四级考试完形填空对名词的考查主要集中在三个方面:含有名词的固定搭配;形近义异或义近形异名词的辨析;特定语境下名词的选择。

一、含有名词的固定搭配

四级完形填空经常出现的考点之一便是对固定搭配的考查,例如:动词词组、介词词组和名词词组。在上述三类词组中,会出现交叉测试现象,即对同一词组的考查,有时侧重名词,有时则侧重介词等。考生需具备深厚扎实的基础知识,注意在平时练习中对常见词组进行积累,例如:beyondone’s means;by mistake ;in the long run 等等。

Sleep Smartrecords the distinct pattern of brain waves produced during each phase of sleep,via a head-band equipped with electrodesand a microprocessor. Thismeasures the electrical activity of the wearer’s brain, in much the same way assome machines used for medical and research , and communicates wirelessly with aclock unit near the bed. You program the clock with the latest time at which youwant to be wakened, and it then dulywakes you during the last light sleepphase before that.

A) findings B) prospectsC) proposals D) purposes

[解析]此题是对名词的考查。固定搭配for ... purpose表示 "被用于……目的"。此句句意为:它测量被测试者脑电活动,其方式如同一些机器被用于医疗和研究一样。正确选项应为D)。含有名词的固定搭配在完形填空的测试中虽对考生对文章整体的把握要求较低,但对考生掌握英语固定搭配短语的质和量都提出了很高的要求,这也是对四级旧题型词汇和语法部分的沿袭和延伸。

二、形近义异或义近形异名词的辨析

形近义异或义近形异名词的辨析是对四级旧题型词汇和语法部分的另一类沿袭和延伸,它在要求考生对所给四个名词做出确切中文解释的同时,也要求考生对其细微差异做出准确判定。名词常在用途和数量上有所区分。例如:英语中的license 和certificate,前者是许可某人从事某种职业的证书,而后者则是证明某人有能力或者曾经做过某事的证书,还有:incident ,event,affair ,emergency。数量标准是考 facilities B) instrumentsC) implements D) appliances

2. A)reservation B) retreat C) replacement D)recovery

[解析]1题属于完形填空中义近形异名词的辨析,亦即俗称的名词近义词的辨析。给定的四个名词都含 "工具,器械"的意思,但按照名词的用途,很容易区分它们的异同。instrument指"用于精细工作或科学技术的工具";implement指"在工作中任何有用或必需的器械",尤指"较简单的农田或园艺工具";appliance特指"家用电器";facility 常用作复数形式表示"设施"。故得出正确选项A),bathingfacilities,洗澡设施。此外,表示"设施,工具"的其他近义词还有:equipment,apparatus ,device等。

2题属于完形填空中形近义异名词的辨析。四个词含义分别为:reservation "保留";retreat"退却,退避";replacement"取代,代替";re-covery"恢复"。由句意:对于成千上万的幸存者,是不可能完全彻底地从这场地震中恢复的,得出正确选项D)。

三、特定语境下名词的选择

四级完形填空对名词的考查不仅仅定位于名词的固定搭配和辨析,更多考查的是特定语境下名词的选择,这也是完形填空的特点所在。考生解答此类问题的关键便是理解名词所在的上下文的语篇含义。例如:Anearthquake hit Kashmir on Oct. 8, 2005. It took some 75,000 lives, injured130,000 and left nearly 3.5 million without food, jobs or homes. Almostovernight, scores of tent villages bloomed across the re-gion, tended byinternational aid organizations, military and aid groups working day and nightto shelter the survivors before winter set in. A) ranks B) equipment C)personnel D) installations[解析]此题目是对特殊语境下名词选择的考查。先确定四个给定名词的含义:rank"军衔,军阶";equipment"设备";personnel"人员,职员";installation"安装,设置"。再根据句意:军队人员帮助照顾受灾民众,得出正确选项C)。

答案&解析

1题属于完形填空中义近形异名词的辨析。给定的前三个名词都有“形式”的意思,按照名词的用途,form指“具体事物的形式或形态”;way指“手段,方法”,比method更为通用,可指单一的技巧也可指复杂的操作方法,还可以指一些人处理某一问题所采用的特殊方法;method指“方法,方式”,指相当精心地拟订的一组方法,并强调实施的效率和精确性。fashion表示“时尚”,与前三个名词词义差别较大。故得出正确选项考(试大B):你买一件物品或一项服务的方式往往可以决定你是在节省钱财还是在增加额外花费。

4题是对特殊语境下名词选择的考查。先确定四个给定名词的含义:goal“目标”;task“任务”;function“功能,作用”;purpose“目的”。再根据句意:如果可以的话,先试用或借来使用,看它是否能满足你特定的使用需求,得出正确选项D)。
