1、这篇四级选词填空是2007年6月的四级考试真题，考生普遍反映很难，因为绝大多数的备选单词都不认识，这也是这种阅读题型成为中国四六级考生最崩溃的题型的最本质的和最无奈的原因。Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a normal part of life. In particular, when older patients 47_ of pain, they were told it was a natural part of aging and they would have to learn to live with it.Times ha
2、ve changed. Today, we take pain 48_. Indeed, pain is now considered the fifth vital sign, as important as blood pressure, temperature, breathing rate and pulse in 49_ a persons well-being. We know that chronic (慢性的) pain can disrupt (扰乱) a persons life, causing problems that 50_ from missed work to
3、depression.Thats why a growing number of hospitals now depend upon physicians who 51_ in pain medicine. Not only do we evaluate the cause of the pain, which can help us treat the pain better, but we also help provide comprehensive therapy for depression and other psychological and social 52_ related
4、 to chronic pain. Such comprehensive therapy often 53_ the work of social workers, psychiatrists (心理医生) and psychologists, as well as specialists in pain medicine.This modern 54_ for pain management has led to a wealth of innovative treatments which are more effective and with fewer side effects tha
5、n ever before. Decades ago, there were only a 55_ number of drugs available, and many of them caused 56_ side effects in older people, including dizziness and fatigue. This created a double-edged sword: the medications helped relieve the pain but caused other problems that could be worse than the pa
6、in itself.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答A) result B) involves C) significant D) range E) relieved F) issues G) seriously H) magnificent I) determining J) limited K) gravely L) complained M) respectN) promptingO) specialize第一步：把15个单词通过后缀进行词性分类，但是通常我的习惯是遇到动词进行二次分类：确定时态，确定单三还是非单三;遇到名词确定单数还是复数;我一直认为单词不认识不应该成为学生放弃选词填
7、空的原因，在做第一步之前我先把4级历年真题选词填空中出现频率最高的后缀全部列举出来：名词后缀：tion/sion/ness/ment/er/or/ist/ism形容词后缀：able/al/ant/ent/tive/sive/ous/less/ed/ing动词后缀:ate/lize/ing/ed副词后缀：ly/ward/wise在历年真题中只要出现ly一定为副词，这是频率。好，我们开始分类：名词单数：A) result结果 M) respect(尊重)可能的名词复数：F) issues B) involves动词原形： O) specialize M) respect(尊重)动词进行时：I) d
8、etermining决定，确定 N) prompting动词过去式：J) limited限制 L)complained抱怨 E) relieved可能的动词单三：B)involves F)issues形容词：C) significant H)magnificent J) limited有限的副词：G) seriously严肃的 K) gravely不能确定的：D)range第二步：回到原文确定空内应填入的词性、单复数形式、动词时态以及其他语法现象。具体怎么操作，我会在接下来第三步解题的时候具体讲解。第三步：具体分析，重点打击，先易后难。怎么操作?我现在开始讲解：具体解法：47题： when o
9、lder patients _47_ of pain，前面是patients为复数名词，后面是of，确定应填入一个动词;后半句为they were told告诉我们填入过去时动词，满足此题的单词分别是：J) limited L)complained E)relieved，根据本句中的pain(痛苦)，确定L)complained(抱怨)与pain(痛苦)的感情方向一致。48题：前面是we take pain _48_，确定应填入副词来修饰take，满足的单词有G) seriously严肃的K) gravely，由于是pain(痛苦)，搭配严肃，如果这两个单词都不认识也是2猜1。49题：in _
10、49_ a persons well-being.，我们知道，in后面跟两种词性，名词或动名词，比如spend time in doing sth，所以满足的单词有I) determining决定，确定 N)prompting，2猜1。50题：causing problems that _50_ from missed work to depression.，由于有from-to-,所以填入动词单配这两个介词，由于没有任何特殊信息词，本题填入一个动词原形，由于前面是problems这个复数，所以排掉B)involves，满足的只有O) specialize ，D)range，两个都不认识，先放
11、着不管，待会再结合处理。51题：now depend upon physicians who _51_ in pain medicine，后面是in，确定填动词搭配in，前面是physicians who，人作主语，并且是复数，所以必须是动词原形，满足的单词依然是O) specialize ，D)range，我们可以将50和51题全部填入O) specialize，结果是必对一道，有时候放弃是为了得到。52题：other psychological and social _52_，前面是psychological and social这两个形容词，空内应该填入名词，由于是other，要求我们填
12、入一个名词复数，满足的只有一个单词F)issues B)involves，二选一，别着急，让我们看下一道题。53题：Such comprehensive therapy often _53_ the work，前面是often，要求空内填入实义动词，Such comprehensive therapy明显是单数，不认识也无所谓，确定空内的填入的单三形式的动词，满足的是F)issues B)involves，知道怎么样最功利吗?那就是这道题和上面的52题都填入其中一个，结果依然必对一道!54题：This modern _54_ for pain management，前面是形容词modern，要
13、求填入名词被它修饰，满足的是A)result结果 M)respect(尊重)，空后是介词for ,有一点基础的人都知道M) respect(尊重)最搭配for，所以也就排除了它作为动词原形的可能性，所以现在知道我为什么将51题的满足单词固定为O) specialize ，D)range了吗?55题：there were only a _55_ number of drugs available,根据后面的名词number，和前面的a，我们确定天形容词修饰number,满足的有C) significant H)magnificent J) limited有限的，同学们，看到了only了吗?答案是
14、 limited有限的。56题：and many of them caused _56_ side effects，后面是名词概念side effects，填入形容词来修饰吧!满足的只有C) significant H)magnificent J)，2猜1吧，结合49题2猜1，几率是两道2猜1，两道可以对一道。2012年6月One in six. Believe it or not, thats the number of Americans who struggle with hunger. To make tomorrow a little better, Feeding America,
15、 the nations largest 47domestic hunger-relief organization, has chosen September as Hunger Action Month. As part of its 30 Ways in 30 Days program, its asking 48 communities across the country to help the more than 200 food banks and 61,000 agencies in its network provide low-income individuals and

20、are already dealing with the impact this increase will have on everything from food and water to infrastructure and jobs. Underlying all this 47 challenges will be the demand for energy, which is expected to double over the next 40 years.Finding the resources to meet this demand in a 48 stable, sust
21、ainable way is the cornerstone of our nations energy security, and will be one of the major 49 progress of the 21st century. Alternative forms of energy-bio-fuels, wind and solar, to name a few, are 50 certainly being funded and developed, and will play a growing 51 role in the worlds energy supply.
22、 But experts say that, even when 52 combined, alternative energy sources will likely meet only about 30% of the worlds energy needs by 2050. For example, even with 53 significant investments, such as the $93 million for wind energy development 54 included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Ac

26、roken sleep, while younger people are better at sleeping 49 efficiently straight through the night.More sleep in old age, however, is 50 associated with better health, and most older people would feel better and more 51 alert if they slept for longer periods, he said.“The ability to sleep in one chu
27、nk (整块时间) overnight goes down as we age but the amount of sleep we need to 52 function well does not change,” Dr Drummond told the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in San Diego.“Its 53 definitely a myth that older people need less sleep. The more healthy an older adult
28、is, the more they sleep like they did when they were 54 younger. Our data suggests that older adults would benefit from 55 continuing to get as much sleep as they did in their 30s. Thats 56 different from person to person, but the amount of sleep we had at 35 is probably the same amount as we need a

What factors make you more or less bold, intelligent, or able to
30、read a map? All of these are influenced by the interaction of your genes and the environment in which you were 47 raised. The study of how genes and environment interact to influence 48 displayed activity is known as behavioral genetics. Behavioral genetics has made important 49 contributions to the
31、 biological revolution, providing information about the extent to which biology influences mind, brain and behavior.Any research that suggests that 50 abilities to perform certain behaviors are based in biology is controversial. Who wants to be told that there are limitations to what you can 51 achi
32、eve based on something that is beyond your control, such as your genes? It is easy to accept that genes control physical characteristics such as sex, race and eye color. But can genes also determine whether people will get divorced, how 52 smart they are, or what career they are likely to choose? A
33、concern of psychological scientists is the 53 extent to which all of these characteristics are influenced by nature and nurture (养育), by genetic makeup and the environment. Increasingly, science 54 indicates that genes lay the groundwork for many human traits. From this perspective, people are born

But the U.S. has more than 100 mill
36、ion existing homes, and it would be 47 incredibly wasteful to tear them all down and 48 replace them with greener versions. An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses. And it would take an average of 65 years for the 49 reduced carbon emissions from a new e
37、nergy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest 50 sense, the greenest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of U. S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and 51powering our homes, offices and other b
38、uildings. You cant deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings, says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.With some 52 exceptions, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient. Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those bu

And efficiency upgrades (

41、th two working parents, fathers may have more impact on a childs language development than mothers, a new study suggests.Researchers 47 recruited 92 families from 11 child care centers before their children were a year old, interviewing each to establish income, level of education and child care arr
42、angements. Overall, it was a group of well-educated middle-class families with married parents both living in the home.When the children were 2, researchers videotaped them at home in free-play sessions with both parents, 48 recording all of their speech. The study will appear in the November issue
43、of The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology.The scientists measured the 49total number of utterances (话语) of the parents, the number of different words they used, the complexity of their sentences and other 50 aspects of their speech. On average, fathers spoke less than mothers did, but they
44、did not differ in the length of utterances or proportion of questions asked. Finally, the researchers 51analyzed the childrens speech at age 3, using a standardized language test. The only predictors of high scores on the test were the mothers level of education, the 52 quality of child care and the
45、 number of different words the father used.The researchers are 53 unsure why the fathers speech, and not the mothers, had an effect. “Its well 54 established that the mothers language does have an impact,” said Nadya Pancsofar, the lead author of the study. It could be that the high-functioning moth
46、ers in the study had 55 already had a strong influence on their childrens speech development, Ms. Pancsofar said, “or it may be that mothers are 56 contributing in a way we didnt measure in the study.”A) already B)analyzed C) aspects D)characters E)contributing F) describing G)established H) quality

They never write, unless assignments 47 require it. They find the writing process 48 painful and difficult. How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it, 49 especially English with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in an 50 enormous mansion(豪宅) and neve
