在GCT考试中,英语阅读理解题目多,时间紧。需要在有限的时间内完成1000单词的阅读量,这其中生词的出现就是不可避免的。在平日的学习中,除了坚持背单词的良好习惯外,还要利用构词法对词根进行记忆,有助于生词大意的猜测。
面对文中的生词,首先,不能让文中注定出现的生词成为影响阅读的心理障碍,生词的出现并不意味着一定会影响对与文章的正确理解。
其次,要在平时的复习中掌握破解生词的技巧。
以下是GCT考试网(www.gct-online.com )为大家总结的五招破解生词技巧,希望对考生备考有所帮助。
1、在阅读中,注意上下文的同义词或者重复线索的暗示。标志此含义的词有:and, also, moreover, further, or, likewise, in addition, besides, similarly, in fact.
For example:The woman found herself in a difficult situation. In fact, her plight was so serious that she decided to get help.
2、在一个句子中,可能包含一个与生词具有相反的意义的单词,通过在句中阅读到“on the other hand”、“however”、“although”、“unlike”、“yet”、“but”、 “on the contrary” “to the opposite” “otherwise” “while”等转折语进行猜测。
For example:My sister is an optimist, while her boyfriend is one who is always gloomy and expects the worst to happen.
3、有时会在句中读到表示例释线索的信号词,对生词进行解释说明。如for example, for instance, such as, to illustrate, in other words, that is to say, the same as。
For example:Mr. Kelada was the most loquacious man I’d ever met. He talked with everyone on the ship, and he always had something to say, no matter what the topic.
4、有时会给出直接解释的线索
For example:The powerful poison was imperceptible when mixed in liquid, that is , it could not be tasted, seen, or smelled.
5、有时剧中会出现熟悉的经验或者情景,这些多为考生的日常积累
For example:It was the first time Nancy had been in the big city. She felt a little apprehensive as she walked out into the street, with so many strange faces staring at her.
