(二)词汇选择题解题技巧【例题中红色为答案】
1.语境法【找上下文线索】
Writers use transitions (过渡涪)to link their ideas logically. There are always clues in the
sentence that will point you to the right answer. Key words and key phrases give context clues
that will help you predict the meaning of the missing word(s). A road sign is a structural key
word that signals the connection between ideas. Road signs indicate the sentence's direction.
Some road signs tell you the sentence is going straight ahead ( 直行)—the next idea follows
from what has come before. Other road signs, detour ( 绕 行 )road signs, indicate that the
sentence is changing direction, with the next idea contrasting with what has come before.

Look for words or phrases that indicate that the omitted portion of the sentence continues a
thought developed elsewhere in the sentence. Examples are and, moreover, in addition, and

correct answer.

3. 反义法【找反义词线索】
Look for words or phrases that indicate a contrast between one idea and another. Examples
are hut, although, nevertheless, despite, however, even though, and on the other hand. In
such cases, an antonym(反义词)or near-antonym for another word in (he sentence should
provide the correct answer.

things they see.
A. indicate B. investigate C. imitate D. innovate
5. 多义法【找一词多义线索】
Watch out for words that have more than one meaning. Before you rule out an answer choice,
consider whether the word has any secondary meanings. For example, the adjective partial
means incomplete, as in "a partial list of contributors." It can also mean biased, as in "too partial
to be fair to both sides," or having a liking for, as in "I am highly partial to chocolate.” So be 3
on the lookout for familiar-looking words defined in unfamiliar ways. To determine the
meaning of an unfamiliar word, either in a sentence or among the answer choices, use what you
know about word parts, the building blocks of our language: prefixes, suffixes, and most
important of all, roots.

together in a way that sounds correct and it also refers to the regular use of some words and
phrases with others, especially in a way which is difficult to guess.
