新编六级听力练习 第266期

Section C Compound Dictation
答案解析：
36. lie
解析：就整个句子来说，这是一个谚语，意为“自作自受，自食其果”，前半句make your bed“铺床”，后半句lie in it中的it即bed，所以所填单词为lie“躺下”。
37. associated
解析：associate与介词with搭配“与……相联系/关联”，这里要特别注意其语法形式，分词短语作状语，所以要在词尾加d。另外，注意不要少写s。
38. assign
解析：应该说本题还是有些难度的：这个词本身并不难，但是在这里它的意思并不是它的本意，而是构成了assign importance to这个结构，所以有的考生即使听到了也不敢确认。另外，注意不要少写s或g。
39. spent
解析：这个词要注意语法形式，应该填写其过去分词形式，考生即使在没有听清词尾的情况下，也应该核对一下前后的语法搭配，因为后面是名词短语，所以这里只能填其过去分词，用作修饰语。
40. difficulty
解析：此题相对比较容易。应该使用名词difficulty构成固定词组have difficulty doing sth。
41. dislike
解析：根据前一个定语从句的形式，此动词应该用原形，后接动名词，dislike doing sth.“不喜欢做某事”。
42. afford
解析：此题也比较容易，填写原形动词，因为前面有情态动词。但是要注意双写f。
43. infant
解析：此词不常用，要注意拼写，尤其是元音字母。
44. 标准答案：she is entitled to a place of her own where she can be by herself, and keep her possessions
听音关键：own place, by herself, keep possessions
答案重构：she can have her own place. There she can live/stay by herself, and keep her own things
画龙点睛：不少考生将be entitled to这个短语错写成了 in title等或漏写d，把by (herself)写成了buy...，possessions写成了postitions.
45. 标准答案：people will have their private thoughts that might never be shared with anyone
听音关键：private thoughts, never shared
答案重构：people will have their own/personal thoughts/ideas/secrets, never/not shared with anyone/others//people will have their privacy, not shared with others
画龙点睛：此句中如果用定语从句的话不可漏掉关联词that；如果不用定语从句可以简化为分词作定语。另起一句重复一下their private thoughts虽然也可以，但比较啰嗦、耗时，不建议。
46. 标准答案：Americans' houses, yards and even their offices can seem open and inviting. Yet in the minds of Americans, there are boundaries that other people are simply not supposed to cross
听音关键：houses..., seem open and inviting, in minds, boundaries, not to cross
答案重构：Americans' houses, yards and offices seem open and inviting. But in their minds, there are boundaries otehr people shouldn't cross
画龙点睛：inviting这个词在这里用的是考生不太熟悉的意思“有吸引力的”，跟“邀请”没有关系，所以构成了考生理解上的困难，不少考生写错，此外，seem写成了seen，cross写成了across，或者后半句写不出的也是典型的问题。boundaries一词虽难，但下一句中有出现，可以利用。
