答案解析

答案解析：

36. 答案：lists
解析：此处需要一个第三人称单数形式的动词作谓语，注意词尾的s不要漏掉。
37. 答案：decrease
解析：seemed to后需加原形动词；由该句的However和下一句的serious issue可猜测此处应表示油价从没“下降”，注意ea的拼写。
38. 答案：complaining
解析：此处been后面需要一个现在分词与about搭配。complain about意思是“抱怨……”，注意不要漏写-ing。
39. 答案：means
解析：由前面的one of可推知此处需要复数名词。means表示“方法”之义时，单复数同形，注意不要遗漏词尾的s。
40. 答案：scientific
解析：此处需要一个形容词，拼写时注意ie。
41. 答案：sail
解析：此处需要原形动词与前面的drive，take并列，注意不要错拼成发音相似的名词sale。
42. 答案：normally
解析：此处需要副词，用于修饰其前面的动词function；根据上下文可猜测，当汽油用完了，一切几乎很难“正常”运转。注意要双写l。
43. 答案：funds
解析：此处需要一个名词作provide的宾语，注意最后要加s。
44. 标准答案：able to drive solar-powered cars since it is extremely sunny most of the time
听音关键：able, solar-powered cars, extremely sunny, most
答案重构：able to run cars with solar power because it is always very sunny
画龙点睛：此句的关键表达是solar-powered，要抓住这个核心概念。
45. 标准答案：Who knows what forms of new energy people will be using in the future
听音关键：knows, forms, new energy, be using, future
答案重构：Who knows what kinds of new energy is going to be used in the future
画龙点睛：此句没有难词，应尽量考虑照搬原词。句子开头首字母要大写。
46. 标准答案：we need these challenges to motivate us to achieve great things
听音关键：need, challenges, motivate, achieve great things
答案重构：these problems can motivate us to get the solutions and great achievement
画龙点睛：原文中的challenges与上文的problems可互换；抓住need sth. to do sth.以及motivate to do sth.这两个短语，整个句子的结构就清晰了。
