Section C
Compound Dictation
36. recent
解析:此处需要以辅音发音开头的形容词作定语。
37. failing
解析:前面有系动词are,又是主动词态,需用现在分词。
38. essential
解析:此处需要形容词,注意双写s和词尾tial。essential意为“基本的”。
39. awareness
解析:此处需要名词,拼写时注意结尾双写s。awareness表示“意识,认识”。
40. fluency
解析:此处与前后其他名词词组并列,故也需要名词,拼写时注意中间是uen。fluency意为“流利”。
41. released
解析:根据后面的by可知,此处要用动词的被动语态,注意结尾应加ed。release在此处意为“公开发表,公布”。
42. gathered
解析:根据该句后面的was可知,此处应用一般过去时,勿漏词尾的ed。gather表示“收集”之义。
43. sample
解析:此处需填入一个以辅音发音开头的可数名词,sample意为“样品,样本”。
44. 标准答案:Almost all of the 72 institutions in our sample earned a 'failing' grade
听音关键:Almost all, 72 institutions, sample, failing
答案重构:Almost all of the 72 institutions in our sample failed the program
画龙点睛:此句重点要表达的是最后的earned a 'failing' grade, 即被选入参与项目的有代表性的学校中,几乎全部都得到一个不合格的分数,可直接用动词fail替换。
45. Those elements were identified as necessary for effective reading instruction
听音关键:elements, identified, necessary, effective, instruction
答案重构:Those elements proved to be necessary for effective reading instruction
画龙点睛:be identified as意为“结果是,证明是”,可用更为经常使用的prove to替换。
46. have been the driving force behind state and federal initiatives for raising student achivement ever since
听音关键:driving force, state and federal, initiatives, raising, achievement
答案重构:have been the root for encouraging the state and federal government to raise student achievement ever since
画龙点睛:driving force意为“推动力”,可用简单的root一词进行替换。
