答案解析：
36. empty-handed
解析：empty-handed a. 空手的，徒手的；定語從句who go home empty-handed，用來修飾Academy Award nominees（奧斯卡獎提名者）。注意：empty和handed之間要有連字符。
37. productive
解析：和successful并列，本題和下一題都應(yīng)是形容詞。productive a. 能產(chǎn)的，多產(chǎn)的。
38. respected
解析：respected 令人尊敬的。不要寫成動詞respect。
39. health
解析：根據(jù)前面的形容詞比較級better，此處應(yīng)填名詞。千萬別畫蛇添足，加個y。
40. occupation
解析：別少寫一個c。
41. improved
解析：注意用過去分詞作定語，另外，不要當(dāng)成approved或proved。
42. information
解析：速記的時候，可用其縮寫形式info，最后補(bǔ)全。
43. awards
解析：根據(jù)后面的were可知，此處需要一個復(fù)數(shù)名詞，不要漏了詞尾s；也不要寫成rewards（酬勞，獎金）。
44. 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：To explain the puzzling findings, he offered two theories
聽音關(guān)鍵：explain, puzzling, findings, offered two theories
答案重構(gòu)：(1) He offered two theories to explain the confusing findings
(2) The findings were confusing, so he put forth two theories to explain them
畫龍點(diǎn)睛：原詞照搬時，需要注意findings, theories用復(fù)數(shù)形式，offered是過去時。puzzling可以用confusing替換。
45. 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：meaning they smoke more, exercise less, and work a lot of late-night hours, which translates into not enough sleep
聽音關(guān)鍵：smoke more, exercise less, work a lot of late-night hours, not enough sleep
答案重構(gòu)：(1) meaning they smoke more, exercise less, work much at night and get insufficient sleep
(2) meaning more cigarettes, less exercise, much night work and insufficient sleep
畫龍點(diǎn)睛：meaning作后置定語，相當(dāng)于which means。句中meaning后面是賓語從句，smoke, exercise, work三個謂語動詞并列。聽寫時要注意語法關(guān)系正確。translate into表示“轉(zhuǎn)化為、意味著”。改寫時可以把meaning后的賓語從句改為名詞成分，把which引導(dǎo)的定語從句提升為并列的謂語。
46. 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：and as a consequence your success may lead you to more alcohol, more parties, and more fatness
聽音關(guān)鍵：consequence, success, lead to, more alcohol, parties, fatness
答案重構(gòu)：(1) and as a result your success may mean that you will drink more wine, have more parties, and become fatter
(2) and so you may drink more alcohol, have more parties and become fatter because of your success
畫龍點(diǎn)睛：要注意consequence, alcohol, fatness等詞的拼寫。若沒有把握，可以用同義詞替換，如用result, wine, fat來表達(dá)。原句lead to后面的名詞可以用動詞形式改寫。
