Exercise Thirty-Six
1. Being out of work and having two young children， ______________（夫妻俩发现勉强维持生计是不可能的）.
2. Generally speaking，______________（按照说明服用时），the drug has no side effect.
3. Some people argue that most crime ______________（可归咎于对金钱的贪婪）.
4. ______________（发现很难适应那里的气候），he decided to move back to the north.
5. Over a third of the population was estimated _____________（没有机会享受医疗保健服务）. 答案解析：
1. the couple found it impossible to make ends meet
解析：本题考查对常见句型find it＋adj.＋to do sth.及短语make ends meet的掌握。Find it impossible to do sth.意为"发现......是不可能的"，it是形式宾语，impossible为宾语补足语，动词不定式是真正的宾语。短语make ends meet是"使收支相抵，勉强维持生计"之意。
2. when taken according to the direction/instruction
解析：本题考查对分词短语作状语及词组according to的掌握。本句中分词短语作状语表示条件，相当于if the drug is taken...，分词的逻辑主语the drug与take之间是被动关系，所以应用过去分词短语作状语。词组according to意为"依照、按照"。
3． can be attributed to the greed for money
解析：本题考查对短语attribute to及常见搭配the greed for的掌握。attribute to意为"归咎于"，可表示"归功于"，也可表示"归咎于"，crime与attribute是动宾关系，因此谓语要用被动语态（can be attributed to）。"对......的贪婪"用the greed for...表示。
4． Finding it difficult to adapt to the climate there
解析：本题考查分词短语作状语及短语adapt to的用法。句子主语he与动词"发现"是主谓关系，故应用现在分词短语作状语表示原因。常见句型find it difficult to do sth.表示"发现很难做某事"，短语adapt to意为"适应"。
5． to have no access to the health service
解析：本题考查对不定式和have (no) access to固定搭配的掌握。空格处在句中作主语补足语，不定式变成被动语态以后，都必须加上to。have (no) access to为固定搭配，表示"(没)有接近(或进入、享用)的机会"。
