2014年6月英语四级考试的一大难点是选词填空,我们给各位同学整理了如何确定空格处词性的方法,根据选词填空中的常考词性:名词、动词、形容词及副词,我们来结合真题逐个分析讲解:
首先,名词的确定。
一般情况下,当文中出现a/an/the/adj./prep+. 的时候,空格处可以考虑填名词。例如:2013年12月的真题,首先我们把15个词进行分类:
名词: C,demand需求,要求; E,experience经验; G,graduates毕业生;H,operations运作,手术;L,tension紧张,张力; N,view观点,看法,景色
动词: B,applied适用,应用; C,demand要求,需求;F,explores,探索,探究;I,promote促进,提升; J,qualifies使合格,取得资格; M,trained训练,培训; N,view考虑,看待 O,worsens 恶化,变糟;
形容词:A,additional附加的,额外的; D,excessive过多的,极度的; K,specialized专业的,专门的;
Many students are recent; others are career switchers.
分析:根据语境意思,此处要填名词,那么我们从名词中选择,只有G选项是符合要求的。此题也比较简单,关键是考生要分清应填的词性。
其次,动词的确定。
动词的考察较多,主要有以下两种:
1.主语后面选择填谓语动词,例如:But as the nursing shortage, a growing number of schools and hospitals are establishing fast-track programs
解析:本句是as引导的原因状语从句,从句的主语是the nursing shortage,可以确定缺少谓语,此空应该填动词,而且是动词的单三形式,那么我们从动词栏中找只有F、J、O三个符合语法要求,然后根据上下文意思,空后意思是建立快速通道是针对护士短缺而采取的对策,此处应该是表达护士短缺现象变得恶化的意思,所以可以得出答案是O。
2.当文章中出现这样的结构:完整的句子,+名词/介词。逗号后面的部分是伴随状语,表状态或原因,应该考虑V-ing形式或V-ed的形式。
例如:The rainfall is increased across South America, ___ floods to Peru. 根据独立主格结构原则,应该填动词ing或动词ed,选项中只有bringing符合要求。从意思来看,bring带来与rainfall降雨之间是主动关系,即the rainfall brings floods,所以用bringing无论从意思上还是结构上都符合要求。
再次,形容词的确定。
当文章中出现a//some/the/the most/more +___+名词的结构时,横线处通常填形容词。
例如:The fast-track trend fills a need, but its also creating some between newcomers and veterans.
解析:根据空前some,空中考虑填名词。本句表达的意思是快速通道的趋势使新老客户之间产生了一些问题。可以从名词栏中选出意思最接近的选项应该是tension,其他的单词意思不符。
最后,副词的确定。
1.文章中出现一句完整的话+的时候,空格往往填副词。例如:
Today, we treat pain _____. 这句话有主语we,谓语treat,宾语pain,表达完整的意思,句尾判断应该填副词。正确答案是seriously。
2.当文章中出现主语 + ___ + 谓语的情况时,横线处通常填副词。例如:
In Arizona and Texas, bilingual students ____ outperform their peers in monolingual programs。主语是students,谓语是outperform,两者之间通常填副词。正确答案是consistently。
以上便是我们给各位同学准备的确定词性的技巧,希望大家认真巩固技巧并多加练习。
