六级词汇考试应试要点:如何应对各类词型考题

2007-10-19来源:
  六级考试词汇题从词性角度看主要涉及动词、名词、形容词和少量副词、短语介词和连接词。词汇题的应试应从词的词性及其搭配入手,在较长的题干中找到决定正确答案的线索和依据,从而提高命中率,缩短答题时间。
  动词题
  对于选择项为动词的词汇题,我们主要应从以下几个角度确定答题的切入点:
  1. 如果动词为不及物动词或被动语态,寻找句中该动词的主语,根据主谓的意义搭配关系确定答案。
  2. 如果动词为主动语态的及物动词,则主要应寻找句中该动词的宾语,根据动宾的语义搭配关系,一般也能非常有效地确定正确答案。
  3. 对于通过“主-谓”,“动-宾”关系的判断尚无法确定答案的,如是及物动词,可同时根据其主语及宾语的特点来进行判断。
  4. 如是不及物动词,则可同时根据其主语及状语修饰语来进行判断。
  5. 除了动词与主、宾及状语的搭配之外,六级考题中还有相当一部分动词词汇题可通过空档后与动词搭配的介词来确定。
  6. 还有一类动词题,如考生对某些动词的句型搭配(Verb Pattern)比较熟悉的话,则也可以非常容易地根据其常用句型搭配来选取答案。
  例1.Mike just discovered that his passport had_____three months ago.
  A. abolished B. expired C. ended D. constrained
  本题根据选择项动词的主语passport(护照),可立即确定答案为B(过期)。
  2.Although there are occasional outbreaks of gunfire, we can report that the rebellion has in the main been_____.
  A. canceled B. destroyed C. suppressed D. restrained
  本题找到了主语“the rebellion”(起义、暴动),即可知答案为C(被镇压)。
  3.Since the two countries couldn’t_____their differences,they decided to stop their negotiations.
  A. rectify B. oblige C. reconcile D. obscure
  本例中,由宾语their differences(分歧),即可知答案为 C. reconcile (调和、调解)。
  4.When people are asked what kind of housing they need or want, the question_____a variety of answers.
  A. defies B. magnifies C. mediates D. evokes
  本题中,仅根据宾语a variety of answers或主语the question,则无法确定该选哪个动词,但三者结合起来考虑,答案 D. evokes 便显而易见。
  5.On turning the corner, we saw the road_____steeply.
  A. departing B. depressing C. decreasing D. descending
  例中,由主语road,再加上后续副词steeply即可明确答案为 D. descending.
  6.All individuals are required to_____to the laws made by their governments.
  A. obey B. conform C. comply D. observe
  本题中虽然四个选择项均有“服从、遵守”之意,但根据后续介词to,即可找到答案为B。
  7.His argument does not suggest that mankind can_____to be wasteful in the utilization of these resources.
  A. resort B. grant C. afford D. entitle
  题中四个动词的常用句型分别是:resort to (doing) sth.; grant(同意给予)sb. sth.或grant(承认) sb. that 从句;afford (to do) sth.和entitle sb.to (do) sth.由此可知答案必然为C。
  8.He would it that his son took a livelier interest in politics.
  A. see into B. see through C. see about D. see to
  根据题干空缺后的it that…,考生立刻就能想到有关动词see 有see (to it) that这一句型搭配,故答案为D。
