答案解析:
36. cease
解析:根據第36題在句子中的位置可以知道:此處需要一個動詞。A very large number of people cease when quite young to add anything to a limited stock of judgments. 意思是“許多人在他們很年輕的時候就不再為自己有限的見識補充任何東西。”此詞不要誤聽成seize。
37. finished
解析:系動詞之后如果是動詞的某種形式的話,要么是-ed,要么是-ing。finish后的-ed不要漏掉。
38. natural
解析:natural a. 自然的,正常的,常用于it's natural that...或it's natural for sb. to do sth. 結構中;不要寫成nature n. 自然,自然界。
39. equipped
解析:不要漏掉-ed,并雙寫p。be equipped for“為……做準備”。
40. occurs
解析:當句子的主語是單數第三人稱時,要特別注意謂語動詞的形式。不要漏掉s。
41. ordinary
解析:ordinary a. 平常的,普通的,平凡的;ordinary happening“平常的事”。
42. merely
解析:根據第42題在句子中的位置可以知道動詞前一定是個副詞。merely ad. 僅僅,只,不過。
43. noticing
解析:stop doing sth.“停止做某事”,不要寫成notice。
44. 標準答案:that they are prepared to receive on its own terms
聽音關鍵:prepared to receive,on its own terms
答案重構:1) that they are ready to receive for its own sake
2) that they are prepared to accept as it is
畫龍點睛:要聽寫的部分在句子中作定語,因此其語法結構上受到較大的限制。最好是能夠照原文逐字聽寫出來。on one's own terms根據自身的特點,在本句中,相當于for its own sake, as it is。這部分的意思是:因為這是唯一一種他們愿意根據事物自身的特點來接受的經驗。be prepared to相當于be ready to, be willing to;receive相當于 accept。
45. 標準答案:Their artistic sensibilities may be as crusted over as their minds
聽音關鍵: artistic sensibilities,crusted over,as their minds
答案重構:1) Their artistic sensibilities may be as dull as their minds
2) They may have lost their artistic sensitivity, just as they have lost curiosity for new things in their mind
畫龍點睛:本句的難點之一是crusted,不過可以從下文中得到該詞的拼寫。crust指“外殼、硬皮、硬殼”。crusted指“陳年的,古老的,遲鈍的”。還有要注意sensibilities是用復數形式。
46. 標準答案:that artists who are interested in breaking crusts
聽音關鍵:artists, work for the public, not merely for themselves, interested in breaking crusts
答案重構:1) that artists who work for the public and not only for themselves are interested in sharpening the public's sensitivity
2) that artists who are not self-centered would like to break crusts
畫龍點睛:定語從句who work for the public and not merely for themselves雖然比較長,但是沒有什么難詞,也不會構成多大的困難。因此,本句以“原詞照搬”為聽寫的最佳方案。
v. 停止,終止
n. 停止
