很多同学马上就要面临新四级考试,但是对于一些老四级中未曾出现过的新题型心存恐惧。不知道如何处理。实际上,正如古人常说的“难者不会,会者不难”。只要掌握了相应的解法,新题型也只不过是纸老虎罢了。下面,针对四级班上很多同学的要求,择要谈一谈15选10题型的解法。来源:www.examda.com
鉴于现在已是十二月上旬,同学们应该早进入复习的白热化阶段,所以本题型的意义 ,演变,发展等等一概略过。我们直接谈一谈本题的解法。来源:www.examda.com
首先,本题型出现在仔细阅读部分(共25分钟),排在两篇常规阅读文章之前(每篇文章分配9分钟)。所以本题型共10道小题最佳完成时间应控制在7分钟。每道小题约40秒。记住,无论一个方法多么高明,如果不能让你在40秒内解出一道题,这种方法就毫无意义。
其次,同一个单词只用最多一次。破解本题的核心技巧是通过相同词性备选词排除,达到大幅降低难度的目的。比如,我们判断出某空应填入名词,而备选词中只有三个名词,那么我们作题的难度就从15选1突降至3选1。
最后,利用一分钟通览全文,确定填入答案无误。来源:www.examda.com
本题型作题步骤如下:
一,标出15个备选词词性。
二,浏览全文,确定每个空格处应具有的词性。
三,比较相同词性的备选词,利用上下文线索,词的褒贬色彩,平行结构,单复数,时态等标准在几个备选词中选出唯一正确的。
四,完成全文后复查一遍。

四,完成全文后复查一遍。
例:
Q47: 通过前置冠词 “a”判断本处应为名词,且可数。从下文线索“I couldn’t understand anything,”判断,本处应为贬义色彩的名词。在名词性备选词中,只有E) nightmare符合要求。
例:

写在后面的话:
小小四级考试,不过是一堆小技巧的总合。无论是胜是败,都不能代表各位同学生命的高度。当你被单词书折磨得疲惫不堪的时候,当你在模考后备受打击,甚至对自己失望的时候,请望望窗外吧!外面阳光灿烂,山高水长!所谓的四级,六级,考研,在明澈温暖,洞彻千年的阳光下只不过是场匆匆闹剧,犹如半空的浮尘。你想想就觉得可笑:躲在上海交大浩然高科技大楼22层的那几十个四六级考试委员会的老人家,何德何能,怎么就能把两千万考生称来掂去,然后标出每个人的成就和前途?记住袁老师的话吧,从前有一个笨学生,当他百分之七十的同学都拿A的时候,他的平均成绩是C;如果不是因为他父亲的缘故,他几乎肯定无法毕业。但是,几十年后,他成了这个世界上最有权势的人。而且我们几乎天天在电视上见到他---他叫小布什。记住,A或者C,并不是你的高度。
最后,让我对所有为了理想而奋斗不止的人们致以深深的敬意。也祝愿各位同学终能“衣青云兮白霓裳,举长矢兮射天狼!”
