答案解析：

36. 答案：identical⁵

解析：根据预读可知此处的意思为“相同的”，可与to搭配，注意词尾的拼写cal。

37. 答案：typical

解析：此处的意思为“典型的”，拼写要注意y和cal。

38. 答案：relatively⁶

解析：此处需要副词修饰形容词slow，拼写要注意e和a。

39. 答案：boring

解析：此处需要形容词描述job，应该用-ing形式，而非-ed形式，也有考生误写成了bring，理解句子所缺成分就不会误写它了。

40. 答案：describe

解析：此处需要动词原形，注意拼写的第一个e不要错写成i。

41. 答案：variety

解析：此处的意思为“多样性”，由动词vary派生出的名词variety，拼写时不要漏写e。

42. 答案：normal

解析：此处需要形容词修饰名词clothes，拼写时不要漏写r。

43. 答案：uniform

解析：此处的意思是“警服”，字母组合or不要写错。

44. 标准答案：seven bad men jumped out at me; one of them had a knife and we got into a fight

听音关键：bad men, jumped out, knife, fight

答案重构：several bad guys jumped out at me, one of them held a knife and we began to fight

画龙点睛：听不清楚准确数字seven可以写成概数several（但此题可根据下文得出准确的数字3+4=7）。注意句子要用过去时态。

45. 标准答案：She was trying to get to the hospital, but there was a bad traffic jam

听音关键：try, hospital, bad traffic

答案重构：She was on her way to the hospital, but there was bad traffic/the traffic was heavy

画龙点睛：注意jam是可数名词，不要漏了前面的a；而traffic是不可数名词，不能与a连用。

46. 标准答案：But fortunately, the baby waited to "arrive" until we got to the hospital

听音关键：fortunately, arrive, until, hospital

答案重构：Fortunately enough, the baby didn't "arrive" until we got to the hospital

画龙点睛：fortunately要正确拼写，该词及其否定形式unfortunately在听力和阅读中经常出现，之后的信息很重要。
