同样是选词填空，以下技巧四六级通用哦！
开心不开心？
选词填空
四级的选词填空是一篇220词左右的文章，
六级的选词填空是一篇260词左右的文章，
该题型均是抽掉10个单词，
要求考生从15个备选答案中选出10个填入文章的空格处。
长度体裁多为记叙文、说明文或夹叙夹议的文章。题材多具有社会性、普及性，如人物介绍、科普知识或社会热点，而不会选择过于专业化的文章。所考的10个词均为实词，即能独立充当句子成分的词，如名词、形容词、动词和副词。
5大命题特点
1. 首句不设空，一句话中不设两空。
2. 10个空格考查的全部为实词，其中包括： 1~3个名词； 3~5个形容词； 2~4个动词； 1~2个副词。
3. 选项的单复数和时态应符合原文中上下文的语法要求。
4. 每个正确选项都有干扰项，要么是同性词正确选项之间的相互干扰，要么是多余选项对正确选项的干扰。
5. 选项列表中，正确选项和干扰项不列在一起。
4大解题步骤
0 1
分析选项，将单词按词性分类
因为选词填空考查的词全部为实词，所以可以先将备选的15个词按照名词、形容词、动词和副词归类。需要注意的是，很多单词有两个词性，所以要标全。
0 2
略读全文，寻找文中主题句
对于选词填空，一定要先迅速地浏览一遍全文，做到对文章内容有一个整体把握。尤其要注意文章的首句或末句，因为它有可能就是文章的主题句，这对文章的理解起着至关重要的作用。另外，文章的主题句有可能在文中反复出现，所以要善于抓住主题句，同时领会作者所持的态度。
0 3
细读全文，分析句子找选项
在对文章大意和选项有了大概的了解之后，接下来要做的就是仔细阅读文章，边读边找选项。这个环节中最重要的是分析空格前后句子的逻辑关系，确定句中缺少单词的词性，然后再根据全文的逻辑关系和语义排除干扰项，找出正确答案。
0 4
通读全文，带着选项看文章
如同做完形填空题的最后一个步骤一样，在选择完选项之后，一定要再次通读全文，检验自己所填的答案。因为在此类型考题中，上下文的逻辑关系很重要。
解题小窍门
0 1
of 前后填名词
四级第一套：
The researchers gathered 150 years of ocean temperature data in order to get a better (30) pictureof heat absorption from surface to seabed. They gathered together temperature readings collected by everything from a 19th century (31) voyage ofBritish naval ships to modern automated ocean probes.
30.【解析】of前后填名词，文章说研究者搜集了150年的海洋温度的数据，目的就是要了解从海面到海底热度吸收的情况。get a picture of sth.是一个固定搭配，意思就“对。。。有所了解”，因此，正确答案为picture。
31.【解析】of前后填名词。横线后的naval ships表明空处应与航海有关，在名词选项中只有voyage符合此处语义要求。
02
形容词要看其前后
六级第二套：
When a treefirst starts growing in a certain area, its likely that the (27) climaticenvelope — the temperature, humidity, rainfall patterns andso on — suitsit.
27.【解析】形容词要看其前后。破折号表示对前面内容的解释。the temperature, humidity,rainfall patterns都是与气候有关的词汇，因此climatic最符合语义要求。
03
名词之后填分词
四级第二套：
“There’s a mountain of evidence(34) provingtheir importance of sex influences at all levels of brain function,” he toldThe Seattle Times.
34.【解析】H)。名词之后填分词，分析句子结构可知，该分词修饰前面的名词，作补充解释的作用。横线前的evidence经常与动词prove搭配，proving做主动关系，逻辑正确。
04
主谓宾, 分词（表结果）
六级第三套：
In the 1960s, the United States (31) devotednearly 17% of discretionary(可酌情支配的)spending to research and development, (32) reapingdecades of economic growth.
32.【解析】主谓宾, 分词（表结果）。分析句子结构可知，空后的内容作作devote的结果状语。文章中说进行了投入，其结果当然是要活的经济的增长，reaping符合这样的判断。
05
并列用and/but，语法+内涵平行
四级第二套：
Daphna Joel, who led the study, said her research found that whilethereare some gender-based(29) similarities,many different types of brain can’t always bedistinguished by gender.
29.【解析】横线前的while表让步这一逻辑，前后一定是相反的。后面说有很多不同的种类，那么前面一定是相似性。所以答案为similarities。
六级第一套：
We need more scientists who canexplain what they are doing in language that is (29)convincingandunderstandable to the public.
29.【解析】横线后面有and，所以前面和后面一定在语法、内涵上是并列平行的。understandable表示“可以理解的”，也就是“可以相信的”，那么前面的词一定也表示相似的内涵。convincing恰好表示这样的含义。
活学活用
下面结合四级考试真题，对选词填空部分的解题思路做具体分析。
To get a sense of how women have progressed in science, take a quick tour of the physics department at the University of California, Berkeley. This is a storied place, the 26 of some of the most important discoveries in modern science—starting with Ernest Lawrence’s invention of the cyclotron (回旋加速器) in 1931. A generation ago, female faces were 27 and, even today, visitors walking through the first floor of LeConte Hall will see a full corridor of exhibits 28 the many distinguished physicists who made history here, 29 all of them white males.
But climb up to the third floor and you’ll see a 30 display. There, among the photos of current faculty members and students, are portraits of the 31 head of the department, Marjorie Shapiro, and four other women whose research 32 everything from the mechanics of the universe to the smallest particles of matter. A sixth woman was hired just two weeks ago. Although they’re still only about 10 percent of the physics faculty, women are clearly a presence here. And the real 33 may be in the smaller photos to the right：graduate and undergraduate students, about 20 percent of them female. Every year Berkeley sends its fresh female physics PhDs to the country’s top universities. That makes Shapiro optimistic, but also 34 .“I believe things are getting better,” she says, “but they’re not getting better as 35 as I would like.”
