今天先分析整套試卷里難度最低的選詞填空部分,目前全網(wǎng)只有2套選詞填空題目,我們就以這兩套題目為例啦~
2016.12四級(jí)選詞填空綜述
四級(jí)選詞填空一篇是講《海洋在升溫》,一篇講的是《人類(lèi)的大腦是否有性別之分》;首先,按照我們四六級(jí)選詞填空滿(mǎn)分秘籍講的做題步驟,先給選項(xiàng)標(biāo)注詞性;
四級(jí)選詞填空真題對(duì)比:
第一套:海洋升溫
文章來(lái)源:Science News(16.1.18)
字?jǐn)?shù):211 words
選項(xiàng)詞性:
沒(méi)有副詞;
2個(gè)形容詞
3個(gè)動(dòng)詞;
8?jìng)€(gè)名詞;
2個(gè)雙詞性,n./v.
第二套:大腦性別
文章來(lái)源:from the Grapevine(15.12.1)
字?jǐn)?shù):249 words
選項(xiàng)詞性:
2個(gè)副詞
3個(gè)形容詞
6個(gè)動(dòng)詞;
2個(gè)名詞;
2個(gè)雙詞性,n./v.
第一,從題材來(lái)看,兩篇都屬于科學(xué)報(bào)告。對(duì)比來(lái)說(shuō),《海洋》這篇略難,一共3段,第二段內(nèi)容信息豐富。《大腦性別》249字,幾乎每1-2句組成一段,一共8段,層次分明,讀起來(lái)比較容易。文章比《海洋》長(zhǎng),做題時(shí)幫助解題的線(xiàn)索信息就多。
第二,從選項(xiàng)來(lái)看,《大腦性別》15個(gè)選項(xiàng)中有2個(gè)副詞選項(xiàng),在判定空格詞性時(shí),副詞詞尾-ly,最容易選出,基本為送分空。
反觀《海洋》,15個(gè)選項(xiàng)中副詞0個(gè),但有8個(gè)名詞,而且還有2個(gè)雙詞性(不是名詞就是動(dòng)詞),名詞可能有10個(gè)。名詞的用法相對(duì)于副詞、形容詞和動(dòng)詞,更為復(fù)雜。
第三,從文章易讀性來(lái)看,且《海洋》為說(shuō)明文,行文用詞多是四級(jí)考生不熟悉的短語(yǔ)詞組,如volcanic outbreaks火山噴發(fā),fossil fuel礦石燃料等等。無(wú)疑增加了做題難度。
來(lái)看看在做題時(shí),如何應(yīng)對(duì)吧~ 先從簡(jiǎn)單的入手:
題目精析
選項(xiàng):
A) abnormal????????????? I) regardless
B) applied???????????????? J) searched
C) briefly?????????????????? K) similarities
D) categorizing???????? L) slightly
E) challenges??????????? M) suggests
F) figure??????????????????? N) tastes
G) percentage?????????? O) traditional
H) proving
Many men and women have long bought into the idea that there are “male” and “female” brains, believing that explains just about every difference between the sexes.
A new study?? 26?? that belief, questioning whether brains really can be distinguished by gender.
In the study, Tel Aviv University researchers?? 27??? for sex differences the entire human brain.
先看第一段的第一句,點(diǎn)明主旨。再看第26空,缺少動(dòng)詞,主語(yǔ)為單數(shù),推斷要填的動(dòng)詞為三單形式;第27空也缺少動(dòng)詞,且這個(gè)動(dòng)詞跟空格后的for組成固定搭配,時(shí)態(tài)未知。
選項(xiàng)M,N,E符合26的要求,再結(jié)合句義判斷;第一句提到傳統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為大腦有性別之分,而一項(xiàng)新的研究“質(zhì)疑”這一理念,questioning 也呼應(yīng)這里的動(dòng)詞的意義。
26空選,[E] challenges。
結(jié)合下文看第27空。
And what did they find? Not much. Rather than offer evidence for?? 28?? brains as “male” or “female,” research shows that brains fall into a wide range, with most people falling right in the middle.
這個(gè)調(diào)查study是過(guò)去做的,did也呼應(yīng)這一點(diǎn)。27填入的應(yīng)是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞過(guò)去式。27空選. [J] searched。
28題略難一些,可用排除法做??崭裨诿~前,應(yīng)填入形容詞,且這個(gè)詞要能跟as搭配,在abnormal,traditonal和regardless里選擇,語(yǔ)義不符。根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)義應(yīng)該填入categorizing,把……分類(lèi)。
categorize A as B or C,把A分為B或C;categorize brains as “male”or“female”把大腦分為男性或女性。
28. [D] categorizing
Daphna Joel, who led the study, said her research found that while there are some gender-based?? 29?? , many different types of brain can’t always be distinguished by gender.
29空解題的關(guān)鍵詞在while,這里表“讓步,盡管,即使”;那么這里要填入一個(gè)名詞。
且意義與逗號(hào)后面的different types相反,選項(xiàng)中2個(gè)名詞,percentage和similarities。顯然選相同點(diǎn)。29. [K] similarities
While the “average” male and “average” female brains were?? 30?? different, you couldn’t tell it by looking at individual brain scans. Only a small?? 31??? of people had “all-male” or “all-female” characteristics.
第30空比較簡(jiǎn)單,系表結(jié)構(gòu),完整,這里缺修飾different的副詞,在briefly和slightly中結(jié)合語(yǔ)義選擇slightly。30. [L] slightly
第31題為固定搭配:a small percentage of people “一小部分比例的人”。
31. [G] percentage
Larry Cahill, an American neuroscientist (神經(jīng)科學(xué)家),said the study is an important addition to a growing body of research questioning?? 32??? beliefs about gender and brain function. But he cautioned against concluding from this study that all brains are the same,?? 33?? of gender.
這個(gè)句子有點(diǎn)長(zhǎng),但不難,動(dòng)名詞questioning看作是動(dòng)詞question,空格處缺少形容詞,結(jié)合句義,這項(xiàng)研究是對(duì)什么的一個(gè)補(bǔ)充,選擇traditional。
而不是變態(tài)的abnormal,也不是regardless,這個(gè)詞一看就是要考固定搭配的,別問(wèn)我為什么,做多了你就知道了,語(yǔ)感。
32. [O] traditional
第33題,of搭配,選regardless,regardless of 表示無(wú)論的意思。
33. [ I ] regardless
“There’s a mountain of evidence?? 34?? the importance of sex influences at all levels of brain function,” he told The Seattle Times.
語(yǔ)感,一大堆證據(jù)后面跟什么,證明呀!選項(xiàng)中只有一個(gè)proving符合。34. [H] proving
If anything, he said, the study?? 35?? that gender plays a very important role in the brain “even when we are not clear exactly how.”
最后一空,the study/research,凡是這些詞做主語(yǔ)的,動(dòng)詞一般是suggest/prove/imply,直接選suggests。
35. [M] suggests
