据很多考生反映， 新英语四级的篇章词汇结构题比较棘手，成了四级考试中一个不小的拦路虎，也是考生感到最为头痛的一个题型。这个题型最主要的还是集中考查了考生的英语基本功，比如说词性的辨别，常用搭配的掌握，以及上下文的衔接等等。基本上不存在技巧的问题，我还是始终坚持一个观点:考试中不否认有技巧的成分，但是任何技巧都是建立在实力的基础上的，希望这一点大家能明白。为了使大家更有效的备考07年6月23日的四级考试，下面就大学英语四六级考试委员会所给出的15选10的样题进行全面的剖析，指明复习方法，给出解题思路，解析重要考点，希望对大家有所帮助。
对于15选10的题型，解题步骤有四步:
第一步: 通读全文， 特别是每个段落的首末句，迅速抓住文章的主题和中心。
第二步: 对所给出的备选单词进行词性分类
第三步: 根据上下文意思进行填空 (结合样题详细讲解)
第四步: 检查核对。
解决15选10题型的五大绝招:
1) 词性判断
2) 常用搭配
3) 内在逻辑
4) 感情色彩
5) 语法常识
下面，我就针对样题，并结合解题方法，命题特点进行全面剖析:
When Roberto Feliz came to the USA from the Dominican Republic, he knew only a few words of English. Education soon became a __47__ "I couldn't understand anything," he said. He__48__ from his teachers, came home in tears, and thought about dropping out.
Then Mrs. Malave, a bilingual educator, began to work with him while teaching him math and science in his__49__ Spanish. "She helped me stay smart while teaching me English," he said. Given the chance to demonstrate his ability, he__50__ confidence and began to succeed in school.
Today, he is a__51__ doctor, runs his own clinic, and works with several hospitals. Every day, he uses the language and academic skills he__52__ through bilingual education to treat his patients.
Roberto's story is just one of__53__ success stories. Research has shown that bilingual education is the most__54__ way both to teach children English and ensure that they succeed academically. In Arizona and Texas, bilingual students__55__outperform their peers in monolingual programs. Calexico, Calif., implemented bilingual education, and now has dropout rates that are less than half the state average and college__56__rates of more than 90%. In El Paso, bilingual education programs have helped raise student scores from the lowest in Texas to among the highest in the nation.
注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答：
A) wonder I) hid
B) acquired J) prominent
C) consistently K) decent
D) regained L) countless
E) nightmare M) recalled
F) native N) breakthrough
G) acceptance O) automatically
H) effective
解题思路与命题点剖析:
当考生通读完文章后，接着要对所给备选词汇进行词性分类:
名词: E) nightmare G) acceptance N) breakthrough A) wonder
形容词: J) prominent F) native L) countless K) decent H) effective
副词: C) consistently O) automatically
动词: B) acquired I) hid D) regained M) recalled
然后根据上下文的衔接，基本语法知识，固定搭配，词义感情色彩进行答题。
47) 根据基本语法常识判断， 在该空前有一个冠词 “ a” ，说明该空应该填一个名词，而且进一步推断，一定为可数名词并且是单数名词，然后我们就从刚才词性归类后的名词中进行寻找答案。 由此可以进一步缩小范围，由15选1变成了4选1。 我们根据上下文还可以看到， 上一句提到Roberto Feliz只知道一些英语单词，而该空后面一句的意思是他说我不理解任何事情，由此可以判断出47空的名词感情色彩应该为负面或者说为贬义，由此缩小了包围圈，在这4个名词中，有贬义含义的只有E) nightmare， 因此我们迅速锁定答案。
总结: 该题目的考查重点为词性分类以及对上下文感情色彩的判断。
