答案解析

答案解析：
36. interview
解析：不定式to后面加原形动词。interview意为“对……进行面试”。
37. required
解析：此处是动词的过去分词作定语，修饰后面的名词，不要漏写结尾的ed。
38. place
解析：此处是名词位于形容词后，作表语。
39. retirements
解析：与前面的growth和后面的turnover属于并列关系，此处也需要名词，拼写时记得最后还有个表复数形式的s。
40. openings
解析：由前面修饰的词组thousands of可知此处需复数名词，opening表示“空缺”之义，不要漏写结尾的s。
41. illustrate
解析：此处应采用一般现在时，由于主语是复数名词，因此该词是原形动词。illustrate在此意为“说明”。拼写时注意中间有两个l。
42. correspond
解析：情态动词may后面，应是原形动词，该词与with搭配。correspond with在此处意为“与……一致。”拼写时注意中间有两个r。
43. contact
解析：词组have to后面接原形动词；根据上下文，该词很可能表示联系之义。
44. 标准答案：Their salaries are usually competitive and the chances for advancement are even stronger than those of a big firm
听音关键：salaries, competitive, chances for advancement, stronger than, big firm
答案重构：Their salaries are usually good and you will have stronger chances for advancement in these little companies
画龙点睛：此句听写只要抓住两层意思：小公司薪水也好而且晋升机会较大，按照听到的关键词把意思表达完整即可。
45. 标准答案：if you had climbed the more competitive ladder of a corporate giant
听音关键：had climbed, more competitive ladder, corporate giant
答案重构：if you had climbed the more competitive ladder of a big company
画龙点睛：此句采用了虚拟语气，故从句要用过去完成时。结尾的a corporate giant，可用意思类似的a big company替换，单词简单，也避免拼错。
46. 标准答案：In large firms it may take years to reach that level and accumulate similar experience
听音关键：large firms, take years, reach that level, accumulate, similar experience
答案重构：In big companies, if you want to be in that position and get similar experience, you may spend years of time
画龙点睛：原句是用it作形式主语，可根据句子含义，转换一下主语，换一种表达。
