答案解析:
36. applied
解析:be applied to意思是“被应用到……”。注意将y变成i再加-ed。
37. adjust
解析:注意不要漏了d,尽管该字母不发音。
38. obvious
解析:又一个含有i发出的/I/音的多音节单词,一定要过关哦。
39. adapted
解析:不要漏掉-ed,be adapted to为固定搭配,意思是“对……适合”。
40. affected
解析:被动语态,affect要加-ed;不要把affect(v.影响)和effect(n.影响)混淆。
41. processes
解析:不要少写一个s,或忽略复数词尾es。
42. mystery
解析:中间含有y发/I/音的多音节单词常考。注意拼写,特别是第2个字母。

解析:account for是固定搭配,意思是“解释,说明”。不要少写一个c。
44. 标准答案:each individual contains its own independent timing system
听音关键:individual, contains, its own independent timing system
答案重构:1) Each individual has a unique timing system
2) All living things have their own independent timing system
3) The timing systems of all living things differ from one another
画龙点睛:这里的individual是指living things中的“个体”,如果拼写没有把握,可以借鉴前文出现的living things。如果改写为people或者human则会有意义上的偏差。
45. 标准答案:The other theory holds that living things react continuously to their rhythmic physical environment
听音关键:The other theory, living things, react continuously, rhythmic physical environment
答案重构:1) The other theory holds that each individual responds constantly to the rhythmic physical environment
2) According to the second/other theory, living things reacts continually to their environment, which is rhythmic
画龙点睛:共提到两个理论,前面介绍了第1个,此空应该是另外一个。"the other theory holds"可以按照前文"according to the first of these theories"改写为according to the other/second theory。这样,整个句子的结构就改变了,原来的宾语从句就上升为一个主句。continually可以用后文中的constantly替换。rhythmic在前文出现过,应该写得出来。 physical environment自然环境,实在写不出physical,宁可不写。
46. 标准答案:Not only has no independent timing system ever been discovered, but there has not yet been even a guess as to its nature
听音关键:no independent timing system, discovered, guess, its nature
答案重构:1) Scientists have neither found any independent timing system nor guessed at its nature
2) No independent timing system has been found yet; furthemore, nobody has even tried to think about its nature
画龙点睛:原句是not only...but (also)结构,可以根据其含义改为并列句。因为原句的两部分都是否定结构,可以用neither...nor...形式引导。尽管independent timing system可能比较难,但是上下文中并不缺少该词组,所以应该可以写出来。此外,也可以根据句子结构的需要把discover与find替换,把guess改为try to think about。
