选择填空新四级选择高分攻略（下）

三看习惯用法：固定搭配

Its effect was worldwide and it left more than 2,000 people dead and

caused over eight billion pounds 53 of damage.

此处考的是worth这个词的特殊用法。它本是一个形容词，但可用?worth of sth, 来表明价值某物的某东西。

III.总结

选择填空考的是猜测词义的能力，其核心在于通过各种线索来确定词性和意义，从而实现成功匹配。解题方法也相应产生。

先通过词的后缀等对选项进行合理的分类，分不出的可先模糊处理。

再通过文章逐一确定空格所需要的词性和意义。它需要看句子中此词所处的位置，它的周边环境。

有时甚至需要跳出此句，看前文或后文。如指代词/句间连词告诉我们要向前寻找;而段首的抽象表达可能要从下文找到钥匙。
