完成句子的詞匯；完形填空的詞匯。

背單詞的要求：?jiǎn)卧~的形狀和大概意思。

背單詞的方式：詞根詞綴記憶

先將大綱詞表過(guò)濾

一級(jí)過(guò)濾：過(guò)濾掉那些一看到就知道意思的單詞；

二級(jí)過(guò)濾：過(guò)濾掉有隱約印象但不扎實(shí)的單詞；

三級(jí)過(guò)濾：發(fā)現(xiàn)那些你根本不認(rèn)識(shí)的單詞；

兒級(jí)過(guò)濾之后，剩下的詞找一下規(guī)律。

背詞法1:詞根詞綴記憶方式

構(gòu)詞規(guī)律：形容詞前面加un；名詞前面加in；形容詞或名詞前面加

en為動(dòng)詞。

詞綴改變?cè)~性或詞義

例：ablebeabletodosomething

capableof

capability

背詞法2：改換單詞的某個(gè)部分，就可以記一串單詞

例：take

bakeBakers

TaylorTailortailor

BlackSmithblacksmith

cakebirthdaycake

fakefakemoneyfakecommodities

lake

make

nakenaked

sake

sakeforthesakeof

wakewakeup

背詞法3：同音記憶方法，即英語(yǔ)中一些詞發(fā)音相同。

例：cellsellcellphone

deardeergiraffe（長(zhǎng)頸鹿）

Doe,adeer,afemaledeer.

盜版盤(pán)上出現(xiàn)的笑話：Doe,adear,afemaledear.Doe,一個(gè)親

語(yǔ)法

一、句型

1.主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)

2.主系表結(jié)構(gòu)

3.主謂結(jié)構(gòu)

4.主謂賓定狀補(bǔ)結(jié)構(gòu)

（定）主（定）+（狀）謂+（定）賓（定）/（補(bǔ)）/（狀）

例：Heisaboy.

Heisahandsomeboy.

二、動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)

重點(diǎn)：不規(guī)則動(dòng)詞變化

1.動(dòng)詞原形

例：be動(dòng)詞amisare

2.動(dòng)詞過(guò)去式

例：am,iswas

arewere

3.動(dòng)詞過(guò)去分詞

例：am,is,arebeen

4.動(dòng)詞現(xiàn)在分詞

例:：be動(dòng)詞+ing

1、動(dòng)原go

2、過(guò)去went

3、過(guò)分gone

4、現(xiàn)分going

例：go

三、非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞

1.動(dòng)詞不定式

to動(dòng)詞原形

功能：除了謂語(yǔ)，其他成分都能做。

2.現(xiàn)在分詞或過(guò)去分詞

3.動(dòng)名詞

四、復(fù)合句

主句+從句

從句多了引導(dǎo)詞，如that,who,when,why等等

精讀

集中精力做精讀

1.不認(rèn)識(shí)的詞盡可能查，并采用記憶法記住它

2.看懂所有的句子結(jié)構(gòu)

解題步驟

第一步：尋找關(guān)鍵詞，回原文定位，找出題目在原文中的出處

關(guān)鍵詞

1.名詞或名詞性短語(yǔ)

2.形容詞或形容詞性短語(yǔ)

3.副詞或副詞性短語(yǔ)

4.專(zhuān)有名詞：有大寫(xiě)字母構(gòu)成的單詞

5.數(shù)字年代

關(guān)鍵詞的確定依據(jù)

1.出現(xiàn)頻率較低

2.醒目好找

關(guān)鍵詞例外原則

1.標(biāo)題單詞不宜為關(guān)鍵詞

2.出現(xiàn)頻率較高的詞不宜為關(guān)鍵詞

3.動(dòng)詞一般不做關(guān)鍵詞

關(guān)鍵詞優(yōu)先原則

1.短語(yǔ)優(yōu)先于單詞作為關(guān)鍵詞

2.形容詞或副詞的比較級(jí)、最高級(jí)優(yōu)先于原級(jí)作為關(guān)鍵詞

第二步：根據(jù)下列原則和規(guī)律進(jìn)行判斷，確定正確答案

（一）正確選項(xiàng)的特征

1.同義詞

例如，題干中beautiful,原文中為pretty。

2.同義結(jié)構(gòu)

3.題目是根據(jù)原文中的兒句話推斷或歸納而成

（二）錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)的特征

1.題目與原文內(nèi)容直接相反

可能的情況：①反義詞；not,no,never

②反義結(jié)構(gòu)；un-,in-,im-,dis-

③表達(dá)否定、反義的詞匯和詞綴；

2.文中為多個(gè)條件并列，題目中只有一個(gè)條件出現(xiàn)

如題干上出現(xiàn)must,only這樣的詞，原則上都不是正

確答案

3.原文是人們對(duì)某種事物的感覺(jué)，題目則強(qiáng)調(diào)客觀事實(shí)或已

被證明的事

4.原文和題目使用了表示不同范圍、頻率和可能性的詞

例如：原文用many,sometimes,unlikely

題目變?yōu)閍ll,usually,impossible

5.原文中包含條件狀語(yǔ)，題目中去掉條件成分

（三）未提及選項(xiàng)的特征

1.題目中某些內(nèi)容在原文中沒(méi)有提及

2.題目中涉及的范圍小于原文中涉及的范圍

3.題目中有比較級(jí)，原文中沒(méi)有比較

解題技巧

1.三種答案必須都出現(xiàn)；

2.可以連續(xù)三題答案都一樣；

3.謹(jǐn)遵原文內(nèi)容，不能憑借自己的常識(shí)和知識(shí)；

4.題目中出現(xiàn)must,only,all,always等等時(shí)，一定是錯(cuò)誤答案；

5.相信第一感覺(jué)，不要輕易改答案；
