Is there any way to limit Term Frequency but keep function of proximity matching ?

for example:

#1 Sue ate the alligator Sue leave. Then Sue work.  
#2 Sue look the alligator.  
#3 Sue alligator  
#4 Sue never goes anywhere without her alligator-skin purse

if search sue alligator

We expect the order: #3 #2 #1 #4

also #1 and #2 have the same score

If this is possible, then what's the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Jun
