【評析】這是一篇討論「僱主和他們所需要的大學生技能」 的文章。今年四級的完型填空,涉及5處名詞,2處介詞,6處動詞,4處形容詞和3處副詞。第82題稍難,像80和85都可以通過上下文判斷出來,其餘部分只要在句子內部或者句子之間進行上下文邏輯比對或語法搭配,即可完成。詞義辨析考查較多,考查學生詞彙的儲備量,因此,考生要特別注意四級詞彙的牢固掌握。
67.
【答案】reveals
【解析】第一段提出話題,「據一項最新調查顯示,現在的僱主們害怕他們僱不到符合要求的畢業生」,launch意思為「發起一場運動」,submit意為「提交,服從」,generate生成,reveal透露,揭露,顯示。這裡根據段意,reveal最合適。
68.
【答案】staff
【解析】根據句意,基本有一半的組織機構告訴調查者他們在努力尋找具有四個方面(科學、技術、工程和數學)才能的職員。這裡partners,audience, officials顯然不符合題意。
69.
【答案】while
【解析】這裡和前面已經敘述的事實構成並列,「同時,更多公司預測,接下來的三年他們都將會遭遇僱員四缺現象(科學、技術、工程和數學知識技能欠缺)」,因此排除其他三項。選while。
70.
【答案】shortages
【解析】由第二段句首struggling可判斷,機構組織尋找這些人才非常不易,那麼這種人才顯然是不夠的,短缺的。absence是表示「缺席,不在」,不能描述短缺,因此排除。此題的另一個關鍵是確定experience的詞性,動詞。
71.
【答案】surveyed
【解析】第三段用一句話簡介經過工業聯盟調查了69個行業和組織,首先排除D和C,search是指搜查;細查某處以搜尋某人或某物,搜索;而survey是指調查某部分人的行為、意見等(通常以詢問方式進行),符合題意。
72.
【答案】private
【解析】根據上一題的意思,調查在公共和私人部門中展開,後面一句的together暗示and後面的這個空是和「公共的」對立的,因此填private。
73.
【答案】concerned
【解析】第四段描寫了這個調查的具體情況。有一半人…,這裡缺少動詞,confront一般和with連用,conform 符合,遵照,confuse 使混亂,使困惑,這裡根據上下文的意思,僱主們都擔心這種現象的發生,因此選concerned, be concerned 擔心的,煩惱的,憂慮的。
74.
【答案】recruit
【解析】本題考查詞義辨析,三分之一的被調查者坦言他們可能顧不到符合相應資質的僱員,只有recruit符合題意。
75.
【答案】As
【解析】根據句子結構判斷,前半句是一個伴隨狀語,「隨著…的深入進行,…需求越來越強」,而不是條件狀語或讓步狀語。
76.
【答案】for
【解析】這裡考查介詞搭配。這裡側重於描述執行進展的計劃的目的,選for。
