新编四级听力练习 第377期

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。
