新编四级听力练习 第317期

答案解析：

36. 答案：accident
解析：根据冠词an，可以预测此处是个以元音开头的名词，注意双写字母c。
37. 答案：rushed
解析：本篇全文都是用过去时态表达的，因此填词时要注意时态一致。注意过去式、过去分词听不清词尾时要根据语法知识补上。
38. 答案：awe-inspiring
解析：根据并列结构中and前的astonishing可知此处很可能也是个-ing结尾的形容词。注意这个合成词中有连字符；不要漏掉不发音字母e。
39. 答案：creatures
解析：根据其后定语从句中的human beings，可知此处是个复数名词。
40. 答案：understood
解析：根据前面的make themselves可预测此处是个分词或形容词，注意understand的过去分词有两个o。
41. 答案：treated
解析：根据句子结构，此处需要过去时态的谓语动词。此词中的/i:/音是由字母组合ea发出的。
42. 答案：normal
解析：根据语义及系动词be，可知后面应该是个描述“她”的状况的形容词。
43. 答案：suffering
解析：根据前面的was probably可预测此处是个分词或形容词，注意有两个f。
44. 标准答案：But when she gave her address, it was in a town over a thousand miles from the hospital
听音关键：address, a thousand miles from the hospital
答案重构：But her address was in a town more than a thousand miles away from the hospital
画龙点睛：主从复合句的重点在主句信息。可以用turned out to be代替was。
45. 标准答案：Her car had been found with the driver's door open and the engine running
听音关键：car, found, door open, engine running
答案重构：The drive's door of her car had been found open and its engine running
画龙点睛：with+名词+形容词/分词，表伴随状态，应该学会使用。如果改写，必须保证原意不变。
46. 标准答案：but as though a large, circular, white, hot object had burned through it
听音关键：a large circular white hot object, burned
答案重构：but as if a large, round, white, hot object had burnt through it
画龙点睛：as though可换成as if，此处是虚拟语气，要用过去完成时体现出来；burned可换成burnt。
