新GRE词汇中更多考察单词的用法和精确含义,所以新GRE词汇是基础更是重点。下面为大家分享的是GRE词汇形近义近归纳法。
形近义近归纳法
由于在高端词汇当中,有很多词的形状是差不多的,这个称之为形近,又有很多单词意思是差不多的,这个称之为义近。在背诵时就可以把这些单词总结在一起背,以防混淆。
比如有这么两个词,discreet和discrete,它们形状长得非常相似,但意义却有很大的差别。前面这个词的意思是“谨慎小心的”,后面这个词意思“是离散的,不连续的”。背这种形近词的时候一般可以两步走,第一步是找两个形近词的差异,第二步是通过差异来联想。比方说这两个词的差异非常明显,就在于一个词的结尾是eet,而另一个词的结尾是ete,找出差异之后就可以通过差异来联想了。由于后面这个词discrete的结尾是ete,两个e不连接在一起,所以这个词的意思是离散的,不连续的。而前面这个词discreet的结尾是eet,两个e连在一起了,所以这个词的意思是谨慎小心的。
再比如还有两个词,一个是ingenious,意思是“聪明的”,还有一个词是ingenuous,意思是“天真的”。这两个词的形状也很象,同样我们可以先找差异,差异在于前面这个词 的中间是,后面这个词的中间是u,我们可以把i想象成I,I就是自己,而u可以想象成you,也就是你。而联合两个词的词义,我们每个人都喜欢说自己是聪明的,而说别人是天真的,这样这两个词也就相应记忆住了。
义近则是指意思相近的词,可以放在一起背诵。比如说下面这些词都是批评谴责的意思:
