Section C Compound Dictation
答案解析：
36. lie
解析：就整個句子來說，這是一個諺語，意為“自作自受，自食其果”，前半句make your bed“鋪床”，后半句lie in it中的it即bed，所以所填單詞為lie“躺下”。
37. associated
解析：associate與介詞with搭配“與……相聯系/關聯”，這里要特別注意其語法形式，分詞短語作狀語，所以要在詞尾加d。另外，注意不要少寫s。
38. assign
解析：應該說本題還是有些難度的：這個詞本身并不難，但是在這里它的意思并不是它的本意，而是構成了assign importance to這個結構，所以有的考生即使聽到了也不敢確認。另外，注意不要少寫s或g。
39. spent
解析：這個詞要注意語法形式，應該填寫其過去分詞形式，考生即使在沒有聽清詞尾的情況下，也應該核對一下前后的語法搭配，因為后面是名詞短語，所以這里只能填其過去分詞，用作修飾語。
40. difficulty
解析：此題相對比較容易。應該使用名詞difficulty構成固定詞組have difficulty doing sth。
41. dislike
解析：根據前一個定語從句的形式，此動詞應該用原形，后接動名詞，dislike doing sth.“不喜歡做某事”。
42. afford
解析：此題也比較容易，填寫原形動詞，因為前面有情態動詞。但是要注意雙寫f。
43. infant
解析：此詞不常用，要注意拼寫，尤其是元音字母。
44. 標準答案：she is entitled to a place of her own where she can be by herself, and keep her possessions
聽音關鍵：own place, by herself, keep possessions
答案重構：she can have her own place. There she can live/stay by herself, and keep her own things
畫龍點睛：不少考生將be entitled to這個短語錯寫成了 in title等或漏寫d，把by (herself)寫成了buy...，possessions寫成了postitions.
45. 標準答案：people will have their private thoughts that might never be shared with anyone
聽音關鍵：private thoughts, never shared
答案重構：people will have their own/personal thoughts/ideas/secrets, never/not shared with anyone/others//people will have their privacy, not shared with others
畫龍點睛：此句中如果用定語從句的話不可漏掉關聯詞that；如果不用定語從句可以簡化為分詞作定語。另起一句重復一下their private thoughts雖然也可以，但比較啰嗦、耗時，不建議。
46. 標準答案：Americans' houses, yards and even their offices can seem open and inviting. Yet in the minds of Americans, there are boundaries that other people are simply not supposed to cross
聽音關鍵：houses..., seem open and inviting, in minds, boundaries, not to cross
答案重構：Americans' houses, yards and offices seem open and inviting. But in their minds, there are boundaries otehr people shouldn't cross
畫龍點睛：inviting這個詞在這里用的是考生不太熟悉的意思“有吸引力的”，跟“邀請”沒有關系，所以構成了考生理解上的困難，不少考生寫錯，此外，seem寫成了seen，cross寫成了across，或者后半句寫不出的也是典型的問題。boundaries一詞雖難，但下一句中有出現，可以利用。
