摘要:
SAT词汇部分的考试对于中国大多数的高中生来说是个大的挑战,部分词汇较为生僻,如何让学生能够正确的掌握这些高难度词汇一直是笔者多年教学当中所探索。词汇记忆本身枯燥无味,本人平时比较热爱欧美电影和美剧,闲暇休息时会将电影及美剧当中出现的和考试相关的词语留心总结,希望能够通过这样一个真实生动的语境来帮助学生记忆单词。
1. TRUCE(出自 The new normal family),原谅你了,男主人公用了truce 这个词,简单而又生动。
真题呈现(2008年10月真题)
A researcher who described a peaceful reunion between normally adversarial chimpanzees as a____ was criticized for inferring human motives.
A truce
B competition
C mischance
D coincidence
E miscalculation
把正常黑猩猩之间的和平重聚描述成为一种停战协定的研究员受到了批判,因为他加入了具有人类行为的的主观猜想。答案选A
2. SUBTLE(出自大热美剧Nikita)
真题呈现(2006年10月真题)
The ambassador argues that, in diplomacy, there is a subtle but important difference between a country's showing a willingness to _________and a too-obvious readiness to make _________.
(A) negotiate concessions
(B) antagonize friends
(C) surrender enemies
(D) dominate inquiries
(E) equivocate denunciations
大使们争论说在外交当中,一个想要去谈判的意愿和一个明显想要去做出让步的的做法是很微妙但又重要不同的。选A,注意subtle在题干当中的理解。
3. Fraud(出自经典美剧绝望的主妇)(OG 第九套题)
真题呈现
Although it stayed in business for several months the company was actually ------- and met its financial obligations only by engaging in ------- activities.
(A) insolvent ….fraudulent
(B) prudent ….speculative
(C) autonomous ….subordinate
(D) bankrupt ….charitable
(E) stable ….manipulative
答案A选项
4.recluse(大热英剧神探夏洛克)
真题重现(2006年5月真题)
As one would expect, the reclusive poet _________ public appearances and invasions of privacy.
(A) rewarded
(B) endorsed
(C) neglected
(D) invited
(E) detested
这道题的关键在于准确理解reclusive的意思,reclusive意为隐居,一位隐居士对于公共露面和对个人隐私权的侵犯是持厌恶的态度的,所以此题答案选择E选项。
5.Docile(出自大热美剧美国恐怖故事)
真题重现(2006年5月真题)
In the classroom, Carol was unusually_________; on the playground, however, she became as intractable as the other children.
(A) optimistic
(B) mercurial
(C) magnanimous
(D) taciturn
(E) docile
此题的解题关键在于注意题干当中的however一词,所以句子前后取逻辑语义相反,句子后面出现intractable一词为不受管教的,放任的,所以此题答案选intractable的反义词,docile.
