2020年12月四级选词填空真题解析

新东方大学事业部上海分校 四六级组 王鑫

When my son completes a task, I can't help but praise him. It's only natural to give praise where praise is due, right? But is there such a thing as too much praise?

According to psychologist Katherine Phillip, children don’t benefit from _26_ praise as much as we’d like to think. “Parents often praise, believing they are building their child’s self-confidence. However, over-praising can have a _27_ effect,” says Phillip. “When we use the same praise _28_, it may become empty and no longer valued by the child. It can also become an expectation that anything they do must be _29_ with praise. This may lead to the child avoiding taking risks due to fear of _30_ their parents.”

Does this mean we should do away with all the praise? Phillip says no. “The key to healthy praise is to focus on the process rather than the _31_. it is the recognition of a child’s attempt, or the process in which they achieved something, that is essential,” she says. “Parents should encourage their child to take the risks needed to learn and grow.”

So how do we break the _32_ of praise we ‘re all so accustomed to? Phillip says it’s important to _33_ between “person praise” and “process raise”. “Person praise is _34_ saying how great someone is. It’s a form personal approval. Process praise s acknowledgement of the efforts te person has just _35_. children who receive person praise are more likely to feel shame after losing,” says Phillip.

答案

这一片选词填空较2020年7月和9月的难度来说，变低了。主要体现在上下文语境的重复概念变多，方便学生就近理解概念，填入最恰当的词。

B constant

该空缺修饰词，来形容praise“constant praise”表示为一直鼓励，和下文的“parents often praise”前后呼应。

G negative

该空缺修饰词，来修饰effect。“negative effect”表示消极效果，符合27开头的“however”，表示转折。

K repeatedly

该空缺副词，表示“当我们一直反复用相同的表扬时，表扬会变得空洞并且不再会孩子们重视”

L rewarded

该空表示“一致表扬会让孩子认为他们任何所作所为都必须被表扬所奖励”

C disappointing

上下句理解，孩子们希望被父母表扬，而“避免使得父母失望”，语法结构of之后要填v-ing,所以C最合适。

H outcome

该空缺名词，并且“rather than”要和前面的process构成对比关系，所以“outcome”结果最合适。

I pattern

该空缺名词，break表示打破。搭配理解，填入“打破我们习惯的表扬模式”最合适。这一句开头So也表示总结，首尾呼应，表示我们需要改变我们习惯的表扬模式。

D distinguish

该空缺动词原形，并且要和后边的概念区分相匹配，最合适的就是distinguish表示“要区分表扬人还是表扬过程”。

N simply

该空缺副词，并且引出概念，填入simply，表示“个人表扬就是仅仅说一个人多么棒”。

O undertaken

该空缺动词分词形式，并且在“过程表扬”概念中，填入undertaken，表示“过程表扬是在承认这个人所承担的事情”
