教学过程中,我经常发现不少程度不错的学生在S4填空题上的得分率和那些基础一般的同学差不多,有时甚至还不如他们做得好。其实,作为技巧性较大的填空题,如果出现在S4中,对于考生们而言可以说是个绝对的好消息,因为难度上会比选择题小一些。本文将用剑8第一套的Section 4作为例题,告诉各位烤鸭们如何有效提高S4全填空题型的得分方法。
SECTION 4 Questions 31-40
Complete the notes below.
Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer.
Geography
Studying geography help us to understand: l the effects of different processes on the 31.............of the Earth l the dynamic between 32.............and population Two main branches of study: l physical features l human lifestyles and their 33.............. Specific study areas: biophysical, topographic, political, social, economic, historical and 34............geography, and also cartography Key point: geography help us to understand our surroundings and the associated 35............. What do geographers do? n find data – e.g. conduct censuses, collect information in the form of 36................ using computer and satellite technology n analyse data-identify 37................,e.g. cause and effect n publish findings in form of: a) maps - easy to carry - can show physical features of large and small areas - BUT a two-dimensional map will always have some 38.............. b) aerial photos - can show vegetation problems, 39............. density, ocean floor etc. c) Landsat pictures sent to receiving stations - used for monitoring 40................conditions etc. |
在实考中碰到像这类Section 4只填一个单词的填空题,简直就是拿分的好机会。接下来我将进行本题审题的示范。
第一题:划出关键词effects, processes和Earth,并且确定词性——名词(单复数不确定,所以记得留意原文中是否出现s)。另外,由空格之后的of the Earth,可以进行大胆预测,其应该是地球的某一个部分,也就是说需在原文中寻找和地球相关的名词。
第二题:划出关键词dynamic和population,所要词性是名词,同时Section 4出现同义替换的概率很大,所以考生们需要思考这两个名词的替换,哪怕第一个单词不认识,但是population的同义替换还是能想到的,做题时寻找离它较近的名词往上填。
第三题:划出关键词human lifestyles,确定词性——名词(单复数不明)。由于本题定位词只有human lifestyles一个,所以同学们可以在审题时试想一些human lifestyles潜在的同义替换。
第四题:此题比较容易解决,因为空格之前的词重现概率较高,所以直接寻找形容词即可。
第五题:划出关键词surroundings,并且能想到它的同义词environment,去原文中寻找一个名词(单复数不明,需要留意s)。
第六题:划出关键词data, censuses, information, form,computer, satellite technology。本题所划关键词较多,定位上找一个名词往上填。
第七题:划出关键词data和cause and effect,并且for example也可以帮助定位,寻找一个名词(单复数不确定)。
第八题:由but可以进行定位,在原文中寻找一个名词(单复数不确定)。
第九题:关键词vegetation problems, density和ocean floor很有可能进行同义替换,需要预先做好准备,寻找一个名词(单复数不明)。
第十题:根据monitoring可以大胆预测是某个事物的condition,所以去原文寻找一个名词(单复数不明)。
接着一起跟着原文找答案。
第一题:So, welcome to your introductory geography lecture. We'll begin with some basics. Firstly, what do we learn by studying geography?
Well, we learn a great deal about all the processes that have affected and that continue to affect the earth's surface.
原文中出现processes之后,只有surface一个与Earth相关的单词,所以surface即是答案。
第二题:But we learn far more than that, because studying geography also informs us about the different kinds of relationships that develop between a particular environment and the people that live there.
between一词原文重现,所以答案environment比较好找。同时,population与the people that live there做替换。
第三题:There's the study of the nature of our planet - its physical features, what it actually looks like - and then there's the study of the ways in which we choose to live and of the impact of those on our planet. Our current use of carbon fuels is a good example of that.
physical features应该会有不少考生拿来定位,之后出现the ways in which we choose to live和human styles做替换。不过哪怕听不懂也没关系,因为and有出现,其后紧跟的impact即是答案。
第四题:Next comes historical geography - the understanding of how people and their environments and the ways they interact have changed over a period of time - and urban geography, an aspect I'm particularly interested in…
原文和我们试想的一样,historical原文出现,之后离geography最近的单词就是答案urban。
第五题:…we would know very little about our surroundings and we wouldn't be able to identify all the problems that relate to them.
surroundings原文重现,后面唯一可填的名词即是答案problems。
第六题:We might, for example, conduct a census - count a population in a given area perhaps. We also need images of the earth's surface which we can produce by means of computer-generation technology or with the help of satellite relays.
原文出现for example,conduct a census,之后出现images,earth’s surface和means只有images同时符合字数要求和语境。
第七题:After we've gathered our information, we must analyse it! We need to look for patterns, most commonly those of causes and consequences.
原文中出现analyse,找出离causes and consequences之前最近的名词patterns,即是答案。
第八题:But there is a drawback. You can't exactly replicate something that is three-dimensional, like our planet, on a flat piece of paper, because paper has only two dimensions, and that means there'll always be a certain degree of distortion on a map.
出现but开始找答案,之后听到two dimensions,继续找答案,只有degree和distortion两个符合词性和字数要求,可以都写下来,然后十分钟内根据语境判断答案——distortion。
第九题:You can easily illustrate areas of diseased trees or how much traffic is on the roads at a given time or information about deep sea beds, for example.
diseased trees和vegetation problems做替换,之后找一个名词,traffic比起roads,times和information更符合语境。
第十题:These are satellites that circle the earth and transmit visual information to computers at receiving stations. They circle the earth several times a day and can provide a mass of information - you'll all be familiar with the information they give us about the weather, for example.
原文中出现不少事物,学生比较难找,但是receiving stations有原文重现,它之后开始找一个名词,可以将earth,times,information和weather都写下来,最后誊写答案时选择和语境符合的weather。
以上就是Section 4的解题方法了,希望各位烤鸭们能多在做题时运用方法,多做总结,不要盲目地听题,使得自己抓不住考点,最终不能成功拿下Section 4。
