大学英语四级十五选十讲稿年月日星期课次授课内容备注十五选十深度阅读也就是俗称的十五选十，根据文章，从十五个词当中选出十个词。

填在一篇250字的短文的十个空格中，使短文意思完整。

由于深入阅读部分总共只有25分钟，而完成后面的两篇阅读理解至少需要20分钟，所以考生必须在5分钟之内把这道选词填空題。

做选词填空，关键是在保证正确率的前提下速度要尽量快。

这种题型解题技巧最重要的就是：判断词性。

首先要判断出文章中要选的每个横线上要填什么词性的词。

因为在样题和考过的为数不多的新四级来看，每次的１５个词当中，只考四种词性：动词、名词、形容词和副词。

他们的数目依次大约是：４个、４个、４个、２个。

所以具体到每个题目来说，只是简单的四选一，而且每个题目越往后做，备选项越少，难度也越低。

而且尤其要注意的是动词，因为有时态的变化，虽然时态的变化备选词中都已经写好了，但是需要考生通过文章来进行判断，比如非谓语动词，那就要变成ing的形式。

一、根据其题型特点，考生要做到：1.掌握词汇、语法、阅读等基础知识，并具有较强的语言综合运用能力。

2.具备一定的词汇运用能力。

大学英语教学要求学生具有识别生词和辨析词义的能力，要求学生能够辨析意义相近的词、用法相近的词。

所以该题的干扰项往往会以同义词、近义词、反义词或形近异义词的形式出现。

固定搭配以动词、形容词、副词、介词构成的居多，在选词填空中，主要以副词和介词为考点。

这要求考生在平时的英语学习中，掌握主要的固定搭配和习惯用法，重视对结构和语法的掌握。

3.具备语境逻辑判断能力。

选词填空的一个主要方面是考查学生对某一段落或者某几个句子之间的逻辑关系的判断和把握，尤其是对句与句之间的逻辑关系的理解。

这要求考生熟记表示列举、原因、结果、让步、递进、转折、对照、补充、时间、目的、条件等不同逻辑关系的连接词。

真题重现：(2008年6月，CET-4)Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel throughEurope. I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly 1 to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was 2 to a little college French.A) accomplish I) manufactureB) advanced J) momentsC) balloon K) newsD) claim L) reducedE) constantly M) regretF) declare N) scaryG) interviews O) totallyH) limited由基本的语法知识，我们知道情态动词could后面只能接动词原形，所以第1个空或可选A) accomplish，D) claim，F) declare和I) manufacture；同时连词but让我们知道前后是转折的语气。

例：El Nino is the name given to the myster ious and often unpredictable change in the clima te of the world. This strange __47__ happens e very five to eight years. It starts in the Pacific O cean and is thought to be caused by a failure i n the trade winds, which affects the ocean curre nts driven by these winds.

第一章完形填空第一节题型透析一、题型介绍《大纲》提到：完形填空(Cloze)测试学生各个层面上的语言理解能力及语言运用能力。

短文长度为220～250词，内容是学生所熟悉的题材。

这部分的分值比例为10％，考试时间为15分钟。

完形填空部分的短文有20个空格，空格处待填入的词既有实词也有虚词，每个空格为一题，每题有4个选择项。

要求考生选择一个最佳答案，使短文的意思和结构恢复完整。

完形填空是连贯的短文层次上的填空，它要求考生在通读全文、掌握大意和主题的基础上，综合运用所学过的词汇、语法和篇章结构知识，选择或推测最佳答案填补空缺，使短文意思和结构恢复完整。

完形填空对考生的语言知识和能力的要求主要有：阅读理解能力、整体语感和语篇分析能力、句法结构知识、词汇知识(包括词汇量，构词知识，近义词辨析，语义的内涵、外延、联想和搭配等)和句型搭配知识(包括动词、名词、形容词的惯用句型，动词、名词、形容词、副词之间的搭配及其与介词的习惯搭配等)。

二、命题趋势完形填空考查考生在阅读理解的基础上对词汇、语法知识的掌握情况。

要求考生通读全文，掌握文章大意，运用词汇、语法等知识，选择最佳答案，使文章意思通顺，结构完整。

通过研读改革后的几次新题型考试，可以看出以下趋势。

(一)文章体裁和题材多样化完形填空所选材料皆为英美原版报刊书籍上的材料，在选材时主要考虑两个方面：语言和内容。

从近几次考试来看，完形填空所选材料地道，难度适中，词汇要求符合大纲规定。

文章题材非常广泛，涵盖社会科学、人文科学和自然科学各个方面，呈现多样化的趋势，对学生的背景知识和综合能力提出了较高的要求。

文章的体裁仍然以说明文、议论文为主，记叙文为辅。

考生在平时的备考中要重点练习前两种体裁的文章。

对不同体裁的文章，要根据其体裁特点，运用不同的方法快速阅读，正确理解。

说明文中，作者先提出说明对象，然后从时间、空间、使用方法、步骤等不同侧面加以说明。

议论文中，作者先提论点，再加以分析，或举例论证，得出结论。

选词填空应试方法:一了解题型选词填空又称15选10，在仔细阅读部分，是新增题型。

试题文章长约200到250个单词，10个空格，备选词汇共15个，每个空格只准选用一个单词，每个词不能重复使用。

备选词汇是名词，动词，形容词和副词，虚词不在考核范围内。

二应试方法及步骤1 按照词缀准确判断15个单词的词性,将同一词性的备选单词归为一组，如果遇到动词还可以按照时态进行第二次分类,尽量将15个单词的类别分得越细越好.2 只读试题所在的原句，通过前后词判断空内应填入词性和语法属性，通过上下句判断时态，回到相对应的词性组选择单词，如果遇到动词则需注意时态3 本试题并不侧重考察同义词辨析和固定搭配，否则就是完型填空，因此，只要能判断试题所在的句子所需要的词性和语法属性就不难找到正确答案。

4 未必要按顺序作题，因为本来就无须了解文章的意思，只读句子，遇到哪个简单就先做哪个，难的放到后面做，因为备选范围在不断缩小。

5 正确答案应满足语法和词性要求，句意通顺。

This practice book is __1__ for foreign engineers or students of engineering who have already mastered the elements of English, and who now want to use their knowledge of the language to read books on their own __2__. Readers should understand, however, that the purpose of the book is to teach language, not to teach engineering.The language in which scientific and technical __3__ are expressed is certainly not a different language from that of everyday life, but all the same it presents the foreign students with a number of __4__ problems.

A traveler visiting the hut in the middle of the dark time and perhaps in bad weather, his feet, hands and face bitten by the frost, will have his difficulties doubled if the wood he left has been used up by others and he had nothing with which to19 a fire.Ten or more years ago there were enough hunters to look after most of the huts, but now many buildings have become useless because there is no one to repair them and because of 20A. worseB. peculiarC. laidD. lightE. generallyF. orderG. particularH. conventionsI. carelessness J．difference K. built L. fashionsM. searching N. ordinarily O. resultUnit SevenPassage 2Most of us trade money for entertainment.

Perhaps you can find a free cooking or crafts 17 in a department store.Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money, too, since these places often 18 aside one or two free 19 days at slow times during the week.

There is 11 a type of music called "the blue", a low, mournful, sad sound to 12 these universal human feelings.Depression is another name for this mood. Feeling depressed is a normal and natural 13 to experiences of loss, failure, and undeserved bad luck. Indeed, it has been pointed out that without depression, we would 14 much of the world's great tragic literature, music, and art.In some cases, however, depression becomes something more than just 15 feelings of blues or letdown. A large number of people suffer from what psychiatrists call "depressive illness. " Depressive illness is more 16 and lasts longer than common listless feelings. Sometimes a serious 17 of depression can begin with the loss of a loved one or a change of job. Many times, in very18 cases, there doesn't seem to be any circumstance serious enough to have caused the depression.Some psychiatrists suggest that the key feature in depression is change. The person becomes different from the way before the onset of his depression. He may even become the opposite of his usual self. There are many examples: the businessman who becomes a wanderer, the mother who wants to 19 her children and herself. Instead of seeking satisfaction and pleasure, the depressed person 20 it.A growing world population and the discoveries of science may 11 this pattern of distribution in the future. As men slowly learn to master diseases, control floods, prevent famines, and stop wars, fewer people die every year; and in 12 the population of the world is 13 increasing. In 1925 there were about 2,000 million people in the world; by the end of the century there may well be over 4,000 million.When numbers rise the 14 mouths must be fed. New lands must be I bought under cultivation, or land already farmed made to 15 larger crops. In some areas the accessible land is largely so intensively 16 that it will be difficult to make it provide more food. In some areas the population is so dense that the land is parceled out in units too 17 to allow for much improvement in farming methods. Were a larger part of this farming population drawn off into industrial occupations, the land might be farmed much more productively by modern methods.There is now a race for science, technology, and industry to keep the 18 of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed. New strains of crops are being developed which will thrive in 19 climates; irrigation and dry-farming methods bring poor lands under the plough, dams hold back the waters of great rivers to 20 water for the fields in all seasons and to provide electric power for new industries; industrial chemistryprovides fertilizers to suit particular soils; aero planes spray crops to destroy insects and many plant diseases.A. ensureB. violentlyC. alterD. harmfulE. cultivatedF. uniqueG. transplantedH. yieldI. consequenceJ. outputK. extraL. steadilyM. tinyN. unfavorableO. produceUnit TenPassage 2In the United States, it is not 11 to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11: 00 p. m. . If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he 12 it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call 13 its importance.In 14 life, time plays a very important part. In the U. S. A. , guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the 15 to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in 16 because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings 17 between people from cultures that treat time differently.Promptness is valued 18 in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U. S. no one would think of keeping a business 19 waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite.

But the environment must also have a 11 effect, wince if competition is important to the parents it is likely to become a major 12 in the lives of their children.One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools 13 the " win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current 14 for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being 15 keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying; "cheers, we conquer!"By far the worst form of competition in schools is the extreme 16 on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to 17 on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat 18 , but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.Obviously, it is neither 19 nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B's.

Once you are in habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often 12 to be. A certain amount of stress is 13 to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 14 and ill health.The amount of stress a person can 15 depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are 16 prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of 17 difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so 18 , but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued 19 to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot 20 stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could) , we need to find ways to deal with it.A. cancelB. paceC. extremeD. automaticallyE. removeF. vitalG. performanceH. supposedI. rate J. exposure K. achievement L. unusualM obviously N withstand O harshUnit ThirteenPassage 2What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who 11 life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You 12 to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other 13 , that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up—we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colors do 14 our moods—there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is 15 .A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the 16 of more suicides than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell 17 ; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and 18 colors make people not only happier but more active.

In a 1587 update, Milburn 13 and praised the progress that was made and called for even more 14One of the positive results from her study was a system-wide program to inform women of available administrative jobs.

They must act on the belief that all students can learn. They must recognize 13 differences in their students and adjust their practice 14 . They must know that their mission extends beyond developing the cognitive capacity of their students. They must be 15 with their students' self-concept, with their motivation, and with the development of character.Teachers must know the subjects they teach and how to teach them. They must 16 specialized knowledge of how to convey a subject to students. Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning. They must call on 17 methods to meet their goals, knowing and being able to 18 a variety of instructional skills. Teachers must think systematically about their practice and learn from experience, seeking the 19 of others and drawing on education research and scholarship to improve their practice.As members of learning communities, teachers contribute to school effectiveness by collaborating with other professionals.

But if you need up-to-the-minute data or have specialized needs, you may find a computerized database more useful, less expensive, and less time 11 .A database, a file of information on one subject or family of subjects, can be stored and 12 in a computer's memory. The speed of the computer then 13 you to recall any item in this file almost 14The three main types of databases are statistical, bibliographic, and full text. Statistical databases store 15 amounts of numerical data, such as wage and price indexes, census information, foreign 16 rates and bond prices. Bibliographic databases store references to and summaries of articles in periodicals and newspapers. Full-text databases offer the complex texts of such 17 as newspaper, magazine, and journal articles.Thousands of databases exist today, and their numbers are growing. Many companies have their in-house database, which is 18 to employees through computer terminals or microcomputers.

Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less 13 , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many 14 disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many 15 barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or to visit friends, imagine how you would 16 if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers; 17 can be even harder to break down and ignorance 18 represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to 19 attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which 20A. inevitablyB. evaluationsC. estimatesD. manageE. aloneF. countsG. prejudiceH. physicalI. mobile J. indifferently K. withdraw L. progressiveM. regular N. accounts O. drawUnit EighteenPassage 2Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now11 . Just a few years ago, it was 12 impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a 13 of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it 14 ? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap, or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also 15 a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. 16 is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives 17 to that time or calls up to explain his 18The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable— 19 if they are your guests.

Despite 11 alarms, the country escaped any postwar depression and lived in a 12 of boom. An economic survey of the year 1955, a typical year of the 1950's, may be typical as 13 the rapid economic growth of the decade. The national output was 14 at 10 percent above that of 1954(1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufactures was about 40 percent more than it had 15 in the years immediately following World War I . The country's business spent about 30 billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income 16 for spending was almost a third greater than it had been in 1950. Consumers spent about 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day, or about twenty-five million dollars every hour, all round the 17 . Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them. Only agriculture 18 that it was not sharing in the boom. To some observers this was a sad reflection of the mid-1920's. As farmers' share of their products 19 , marketing costs rose. But there were, among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority. Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last long and wouldwill certainly be developed more than in the past.There are many reasons why we should 18 the production of sugar. Most important is that it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy foods.Thus sugar cane and beet produce an average of 7,000,000 calories per acre. In this way they have the advantage over potatoes which give only 4, 000, 000, while the 19 for wheat and beans is 2 ,000,000 each.

Today, computers are easy to come by and many people know how computer technology 11 . More importantly, the growing use of computer networks can multiply the violation of security, making large numbers of people more vulnerable than would be the case if they were using 12 , stand-alone computers.What's more, computer experts agree that—despite recent widespread publicity-computer viruses are 13 one of the many computer security problems facing the nation.The U. S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency has requested that the Research Council's Science and Technology Board 14 the security problems posed by computer technology, see what 15 may already exist, review research efforts 16 at avoiding security problems in the future, and evaluate existing policies 17 to computer security. The study committee will examine the 18 of security for a broad spectrum of users, including the business, national security, and academic communities, as well as the 19 public.David.

The11 in these rings relates to the physical conditions which the tree experiences. Thus, trees grown in a 12 area and time each develop a pattern or configuration of their rings.This 13 was of little significance until Andrew E. Douglas began to study tree rings in Arizona in 1900. Using a technique called cross dating, he was able to employ tree rings to the study of archaeological sites and date the ruins with 14 . Some were as old as 6700 B. C. ! This study of tree rings is called dendrochronology.In time the cross dating was 15 by a carbon 14 process. This approach measured the amount of carbon 14 radiating from a piece of wood and 16 to determine the age of that wood. Further use of the carbon 14 technique has shown that the radiation process is more complex and less 17 than had been at first thought.The most 18 aspect of tree ring research is now called dendroclimatology. This 19 of the reconstruction of climates and climatic cycles and events from the evidence found in the tree rings.

Materials used for one purpose cannot at the same time be used for other purposes; if the quantity of an input is limited, the increased use of it in one manufacturing process must cause it to become less available for other uses.The cost of a product in 14 of money may not measure its true cost to society. The true cost of, say, the construction of a supersonic jet is the value of the schools and refrigerators that will never be built as a result. Every act of production uses up some of society's available resources; it means the foregoing of an opportunity to produce something else. In deciding how to use resources most effectively to 15 the wants of the community, this opportunity cost must 16 be taken into account.In a market 17 the price of a commodity and the quantity supplied depend on the cost of making it, and that cost, ultimately, is the cost of not making other goods. The market mechanism enforces this 18 . The cost of, say, a pair of shoes is the price of the leather, the labor, the fuel, and other elements used up in producing them. But the price of these inputs, in turn, 19 on what they can produce elsewhere—if the leather can be used to produce handbags that are valued highly by consumers, the price of leather will be bid up20A. fulfillB. correspondinglyC.termsD. relativeE. imposingF. dependsG.reverseH. ultimatelyI. different J. relationship K.satisfy L. financeM. considerably N. emphasizing O.economyUnit Thirty-SevenPassage 2Does a bee know what is going on in its mind when it navigates its way to 11 food sources and back to the hive, using polarized sunlight and the tiny magnet it carries as a navigational aid? Or is the bee just a machine, unable to do its mathematics and dance its language in any other way? To use Donald Griffin's term, does a bee have "awareness", or to use a 12 I like better, can a bee think and imagine?There is an experiment for this, or at least an 13 , made long ago by Karl Von Frisch and more recently 14 by James Gould at Princeton. Biologists who wish to study such things as bee navigation, language, and behavior in general have to 15 their bees to fly from the hive to one or another special place. To do this, they begin by placing a source of sugar very close to the hive so that the bees (considered by their trainers to be very dumb beasts) can learn what the game is about. Then, at regular intervals, the dish or whatever is moved 16 farther and farther from the hive, increasing about 25 percent at each move.
