其实我觉得这种题目很难讲出太多名堂来,词汇题是托福阅读中少见的考察面比较单一的题目,很大程度上托福考试中能对熟练掌握(注意是熟练)高考考纲词汇并且稍有拓展的同学们造成障碍的题目就是阅读词汇题了,在准备托福的时候,唯有这一部分让我后悔过没有好好背单词。

360教育集团(www.mianfeiwendang.com)指出鉴于阅读词汇题都比较直白简单,没什么太多套路,我就简单地把它随便分成两类,姑且叫做“友好词汇题”与“不友好词汇题”。

友好词汇题,顾名思义,出题者比较友好,并不是故意刁难你(实际上即使不友好词汇题也不见得是出题人在刁难你),即使对于高亮的单词的含义不确定甚至干脆不认识,也可以依靠上下文的信息作出关于该单词释义、内涵或者感情色彩的判断,从而得出正确的选项。在下面的例子中,我们都假设自己不认识高亮单词 (即使读者已经认识了,也可以这样体会一下思路,当然,如果词汇量足够大,托福核心词汇完全熟悉的话,这里介绍的方法也没有太多必要了),看看仅从原句或者上下文的内容中可以得出什么样的信息。 比如TPO中的这样一道题:

Joy and sadness are experienced by people in all cultures around the world, but how can we tell when other people are happy or despondent? It turns out that the expression of many emotions may be universal. Smiling is apparently a universal sign of friendliness and approval. Baring the teeth in a hostile way, as noted by Charles Darwin in the nineteenth century, may be a universal sign of anger. As the originator of the theory of evolution, Darwin believed that the universal recognition of facial expressions would have survival value. For example, facial expressions could signal the approach of enemies (or friends) in the absence of language.

1. The word despondent in the passage is closest in meaning to

○Curious

○Unhappy

○Thoughtful

○Uncertain

Despondent是这里主要考察的词汇,而原文中直接将它与happy做了一个并列,即使并不能直接得出它一定与happy相反的结论,但也可以知道二者是互斥的关系,这时候看一下四个选项,显然1、3、4都跟happy没有直接关系,只有2合适,而且代入原句之后让我们觉得这句义通顺得简直令人发指,即使在这里无法确认,逗号前面的半句话其实给了我们更多的线索,这里的happy or despondent分明就是与joy and sadness一一对应,despondent对应的就是sadness的名词的意思,同样可以得出选项2. 再来看这样一道题:

Supporting evidence comes from research showing that aggressive people often distort other people‘s motives. For example, they assume that other people mean them harm when they do not.

10. The word distort in the passage is closest in meaning to

○Mistrust

○Misinterpret

○Criticize

○Resent
