选择填空-新四级选择高分攻略（下）
三看习惯用法：固定搭配Its effect was worldwide and it left more than 2,000 people dead and caused over eight billion pounds 53 of damage.
此处考的是worth这个词的特殊用法。它本是一个形容词，但可用？worth of sth, 来表明价值某物的某东西。
III.总结
选择填空考的是猜测词义的能力，其核心在于通过各种线索来确定词性和意义，从而实现成功匹配。解题方法也相应产生。
先通过词的后缀等对选项进行合理的分类，分不出的可先模糊处理。
再通过文章逐一确定空格所需要的词性和意义。它需要看句子中此词所处的位置，它的周边环境。
有时甚至需要跳出此句，看前文或后文。如指代词/句间连词告诉我们要向前寻找；而段首的抽象表达可能要从下文找到钥匙。
