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。
