大学四级英语快速阅读与选词填空
CET-4选词填空
妙手空空选择填空——新四级新题之一根据2006年六月最新的四级考试,新题型除了增加“快速阅读”,传统的阅读(仔细阅读)也被分成两个部分。
一是选词填空;二是常规阅读(也就是传统上的我们最熟悉的四选一)。
选词填空是新鲜玩意儿,看看究竟葫芦里卖的什么药,又当如何应对。
选词填空考察方式为:从一篇220字左右的文章中,留出10个单词的空格,从给出的15个备选单词中选出10个填入文章相应处,使文章意思通顺,表达正确。
这部分主要考察考生对词汇的认知和语法的理解。
选词填空和仔细阅读,由于选词填空和后面的两篇文章连在一起,首先一定要把时间分配好。
实际上,选词填空一般情况下7到8分钟即可完成。
总体来讲,如果你要全部看一遍的话,没有必要。
但是建议你可以看一段,把这一段的相关题目做完。
再看一段再做题。
这个时间控制在7到8分钟,这样会使后面的题目做得比较好。
仔细阅读时间减少,尽量挤出选词填空的时间来弥补。
I.考点分析:妙手空空术简要交代一要考试形式:与传统考题的完形相似,但十个空格有A到O十五个选项,要求考生选择正确的单词填入文章。
选词填空,当然要考词汇。
但比之以往专门的词汇题不同的是,它是更完全的更高层次的考察;与此前传统阅读理解里的“词汇题”相比,只是后者的一个扩展,实质并无不同。
它们所考察的,都是在篇章中对词汇的把握。
其实也就是:遇到生词怎么办?有句子,有文章,你搞定给我看!再直白一点:考的就是在上下文中猜测词义的能力——妙手空空!所以这种考察不是莫名其妙的,而是为了纠正我们词汇学习中的一大误区:只知背,不会猜。
从来都不乏这样一个似乎天经地义的观念:不认识单词,怎么懂得句子?而真相往往是:抓住了句子文章的要点,单词不在话下。
这些要点是什么?我们一边讲解题方法,一边体会。
II.解题方法一、尽量辨性把十五个选项按词性分别归入名词、动词、形容词、副词等类别。
辨性要注意下面几点。
1.动词还要两分,那就是谓语和非谓语动词。
所谓非谓语动词,就是-ing, -ed, to do型的,其它的都是谓语动词。

大学英语四级阅读理解选词填空解题技巧
大学英语四级阅读理解选词填空解题技巧大学英语四级阅读理解----选词填空解题技巧一、题型揭秘考生需要对该部分的测试重点有所了解,复习才有针对性。
该部分测试重点在于把握文章的结构,主要考查考生对诸如连贯性、一致性、逻辑联系等语篇、语段整体特征以及单词在实际语境中的理解,即要求考生在理解全文的基础上弄清文章的宏观结构和具体细化到每个单词的微观理解。
本题型和原来的词汇题相比,更注重实际运用,从单一的一句话考查上升到篇章的理解。
这一题型要求我们对上下文有很好的理解,尤其是对上文的理解,要求比较高。
词填空出现在大学英语四级考试Part III Reading Comprehension深度阅读(reading in depth)的第一部分.其出题形式是在一篇220—250词左右的文章里,留有10个空格,要求考生从下面方框列出的15个选项中,选出合适的选项填入空格内。
该部分的分值占整个分值比例的5%,考试时间大概为9分钟。
纵观这几年的试卷分析,考生在该题目上的失分比较大,究其原因.一方面是因为该题目本身具有的难度,要求考生掌握词汇、语法、阅读等基础知识,并具有较强的语言综合运用能力,在段落及篇章中考查词汇的用法及含义。
另一方面则属于对该题的做题方法不是很熟悉,导致失分。
本文将从词性判断和利用逻辑关系词确定答案两方面展开,探讨该题的解题技巧。
本题型考查的对象皆为实义词,主要包括名词、动词、形容词、副词,所以要求我们熟知大学英语四级的积极词汇,熟知单词的词类和不同意思。
由于考试的形式是选词填空,所以我们必须熟悉一些基本的语法知识,例如:词性的归纳(4种词性,名词、动词、形容词、副词)、基于语法的判断(单复数、ing形式等)、常用搭配的掌握等。
2009年12月篇章选词:动词7个(含ING或ed 形式),名词4个,副词2个,形容词2个。
关键是从语法角度确定选词处的词性,然后进行辨别。
篇章选词=语法+词性选词填空对我们来说是难度较大的一道试题,具有较强的区分度,解题时要做到三点:1. 把握全文中心和作者态度;2. 掌握段落之间联系;3. 明确句子前后及内部逻辑关系。

This is only one aspect of their total 47 . We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their 48 ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in 49 ways. The pupils often work in groups, which gives them the 50 to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with 51 problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to 52 effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs or on 53 tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is 54. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their 55, and we give them every encouragement to 56 thisUndoubtedly the globe is getting hotter and hotter. The unavoidable questions are: How much responsibility shall we take for warming, and are we 47 to stop the destruction by limiting our insatiable 48 for natural fuels?It seems that global warming is too 49 to be worried about, or too unpredictable. The computer 50 cannot define what the weather is like next week. In cold winter day it might be considered that a little warming would be a fair thing. And doubtlessly: Alarming about 51 alteration may sound like an environmentalist frightening strategy, aiming to urge humans to walk and keep the world cleaner.However, based on the data collected by scientists, bad news are brought to our living media.From California to the snowy peaks of China, the air is heating up right now, and the globe is being fast warmed, the 52 has increased by 1 ℉ compared with the past century.

As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation;51 their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, 52 prevent a lot of radiation damage. Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in 53 . Doses of radiation are measured in units called “rems (雷姆)”.

The lecturer speaks for one or two hours, perhaps 47 the talk with slides, writing up important information on the blackboard, distributing reading material and giving out 48 .The new student sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and wonders what to write. Very often the student leaves the lecture49 notes which do not catch the main points and which become hard even for the 50 to understand.Most institutions provide courses which assist new students to develop the skills they need to be 51 listeners and note takers.

Safely, of course, and just for sport or personal security, what else? The idea is as old as it is dangerous.Knowledge about GunsEvery generation delights in handing down its knowledge to the next-assuming, of course, that the next is ready to sit raptly at its feet. But some sorts of knowledge are treated with more urgency, and reverence, than others. Among these is the handling of guns. Children have to be kept away from firearms,yet,at the same time, instructed in the joy and skill of them. It is an extremely difficult balance to strike,and it is made no easier by the fact that, in some societies, the possession and use of a gun has become a metaphor (隐语,暗喻) for every right that parents wish to bequeath (遗留) to their offspring.Guns in the USGun magazines in the United States delight to show the young, kitted out with mufflers (消声器) and eye-protectors or casual in a camouflage (伪装) cap, squinting (斜视) through the sights of a rifle while braced in their father's arms.They are sometimes very young indeed: four or five.Such images repel Europeans and the antigun lobby, but America n‟s gun enthusiasts see them quite differently: as symbols of freedom, tradition and delight in fatherly instruction. “Those sure were the good times,”reads one advertisement.“Just you,Dad,and his Smith & Wesson.”Guns are also,of course,deadly: and not just in the shape of the handguns that flood America's cities. After the killing of four children and a teacher in a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas, in 1998,news agencies distributed photographs of one of the killers as he had been at the age of six: proudly smiling,in full camouflage,with a rifle in his hand.Andrew Golden had always loved hunting,and had lived in a house where guns of all sorts were displayed in unlocked cabinets. From popping birds to shooting schoolmates is a leap that very few childrentake.Nonetheless,young Andrew lived in a culture where enthusiasm for (even obsession with) guns among his elders meant that he came,much too early,to experience the heft (重量) of a gun and the thrill of a perfect aim.Not Toys, Just Objects of DesireThe National Rifle Association (NRA) has in recent years repackaged itself with some success as a preacher of gun safer to children.As—these days—it admits,“With a firearm p resent in about half of all American households,young children should learn that firearms are not toys.” Theassociation's safety mascot (吉祥物) is Eddie Eagle,an anxious looking bird,usually with one wing raised in admonition (警告,训诫),who now decorates sunglasses,T-shirts andlunch-boxes,and is available in cuddly (令人喜欢的) form.His message to children who find a gun—“Stop!Don't touch.Leave the area.Tell an adult”—is,of course,a very sound one.It is slightly undercut by the disclaimer that follows: “That's Eddi e Eagle's fundamental,non-judgmental public-safety message.”“Non-judgmental”seems a strange word to use in this context.But it is necessary,lest anyone thinks that Eddie Eagle might be saying that guns in themselves are bad,or that keeping them in the house might be dangerous.The guns have a right to be there; it is the children who must treat them as objects of fear and mystery.It is worth noting too that the message is aimed at “young”children,or those the parent thinks “not ready to be trained in a gun s handling and use” At some undefined stage (the photographs in INSIGHTS,the NRA's magazine for junior members,suggest it comes when children are about seven or eight),guns change from being fearsome objects,better left alone,to items that children are positively encouraged to possess. INSIGHTS is not a publication the NRA is keen to advertise.Outsiders are rebuffed (回绝) if they ask for copies.Small wonder.Eddie Eagle still flutters in the background,and safety is asub-theme: as in ear-muffs,stylish eye goggles (护目镜),and not pointing your rifle at people.The magazine says it also offers “educational information about firearms”.With that aim,no doubt,its photographs show children who are thrilled to the marrow (骨髓,核心) to have got their hand's on guns.They grin broadly,shouldering a firearm as big as themselves,or glare,through sights at the target.Articles invite them to test-fire the Remington Etron X Model 700, “part of the new wave of guns”,or to head to the NRA's annualexhibition in Charlotte,North Ca rolina,to get “a jump start”on the latest fire power.Who Is to Blame?It is the advertisements,though,that make the blood run cold.The gun makers do not pretend to be addressing children of 10 or 12; they simply run the adult copy.“The need for a quality …First Time‟ revolver never went away,” reads one.“The Model 1929 is one package,one purchase that gets you into handgun shooting with all the right stuff,the first time.” A half-page from “Savage Arms”offers a “Predator”combination gun with a “low-rebounding hammer and a built-intwo-position barrel selector”.The specifications are mind-numbing,but it seems the children can take them,for the letters article reads very similarly: boys boasting about the bore of their guns.The NRA might well ask what it could do differently.At some stage,it would argue,children have to be inducted into the world of firearms and steered,if they can be,to the sporting side of them.Yet there is no way of writing about guns for children that does not presuppose in the latter an extraordinary maturity of thinking and acting.The child who picks up a gun has,in effect,ceased to be a child.1. This passage gives the readers a general description of_____.A) gun history in the USB) advertisements about gun usage in the USC) gun usage and its danger in the USD) how a child playing with gun2.

Young children in the US can get access to guns and what is to blame is _____.Bullying Is Common Among School ChildrenWhat your son is describing is bullying,plain and simple.Although it is late in the school year,you should take action by reassuring your son that he did nothing to bring this on and that you will help him.Many parents,unfortunately,think that bullying and being bullied are rites of passage,something all kids endure at some point in their lives just like suffering through boring assembles and bad cafeteria food.But bullying is not,and should not be,considered a normal part of growing up.Studies done in Norway show that bullying is most common in the younger age groups but is still present even in the mid-teens.The percent of children who are bullied ranges from 17% in the second grade to about 5% in the ninth grade.A recent survey in the United States shows that 10% of children reported being bullied.This survey was limited to sixth through tenth graders.What Is BullyingBullying involves intentional and repeated actions and words designed to intimidate or hurt another person.There is usually an imbalance of power,either physical or psychological,betweenthe perpetrator (作恶者) and his or her victim.Occasional name calling or shoving are not considered bullying because they are usually not repetitive events.On the other hand,if a child is on the receiving end of taunts (嘲弄) and name calling by any persons regularly,then that is considered bullying.Physical aggression,social alienation (疏远),verbal aggression,and intimidation are the four main categories of bullying.Many parents are shocked when they find out their child has been the victim of a bully,and a few parents are shocked to find out that their child has been a bully.Victims tend to be more passive,anxious,and insecure than non-victims and to have more negative views of themselves.A small percentage of victims are termed“provocative”because they are both anxious an d aggressive,often seeking the attention of the perpetrator.The bullies,by comparison,tend to be aggressive children and frequently lack empathy for others.Bullies usually have a positive self-image and a desire to be in control.The bully cherishes power.The cherished myth of the bully as a loner (孤独的人) with a poor self-image seeking to support his own self-worth by attacking others didn‟t hold up to scrutiny (详细审查) of scientific study.Of course,there will always be victims and perpetrators who do not fit these profiles!Any child can be a bully,and any child can be bullied if the circumstances are right.Although bullying is common,studies report that only half the children report what is happening to a parent,and even fewer to a teacher.Few adults witness the acts of the bully because most aggression occurs at school and places where there is little oversight by an adult.The playground,cafeteria,and rest rooms are common locations for the perpetrator to act.Children who are victims may develop a variety of vague health complaints to avoid going to school or wherever the bullying is taking place.Sometimes this kind of school avoidance behavior can be a red flag for parents,so ask your child if he or she is being picked on and bullied.Why Kids BullyThere are many reasons why kids may become bullies.Bullies frequently target people who are different.Then,they seek to exploit those differences.They choose victims who they think are unlikely to fight back.That means children who are overweight,wear glasses,or have obvious physical differences like big ears or severe acne (痤疮) are common subjects for ridicule.But the differences don‟t have to be just physical.Children who learn at a different pace or are anxious or insecure can also be targets for bullies.Bullies may also turn to this abusive behavior as a way of dealing with a difficult situation at home,such as a divorce.Bullies might not realize how hurtful their actions can be,but some know the pain firsthand because they‟ve been bullied or have been victims of abusing themselves.Some bullies think their behavior is normal because they come from families in which everyone regularly gets angry,shouts,and/or calls names.They copy what they know.And just like the children they‟re tormenting,b ullies often have low self-esteem.Whatever the cause,bullies usually pick on others as a way of dealing with their own problems.Sometimes,they pick on kids because they need a victim—someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker—to try to gain acceptance and feel more important,popular,or in control.Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims,bullies can come in all shapes and sizes.What to Do About BullyingIf your child reveals to you that he or she is being bullied,take actions.Parents can help the child by teaching him how to demonstrate an air of self-confidence by making good eyecontact,speaking clearly and loudly enough to be heard.Remind the child to walk away from the encounter,tell the bully firmly that he is in the wrong,and to tell a teacher,parent or other adult what is happening.Parents of bullies should also intervene to stop the behavior and make it clear that bullying will not be tolerated or ignored.One study showed that 60% of boys who were identified as bullies in grades six through nine had at least one criminal conviction by the age of 24,between 35% and 40% of these children had three or more criminal convictions by that same age.Psychological counseling is often helpful and may identify the underlying problems such as depression or conduct disorder.There are many resources for parents and teachers.There are a number of good books such as Tackling Bullying in Your School: A Practical Handbook for Teachers by Sharp and Smith as well as Bully Proofing Your School by Garrity,Jens and Porter.1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE about bullying?A) Bullying is only existed among students in the US.B) Bullying is the most general among adults.C) Bully ing is an abnormal part for children‟s growth.D) Parents should help their children to endure bullying.2. Occasional name calling and shoving are .A) considered bullying because they do harm to the victimsB) considered bullying because they do harm to the perpetratorsC) not considered bullying because they are not regular eventsD) not considered bullying because they are not aggressive events3. Compared to the bullies, victims of a bully are .A) more passive, anxious, insecure and diffidentB) more active, anxious, insecure and diffidentC) less passive, anxious, insecure and diffidentD) less active, anxious, secure and diffident4.

Studies reveal that when children are confronted with bullying, they .A) trust their teachers more than their parentsB) trust their parents more than their teachersC) trust their friends more than their parentsD) trust their teachers more than their friends6.

How could she ever explain the geometry (几何学) involved—that the angle she walks across the diameter of the circle is equal to the angle between the sun and the food source? What if the sun goes down before the other bees understand? How does she explain she has invented one dance for a food supply nearby,and another for a supply a long distance away?How does she tell them that if she wiggles very slowly it means the field is very distant,and if she wiggles very fast it means the field is not ar? How will they know that if the dancer walks up the honeycomb they should fly towards the sun,but if she walks down they must fly in the opposite direction?Even more important,if this process slowly evolved over a long time,how would all the bee ancestors have survived while this system of communication was evolving? If they survived without this complicated method,why invent a new system that would be almost impossible to explain?Among the wonders of God‟s creation,the honeybee provides some startling evidences against evolution,and for design and purpose by the Creator.The precisely coordinated language used for the bee‟s survival has too many necessary and independent parts for such a system to have evolved.We are forced by logic and common sense to conclude that the whole process was implanted in bees at the time of their creation.Like the bees,it did not and could not evolve.The dance of the figure eight is also used when bees are selecting a new homesite.Under certain conditions,such as overcrowding,the queen may leave with part of the colony to search for a new home.She leaves behind one or more queen cells from which a new queen will atch.The old queen and her swarm first congregate (聚合,聚集) somewhere,such as on a branch of atree.Worker bees are then sent to scout around for a suitable new homesite.Any scout who finds a potential site returns to the others and tells them where her favored site is by doing the“figure eight”dance on the surface of the cluster of bees.Other bees inspect each site and return to the colony to tell the others what they “think”ofit.The vigor of their dancing reflects their reactions to the suitability of the site.Finally,after perhaps several days of house-hunting,one of the sites gains overwhelming favor and the swarm moves off to start a new hive there.One researcher watched this dance contest for four days,noting directions and distances of potential sites.He worked out the site which was rapidly gaining favor,then hurried off to findit.He arrived at the new dwelling-place before even the bees did!。

英语四级选词填空的解题技巧
英语四级选词填空的解题技巧英语四级选词填空的解题技巧1、细读首句、启示全文。
选词填空所选短文一般无标题,但首句通常不设空格,因此它往往是了解文章全貌的“窗口”;因此可判断文章体裁,推测文章大意,对我们理解全文有重要的启示作用。
2、通读全文,掌握大意。
先要稳下心来,“硬着头皮”把短文从头到尾快速阅读一至两遍,以从整体上感知全文,掌握大意。
跳过空格、不看选项、快速阅读,困难肯定是有的。
但要注意文中的暗示,努力找出关键词。
如果是故事性文章,那时间、地点、人物就是关键词;抓住了关键词就抓住了故事的线索,进而理解全文,此时选填就不会是胡猜乱填。
可见,通读全文进而掌握大意是做好“选词填空”的先决条件。
在掌握了短文大意之后,才可边读短文边选择答案。
在阅读过程中,也许有些答案会在脑海中浮现,有些觉得很有把握或是不大,这时最好不要急于动笔,先读完。
因为有些空白处,从单一的句子本身来看是难以确定答案的。
因此,选词填空难度在于要能大致读懂一篇留有许多空白的短文,这就要求考生具有相当的阅读能力和通过长期大量阅读而形成的语感。
3、瞻前顾后,先易后难。
瞻前顾后即前后观察,对空格前后句子作深入分析,确定空格在句中的意思。
如果是语法问题,不仅要考虑时态、语态,还要考虑整个词法、句法。
如果是语义问题,要从上下文分析,依据短文自身完整的语言环境进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。
先易后难就是首先选出那些只根据上下文就能确定的、直接的、明显的答案,诸如固定词组、常见句型等。
这就增强了信心,减轻了心理压力,以便集中精力解决难度较大的选项。
瞻前顾后,不要忘记首尾照应,首句之重要大家已注意,同时不要忽视尾句的画龙点睛的作用。
另外要牢记文章的中心思想,每个空白处的含义与前后句的意思要联系起来理解。
文章最前面的空格提出的问题很有可能要到文章的末尾才能找到答案。
4、上下连贯,合乎逻辑。
这是从句子结构的角度来考虑。
如果空白处位于引导状语从句的位置上,则首先要分清是何种状语从句(时间、原因、条件、结果、目的、让步、比较关系、行为方式……),然后再选择适当的词填空。

3. 动词归类要细分为v,v-ed, v-ing。因为一个空可以填动词,但 填原形还是过去式还是-ing形式要自己根据语法判断。
此外,以-ing, -ed 结尾的词也可能是分词转变而来的形容词, 如holding做动词:She’s holding her mother’s hand. 做形容词: holding company (控股公司); 再如acquired做动词:academic skills he acquired. 做形容词:a newly acquired jacket (新买的夹克)。

如何判断原文空缺处所需单词的词性:
形容词的确定:
1.名词的前面。 … women are customers.
2.副词的后面。 … El Nino brought the most
副词的确定:
weather in modern history.
1.动词的附近(指前面或后面)。
…students
整理选项。大概花费1分钟,即辨别每个单词词性的 时间为4秒/词。分别标出15个备选项的词性,比如在 名词旁标注n.,在动词旁写上v.,形容词旁标注adj., 副词旁写上adv.等。目前四级考试只考实词(notional words)中的四种:名词n、动词v、形容词adj、副词 adv; (不考代词和数词;也不考虚词(冠词art, 介 词prep, 连词conj, 感叹词interj) )
4)如果选项中出现一组近义词或反义词时,往往有一个是干扰选项, 它注重考察的是词汇的精确理解,要求考生分析清楚其细微的区别。
提醒:词性要标在选项的前面,也就是A, B, C…的前面,齐刷刷的 好看。也可标在两组选项的中间空白处,方便对照。
大学英语四级阅读选词填空技巧
大学英语四级阅读选词填空技巧大学英语四级阅读选词填空技巧大学英语四级考试的阅读部分,除了传统的两篇仔细阅读和一篇快速阅读,还有一种让考生普遍头痛的考法:选词填空。
选词填空的考察形式是:一篇280词左右的文章,文章中挖出10个空,并统一给出A-O15个备选答案。
选词填空区别于完形填空,有更大的解题难度,原因在于:1. 完形填空每题都是四选一,选词填空第一题要十五选一,就算用到排除法,最后一题也要六选一,而且在十五个选项中还有五个根本不会用到,难度加大;2. 完形填空每题的四个选项都是统一的词性,只需要辨析词义、搭配就基本可以作答,而选词填空的十五个选项有多个词性,解题时需要同时判断词性和词义,难度加大;3. 完形填空每题的四个选项往往都是统一时态,统一形式,而在选词填空中会涉及选项的动词时态、第三人称单数形式、被动主动语态,名词的单复数等的辨析,难度加大。
因此,针对选词填空的解题方法分为三步:1. 预览选项,了解词义并把选项分为四大类词性:名词n,动词v,形容词a,副词ad,在每个选项后作词性的简要标记;2. 精读全文开头,把握文章主题,并以三个空或一个段落为一个单位,利用前后文判断每空的词性;3. 把对应词性的选项逐一带回原文,含义通顺,时态、主谓搭配一致的为正确选项。
四级考试的常用后缀在判断选项词性时可以有一定帮助作用:常见名词后缀:-sion,-tion,如:starvation,attraction,profession-ity,如:quality,diversity常见动词后缀:-ate,如:estimate,generate-en,如:widen,worsen常见形容词后缀:-able,如:stable,affordable-tive,-sive,如:destructive,excessive ,sensitive-ous,如:unconscious,enormous常见副词后缀:-ly,如:deliberately,completely,remarkably,在根据前后文判断每空的词性时,一些经常考察的形式如下:名词:通常来说,冠词(如a,an,the)、形容词、介词后面搭配名词,即“a/an/the/adj./prep. + n。
