雅思阅读同义词1. 相同词性的同义替换:
相同词性的同义替换一般指的是只涉及单个单词的转换。单个单词的转换包括词性转换及同义词转换。其中词性转换是相对简单的一种,词汇量可观的考生自然可以游刃有余,轻松应对;即便不认识被转换了的单词的考生,也可以通过词根词缀以及上下文进行猜测。
例如:
Example 1:
One of the brainsmost difficult tasks is to
A. react to their ownthoughts
B. helped createlanguage in humans
C. respond instantlyto whatever is happening
题干中的核心信息most difficult应该在读题的过程中被考生捕捉到,在定位时应充分考虑到被代换的可能性;另外备考时训练充分有素的考生还会考虑到句子结构的整体顺序的不同。这样,当定位到原文的对应信息句:
Making a rapidemotional assessment of the events of the moment is an extremely demanding jobfor the brain, animal or human.
考生应该能够敏锐地发现extremelydemanding是most difficult的代换,由此确定该句所表达的意思是正确答案,在list中搜寻正确的选项时,句子中的内容被再一次代换,其中原文中rapidemotional assessment of the events被代换为respond instantly towhatever is happening, 至此,答案为C。
Example 2:
It has been suggestedthat children hold mistaken views about the pure science that they study atschool. 根据pure定位到文中第二段第一行Manystudies have shown that children harbour misconceptions about pure science,curriculum science. 短短一句话我们可以发现有三组四处同义替换,分别为suggested-shown;hold-harbour; mistaken views-misconceptions; science that they study atschool-curriculum science. 因此答案为TRUE。
Example 3:
Some people maybelieve that the teacher- subjects behavior could be explained as a positivesurvival mechanism.
可以看出句中positive和survival是关键词,由句中出现的survivalmechanism可判断为是从生物角度来谈论的,又因为原文的F段首句:Onesfirst inclination might be to argue that there are must be some sort of built inanimal aggression instinct that 中提到了相关内容,所以定位到该段。迅速扫描,搜寻和两个关键词对应的信息,除了在该段第六行出现了原词重现的survival, 还在上一行出现了advantageous, 显然是positive的代换。由于原文跟题目中的信息吻合,所以答案是TRUE。
雅思阅读同义词2. 不同词性的同义替换:
不同词性同义代换顾名思义,就是在代换时不受词性的限制,比如:obvious换成clearly; similar换成resemble等。
Example 1:
Despite substantialfunding, results have been disappointing.
代换为:This program failedalthough they received sufficient funding.
因为把disappointing换成了failed, although代换了inspite of, 通过词的代换就会很自然的实现英文中提倡的句式多样性。
