答案解析:
Section C Compound Dictation
36. 答案:amazing
解析:此处需要名词或形容词进一步描述tourism。注意不要拼成amasing。
37. 答案:customs
解析:根据并列结构可知此处需要名词。custom意为“风俗”。
38. 答案:couple
解析:根据下一句的代词they可知此处需要表示人的集体名词。couple意为“一对”。
39. 答案:compare
解析:根据前面的to可知此处为动词原形,且能与其后的with构成搭配。注意不要写成compel(迫使)。compare...with...意为“把……与……相比。”
40. 答案:fortunately
解析:根据此空的位置(主语与谓语之间)可知应该是个副词。
41. 答案:routes
解析:此处需要名词,要根据主题、上下文确定同音词的选择,此文介绍旅游,当然更可能提及的是routes(路线),不是roots(根)。
42. 答案:different
解析:此处需要形容词修饰其后的places。注意此词有两个f。
43. 答案:sights
解析:此处需要复数名词,跟此词同音的有cites,sites,而旅游更可能是观光,与cites(引用)和sites(遗址,场所)的关系不大。
44. 标准答案:Of course the tour company leaves it pretty much up to the people to do whatever they want
听音关键:tour company, leaves much to the people, whatever
答案重构:Of course the tour company allows people much freedom to do anything they want
画龙点睛:此题关键是把握leave sth. up to sb. to do结构。
45. 标准答案:because of language problems and being a little bit afraid
听音关键:language problems, afraid
答案重构:because they have language problems and are a bit afraid
画龙点睛:此题较简单,要记下两个因素。可改写成从句。
46. 标准答案:the more tourists can mix with local people, the better off everyone is
听音关键:the more, mix, the better off
答案重构:the more tourists can stay with local people, the more benefits everyone can get
画龙点睛:此题是the more...the more结构,注意短语better off是“状况好的”的意思。
