答案解析

答案解析：

36. 答案：illiterates
解析：此处需要名词作宾语，拼写时注意开头要双写l以及结尾要加s。
37. 答案：campaign
解析：此处需要一个单数名词作为全句的主语，拼写要注意aig，不要漏掉g。
38. 答案：launched
解析：由前面的has been可知此处需要用过去分词，launch意为“发起”，注意结尾要加ed。
39. 答案：designated
解析：该句时态也为现在完成时被动语态，所填动词结尾要加ed。designate表示“指定”。
40. 答案：message
解析：由后面的is可知此处需要单数或抽象名词作为全句主语，拼写注意要双写s。
41. 答案：individual
解析：注意结尾的dual不要拼错。
42. 答案：developing
解析：现在分词作定语。developing country意为“发展中国家”，若是“发达国家”则该用developed country。
43. 答案：ashamed
解析：too...to的句型，too后面应该加形容词，拼写时注意结尾有ed。ashamed表示“感到羞耻的，难为情的”。
44. 标准答案：Therefore, they are unable to go to classes to change the situation
听音关键：therefore, unable, go to classes, change, situation
答案重构：So they can't go to classes to change the situation
画龙点睛：此句原文比较简单，应优先考虑尽量“原词照搬”。若改写，可根据情况将are unable to用can't替换，更为简洁。
45. 标准答案：Women make up 60 per cent of the world's adult illiterates
听音关键：women, 60 percent, world's, adult illiterates
答案重构：60 percent of the world's adult illiterates are women.
画龙点睛：重点抓住make up，该词组有“形成，组成，构成”的意思。另外，听写时有出现数字，后面跟着的量词percent也应加以重视。
46. 标准答案：But one of the biggest tasks now facing international organizations is how to persuade millions of illiterates
听音关键：biggest tasks, facing, international organizations, persuade, millions of illiterates
答案重构：However, one of the biggest tasks international organizations need to deal with is how to convince millions of illiterates
画龙点睛：原文中的facing，指的是international organizations需要面对的，即其需要解决的，可考虑用need to deal with代替。persuade在此处是“说服，使信服”的意思，结合下文，可用convince替换。
