PART III CLOZE答案解析

1.正确答案为A）。这句话讲的是一个人的性格，说他／她心中的“理想的家”，所以正

确答案为ideal home。其余三项不合题义：perfect含义为“完满的”，imaginary为“想象中的”，而satisfactory为“满意的”。

2.正确答案为D）。虽然人们心中都有“理想的家”，但由于资金或地域的限制，这个理想

却很难实现。所以这里应该选择limitations（限制）。其他三个选项中，deficiencies意为“不足”，显然不能包括location；weaknesses意为“缺点”，不合题义；而insufficiencies 也是“不足，不够”，且常为不可数名词。

3.正确答案为B）。这句话接着第一段谈到的limitations in cash and location展开，涉及“资

金”方面的短缺。这四个选项中只有shortage和lack有这一含义。而lack常用lack of sth 结构，所以正确答案为shortage。Cut意思是“减少；削减”，而drain作为名词意为“消耗”。

4.正确答案为A）。get over意为“克服（困难等）”，get in意为“抵达；卷入”，get back

意为“回来；恢复”，get along意为“过活；相处；进展”。根据上下文意思，要表达的是毕业生刚毕业时怎样度过暂时的困难（主要是因经济未独立而造成的），A项正合此意。

5.正确答案为A）。四个选项中只有improve（改善，改进）符合上下文。即指“经济情

况好转”。enhance为“加强”，develop是“发展”，而proceed为“前进”。故，正确答案为A）。

6.正确答案为C）。从本句中破折号（起进一步解释的作用）后面的内容（不用自己洗衣

服；不用自己动手做饭；朋友多）就可以看出，这里应该填入advantages一词，而不是选项中的其他的贬义词。

7.正确答案为C）。这里要表达的是衣服通常和家里的衣服一起洗。A、D两项表达的意

思明显与文意不符。而always放在usually之后则为重复。

8.正确答案为A）。call over意为“点名”，call out意为“调动；大声呼叫”，这两项与文意

不符。call upon意为“拜访”，而这里讲的是在自己家中的好处，所以只有call in“叫来，召来”才是正确选项。

9.正确答案为B）。这里一直在谈论在家住的advantages，所以本句应该是住在家里不用付

帐单的意思，而不是“总是”（always）或者“有时”（sometimes）要付账单。选项C）little不是副词，不可选择。所以，正确答案只有rarely。

10.正确答案为D）。上文讲的是呆在家中的好处；通过On the other hand可以看出这里讲的

是留在家中的受局限之处：大大依赖于家中的情况。A项与文意不符，B项不能用作名词。C项作主语时谓语动词应用复数形式，而这里是单数形式，所以应用much。

11.正确答案为B）。你很爱你的家人，从内心深处来说，但是你是否适应他们的习惯，是

否能忍受他们对你的种种限制呢？从上下文来说，这里只有转折关系最为恰当。故，正确答案为B）。

12.正确答案为A）。B项“敌对的”和C项“不关心的”与文中意思不符。而good-tempered

是指一个人的习性，表达的是一个一般性或者习惯性的情况，用在prepared to be后面不恰当。tolerant意为“忍受的；容忍的”，是正确选项。

13.正确答案为C）。manage/make/strike a compromise意为“妥协；让步”，符合题意。make

an agreement 意为“达成协议”，make a consensus意为“达成共识”，make a deal意为“达成协议”，均与语境不符。

14.正确答案为A）。四个选项中，go about doing sth意思是“着手干某事”，go over为“过

一遍”，go in for为“从事”，而go through为“经受，经历”。本句谈的是在你与家人意见不一致，而又有了足够的资金，准备离开家的情况。所以，正确答案为A）。

15.正确答案为D）。这里谈的是住在家附近的好处。所以，这句话的意思是：对周围的环

境比较熟悉。显然，首先可以排除seldom和less。Probably也不合题义，因为自己“肯定”（certainly）对住了多年的地方很熟悉。所以，正确答案为D）。

16.正确答案为D）。A项不对，改为dependable（可靠的，可信赖的）才恰当。B项与C

项都只是the local paper的情况，不能用来修饰人。因此只有D项（可信赖的）是正确的选项。

17.正确答案为D）。从这一句可以看出，作者开始谈论另外一个情况：不住在家附近。所

以要选择new，而不是familiar。选项B）cold和C）humid跟文章内容无关。所以，正确答案为D）。

18.正确答案为B）。这里有轻微的转折对比意义，最恰当的选项当属B。从与上句逻辑关

系推出，选项B）while在这里可表示转折关系：“但是”。作者的意思是，住在一个new area，也会有报纸等等，“但是”你却要小心从事。

19.正确答案为C）。刚来乍到一个陌生地方，所以要小心从事。所以，正确答案选caution，

而不是enthusiasm（热情），hesitation（犹豫）或者concern（关注）。

正确答案为B）。“与第一周租金相当的费用”，这里应用equivalent（相等的，相当的）。the same后接介词as，A项不正确。equal后接to，也不正确。而similarity是“相似，类似”之意，不合句意

大学英语四级完型填空答题步骤及技巧

大学英语四级完型填空答题步骤及技巧 答题步骤 首先,我们来看完型填空的解题步骤 （一）通读全文，了解文章大意 阅读理解是做Cloze的基础, 因此应该在对全文有了较全面的了解的基础上, 再开始做选择题, 切忌为了节约时间, 在未掌握大意的基础上“拿起来就做, 见空就填, 边填边理解”.那样做的结果, 不仅不能够节约时间, 而且会因为只考虑到所填的词在短语或句子内是否可行而忽略了整篇文章的连贯和结构, 造成选择错误. 因此,速读全文要一气呵成，尽管有空格、 生词或不明白的地方，仍要快速读下去。读时要注意找出关键词、中心词，划出某些代表 人物和情节的词，以便于形成思路。 当然, 由于考试时间有限，只能用略读法(skimming)将全文快速浏览一遍，明确文章的主题、 体裁。尤其要认真阅读全文的第一句，因为第一句都是一个没有空格的完整的句子，对后 文的重要提示。 （二）抓住首尾句 在阅读时要特别注意文章的第一句和最后一句，因为它们通常是文章的主题句，是全文的 中心所在。从第一句中可以窥见作者的写作目的，把握作者的写作思路以及文章将要叙述 的内容。而最后一句是作者对文章内容的归纳总结，表明作者的观点和态度，有利于加强 考生对文章的理解。 （三）联系上下文，进行逻辑推理 完形填空中有些空格的四个选项从词汇搭配、语法和单句的角度考虑均行得通。但由于文 章是一个完整的统一体，词、句、段三者存在着内在逻辑关系，此时，需要在上下文中寻 找有关的提示或暗示，对文章的情节进行逻辑分析，抓住主要语言信息的词语，理顺句与 句之间的关系，确定合理的答案。 （四）逐题选择答案 浏览全文之后，开始进入逐题做答阶段，运用查读法(Scanning)，对所有选择项从语法、 搭配和语篇等方面进行反复推敲，从而选出最佳答案。做题原则是瞻前顾后，灵活答题。“瞻前顾后”，即先读所填词的句子，回顾上一句，兼顾下一句。如果一句中有两个空白待 填，在初定答案时要“双管齐下”，在两处同时试填，然后通读全句，确定答案。答题方法：1）择优法：根据文章及结构边读边填，如果能够立刻判定最佳答案的，不必再去逐个考证

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .
