托福阅读词汇题猜词妙招

首先我们要认出词汇题，这个相信不难大家都会判断。托福词汇题考是都是近义词，题目常见的问法如下：the word(or phrase) X is closest in meaning to ……,the word(or phrase) x could be best replaced by，看清题型后寻求解决方法--阅读上下文，找到关系常考的关系如下：

1）直接反义—该词前或后出现的内容提示我们是反义关系

从中文看逻辑会看的更清楚，我们先举个中文的例子：xx是个---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。所以我们要关注的是 rather than, instead, unlike, contrast, on the contrary.

For example: 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我们不认识，当然一定会有同学说不用假如，我就是不认识。不认识刚好，我们可以从后面的小词 instead 这个词判定儿子和妈妈的价值观念是相反的，由此信息看四个选项，你会发现只有A选项带有否定的意味.

2） 利用并列关系去判定：

并列关系词如下： and not only ..but also as…as and both … and either… or neither… nor. For example: 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—care(关心)+er(人)—关心这件事情的人,从事这个职业. 我们在这句中看到关键词 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，所以本题目的正解是B。
