在SAT阅读技巧中,如何应用词汇在文章中挑出答案是非常基础的一个。下面为大家介绍一下如何利用辨析易混词汇来解答题目的SAT阅读技巧,供大家参考和借鉴之用。
考生由于对形似、意近的词辨别不清,不知道他们各自的具体用法,在阅读中影响很大,非常有可能产生含义的误导。
比如:有的词虽然意思相同,但他们表达同一个意思的程度是不同的;有的英语单词的汉语意思相同,但他们所限定修饰的词、使用的范围或者连接的成分是不同的;有的单词的文体风格不同,有正式和非正式之分。
1、Original: Bill Gates gives a definite answer that college education does count.
Revised: Bill Gates gave a definitive answer: college education does count.
Definite意思是明确的、一定的,指意思明确,不会误解;definitive也是明确的意思,但往往指权威性、最后决定的。此话出自比尔盖茨之口,体现权威性,故将definite改为definitive。
2、Original: people may attend a university or college for various reasons...
Revised: people attend university or college for a multitude of reasons...
此处将various改为短语a multitude of更为正式,体现人们读大学的原因很多。
3、Original: The kinds of education that we got on school are formal and intense ones...
Revised: The kinds of education that we receive at school is formal and of tentimes very intense.
不必用kinds of education,直接用education即可;受教育不同get,改为receive;在学校不必用at school;把one去掉,用oftentimes very intense指出学校教育常常是非常严格的。
4、Original: They can foster their interests in some fields to make life more colorful and meaningful.
Revised: They can even pick up hobbies to make life more colorful and enjoyable.
Foster their interests是培养兴趣,此处用pick uphobbies更为合适;不同的兴趣是我们生活的调味剂,使我们的生活多姿多彩,乐趣无穷,把meaningful换成enjoyable,与colorful搭配更合适。
5、Original: Needless to say, more employment means more income andless idle life, so that people can enjoy a better life and makeinvestment in their future.
Revised: Needless to say, more employment means income and less idletime, so that people can enjoy a better life and invest in their ownfutures.
把idle life改为idle time更为合适,表示闲散时间makeinvestment可改为动词invest,与and前的动词enjoy词性一致;人们各自有自己的未来,故将in theirfuture改为in their own futures。
6、Original: Another important factor that contributes to the extension of life expectancy is the development of medical science.
Revised: Another imortant factor that contributes to the rise in life expectancy is the development of medical science.
人的寿命的延长可以表示为life extension,但是如果用life expectancy,则要用the increast of 或the rise in life expectancy。
7、Original: the growth of life span.
Revised: the rise in/increase of life span.
Life span意思是寿命,growth指生长,增长,寿命的延长用growth不合适,life span寿命的延长可以用rise in/increase of/extension of.
8、Original: energy saving
Revised: energy efficiency
Energy saving一般作定语,此处名词短语节能最好用energy efficiency。
9、Original: with the increasing complicatedness of the job profile
Revised: with the increasing complexity of the modern jor profile
Complicatedness意思是错综复杂,但是这种错综复杂是有逻辑的;complexity也是复杂的意思,但这种复杂是杂乱无辜的,现代的工作情况用complexity较为合适。
10、Original: Such experience will difinitely be helpful in childrens later life.
Revised: Such experience will benefit them later in life.
Helpful是提供帮助的意思,而benefit是使受益。这里作者想说的是孩子将来的人生会受益于这样的经历,用benefit合适,因为这样的经历不一定能对孩子将来的人生提供什么具体的帮助。
11、Original: In my submission, people should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing.
Revised: Because of these circumstances, I believe it is inevitable that people must do what they dont enjoy doing.
In ones submission虽然也可以表示某人所持的观点,但是这是一种非常formal的表述,用在这里和整体文章的风格不太相符。
12、 Original: For no one can promise what will happen in the future,if you dont save some money, an emergency will probably make you a caton a hot brick.
Revised: Because no one can predict the future, if you dont save money an unforeseen emergency can be financially crippling.
Promise的意思是承诺、允诺,用在这里不合适,作者要说的是没有人能与之未来发生的事,应该用predit。还有,作者在这里用了一个惯用语a caton a hot brick,这又有一个错误。第一,这个表述本身有错误,正确的应该是like a cat on hotbricks。第二,这个惯用语的意思是忐忑不安,如热锅上的蚂蚁,用在这里意思也不太合适。
通过上面的12个例子,大家一定对SAT阅读词汇的应用情况有了一个大概的了解了,对于易混词汇的辨析,大家还是需要在备考中对词汇进行更加精确的掌握,这样才能在考试中恰当的应用这些阅读技巧。
