托福阅读当中的单词是很多考生最头疼的部分。因此,本次百利天下小编就为大家讲解一下关于托福阅读词汇的相关知识,希望可以帮助考生在考试中取得高分!
一,先来看平时常见但是用法大家不一定熟悉的词汇:
subject: 本词印象最深的意思是“课题,主题”,然而在阅读当中它被用作动词也是很常见的,表示“使服从,使经受”:
例如:It is an inborn duty for a soldier to be subjected to the orders.
译:服从命令是军人的天职。
例如:You'll subject yourself to shame.
译:你将使你自己蒙羞。
justify: 这个词不仅表示“证明合法”,也可表示“使…正当合理”
例如:It may be in a pool too small or too far from a potential market to justify the expense of drilling.
译:它(石油)可能太小或远离潜在的市场因而钻井费用过高而不适宜开采。
此外justify也可以表示“支持”,来看一道tpo真题:
Educators T. Wildman and J. Niles (1987) describe a scheme for developing reflective practice in experienced teachers. This was justified by the view that reflective practice could help teachers to feel more intellectually involved in their role and work in teaching and enable them to cope with the paucity of scientific fact and the uncertainty of knowledge in the discipline of teaching.
1. The word “justified” in the passage is closest in meaning to (1)
○supported
○shaped
○stimulated
○suggested
这里根据文中语境,正确选项为A项
二,针对托福当中科普文章较多这一情况,熟记词缀让你再也不用担心遇到科技类的单词了。
例如:词缀hydro-:水
hydropower: 水能 dehydrate:de-有去除的意思,所以此词意为脱水
hydroponics:水培(一种栽培方法,无须土壤)
例如:词缀thermo-;thermal:热,热能
geothermal: 地热的 thermometer:温度计 thermo bottle:暖瓶
三,还有一些我们熟悉但是不会活用的词汇。如,动物词汇:
rat(老鼠): 背叛,告发
例如:They were accused of encouraging children to rat on their parents.
译:他们被指控唆使儿童告发自己的父母。
duck(鸭子): 躲避
例如:Others are looking for ways to duck the ban.
译:其他人在寻找躲避禁令的办法。
ape(猿):模仿
例如: We can't ape the Japanese system.
译:我们不能模仿日本的体系。
以上就是百利天下小编要和大家分享的关于托福阅读词汇的相关知识,希望考生在平时多注意积累托福阅读词汇,在考试中取得理想的成绩。
