Section C Compound Dictation
答案解析
36. 答案:noteworthy
解析:此处需要形容词,修饰名词benefits。该词为多音节形容词,表示“显著的,值得注意的”,其比较级或最高级用“more/most+原级”形式。后缀-worthy构成的形容词,一般表示“值得……的”,类似结构的单词还有trustworthy(值得信赖的),praiseworthy(值得表扬的)等。
37. 答案:occurred
解析:注意occur的过去分词、现在分词和名词都应先双写字母r,再加以变化。
38. 答案:host
解析:a host of为固定搭配,表示“一大群许多”,后面跟可数名词的复数形式。
39. 答案:impaired
解析:此处需要形容词或名词修饰fertility,与or前的liver damages构成并列结构。故若只听到impair也可知要补上-ed,表示“受损的,(能力)减弱的”。注意air不要误写成are。
40. 答案:previous
解析:此处需要形容词,修饰名词reports。该词意为“以前的”。
41. 答案:fend
解析:根据前面的help可知,此处需要动词原形,且能与介词off搭配。fend off表示“抵挡,避开”。
42. 答案:overestimated
解析:由前面的have been可知该词为分词形式,故不要漏了词尾的-d。注意“over+v./n./adj.”表示“过去/过量/过分……”,反义词一般为“under+v./n./adj.”,表示“……不足”。
43. 答案:annual
解析:此处需要形容词,修饰meeting。注意不要忘记双写字母n。
44. 标准答案:The Heart Association advises that alcohol, if consumed at all, should be limited to one drink per day for women and two per day for men
听音关键:Heart Association, advise, alcohol, consumed, limited, one, per day, women, two, men
答案重构:The Heart Association advises that women should be limited to one alcoholic drink every day and men two
画龙点睛:注意,advise后跟that引导的从句时,从句使用虚拟语气,即谓语使用“should+动词原形”的形式,改写时也是一样。记录原句时,要注意if consumed at all为插入成分,前后应用逗号隔开。
45. 标准答案:interviewed family members about the deceased men's drinking habits and then studied alcohol's effect on their blood vessels
听音关键:interviewed, family members, deceased, drinking habits, studied, alcohol's effect, vessels
答案重构:asked family members about those dead men's drinking habits and studied alcohol's effect on their blood vessels
画龙点睛:man与men在发音上极为相似,但是根据后半句的their判断,应为复数形式。deceased可以替换为简单的dead。
46. 标准答案:The more people drank, the more likely they were to have suffered a fatal heart attack
听音关键:more, drank, more likely, were to, suffered, fatal, heart attack
答案重构:people who drank more were more likely to suffer a fatal heart attack
画龙点睛:在听记原文时,注意“the more...the more”的结构。
