人们常讲“不懂语法说不好英语,而不识词汇就根本说不了英语”,由此可见词汇的重要性了。对高考(Q吧)而言,英语试卷是“词汇制胜”,这不仅是因为单选、完形等试题都涉及词汇的考查,况且,阅读、写作等又何尝离得开词汇认知、猜词能力和词汇运用呢?词汇是英语备考的重中之重,而词汇又“记无常法,学无定式”,只要能准确、高效地扩大词汇,十八班武艺,样样都可尝试。
考试说明所附高考词汇,每年都在增加,今年又有140多个词汇列入考纲词汇表。词汇的梳理、学习和练习,要常抓不懈,细水长流,这样才能顺利闯过词汇难关。
英语里,动词是组织语言的核心,在所有词类中是最重要的一类。动词和动词词组非常活跃,其词义在不同的语境里富于变化,有时让人有“抓不着,摸不透”的感觉。
