贡献四级辅导之—完形填空_英语四六级

考试一天天临近了，这一个学期真是日夜兼程啊。我想在冲刺时为大家尽一份力，就用自己教与学中最真切的体会吧，希望能对大家有所帮助。祝大家成功！

　　今天先来讲一讲完形填空。完形填空最早是由英国学者泰勒(Taylor)根据格式塔心理学的原理所设计的。格式塔心理学家认为，人们观察物体形状时，往往会无意识地把物体看成是完整的，即使形状中有空缺也会填补上去。人在阅读过程中将空缺的词语填补上去，也是同样的道理。我们在做完形填空的时候就要特别注意，文章是一个有机的整体——我们千万不能割裂上下文的联系啊。

　　具体方法如下(适合自己的就是好方法，此法仅供参考)：

　　1) 先通读一遍全文，抓住文章的大意(main idea)或称中心思想(controlling idea)——这一思想一般包含在由段首主题句、段尾结束语以及各种重复出现的词语交织而成的信息网之中。对于与上下文关系很小的句内题，如大多数语法和一些词汇搭配题，可边读边填。

　　2) 对于需要推敲的选择项，一定要紧密联系上下文，从多方面仔细推敲，尤其是大多数词汇辨析考题，在分析词汇间差别的时候，还应该充分考虑上下文构造的语境。

　　3) 完成填空后，应再读一遍文章，检查还原的文章是否完整、合理、流畅。

　　心得体会：

　　1) 考试中对几遍来做并无严格限定，实际上是变速跑，有的地方快，有的地方慢——一切尽在掌握之中。大家对时间应非常敏感，实际上在考前这个时间表大家就该琢磨多遍了。总时间一般建议连填涂答题卡在12-13分钟，为阅读省下2-3分钟左右为宜。词汇再为阅读省下4-5分钟，这样阅读就肯定能保证40分钟(注意各题目交接有时间损耗)，就比较理想了。

　　2) 文章中间的中心思想一旦抓住，大家肯定有势如破竹的感觉。因为连贯(coherence)是无处不在的——我们现在说的coherence通常包括cohesion(词汇意义上的连结)和狭义的coherence(意义层面上的连贯)。所以有许多词直接奉送给大家就不足为奇了(但有的离得很远喔)，还有的虽没有原词奉送，却是反义词或近义词或相关词汇的情形，就举不胜举了。

　　绝技传授：

　　许多专业英语的完形测试是没有选项的，难度很高——这给我们的启示很大。完形的难度低于阅读，与语法、词汇、阅读和写作都有千丝万缕的联系。我们可以先想一个词填在空中，然后再看选项比对，若有当然毫不犹豫地拿下；如无，取同义词或近义词即可。不要真接看选项——即使我们想不到一个好词，大多数情况下也可构拟出汉语意思。长此以往，对个人语感的培养有大的好处。大家不妨一试。

　　Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. _ 71 _ a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the _ 72 _ in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The _ 73 _ student is considered to be _ 74 _ who is motivated (激发) to learn for the sake of _ 75 _, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned _ 76 _ brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the students is _ 77 _ for learning the material assigned. When research is _ 78 _, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with _ 79 _ guidance. It is the _ 80 _ responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain _ 81 _ a university library works; they expect students, _ 82 _ graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference _ 83 _ in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but _ 84 _ that their students not be _ 85 _ dependent on them. In the United States, professors have many other duties _ 86 _ teaching, such as administrative or research work. _ 87 _ the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is _ 88 _. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either _ 89 _ a professor during office hours _ 90 _ make an appointment.

　　本文是单段文章，首句即揭示了文章的核心思想——许多老师认为学习的责任在于学生。只要抓住了这一点，这篇文章的问题立即次第解开。

　　71题首选after或when，当然没有选if亦可。72题首选content，没有选information当然可以。不可选context，那是理解的依据，而非目的。73从句中motivated推知自然是good，当然ideal更好。74是代指单数名词的代词，应是one；句中后半立即验证。75题一想就知不是grades(或marks、scores之类，美国大学多不给具体分数，而是打出等级，最高是A+)，看选项立即想出原来是learning，是为了学习。76从与后半句对比立即得出with。77对照文章首句立即可得答案，看选项对比排除亦可。78看上句最后一词便知。79看后有说no的冲动，立即感觉有点绝对，改为little，一看选项立即选取中minimum。82表递进，自然是especially，一看选项，选同义词particularly。83注意source与origin(有的辅导书解释欠妥)，source类比于fountain，origin是指遥远时空的起源，如The origin of this custom is unknown. 我们注意到selections和collections面都太窄了。84选个与suggest属一类的后面引起宾语从句其中用虚拟语气的情形，看选项非prefer莫属。85选too，表嫌其过分，语气正好恰合。86教授自然要教学，当选besides。87表因果，首选consequently，没有次选therefore亦可。88除教学外，还要管行政、搞研究，时间自然是有限的(limited)。89首选consult，次选contact，看选项没有选approach也非常好，居然有annoy晕倒。90题中or与前面的either连用。

　　此篇一气呵成，上下文联系极强。此中解题方面颇多，不一而足。多处选项在设计时为调整难度本来就有不少近义词的置换，在此问题上大家对词汇的敏感度要下点功夫喔，这与阅读中的置换原则有关系啊。
