36. achieves
解析：此处需要一个第三人称单数动词充当谓语成分。注意ie不要错写成ei。
37. farewell
解析：此处需要一个名词或形容词修饰visit。farewell“辞别，再见”，注意不要写成fair，也不要少写一个l。
38. inappropriate
解析：根据空格前的is，此处需要一个形容词作表语，inappropriate“不当的”，注意双写p，以及前缀in-。
39. acquaintances
解析：此处需要一个名词，acquaintance“熟人”为可数名词，此处需要复数形式。不要漏写cquai中任何一个字母。
40. uncomfortable
解析：根据feel，此处需要一个形容词作表语，uncomfortable“不舒服的，不安的”。
41. absolutely

42. inexpensive

44. 标准答案：If you like, you can wrap the gifts, but wrapping is not always necessary
听音关键：wrap，but，not always necessary
答案重构：You can wrap the gifts if you like, but it is not always necessary to do so
画龙点睛：此句虽然不长，但是属于复杂句，注意主从句关系和语义转折。如果记录原句，wrapping需要动名词形式，双写p，对此没把握者最好加上改写。
45. 标准答案：They would thank you and make some comment about the gift's beauty or practicality so that you know your gift is highly appreciated
听音关键：thank，comment，gift's beauty or practicality，highly appreciated
答案重构：They would thank you and comment on the gift's beauty or practicality so that you know they like your gift very much
画龙点睛：听写时尽量将短语简化为单词，如动词comment代替make some comment，难写的单词尽量同义替换，如highly appreciated变成like...very much。
46. 标准答案：When they ask you whether the gift is homemade, in fact, they are flattering you. They are trying to tell you that you are skillful and talented enough to make it
听音关键：whether homemade，flattering you，skillful，talented
答案重构：If they ask you whether the gift is homemade, they are flattering you, meaning that you are skillful and talented enough to make it
画龙点睛：听写时尽量在不改变原义的情况下将复杂句改为简单句，如上，将后一句改为分词作状语。
