答案解析:
Section C Compound Dictation
36. 答案:contain
解析:此处需要谓语动词。根据短文时态可知应用一般现在时,而该句主语为复数department stores,故此处用动词原型。
37. 答案:categories
解析:根据前面的two可知此处需要复数名词。category n. 种类。
38. 答案:furnishings
解析:根据并列结构可知此处需要跟日常生活有关的名词。复数形式furnishings表示“家具”。
39. 答案:complex
解析:此处需要体现主语organization性质的词,一般应该是形容词。此词后面常有人误加-ed,其实这个词只作形容词和名词,不可以加-ed。
40. 答案:principal
解析:此处需要形容词作定语。principal“主要的”,注意不要写成名词principle“原则,原理”。
41. 答案:responsible
解析:此处需要可以与for搭配的形容词。词尾-ible不要写成-able。要记住哪些词尾是-able,哪些是-ible。be responsible for“对……负有责任”。
42. 答案:promotion
解析:此处需要能够影响sales的词。sales promotion“促销”。词尾含-tion的单词常考。
43. 答案:personnel
解析:根据语篇的话题和上下文可以预测用词的范畴,文中的五个divisions前面的空格都是指它们的职能,所以此处肯定不是近音词personal,此外注意有两个n。personal a. 个人的;personnel n. 人事部门。
44. 标准答案:operations division, responsible for customer and selling services, for deliveries, and for the receiving and maintenance of merchandise
听音关键:operations division, responsible, services, deliveries, merchandise
答案重构:the operations division is responsible for customer and selling services, for deliveries, and for the receiving and maintenance of goods
画龙点睛:长句第一遍听的时候要抓出其主要结构(operations division,responsible for A,B and C),第二遍注意记录部分实义词(services,deliveries,merchandise),第三遍要查漏补缺(虚词+customer and selling,receiving and maintenance),最后通读完善。难词如merchandise可改为goods,products。
45. 标准答案:The heads or managers of the five principal divisions are responsible to the general manager
听音关键:heads of divisions, responsible to the general manager
答案重构:The leaders of the five major divisions are responsible to the general manager
画龙点睛:此句较前一句就简单多了,但是注意responsible后接to是指“向某人负责”,所以后面的宾语应该是人。
46. 标准答案:Some malls are enclosed so that people can shop comfortably in any kind of weather
听音关键:malls, enclosed, shop comfortably, any weather
答案重构:Some malls are enclosed for people to shop comfortably in any kind of weather
画龙点睛:此句中的enclosed有可能被误当天in closed甚至in clothes。这是往年考生犯过的一类错误,如:将entitle错当成了in title。
