　　答案
　　36.【听音指导】根据空前后内容，可推测此空意为“归类成……”，轻易可以联想到常考词classified，构成be classified into结构。
　　37.【听音指导】事实性写作方式会提供什么样的信息，在预读时，很容易将其推测为形容词，但background是常见词，而background information作为背景知识，在日常生活中常常用到。
　　38.【听音指导】此空中的内容与book，long piece并列，可知此空填写的词为名词，且与book等为一类。album发音特殊，一般不会与其他词相混，应注意拼写。
　　39.【听音指导】由题意很容易判断此部分应为音乐鉴赏课，此空的难点在于appreciation (“鉴赏”)这个词的拼写。appreciate作动词，意为鉴赏，此空需要其名词形式。
　　40.【听音指导】为研究人文学科提供环境，其中context是高频词，几乎在每次考试中都能考到，此题不易失分。
　　41.【听音指导】此句话应理解为“正如名字所显示的那样”，立刻可以联系到show等词，而原文中的imply在以往四级考试中也反复出现。
　　42.【听音指导】描述性的写作能提供什么?立刻就想到形象、印象。image这个词很容易填出。
　　43.【听音指导】作曲家所用的音乐器具，自然为musical instrument。然而此空需要注意的是它的复数形式。
　　44.【听音指导】此段讲述的是descriptive writing，此句位于本段的最后一句，应为总结性话语。答案为Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature is often mixed with critical writing。particularly可替换为especially，be mixed with意为“与……混合”。也可写为Descriptive writing is mixed with critical writing，那么既保留了句子的大意，而且也能规避如particularly这样的长难词。采分点为descriptive writing和critical writing。
　　45.【听音指导】此段讲述的是processing writing，按照惯例此句为对其的总结性解释。shoot a film，意为拍电影。采分点为how to do something和 technique。
　　46.【听音指导】整篇文章为总分式，先总述了三种写作题材，然后分别讲述每种写作题材的适用范围。此空独立成句，很可能论述三部分适用范围的交集。采分点为more than one type of technique is used in writing。
　　原文
　　In the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways. These methods can be classified into three types of informational writing: factual, descriptive and process.
　　Factual writing provides background information on an author, composer or artist. or on a type of music, literature or art. Examples of factual writing include notes on a book jacket or album cover and longer pieces such as an article, describing a style of music which you might read in a musical appreciation course. This kind of writing provides a context for your study of the humanities. As its name implies, descriptive writing simply describes or provides an image of a piece of music, art or literature. For example, descriptive writing might list the colors an artist used in a painting or the instruments a composer included in a musical composition, so as　to make pictures or sound in a reader’s mind by calling up specific details of the work. Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature, it often mixed with critical writing. Process writing explains a series of actions that bring about the result. It tells the reader how to do something, for example, explaining the technique used to shoot a film. This kind of writing is often found in art where we understanding how an artist creates certain of fact is important. Authors may actually use more than one type of technique in a given piece of informational writing
