根據(jù)題干中確定的信息,尋找其和選項(xiàng)未知詞匯的關(guān)系,進(jìn)而根據(jù)具體的語(yǔ)言環(huán)境,確定答案,題干中的信息和選項(xiàng)的常見(jiàn)關(guān)系有:
1.并列或者解釋關(guān)系,例如:
41. As a _______actor, he can perform, sing, dance and play several kinds of musical instruments.
A) flexible B) versatile C) sophisticated D) productive

A) enforces B) confirms C) intensifies D) strengthens
50. I think she hurt my feelings _________ rather than by accident as she claimed.

4. 搭配關(guān)系,包括介詞搭配和動(dòng)賓搭配等,介詞搭配又分為動(dòng)詞緊跟介詞和動(dòng)詞遙控介詞兩種,例如:
63. The morning news says a school bus ________ with a train at the junction and a group of policemen were sent there immediately.
A) bumped B) collided C) crashed D) struck
動(dòng)詞遙控介詞,例如:

A) excluded B) disabled C) deprived D) gripped
動(dòng)賓搭配例如:
46. On weekends my grandma usually _______ a glass of wine.
A) subscribes to B) engages in C) hangs on D) indulges in
除此之外,中學(xué)所學(xué)過(guò)的詞匯,除個(gè)別熟詞僻義外,如果在選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn),對(duì)的可能性很小。例如:
62. This is the ______ piano on which the composer created some of his greatest works.
A) true B) original C) real D) genuine
AC選項(xiàng)都不對(duì)。
考察詞匯的重復(fù)率很高
根據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì),2006年1月 6個(gè)題的正確選項(xiàng)詞匯在1997年1月到2005年6月的留級(jí)詞匯考試中沒(méi)有考過(guò),僅占總題量的20%;32個(gè)選項(xiàng)此沒(méi)有考過(guò),占總選項(xiàng)詞匯的26%。2006年6月六級(jí)考試中,詞匯題的重復(fù)考察的詞匯比例也高達(dá)80%。如果再加上最近幾年在閱讀中出現(xiàn)過(guò)的詞匯和短語(yǔ),再則重復(fù)考察的比例接近90%。
