六级词汇应试策略
Wilson Hu
概述：词汇要求，CET6中词汇有30道，共15分。30％是四级词汇，70％是六级词汇。六级要求掌握5500个单词，还要求考生具有通过构词法识别生词的能力。六级考试的相应部分从98年1月份之后已全部改成词汇题了（语法被放到了完形填空中考查），词汇的考核要求被强调突出了.其实掌握六级词汇的关键是掌握四级核心词汇的用法和六级增加的1300个词汇的拼写和用法。词汇试题考查的重点是抽象名词，活跃动词的用法，搭配及其构成的短语，形容词和副词等．六级词汇的考查一般是通过词汇题和阅读理解题进行的。动词的复习要求全面仔细。动词词组，动词与形、副、名词的搭配，动词的时态变化等各方面都要顾及。复习中做这类题时，最好选择有充分、详实的讲解的书，方便对知识点的理解、记忆.
英语六级词汇学习技巧
树立坚定的自信心。
制定切实可行的学习目标。
选好复习资料一本5-6级的词汇书，高质量的中英文双解词典，细微差别进行辨析。推荐牛津双解词典、朗文英汉双解活用词典。
应避免题海战术。要立足于真题。集中突破，从整体上把握考试的思路。借助真题高效地复习。考生不仅要熟悉大纲内的词，还要掌握大纲要求的构词法，应该注意“一词多义”和“熟词僻义”。
突破背词瓶颈:
做到口到、心到、手到。要把整个身心投入到学习中去，做到常读、常说、常分析、常回忆、常写、常画，这样，一定会牢牢地记住所学的每一个单词。
在运用中学习。
充分利用业余时间。把重点词抄在小本上，随身携带，随读随记。
重视考题规律六级考试的词汇部分具有可预测性。举一反三，在理解干扰选项的基础上，联想相关的词汇含义（同义词、近义词、同根易混词、形近音似词等），因为这些通常是或很可能是下次词汇题的考点或干扰选项。
10. 把握词汇题型, 六级的词汇考题可以大致分为四大类：难词辨析，近义词辨析，形近音似词辨析及固定搭配。在平时备考的时候要多注意词汇的辨析，“存同求异”，把近义词归到一起，借助英文释义明确其各自的确切含义和使用范围，提高词汇的辨析能力。形近音似词是指那些“长”得像，发音相同、相近的词，考查考生辨别易混淆词的能力。仔细审题，看清选项是做好这类题目的关键。平时在学习中，同学们也应该有意识地把“长”得像的词放在一起辨析。
11. 解题策略: 抓住句子的逻辑语义关系。在六级词汇考题中主要包括五种逻辑语义关系：因果关系、对照让步、时间条件、重述释义以及常识相关。两个反义词; 在非近义词辨析的考题中，两个同义选项。遇有陌生选项的时候.
三. 考点分析
词汇考查的重点是词义辨析，主要是对动词、形容词和名词等实词意义的辨析,当然也考副词、介词。通过分析2000年1月的全真试题，我们发现有12题是动词词义辨析，11题是考形容词词义辨析，6题是考名词词义辨析。可见动词仍是考查的重点。具体的说是考多义词、同义词、近义词、近形词。英语中不少单词是多义词。有的学生只知道某个单词的某种
意义，却不知道它的其他意义和在特定上下文中的引申意义；同义、近义词概念虽相同、相近，但含义和用法上仍存在差别；近形词，形似义异，具有迷惑性，选择时要注意区分各词之间的细微不同之处，要从使用场合、搭配结构和语义关系上分析，最后做出判断。如：The doctor doesn’t ______ that he will live much longer.
A. manifest
B. articulate
C. anticipate
D. monitor
The old gentleman was a very _______ looking person, with gray hair and gold spectacle.
A. respective
B. respectable
C. respectful
D. respected
His _______ was telling him that something was wrong.
A. sentiment inspiration C. hypothesis D. intuition
注重对使用频率较高的词的用法的考查（包括一些四级词汇），而且是反复考(有时作为key, 有时作为选项出现)。这是一种较好的倾向。我们考查单词的目的不应只是看学生是否背过某些生僻词，更主要是以考试为激励，鼓励他们增强使用语言的能力。
4) Since the couple could not ______ their differences, they decided to get a divorce. (9501)
A. reconcile
B. comply
C. coincide
D. resign
5) Parents take a great interest in the ______ questions raised by their children.(9806)
A. nasty
B. naive
C. obscure
D. offensive
Since the two countries couldn’t ______ their differences, they decided to stop the negotiation. (9906)
A. rectify
B. oblige
C. reconcile
D. obscure
Frankly speaking, your article is very good except for some _______ mistakes in grammar. (9906) A. obscure B. glaring C. trivial D. rare
Very few people understood his lecture, the subject of which was very _____. (2000.1) (
A. dim
B. obscure
C. conspicuous
D. intelligible
词语习惯搭配或固定搭配，包括名词与介词的搭配、名词与形容词的搭配、动词与名词的搭配等等。这些搭配纷繁复杂，千变万化是产生词汇错误的主要原因，因此，考生平时多读多看，增强语感，逐步积累，牢牢记住。如：
9) The goal is to make higher education available to everyone who is willing and capable ______ his financial situation. (9901)
A. with respect to
B. in accord with
C. regardless of
D. in terms of
10) An obvious change of attitude at the top towards women’s status in society will ______ through the current law system in Japan. (9901)
A. permeate
B. probe
C. violate
D. grope
四. 应试策略（Strategies）
1．根据词的固定搭配选择答案
如前所述，英语中有许多约定俗成的固定搭配，试题设计者把其他部分给出，但是其中有的项未给出，让参考者从四个选择项中选出最佳选择项，填入使句子的意义完整。如：
11) He was running ____ the pace he had learnt from the natives.
A. on
B. at
C. by
D. in
句中的pace “步幅，步速”常与介词at搭配，组成短语at the pace, “以……步速，步幅。”其他表示“速度、频率、比率”的词有speed, rate, ratio 一般也常与at连用。因此该题的答案是B。
get across 被了解，讲清楚
get along 前进，进展，过活
get away 走开，离开，逃脱
get down 从……下来
get down to 开始，着手
get into 对…发生兴趣，卷入（使进入）
get over 克服
get through 干完
2．通过区别同义或近义词选择答案
这类题近几年来占的比例比较大，也比较难。选择时要注意区分词与词之间的本质差别，同时要注意在本题上下文中的关系，最后做出选择。如：
12) The ______ runner can run 2 miles in fifteen minutes. （9706）
A. common
B. usual
C. average
D. general
3. 引伸法(一定要注意记住词语的本意)
escalator 自动扶梯逐步升级
heart a heart of gold 道德高尚的人
to break one’s heart 使某人伤心
heart and hand 热心地
heart and soul 全心全意地
heart to heart 贴心地，坦率地
learn sth. by heart 记住，背下
to lose heart 丧失勇气
balance天平平衡
mouthpiece——口状物喉舌，代言人
coat——外套涂层
beast——兽凶残的人
pig——猪贪吃懒做的人
jewel——宝石受珍视的人
4. 借助上下文（这一点在阅读理解中尤为重要）
根据生词前后出现的其他词语的意思或整个句子的意思猜测词义。如：
He is successful as a businessman because of his dynamic personality. He seems to have unlimited energy.
利用信号词is, is called, means, that is, i.e., or, defined as, refer to等对某一词汇的定义、解释或说明猜测词义。如：
The word biotechnology refers to a combination of biology and technology.
利用信号词in contrast, on the other hand, rather than, however, yet, although, while, unlike, but, whereas, as opposed to等判断反义词的意思。如：
My sister Marie is an optimist, while her boyfriend is one who is always gloomy（沮丧的，消沉的）and expects the worst to happen.
根据举例猜测词义。如：
Condiments e.g. pepper, salt, and mustard（芥末，芥菜）, make food taste better.
根据标点符号猜测词义。如：
The principal money he put in his savings account to earn interest was safe even though the bank was closed by the police.
根据定语从句猜测词义。如：
The type of meter is called multimeter, which is used to measure electricity.
根据同位语猜测词义。如：
The invention of snorkel, a long air tube that reaches up to the surface, has made it possible for submarine to use their diesel engine even when they are submerged（在水中的，淹没的）.
根据上下文的逻辑关系猜测词义。如：
You should cut out this paragraph in order to make the essay succinct.
根据常识猜测词义。如：
Fish breathe with gill.
五. 题型分类及特点
六级考试的词汇考点主要涉及上下文词义题、近义干扰题、近形干扰题、近义近形干扰题和句型题。
1. 上下文词义题
e.g. 1. There was once an ____ idea that the earth was flat and motionless.
intrinsic B. absurd C. eternal D. offensive
e.g..2. Although he has had no formal education，he is one of the ____ businessmen in the company.
A. shrewdest
B. sternest
C. nastiest
D. alertest
2. 近义干扰题
e.g.3. As you have seen，the value of a nation's currency is a ____ of its economy.
A. reaction
B. reflection
C. response
D. revelation
e.g.4. If the world is to remain peaceful the utmost effort must be made by nations to limit local ____.
A. collisions
B. combats
C. contradictions
D. conflicts
e.g.5. This is the ____ piano on which the composer created some of his greatest works.
A. true
B. original
C. real
D. genuine
3. 近形干扰题真正意义上的近形干扰题中的四个选项看似相似，但意义差别较大，该类试题在六级考试中为数不多.
e.g.6. The vast majority of people in any given culture will ____ to the established standards of that culture.
A. confine
B. conform
C. confront
D. confirm
考生只要能理解题干的句意，并注意四个选项的拼写及构词上的不同，就能比较有把握地确定正确答案。
e.g.7. If you want this pain killer，you'll have to ask the doctor for a ____.
A. receipt
B. recipe
C. subscription
D. prescription
e.g8. Bill is an example of a severely disabled person who has become ____ at many survival skills.
A.proficient
B.persistent
C.consistent
D.sufficient
4、近义近形干扰题由于许多近形干扰题的选项是同根词，它们在词义上必然有所联系，当这些词义相近到彼此容易产生混淆时，近形干扰题就成了近义近形双重干扰的试题了。这类试题在六级考试中数量相对较少，但考生要注意平时词汇学习中对近义同根的辨析，掌握它们语义上的不同侧重及用法搭配上的细微差别。
e.g.9. The naturalists are very keen to ____ the rare species of wildlife such as pandas and tigers that are in danger of becoming extinct.
preserve B. conserve C. observe D. reserve
e.g.10. Although not an economist himself，Dr.Smith has long been a severe critic of the government's ____ policies.
economical B. economy C. economic D. economics
5、句型搭配题
除上述词形、词义四类题型外，六级考试的词汇题在命题范围上还涉及一类与词汇用法搭配相关的试题，这类题在词汇题中所占比重并不少，主要包括动词的句型用法，动词、名词和形容词与介词的搭配等内容。
e.g.11. When he realized he had been ____ to sign the contract by intrigue，he threatened to start legal proceedings to cancel the agreement.
elicited B. excited C. deduced D. induced
e.g.12. The changing image of the family on television provides ____ into changing attitudes toward the family in society.

C. revelations
D. specifications
e.g.13. A budget of five dollars a day is totally ____ for a trip round Europe.
A. inadequate
B. incapable
C. incompatible
D. invalid
四．六级考试词汇题从词性角度看主要涉及动词、名词、形容词和少量副词、短语介词
和连接词。词汇题的应试应从词的词性及其搭配入手，在较长的题干中找到决定正确答案的线索和依据即每道题的答题切入点，从而提高命中率，缩短答题时间。

A. in quest of
B. by means of
C. in terms of
D. by virtue of
六. 如何扩大词汇量
1）构词法
2）复合词
3）类别词的扩大
4) 同义、近义、近形词汇的对比记忆
下面以名词为例
构词法
六级词汇中名词的构词特点体现在以下几个方面：
纵观（大纲）中的六级词汇，不难发现有相当比例的名词是从四级词汇派生而来的。
1.加后缀
有相当一部分六级名词是在四级词汇后加-tion,-ment, -ity, -ance等后缀表示性质状态，行为等从而构成六级词汇。
(1) 加-tion
四级词汇六级词汇
tempt temptation 诱惑，诱惑物
reveal revelation 显示，揭露
transact transaction 处理，交易
vegetable vegetation 植被，植物
propose proposition 主张，建议，命题
irrigate irrigation 灌溉，冲洗
justify justification 认为有理，辩护

engage engagement 约会，定婚
base basement 地下室，墙角
harass harassment 折磨
unemployed unemployment 失业
复合词
把两个或两个以上独立的词结合在一起构成一新词叫复合词。六级词汇中有很多是由两个使用频率很高的四级词汇构成的复合词，其中六级的复合名词也很多。复合词在书写时的特点
是：有的直接连写，有的用连字符号连接。如：
nickname 绰号，昵称
offspring 子孙，后代
safeguard 保护，安全措施
woodpecker 啄木鸟
drawback 退税，欠缺
streamline 流线型
beforehand 预先
breakdown 崩溃，衰弱
breakthrough 突破
commonwealth 国民整体，联邦

database 数据库，资料库
fellowship 交情，奖学金
forerunner 先驱者
handbook 手册
manuscript 手稿，原稿
telecommunication 电讯，长途通讯
Thanksgiving 感恩，感恩祈祷
trademark 商标
turnover 翻覆
(三) 类别词汇的扩大
在英语词汇中，有些词表示“类概念”，另一些词表示“种概念”。在六级词汇中，类别词汇的量有所增加。将这些类别词分类，通过联想、比较，可以进行快速记忆和扩大词汇量。如：
君权类: tyranny 暴政，残暴sovereign 统治者，君主privilege 特权，优惠monarch 君主monopoly 垄断，独占tyrant 暴君，专制君主

tulip 郁金香lily 百合花
四）同义、近义、近形词汇的对比记忆
英语的同义、近义、近形词十分丰富，六级词汇中这方面的词汇也有一定比例的增加。这些词之间在含义和用法上的差异十分复杂和细致。如果孤立地看，某一个词很难做到准确的理解。但通过对比、分析、理解它们之间的异同，就能够对它们产生深刻的印象，进而达到熟练掌握的目的。在六级名词中这种现象很普遍。如：litter, rubbish, garbage, pollutant 这四个词都有“垃圾”的意思，但通过具体的句子我们才能够理解、辨析它们的差异。
另外，还有一些近形异义词、反义词，将它们放在一起对比，有助于加深记忆。
总之，词汇是语言的基础，学习英语必须重视英语词汇的学习。要学好词汇，不能满足于记住多少词汇和短语，更重要的是要掌握它们的用法，这是取得好成绩的基础。这就好像造房子，打好牢固的地基最重要，地基打得不牢固，造好的房子也会坍塌。希望考生能摆正基础和应试技巧的位置，不本末倒置，不单纯追求应试技巧，平日不断积累词汇、词组，经常复习、巩固已学的语法基础知识，兼顾应试技巧的训练，勤学苦练，持之以恒，就一定能取得丰硕的成果。
