怎么样?你挑战成功了几个
以上这些词汇大多是偏正式的词汇,口语中几乎很少能用到,但这些较为生僻的词汇,出现在雅思阅读中的频率会更高,所以对于这些难词,大家还是尽量去熟悉和掌握,避免考试中因为不懂词义而失分。
背单词是学习英语的基础,单词牢固,基本就算是成功了一半。到底如何快速而高效的掌握雅思词汇呢?下面,小编为大家总结了一些实用的技巧。
如何高效掌握雅思词汇?
听力部分
听力单词远比阅读考纲词汇要简单得多,大部分中国学生的问题不在于单词不认识,而是听不出来,或者无法快速拼写出来。对此,建议大家着重于逐个单词的听力训练,可以采用边听边写的方法,锻炼快速反应和准确听写的能力。
口语部分
口语词汇可以采用“专项单词+词组归纳记忆”的方法,比如用雅思话题来归类,或者进行关联记忆的分类。口语讲究连贯性,大家在学习时,可以多注重词组以及同义词的积累,并且要保证准确发音。
阅读部分
阅读词汇主要重点记忆词汇的英文形态、发音和汉语意思,如何拼写等并不作为重点记忆的内容。同时,阅读词汇因为涉及到难词或者生僻词,所以可能需要大家长时间地花时间去反复记忆。
写作部分
写作词汇最重要的当然就是记住拼写了,和口语一样,写作也是要连词成句,因此对词组的记忆也至关重要。此外,写作讲究多样表达,大家日常还要多注意同义词替换的积累。
此外,关于如果在阅读中碰到生词的问题,小编这里也有一些tips👇
考场上遇到生词怎么办?
如果你在雅思阅读考场上遇到生词,不要慌!!第二步可以试着用以下方法解决:
⭕ 直接忽略法
若生词不影响对句子或段落核心意思的理解,可暂时跳过。
例如,题目与原文中出现的生词若不涉及关键信息(如人名、时间、核心概念等),可直接通过其他关键词定位答案。比如剑8-T1-P2中,即使不认识“rudimentary”,也能通过“ATC”和“Grand Canyon”定位并判断答案。
⭕ 模糊概念法
将不认识的单词用模糊的代词或动词替换,如专业名词用“什么”、人名用“有个人”、动词用“整”、形容词用“什么的”、副词用“怎么地”等。
例如“children harbour misconceptions”可理解为“儿童对……整了点误解”,不影响对句子核心意思的把握。
⭕ 上下文推测法
根据定义猜测:若生词后有“this is”“mean”“define”等词,通常会紧随其后给出定义。
如剑16-T1-P1中对“osteoporosis”的解释,可通过上下文了解其大致含义。
根据进一步说明猜测:生词后若出现“or”“similarly”“in other words”等词,可结合后续内容推测词义。
根据逻辑关系猜测:通过句子中的转折(but、however)、因果(because、therefore)等逻辑词,推测生词的含义。
⭕ 词根词缀法
许多学术词汇由词根和词缀构成。
例如,“mitigation”可拆分为“miti(减轻)+-ation(名词后缀)”,推测为“缓解措施”;“postgraduate”可理解为“post(后)+graduate(毕业)”,即“研究生”。
⭕ 结构阅读法
分析句子的主干(主语+谓语+宾语/表语),忽略修饰成分(如定语、状语、插入语等),抓住核心信息。
例如“The innovative approach, which was developed by a team of renowned scientists, has significantly improved the efficiency of the process”中,即使不认识“innovative”和“renowned”,也能通过主干理解“这个方法提高了效率”。
不难发现,雅思阅读考查的是信息捕捉和逻辑理解能力,而非单纯词汇量。所以大家在考场上遇到生词真的不用太慌,偶尔不认识词并不影响整体得分,想出解决办法才是正解!
