第三步,瞻前顧后選答案
切忌只看空格前后的幾個(gè)詞,我們以典型的幾個(gè)題為例。
(1)簡(jiǎn)單的語(yǔ)法判斷
Hops (啤酒花), for example, which give many a modern beer its bitter flavor, are a __26__ recent addition to the beverage.
此空在不定冠詞 a 后,形容詞 recent 前,由此我們可以判斷這個(gè)空是一個(gè)副詞。選項(xiàng)中只有 exclusively(專門地,排外地)和 relatively(相當(dāng)?shù)? 是副詞。結(jié)合語(yǔ)義可判斷二者中應(yīng)選 I)relatively.
(2)巧用連詞
The majority of the grains, about 80%, were from cereal crops like barley (大麥), and about 10% were bits of roots, __32__ lily, would have made the beer sweeter, the scientists say.
這一題我們注意到,原文中出現(xiàn)了連詞“and”。and前后的部分一定是對(duì)稱的,那么__32__ lily的含義一定和like barley (大麥)相似,是一個(gè)舉例子的意思。輔以詞性判斷,就知道這一題的要選“including”。
(3)時(shí)間對(duì)比
Barley was an unexpected find: the crop was domesticated in Western Eurasia and didn’t become a __33__ food in central China until about 2000 years ago, according to the researchers. Based on that timing, they indicate barley may have __34__in the region not as food, but as__35__material for beer brewing.
在做33題時(shí),通過(guò)詞性可判斷是形容詞,但是形容詞有4個(gè),這該怎么判斷呢?我們注意到這句話里有一個(gè)時(shí)間2000 years ago。昨天的閱讀技巧中唐叔tip2提到了時(shí)間對(duì)比原則,也就是說(shuō)__33__ food 的意思一定和后面的“not as food”的意思相反。“不作為食物”的反義就是“一種主要食物”,因此我們可以判斷這一題選擇staple(主要的,基本的)。
以上就是選詞填空的答題方法,完整四六級(jí)真題隨班贈(zèng)送。同學(xué)們切記在選詞填空中遇到連詞、時(shí)間時(shí)的判斷技巧,學(xué)會(huì)“瞻前顧后”。
