对于六级阅读中的选词填空，一直是大家心中的痛。这道题分数占比不高，但是难度稍大。因为本题更多的是考察对于单词识别，语法认知和整体的逻辑的把控。而在对于单词识别的方面，因为本题主要考察名词，动词，形容词和副词。其中又是名词和动词居多，所以同学们在完成题目的时候可以通过判断词性在进行排除。在完成中，注意动词的多种形式，例如v-ing， v-ed，和过去分词形式。

做题步骤：

1. 先把词库中的词进行词性和意思标注

2. 适当进行归类

3. 认真阅读开头段的内容

4. 通过空格前后的词辨别词性，根据上下文的逻辑和语义进行甄选。

5. 核查

Part III      Reading comprehension              (40 minutes)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single through the center. You may not use any of the word in the bank more than once.

Let’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can’t seem to keep their inner monologues (独白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain   26   better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.

According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to    27    mental pictures helps people function quicker.

In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty   28   and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were   29   to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips   30   . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t, the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that  31  the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.

Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve   32   matured is not a great sign of   33  . The two professors hope to refute that idea,   34   that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.

Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any   35  , there’s still such a thing as too much information.

答案及解析

26. focused

【解析】首先判断此处填入形容词。同时根据此处几个并列关系stay on task, remain ____ better and show improved perception capabilities均表示正向的能力，所以在形容词里判断应该是focused，表示保持更好的关注。

27. trigger

【解析】判断此处填入动词，进一步判断to do，需要填入动词原形。所以就只能在incur 和trigger中选择，根据意思来选择“触动，触发”。本题的难度在于incur这个词较难，可能对导致判断失误。

28. volunteers

【解析】本题应填入名词。根据本句“在一个实验中，… ”,所以是需要实验对象,选择表示人的为志愿者

29. instructed

【解析】判断此处填入动词，进一步判断were + …, 需要填入过去分词表示被动。另根据上句介绍实验，所以本句要填入实验的介绍。

30. sealed

【解析】判断此处填入形容词。Half were instructed to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips sealed.在这并列句中，and 连接实验对象一半是说出…, 而另一半者需要让他们的嘴唇是密封的。前后正好形成对比关系。

31. uttering

【解析】判断本句需要填入一个动词。根据句子成分____ the name of a common product 做that从句的主语，所以需要填入一个doing 的形式，claiming 和uttering之间选择一个。但是claiming的语义更倾向为宣称，断言之意，所以uttering更为合适。

In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that ____ the name of a common product …  helped quicken someone’s pace 

32. apparently

【解析】根据位置应填入表示程度的副词。apparently 则在语义上更为合适。

33. brilliance

【解析】根据… of …, 空格需要填入名词。根据although…表示上下分句为转折关系，前半句说“通过这样的任务可以提高孩子们的学习”，所以后面句子表示“即便你这样做，也并不能作为智慧的标志”。

34. claiming

【解释】本空应该填入表示表示伴随的副词。因为前后句子表明主句不缺成分，那么空格后面接了一个从句，所以说明空格的词是主语发出的动作，但是需要使用非谓的形式，答案就需要加入v-ing 的形式。同时语义上又表达，两位专家的结论，claiming为最佳选择。

35. volume

【解析】本空应该填入名词。在剩下的名词中选择，同时根据语义前后复现too much information ，所以前面填入At any volume对于任何的量来说…
