真题 节选片段

It was an enormous complex task. Although Einstein was the better physicist， Hilbert was the better mathematician. So in October 1915 Einstein _______ (threw, thrust, huddled hopped) himself into a month--long frantic endeavor in _______ (how, that, what, which) he returned to an earlier mathematical strategy and wrestled with equations, proofs, corrections and updates that he _______(dashed, darted, rushed, reeled )to give as lectures to Berlin’s Prussian Academy of Sciences on four ________(successive , progressive, extensive, repetitive) Thursdays .

（1）考固定表达，要投入到一个疯狂的努力当中，如何表达呢？四个词都表示人体做出的某个动作。threw oneself into,疯狂地献身于某事当中。

（2）in 后面接一个关系词，which

（3）that 接定语从句，四个词为同类项，都表示快速走动或跑动。dash, dart, reel都只能用其本意，而rush却可表示匆匆忙忙做某事，符合文意。

（4）四个词押尾韵。四个连续的星期四，所以应是successive，连续的。progressive进步的；extensive扩展的；repetitive重复的。

总：完型填空中四选项要么为同一场景类，要么词形相近，要么词性相同，要么考固定表达。

完形填空做题时间为15分钟，分值为70分，每空3.5分。在时间分配上应是：先用4分钟通读文章，再用9分钟精读，2分钟查漏补缺。

六级考试在广度和深度上都远远超过四级。
