學位英語

詞匯選擇是職稱英語中第一個考試項目, 它考察應試者在一定語境下對單詞或短語的理解。從表面上，這是詞匯的考題，實際上這是一種最簡單的閱讀理解題。這里要給大家澄清一個概念，任何一種語言的語義最小單元是句子，而不是詞。但是詞匯或短語的理解對于句子的理解起著重要的作用。

詞匯不足的人在英文聽、說、讀、寫各方面的能力都會受到嚴重限制。一般大多數(shù)人認為背單詞既吃力，又成效不大。實際上，若能采用適當?shù)姆椒ǎ粌H可以縮短擴大詞匯量所需的時間，并且能提高記憶單詞的質量。下面在本課的第一部分向大家推薦六種單詞記憶法，僅供參考。

一、結合記憶法

將比較生疏，不常用的單詞放入一定的語言環(huán)境——句子中，結合句意來記憶單詞。遇到此單詞時，若詞義忘記，則可通過回憶所在句子的意思來記憶單詞。例如：

slope

n. ①傾斜;坡度;斜度

There is always a certain slope in a ship's deck. 船的甲板總有幾分傾斜。

②斜面;斜坡

We climbed the steep slope of the hill. 我們爬了那座陡峭的斜坡。

vi. 傾斜。

The railroad slopes up slightly at this point. 鐵路在此處有輕微的傾斜。

critical

adj. ①批評(性)的，吹毛求疵的

I don't like people who are too critical about everything. 我不喜歡對每件事都太吹毛求疵的人。

②緊要的，關鍵的;危急的

His condition is reported as being very critical. 據(jù)報告他的情況非常危急。

通過此法來掌握詞匯，既有助于記住單詞本身的拼寫、拼讀，又可同時熟悉詞的詞義、詞性、用法和搭配，比孤立地背記單詞效果要好。

二、同類記憶法

將同類詞匯收集在一起，同時背記。注意，同類詞匯與同義詞不同：同義詞是指意思相同，而同類詞是指基本屬性相同、具體意義的層次，級別或范圍不同的一類詞匯。

如headmaster和principal是同義詞，都表示，“中小學校長”;president和chancellor是同義詞，都表示大專院校“校長”。這兩組詞是同類詞匯，都表示“校長”，但具體級別不同，所以兩組詞不是同義詞。

再如bachelor(學士)、master(碩士),doctor (博士)三個詞都表示學位授予的情況，但具體級別不同，所以這三個詞也是一組同類詞匯。

這樣，將同類詞匯放在一起記憶，當遇到其中一個詞時，頭腦中出現(xiàn)的就是一組詞，效率大大提高了。

三、比較記憶法

把同義詞或形似詞放在一起，加以區(qū)別。記憶的過程是一組組，一對對單詞同時記憶。職稱英語中有很大一部分都是對同義詞或近義詞的考察，需要平時進行記憶和積累。

例題1：The researchers have just completed a study of driving situations.

A. started

B. finished

C. changed

D. made

答案：B

例題2：Michael is now merely a good friend.

A. largely

B. possibly

C. just

D. rarely

答案：C

Merely/ only/ just

四、構詞法記憶法

通過掌握構詞法來記憶單詞。英語主要有三種構詞法：

1)轉化，即由一個詞類轉化為另一個詞類。例如：

picture (n)畫-picture (v)描繪

water (n)水-water (v)澆水

例題1： He has trouble understanding that other people judge him by his social skills and conduct.

A. behavior

B. style

C. mode

D. attitude

答案：A

解釋：

Conduct (v.)引導，管理，為人，傳導

Conduct (n.)操守，行為

Conductor (n.)列車員，售票員，指揮者，導體等

Semi-conductor 半導體

例題2：The ice is not thick enough to bear the weight of a tank.(2004年職稱英語衛(wèi)生類C級)

A. suffer

B. accept

C. receive

D. endure

答案：D

解釋：

bear (n.)熊

bear (v.)負擔, 忍受, 帶給, 具有, 擠

2)派生，即通過加前綴或后綴構成另一個詞，例如：

happy→ unhappy(加前綴) happiness(加后綴)

例題1： The workers in that factory manufacture furniture. (2003年職稱英語衛(wèi)生類C級)

A. promote

B. paint

C. polish

D. produce

答案：D

例題2： Even in a highly modernized country, manual work is a still needed. (2003年職稱英語衛(wèi)生類C級)

B. physical

C. natural

D. hard

man-, manu- =hand

manage(管理)， manual(體力的，手冊)， manuscript(手寫稿)， manufacture(生產(chǎn))， manumit(釋放)

例題3：About one million Americans are diagnosed，annually with skin cancer. (2004年職稱英語衛(wèi)生類C級)

A. every year

B. severely

C. actively

D. every month

答案：A

Ann= year

Anniversaire (French)

Anniversary, annals(編年史), annuity(年金)

3)合成，即由兩個或更多的詞合成一個詞。例如：

wood(木) cut(刻)→ woodcut(木刻)

pea(豌豆) nuts(堅果)→ peanut(花生)

例題1： In the latter case the outcome can be serious indeed.

A. judgement

B. result

C. decision

D. event

答案：B

五、根義記憶法

利用根義代替記憶多義，可以解決“沒有生詞”卻老讀不懂的問題。

比如要問immediate(ly)是否已記住，回答當然是肯定的。那么就請看下面三個“沒有生詞”的片段：

a) The woman walks immediately behind the car.

b) She is my immediate neighbor.

c) the immediate cause

若沒有讀懂，那么就請看immediate(ly)根義

中間沒有間隔(地)

1)(時間)立刻;

2)(空間)緊挨，通接，緊跟，

3)(關系)直接

例題1：He will leave immediately.

A. far away

B. right away

C. right here

D. soon

答案：B

例題2：Can you follow the plot?

A. change (www.yingyukaoshi.com0

B. investigate

C. understand

D. write

答案：C

請看下面幾句中的follow 分別都是什么意思?

She went into the building, followed by a group of students.

The teacher says that everybody should follow the rule here.

I'm sorry, but I can't follow you.

六、幾組對容易混淆詞進行特別記憶

(1)有些字可當形容詞又可當副詞,例如： early; past; half; long; straight; fast; hard; quick; deep; slow; pretty; awful; wrong; right; high; late; hourly; early; weekly; etc.

(C) high “高”; highly “很;非?！?
