托福词汇题高分技巧 1. 通过直接反义词来判断 托福阅读中有很多直接反义词，这些词的前或后出现的 内容会是很明显的反义关系。大家如果不理解的话可以先看 一个中文例子：小王是个____的人，相反她是一个内向的人。 从后面的内向可以推出前面应该是个外向之类的词。所以我 们要关注的就是类似例子中“相反”这样的直接反义词，英 文里比较常见的有： rather than, instead, unlike, contrast, on the contrary 等等。 实例： The main conflict in the novel is between a mother who places a high value on hard work and honor and a son who repudiates his mother’s values instead preferring the easier path to fortune and celebrity 问题： the word repudiates in the passage in closest in meaning to __ A. refuses to accept B. lives up to C. tries to understand D. makes the best of 假如 repudiates 这个词大家不认识，那么完全可以从 后面的小词 instead 这个词判定儿子和妈妈的价值观念是相 反的，根据这一判断再看四个选项，你会发现只有 A 选项带 1 有否定的意味，这道词汇题就轻松做出来了。 2. 通过并列关系去判定 托福阅读中表示并列关系的常用词汇有： and, not only...but also, as…as, both, either...or..., neither...nor...等等。 实例：She embarked on her career by working as a newspaper reporter in Wisconsin and soon began writing novels. 问题: The phrase embarked on in this sentence is closest in meaning to A. took a trip to B. started out on C. improved upon D. had a opinion about 我们可以从前后关系判定,首先我们看到一个词 career 职业生涯。我们在这句中看到关健词 and 其后出现 soon began 告诉我们前后方向是一致的，前面也必然和 began 有关，所以本题目的正确答案是 B。 3. 通过解释词汇来判断 所谓解释词汇，也就是后面的句子或短语词汇来解释前 面的词，常见的标志词有: contribute to, be responsible for, account for, since, therefore, because, in which 实 例 ：His big break came with the novel So big(1924) ,which was awarded the Pulitzer in literature. 问题： the word break in this sentence could best 2 be replaced by ___ A. rupture B. revelation C. opportunity D. rest which was awarde
