雅思阅读同义替换词大总结

雅思阅读中同义替换词大总结1.限制：limit, restrict, confine, define, narrow, tighten, constrict, cap,narrow(v.):这个词大家以前使用的时候一般都是作为形容词来用，这里强调下它的动词的用法。

E.g. We are working on narrowing the gap between our points of view. 缩小差距E.g. We’re working to narrow down the list of possible suspects.E.g. The smoking causes the same diseases in women as in men and the gap between their death ratesis narrowing.define (v.):这个词大家以前熟悉的意思是给……下定义, 这个意思和限制并不矛盾，什么叫下定义？就是描述出一个事物的轮廓，所以定义就是在一个给定的围给一个事物限定的特定的意思。

（define的英文解释： If you define something, you show, describe, or state clearly what it is and what its limits are, or what it is like）E.g. The Supreme Court decision could define how far Congress can go in trying to determine the outcomeof court cases.cap (n./v.): 这个词最常用的意思是帽子的意思，作为限制的意思再形象不过了。

E.g. The government has placed a cap on local council spending.snow-capped mountains补充信息：魔兽世界（WOW）的资料片燃烧的远征（TBC）刚刚推出的时候，在官网上就有这么句话：An increase in the level cap to 70 大家不妨体会下这句话中的cap的意思在NBA里面就有工资帽这种说法（工资帽的概念1984年被引入，NBA联盟和球员工会之间首先进行谈判，只有双方同意，工资帽才被正式公布。

每年NBA的工资帽都在增加，1997-98赛季是2690万美元，上赛季是4384万美元，而如今则是4387万美元。

那么什么是工资帽呢？工资帽的具体数额和NBA前一年的总收入密切相关。

具体来说，这个工资帽是根据NBA前一年的总收入，然后取这个总收入的48％作为NBA球队花钱的资本，再拿这个48％后的收入再除以29（NBA上赛季球队总数），得出的平均数就是当年的工资帽，各球队花在球员身上的工资总额不得超过这个数字。

）2.集中，聚焦于：focus on, concentrate on, aim, spotlight, be engrossed in, lay/place/put emphasis on,deal only with, highlight,spotlight(v./n.):本意是聚光灯的意思E.g.

They have access to up-to-date information through a computer database.latest (a.):最新的E.g. the latest fashions from the Paris catwalks.contemporary:现代的，这个词准确的来说和最近的（latest）意思还是有区别的，不果的阅读考试大部分词考得都是词和词之间的相关性，其实也不太有可能两个词的意思是完全一样的，一般来说只要他们意思相关，并且不发生矛盾的话，我们就可以认为他们之间是同义词。

这也就是为什么contemporary会和latest在一组的原因了。
