雅思同義詞這在雅思聽力中經(jīng)常會遇到,經(jīng)常會設(shè)置題目和陷阱,雅思同義詞在閱讀考試中也同樣常見,如果說詞匯是雅思考試的基礎(chǔ),那么雅思同義詞就是其中非常重要的一個部分。下面就是小編整理的雅思閱讀考試同義詞替換實例總結(jié)。
一、詞的轉(zhuǎn)換
1. 相同詞性的同義替換:
相同詞性的同義替換一般指的是只涉及單個單詞的轉(zhuǎn)換。單個單詞的轉(zhuǎn)換包括詞性轉(zhuǎn)換及同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換。其中詞性轉(zhuǎn)換是相對簡單的一種,詞匯量可觀的考生自然可以游刃有余,輕松應對;即便不認識被轉(zhuǎn)換了的單詞的考生,也可以通過詞根詞綴以及上下文進行猜測。
例如:
Example 1:
One of the brain’smost difficult tasks is to
A. react to their ownthoughts
B. helped createlanguage in humans
C. respond instantlyto whatever is happening
題干中的核心信息most difficult應該在讀題的過程中被考生捕捉到,在定位時應充分考慮到被代換的可能性;另外備考時訓練充分有素的考生還會考慮到句子結(jié)構(gòu)的整體順序的不同。這樣,當定位到原文的對應信息句:
Making a rapidemotional assessment of the events of the moment is an extremely demanding jobfor the brain, animal or human.
考生應該能夠敏銳地發(fā)現(xiàn)extremelydemanding是most difficult的代換,由此確定該句所表達的意思是正確答案,在list中搜尋正確的選項時,句子中的內(nèi)容被再一次代換,其中原文中 rapidemotional assessment of the events被代換為respond instantly towhatever is happening, 至此,答案為C。
Example 2:
It has been suggestedthat children hold mistaken views about the 'pure' science that they study atschool. 根據(jù)'pure'定位到文中第二段第一行Manystudies have shown that children harbour misconceptions about 'pure' science,curriculum science. 短短一句話我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)有三組四處同義替換,分別為suggested-shown;hold-harbour; mistaken views-misconceptions; science that they study atschool-curriculum science. 因此答案為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是關(guān)鍵詞,由句中出現(xiàn)的survivalmechanism可判斷為是從生物角度來談?wù)摰?,又因為原文的F段首句:One’sfirst inclination might be to argue that there are must be some sort of built inanimal aggression instinct that … 中提到了相關(guān)內(nèi)容,所以定位到該段。迅速掃描,搜尋和兩個關(guān)鍵詞對應的信息,除了在該段第六行出現(xiàn)了原詞重現(xiàn)的survival, 還在上一行出現(xiàn)了advantageous, 顯然是positive的代換。由于原文跟題目中的信息吻合,所以答案是TRUE。
2. 不同詞性的同義替換:
不同詞性同義代換顧名思義,就是在代換時不受詞性的限制,比如:obvious換成clearly; similar換成resemble等。
Example 1:
Despite substantialfunding, results (of this program) have been disappointing.
代換為:This program failedalthough they received sufficient funding.
因為把disappointing換成了failed, “although”代換了“inspite of”, 通過詞的代換就會很自然的實現(xiàn)英文中提倡的句式多樣性。
二、詞組的轉(zhuǎn)換
詞組的轉(zhuǎn)換一般情況下是同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換的一個衍生。當一個詞無法用另一個同義詞到位地解釋時,可能會出現(xiàn)用詞組解釋的情況。另外如果本身就是詞組的形式,那么通常來講還是會用詞組的形式進行解釋。
例如:
Example 1:
原文:Computers are gainingin popularity, despite their cost.
題目:Computers are morepopular than they used to be.
原文當中的gaining in popularity題目中用morepopular than they used to be作為替換。兩者在意思上屬于完全一致的同義轉(zhuǎn)換,因此答案為TRUE。
Example 2:
原文:Biologically, aspecies becomes extinct when its last individual dies.
題目:In biological terms,a species is said to be extinct when only one individual exists.
原文當中的biologically用題目的inbiological terms作為替換。Become則由issaid to be作為替換。但是原文當中的die在題目中變成了exist, 直接相反的意思。介于最后這一處的轉(zhuǎn)換與原文信息不符,可以判斷出此題答案是FALSE。
Example 3:
There were severalreasons for the research into plastics in the nineteenth century, among themthe great advances that had been made in the field of _____and the search foralternatives to natural resources like ivory.
解析:根據(jù)nineteenth century定位到文中第二段......Theimpetus behind the development of these early plastics was generated by anumber of factors- immense technological progress in the domain ofchemistry,.......其中,in the field of意思等同于inthe domain of“在....領(lǐng)域”,因此答案為chemistry。
In recent years, manyof them have been obliged to give up their _____ lifestyle, but they continueto depend mainly on _____ for their food and clothes.
解析:根據(jù)上下文定位到文中Overthe past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic ways and settled in theterritory's 18 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature toprovide food and clothing. 因為大多數(shù)同學都認識abandon, 更知道giveup是“放棄”的意思,屬于單詞與詞組的替換,因此第一個空填nomadic,lifestyle“生活方式”與ways替換,dependmainly on與rely heavily on屬于詞組與詞組的替換,意為“依賴......”,答案為nature。
綜上所述,同義詞替換在雅思閱讀中的重要作用顯而易見。提醒廣大考生在平時一定要注意多積累,比如在背單詞的時候,就不能只滿足于記住單詞本身,還應該多想想這個單詞有什么同義、近義詞,以及詞組的代換,這樣在雅思閱讀中就能取得好的成績。
以上就是小編整理的雅思閱讀考試同義詞替換實例總結(jié),希望同學們在雅思考試中要注意同義詞替換的問題,這個也是每次雅思考試中都會考到的一個點,雅思同義詞更多的是在于平時的積累和記憶,臨時抱佛腳只會把自己的詞匯記憶搞得更混亂。
