四级选词填空专练

Model Test One

We feel that there are many disadvantages in arranging pupils into different classes. It is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. 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 this goal.

A) academic B) appropriate C) attain D) communicate E) hardship

F) individual G) inferior H) least I) opportunity J) personal

K) personality L) relax M) reliable N) solve O) various

Model Test Two

The free enterprise had produced a technology 47 of providing the American consumer with the largest and most varied marketplace in the world. Technological advances, however, have come hand-in-hand with impersonal mass marketing of goods and services. Along with 48 too, have come some instances of manipulative(操纵性的；操作) advertising practices and a great increase to products whose reliability, safety and quality are difficult to 49 .

Today’s consumers buy, enjoy, use and throw away more types of goods than could possibly have been imagined even a few years ago. Yes, too often consumers have no idea of the materials that have gone into the manufacturer’s finished product or their own 50 in selecting one product over another.

Easy credit and forceful techniques of modern marketing persuade many consumers to buy what they cannot 51 . The consequent 52 of family budgets is a problem for consumers at all economic levels. It is not unusual for families to set aside 20 percent or more of their income to debt repayments without understanding the effect this allocation has upon other choices. Some families have such tight budgets that an illness, a period of unemployment, or some other crisis finds them without 53 reserves（储备；储蓄）.

In addition to the growing complexity of the market, consumers are sometimes faced with unfair and 54 practices. Although there are laws 55 to protect the consumers, there are not a sufficient number of laws enforced to cover all the abuses of the marketplace.

An adult in today’s society should be knowledgeable in the use of credit. He should understand what is involved in purchasing a house, and the many pitfalls to be avoided when 56 into financial agreements. He should know enough about advertising and selling techniques to enable him to tell the honest from the deceptive. He should be knowledgeable about consumer protection

laws so that he can demand his rights. When he needs help, he should know the private and public sources to which he can turn for assistance.

A) virtually B) deceptive

C) supervisors D) entering

E) evaluate F) capable

G) efficiently H) progressI) designed J) likely

K) afford L) adequate

M) overburdening

N) amazing O) motivation

Model Test Three

To call something “marginal” means it is not very good. Farmers have their own way to 47 marginal land: It is the last to be planted under good conditions, and has the 48 to be avoided under poor conditions. Low 49 soil is not the only reason land could be considered marginal. It might be in an area where rainfall is 50 or where a hillside might rise too steeply (陡峭地）. There are uses for marginal land, however. Most often it is used as grassland. Grasses provide excellent 51 for grazing(吃草）animals like cattle, sheep and goats. Grass seed can be bought from a foreign supplier or 52 grasses can be used. However, using marginal land for grazing is not a simple issue. There is a 53 of overgrazing. Cattle can damage the crops by eating down to the roots. Also, the weight of the animals crushes the soil and can make it too hard for growing. A(n) 54 way to reduce the harm is to move animals from one field to another. This method is known as rotational grazing (循环放牧）which is extremely important for marginal land. Another use for marginal land is for tree crops. Studies have 55 that the white pine and loblolly pine(火炬松）are two kinds of trees that grow well on such land. They grow fast and provide good quality wood. Another tree is the poplar(白杨）,found in many parts of the world.

Failure to take the care needed to protect marginal lands can make a bad situation worse.But good planning can 56 a marginal resource into a highly productive one.

A）feed B) priority C) transplant D) effective

E) limited F) define G) adequate H) transform

I) discouraging J) quality K) native L) revealed

M) prejudice N) hazard O) recovered

Model Test Four

Undoubtedly 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. In addition, some parts like remote places have been in a much hotter state. The results aren’t satisfactory, ice being 53 , rivers running dry, and coasts being 54 , threatening villages and cottages.

The 55 are gradually occurring without any obvious phenomenon. But they shouldn’t slip our mind, because they can pose as a great potential threat to the 56 world.

A) remote B) technology

C) composing D) whole

E) voluntary F) climate

G) skill H) desireI) melting J) vanishing

K) eroded L) temperature

M) amazement N) changes

O) clever

答案及解析

Model Test One

47. K 该空应填入一名词。由前一句和本句提到的“不能只根据学生的智力来给他们分等级。这(智力)只是他们全部……的一部分”，可以判断personality (个性)最符合句意。

48. A 该空所在句子意为“我们关心所有学生的全面发展，而不仅是他们的……能力”。根据上文所述，该处的能力即“intellectual ability”，所以academic (学术的，学院的，仅理论的)是最佳答案。

49. O 根据下文所列举的种种学习活动，这里应填入various (各种各样的)。

50. I 该空应填入一名词。在可选名词中，符合该句句意“给他们……来学习合作”的只有opportunity (机会)。

51. J 该空上下文的意思是“他们学习与别人合作。他们也学习如何处理……问题”。这样，personal (个人的)最合适。

52. D 该空应填入一不及物动词，而所在短语意思是“(学习)有效地……”。在可选动词中，应用communicate (交流)。

53. F 该空所在句意思是“学生们有时两个一组地学习或是完成的任务和作业”。因前面是“两个一组”，所以与之并列的另一选择只能是individual (单独的，个别的)。

54. B 该空应填入一形容词或分词，而所在句意为“学生们在……的时候也接受正式的课堂教育”，因此在可选词中，appropriate (适当的，合适的)最贴切。

55. H 与前文do their best (竭尽全力)相对应，该空应填入least (最小，最少)一词。

56. C 该空所在句意为“我们鼓励学生们……他们的目标”，只能填入attain (达到，实现)。attain one’s goal/objective/ambition意为实现目的、目标、抱负。

Model Test Two

47. F 名词后接形容词或分词短语作为后置定语是英语中常用的表达方法。选项中的capable 常与介词of搭配，即具备什么样的能力。填入此处符合上下文逻辑。句子的意思是“自由经济产生一种能够为美国消费者提供世界上最大和最多样化市场的技术（机制）”。

48. H 介词with后应该填入名词，前面讲到了“technological advances”，所以选progress 与该处所述内容恰好呼应起来，即，伴随着发展也产生了一些问题。

49. E 不定式后面应填入动词。从句子的逻辑上看，应该填入evaluate，即产品的可信赖性、安全性和质量都很难评估。

50. O 填入名词。该段谈论消费者在自由经济的环境中所面临的状况，很多情况下消费者并不清楚生产商的终极产品使用了哪些材料，或者他们自己也弄不清楚自己选择一种产品而不选择另外一种产品是出于怎样的动机，填入motivation使上下文逻辑一致。

51. K 填入动词。前面讲到了现代市场唾手可得的信用和强大的技术手段，当然是诱使消费者购买超出他们能够负担得起的商品，因此填入afford。

52. M 形容词consequent（随之而来的）后应填入名词。前面已到现代市场的各种机制诱使消费者购买超越他们承受能力的商品，对于家庭来说这是一种超重的负担（overburdening），填入动名词overburdening符合题意。

53. L 填入形容词。该句提到一些家庭的预算如此吃紧，以至于一旦家庭遇上疾病、事业等危机，家庭储蓄就显得不足（without adequate reserves）。

54. B 填入形容词。由于and连接词性和词义平行的成分，所以选词应该与unfair一词相对应，很快选出deceptive（欺骗性的），即，消费者有时不得不面临不公平和欺骗性的商业实践。

55. I 名词后接形容词或分词短语，作为后置定语。该处填入designed与句子后面laws enforced to在逻辑和结构上恰好相呼应，是指设计（制定）的法律，句子的意思是：虽然制定了旨在保护消费者的法律，但依然没有足够实施的法律来覆盖所有市场滥用的行为。56. D 当when, if, once等连词引导的从句主语与主句主语一致时，从句主语省略，后面直接接分词形式。同时考生应该熟悉enter into an agreement或enter into a contract的用法。因此填入entering。

Model Test Three

47. F 此处需填入一个动词原形，可选范围缩小到A、C、F、H、M和N，冒号后面的内容，显然是在对marginal land进行定义，故答案为F。

48. B 此处需要填入一个名词或动名词，可选范围缩小到A、B、C、I、J、K、M和N，根据前半句the last to be planted under good conditions marginal land肯定是首先要放弃的，故正确答案为B。

49. J 此处需要填入一个名词，形容词或相当于形容词功能的词来修饰soil，后面谈到的是自然和地理条件，因此这里应该填一个表示土壤质量的词。

50. E 此处需要填入一个形容词，名词或动词的现在或过去分词作表语，由于连接词是“or”，后面谈到的是不好的地理环境，那么这里肯定是雨水不足，正确答案为E。

51. A 此处需要填入一个名词或动名词作宾语，根据文章意思，草肯定是为食草动物提供了优质的饲料，因此正确答案为A。

52. K 此处需要填入一个形容词来修饰grasses,根据本句与foreign的对比逻辑关系可确定答案为K。

53. N 此处需要填入一个名词，根据下文cattle对marginal land的破坏可确定正确答案为N。

54. D 此处需要填入一个形容词，根据下文的描述可知，这里是指一个有效的方法，因此正确答案为D。

55. L 此处需要填入一个动词的过去分词，后面的内容是这项研究的成果，所以答案是L。

56. H 此处需要填入一个动词原形，根据a marginal resource into a highly productive one的鲜明对比可知这是一种转换，故正确答案为H。

Model Test Four

47. E 此处应填入E项，be voluntary to 为固定搭配,意为“自愿地做某事”，符合题意。

48. H 此处应填入一个名词，而desire通常和介词for搭配，此处句子的意思为“控制我们对能源无止境的欲望以停止对环境的破坏”。

49. A 此处应填入一个形容词，根据上下文意思应选A项，意即:全球气候变暖似乎离我们太遥远,以至于我们无需为此担心。

50. B 此处应填入一个名词，根据上下文意思与computer搭配的名词为B项。

51. F 根据上下文意思，本段均说明全球变暖这一环境变化，所以此处应表达气候变化之意，F为正确选项。

52. L 该题较为简单，表示“全球的气温比上个世纪上升了1华氏”，应能迅速找出正确答案。

53. I 全球变暖的结果令人担心，常识告诉我们其后果之一就是冰川融化，所以ice 与melt 搭配并符合句意，I为正确选项。

54. K 与上题一样，此处也是全球变暖的后果之一（海岸受到侵蚀），此处应填入一个现在分词，因此应选K。

55. N 该题较为简单，应填入一个复数名词，所以填入changes项。

56. D 选D项，the whole world为固定搭配，选项J是个干扰项，表示“地球正在消亡”，但是文章没有提到，而且有点言过其实了。
