雅思听力：怎么掌握雅思听力中的词汇衔接

词汇衔接是指通过词的重复、同义、反义、上下义( hyponymy)、互补(complementarity)、整体与部分等关系，来使语篇意义连贯。

专家观点：按照语言学家的观点，英语词汇衔接关系可以分为两大 类：复现关系( reiteration)和同现关系(collocation)。因此在雅思听力中抓住词汇衔接是非常重要的。

【1】同现关系出现的信号词句词汇链

同现关系指的是词汇共同出现的倾向性(co-occurrence tendency)。在语篇中，围绕一定的话题，一定的词往往会同时出现，而其他一些词汇就不大可能出现或根本不会出现。这种词的同现关系与语篇范围关系非常密切。例如：

There are five people in my family. They all work in this city. My father is a doctor. My mother is a nurse. My brother is a driver. My sister is a teacher.

在这一语段中有两组词汇同现关系，第一组是people，my family，father，mother，brother，sister;第二组是 work，doctor，nurse，driver，teacher。把这两组词汇串在一起分析，就能非常容易地判断出该语篇的主题是谈论家人的职业。

在语言运用中，人们发现在意义上相互关联的词汇经常同时出现在某一语篇中，这些词语属于同一个词汇套，形成了词汇链(1exical chain)，因而，当人们遇到其中一个(些)词语即信号词句，便会由此联想到词汇套中的另一些词。例如，听到(读)邮局这个信号词时，人们通常会联 想到寄信、汇款、挂号信、邮票、包裹等词语。所以，当一个词汇链的词语出现在一个语篇或语段中时，这些词语就能衔接句子，起着连 句成篇的作用。

复现指的是某一词以原词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词、概括词或其他形式重复出现在语篇中，语篇的句子通过这种复现关系达到了相互衔接。

注意下面雅思听力测试的某一语段中的黑体词：
