2016年職稱英語考試理工類詞匯記憶六大技巧

字號:

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?!靶iL”。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.(2004年職稱英語衛(wèi)生類c級)
    a. started
    b. finished
    c. changed
    d. made
    答案:b
    例題2:michael is now merely a good friend.(2004年職稱英語衛(wèi)生類c級)
    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. (2003年職稱英語衛(wèi)生類c級)
    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)
    a. mental
    b. physical
    c. natural
    d. hard
    答案:b
    man-, manu- =hand
    manage(管理), manual(體力的,手冊), manuscript(手寫稿), manufacture(生產), 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. (2003年職稱英語衛(wèi)生類c級)
    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
    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

    we had an early breakfast. (形容詞)
    we went by a fast train. (形容詞)
    we had breakfast early. (副詞)
    don’t speak so fast.(副詞)
    (2)有些形容詞變?yōu)楦痹~, 可在字尾加ly, 也可以不加, 不過在字義上不同。
