1.3.2.　短文填空命題分析與應(yīng)試技巧

短文填空的考查形式是從四個選項中選出最適合填入短文空白處的一項。每篇文章下設(shè)三道題。

短文填空文章的類型包括電子郵件、書信和新聞等，因為新聞包括新聞報道和廣告等，所以內(nèi)容比較廣泛。這一部分看似是Part 5完成句子和Part 7文章的結(jié)合體，但是題型大體可分為三類：一是不需要閱讀全文、只要瀏覽空格前后部分就可以找出答案的題目；二是需要通讀全文、把握文意后進(jìn)行解答的題目；三是需要結(jié)合文意和語法進(jìn)行回答的題目。

與Part 5類似，這一部分也考查詞匯、語法題，所以需要考生在掌握一定的詞匯語法的基礎(chǔ)上，理解整篇文章的內(nèi)容。在做題時，不要孤立地針對個別句子尋找答案，要縱觀全文，掌握文章脈絡(luò)，進(jìn)行推理判斷。例：

From: Helen Pierce, Dallas Engineering

To: Yolanda Spencer, Opto Technology

Subject: Meeting

Dear Yolanda,

I am writing to let you know I __150__ at the Crowne Hotel on Fort Street. I arrived on Monday night to attend an industry conference. I will head back to Dallas on Saturday morning, so I hope we can meet up sometime on Friday for coffee in the city. Do you think this will be possible? Please __151__ to this email to let me know about your availability. If we're unable to meet this time, then hopefully we can get together at next week's tradeshow in Pasadena.

To be honest, my motive for meeting with you is to lure you to Dallas Engineering. I would love the opportunity to speak to you in person about the new __152__ in our executive team. You are just the sort of talented and hard-working professional that we are looking for, and I'm sure you can do well at our firm. During our meeting, I hope I can convince you to consider moving to Dallas! Cheers,

Helen Pierce

150．(A) stay

(B) stayed

(C) am staying

(D) have stayed

【答案】C

【解析】根據(jù)下文可知“現(xiàn)在我住在Crowne Hotel”，所以C項正確。一般現(xiàn)在時表示恒久不變的事實或現(xiàn)在不斷反復(fù)的習(xí)慣，所以不符合文意。

151．(A) answer

(B) post

(C) submit

(D) respond

【答案】D

【解析】此處表示“回復(fù)本封郵件”，選擇D。respond應(yīng)答。respond to對…作出反應(yīng)。

152．(A) recruit

(B) opening

(C) resource

(D) conflict

【答案】B

【解析】根據(jù)上下文，可知他們要討論的是職位問題。所以B項符合文意。opening空缺的職位。recruit新職員。conflict矛盾，沖突。
