答案解析

答案解析：
36. poverty
解析：poverty n.贫穷，贫困，贫乏，缺少。不要漏写r。
37. award
解析：不定冠词后一定要用名词。不要和reward（n.报酬，奖金）混淆。
38. goal
解析：物主代词后面一定是名词。不要误听成girl或go。
39. assistants
解析：不要漏掉表复数的s。
40. organize
解析：注意区别：be used to do sth.被用来做某事；used to do sth.过去常常做某事；be (get) used to doing sth.习惯于做某事。
41. documents
解析：别忘记在document后加s。
42. villages
解析：同样别忘记在village后加s。注意i和a的位置及双写l。

44. 标准答案：People who get tested must enter a secret identification code to see the results
听音关键：People, tested, enter a secret identification code, to see the results
答案重构：1) People tested must enter a secret ID code to see the results
2) People tested cannot see the results unless they enter a secret ID code
画龙点睛：who get tested作people的定语，可以简化为过去分词定语。enter a secret identification code稍有难度，若熟悉电脑操作及相关指令，应明白其含义，可以改为：need a secret ID number。
45. 标准答案：it is important to get patients involved in their own health care by helping them gain information
听音关键：important, to get patients involved, health care, help them gain information
答案重构：1) we must make patients fully informed so that they can be involved in their own health care
2) it is vital that patients gain information and get involved in their own health care
画龙点睛：句子结构it is important to...比较简单，get...involved in是一个常用短语，their own health care是本文的主题（第1句就有），by后面的方式状语也没有复杂单词。总之，本句宜尽量照搬原文。当然，也可以换一种方式表达，比如用主语从句（从句中须用should do虚拟语气）。
46. 标准答案：there are endless possible uses for this technology, especially in developing countries
听音关键：endless possible uses for this technology, developing countries
答案重构：this technology may be used widely, especially in developing countries
画龙点睛：there be句型。endless possible uses都是常见词，不难拼写。可能technology和especially稍难，容易写错。
