英語(yǔ)六級(jí)閱讀：5分鐘搞定選詞填

選詞填空是2013年12月六級(jí)改革之后才出現(xiàn)的新面孔。別看它初來(lái)乍到，但實(shí)則它就是我們從學(xué)生時(shí)代就喜聞樂(lè)見(jiàn)的完形填空啦!而且它還有一些相應(yīng)的應(yīng)試技巧呢，一起來(lái)看看吧!

下面將通過(guò)2014年6月英語(yǔ)六級(jí)考試選詞填空真題的解析，來(lái)說(shuō)明快速搞定選詞填空的技巧。

【真題再現(xiàn)】

(不妨可以試著自己做一做，做過(guò)才能看下面的答案和解析哦!)

Millions of Americans are entering their 60s and are more concerned than ever about retirement. They know they need to save, but how much? And what exactly are they saving for-to spend more time __36__ the grandkids, go traveling, or start another career? It turns out that husbands and wives may have __37__ different ideas about the subject.

The deepest divide is in the way spouses envisage their lifestyle in their later years. Fidelity Investments Inc. found 41 percent of the 500 couples it surveyed __38__ on whether both or at least one spouse will work in retirement. Wives are generally right regarding their husbands' retirement age, but men __39__ the age their wives will be when they stop working. And husbands are slightly more __40__ about their standard of living than wives are.

Busy juggling (窮于應(yīng)付) and families, most couples don't take time to sit down, __41__ or together, and think about what they would like to do 5, 10 or 20 years from now. They __42__ they are on the same page, but the __43__ is they have avoided even talking about it.

If you are self-employed or in a job that doesn't have a standard retirement age, you may be more apt to delay thinking about these issues. It is often a __44__ retirement date that provides the catalyst (催化劑) to start planning. Getting laid off or accepting an early-retirement __45__ can force your hand. But don't wait until you get a severance (遣散費(fèi)) check to begin planning.

一、認(rèn)真閱讀文章首段首句

文章首段首句往往會(huì)告知文章的背景或是主題，掌握首段首句可以幫助我們確定文章接下來(lái)要談?wù)摰膬?nèi)容，做到心中有數(shù)，不至于理解錯(cuò)誤。如開(kāi)篇Millions of Americans are entering their 60s and are more concerned than ever about retirement. 這句話就告知我們這篇文章是談?wù)撁绹?guó)老齡人的退休問(wèn)題。如果大家通過(guò)首段首句不能確定文章主題，可以看一下首段全部?jī)?nèi)容或是各個(gè)自然段的首尾句。

二、閱讀選項(xiàng)，詞性分

我們先來(lái)看一下選項(xiàng)特點(diǎn)：

1、10個(gè)空格考察的全部是實(shí)詞

2.、詞性分配的基本比例: 3-4個(gè)名詞正確答案+1-2個(gè)名詞干擾答案;3-4個(gè)動(dòng)詞正確答案+1-2個(gè)動(dòng)詞干擾答案;2-3個(gè)形容詞正確答案+1個(gè)形容詞干擾答案;2-3個(gè)副詞正確答案+1個(gè)副詞干擾答案。

根據(jù)選線特點(diǎn)我們把選項(xiàng)中的單詞分為四類：動(dòng)詞、名詞、形容詞、副詞。

在這套題中的單詞四類為：

動(dòng)詞：assume, disagree, illustrating, observe, spoiling, underestimate

形容詞：confidential, forthcoming, optimistic

副詞：mysteriously, radically, separately

名詞：formula, package, reality

三、結(jié)合空格前后內(nèi)容，尋找線索

注意空格前后的結(jié)構(gòu)和搭配，在選詞時(shí)，要保證所選的詞的詞性、單復(fù)數(shù)、時(shí)態(tài)和意義均符合文章上下文要求，從而保證文章前后通順、流暢。同時(shí)在做題過(guò)程中可以先確定自己比較有把握的單詞，這樣通過(guò)排除法逐漸減少備選詞匯。

四、重讀全文，查漏補(bǔ)缺，核實(shí)答案

選擇完成后，考生如果有時(shí)間可以核查全文，重點(diǎn)看不確定的單詞是否選擇合理。如果沒(méi)有時(shí)間，大家就只需看自己做題時(shí)把握不大的單詞，并根據(jù)文章進(jìn)行推敲核實(shí)。

以上是關(guān)于英語(yǔ)六級(jí)考試中選詞填空這一題型同學(xué)們需要掌握的解題步驟。大家在平時(shí)練習(xí)時(shí)，要注意運(yùn)用這些技巧進(jìn)行解題，這樣你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)選詞填空還是很容易拿分的。
