英語四級考試閱讀15選10深度解題方案
這篇選詞填空是2007年6月的四級考試真題,學生普遍反映很難,因為絕大多數(shù)的備選單詞都不認識,這也是這種題型成為中國學生最崩潰的題型的最本質(zhì)的和最無奈的原因,好廢話不多說,上題!
Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life. In particular, when older patients __47__ of pain, they were told it was a natural part of aging and they would have to learn to live with it.
Times have changed. Today, we take pain __48__. Indeed, pain is now considered the fifth vital sign, as important as blood pressure, temperature, breathing rate and pulse in __49__ a person’s well-being. We know that chronic (慢性的) pain can disrupt (擾亂) a person’s life, causing problems that __50__ from missed work to depression.
That’s why a growing number of hospitals now depend upon physicians who __51__ in pain medicine. Not only do we evaluate the cause of the pain, which can help us treat the pain better, but we also help provide comprehensive therapy for depression and other psychological and social __52__ related to chronic pain. Such comprehensive therapy often __53__ the work of social workers, psychiatrists (心理醫(yī)生) and psychologists, as well as specialists in pain medicine.
This modern __54__ for pain management has led to a wealth of innovative treatments which are more effective and with fewer side effects than ever before. Decades ago, there were only a __55__ number of drugs available, and many of them caused __56__ side effects in older people, including dizziness and fatigue. This created a double-edged sword: the medications helped relieve the pain but caused other problems that could be worse than the pain itself.

Step One
第一步是每位學生都要去做的,就是把15個單詞通過后綴進行詞性分類,但是通常我的習慣是遇到動詞進行二次分類:確定時態(tài),確定單三還是非單三;遇到名詞 確定單數(shù)還是復數(shù);我一直認為單詞不認識不應(yīng)該成為學生放棄選詞填空的原因,在做第一步之前我先把4級歷年真題選詞填空中出現(xiàn)頻率最高的后綴全部列舉出 來:
名詞后綴:tion/sion/ness/ment/er/or/ist/ism
形容詞后綴:able/al/ant/ent/tive/sive/ous/less/ed/ing
動詞后綴:ate/lize/ing/ed
副詞后綴:ly/ward/wise
在歷年真題中只要出現(xiàn)ly一定為副詞,這是頻率
好,我們開始分類:
名詞單數(shù):A)? result(結(jié)果) ? M)? respect(尊重)
可能的名詞復數(shù):F)?? issues? B) involves
動詞原形: O)? specialize? M) respect(尊重)
動詞進行時:I)? determining(決定,確定) ? N) prompting
動詞過去式:J) limited(限制) ? L) complained(抱怨)? E) relieved
可能的動詞單三:B) involves ? F) issues
形容詞:C) significant ? H)magnificent?? J)? limited(有限的)
副詞:G) seriously(嚴肅的) ? K)? gravely
不能確定的:D) range
Step Two
回到原文確定空內(nèi)應(yīng)填入的詞性、單復數(shù)形式、動詞時態(tài)以及其他語法現(xiàn)象。具體怎么操作,我會在接下來第三步解題的時候具體講解。
Step Three
具體分析,重點打擊,先易后難。怎么操作?我現(xiàn)在開始講解:
47題: when older patients __47__ of pain,前面是patients為復數(shù)名詞,后面是of,確定應(yīng)填入一個動詞;后半句為they were told告訴我們填入過去時動詞,滿足此題的單詞分別是:J) limited? L)complained? E)relieved,根據(jù)本句中的pain(痛苦),確定L)complained(抱怨)與pain(痛苦)的感情方向一致。
48題:前面是we take pain __48__,確定應(yīng)填入副詞來修飾take,滿足的單詞有 G)? seriously 嚴肅的? K)? gravely,由于是pain(痛苦),搭配嚴肅,如果這兩個單詞都不認識也是2猜1。
49題:in __49__ a person’s well-being. 我們知道,in后面跟兩種詞性,名詞或動名詞,比如spend time in doing sth, 所以滿足的單詞有 I)? determining決定,確定 N) prompting,2猜1
50題:causing problems that __50__ from missed work to depression.,由于有from---to---,所以填入動詞單配這兩個介詞,由于沒有任何特殊信息詞,本題填入一個動詞原形,由于前面是 problems這個復數(shù),所以排掉B)involves,滿足的只有? O)? specialize,D)range,兩個都不認識,先放著不管,待會再結(jié)合處理。
51題:now depend upon physicians who __51__ in pain medicine,后面是in,確定填動詞搭配in,前面是physicians who,人作主語,并且是復數(shù),所以必須是動詞原形,滿足的單詞依然是O) specialize ,D)range,我們可以將50和51題全部填入O)??? specialize,結(jié)果是必對一道,有時候放棄是為了得到。
52題:other psychological and social __52__,前面是psychological and social這兩個形容詞,空內(nèi)應(yīng)該填入名詞,由于是other,要求我們填入一個名詞復數(shù),滿足的只有一個單詞F)issues? B)involves,二選一,別著急,讓我們看下一道題。
53題:. Such comprehensive therapy often __53__ the work,前面是often,要求空內(nèi)填入實義動詞,Such comprehensive therapy明顯是單數(shù),不認識也無所謂,確定空內(nèi)的填入的單三形式的動詞,滿足的是F)issues? B)involves,知道怎么樣最功利嗎,那就是這道題和上面的52題都填入其中一個,結(jié)果依然必對一道?。?!
54題:This modern __54__ for pain management,前面是形容詞modern,要求填入名詞被它修飾,滿足的是A)result結(jié)果?? M)respect(尊重),空后是介詞for ,有一點基礎(chǔ)的人都知道 M) respect(尊重)最搭配for,所以也就排除了它作為動詞原形的可能性,所以現(xiàn)在知道我為什么將51題的滿足單詞固定為O) specialize ,D)range了嗎?
55題:there were only a __55__ number of drugs available,根據(jù)后面的名詞number,和前面的a,我們確定為形容詞修飾number,滿足的有C) significant? H)magnificent? J)? limited(有限的),同學們,看到了only了嗎?答案是 limited。
56題:and many of them caused __56__ side effects,后面是名詞概念side effects,填入形容詞來修飾吧!滿足的只有C) significant? H)magnificent,2猜1吧,結(jié)合49題2猜1,幾率是兩道2猜1,兩道可以對一道。
