在高考作文阅卷过程中，老师会对一些“高级”词汇尤为偏爱。但就是，大多数同学根本不具备单词升级意识，一想到“好”，就就是“good”;一想到“坏”，就就是“bad”;一想到“美丽”就就是“beautiful”。当老师一天批阅上千份“内容相同、语言低龄”得作文时，她得痛苦感受可想而知。 因此，您一定要避免这些“低能词汇”，让自己得词汇升级、升级再升级! 那么，什么样得单词最能够吸引阅卷老师得好感? 【原则一：晚词优先】 老师偏爱“学得晚”得单词，因为使用学得比较晚得单词，可以体现一个人“学以致用”得意识。如果一个意思既可以用初中单词来表达，又可以用高二、高三单词来表达，那尽量选择高二、高三得单词，如： (1)Adj、困难得 黯然低分词：difficult 闪光高分词：challenging 有挑战性得 (2)Adj、重要得 黯然低分词：important 闪光高分词：vital 至关重要得;essential 必不可少得;significant 有重要意义得;
(3)Adj、美丽得 黯然低分词：beautiful 闪光高分词：appealing动人得;attractive 吸引人得;charming迷人得;fascinating 迷人得 注：以上五个词既能修饰人，又能修饰物，非常好用，务必记熟! 【原则二：短语优先】 在阅卷老师瞧来，活用短语就是一个考生能力得体现。因此，我们可以掌握一些将某些常见单词转化为短语得用法，如： (4)v、参加 黯然低分词：join 闪光高分词：take part in (5)v、使用 黯然低分词：use 闪光高分词：make good use of (6)v、拜访 黯然低分词：visit
