词语同现是指在意义上相关联的词汇有可能共同出现在同一语篇中,构成以某一话题为中心的词汇链,也有人称之为语义场。如:
若是一篇以学校生活为话题的文章,像teacher, student, classmate, monitor, book, classroom, dormitory, canteen, lab, desk, teaching building等意义与school life相关联的词语就有可能同时出现在这篇文章中。
完形微技能——词语同现
除了这种“语义相关联”词语可能同时出现外,还有“反义关联”的词也有可能同时出现在一个语篇中。如一篇以学习方法为主题的文章,作者谈到“男生”应如何学习,接下来就有可能谈到“女生”应如何学习。又如在谈到某人几点“离开”了教室,就有可能会谈到他什么时候“回到”教室。此外,还有“修饰相关联”的或“搭配相关联”的词也有可能同时出现,如population可能与large或small同现,但一般不会与many, few同现。
词语同现是解答完形填空的重要策略。在解答完形填空时,要注意在上下文中寻找这些相关联的词,并理清好它们之间的关系,才能快速锁定答案。 请利用词语同现策略解答以下题目: 1. Though I had a lot of working experience and

hard
