Section C Compound Dictation
36. 答案:scale
解析:on...scale為固定搭配,表示“以……的規?!?。
37. 答案:prospect
解析:根據前面的little一詞判斷,應填入一個表示“可能”的不可數名詞。
38. 答案:finance
解析:根據后文的provide money,可知此處應填入一個表示“資金”或“貸款”之義的不可數名詞。
39. 答案:permanent
解析:不定冠詞a和名詞basis之間應填入一個修飾性的形容詞。注意元音字母的拼寫。
40. 答案:exchange
解析: in exchange for為固定短語,意為“交換……”。
41. 答案:issuing
解析:跟在介詞by后面的動詞應使用動名詞形式。拼寫時注意要將issue去e再加-ing。
42. 答案:individuals
解析:此處需要一個與institution“機構”相對應的名詞,很可能是“個人”。拼寫時注意不要漏了詞尾的s。該詞為divid(e)加前后綴派生出來的單詞,明白這一點就不容易寫錯了。
43. 答案:originally
解析:此處需要一個副詞來修飾后面的動詞placed。拼寫時注意有兩個l。
44. 標準答案:he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money
聽音關鍵:sells, shares, to some other saver, seeking to invest
答案重構:he sells his shares through a stockbroker to other people who are also trying to make money
畫龍點睛:注意原文中who引導的定語從句里的謂語動詞為is,所以前面some other修飾的名詞就不可以是復數形式。改寫后的people為復數,所以定語從句里的謂語動詞要相應改寫為are。
45. 標準答案:All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly
聽音關鍵:require, spending, new equipment, development, serve, properly
答案重構:We need to spend more money on new equipment and development if we are to get proper services
畫龍點睛:注意原文主句和從句的主語均為復數形式,所以謂語動詞也應為復數形式。改寫后的句子將主語換成了we,仍為復數形式,所以謂語動詞不需要發生改變。另外,根據下文可判斷出spend的對象應為more money。
46. 標準答案:frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange
聽音關鍵:frequently, borrow, finance major capital spending, too, the Stock Exchange
答案重構:often have to borrow money to support government spending and they also turn to the stock market for help
畫龍點睛:原文中too作為插入成分,應用逗號與句子前后隔開。另外,the Stock Exchange(股票交易所)為專有名詞,首字母應大寫,前文中出現過,可以作為參考。
