Section C Compound Dictation
36. 答案:scale
解析:on...scale为固定搭配,表示“以……的规模”。
37. 答案:prospect
解析:根据前面的little一词判断,应填入一个表示“可能”的不可数名词。
38. 答案:finance
解析:根据后文的provide money,可知此处应填入一个表示“资金”或“贷款”之义的不可数名词。
39. 答案:permanent
解析:不定冠词a和名词basis之间应填入一个修饰性的形容词。注意元音字母的拼写。
40. 答案:exchange
解析: in exchange for为固定短语,意为“交换……”。
41. 答案:issuing
解析:跟在介词by后面的动词应使用动名词形式。拼写时注意要将issue去e再加-ing。
42. 答案:individuals
解析:此处需要一个与institution“机构”相对应的名词,很可能是“个人”。拼写时注意不要漏了词尾的s。该词为divid(e)加前后缀派生出来的单词,明白这一点就不容易写错了。
43. 答案:originally
解析:此处需要一个副词来修饰后面的动词placed。拼写时注意有两个l。
44. 标准答案:he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money
听音关键:sells, shares, to some other saver, seeking to invest
答案重构:he sells his shares through a stockbroker to other people who are also trying to make money
画龙点睛:注意原文中who引导的定语从句里的谓语动词为is,所以前面some other修饰的名词就不可以是复数形式。改写后的people为复数,所以定语从句里的谓语动词要相应改写为are。
45. 标准答案:All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly
听音关键:require, spending, new equipment, development, serve, properly
答案重构:We need to spend more money on new equipment and development if we are to get proper services
画龙点睛:注意原文主句和从句的主语均为复数形式,所以谓语动词也应为复数形式。改写后的句子将主语换成了we,仍为复数形式,所以谓语动词不需要发生改变。另外,根据下文可判断出spend的对象应为more money。
46. 标准答案:frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange
听音关键:frequently, borrow, finance major capital spending, too, the Stock Exchange
答案重构:often have to borrow money to support government spending and they also turn to the stock market for help
画龙点睛:原文中too作为插入成分,应用逗号与句子前后隔开。另外,the Stock Exchange(股票交易所)为专有名词,首字母应大写,前文中出现过,可以作为参考。
