第四节、利用语法分析准确理解句子
  语法分析在阅读中发挥举足轻重的应用,在做题时进行精确句子分析,可以极大提高选择的准确率。


  1. Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.

  C) are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships
  D) can provide an answer to the problems of their people

  A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxes   
  B) forbid hunting foxes with dogs
  C) stop hunting wild animals in the countryside   
  D) prevent large-scale fox hunting
 第五节、利用词法、语法解其它题型
  一、阅读中词汇题

  词汇题里考到的词汇通常有两种情况:一种是超过大纲的生词;一种是简单词汇,但意义不常见。解这类题的最基本的方法是利用上下文来猜测词汇的大体意思,然后对照选项挑选最接近的表达。
  解词汇题有几种常见的技巧:
  (1)复述或例证
  First, Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country.
  The word “provincial” most probably means _____.(1999年6月)
  A) limited in outlook B) like people from the provinces
  C) rigid in thinking D) interested in world financial affairs
  解题思路:provincial后面的并列句子take more of an interest in local affairs是对provincial一词的复述。“对地方事务更感兴趣”表明provincial就是狭隘。A是最好的解释。后面举例子是确认第一推测的双保险。
  (2)比较与对比
  The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details. (1998年6月)
  The word“bested”(Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means _______.
  A) beat B) envied C) caught up with D) made the best of
  解题思路:
  原文中考查单词bested出现在比较句中,句子直译为“受限制吸烟者____了测试前刚抽过一根烟的人”。这个句子是并列句的后半部分,因此与前面的语义应该有平行关系。前文意思是“不吸烟的人比常吸烟的人多记住19%的最重要信息”。因此根据句式要求,后面bested所在句子也应该是甲大于/多于乙的关系。故A为正确选项。
  二、15选10文章填空
  利用语法常识快速缩小范围,方法是根据“左邻右里”确定所缺词汇所充当的句子成分、词性。看下例。
  In recent years, many Americans of both sexes and 1 ages have become interested in improving their bodies. They have become 2 to physical fitness. The need to exercise has almost become compulsive with many people who have a strong 3 to ‘be more physically fit’.
  By nature, Americans are enthusiastic and energetic about their hobbies and pastimes. They typically 4 this enthusiasm, and energy to jogging, running or other exercises. As a result, there are running clubs or gyms to join and many books and magazines to read about 5 fit.
  The wish to be physically fit is explained by a “passion” for good health. The high rate of heart attacks in the 1960s caused a sharp 6 on the part of the public in improving their bodies. Nowadays, middle-aged men, in particular, 7 a lot from heart attacks. Consequently, they are one group strongly interested in more physical exercise.
  In fact, many doctors 8 their patients to become more physically 9 , especially those who have sedentary (坐着的) jobs. It is interesting to note that the rate of heart attacks began to decrease in the 1970s and it is still decreasing. Physical fitness 10 enjoys a favored role in the United States. It is a new “love” that many Americans have treasured. Will this last long?Only time can tell--or until another “new passion” appears.
  A) keeping I) alwaysB) increase J) benefitC) consistently K) applyD) currently L) desireE) devoted M) encourageF) decrease N) challenging G) active O) variousH) suffer

 第二部分、词汇讲义
  一、扫除词汇死角、不择手段背单词


  1. 下载词汇表,编辑、打印成便携式卡片。
  2. 在每张卡片上注明背诵及每次复习的时间。
  3. 每次复习时遮住汉语注释部分,能说出汉语意义即为通过,否则做个记号,重点复习。
  3. 随时随地,走火入魔式复习。要善于利用零碎时间(3-5分钟)为复习一张卡片时间。
  10.22背 10.23复1 10.26复2 11.4复3abandon/ ə’bændən/ vt.丢弃;放弃,抛弃aboard/ ə’bɔ:d/ ad.在船(车)上;上船absolute/ ‘æbsəlu:t/ a.绝对的;纯粹的absolutely/ ‘æbsəlu:tli/ ad.完全地;绝对地absorb/ əb’sɔ:b/ vt.吸收;使专心abstract/ ’æbstrækt/ n.摘要abundant/ ə’bΛndənt/ a.丰富的;大量的abuse/ ə’bju:z, ə’bju:s/ vt.滥用;虐待 n.滥用academic/ ækə’demik/ a.学院的;学术的accelerate/ æk’seləreit/ vt.(使)加快;促进access/ ‘ækses/ n.接近;通道,入口accidental/ æksi’dentl/ a.偶然的;非本质的accommodate/ ə’kɔmədeit/ vt.容纳;供应,供给
  二、常见同义词用法错误辨析
  多数中国学生由于平时背单词时只记汉语解释,而词典或词汇表中汉语的解释非常笼统,很多英语单词的汉语解释相同或类似,结果使很多单词被误认为是同义词,最后在选择词汇题和选词造句时就出现了严重的问题!
  下面几个单词的用法在收集的错误中比例非常高,而在表达时由于其使用频率很高,因此必须保证在这些地方多加小心。注意下面列举的用法错误(划线部分的)属于词汇用法问题,而不是语法结构问题。
