选词填空解题技巧
选词填空篇章长度
为
200
—
250
词,考查考生对篇章语境中的词汇理解和运用能力;要求考生阅读一
篇删去若干词汇
的短文,然后从所给的选项中选择正确的词汇填空,使短文复原。
(一)解题步骤
对于这种新题型,我们怎么应对呢?
时间分配:
7
分钟
= 25
–
< br>18
(
18
分钟留给
Section B
的两篇常规阅读,选词填空题要给出
< br>7
分钟)
通读全文是用较快速度,一行一行地读,目的是把握至少
90%
的文章内容。选词填空后面的选项词
义互不关联,词性也不同,
而且还有
5
个干扰项,切不可先看选项,乱了脑子。一定要先了
解文章大意,
带着文章脉络去找选项。所以,务必先沉着地把文章读一遍,尤其注意空格
前后的位置,为寻找正确选
项打下铺垫。
提醒:先居高临下,
花
5
秒钟把短
文各个自然段的段首扫一遍
。比如样题的各段是这样开头的:
When Roberto Feliz came to the
USA…
Then Mrs. Malave, a
bilingual educator, began to work with
him…
Today,
he is
a ________ doctor, run his own clinic…
Roberto’s story is just one of ________
success stories.
一眼就能看出短文的主
要内容:
Roberto
开始不行,随着时间的推移(
When
–
Then
–
Today
)后来
在别人帮助下成功(
success
stories
)了。心里有了底,再读文章就轻松多了。
提醒:
Banked cloze
的短
文(
text
)第一句是不允许出题的,它对全文起概括、提示
的作用。所以,一
定要认真看懂第一句。
第二步:整理选项
(1
分钟
)
这一步,公认的做法是先标出
15
个选项的词性。目前四级考试
只考实词中的四种:
名词
做主语和宾
语
,
动词
做谓语,
形容词
做定语,
副词
做状语。不考代词和数词;也不考虚词(
冠词,介词,连词,感
叹词)
四种实
词中,考得最少是副词,不超过两个空。剩下的三种平均每次有三道题。研究样题和真题后
发现,动词一直是考三个。另外三种词性,有两个,也有四个。
标词性时的切入点是后缀,
也就是词尾。
以
ion, age, ness, ty, ship,
ace, ance, ancy, ence, ency, dom, itude,
um, mony
结尾的大都是名词;
以
ize, ise,
fy
结尾的大都是动词;以
ive, ent, ant,
ful, ous, able, ary, ic, cal,
less
结尾的是大都是形容词;以
ly, s, ways, wise
结尾的大都是副词。
这里有
两个问题
:
一、有的词做名词和做动词都很常见,没有上下文不好
判断,这时两个都要标出来,先标你脑子里
第一个出现的词性。
二、以
ing, ed
结尾的词既可能是动词,也可能是分词转变而来的形容词。

调动语法知识,先确定单词的词性
,再去词表中找同一词类的选项,挑出正确答案。
动词的确定
:
动词最容易确定,因为一个句子没有动词就等于没有谓语,是很明显的缺陷。
名词的确定:
1
.冠词
a, an, the
的后面。
2
.介词
in, on,
from
?的后面。
3
.
形容词
(包括指示形容词
demonstrative adject
ives
或称限定词
determiners
< br>,
如
this, that, these,
those
)
的后面。
形容词的确定:
名词的前面。
副词的确定:
1
.动词的附近(指前面或后面)
。真题:?
jobs that used to be done primarily by
women
?
2
.形容词的前面。真题:?
but
they are still not completely sure what leads to
it
?
3
.句子的前面。如:
Not
surprisingly, the jury found them both guilty.
上面谈
的是根据语法确定词性,现在谈谈根据上下文确定词义。默念这句话:
“
答案就在周围
!
”如
果你留心
的话,空白附近的暗示无处不在。
真题举例:

.根据上下文
的衔接,基本语法知识,固定搭配,词义感情色彩进行答题。
47)
根据基本语法常识判断,在该空前有一个冠词
―a‖
,说明该空应填一个名词,而且进一步推断,
一
定为可数名词并且是单数名词,然后我们就从刚才词性归类后的名词中寻找答案。由此可以进一步缩
小范围,由
15
选
1
变成了
4
选
1
。根据上下文还可以看到,上一句提到
Roberto
Feliz
只知道一些英语单
词,而该空后面一句的
意思是他说我不理解任何事情,由此可以判断出
47
空的名词感
情色彩应该为负面
或者说为贬义,由此缩小了包围圈,在这
4<
/p>
个名词中,贬义的只有
E)
nightmare
,因此我们锁定答案。
总结:该题目的考查重点为词性分
类以及对上下文感情色彩的判断。
48)
首先根据语法常识判断,
该空
所填词的词性应该为动词,
细心的同学很快可以发现,
在这个空
后
出现了
and
,表明这是一个平行结
构,这个发现对于解这个题目非常重要,根据
and
前后的动词
判断,此
处也应该填动词的过去时,我们再进一步判断,该空后面句子的意思为“他回到
家后就哭,而且想着辍
学”
,由此我们判断这个地方所填的动词
的感情色彩也为贬义的,与该句后面并列结构的感情色彩一致,
我们不难判断该空该填<
/p>
I) hid
。
总结:该题目的考查重点为平行结
构以及句子所表达的感情色彩。
49)
根据基本语法常识来判断,该空所填的词应该是修饰<
/p>
Spanish
,所以我们判断该空应该填一个形
容词,从词性这个角度缩小了范围。接着,我们来看上下文的含义。上文提到
M
rs. Malave
是一位双语教
师。从这里我们可以看出,
49
空前有个
in
这个词,这是一个信号词:表示当这位双语老师在教数学和科
学的时候用某种语言。
再根据句意判断,我们不难得出答案,应该填
F)
native
。
总结:该题重点考查上下文的理解以及词性判断。
50
)根
据语法常识判断,该空应该填一个动词,与
confidence
构成动宾搭配。此外,还有三个地方
的提示。首先是
give
n
的理解,
Given
放句首,后跟名
词或从句,然后再跟主句是固定句型。
given
充当
介词使用,表示假设、假定等意思。该句的意思为“假定给他一个展示他能力的机会的话”
;其次是对于
“
a
nd
”的准确理解,
and
表示一个并
列平行结构,后半句的意思是“在学校开始取得成功”通过这句可
以表明前半句的感情色
彩也应该是褒义的;最后,就是根据上下文意思的衔接来判断,文章第一段说到
对于英语
他几乎不懂,在校躲着老师,在家经常哭泣,总想辍学,语言对于他来说是一场噩梦,由此可
以判断他对学习英语失去了信心,而本句的后半句说他开始在学校取得成功,很明显这是重拾信心的表
现。综上,我们得出该空的答案为
D)
regained
。
总结:该题考查的重点为词性判断,上下文的理解,以及固定
搭配。

)根据语法判断,我们很容易断定这个空应该填一个形容词来修

题的关键还有一个小词,
就是

这个词,
这个词出现就说明文中隐含着时间对比的考点,
对解
题有间
接的提示作用,对于这种小词的准确含义的理解,考生绝对不能忽视。除了这个线
索之外,在这个空的
后面句子的意思为“他开了自己的诊所,而且在许多家医院工作”这
足以说明他在事业上的成功。感情
色彩为褒义色彩。再根据与
d

)
根据
语法知识判断,
该空所填的应该是一个动词。
此外,
考生可以发现所填的动词是与
academic
skills
构成动宾搭配。
很明显,
根据句意:
他用通过双语教学所学到的语言和获得的技能来治疗他的病人。
很快判断出该空应该填
B)
acquired
。
总结:本题所考查的重点是词性判
断,特别是考生对固定搭配的掌握。
53
)该空所填的应该是一个形容词
修饰
stories
,又根据
one
of
的意思来判断,
Ro

只不过

事中的一个,所以我们可以锁定答案
L)
countless
。
总结:本题重点考查词性判断,特别是上下文意思的理解。
54<
/p>
)本题的解题关键有两个。首先是根据语法常识来判断词性,该空应该填形容词来修饰
p>
way
。其
次根据整句话的意思来判断:本
句的意思为“研究表明双语教学对于教孩子英语以及保证他们在学术上
取得成功是一种(
)的方法”
。本段开头正好讲了
Roberto’
s
< br>story
成功的例子,双语教学给
Roberto
p>
带
来了成功。因此我们可以判断这个地方所填的形容词应该是褒义的
,不难得出结论
H)
effective
。
总结:本题除了继续考查词性判断
外,更重要的是考查对上下文感情色彩的整体把握。
55
)根据语法常识判断,此处该填
一个副词来修饰动词
outperform
。又根据句子的意思
,很容易判断
出应该填
C) consistently
(持续地,一直地)
。
总结:本题考查的重点是词性判断以及句意理解。难度较小。
56
)
根据
语法常识可以判断,
本空应该填一个名词来与
rates
来搭配,
构成词组。
上文中出现了
dropout
rates
(辍学率)
,而本句又使用了比较级的手法,由此判断为比较考点。通过常识判断,这里肯定填
G)
acceptance
,与
< br>rates
构成词组
acceptance rate<
/p>
(入学率)
,与前面所提到的
dropo
ut
rates
(辍学率)构成对
比。
总结:本题特别考查了上下文的衔接关系。

Do you drink soda drinks? How often do
you drink it? When I was young, I was an
avid
(
热衷的
) drinker
of
Coca-Cola and other soft drinks. Actually, I was
pretty much a coke
36
. I could never get past a day
without drinking Coca-Cola. It was
37
for
me to have days when I would finish almost a whole
1.5 liter
coke bottle every day.
As I grew up, I became more
38
of the
importance to be healthy. I started to relook into
my diet,
including
my
essential
drink
of
coke
and
soda.
Over
time,
I
realized
coke
is
actually
quite
39
to
our
health. Coke and soft
drinks contain caffeine, which is a psychoactive
stimulant
drug. It can affect the
central

and

function,
resulting
in
temporary
changes
in
perception,
mood,
consciousness and
behavior
—
so much so that I
41
why
it even became such an

(

drink!
In
my
42
for
a
healthier
life,
I
made
the
decision
to
quit
drinking
coke
at
18.
I
started
to
slowly
43
Coca-Cola and
soda drinks. When I reached my early 20s, they
were almost
44
out
of
my
diet.
In
the
rare
occasions
where
I
do
drink
it,
I
would
find
the
taste
excessively
sweet,
acidic
and
unpalatable
(unpleasant
to
taste).
When
I
look
back,
it
was
45
for
me
to
even

Are you a
compulsive
(
不由自主的
) spender, or do you
hold on to your money as long as possible? Are you
a bargain hunter? Would you rather use
charge accounts than pay cash? Your
answers to these questions will
36
your
personality.
According
to
psychologists,
our
individual
money
habits
not
only
show
our
37
and
values, but can also
38
from past problems.
Experts
in
psychology
believe
that
for
many
people,
money
is
an
important
symbol
of
strength
and
39
. Many people consider
money a symbol of love. They spend it on their
family and friends to express love,
or
they buy themselves expensive presents because
they need love.
People can
40
themselves to
different things
—
for
example, alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even
television.
People
who
have
such
an
addiction
are
compulsive.
According
to
psychologists,
many
people
are
compulsive spenders; they feel that
they must spend money. This compulsion, like most
others, is irrational
—
impossible to explain
41
. For compulsive spenders
who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more
exciting
than
money.
Their
pleasure
in
42
amounts
is
actually
greater
than
the
pleasure
that
they
get
from the
things they buy.
There is even a
43
psychology of
bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most
people look for
sales, low prices, and
44
. Compulsive bargain
hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t
need just
because they are
45
. They believe they help
their budgets, but they are really playing an
exciting game:
when they can buy
something for less than other people, they feel
that they win.

Modern women are unhappy. A couple of
U.S. studies say so, reports the San Francisco
Chronicle, so it
must be true: ―Since
1972 women’s self
-described levels of
happiness have
36
a few percentage points
and
now rest below that of men in every age
37
.
‖
Leaving aside the question of how you
self-describe happiness, which sounds painful, we
need to ask why
women are
38
. It’s the classic
whinge
(
抱怨
) list: having battles
for
39
with men, they’ve won
the
right to a demanding career but they haven't
stopped feeling
40
responsible for feeding and
clothing
the kids. They never have
enough time; they feel
41
because they’ve spending
le
ss time with the kids
and
the husband
—
it s all too
familiar.
The problem, say academics,
is that we’ve now got too much of choice and that
42
paralysis
(
麻
搏
). ―Whatever
salad dressing you
43
,
it won’t be perfect and
you end up thinking about t
he ones you
didn’t buy,‖ says Barry Schwartz, the
author of The Paradox of Choice
: Why
More Is Less.
That
44
has become a
mantra
(
口头禅

good folk of Nigeria might tell us. A
World
Values
Survey
of
65
countries
found
that
the

people don’t spend

as we do in the Western world.

It’s never easy to admit you are in the
wrong. Being humans, we all need to know the art
of apologizing.
Look back with honesty
and
think how often you’ve judged
36
, said unkind
things, and pushed yourself
ahead at
the expense of a friend. Then count the
37
when you indicated clearly and truly
that you were
sorry. A bit frightening,
isn’t it? Frightening because some deep
w
isdom in us knows that when even a
small
wrong has been
38
, some mysterious moral
feeling is disturbed, and it stays out of balance
until
39
is acknowledged
and regret is expressed.
I
remember
a
doctor
friend,
telling
me
about
a
man
who
came
to
him
with
40
signs:
headaches,
insomnia
(
失眠
) and stomach trouble. No
physical cause could be found. My friend said to
the man eventually,
―Unless you tell me
what’s worrying you, I can’t help you.‖
After some
41
, the man confessed that, as executor
of his father’s will, he had been
cheating
his
brother, who
lived abroad, of his
42
.
Then and there my wise friend made the man write
to his brother
asking for forgiveness
and
enclosing a cheque as the first
step in
43
their good relation. He then went
with him to mail box in the corridor.
As the letter disap
peared, the man
burst into tears. ―Thank you,‖ He said, ―I
think I’m cured.‖ And he was. A
45
apology can not only heal a damaged
relationship but also make it
stronger.
If
you
can
think
of
someone
45
an
apology
from
you,
someone
you
have
wronged,
or
just
neglected, do something about it right
now.

The global crisis in education is a
silent, invisible crisis, perhaps because those
most immediately affected
—
the world’s poorest and most vulnerable
children and their parents —
have a
weak voice. But it is at our own
36
that we ignore
the overwhelming evidence that disadvantage in
education costs lives,
37
economic
growth,
fuels
youth
unemployment,
and
reinforces
national
and
global
inequalities.
The
bottom
line
is
that
education
holds
the
key
to
the
development
of
more
38
economies,
greater
social
mobility,
and
poverty
reduction. Education is the key that
39
human potential and
prepares future generations to participate in an
40
knowledge-based global
economy.
We merely have to look at the
numbers to
41
the scale of the crisis. There are 68
million primary
school age children out
of school
—
and global
progress towards universal primary education has
slowed since
2005. If current
42
continue, the out-of-school population
could increase to 72 million by 2015. Another
71 million adolescents are out of
school, many of them lacking a basic education.
And while governments across
the world
are concerned about the quality of education, the
evidence on learning achievement levels in many of
the poorest countries is profoundly
43
.
Less than three years from the 2015
target date, the world is not on
43
to achieve the
Millennium
Development
Goal
(MDG)
of
decent
quality
universal
primary
education.
The
45
responsibility
for
changing
this
picture
and
delivering
on
the

of
education
for
all
rests

More young Americans have become better
educated. This reflects a
36
in the labor market, which

has
increasingly
rewarded
post-secondary
education.
At
the
same
time,
the
economy
has
seen
a
decrease
in
well-
paid
manual
labor
that
required
skills
learned
on
the
job
or
in
trade
schools.
The
shift
to
a
more
service-
oriented economy means universities and colleges
have
37
trade schools
and apprenticeships.
On the one hand
that is good because it makes the American labor
force better educated. Theoretically, it
should also increase
meritocracy
(
精英教育
). Much of the income
38
in
America can be explained by
the
earning
differential
between
college
and
non-college
graduates. As
more
people
attend
university,
income
differences
should
be
reduced.
But
as
university
education
becomes
more
widely
39
,
should
curricula
change?
Between
labor-market
demand
and
innate
ability,
probably
only
a
fraction
of
the
population
benefit
40
from doing so.
On the other hand, America
41
from title
inflation. A university degree is now a
prerequisite
(
必要
条件
) to middle-
class membership. Rather than just being
42
of
education, it is also an expensive and
time-consuming
signal.
The
high
rate
of
entrance
examination
masks
a
grave
problem.
Dropping
out
of
university is at
43
levels,
especially among low-income Americans. Starting
but not finishing a degree
44
in
a
considerable
loss
of
time
and
money.
Many
poor
students
drop
out
not
just
because
of
cost,
but
because
they
find
themselves
unprepared
and
frustrated.
Offering
more
practical
degrees
could
be
part
of
the
solution
to this problem, though it is not a
45
solution.

Comparat

studies
mislead
us
because
analysts
define
―economic
mobility‖
as
the
degree
to
which
people’s
income
36
from their parents’. The wider the
difference is, the greater a country’s mobility
is.
But the American economy especially
rewards certain
37
—
persistence, hard work,
love of education
—
that tend to be passed from parents to
children. Technically that implies low mobility,
compared with Europe.
But immigrants
see it as
fostering
(
孕育
) opportunity. That’s why
Europeans keep coming here.
Still, we are slipping,
38
for those
starting out at the bottom.
For a Pew
Foundation project on economic mobility, my
Heritage colleagues and I identified three crucial
―leading
indicators‖
f
or
upward
movement.
One
is
accumulating
savings.
Our
problem
is
a
lack
of
personal
savings among
lower-income Americans when compared with
39
house-holds in, say, Asia. Policies
like
ending the double taxation of
savings would help. But we also need a
40
shift in
attitudes to savings:
Asian- Americans
have a lot to teach the rest of us.
Second,
family
breakdown
has
41
economic
progress
for
those
on
the
bottom
rings.
Improving
program
incentives
(
激励措施
) and
42
may help
counteract
(
抵消
) this. But it takes a
village to sustain
the
ladder
of opportunity.
That’s
why
projects
like
the
Harlem
Children’s
Zone
are
critical.
This
organization
links charter
schools, parenting workshops and other efforts
that
43
a
community-wide culture of upward
mobility.

So yes. We need to take

For
some
educators,
there
is
nothing
wrong
with
fun
and
games.
A
group
called
the
Education Arcade
recently
held
a
conference
in
Los
Angeles
to
discuss
the
future
of
36
games.
The
Education
Arcade
brings together
international game designers, publishers, teachers
and policymakers. They say they want to lead
37
in
the way the world learns through computer and
video games.
The
38
was part of
E-three, the Electronic Entertainment Exposition.
This is a yearly trade
39
where companies show off
new games and educational products.
The
Education Arcade started at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, near Boston. Professors
worked
with
the
Microsoft
company
create
what
they
called
the
Games-
to-Teach
Project.
The
group
began
to
40
ways to use technology in teaching and
learning. They worked with game designers to
develop ideas about how
41
and
science
could
mix
with
game
playing.
The
Education
Arcade
is
the
research
part
of
this
Games-to-Teach Project.
The
group recently announced
that a ―Games
for Learning‖ statement will be
42
on some
products.
This should begin to appear
in American stores in about six months. The
43
is
to help people find games
that are fun
but will also teach. The Education Arcade says it
also wants to get businesses to produce more games
that teach.
Companies have
been creating systems like hand-held educational
44
made by LeapFrog. And new
educational
role-playing
games
are
being
developed.
M.I.T.
and
the
Colonial
Williamsburg
Foundation
in
Virginia
are
developing
a
game
called
―Revolution.‖
Players
will
get
to
experience
the
American
Revolution
