般疑问句那样往上扬。
