Section C
Compound Dictation
36. recent
解析:此處需要以輔音發音開頭的形容詞作定語。
37. failing
解析:前面有系動詞are,又是主動詞態,需用現在分詞。
38. essential
解析:此處需要形容詞,注意雙寫s和詞尾tial。essential意為“基本的”。
39. awareness
解析:此處需要名詞,拼寫時注意結尾雙寫s。awareness表示“意識,認識”。
40. fluency
解析:此處與前后其他名詞詞組并列,故也需要名詞,拼寫時注意中間是uen。fluency意為“流利”。
41. released
解析:根據后面的by可知,此處要用動詞的被動語態,注意結尾應加ed。release在此處意為“公開發表,公布”。
42. gathered
解析:根據該句后面的was可知,此處應用一般過去時,勿漏詞尾的ed。gather表示“收集”之義。
43. sample
解析:此處需填入一個以輔音發音開頭的可數名詞,sample意為“樣品,樣本”。
44. 標準答案:Almost all of the 72 institutions in our sample earned a 'failing' grade
聽音關鍵:Almost all, 72 institutions, sample, failing
答案重構:Almost all of the 72 institutions in our sample failed the program
畫龍點睛:此句重點要表達的是最后的earned a 'failing' grade, 即被選入參與項目的有代表性的學校中,幾乎全部都得到一個不合格的分數,可直接用動詞fail替換。
45. Those elements were identified as necessary for effective reading instruction
聽音關鍵:elements, identified, necessary, effective, instruction
答案重構:Those elements proved to be necessary for effective reading instruction
畫龍點睛:be identified as意為“結果是,證明是”,可用更為經常使用的prove to替換。
46. have been the driving force behind state and federal initiatives for raising student achivement ever since
聽音關鍵:driving force, state and federal, initiatives, raising, achievement
答案重構:have been the root for encouraging the state and federal government to raise student achievement ever since
畫龍點睛:driving force意為“推動力”,可用簡單的root一詞進行替換。
