已经开始进行出国考试培训好几年了,在具体的教学过程中,经常会听到学生问:阅读如何快速答题?如何快速提分?阅读考试中有没有捷径?
我们此时一方面我会特别的踌躇,为学生的时间紧迫而深感不安。另外一方面也担心自己提供的方法对于学生是否有效。但是在经历多年的阅读教学之后发现,快速答题的不二法则是对同义替换词非常敏感。
我们来看一些例子。
题目1:
The universal ability to use language
universal: 普遍的,普通的,通用的,全世界的
universal ability: 每个人都有的能力
文章1:
The most extraordinary thing about language, however, is that one doesn’t have to be a genius to set its wheels in motion. The language machine allows just about everybody — from pre-modern foragers in the subtropical savannah, to post-modern philosophers in the suburban sprawl — to tie these meaningless sounds together into an infinite variety of subtle senses, and all apparently without the slightest exertion.
从这段文字中,我们可以看出,他说对语言最重要的就是人们不需要是一个天才。在第二句话中,他又说这个语言机器允许每一个人把声音和意义联系起来。看到这里everybody,我们就可以感觉到universal 和 everybody同意替换。如果对同意替换敏感的话,就能够快速的做出这道题。
同意替换:
universal 和everybody
题目2:
Why language is the most important invention of all
most important显然就是比其它的都重要
文章2:
Compared to language, all other inventions pale in significance, since everything we have ever achieved depends on language and originates from it. Without language, we could never have embarked on our ascent to unparalleled power over all other animals, and even over nature itself.
pale:苍白,无力
Compared to language, all other inventions pale in significance:与语言相比,所有其它发明重要性上面都显得苍白无力。
Important和 significance
Why 和since
Other invention pale in significance 和 language is most important
如果能够提升对于同意替换的敏感度,那么这个
下面列举一些在托福雅思中都会大量同意替换的词:
access 和 have opportunity to do
ignore和not pay any attention
change和modify
contribute to和 since
resemble和like
当然这种例子很多,大家在刷题的过程中可以去不断的总结和梳理,对大家做题速度的提升会有很大的帮助。
