【正确答案】
【答案解析】[听力原文] The real problem with pollution is people —/the way people think about their environment and their relationship with it./We are all reluctant to accept the fact that our natural resources are fixed —/fixed, in fact, since the earth was created, /We want to go on using virgin materials./We are not educated on reusing resources,/or even placing a value on "waste" products./We are a crisis society./Currently, we are fearful of losing the use of our water and air to pollution./In one context, it is probably a good thing/that we are so concerned because now we will begin/to adjust our thinking on the values of natural resources./we once thought of water and air as free./They are not, not any more than the land is free./People have not wanted to be educated on the part/they must play in solving our environment problems. / [难点解析] 本文的第一句如果不仔细就容易把破折号写成逗号,犯语法错误中的comma mistake,应该注意停顿前后的两个部分都是成分完整的句子,不可能用逗号连接。第二句也是破折号问题,试想,如果两个fixed之间是逗号,本句就接连有三个逗号出现了,这是不正常的,因而可以想到代之以破折号。突破这两个难点之后,听写就可以顺利进行了。
