答案解析:
36. focused
解析:be focused on是固定搭配,即使听不清-ed的音,根据语法知识,系动词之后如果是动词的某种形式的话,要么是-ed,要么是-ing,此处要补出词尾-ed。
37. Basically
解析:逗号之前一个独立的插入语往往是副词,注意不要漏掉al。
38. emotionally
解析:此处需要与前文的physically,mentally在形式上和语义上为并列关系的词。
39. distant
解析:此处需要形容词修饰future,"distant future"意思是“遥远的将来”。不远的将来表达为not-too-distant future或near future。
40. cancer
解析:不要误写为cancel。因为or的前面是heart disease,故此处应该填写另一种疾病。
41. retirement
解析:年轻的时候可能不会考虑生病、退休、死亡等,此词是retire的名词形式。
42. crossed
解析:根据语法知识,助动词have,has,had之后的动词要用过去分词形式,因此即使听不到-ed的音,也要补出词尾-ed。另外,不要误写成across。
43. increasingly
解析:此词修饰形容词或副词,表示“越来越”。
44. 标准答案:Regardless of your age, you can make a number of important changes in your current lifestyle
听音关键:Regardless,age,changes,current lifestyle
答案重构:No matter how old you are, you can make some great changes in your current lifestyle
画龙点睛:regardless of是四级常考短语;make changes为固定搭配;a number of后接名词复数形式。current lifestyle可能是难点,可以改写成present habits之类的表达。
45. 标准答案:We know much more about preventive health today than our parents and grandparents did in the past
听音关键:know more,preventive health,than,parents and grandparents
答案重构:We know preventive health much more now than our parents and grandparents did in the past
画龙点睛:注意比较结构和后半句的时态。preventive是个派生词,根据发音和上下文应该可以写对。
46. 标准答案:And this new knowledge can be transmitted to our children to help them become healthier than our generation
听音关键:knowledge,transmit,children,help,healthier,than our generation
答案重构:And this new knowledge can be passed on to our children so that they can be healthier than us
画龙点睛:knowledge是必须掌握的词汇,transmit可以替换,不定式目的可以用so that改写,our generation写成us意义上也没有什么遗失。
