答案解析:
36. unrelated
解析:前綴un-表示否定意義,unrelated意為“沒有關聯的”。
37. increasingly
解析:此詞修飾形容詞或副詞,表示“越來越”,注意不要漏了結尾的-ly。
38. helpless
解析:前面是系動詞felt,因此這里一定需要形容詞形式,不要錯寫成helply。
39. solemn
解析:容易漏寫n,因此此處n不發音;也有少數人會漏寫m,或將n寫成e。
40. swore
解析:根據上下文,此處用的是一般過去時的時態,不要寫成swear,當然更不可杜撰成swar。
41. sense
解析:make sense固定搭配,意為“有意義”。
42. abandoned
解析:不要寫成abandon,abandoned在此作形容詞,修飾foundations,意為“被拋棄的”。
43. divorced
解析:注意時態,應用過去時,不要寫成divorce。
44. 標準答案:not necessarily because they love each other, but because they were stuck, and it was better to be stuck comfortably than otherwise
聽音關鍵:not necessarily, love each other, stuck, better to be stuck comfortably than otherwise
答案重構:1). not necessarily because of love, but because they were always together with each other, which was better than get divorced
2). there might not be much love, but they just stayed together, and it was better to stay together comfortably than get divorced
畫龍點睛:句中的be stuck意為“長期(和某人)在一起”;otherwise此處意即“離婚”。be stuck(詞語本身不難,難在一下子可能想不起來)可以用get/stay together替換。
45. 標準答案:that divorce is beneficial, educational, that the second or third marriage is "the best", and the only reason left to marry is love
聽音關鍵:divorce is beneficial,educational,the second or third marriage is "the best", the only reason left to marry is love
答案重構:1). that divorce is good and educatioanl, that the second or third marriage is "the best", and that one may keep a marriage only because of love
2). that divorce is good and educational, that it is best to have a second or third marriage, and that only love is the rightful reason for marriage
畫龍點睛:要聽寫的部分實際上是argue的三個賓語從句,這幾個從句之間是并列關系,每個從句單獨來看并不復雜。所以,句子結構基本上沒有什么可變動之處。在詞匯層面上,beneficial可用good替換,the best勉強可以用perfect代替。
46. 標準答案:In other respects, our rapidly-rising divorce rate and the declining marriage rate represent a loss
聽音關鍵:In other respects, rapidly-rising divorce rate, the declining marriage rate, represent a loss
答案重構:1). In other respects, our rapidly-rising divorce rate and declining marriage rate can be seen as a loss
2). In other respects, it is a sign of loss to have a rapid-rising divorce rate and a declining marriage rate
畫龍點睛:前一句有In some respects,與此句中的In other respects形成照應。本句與前一句是對比關系,represent也可以用前一句中的can be seen as替換。句中的rising divorce rate和declining marriage rate是語義上的對比,相關詞匯原文均出現過,應該不難寫出。此外,若按原文寫出rapidly,注意用連詞符把它與rising連寫。
