四级核心词汇精讲讲义
一、词汇对四级成绩的 极端 重要性.................................. The importance of vocabulary cannot be too emphasized . “词汇是基石，词汇是基础” “得词汇者得阅读，得阅读者得四六级” 二、四级词汇备考中的 致命 误区： 1、对大纲中词汇量的要求把握不准（方向感与盲目） 2、对词汇书的疯狂无止境背诵 3、不重视词汇的多角度运用 4、词汇考点把握不准 5、对历年词汇考题缺乏足够的重视与把握 三、背单词方法 单词是文章的基础，文章中若有大部份的关键单词不认识，那将大 大阻碍你对文章的理解。 推荐两种常见的背单词的方法(这两种方法需要交互进行，没有前 后顺序)： (1)从市面上任意选取一本单词书，每天计划一定的时间进行强 记。强行记忆生词的过程一直要持续到考试结束。不建议使用以真题里 的句子作为例句的词汇书。 (2)结合文章进行记忆，这点很重要。以往有很多考生反映，单词 都背过了，可是在文章中还是认不出来或者不知道具体的意思，究其原 因主要是只知道背诵词汇书，没有适应在具体的文章阅读中记忆单词。 文章可以选用大学里的英语课本里的文章，也可以是自己做过的真题文 章。在阅读中遇到好的词语、句型要记忆下来，想想该如何造句，如何 应用到作文中去。 四、复习单词的四个层面 <1> 掌握词汇的深刻含义（固定搭配、近形词与近义词辨析、上下文语 义关系）

America, New Zealand and Tonga are among the most company-friendly countries, requiring no penalties or compensation to fire a full-time employee of 20 years. By contrast, a business in Zimbabwe must shell out well over eight years' worth of pay to sack a worker. But companies in Venezuela and Bolivia are even more tied—workers there cannot be fired at all.

Over the past decade, universities around the globe have invested heavily in the wired classroom, adding everything from external laptop connections to Bluray DVD players.

What if classrooms were restored to the pre-Internet days of wooden tables and chalk? 【二】历年真题词汇学习 Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse.
