类比解析
COLOR: SPECTRUM—色彩,色泽:光谱,范围
根据红宝释义无法“establish a precise relationship between the words in the given pair”
TONE: SCALE—音调:音阶
根据红宝释义无法“identify the answer choice containing words that are related to one another in most nearly the same way.”
如果我们查查Webster,答案则一目了然:
Spectrum--a continuum of color formed when a beam of white light is dispersed (as by passage through a prism) so that its component wavelengths are arranged in order
Scale--a graduated series of musical tones ascending or descending in order of pitch according to a specified scheme of their intervals
根据上述解释,比较容易地“recognize the relationship that exists between the words in a word pair and to recognize when two word pairs display parallel relationships.”
反义解析:
Diffuse—散布,漫射;漫射的,散漫的<红宝>
Diffuse--not concentrated or localized<Webster>
通过二者的比较, ETS设定的目标“looking for the word that is the most nearly opposite to the given word”是否很容易达到?!

SynonymsABANDON, DESERT, FORSAKE mean to leave without intending to return. ABANDON suggests that the thing or person left may be helpless without protection <abandoned children>. DESERT implies that the object left may be weakened but not destroyed by one's absence <a deserted town>. FORSAKE suggests an action more likely to bring impoverishment or bereavement to that which is forsaken than its exposure to physical dangers <a forsaken lover>. synonym see in addition RELINQUISH
vt /n 放弃,遗弃=forsake;放纵

b 一个List平均在12页左右,每天解决1页,即每天大概占用15分钟时间
c 参考者以回贴形式标明自己所查List,遵循1-51和回帖先后对应关系。
第N楼—第M个List
第N+1楼—第M+1个List
d 回贴内容为“我负责第M个List”
活动意义:
本活动出发点为“积跬步以千里,集众人之力量,继前人达高分”,每个人每天只需要15分钟,但我们有51个人;每个人只负责一个List,但我们有51个人;10-15天后,我们自己动手的Merriam-Webster就这样诞生!这是我们自己奋斗的结晶!这是我们辛勤的见证!这更是我们后期复习宝贵的类反资料!经过这一次的查阅,我们对单词的理解在思想上将更上一层楼,在词义上将更加准确,而这些,都是一个高分者必备的素质之一!
我们是为了自己,也是为了寄托后来者,这一本“MW解答红宝词汇”成形之后终将助己终将助人
