解析:現在完成時,用過去分詞,動詞后要加ed。此處appeal to意為“喚起”。

41. offered
解析:被動語態,要用過去分詞,offer表示“提供”之義。

44. 標準答案:On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer's real concerns
聽音關鍵:positive, emotional appeals, respond to, real concerns
答案重構:On the positive side, emotional appeals may meet a consumer's real needs
畫龍點睛:respond to a consumer's concerns,直譯為“回應了消費者的關注”,實際上也就是指“滿足了消費者的需求”,可根據這個意思,替換為meet a consumer's needs 。
45. 標準答案:But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance
聽音關鍵:fear of loss, real reason for, fire insurance
答案重構:But the fear of loss is why people want to buy fire insurance
畫龍點睛:此句結構簡單,盡量考慮“照搬原文”。聽寫時除了關注重點實詞,對of以及for這種連接性的介詞也要注意,此句中介詞聽明白了,句子結構也就清楚了。
46. 標準答案:If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising
聽音關鍵:consumers, consider, quality, as well as, message, benefit, adversiting
答案重構:The adversiting can benefit consumers if they can take both the quality of the insurance plans and the message in the ads into consideration
畫龍點睛:此句關鍵在于as well as,把該詞組前后的兩組短語the quality of the insurance plans和the message in the ads記下來,再根據句子大意,可進行適當的替換。
