What is not realized by many people/ What many people do not realize91. closely related to the lack of exercise點評:總體來說,這次四級考試不太難:閱讀理解部分,不管是快速閱讀, 還是常規(guī)閱讀, 題目設(shè)置都很簡單, 定位與替換基本上都能一眼看出來. 特別說一下使用頭發(fā)定位住處的這篇文章可能有點散, 文章有點抽象, 但是題目的設(shè)置并不復(fù)雜, 考生還可以通過選項對文章的抽象部分加以理解. 如果考生經(jīng)常參與論壇的外刊超精讀練習(xí)與討論, 經(jīng)常瀏覽相關(guān)的外刊網(wǎng)站, 做閱讀理解可以說是如履平地.選詞填空 與上一次考試相比, 簡單多了, 文章句子間的關(guān)系和思路都很容易讀懂, 候選詞都比較容易區(qū)分.完形填空部分基本上都是常見的搭配與表達, 如果經(jīng)常閱讀外刊或者上點點論壇或者上過點點四六級,外刊班的話, 你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)比如launch/issue a study/report, general support 等等搭配都是很常見的,而且都是經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的. 基本好的考生的完形填空錯誤一般不應(yīng)超過5個.也許唯一的難點是在聽力的長對話和3篇短文理解, 其難度相當(dāng)于小型的閱讀理解, 再加上許多考生平時忽視聽力練習(xí), 這個部分的失分可能會比較多. 聽力短期內(nèi)很難突破, 要想提高,必須堅持長期的練習(xí).
