Summer in the city sees the streets packed with people.

本题难度较低

• 语言上
• packed with 充满；塞满
  e.g. The suitcase was packed with clothes for the trip.
• see 见证（发生的时间、地点）
  e.g. Last year saw the transformation of this city.
• 表述上
  Summer in the city sees the streets packed with people.
  表述比较清楚，summer + in连读的时候会有一个/rin/的音。
  译文
  城市里的夏天，街道上人满为患。

And it wasn't until Friends took off that I started seeing myself in a different light.

本题难度适中

• 语言上
• it wasn't until... that... 直到...才...
  e.g. It wasn't until 1920 that women got the right to vote in the U.S.
• take off 变得受欢迎或者成功
  e.g. His business really took off after he started selling online.
• see oneself in a different light 以不同的角度看待自己
  e.g. After the seminar, I started to see myself in a different light and realised that I have untapped potential.
• 表述上
  And it wasn't until Friends took off that I started seeing myself in a different light.
  “wasn't until”读的时候，“wasn't”后面的“n”和“until”的“u”会连起来读，接近/wʌznʌnˈtɪl/
  译文
  直到"老友记"走红，我才开始以不同的方式看待自己。

In cases of prolonged silence during a crisis, we cannot learn. With this in mind, we'd like to draw a comparison to another profession that has similar standards for little or no error.

【句子分析】
In cases of prolonged silence during a crisis, we cannot learn. With this in mind, we'd like to draw a comparison to another profession that has similar standards for little or no error.

• 下划线：连读
• 删除线：不发音
• 灰色字体：弱读
  【解析】
• 这句话整体来说是一个很标准的高阶句子，有两处有难度的点。1. that has的连读，that非常弱，/t/和has也有连读；2. error在发音的时候，第一个/r/的音并没有常规的发成“若”，而是/r/，所以整个单词的发音不是eruo，而是err。
• ·prolonged 长期的；来自于prolong v. 延长，prolonged adj. prolonged silence 长时间的沉默
  e.g. The prolonged drought has caused serious water shortages.
• ·comparison 比较（compare v. 比较）
  e.g. Drawing a comparison between the two systems reveals some interesting differences.
• standards for little or no error. 容错率较低
  【参考译文】
  在危机中长时间沉默的情况下，我们无法学到这些教训。考虑到这一点，我们想要和另一个对错误容忍极低或无容错的职业进行比较。
