44. 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：People who get tested must enter a secret identification code to see theresults

聽音關(guān)鍵：People, tested, enter a secret identification code, to see the results

答案重構(gòu)：1) People tested must enter a secret ID code to see the results

2) People tested cannot see the results unless they enter a secret ID code

畫龍點(diǎn)睛：who get tested作people的定語(yǔ)，可以簡(jiǎn)化為過(guò)去分詞定語(yǔ)。enter a secret identificationcode稍有難度，若熟悉電腦操作及相關(guān)指令，應(yīng)明白其含義，可以改為：need a secret ID number。

45. 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：it is important to get patients involved in their own health care by helpingthem gain information

聽音關(guān)鍵：important, to get patients involved, health care, help them gain information

答案重構(gòu)：1) we must make patients fully informed so that they can be involved in their ownhealth care

2) it is vital that patients gain information and get involved in their own health care

畫龍點(diǎn)睛：句子結(jié)構(gòu)it is important to...比較簡(jiǎn)單，get...involved in是一個(gè)常用短語(yǔ)，their own healthcare是本文的主題(第1句就有)，by后面的方式狀語(yǔ)也沒(méi)有復(fù)雜單詞?？傊揪湟吮M量照搬原文。當(dāng)然，也可以換一種方式表達(dá)，比如用主語(yǔ)從句(從句中須用should do虛擬語(yǔ)氣)。

46. 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：there are endless possible uses for this technology, especially indeveloping countries

聽音關(guān)鍵：endless possible uses for this technology, developing countries

答案重構(gòu)：this technology may be used widely, especially in developing countries

畫龍點(diǎn)睛：there be句型。endless possible uses都是常見(jiàn)詞，不難拼寫。可能technology和especially稍難，容易寫錯(cuò)。
