你必须要知道的雅思阅读“熟词僻义”
2020-08-13 环球教育
雅思阅读在雅思备考中是很重要的一部分。各位烤鸭们有没有在遇到这么个情况:明明已经背过的单词但是放到文中里却怎么也说不通?那是因为你碰到“熟词僻义”了!!接下来让我们跟随环球教育老师的脚步起来学习你不可不知的雅思阅读“熟词僻义”。
在雅思阅读中,考生们常常会遇到些单词,熟悉却又陌生:考生曾经背过它们,但是这些意思放在文中却又说不通。其实,这是雅思的出题者在给考生们埋伏下的“隐形杀手”——熟词僻义!所谓“熟词僻义”,指的是些单词除了熟悉的词义或词性以外,还存在着对于考生来说相对生僻的词义和词性。本文为大家汇总整理了雅思文章中常见的六大“熟词僻义”。
1.term
熟义熟性:n.(任,学)期
僻义熟性:n.措词,术语
原题回忆:
Indigenous Tasmanians used only four terms to indicate numbers of objects.
原文回顾:
The indigenous peoples of Tasmania were only able to count one,two,many.
解析:
此题来自剑桥6 TEST2 PASSAGE3的Numeration文,原题意为:“土著的塔斯玛尼亚人仅用四种术语来表达物品的数字。”其中考查了term的僻义熟性:n.措词,术语。原文回顾:“土著的塔斯玛尼亚人仅会数‘,二,很多’。”题目与原文矛盾,所以此题判断为FALSE.
2.alternative
熟义熟性:a.两者择的
僻义熟性:a.另类的、新的
原题回忆:
Traditionally,how have Australian doctors differed from doctors in many Western countries?
原文回顾:
Australia has been unusual in the Western world in having a very conservative attitude to natural or alternative therapies.
解析:
此题来自剑桥4 TEST2 PASSAGE3的Alternative Medicine in Australia(澳洲的另类医学)文,原题意为:“传统上,澳洲医生如何有别于其他西方的医生?”原文回顾:“澳大利亚有别于西方世界市由于其对另类医学的守态度。”因此原题答案选择C.They have been reluctant to accept alternative therapists.(他们不愿意接受另类医学)
3.tuition
熟义熟性:n.学费
僻义熟性:n.教学、指导、教育
原题回忆:
Children only accept opinions on rainforests that they encounter in their classroom.
原文回顾:
In the face of the frequent and often vivid media coverage,it is likely that children will have formed ideas about rainforests independent of any formal tuition.
解析:
此题来自剑桥4 TEST1 PASSAGE1文,原题意为:“孩子们只接受在课堂上学到的有关雨林的观点。”原文回顾:“在频繁而生动的媒体报道面前,很有可能的是,孩子们会形成对雨林的看法是立于任何正式课堂教学之外的。”题目与原文矛盾,所以此题判断为FALSE.
4.coin
熟义熟性:n.硬币,钱币
僻义僻性:v.造,次提出
原题回忆:
The word'echolocation'was first used by someone working as a..................
原文回顾:
The American zoologist Donald Griffin,who was largely responsible for the discovery of sonar in bats,coined the term'echolocation'to cover both sonar and radar.
解析:此题来自剑桥7 TEST1 PASSAGE1的Let’s Go Bats文,原题意为:“单词‘回声定位’是先由个工作为_____的人使用的。”原文回顾:“发现了蝙蝠身上的声纳系统的美动物学Donald Griffin造了这个术语‘回声定位’,用来包括声纳和雷达。”因此空格答案为zoologist.
5.demanding
熟义熟性:adj.吃力的
僻义熟性:adj.高要求的,苛刻的
原题回忆:
Prior to the suggestopedia class,students are made aware that the language experience will be demanding.
原文回顾:
Beforehand,the students have been carefully prepared for the language learning experience.Through meeting with the staff and satisfied students they develop expectation that learning will be easy and pleasant and that they will successfully learn several hundred words of the foreign language during the class.
解析:此题来自剑桥7 TEST1 PASSAGE3的EDUCATING PSYCHE文,原题意为:“在暗示教学法课程之前,学生们被做好接受高要求的语言学习的思想准备。”原文回顾:“在暗示教学法之前,学生们已经被做好接受语言学习的思想准备。通过与教学员工和满意学员碰面,他们有了种期待,语言学习将会轻松而愉快,他们能够在课堂上成功地掌握几百个外语单词。”因此判断题为FALSE.
6.register
熟义熟性:v.登记,注册
僻义熟性:v.意识到,记住
原题回忆:
The experiment described in paragraph B,
A shows how we make use of smell without realising it.
B demonstrates that family members have a similar smell.
C proves that a sense of smell is learnt.
D compares the sense of smell in males and females.
原文回顾:
Most of the subjects would probably never have given much thought to odour as a cue for identifying family members before being involved in the test,but as the experiment revealed,even when not consciously considered,smells register.
解析:此题来自剑桥8 TEST2 PASSAGE3的The meaning and power of smell文,原题意为:“B段描述的实验表明……”原文回顾:“大部分被测者在参加测之前,很有可能从来都没有意识到气味也能成为辨认庭成员的线索。然而正如实验所揭示的,就算没有这样的意识,气味任然会给人留下印象。”文中的register对应选项A的realising,所以此题答案选A(我们在没有意识到的情况下使用了气味).
总结:上述几个熟词僻义是雅思文章中的典型例子,是出题者惯用的伎俩。但是只要考生细致观察、留心积累,就会发现这些词都被反复出过题,也就是说,只要我们在雅思阅读驾驭好了这些“惯犯”,出题者也就黔驴技穷、无计可施了。
