六級(jí)考試詞匯題從詞性角度看主要涉及動(dòng)詞、名詞、形容詞和少量副詞、短語(yǔ)介詞和連接詞。詞匯題的應(yīng)試應(yīng)從詞的詞性及其搭配入手,在較長(zhǎng)的題干中找到?jīng)Q定正確答案的線索和依據(jù),從而提高命中率,縮短答題時(shí)間。
動(dòng)詞題
對(duì)于選擇項(xiàng)為動(dòng)詞的詞匯題,我們主要應(yīng)從以下幾個(gè)角度確定答題的切入點(diǎn):
1. 如果動(dòng)詞為不及物動(dòng)詞或被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),尋找句中該動(dòng)詞的主語(yǔ),根據(jù)主謂的意義搭配關(guān)系確定答案。
2. 如果動(dòng)詞為主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的及物動(dòng)詞,則主要應(yīng)尋找句中該動(dòng)詞的賓語(yǔ),根據(jù)動(dòng)賓的語(yǔ)義搭配關(guān)系,一般也能非常有效地確定正確答案。
3. 對(duì)于通過(guò)“主-謂”,“動(dòng)-賓”關(guān)系的判斷尚無(wú)法確定答案的,如是及物動(dòng)詞,可同時(shí)根據(jù)其主語(yǔ)及賓語(yǔ)的特點(diǎn)來(lái)進(jìn)行判斷。
4. 如是不及物動(dòng)詞,則可同時(shí)根據(jù)其主語(yǔ)及狀語(yǔ)修飾語(yǔ)來(lái)進(jìn)行判斷。
5. 除了動(dòng)詞與主、賓及狀語(yǔ)的搭配之外,六級(jí)考題中還有相當(dāng)一部分動(dòng)詞詞匯題可通過(guò)空檔后與動(dòng)詞搭配的介詞來(lái)確定。
6. 還有一類動(dòng)詞題,如考生對(duì)某些動(dòng)詞的句型搭配(Verb Pattern)比較熟悉的話,則也可以非常容易地根據(jù)其常用句型搭配來(lái)選取答案。
例1.Mike just discovered that his passport had_____three months ago.
A. abolished B. expired C. ended D. constrained
本題根據(jù)選擇項(xiàng)動(dòng)詞的主語(yǔ)passport(護(hù)照),可立即確定答案為B(過(guò)期)。
2.Although there are occasional outbreaks of gunfire, we can report that the rebellion has in the main been_____.
A. canceled B. destroyed C. suppressed D. restrained
本題找到了主語(yǔ)“the rebellion”(起義、*),即可知答案為C(被鎮(zhèn)壓)。
3.Since the two countries couldn’t_____their differences,they decided to stop their negotiations.
A. rectify B. oblige C. reconcile D. obscure
本例中,由賓語(yǔ)their differences(分歧),即可知答案為 C. reconcile (調(diào)和、調(diào)解)。
4.When people are asked what kind of housing they need or want, the question_____a variety of answers.
A. defies B. magnifies C. mediates D. evokes
本題中,僅根據(jù)賓語(yǔ)a variety of answers或主語(yǔ)the question,則無(wú)法確定該選哪個(gè)動(dòng)詞,但三者結(jié)合起來(lái)考慮,答案 D. evokes 便顯而易見(jiàn)。
5.On turning the corner, we saw the road_____steeply.
A. departing B. depressing C. decreasing D. descending
例中,由主語(yǔ)road,再加上后續(xù)副詞steeply即可明確答案為 D. descending.
6.All individuals are required to_____to the laws made by their governments.
A. obey B. conform C. comply D. observe
本題中雖然四個(gè)選擇項(xiàng)均有“服從、遵守”之意,但根據(jù)后續(xù)介詞to,即可找到答案為B。
7.His argument does not suggest that mankind can_____to be wasteful in the utilization of these resources.
A. resort B. grant C. afford D. entitle
題中四個(gè)動(dòng)詞的常用句型分別是:resort to (doing) sth.; grant(同意給予)sb. sth.或grant(承認(rèn)) sb. that 從句;afford (to do) sth.和entitle sb.to (do) sth.由此可知答案必然為C。
8.He would it that his son took a livelier interest in politics.
A. see into B. see through C. see about D. see to
根據(jù)題干空缺后的it that…,考生立刻就能想到有關(guān)動(dòng)詞see 有see (to it) that這一句型搭配,故答案為D。
名詞題
對(duì)于選擇項(xiàng)為名詞的詞匯題,我們同樣可從其與句中其它成分的搭配關(guān)系入手,迅速確定答案。只是對(duì)于名詞來(lái)說(shuō),它主要有與前面動(dòng)詞的搭配即動(dòng)賓關(guān)系,與后面動(dòng)詞的搭配即主謂關(guān)系、與前后作定語(yǔ)的修飾成分的搭配及與后續(xù)修飾短語(yǔ)的搭配等。
1. 根據(jù)前面的動(dòng)詞來(lái)確定需選的名詞。
2. 如果選擇項(xiàng)的名詞在句中處于主語(yǔ)的位置,則可根據(jù)后面的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞來(lái)判斷正確答案。
3. 如果空檔處的名詞前有定語(yǔ)修飾,則常可僅根據(jù)該修飾搭配關(guān)系確定正確答案。
4. 有時(shí),也可根據(jù)所選名詞的后續(xù)修飾搭配關(guān)系來(lái)確定正確答案,這類后續(xù)修飾成分包括一般的介詞短語(yǔ)或定語(yǔ)從句等。
5. 有時(shí),后續(xù)的介詞是與名詞的固定搭配。這時(shí)確定哪個(gè)是正確答案就更為容易。
6. 還有的時(shí)候,名詞的后續(xù)修飾成份是某些名詞特有的動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)或同位語(yǔ)從句。
7. 有些名詞題涉及與該名詞有關(guān)的成語(yǔ),是某一固定成語(yǔ)的一部分,考生只要熟悉該成語(yǔ),選取答案非常簡(jiǎn)單。
例1.I think that I committed a_____in asking her because she seemed very upset by my question.
A. blunder B. revenge C. reproach D. scandal
