雅思阅读的同义词的替换。同义词替换以后就增加了难度,可能词性变化了,也可能意思完全相反了。那么具体是怎么替换的呢?
同义词/近义词之间的替换
同义词替换是指考题与原文中的关键内容用同义词进行一种互换。此类替换占据同义替换现象的大部分内容,而且几乎所有的题型都会有这样的替换现象。且大量常见的词都会主要是以名词与动词为主。
Example 3:
Cambridge6,Test4的Q9:Kim Schaefer’s marketing technique may be open to criticism on moral grounds.在原文第三段中定位到”Selling pharmaceuticals is a daily exercise in ethical judgment,”其中ethical即为原文中moral的同义词。
考生只需要在平时增加词汇量时有意识地去注意一些常见同义词,雅思阅读的解答也就变得简单很多了。其实严格意义上来讲,同义词应该还包括一些常用词组或短语之间的一种互换。
Example 4:
Cambridge7,Test4的Q19:Between 1940 and 1959, there was a sharp decrease in Alaska's salmon population.此题为是非判断题。利用between 1940 and 1959定位到原文第4段Between 1940 and 1959, overfishing led to crashes in salmon population so severe that in 1953 Alaska was declared a federal disaster area. 原文中的crashes与题干中的sharp decrease属于近义词(语义相同的词)之间的替换。
Example 5:
Cambridge6,Test1的Q38Q39:In recent years, many of them have been obliged to give up their 38 lifestyle, but they continue to depend mainly on 39 for their food and clothes.定位到原文D段:Over the past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic ways and settled in the territory’s 28 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature to provide food and clothing.题干中提及被迫放弃什么生活方式,因此要求填一个形容词来修饰lifestyle。而时间状语in recent years是定位词。按顺序原则,原文的时间状语over the past 40 years正好跟in recent years对应,abandon与give up,ways和lifestyle对应,答案便是abandon后面的宾语ways的修饰语nomadic。同时判断depend on后面需要填一个名词,即依靠什么东西。而后面的food and clothes是非常好的定位词。很快可以在原文中找到对应depend on的rely on,而后面又有food and clothes。因此可以很清楚地判断出rely on的宾语nature就是答案。
