選詞填空部分歷來被看作是閱讀部分中難的一部分，但是并沒有同學們想象的那樣高不可攀，因為如果大家研讀過考綱就會發(fā)現，該部分考查詞匯的側重點不在單詞意思本身，而在詞性的考查，考查語法的重點也不是什么高難度的句型和語法，而在實詞成分的判定。而這兩部分都是大家可以提前準備的，也是南京新東方老師們課堂上已經給大家總結好的。只要大家按照課上所講的答題步驟和技巧去練習，嚴格控制答題時間，該部分拿個不錯的分數也不是很難。下面我們先回顧一下課我們課堂上所講的選詞填空的解題步驟吧。
- 解題步驟
- 讀首段首句抓主題句�？季V明確指出首段首句不會設空，以便考生能迅速了解文章主題。
- 整理選項標詞性。15個選項中肯定有自己認識的單詞，也有不認識的。認識的單詞標出詞性問題不大，關鍵是不認識的單詞如何處理。我們課上講過，不認識的單詞分兩種，一種是可以通過單詞的后綴去猜想的單詞，一種是純不會的單詞，無后綴可猜。那么我們首先肯定是勾兌出自己認識的單詞，一般為中高考范圍內詞匯，并標出詞性。其次，勾兌那些通過后綴可以判斷詞性的單詞�？季V中明確規(guī)定，選詞部分只對四類單詞進行考查，形容詞、動詞、名詞和副詞。只要熟記課上我們給大家總結的這四類詞常見的后綴判斷法，那么這類單詞的詞性不難判斷。也就是說，即使我們不認識一部分單詞是什么意思，但依然能準確判斷詞性。對于純不會的單詞也不于糾結，先放在那里，我們說長難詞不是選詞考查的重點，無技巧可猜的單詞很可能是作為干擾選項，我們可以用排除法做。
- 回到原文，缺什么成分補什么成分，一般只讀空格句。由于該部分分配到的時間有限，且它相對完形來講，相對弱化語境，所以我們沒有必要一句一句地讀，而一般只需讀空格前后。語法不好的同學也不必擔心，因為該部分的語法點只會考查基礎的名動形副成分的判定，這部分課上也是給大家總結過的。
- 選詞。不要指望一步到位，我們要在有限的時間里拿到高分數，這一步一定要注意我們選詞的順序。當詞性判斷好，后排除剩下兩個單詞，一個認識，一個不認識時，一定首先考慮將我們認識的單詞帶入原文，如果意思合適就選該單詞，如果不合適，選擇不認識的那個單詞。
- 真題解析
Physical activity does the body goodand there's growing evidence that it helps the brain too. Researchers in the Netherlandsreport that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own,_26_to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a_27__of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic _28_, investigators found thatthe more children moved, the better their grades were in schools,__29_in the basic subjects of math, Englishand reading.
The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schoolsstruggle to _30_on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S __31_in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be _32_ exclusive . Physical activity can improve blood _33__to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity , which are _34__to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve __35__and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they’re running around, they may actually be exercising their brains as well.
A )attendance B)consequently C) currentD)depressing
E)dropping F)essential G)feasible H)flow I)mood
J)mutually K)particularly L)performance M)review
N)survive O)tend
答案速查：
26.O）tend
27.M) review
28.L) performance
29.K)particularly
30.N)survive
31.E)dropping
32.J)mutually
33.H)flow
34.F)essential
35.I)mood
題目詳解：
首先，我們讀下首段首句。本文主要講的是體育鍛煉不僅對身體有益，對大腦也是有好處的。
第二，我們整理一下選項，標出詞性。首先標出認識的單詞，相信下列單詞一定是大多數同學都認識的，因為是中考高范圍內的詞匯。第一組單詞如下：
B)consequently adv.
E)dropping v.
F)essential a.
H)flow v./n.
I)mood n.
K)particularly adv.
L)performance n.
M)review n./v.
N)survive v.
O)tend v.
其次，根據后綴猜一部分單詞。第二組單詞如下：
A )attendance n.
D)depressing v./a.
G)feasible a.
J)mutually adv.
另外就是純不認識的單詞，第三組單詞如下：
C) current
第三，回到原文，只讀空格句。
26題：該空所在句可以簡化成children who get more exercise ___ to have higher GPAs， 主語children,且全文為一般現在時，此處缺原形動詞，符合條件對選項有HMNO,根據文意，該句要表達的意思是“經常鍛煉的孩子往往GPA也高”，故符合條件對只有O) 選項，tend to do “傾向于，往往”。
27題：in a ___ of 14 studies, 此處需要的單詞為可數名詞單數形式，觀察第一組認識的選項HILM中，只有M) review代入， a review of 表示“回顧”，故答案為M.
28題: physical activity and academic___，空格前的and表示并列，故判定該處缺名詞，在認識的第一組單詞中排查，還有選項HIL，根據文意，該處表示“學業(yè)表現”的意思，故答案為L.
29題：該處缺副詞，符合條件的第一組單詞中有BK，根據文意，要表達的意思是“鍛煉越多，成績越好，尤其在一些基礎學科”，故答案為K.
30題：struggle to___on small budgets,不難看出，該處需要一個原形動詞，優(yōu)先排查第一組認識的單詞，HN符合條件，再結合文意，表達“依靠很少的預算努力過活”，故答案為N)survive.
31題：with standardized test scores in the US___in recent years, 該處考查with表示伴隨狀態(tài)的用法，with+名詞+現在分詞，該結構表示動作的主動和進行。后文說“學校管理者認為學生應該花更多的時間在教室里而不是操場上”，顯然空格所在句要表達的意思是“學習成績下降”， with scores dropping 符合題意和語法結構，故答案為E.
32題：該處缺副詞，先看第一組單詞，B)consequently 表示“因此”的意思，代入后“但研究表明，成績和鍛煉并不因此排斥”，看似能說得通，但與前一句并不構成因果關系，故排出，再排查第二組靠后綴猜的單詞中J) mutually 是副詞，盡管不認識是“相互地”的意思，但也能用排除法選出答案為J. 這里表示“成績和鍛煉不相互排斥”。
33題：improve blood ___ to the brain.根據文意，應該表達改善血流量。該處為名詞修飾名詞，flow（流量）符合題意，故答案為H.
34題：which are ___ to learning , 該處需要形容詞，第一組單詞中F)essential (重要的)符合題意，代入文意為：對學習很重要，故答案為F.
35題：該空缺名詞，第一組認識的單詞中I) mood (情緒) 代入為“改善情緒”符合題意，故答案為I.
通過對真題的分析，我們不難發(fā)現，選詞部分考察的重點是詞匯和語法，但這并不意味著同學們需要識記海量單詞和弄通多么高深的語法知識。詞匯的考查重點在于詞性的判斷，語法只需掌握名詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞四大類詞性成分的判定即可，而這一部分的知識點正是我們課堂上給大家總結過的。另外，動詞和名詞依然是重點考查的詞性。
三、備考建議
- 時間安排
鑒于選詞部分在閱讀中的比例只占5%， 建議同學們在該部分投入的時間控制在5-7分鐘。如果花費時間過長，勢必會影響后面的仔細閱讀，得不償失。
- 答題順序
建議放在整個閱讀部分的后做。對于習慣按順序答題的同學，盡量控制好答題速度，不要戀戰(zhàn)。
- 解題步驟要點：
1）抓主題句 （首段首句必出主題句 ）
2）整理選項，標詞性 （眼熟的先勾兌，眼生的靠后綴）
2）回原文，缺啥補啥 （一般只看空格句，名動形副一鍋端）
4）選詞拿分 （千萬不要猶猶豫豫，我已努力其他隨天意）
- 知識儲備
- 常見的后綴判斷法（詳見表1）
- 四大詞性的語法成分判定（詳見表2）

講到這里，大家是否還覺得選詞部分“高不可攀”呢？希望大家能夠把握好選詞填空5%的比重，提高閱讀單項的得分點，同時預祝大家在四、六級英語考試中都能取得理想的成績！

第三套
Passage 2 性格與壽命
南京新東方卜銀
南京新東方艾偉
南京新東方袁靜
51. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is ______
A. to see whether people’s personality affects their life span
B. to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their health
C. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life
D. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity
51. A 主旨題。由專有名詞 定位至第一段末句，題目問的是研究目的是什么，去前一句找答案，問句中提到personality與longevity的關系，這個研究就是圍繞二者關系展開的，縱觀四個選項，A項提到personality 和life span，故答案為A.
B項lifestyle，C項the role of exercise 文中均沒有提到，屬于無關信息，D項all the factors （所有因素），而文中只提到了性格與壽命的關系，故排除。在此提醒各位考生，對于過于絕對化的選項，選擇的時候一定要慎重，多為干擾選項。
52. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?
A. They have a good understanding of evolution
B. They are better at negotiating an agreement
C. They generally appear more resourceful
D. They are more likely to get over hardship
52.D 根據順序定位原則和題干關鍵詞outgoing and sympathetic people定位到第二段末句，those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. 縱觀四個選項，D項get over hardship 是對make it through tough times 的同義替換，故為答案。
A項 evolution B項agreement均為非定位區(qū)間的干擾信息，C項干擾性較強，并不是appear resourceful, 而是擁有資源以使他們渡過難關，語意的重點在to do后面。
53. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?
A. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life
B. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times
C. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity
D. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity
53.C題干問這項研究成果能或多或少證實我們的哪些期望？題對段的順序原則可以定位到原文第三段，根據原文的Increasingly, however, other characteristic that you might consider advantages had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer.判定選C。
54. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?
A. Children’s personality characteristics are invariably determined by their mothers
B. People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die sooner
C. Mothers’ influence on children may last longer than fathers’
D. Mothers’ negative personality characteristics may affect their children’s life spans.
54.D題干問關于挪威媽媽們的研究顯示了啥？根據題干中的挪威媽媽，很快可以定位到原文倒數第二段，根據原文That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that, 這里的found that是關鍵詞，上過我課同學都應該知道的，它后面就是答案。所以這一題選D。
55. What can we learn from the findings of the two studies?
A. Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short one’s life span
B. Longevity results from a combination of mental and physical health
C. Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.
D. Health is in large part related to one’s lifestyle
55.B原文：Personality isn’t destiny (命運), and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.
題干問從這兩項新的研究成果可以得出什么？這是后一題，根據題對段的順序原則，應該從原文后一段找答案，根據But both studies show that long life isn’t just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.確定答案選B。
根據以上解析，我們清楚的看到，大部分的仔細閱讀題，主要還是靠定位，此處附上定位的標準步驟以及仔細閱讀的做法：
定位方法
讀題干，劃出定位詞(名詞(專名)/人名/引言/關鍵性動詞/原因/三個為佳)，然后按照順序原則(即第一題對應第一段，以此類推)定位到原文的相應段落，然后精讀/分析，后答題。
仔細閱讀做法
①先讀題，了解題干信息→②劃定位詞（大寫/人名/關鍵性動詞/名詞）→③按順序原則回原文定位，找到區(qū)間，答案不跨段，一定在定位區(qū)間附近，所以上讀讀，下讀讀→④根據區(qū)間分析選項→⑤綜合運用閱讀文章的技巧和排除法
