答案解析

答案解析：
36. conflict-ridden
解析：根据一空填一词的规律判断，此处应填入一个由连字符连接的合成词。另外，“n.+ridden”构成的形容词表示“为……所苦的，充满……的”。
37. athletic
解析：本词是名词athlete（运动员）的形容词。
38. eased
解析：根据句义判断和be动词的提示，后面如果是动词，应使用动词的被动形式。故听写时不要漏了词尾的-d。
39. impact
解析：根据空格前的不定冠词an提示，空格内应填入以元音开头的表“影响”含义的名词。
40. device
解析：根据其后的不定式结构可推断该名词表物体，功能是to create several minor blister wounds。注意/s/音不要拼写成se，应为ce。
41. sessions
解析：根据前面的数字two判断，此处应使用可数名词的复数形式，且由其后的about two months apart可知该词表时间段。
42. neutral
解析：表示“中立的”，注意不要将eu误写为ew。
43. resolve
解析：根据句义判断，这里的to应为表示目的的动词不定式符号，所以后应跟动词原形。
44. 标准答案：checked participants' wounds over the next few weeks and their production of three proteins created in wound healing
听音关键：checked, wounds, next few weeks, production, proteins, created in wound healing
答案重构：checked couples' wounds over the next few weeks and how the three proteins were produced in wound healing
画龙点睛：本句需要把握结构。如果对participants'的书写没有把握，可改写成文章内多次出现的couples'，注意要使用复数的所有格形式。
45. 标准答案：couples took longer to heal when asked to thrash out points of conflict than neutral issues
听音关键：couples, took longer, heal, thrash out, conflict, neutral
答案重构：couples needed more time to heal when asked to study points of conflict than neutral things
画龙点睛：请注意由when引导的从句的主语与主句的主语一致，因此可以省略。
46. 标准答案：These are minor wounds and brief, restrained encounters. Real-life marital conflict probably has a worse impact
听音关键：minor, brief, restrained, encounters, real-life, conflict, worse, impact
答案重构：These are small wounds and short fights within limits. Conflict in real marriages may have a worse effect
画龙点睛：conflict一词在文中已出现多次，并不构成听写的障碍，所以不必改写。一些拼写没有把握的词可用相近意思的词或表达来代替。
