一、学位英语词汇部分答题技巧 词汇试题的正确选择在很大程度上取决于考生词汇量的大小,以及运用词汇能力的强弱。但是了解一些解题技巧也会对考试有一定的帮助。下面简单介绍几种词汇测试题中常见的应试技巧。

一、词组与习惯用法辨析题 1)动词短语搭配 英语动词短语是英语的难点之一,它是由动词+副词、动词+介词、动词+副词+介词几种方式构成的惯用组合,具有自己独特的意义。其意义、语法、用法等常使考生感到困难。首先,动词短语的词义不是动词和副词、介词等小品词的简单组合,往往难以从字面上理解。其次,动词短语的使用场合及范围不易弄清楚。第三,同义、近义和反义的动词短语容易混淆。要学好英语,必须学会使用动词短语。测试动词短语的题目在词汇题中占有很大的比例,其目的是测试考生辨别和运用动词短语,尤其是同一动词所构成的不同动词短语的能力。

eg. The car won't start because the battery was _______ . A. run up B. run down C. run off D. run over 答案 B。 这是一个因果关系的句子。“汽车为什么发动不起来?”原因是“电池电力不足或没有了”。另外,我们注意到有系动词的搭配,表明四个词组要取及物动词的意义,这样才能构成被动语态。四个选项中,只有run down有“使电用完”之意,其它三个选择项与本句意思不合。run up表示“增长、积欠”,run off做及物动词时表示“快速打印出或写出”;run over“碾过、轧过”。如果考生掌握了这四个动词短语的含义,就会作出正确的选择了。

2)习惯用语题 英语习语(English idiom)具有特有的、约定俗成的结构形式,如“步行”,可说on foot,不说by foot,而“乘车”要说by bus,不说on bus。再如anything but与nothing but两个词组意义完全不同anything but的基本意思是not at all,而nothing but的基本意思是only。英语中的习语令人眼花缭乱,其构成形式有的甚至无规律可循。它们通常由两个或两个以上的词组成,不能任意拆开。其意义常常不是单词意义的简单结合,而是另外具有新的意义。因此,应把词组作为一个整体来记。测试的目的是检验考生对常用词组的理解和运用能力。

eg. Please don't stand in the kitchen door, you're ______ . A .in a way B. by the way C. in no way D. in the way 答案 D。不要站在厨房门口,你挡路了。 这四个选择项都是固定词组,都有自己的含义。in a way表示“在某种程度上或某点上”;by the way“顺便说一下”;in no way“决不”;in the way表示“挡路,妨碍”;“阻止”。根据题意答案应为D。

学生面对这些貌似杂乱无章,没有规律可循的习惯表达法,一方面要广读多看,博词强记;另一方面还要会寻找规律,学会归纳,避免机械记忆而事倍功半。 总而言之,解答词汇题的先决条件是对词汇的理解和辨析。因此考生平时要注意弄清楚词的内涵和外部关系,尤其是要注意了解名词、动词、形容词等实词彼此之间以及它们与介词或副词之间的搭配关系。与此同时,还要留心词的惯用法,把习语作为一个整体储存在脑海里。

再比如: You should have been more patient _____ that customer. A. of B. with C. for D. at be patient with sb. 是一个固定搭配,意为“对某人有耐心”,因此该题的答案是B.

二、通过区别同义或近义词选择答案 词汇区别是词汇测试的一个重要方面,它主要是对同义词或近义词在含义与用法上进行区别。这类试题的选项是四个词性相同、词义相同或相近的词。测试的目的在于检测考生辨别词义和运用词汇的能力。词汇区别一直是学生在学习英语过程中遇到的一大难题。这主要是由于他们没有掌握汉英两种语言在词汇方面的差异,往往只注意英语的汉语释义,而忽略了其本身的内在涵义和用法。如:

In the theatre the actors are very ______ to the reaction of the audience. A. sensible B. sensitive C. emotional D. positive 答案是B. 本题的句意是:“在剧院里,演员对观众的反应很——”。四个选项意义分别为A. sensible 可以察觉的; B. sensitive 敏感的; C. emotional 容易动感情的; D. positive 积极的。根据题意判断只有选项B放在原句中符合逻辑。 三、根据上下文的逻辑含义以及主从句之间的关系选择答案 有些逻辑关系比较明显的句子,选择答案时,可以根据所给部分之间的提示,选出合乎逻辑的答案。

1.利用表示增加与递进关系的词 这样的词包括:and, again, also,too, besides, moreover, furthermore, but, in addition to等。

例:The house is very _____, and furthermore, it’s too far from the town. A. neat B. spacious C. expensive D. fashionable 分析四个选项,我们可以看到选项中的所有单词都可以用来修饰句子的主语——房子。句子中间表示递进关系的furthermore在帮助我们判断时非常关键。它后面所跟的是描述房子离城太远,这是房子的缺点。根据逻辑推理,它前面的分句说明的也一定是缺点。因此选项中的A、B、D都不对,因为它们都是在说明房子的优点,故而答案只能是C,若题句中的and furthermore改成but ,那么选项就要改变了。

2.利用表示比较与对比关系的词 这样的词包括:but, however, although, in contrast, instead of 等。 例:A lamp is concrete and you can touch it, but its brightness is _____. A. academic B. abstract C. absurd D. absolute 句子中表示对比关系的连接词是but,从这一信号词中我们可以推断句子前后两部分所阐述的内容正好是相对的,与concrete相对的是abstract,因此B是本题答案。 3.利用表示因果关系的词 这样的词包括:because ,so, as a result, thus, consequently, therefore等。 例:He is a very _____ person because he has done a lot of good things for the local people.

A. respectable B. respectful C. respective D. respecting 本句后半部分是由because引导的原因状语从句,意思是“他为当地人做了许多好事”,从这一原因中,我们自然能推断出他应该受到别人对他的尊敬。表示“被人尊敬的,值得尊敬的”应当是A。

4. 利用表示让步关系的词 这类词包括:if, although, in spite of, while, whereas等。 例:Although Asian countries are generally more _____ in social customs than Western countries, there have been several notable examples of women leaders in both China and India.

A. consistent B. comprehensive C. confidential D. conservative 本句although引导的是让步状语从句,因此可以推断主句中的事实与前面所出现的有关亚洲国家的特点正相反。与后半句中所阐述的“中国和印度都有一些著名的妇女领袖”这一事实相反的亚洲国家的特点应当是“在社会习俗方面比西方国家要保守”。因此选项中的D是正确答案。

四、近形词汇题 英语词汇中,有一些拼写很相似,但它们的词义或词性却不同。考试中经常用形近词来干扰考生作出正确选择。其目的是要检测考生辨别词形和运用词汇的能力。如果考生平时不善于对形近词进行自觉的对比,对它们的差异不甚了解,那就会在答题时绯徊不定,难以作出正确的选择,甚至张冠李戴。

eg. Though the long term__________ cannot be predicted, the project has been approved by the committee.

A. affect B. effect C. effort D. afford 答案 B。尽管工程的远期效果还无法预测,委员会还是批准了这项工程。这四个词拼写相似,但它们的词义或词性却不同。affect动词,意为“影响”;effect为名词,意为“效果”;effort名词,意为“努力”;afford动词,意为“负担得起;提供”。 掌握了它们之间的这些差异,你会毫不犹豫地选择B。

五、根据常识判断选择 在词汇部分,偶尔有常识题出现,考生可根据自己对常识的掌握来选择答案。还有些词汇测试题,从词的意义去考虑,填入多个选择项都可以。在这种情况下,如果借助语法结构对题目进行分析,往往可以找到正确答案。

例:Experts say walking is one of the best ways for a person to _____ healthy. A. preserve B. stay C. maintain D. reserve 从四个选项动词的词义来看,哪个都行。但动词后面直接跟形容词作表语的只有stay,其它三个动词都是及物动词,后面应当接宾语。因此答案是B。

六、排除法 在做词汇题时,常会遇到一时难以判断哪一个是正确答案的情况。这时不妨从不符合题义的选项着手,将非正确答案逐一排除,剩下的多半就是正确答案。此方法同样适用阅读理解,语法及完形填空部分的试题,在此不再一一举例。

阅读理解专项练习Passage 1The secret of being born lucky is a summer birthday, with May babies most likely to enjoy a lifetime’s good fortune, according to a study of more than 40,000 people. The time of year at which you are born has an enduring influence on levels of optimism and self-reported luck, according to a research by British and Swedish scientists. May was the luckiest month in which to be born, with 50 percent of those born then considering themselves lucky, while October was the least lucky month, with just 43 percent claiming good fortune.The findings add to growing evidence that the phenomenon of luck is not all down to chance, but is affected by a person’s general disposition. Other research has shown that whether people think themselves fortunate depends less on objective success than on having a “glass half-full” or “half-empty” approach to life. “What we are seeing suggests that something is influencing how people perceive their luckiness. My hypothesis is that people create their own luck by traits such as optimism, that luck is a psychological phenomenon rather than a matter of blind chance,” said Profe ssor Richard Wiseman, who led the research.The pattern of the result, with those born in spring and in summer reporting themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter, could have two potential explanations, Professor Wiseman said.1.According to the passage, whether people think themselves lucky or not dependson the following factors EXCEPT _______.A. one’s objective successB. one’s general dispositionC. one’s attitude to lifeD. one’s place of birth2. According to the passage, those who were born in ________ regard themselves as the most fortunate.A. MarchB. AprilC. MayD. October3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Optimistic people tend to be luckier.B. Devoted people tend to be luckier.C. Objective success is more important than one’s general disposition in feeling lucky.D. People drinking more water tend to be luckier.4. Which of the following words can be best replace the word “trait” (Line7, Para.2)?A. Quality.B. Expectation.C. Belief.D. Idea5. What is the best title for the passage?A. Luck is Something BornB. Luck is Not All Down to ChanceC. Luck is a Matter of Blind ChanceD. Luck and AgePassage 2Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the 16th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large “hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about.1. Leonardo Da Vinci _______.A. said that man would fly in the sky one dayB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. made designs for flying machinesD. drew many beautiful pictures of birds2. Eight hundred years ago an Englishman _______.A. made a kind of flying machineB. tried to fly with wings made of chicken feathersC. wanted to build a kind of balloonD. tried to fly on a large bird3. In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly _______.A. got badly woundedB. succeeded in flyingC. lost his lifeD. flew only 8 minutes4. The very first air passengers in the balloon were _______.A. two animalsB. the MontgolfiersC. two FrenchmenD. the King and Queen5. When did two Frenchmen rise above Paris?A. In December 1783.B. In September 1783.C. In the 17th century.D. In November 1783.Passage 3Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more nutritiously(有营养的) and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.Not only are people being more careful about what they eat, they are also concerned with how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so called “plastic” fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients(成分) in a quiet restaurant with a more leisurely atmosphere. At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxing dinner without phone or TV interruptions.While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological addiction(依赖). They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.The current waves of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations, newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classes, printing booklet articles, etc. to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet, of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to “diet addiction”.1. These days people are dieting more because _______.A. they have become fatter and fatterB. they have realized the danger of eatingC. they have become more health consciousD. they have taken better care of themselves2. What changes have people made in the atmosphere of mealtime?A. They are taking more time for each meal.B. They are eating in quiet restaurants with more leisurely atmosphere.C. At home they are eating without phone or TV interruptions.D. All of the above.3. “They look like skeletons” in the third paragraph most probably means ________.A. they are very prettyB. they are very uglyC. they are too thinD. they are starving4. The main idea of the last paragraph is about ________.A. how the organizations try to help people with dieting addictionB. what kind of media can be used to educate the publicC. where people with dieting addiction can go to ask for helpD. what causes the organizations to begin educating the public5. According to the passage, we can infer that the atmosphere of eating has something to do with ________.A. dietingB. mannersC. healthD. exercisingPassage 4Do you know who Benjamin Banneker was and what he did? Benjamin Banneker was a self-educated scientist at a time when most African Americans were slaves. Born a free black man in the British Colony of Maryland in 1731, he received some formal education, but he mostly borrowed books and taught himself science and mathematics. At 22, he borrowed a pocket watch, and without any training, figured out how to carve a working wooden clock that chimed each hour. Because of this clock, he became well known and people would visit him just to see his creation.Banneker ran his family farm from many years, but when he was in his late 50s, a neighbor’s son lent him a telescope. He became interested in astronomy, the stud y of the planets and stars, and again taught himself a new science. He made calculations of tides, sunrises and sunsets, and even predicted an eclipse. For several years he published an almanac of these calculations. Today, he is best known for publishing six almanacs, called “Benjamin Banneker’s Almanac” between 1792 and 1797.In the 1790s, Banneker also helped survey and lay out the land for Washington, D. C., which became the nation’s capital. For a look at Banneker’s amazing life, visit the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum in Ellicott City, Maryland.1. What was the status of most African-Americans at Banneker’s time?A. Most African-Americans could have formal education.B. Most African-Americans could be self-educated.C. Most African-Americans had freedom.D. Most African-Americans were slaves.2. What subjects did Benjamin teach himself?A. Science and mathematics.B. Science, mathematics and astronomy.C. Astronomy only.D. Six Almanac.3. He became famous at the age of 22 because of ______.A. a watchB. a telescopeC. a bookD. a clock4. The word “almanac” (Line 5, Para. 2) probably means ________.A. a bookB. an objectC. a surveyD. a diary5. Which of Mr. Banneker’s w orks is best known?A. Eclipse prediction.B. Helping surveying the capital.C. Benjamin Banneker’s Almanac.D. A wooden clock.Passage 5The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact, I dare not.The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear!” I cried.“Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.The clock stroke one. I was quite desperate now. I forgot all I had learned.I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.”My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.1. When the author was going over his lessons, all the others in the house were _______.A. quietly laughing at himB. outsideC. working in bedD. asleep2. The underlined word “wretched” in Para. 3 probably means ______.A. very happyB. very unhappyC. disappointedD. hopeful.3. Reviewing his lessons didn’t help him because _______.A. he hadn’t studied hard before the examinationB. he was very tiredC. his eyes lid wer e so heavy that he couldn’t keep them openD. it was too late at night4.

The best title for the passage would be ______.A. A Slow StudentB. Working Far into the NightC. The Night before the ExaminationD. Going over My LessonsPassage 6Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal pr paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest money. Other animals were used as money too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.1. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A. To sell a bicycle for $20.B. To get some money for old books at a garage sale.C. To buy things you need or want.D. To get paid for your work.2. Where were shells used as money in history?A. In the Philippines.B. In China.C. In Africa.D. We don’t know.3. Why did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A. Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B. Because it would be lighter for people to carry from place to place.C. Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D. Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.4. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?A. Because they are difficult for people to obtain.B. Because they themselves are expensive, too.C. Because they are not easy to carry around.D. Because they are easy to steal.5. Which do you choose as the best title for this passage?A. Money and Its UseB. Different Things Used as MoneyC. Different Countries, Different MoneyD. The History of MoneyPassage 7In Denmark, parents are allowed to set up a new school if they are dissatisfied with the school in the area where they are living. Although these schools have to follow the national course, they are allowed a lot of choices in deciding what to teach.Some of these new schools are called “small schools” because usually the number of pupils in them is only sixty, but a school has to have at least twenty-seven pupils. Cooleenbridge School in Ireland, is a small school similar to the ones in Denmark, it was set up by parents who came from Holland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, England and other parts of Ireland. They came because they wanted to live in the countryside and to grow their own food. In June 1986, they decided to start a school. They managed to get an old, disused primary school building and started with twenty-four children aged from four to twelve.The teachers say, “The important thing in school is doing, not sitting.” And so the courses include yoga, cooking, knitting, kite-making, music, fishing, drama and environmental river studies, as well as reading, writing, maths and science.1. What are the rules for setting up a new school in Denmark?A. Parents are allowed to set up their own school.B. The school has to follow the national courses.C.

To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support the idea.Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn’t watch television.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men run, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate. Thus, those who run the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1. The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that ________.A. they are too slimB. they work too hardC. they are too fatD. they lose too much body fat2. According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, ________ will have a weight problem.A. 30B. 50C. 100D. 1503. Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a weight problem?A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support that.D. We don’t know because the information is not given.4. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s _______.A. ate more food and had more physical activities.B. ate less food but had more activitiesC. ate less food and had less physical exerciseD. had more weight problems5. Modern scientific researchers have reported to us that ________.A. fat people eat less food and are less activeB. fat people eat more food than slim people and are more activeC. fat people eat more food than slim people but are less activeD. thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intakePassage 9Mass media, the tools of communication, can be divided into two groups: print media and electronic media. By print media, we mean books, newspapers and magazines. Electronic media include television, computer, radio and movie. Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered audience. They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers cause by time and space.Mass media make daily life easier for us in various ways. Firstly, they help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to obtain on our own.Secondly, mass media help us arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media. When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in newspapers or on TV. Because we are exposed to different points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate all sides of a certain issue.Thirdly, the media are used to persuade people. Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements. Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.Fourthly, the media also entertain. All media make efforts to entertain their audience. For instance, even though the newspaper is a prime medium of information, it also contains entertainment features. Television, motion picture, some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment. It is estimated that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.1.What makes it possible for people living in different places to communicate witheach other?A.

In the 16th century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built.Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone of his body and rested in peace.The first real step took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large “hot air balloon”. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fil l a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about.1. Leonardo Da Vinci _______.A. said that man would fly in the sky one dayB. built a kind of machine which never flewC. made designs for flying machinesD. drew many beautiful pictures of birds2.

The flashes reflected light could be seen several miles away. The enemy did not know what the flashes meant, but other Greek soldiers could understand the message.Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learn to send messages by beating on a series of large drums. Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways.
