词汇是构成人类语言大厦的建筑材料, 是语言三要素中最重要的、最基本的要素,自然成为各类英语考查的一个重点。到目前为止,我们已经学了好多单词,那么这些单词究竟在考试中如何现身呢? 其考查的方式主要有如下几种:单词拼写、词形转换、词语释义、词组英汉互译、单词填空等,本文将分别作以介绍。
一、单词拼写
此类词的考查,要求同学们根据句意、语法知识及结构,分析要用什么形式。其解题步骤为: 首先,要认真阅读全句,正确理解句意,虽然题中有可能已给出应填词的汉意,但英语与汉语并不是永远能一一对等的,因此正确理解全句有利于准确判断应填的单词。 第二,要分析应填词充当的句子成分,正确判断应填词的词性。 第三,要判断所填词应采用的正确词形。若为名词,应注意其单复数、可数还是不可数及其所有格形式;若为动词,应注意人称、数、时态、语态及非谓语动词形式;若为修饰语,应注意修饰名词或代词时用形容词,而修饰动词、形容词、副词或全句时要用副词;若为代词,注意代词的各种形式;若为形容词、副词,应注意等级变化。类题以两种形式出现。
