 For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In__1__ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend __2__ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are __3__ readers. Most of us develop poor reading __4__ at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency __5__ in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have __6__ meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. __7__ , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to __8__ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over __9__ you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which __10__ down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as __11__ reads.
  To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an __12__ , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate __13__ the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, __14__ word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first __15__ is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, __16__ your comprehension will improve. Many people have found __17__ reading skill drastically improved after some training. __18__ Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute __19__ the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can __20__ a lot more reading material in a short period of time.

  第四篇答案+解说

  1.【答案】D
  【解析】本句意思是“谁如果想谋得一份差事”。applying需加for,意思是“申请”;B.doing做;C.offering提供此三项均不符题意, 只有D.getting(获得)适合。
  2.【答案】A
  【解析】本句意为“快速阅读与理解的能力,是关系到成败的关键所在”只有quickly与原意吻合。easily(容易地);roughly (粗略地); decidedly(果断地)均与原文内容不符。
  3.【答案】C
  【解析】英语中,阅读速度快的人称为good reader,反之,就是poor reader。根据上下文的内容,多数人都属于poor reader,因此选poor(差的)。其它选项不妥。
  4.【答案】B
  【解析】此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成看书慢的习惯”因此选habits(习惯)。training (训练,培训);situations(形势);custom(风俗习惯)。
  5.【答案】A
  【解析】此处说的是“主要的困难在于语言的自身要素,即单词”。combines联合;touches接触;involves包括,这三项的词义与原文不符。而lies与in构成搭配,意为“在于”。
  6.【答案】C
  【解析】这里的意思是“如果单个地看这些字,它们并没有什么意义”。some有点;A lot许多;dull单调的。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词,合乎逻辑。
  7.【答案】D
  【解析】此句意为“作者对未受过阅读训练的人的不良习惯感到遗憾”。
  Fortunately幸运地;In fact事实上;Logically合乎逻辑地,均不妥。
  Unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句义。
  8.【答案】B
  【解析】此句意为“在阅读时经常重读(反复读)”因此,选reread重读。reuse再使用;Rewrite改写;recite背诵。
  9.【答案】A
  【解析】此处所填的词既是look back over的宾语,又是you have just read的宾语,只有what能充当这种双重成分。
  10.【答案】C
  【解析】scales down按比例减少;cuts down削减;此两项不合题意。
  measures不能与down搭配。只有slow与down搭配的意思“放慢”,在此合适。
  11.【答案】B
  【解析】本段前文已经出现you,在此选one(泛指人们,我们,你)来代替you。some one无此用法。如果用reader,前面应加定冠词。he不能与该段逻辑一致。
  12.【答案】A
  【解析】此句意为“训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关”,因此选accelerator (快读器)。actor演员;amplifier放大器;observer观察者。
  13.【答案】D
  【解析】前面的faster决定了应当选than,构成比较级。
  14.【答案】C
  【解析】此句意为“快速阅读器迫使你加快阅读速度,使你再也不能逐字阅读,回顾前文内容或者默读”。enabling相当于making possible;leading引导;indicating指出,表明。都不合题意。只有making (使,使得)最合适。
  15.【答案】B
  【解析】这里的意思是“速读最初会影响理解”,所以选comprehension(理解力)。meaning意义,意思,指词或词组表示的意义;gist大意,要旨regression回顾
  16.【答案】A
  【解析】与前半句中的not only相呼应,构成句式“不仅……,而且……”,只有选but,而nor;or或for均不能构成固定用法。
  17.【答案】C
  【解析】本句中的主语是第三人称复数,物主代词必然是their。
  18.【答案】B
  【解析】take与后面的for instance构成短语,意为:“以……例”,其它三项不能构成搭配。
  19.【答案】D
  【解析】这里提到受训之前与受训之后进行比较,对比,因此选before。
  20.【答案】D
  【解析】此处意为:在较短时间内,读完众多的材料。master掌握;go over复习;present呈现,展现;此三项均不妥;只有get through (读完)最恰当。

When I left, I 15 had enough money of my own to be able to 16 my first trip and I have been going 17 ever since then.

 答案及解析
  1.【答案】A
  【解析】根据下一句及随后的内容,作者讲的是怎样成为动物爱好者的(从小就喜欢动物),应当选择A.how。
  2.【答案】C
  【解析】in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”。此句意思是:别人经常问到的问题之一,是当初我是如何爱上动物的。
  3.【答案】A
  【解析】这句话的意思是:作者在呀呀学语之时,最早发清楚的音是“zoo”(动物园),而不是“妈妈”,“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清晰”。填入其他选项emotion (感情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友爱)不合逻辑。
  4.【答案】B
  【解析】but在此处连接另一个句子(it was the word“zoo”,“it was”被省略),表示转折,意为“而是”,Except, except for, but for的用法接近,表示“除了……”。
  例如:
  We go there every day except Sunday.
  He answered all the questions except for the last one.
  For a year the dam remained complete but for the generators.
  从意思上,逻辑上,都应当选but。
  5.【答案】D
  【解析】根据后面的over and over again,应选“repeat”
  6.【答案】C
  【解析】小孩想去动物园,便不停地发出尖叫声,故选“voice”。A shrill voice与scream的意思接近。volume(音量);noise(噪音);pitch(音调)均不合要求。
  7.【答案】B
  【解析】shut sb.up是指让某人住口,为了让孩子停止尖叫,只好带他去动物园。
  8.【答案】A
  【解析】根据后面主句的时态,此处只能用一般过去时。
  9.【答案】C
  【解析】a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式;a great / large amount of后跟不可数名词;只有a great /large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式。
  例如:
  I read a great many English books.
  A large amount of money is spent on tobacco every year.
  A great number of civilians were murdered in cold blood.
  10.【答案】D
  【解析】living后必须接介词in,意为“居住”;cultivating耕种;reclaiming开垦;只有exploring有探察的意思。
  11.【答案】C
  【解析】add to相当于increase,增加。其余选项后面都不接to。
  12.【答案】A
  【解析】later on为固定短语,“后来”。
  13.【答案】D
  【解析】attendant仆人;keeper可理解为“饲养员”,但是a student keeper容易被误解为“收留学生的人”;aide有“助手”之义。作者一边上学,一边在动物园里打工,只能当助手。
  14.【答案】D
  【解析】which在此引导定语从句,修饰前面列出的动物。
  15.【答案】D
  【解析】因为钱是在动物园打工挣的,选successfully更能体现其含义。
  16.【答案】D
  【解析】finance my first trip意为“支付我的旅行
  费用”;pay后应接介词for;其他选项的意思相差甚远。
  17.【答案】B
  【解析】此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly比较贴切。
  18.【答案】D
  【解析】此句是由though引导的让步状语从句,应与主句意思相对立。选项中,sorrows和disappointments与主句的appeal to相对立,但sorrows的分量太重。
  19.【答案】C
  【解析】appeal to为成语,意思是“吸引”。
  20.【答案】B
  【解析】excursion短途旅行;journey(从一地到另一地的)长距离,具体的旅途;travel旅行,旅游,海外旅行;trip旅行,远足。

根据下文内容,作者讲的是怎样成为动物爱好者的(从小就喜欢动物),应当选择how。
2. 【答案】C
in the first place是固定短语,意思是“首先”,相当于 for the first time。此句意思是:别人经常问到的问题之一,是当初我是如何爱上动物的。
3.【答案】A
这句话的意思是:作者在牙牙学语之 时,最早发清楚的音是“zoo”(动物园),而不是“妈妈”,“爸爸”,因此,应选clarity“清晰”。填入其他选项emotion(感 情),sentiment(多愁善感),affection(友爱)不合逻辑。

4.【答案】B
but在此处连接另一个句 子(it was the word“zoo”,“it was”被省略),表示转折,意为“而是”,except,except for,but for的用法接近,表示“除了……”,没有转折意义。
5.【答案】D
根据后面的over and over again,应选repeat重复。recite 背诵,recognize认出。
6.【答案】C
小孩想去动物园,便不停地发出 尖叫声,故选“voice(嗓音)”。A shrill(兴奋的)voice与scream的意思接近。volume(音量),noise(噪音),pitch(音调)均不合要求。
7.【答案】B
根据上下文,此句的意思是:让孩子停止尖叫,只好带他去动物园。shut sb.up是指让某人住口;comfort 安慰。所以选B。
8.【答案】A
分析此句。后面主句是一般过去时,此处只能用一般过去时。
9.【答案】C
a great many后直接跟可数名词的复数形式;a great/large amount of后跟不可数名词;只有a great/large number of后可以跟可数名词的复数形式。
10.【答案】D
分析此句,此空表示探索的含义。 living后必须接介词in,意为“居住”;cultivating耕种;reclaiming开垦;只有exploring有探索的意思。
11.【答案】C
add to相当于increase,增加。其余选项后面都不接to,enrich 使……丰富。
12.【答 案】A
本题考查近义词用法。later on为固定短语,“后来”;subsequently 后来地,随后地。
13.【答案】 D
attendant仆人;keeper可理解为“饲养员”;aide有“助手”之义。作者一边上学,一边在动物园里打工,只能当助手。
14.【答案】D
分析句子语法结构。which在此引导定语从句,修饰前面列出的动物。
15.【答案】D
根据句子 所表达的含义,因为打工挣足了钱,选successfully更能体现其含义。
16.【答案】D
finance my first trip意为“支付我的旅行费用”;pay后应接介词for;provide提供;allow允许 。
17.【答案】B
分析句子语法结构,此句为现在完成进行时态,选regularly(有规律地)比较贴切;normally正常地。
18.【答案】D
分析此句,此空与上文的not an easy one构成并列关系。expectations期望;sorrows悲伤;excitement兴奋;disappointments失望。所以选D更贴 切。
19.【答案】C  本题考查固定搭配。appeal to为成语,意思是“吸引”。
20.【答案】B
excursion短途旅行;journey(从一地到另一地的)长距离,具体的旅途;travel泛指旅行,旅游;trip旅行,远足。根据上下文,该 句意为“尽管工作充满了失望,还是吸引了热爱动物和旅行的人”。所以选B。

  训练二
Methods of studying vary; what works 1 for some students doesn’t work at all for others. The only thing you can do is experiment 2 you find a system that does work for you.

The hint is “don’t get 5 ”.The problem of studying, 6 enough to start with, becomes almost 7 when you are trying to do three 8 in one weekend. 9 the fastest readers have trouble 10 that. And if you are behind in written work that must be 11 , the teacher who accepts it 12 late will probably not give you good credit. Perhaps he may not accept it 13 . Getting behind in one class because you are spending so much time on another is really no 14 . Feeling pretty virtuous about the seven hours you spend on chemistry won’t 15 one bit if the history teacher pops a quiz. And many freshmen do get into trouble by spending too much time on one class at the 16 of the others, either because they like one class much better or because they find it so much harder that they think, they should 17 all their time to it. 18 the reason, going the whole work for one class and neglecting the rest of them is a mistake, if you face this 19 , begin with the shortest and easiest 20 .

18. A Whichever B Whatever C However D Wherever
19. A attraction B decision C temptation D dilemma
20. A arrangements B way C assignments D class
答案与解析
1.【答案】D
well是副词,good是形容词,不能修饰动词work,所以A不可。此处要与后面的 doesn’t work at all形成对比,sufficiently 不够细心。
2.【答案】A
根据上下文,此句的意思 是“你一直进行尝试,直到找到适合自己的学习方法”。因而此处的连词要表达“直到”的意思。
3.【答案】B
分析此句,线索是空格 后的else,两个词连起来表示“(除了你自己),别的任何人都不能……”。
4.【答案】D
根据同义词复现原则,此处与前文的 work同义,work表示起作用的意思。
5.【答案】A
get(fall, be)behind等都表示落后的意思,根据上下文,显然是说,我们在学习上不要落后。
6.【答案】C
此处要求填一个形容 词,hardly为副词,意为“几乎不,可排除”。又根据上下文,可以理解出这句话的意思应该是:学习的问题是,一开始的时候是非常难的,而当你想在一周 内完成三周的事情时则变得几乎是不可能的。这时谈的是难度的问题,因此选其他的答案是不合适的。如果直接解此题有困难,可以先做后面的题。
7.【答案】C
根据从句中的意思来判断本题的答案。要在一周内做三周的事,毫无疑问,应当说这是几乎不可能的。
8.【答案】 C
表面考的是所有格的用法,实际上考的是名词的数。“三周”肯定是复数,week必须是复数形式;work是不可数名词。答案就一目了然了。
9.【答案】 A
本题考查的是篇章词汇。解题也有两种方法。第一种方法从篇章的角度着手,承接上面一段,说的是学习的困难,在这里显然是说 “即使”是读得最快的人也有困难,选A顺理成章。第二种方法从句法着手。这是一个简单句,显然不能填连词和介词,C、D明显错误。单就本句来说,选 almost也是不能的。
10.【答案】B
本题考查固定搭配。 have trouble(in)doing sth.表示做某事有困难。
11.【答案】A
本题考查固定搭配。turn in 的意思是“交上去,上交”;turn up 出现;turn out出来,结果是;give in 让步。
12.【答案】 D
根据上下文,此处表示“过晚”之意,用too。
13.【答案】C
本题考查固定用法。not…at all,一点也不。
14.【答案】D
这一句及其下一句是说因为 你在别的科花的时间太多而在另一科落后,前者不是后者的理由。所以此处要选表示“借口、理由”意思的词,即excuse。solution解决方 法;method方法,途径。
15.【答案】A
分析此句,此空表示笼统的“有用”的意思,可使用动词help。 encourage 鼓励;assist 协助;improve提高,改善。
16.【答案】 A
本题考查固定搭配。 at the expense of的意思是“以……为代价”。
17.【答案】A
本题考查固定搭配。devote…to是一个固定搭 配。
18.【答案】B
分析此句,此空后面是名词reason,所以答案只能在A,B里选择。其他两项不能接名词。根据句意,表示 “无论理由是什么”,所以选B。
19.【答案】C
分析此句,前面所说的明显是一种诱惑,所以要选temptation。 attraction 吸引;decision决定;dilemma窘境,困境。
20.【答案】D
分析上下文,前文说的是上某课 的事,所以选class。arrangements安排;assignments 指派的职责或任务。

第二部分 完形填空——高分妙招
1. 利用文章中心主题句解题法

完形文章一般都具有一条非常 明确的中心主线,各个段落紧紧围绕着中心主线展开,布局紧凑。因此理论上,正确的选项一定是紧扣文章主题和中心主线的。故而,与中心主线无关的选项基本上 排除在正确答案以外。
【真题】Why do Americans display such 75 in a public place? (2002.1)
75. A.attraction B.attention C.affection D.motion
【分 析】本段谈论的是作者在电影院里的一次不愉快的经历,坐在他面前的两个人亲昵的举止影响了他欣赏电影,所以才发出这样的感叹:美国人为什么在大庭广众之下 会表现出这样的____?四个选项中的B.attention“关注,注意力” 和D.motion“运动,移动,手势”显然都与这个主题不相关;而选项A.attraction“吸引力”此处与作者的感受正好相反,他是被干扰了,而 不是被吸引了。故答案为C. affection “柔情,温柔”。
  2. 利用上下文寻找解题信息
由于完形填空的文章是一个意义相关联的语篇,围绕一个话题论述,因此在行文中词语的重复、替代、复现和同现现象是不可避免的。根据这个原则,某一个空格 所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现或同现的相关词,考生可以根据这些词之间的有机联系来确定答案。所以,解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索,如某一个词 的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章,因此,在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相 关信息的能力。
【真题】72 While mini-cars and luxury foreign brands are still popular, everything in between is 73 . Last year sales fell 6.7 percent, 7.6 percent 74 if you don’t count the mini-car market. (2009. 6)
73.A surging B stretching C slipping D shaking
【分析】根据下文中介绍去年的销售额下降 6.7%和7.6%,可以判断此空也涉及销售额的下降问题,故选C项slipping“下跌,减退,滑倒”,其他选项均为干扰项。
3. 利用文章结构及语篇逻辑关系
只有明白文章结构,了解各段落之间的关系,才能加深对文章的理解。明白了各部分是如何为表现 主题思想服务的,也就更容易把握带空的句子所需要的是什么内容,因此就更容易选准答案了。这要求考生具有扎实的英语词组、短语、习惯用法等英语搭配的知 识,这对于理解文章的逻辑关系特别有利。文章的逻辑关系不外乎列举、原因、结果、让步、对照、补充、目的、条件等关系。
【真题】“It’s not inconvenient at all,” he says. 69 , “having a car is so 20th century.” (2009.6)
69.A Therefore B Besides C Otherwise D Consequently
【分析】根据上下文,It’s not inconvenient at all与having a car is so 20th century可构成递进关系,所以选B项,表示此外,而且的意思,其他选项均与前后两句话之间的链接关系不符。
4. 语言知识及搭配关系解题法
做题时应注意文章中的搭配:
逻辑搭配:包括过渡词、连接手段、指代关系、肯定、否 定等;
语义搭配:包括区别同义词、近义词、反义词、形近异义词、同形异义词;
结构搭配:指名词、动词、形容词等在句中或文中与其 他词的搭配;
惯用搭配:即通常所说的固定短语。
【真题】 71 one sense, the effect of a consumer’s mood can be thought of in 72 the same way as can our reactions to the 73 behavior of our friends.(2007.12)
71. A On B In C Of D By
72. A thus B much C even D still
【分析】71、72题考查习惯用法。 in one sense,从某种意义上说、在某种意义上。72题中much the same几乎相同,主要考察 the same way的修饰成分。其他项不能修饰the same。
5. 背景知识和社会常识解题法
解答完形填空题时,有时文章中提供的信息还 不够,还需要考生把符合常识的一些知识信息结合起来考虑,最后选出符合常识的最佳答案。因此,考生的知识范围越广,对文章的理解就越容易,整体上知道所选 短文在说什么,那么局部上的每一个空填起来也会得心应手。
【真题】It took some 75,000 lives, _ 67 _ 13,000 and left nearly 3.5 million without food, jobs, or homes.(2007.6)
67. A injured B ruined C destroyed D damaged
【分析】考生的生活经验足以在此时起到帮助预 测内容表达发展方向的作用,在获得有关死亡人数的之后,自然会提到伤者,因此自然能够选出正确答案injured。
6. 综合运用各种线索  如果不能很有把握地直接看出某一道题的答案,可以把排除法和词汇、语法分析结合起来运用,从而缩小选择的范围,提高答题准确率。这种 情况有以下几种:
(1)从时态、语态、语气、名词的数等各个角度分析所填内容是否与上下文一致
(2)从而排除一些备选答案,缩小 选择范围;
(3)分析空白处与前后词之间的语义关联、搭配关系,从而排除一些选项;
弄清楚该题的句法关系,分析一下它是简单句、 并列句,还是复合句;
(4)判断所填的内容在句中充当什么成分,应是什么词性,并分析备选答案之间的异同,从而排除干扰项选出正确答案。
【真题】Language is a means of communication, __68__ is much more than that. (2006.12)
68. A. so B. but C. or D. for
【分析】考生需要正确理解more than 这个比较结构的含义、代词that的指代对象,以及和前句之间形成的逻辑发展方向,才能正确选出答案。

第二部分 完形填空——真题评析与提高
2009年12月四级完形真题
Older people must be given more chances to learn if they are to contribute to society rather than be a financial burden, according to a new study on population published recently.www.Examda.CoM考试就到考试大
The current approach which 67 on younger people and on skills for employment is not 68 to meet the challenge of demographic (人口结构的) change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is 69 spent on the oldest of the population.
The 70 include the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in 71 ,that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and 11.3 million people are 72 state pension age.
“ 73 needs to continue throughout life. Our historic concentration of policy attention and resources 74 young people cannot meet the new 75 ” says the report’s author. Professor Stephen.
The major 76 of our education budget is spent on people below the age of 25. 77 people are changing their jobs, 78 , partners and lifestyles more often than 79 , they need opportunities to learn at every age 80 .some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.
People need opportunities to make a “midlife review” to 81 to the later stage of employed life and to plan for the transition (过渡) 82 retirement, which may now happen 83 at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair.
And there should be more money 84 to support people in establishing a 85 of identity and finding constructive 86 for the “ third age”, the 20 or more years they will spend in healthy retired life.

  【解题步骤】
(一)速读全文,把握大意,粗选答案。
1.速读全文,首先判断本次完形填空属于论说文体,首段没有空格, 它往往就是文章的中心,它体现的观点往往决定了全文的观点。从本文首段可以看出作者重点论述对于年纪大一些的人的教育和再学习的问题。又根据每一段首句提 供的信息,可以判断本文的主题为教育。阐述了教育对于每个阶段的人的重要性和终身学习的意义。
2.顺手牵羊,粗选答案。www.Examda.CoM考试就到考试大
75. 在四个选项中,meet the new need表示“满足新的需要”,desire愿望,欲望;realm界,领域,范围; intention意图,意向,目的。均不能与meet搭配。所以只有B项正确。
76. 在四个选项中,与education buget只有portion,所以此句的主语构成“教育预算的大部分”。【语境词汇题】
79. more often than ever“很频繁地,比以往任何时候都”。【固定搭配题】
82. transition名词,表示过渡,转变,变迁。常用的搭配transition (from sth.) (to sth.)表示从……过渡到……【固定搭配题】
85. a sense of identity “自我认同感”,是固定搭配。【固定搭配题】
(二)逐句细读,答易留难,各个击破。
67. B)。本题四个选项都可以与on连用,比较难选择,留到最后仔细考虑。【语境词汇题】
68. D)。分析此句,主语中心词approach”方式”,这句话主干表达的意思为“现在这种方式不足以适应挑战。”,所以选项中只有D项符合此义要求,其他 选项均与此义相去甚远。【语境词汇题】
难点点拨 干扰选项是C项,essential这个单词看起来难度很大,意思是“重要的,必要的”,很多考生一看见这个词认为这个答案可能就是它,具有很大的迷惑 性,根据句意,只有D项符合句意要求。
69. A)。根据复现原则,本段句首出现形容词current表示“现在的,现行的”,此题选项中currently副词表示“如今,当下”,所以此选项很可能 就是A项,根据句子表达的意思以及上下文语义逻辑关系,只有A项正确。【语境词汇题】
70.C)。此题有一定的迷惑性,这个迷惑性出现在B项 和C项,B项是表示“障碍”,C项“挑战”。根据原词复现原则,上一段中出现名词challenge”挑战”,此题选项中出现challenges, 所以此选项很可能就是C项。而且从含义上来说,接下来这一段所讲的三点内容也不属于具体的障碍,只是说我们面临的一个挑战,面临的问题,所以我们这里面要 选C。【语境词汇题】
71. B)。根据原词复现原则,由于第一段讲到了老年人在结束他们的工作生涯之后退休的问题上,所以后文必然会提到一个关于退休的问法,文章内部反复出现的反复 提示,如employment, employed life, pension age等等,在82题后又出现retirement原词。分析此句,本句the fact后面有三个并列的同位语从句结构,这且这三个事实又是人口结构变化中面临的挑战,所以此题很容易淘汰A,C两项,D项inability名词,表 示“无力,无能, 无技术”,B项“退休”,人们生命的三分之一的时间是“退休”而不是“无能力”,所以正确答案是B项。【语境词汇题】
72.A)。本题考查介词的用法,在做题时始终要想着“这一事实是人口结构变化中遇到的挑战”,所以此部分1130万人是达到或超过享受国家养老金的年 龄,所有只能使用over。【语法结构题】
73.B)。根据原词复现原则,在第一段就提到了learn动词“学习”这一词,此题选项中 learning动名词“学习”,并且文中多次强调人们在各个年龄段学习的重要性,所以B项很可能是正确答案,根据此句要表达的意思“学习要持续人的一 生”,此处选B项。迷惑的选项是C项instructing动名词“教育,指导”,不符合句意要求。【语境词汇题】
74. D)。此句中含有两个空,先做75题在做此题。分析此句,主语中心词是concerntration名词“集中,专心,专注”,其常用的结构为 concerntration on sth.表示“专注于……,集中于……”。【固定搭配题】
75. C)。此题可以在顺手牵羊这一步骤中解答。【语境词汇题】
76. D)。此题可以在顺手牵羊这一步骤中解答。【语境词汇题】
77. A)。本句含有三个空,先做79和78题,再来做此题。【逻辑推理题】
78. C)。分析此部分,此空与jobs “工作”, partners “伴侣或者伙伴”和lifestyles “生活方式”构成并列结构,所以这里面比较可能的选项就是C,家庭,这里面表示大家这些都是倾向是不断在变化的,不像以前可能是一成不变的。这里面是选 C。【语境词汇题】
79. B)。此题可以在顺手牵羊这一步骤中解答。【固定搭配题】
80. A)。根据后面的句子的意思“人们在五十岁或者五十多岁的时候开创新的事业”,另外联系上文,此句是对上文的举例说明,所以选A项。【逻辑推理题】
81. C)。本句含有三个空,先做82,83题,再来做此题。根据句意要求,此处表示“适应”的意思,而suit是及物动词,后面要接宾语。所以此题选C项。 【语境词汇题】
难点点拨 各选项的用法如下:transform into将……改成; yield to服从,屈服于; adjust to适应……; suit sth. to sth./sb. 使某事物适合某事物/某人。
82. D)。此题可以在顺手牵羊这一步骤中解答。【固定搭配题】
83. B)。由于本句句式比较复杂,所以很难进行选择,需要首先确定84题的答案再解答此题。【逻辑推理题】
84. C)。reliabble可靠的;considerable相当大/多的;available可用的,可得到的,feasible可行的,可能的,此空是 对“钱”的修饰,所以只有B,C两个选项能与之搭配,另外句子此部分的意思为“应该得到更多的钱”,此空强调“可得到的”而不是对钱的多少的描述,所以选 C项。【语境词汇题】
85. A)。此题可以在顺手牵羊这一步骤中解答。【固定搭配题】
86. D)。根据此句要表达的意思“它除了帮助人们建立一个自我意识之外,还要帮助人们来寻找对于第三阶段退休生活的一个更有建树性的角色感”,只有role表 示“角色”的含义。这里面应该选D项。【语境词汇题】
(三)通览全文,复查验收。
本文较难的是第67题和第77题。基本做完题之 后再重新审核每一个答案是否正确,重点是在顺手牵羊这一步骤中做的题。
67. 本句中有两个空,所以要读完全句再做题。首先四个选项都可以与介词on连用,operate on sb.动手术,开刀; count on依靠,指望; focus on以……为焦点,集中于; depend on 依靠,依赖。分析此句,approach后面引导的定语从句,根据句子表达意思,“现在这种关注年轻人和雇佣技术的方式”,所以答案是B。【语境词汇题】
77. 做完79题之后,根据本句的语义逻辑关系,“当人们的工作、家庭、合作伙伴和生活方式的比以往任何时候都更换频繁时,他们更需要在每个年龄段有学习的机 会”,所以选A项。【逻辑推理题】
【全文精译】
最近关于人口的一项新研究表明,如果老年人还想为社会再做贡献,而不是成为社会的 负担,他们需要更多的机会去学习。
据说我们既有的这种关注年轻人以及就业技能的方式已经不足以使我们应对现在面临的人口结构变化的挑战。花在 占人口三分之一的老年人上面的教育经费仅占到了整体经费的1%。
这个挑战包括大多数人一生中的三分之一的时间是退休时间,现在有更多的超过 59岁和不满16岁的人,以及1130万人达到享受国家养老金的年龄。
Stephen McNair教授,也就是报告的作者,说:“学习需要持续一生的时间。政策焦点和资源有史以来都在关注年轻人,这不能满足新的需要。”
我们教 育预算的大部分经费都花在不满25岁的人身上。当人们的工作、家庭、合作伙伴和生活方式的换比以往任何时候都更频繁时,他们更需要在每个年龄段有学习的机 会。例如,一些人在50多岁或者更晚的时候才开始新的职业。
人们要有“中年回顾”的机会,从而适应受雇生活的后期阶段,为自己过度到退休阶段 做好准备。现在这可能在50岁到90多岁的任何时间发生。
应该投入更多的钱用于帮助人们建立自我意识,还要帮助人们来寻找对于第三阶段退休生 活的一个更有建树性的角色感,“第三阶段”也就是他们在健康的退休生活中度过的二十年或者更多的时间。
86. A) ranks B) assets C) ideals D) roles

完形填空——核心考点之语境词汇
1. 语境把握
语境线索是指上下文明示或暗示的信息、逻辑关系及语义关系。做这类题重要的是在选 择答案前认真通读上下文,不能只关注选择空项所在的句子。对以下三种语境的把握有助于选出正确答案。
(1)答案在选择空项上文之中。因此,做 这类题时,要“瞻前”。
【真题】An earthquake hit Kashmir on Oct. 8, 2005. It took some 75,000 lives, 67 130,000 and left nearly 3.5 million without food, jobs or homes. (2007.6)
67. A injured B ruined C destroyed D damaged
【分析】根据题意,空格前为死亡人数,It took some 75, 000 lives的意思是“地震造成了七万五千人死亡”;空格后为失业和无家可归的人数,因此根据文章的语境,空格处应是“受伤”一词,所以injured为正 确答案。
(2)答案在选择空项下文之中。因此,做这类题时,要“顾后”。
【真题】But today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the 72 that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to come. (2006.6)
72. A practice B outlook C idea D scheme
【分析】本题中that为关键词,其后的句子为同位语从句,且整句话表达了观点,所以选idea。
(3)答案在选择空项的上文和下文中都能找到。因此,做这类题时,要“瞻前顾后”。
【真题】72 While mini-cars and luxury foreign brands are still popular, everything in between is 73 . Last year sales fell 6.7 percent, 7.6 percent 74 if you don’t count the mini-car market. (2009. 06)
73 A surging B stretching C slipping D shaking
【分析】上文“While”和“still”表示转折,暗示选择空项需要与上文的“popular”形成对比;考生继续向下 读,根据下文中介绍去年的销售额下降6.7%和7.6%,可以判断此空也涉及销售额的下降问题,故选C项slipping“下跌,减退,滑倒”,其他选项 均为干扰项。
2. 词汇的复现关系
词汇的复现关系指的是某一词以原词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词、概括词或其他形式重复出 现在语篇中,语篇中的句子通过这种复现关系达到了相互衔接。可分为以下四类:原词复现、同义词或近义词复现、反义词复现和同源词复现。针对这一部分习题, 作者总结了常见的核心近义词和易混形近词。
(1)原词复现
有时为了表达的需求,在上下文中有同一概念词出现,可借此信息选出答 案。
【真题】The smokers ______a lot. In fact, the non-smokers who must breathe the air polluted by tobacco smoke may suffer more than the smokers themselves. (1991)
A. suffer B. endure C. tolerate D. bear
【分析】以上两个分句是对应的。第一个分句所缺的动词可以由第二个分句中的动词,即“suffer”来推测,前后动词一致,答案应该是A。
(2)同义词或近义词复现
同义词复现是指相同或相近的单词在原文中反复出现,以达到文章衔接的目的。在完型填空试题中,就可以利用这种衔接方 式找到要填入单词的同义词或者近义词,也就找到了试题的答案。这也包括了同源词复现,即相同词根构成的不同词性的单词在文章中反复出现。
【例 题】Wise buying is a positive way in which you can make your money go further. The way you go about an article or a service can actually…
A. reading B. purchasing C. browsing D. borrowing
【分析】要填入的单词 purchasing 是第一句buying 的同义词复现。
【例题】The researcher examined the dead bodies of the people who develop SARS. The ___ __is very important.
A. test B. quiz C. matriculation D. examination
【分析】要填入的单词 examination 是第一个句子谓语动词examine的同源词复现。
(3)反义词复现采集者退散
反义词复现是指和前文中词义相反的单词在原文中出现,以达到文章衔接的目的。
【例题】Forcing yourself to recall (almost) never helps because it doesn’t your memory; it only tightens it.
A. loosen B. weaken C. decrease  D. reduce
【分析】前后两部分互为解释,一 为肯定,一为否定,为反义复现。从下文的tighten可以判断,上文应该是选loosen。
3. 词汇的共现关系
词汇的共现关 系是指词汇共同出现的倾向性。即在一定的语篇中,围绕一定的主题的词汇可能同时出现,这种词的共现关系与语篇题材关系密切。据此我们可以删除掉一些与语篇 主题无关的选项,重点放在与主题相关的选项上。
【真题】For example, the rhythm, pitch, and 83 of music has been shown to influence behavior such as the 18 of time spent in supermarket… (2007.12)
83. A. step B. speed C. band D. volume
【分析】and连接并列成分,所填词需与rhythm“节奏”和pitch “音调”形成语义共现,用来描述music。四个选项中只有D项volume“音量”符合。
