39. 答案：cousins
解析：根据上下文可知此处需要表示亲戚关系的复数名词。
40. 答案：determining
解析：根据并列结构中and前的selecting可知此处是个-ing分词，即使听不清，也要补上-ing。

44. 标准答案：this larger group provides better protection in times of economic crises or other emergencies
听音关键：large group, better protection, in crises/emergencies
答案重构：1 this large group provides better protection in case of economic crises or other emergencies
2 the extended group provides better protection when facing economic crises or other emergencies
画龙点睛：此句注意两处比较级、主谓一致、crisis的复数形式
crises;emergencies不要漏掉i。此处的larger group就是前文提到的extended group。
45. 标准答案：This term refers to a husband and wife united through marriage and their dependent children, whether natural or adopted
听音关键：term, husband, wife, their dependent children, natural or
adopted
答案重构：A nuclear family involves a husband and wife and their natural
or adopted children, who depend on them
画龙点睛：这句话是在解释前面的术语，注意下定义的常用短语refer to。若照原文听写，united为过去分词作后置定语，不可漏掉d;whether natural or adopted补充说
明孩子的身份。改写的目的往往是为了避免照搬复杂原文时出错，如果能够保证不出错，
其实不一定非要改写。
46. 标准答案：The small family, with one or perhaps two incomes, is better able to adapt to rapid change and to move when jobs move
听音关键：small family, two incomes, better, adapt to rapid change, move
答案重构：With one or two incomes, it's easier for the small family to adapt to rapid change and job transfer
画龙点睛：先抓主系表，再补充with短语表达的信息。注意比较结构、be able to
后面两个并列动词adapt, move。掌握with短语作定语，对于听力和写作都有帮助。

Passage Three
When you take a walk in any of the cities in theWest, you often see a lot
of people walking dogs. Itis still true that a dog is the most useful and faithfulanimal in the world, but the reasons why people keepa dog have changed.
[32]In the old days people usedto train dogs to protect themselves against attacksby other beasts. And later they came to realize that[33]a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example,when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was caught withoutpermission. But now people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks ofanimals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs
to protect themselves fromrobbery. [34]But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his bestfriend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when theyhave no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grownup. So the main reason why people keep dogs has [35]changed from
protection to friendship.
