托福閱讀詞匯題猜詞妙招

首先我們要認(rèn)出詞匯題，這個相信不難大家都會判斷。托福詞匯題考是都是近義詞，題目常見的問法如下：the word(or phrase) X is closest in meaning to ……,the word(or phrase) x could be best replaced by，看清題型后尋求解決方法--閱讀上下文，找到關(guān)系�？嫉年P(guān)系如下：

1）直接反義—該詞前或后出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容提示我們是反義關(guān)系

從中文看邏輯會看的更清楚，我們先舉個中文的例子：xx是個---人，相反她是一個內(nèi)向的人。從后面的內(nèi)向可以推出前面應(yīng)該是個外向之類的詞。所以我們要關(guān)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

問題： 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

假如repudiates我們不認(rèn)識，當(dāng)然一定會有同學(xué)說不用假如，我就是不認(rèn)識。不認(rèn)識剛好，我們可以從后面的小詞 instead 這個詞判定兒子和媽媽的價值觀念是相反的，由此信息看四個選項，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)只有A選項帶有否定的意味.

2） 利用并列關(guān)系去判定：

并列關(guān)系詞如下： and not only ..but also as…as and both … and either… or neither… nor. For example: She embarked on her career by working as a newspaper reporter in Wisconsin and soon began writing novels.

問題: The phrase “embarked on” in this sentence is closest in meaning to 
　　A) took a trip to B) started out on C) improved upon D) had a opinion about

我們可以從前后關(guān)系判定,首先我們看到一個詞career職業(yè)生涯—care(關(guān)心)+er(人)—關(guān)心這件事情的人,從事這個職業(yè). 我們在這句中看到關(guān)鍵詞 and 其后出現(xiàn)soon began告訴我們前后方向是一致的，前面也必然和began有關(guān)，所以本題目的正解是B。
