谈一下词汇题到底如何来做的问题。我们尽量在考试前背好单词,但依然可能存在这样的问题:我们在考试现场考的词汇不认识,在这种情况下我们如何解决呢?其实很好解决,因为文章上下文是有关系的,我们可以利用上下文的关系来直接去判定,这样我们就可以在不认识的情况下把题目做出来了或者认识这个词但考的是一个生辟的含义情况下把含义猜出来。首先我们要认出词汇题,这个相信不难大家都会判断,TOEFL的词汇题考是都是近义词,题目常见的问法如下:the word(or phrase) X is closest in meaning to ……,the word(or phrase) x could be best replaced by
看清题型后寻求解决方法--阅读上下文,找到关系常考的关系如下:
1) 直接反义—该词前或后出现的内容提示我们是反义关系。从中文看逻辑会看的更清楚,我们先举个中文的例子:xx是个---人,相反她是一个内向的人。从后面的内向可以推出前面应该是个外向之类的词。所以我们要关注的是 rather than instead unlike contrast on the contrary.
For example: The main conflict in the novel is between a mother who places a high value on hard work and honor and a son who repudiates his mother’s values instead preferring the easier path to fortune and celebrity
问题: the word repudiates in the passage in closest in meaning to __
A) refuses to accept B) lives up to C) tries to understand D) makes the best of
For example: The oxidation of exhaust gases is one of primary sources of the world’s pollutions. The brown haze that is poised over some of the world’s largest cities is properly called photochemical smog.
The word poised in this sentence is closest in meaning to__
A) interacting B) sitting C) blowing D) poisoning
首先从搭配关系上可以排除 interacting ,interact with 然后可以从上下文关系排除 blowing over 因为吹走了就是不会有smog.而poison考试中及物才有pollute的含义,不及物只有一种含义表示投毒。
5)形容词修饰名词关系判定—不是每个形容词都可以修饰所有的名词。例如打饭的队伍不说很粗而要说很长,尽管事实上很多人不排队造成了很粗的感觉。
For example:when the gas reaches the air, it comes into contact with available oxygen from atmosphere and combines with the oxygen to produce nitrogen dioxide (No2),which is a gas with a brownish hue.
The word hue in this sentence is closest in meaning to
A)color B)odor C)thickness D)smoke
对于本题你会发现有个小词brownish 呈褐色的,首先从形容词修饰名词关系可以直接排除B odor C thickness, 其次可以通过 a gas with brownish hue前面的 gas 排除 D smoke,用词重复。所以正确答案是A。作者: approach 时间: 2006-6-3 23:46:47
