合理做題順序（總共40分鐘）：

仔細閱讀（20分鐘）一長篇閱讀（15分鐘）一選詞填空（5-10分鐘）

一、選詞填空

四級/六級-200-250詞/250-300詞5-10分鐘

總分5分，10道題，0.5分/題

難點：1.備選項多，10道題每道都是多選一

2.詞義不知，詞性不明思路：

詞性歸類，把1/15轉化成1/4或者1/5

I.有些選項詞性太多（有后綴知識）

2.不會分析空格處詞性

解題步驟：第一步：讀首句，抓大意；掃選項，標詞性（沒

有虛詞）第二步：選項詞性歸類第三步：根據空格左右

內容判斷詞性

Thethirdtypeofstressand_29_theleastknownisinheritedfinancialstress,whichisthemost

destructive.

第四步：優先做語法簡單，確定詞性的空從而縮小范圍

實用技巧：

1.段首句統領每段：首句完整，指導剩余；首句有空，依靠剩余

2.注意相鄰句子間轉折與順承關系：有轉

折詞為轉折關系，沒有為順承關系

3.并列分析法：

并列連詞（and,or,aswellas）前完整部分，后含有未知空，或顛倒，前后要并列相

關

eg.ImagineyouarcwanderingaboutonaThaiislandor_26_theruinsofAngkor.

eg.Thebottleis_27_,andthelabelsays"purewater".

Butmaybewhat'sinsideisnotso_28_.

解題步驟：第一步：讀首句，抓大意；掃選

項，標詞性第二步：詞性歸類第三步：根

據空格左右內容判斷詞性判斷依據：

動詞：v+to+v（原形）；情態動詞+v（原形）：v+冠詞+n；副詞+v+名詞；be+ving；be+ved；

動詞如何考慮時態：根據臨近句的時態判斷

語態：主動。r被動/根據主語與賓語之間關系

數：原形or單三/根據句子主語判斷

MrMawantstobeatyou.mustbeatyou.MrMabitesadog.happilybitesadog.isbeatingadog.is

bittenbyadog.

判斷依據：名詞被形容祠、名詞（考試中極少）、冠詞、代

詞修飾:形容詞+n；n+n：n+of+n；

冠詞a/an/the+n（通過a或者an判斷元開還是輔開）

代詞lhis/lhat/+單數n,lhese/lhose+復數n名詞需要

考慮單復數

判斷依據：形容詞修飾名詞，被系動詞.副

詞修飾：

2

s

a+n;系動詞+a；be+a+介詞，ad+a

副詞修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞、介詞短語:

v+ad+v；ad+a；ad+ad；ad+介詞短語

第四步：優先做語法簡單，確定詞性的空從而縮小范圍

二、仔細閱讀

2篇四級/六級-300-350詞/400-450詞20分鐘

一篇10分鐘，5道題，2分/題

解題步驟：

第一步：細讀1題題干/掃讀2-5題題干尋找復現（＞2）的實意名詞，把握文章主旨

第二步：審題三部曲：

一審題干：劃出關鍵詞

①.專有名詞，數字，連字符②.實意名詞，少數動詞

注意：定位要避開主旨

二掃選項：劃出核心詞（n為主，v為輔）；相似選項過半數可排除；相反選其中

三看順序：順序原則（6級會有很少量的竄題）

第三步：讀出題句直接解題出題句包含的選項為正確答奚，無法確

定出題句先做其他題目個別題出題句不確定，看輔助句輔助句為

上下各一句，正確答案均在定位所在段落第四步：分析選項

正確選項：形式相似/同意替換

錯誤選項：混：偷換概念一

xyz選項反：截然相反

無：無中生有

3

原文：ScientistshavetriedtotapInternetdonors,too,withmixedsuccess.

選項：B)Theymadeuseofmixedfundraisingstrategies.(ft：

1.避重就輕強轉折之前的選項可排除(出題句中的選項除

外)強轉折前為干擾選工0強轉折后為重要內容強轉折標

志詞：but,yet>however,instead,nevertheless

讓轉結構：although,though,eventhough,evenif,despite,inspiteof,while

偏：2.細節錯位在出題句及輔助

句范圍外的可排除

三、長篇閱讀

四級/六級一1000詞八200詞15分鐘

總分1()分，10道題，1分/題

難點：

文章長一1000詞往上

內容雜一12段甚至往上

選項多一10個選項記

性差！

解題步驟：第一步：閱讀標題，把握主旨，掃讀選項，確定主旨詞(選項中出現次

數》次的詞)第二步：細讀選項，每個選項找出4-6個配對詞配對詞選取的原則一

高區分度，高識別度

①.避開主旨詞

②.專有名詞，數字數量，有特殊符號的詞

③.長難詞，n為主v為輔、個別極端或帶比較的形容詞，原則是盡量確保語義完整

第三步：逐段掃讀，先確定2個最明顯答案，比如數字，專有名詞

第四步：再確定6個較明顯答案

第五步：剩余2個高難度選項，精讀匹配
