完形填空词汇
六级考试完形填空部分考点具有以下特征:首先是词汇考查,着重考查考生的词汇辨析能力,选项中往往会出现一些相似易混的单词,其中最常考查的是同义词、近义词、反义词和形近词这四种辨析。其次是语法考查,着重考查考生对于高中曾经学习过的几种常见的语法,考查比较多的是时间状语从句、定语从句、方式状语从句、让步状语从句等。再次是阅读能力的考查。因此,词汇仍然是完形填空部分的基本功。
本章列举了2005年至2011年六级考试真题的完形填空考题,汇集每条考题的四个选项里的词汇,以正确选项为首进行排列。这样的安排首先有利于考生对于相近的词汇,如形近词汇、意近词汇、音近词汇等进行直观的比较,从而能够进行更为深刻有效的记忆。同时,对于考查的词语搭配问题,考生也会通过四个选项的比较产生更为深刻的印象。由于所列的词汇都有真题的上下文,有利于培养考生从上下文中思考的习惯。英语是强调结构的语言,只有正确地理解句子的含义和上下文之间的逻辑关系,才能在完形填空的题目中得出正确的选项。
完形填空部分词汇的学习,建议考生分三步走。首先,充分了解所列词条的基本含义,进行细致的比较,熟悉形近词、音近词、意近词的相似点和不同点。其次,将所列词条放入需要填充的上下文中,分析搭配关系,分析句子含义,分析上下文逻辑关系,确定能够理解选择正确选项的根据。最后,将正确选项放入空格中,进行整体句子的阅读和解构,充分了解词语的上下文搭配情况,如动词搭配的宾语,动词所接的连接词等等,这样,对于词语的了解就不会仅仅限于词语本身,而是“见树又见林”,有整体理解驾驭的能力。
