答案解析

Section C Compound Dictation

36. 答案：scale
解析：on...scale为固定搭配，表示“以……的规模”。
37. 答案：prospect
解析：根据前面的little一词判断，应填入一个表示“可能”的不可数名词。
38. 答案：finance
解析：根据后文的provide money，可知此处应填入一个表示“资金”或“贷款”之义的不可数名词。
39. 答案：permanent
解析：不定冠词a和名词basis之间应填入一个修饰性的形容词。注意元音字母的拼写。
40. 答案：exchange
解析： in exchange for为固定短语，意为“交换……”。
41. 答案：issuing
解析：跟在介词by后面的动词应使用动名词形式。拼写时注意要将issue去e再加-ing。
42. 答案：individuals
解析：此处需要一个与institution“机构”相对应的名词，很可能是“个人”。拼写时注意不要漏了词尾的s。该词为divid(e)加前后缀派生出来的单词，明白这一点就不容易写错了。
43. 答案：originally
解析：此处需要一个副词来修饰后面的动词placed。拼写时注意有两个l。
44. 标准答案：he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money
听音关键：sells, shares, to some other saver, seeking to invest
答案重构：he sells his shares through a stockbroker to other people who are also trying to make money
画龙点睛：注意原文中who引导的定语从句里的谓语动词为is，所以前面some other修饰的名词就不可以是复数形式。改写后的people为复数，所以定语从句里的谓语动词要相应改写为are。
45. 标准答案：All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly
听音关键：require, spending, new equipment, development, serve, properly
答案重构：We need to spend more money on new equipment and development if we are to get proper services
画龙点睛：注意原文主句和从句的主语均为复数形式，所以谓语动词也应为复数形式。改写后的句子将主语换成了we，仍为复数形式，所以谓语动词不需要发生改变。另外，根据下文可判断出spend的对象应为more money。
46. 标准答案：frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange
听音关键：frequently, borrow, finance major capital spending, too, the Stock Exchange
答案重构：often have to borrow money to support government spending and they also turn to the stock market for help
画龙点睛：原文中too作为插入成分，应用逗号与句子前后隔开。另外，the Stock Exchange（股票交易所）为专有名词，首字母应大写，前文中出现过，可以作为参考。
