六级选词填空
同学们好：
今天的英语课堂选取了2014年12月份的六级考试的选词填空题，带领大家一起攻克一大波组团来袭的六级高频词汇。先来看看备选单词，也建议大家先独立完成练习后，再参考答案解析。
备选单词
第一句：
His future subjects have not always treated the Prince of Wales with the respect one might expect.
分析：
选词填空的第一句话通常不设空，主要交代全文的大意。在本句话中，future subjects是指“未来的人民／臣民”；Prince of Wales是指“威尔士王子，即查尔斯王子”。（PS：可以看出这篇文章的主题是英国的查尔斯王子以及他的故事。）参考译文：
他未来的臣民们从来都没有给予这位威尔士王子（查尔斯王子）应有的敬意。
第二句：
They laughed aloud in 1986 when the heir to the British __1__ told a TV reporter that he talked to his plants at his country house, Highgrove, to stimulate their growth.
分析：
本句话中出现了the heir：（继承人），从句意可以推断the heir to the British __1__应该是指“英国王室的继承人”，也就是查尔斯王子的身份。在备选单词中，throne 的意思是“王位、王权”，是正确答案，意思与kingdom相近。
参考译文：
1986年，这位英国王室的继承人告诉一个电视台记者说，他在自己的乡村别墅（Highgrove）中，曾经对着植物说话，刺激他们的生长，结果遭到了人们的哈哈大笑（PS：注意不是嘲笑laugh at; 而是laugh aloud:大声笑）
第三句：
The Prince was being humorous—“My sense of humor will get me into trouble one day,” he said to his aides (随从)—but listening to Charles Windsor can indeed prove stimulating. The royal __2__ has been promoting radical ideas for most of his adult life.
分析：
第二空之前有很长的一句话，是对查尔斯王子的描述，大家只需要看懂关键词humorous（幽默的）就可以了，这位王子原来生活中很风趣。来看第二空，the royal______, 空格前面是一个形容词royal (皇家的、王室的)，看来空格处应该填入一个名词。在备选单词中，只有environmentalist（环保主义者）最符合语义，而且前文有暗示查尔斯王子很喜欢园艺。
参考译文：
这位王子一直都很幽默——“我的幽默感总有一天会给我带来麻烦，”他对自己的随从说——但是实际上，听查尔斯温莎（查尔斯王子的全名，温莎就是查尔斯王子居住的房子；温莎城堡）的话真的让人兴奋（stimulating）。这位环保主义者在成年后经常提出一些激进的观点。
第四句：
Some of his __3__, which once sounded a bit weird, were simply ahead of their time. Now, finally, the world seems to be catching up with him.
分析：
此处空格处很明显也是一个名词，而且是一个复数名词。根据后面的定语从句（听着有些奇怪），我们可以推测出空格处的名词应该表示“观点、想法”，与前一句中的ideas 是同义词，在备选单词中，notions是最佳答案，意思是“观点、想法、理念”。
参考译文：
他的一些观念，曾经听上去很荒诞，只不过超越了他所处的时代罢了。现在，全世界似乎都跟上了他的节奏／脚步。（PS：看来查尔斯王子也是一枚新新人类呢，想法超前、观念创新）
第五、六句：
Take his views on farming. Prince Charles’ Duchy Home Farm went __4__ back in 1986, when most shoppers cared only about the low price tag on suspiciously blemish-free (无瑕疵的) vegetables and __5__ large chickens piled high in supermarkets.
分析：
这两空出现在一句话中，我们可以综合考虑。这句话的主题是谈论查尔斯王子的农场（还记得他曾经对着植物讲话吗？）第四空went ____back in 1986的意思是“追溯到1986年”，中间空格处只能填入一个副词，意思是“这一想法最初可以追溯到1986年。”在备选单词中，副词originally (最初的)意思最为符合原文，同义词是initially (最初的)；后一句话中，__5__ large chickens的空格处应该是一个形容词，形容形体很大的鸡肉，与前文的无瑕疵的蔬菜构成并列短语，这句话的意思是“当年人们还热衷于在超市购买无瑕疵的蔬菜和体型大到不自然的鸡肉，（查尔斯王子就开始种植有机蔬菜了）。”在备选单词中，形容词unnaturally (非自然的、非同寻常的)意思最符合原文，是正确答案。
参考译文：
以他对农业的看法为例，查尔斯王子的农场最早可以追溯到1986年，当时，大多数购物者只在乎超市里面堆得高高的、毫无瑕疵的蔬菜和体型大到不自然的鸡肉的低廉价格。
第七、八句：
His warnings on climate change proved farsighted, too. Charles began __6__ action on global warming in 1990 and says he has been worried about the __7__ of man on the environment since he was a teenager.
分析：
这段文字的第一句话给我们很多的提示：查尔斯王子还关注气候变化。第6空处应该填入一个动词，构成began to do sth. 或者began doing sth. 在备选单词中，urging (敦促)的意思最为符合原文，即beg an urging actions on…（开始敦促采取…措施）；后一句话似乎就简单很多，定冠词the后面一定是名词，the ____ on … 大意应该是“人类对环境产生的影响”，在备选单词中，impact (影响)绝对是独一无二的选择。
参考译文：
他对气候变化的警告也是颇有远见的。查尔斯王子在1990年就开始敦促大家采取行动应对全球变暖，在少年时期，他就开始担心人类对环境的影响。
第九、十句：
Although he has gradually gained international __8__ as one of the world’s leading conservationists, many British people still think of him as an __9__ person who talks to plants.
分析：
前一句话中，我们根据第八空所处的位置可以判断：这里是一个名词，gain international______,大意是“获得国际关注／名气”，在备选单词中，recognition (认可、关注)是正确答案，意思近似于单词popularity , fame.这句话与后一句话是转折关系，即便查尔斯王子的国际知名度很高，可是很多英国人仍然觉得他_____,因为他喜欢跟植物讲话。空格处应该填入一个形容词eccentric (怪异的、古怪的)，相当于odd (古怪的)（PS：话说英国行为古怪的人还真是不少呢！）
参考译文：
尽管他逐渐获得了国际的认可，被公认为世界上最领先的环保主义者之一，很多英国人仍然觉得他是一位对着植物说话的古怪的人。
第十一句：
This year, as it happens, South Korean scientists proved that plants really do __10__ to sound. So Charles was ahead of the game there, too.
最后一句话的意思直接明了，我们通过大意来推测：今年，韩国科学家证明植物对声音真的会产生______,查尔斯王子又一次走在了时代的前沿，（甩了老百姓几条街！）正确答案应该是respond (反应)，你选对了吗？
最后，来看这些备选单词的意思：
小结：
今天的选词填空，大家是不是感觉跟查尔斯王子的性格很相似呢？古怪的很！六级选词填空一共有10个空，每空0.5分，是阅读理解的第一部分，也是考查大家英语单词的有效题型。

So we’ve contrived variousthat turn out to be haft truths, prejudices or myths. We have a full blown prestige panic; we worry that there won’t be enough trophies to go around. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Underlying the hysteria is the belief that scarcedegrees must be highly valuable.

2017年6月英语六级阅读真题及答案第1套选词填空 After becoming president of Purdue University in2013, Mitch Daniels asked the faculty to prove that their students have actually achieved one of higher education’s most important goals: critical thinking skills. Two years before, a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no 26 gains in such mental abilities during their school years. Mr. Daniels needed to__27__ the high cost of attending Purdue to its students and their families.

Although many researchers broadly agree that public access to raw data would accelerate science, most are reluctant to post the results of their own labors online. Some communities have agreed to share online—geneticists, for example, post DNA sequence sat the GenBank repository (库) , and astronomers are accustomed to accessing images of galaxies and stars from, say, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a telescope that has observed some500 million objects—but these remain the excepti on, not the rule.

大学英语四级阅读：选词填空技巧汇总 选词填空的考察形式 一篇280词左右的文章，文章中挖出10个空，并统一给出A-O 15个备选答案。选词填空区别于完形填空，有更大的解题难度，原因在于： 1. 完形填空每题都是四选一，选词填空第一题要十五选一，就算用到排除法，最后一题也要六选一，而且在十五个选项中还有五个根本不会用到，难度加大； 2. 完形填空每题的四个选项都是统一的词性，只需要辨析词义、搭配就基本可以作答，而选词填空的十五个选项有多个词性，解题时需要同时判断词性和词义，难度加大； 3. 完形填空每题的四个选项往往都是统一时态，统一形式，而在选词填空中会涉及选项的动词时态、第三人称单数形式、被动主动语态，名词的单复数等的辨析，难度加大。 针对选词填空的解题方法分为三步 1. 预览选项，了解词义并把选项分为四大类词性：名词n，动词v，形容词a，副词ad，在每个选项后作词性的简要标记； 2. 精读全文开头，把握文章主题，并以三个空或一个段落为一个单位，利用前后文判 断每空的词性； 3. 把对应词性的选项逐一带回原文，含义通顺，时态、主谓搭配一致的为正确选项。 四级考试的常用后缀在判断选项词性时可以有一定帮助作用。在根据前后文判断每空的词性时，一些经常考察的形式如下： 名词：通常来说，冠词(如a，an，the)、形容词、介词后面搭配名词，即"a/an/the/adj./prep. + n。"， 举例说明：Education soon became a _____. 冠词a后面加可数名词的单数形式，正确答案是nightmare，这句话的意思是"教育很快成了一种噩梦。" As the trade winds lessen in _____, the ocean temperatures rise causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5 degrees. (06-6) 介词in后面加名词，正确答案是strength，这句话的意思是"当信风强度减弱的时候，海洋温度上升，导致从东部流入的秘鲁洋流上升了5摄氏度之多。"较难的一个例子：Husbands and children now do some of these jobs, a ____ that has changed the target market for many products. (06-12) 这里可以用两种判断方法来判断横线处所填词的词性。第一种方法，用句子结构来判断，前面一句话，husbands and children now do some of these jobs，这是一个完整的句子，主语husbands and children，谓语动词do，宾语some of these jobs；后面的that 引导的是一个同位语从句，它所修饰的中心词就是a后面需要填的词，而定语从句的中心词是名词，所以横线处应填一个名词。第二种方法，根据刚才所说的"a + 名词"的语法规则来判断，横线处应该填一个名词，而且是一个可数名词的单数形式。正确答案是situation。这句话的意思是"丈夫和孩子现在也做一些这样的工作了，这种情况就改变了许多产品的目标市场。" 动词：动词的考点很多，我们来看其中三种： 1. 主语后缺谓语动词。举例说明：He ____ from his teachers, came home in tears and thought about dropping out. 在这句话里，主语是he，本来后面应该有一个动词作谓语，但是这里没有动词，而是在横线后面出现了一个介词短语from his teachers，这样这句话就缺少谓语动词，所以横线上应该填一个动词。正确答案是hid，这句话的意思是"他不愿见老师，
