2、能会出现一些专有名词或是非常用的词汇，对于学生的词汇掌握能力也有一定的提升要求。此外，由于翻译部分在四六级考试中属“扣分不严”项目，这样的改变，对于给分把握不会产生太大影响。o之前的完形填空，让不少学生觉得难度很大，加之在试卷中的位置安排靠后，通常学生仅有20分钟的时间来答题，最后的效果也不佳，从多年的实际效果看来，完形填空确实是整个试卷中失分率较高的题目，此番取消也是利大于弊。对于一些想在完形填空中投机的同学，蒙选项的可能性则将不再存在，这也要求考生必须回到翻译上做足功课。快速阅读样题Section B Directions:In this section,you are going to
