题型特征
词汇题有一个明显的特征:题干中明确指出原文中的一个单词、短语或句子,要求考生从给出的选项中选出能够诠释其意思的一项。通常情况下,要求解释的单词、短语或句子在原文中会用下划线标出,并且题干中通常会有括号说明其所在的段落及行数。词汇题的命题模式通常包括以下几种。
①The phrase/word/sentence “...” (in line ...) most probably means …
②By “...”, the writer (probably) means …
③What does the author probably mean by “...” in paragraph ...?
④The phrase/word/sentence suggests …
⑤From the passage, we can infer that the word “...” is …
⑥According to the passage, what is “...” ?
⑦When the author says that ..., he means …
题型类别
从考查形式上看,词汇题可以分为四类:①对大纲内常见词汇的生僻含义的考查;②对超纲词汇含义的考查;③对代词所指代内容的考查;④句子理解题。下面我们就针对词汇题的这四类形式,分别分析其相应的解题思路和做题方法。
1.大纲词汇
考生根据题型特征判断出某道题为词汇题后,首先要判断题干中所考查的单词、短语是否为大纲词汇。如果是大纲词汇,那么该题目考查的通常不是其常用意思或字面意思。一起来看下面这道真题。
真题演练1
When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn’t cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she’d like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “I’m a good economic indicator,” she says. “I provide a service that people can do without when they’re concerned about saving some dollars.” So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard’s department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don’t know if other clients are going to abandon me, too”, she says. (2004年考研英语阅读理解真题Text 3第一段)
51.By “Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet” (Line 1, Paragraph 1), the author means ________.
A.Spero can hardly maintain her business B.Spero is too much engaged in her work
C.Spero has grown out of her bad habit D.Spero is not in a desperate situation
解析:这道题表面上是考查句子的意思,实则考查短语biting her nails的含义。这一短语中的单词都是考生熟悉的大纲词汇,但对于整个短语的含义,考生未必熟悉。笔者建议考生结合上下文,采用排除法来解题。下面我们来一一分析选项。由于选项C是对isn’t biting her nails这一短语的字面解释,可直接排除。接下来,考生可利用第一句话和第二句话之间存在的转折关系来解题。首先来看选项A。如果选项A为正确答案,则第一句话想表达的意思为:“由于经济发展放缓,Ellen Spero的生意难以为继。”这一层意思无法与第二句话中所表达的意思(Ellen Spero的客户正在减少)构成转折关系,由此排除A项。同理,B选项所表达的意思(Ellen Spero的工作更加忙碌)也无法与第二句话构成转折关系,可迅速排除。由此得出正确答案为选项D。
对于词汇题中考查的大纲词汇来说,如果考生无法通过上下文的逻辑关系来解题,那么也可以通过一些微观的阅读技巧(如标点符号)来判断词义。解题时常用到的特殊标点符号有以下三种:
①冒号。冒号前后是从抽象到具体的关系,读懂冒号后面的具体内容就能明白冒号前的单词或短语的意思。
②破折号。破折号有解释说明的作用,破折号后面的内容通常用来解释其前面的内容。
③分号。分号前后表示并列关系,包括结构的并列和语义的并列。因此,只要两句话用分号隔开,那么这两句话表达的意思应该是一致的,由此考生可以根据一个分句的意思判断另一个分句中所考查的词汇的意思。
真题演练2
For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept—what you think you want to do—then broaden it. “None of these programs do that,” says another expert. “There’s no career counseling implicit in all of this.” Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. “I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me,” says the author of a job-searching guide. (2004年考研英语阅读理解真题Text 1第三段)
43.The expression “tip service” (Line 4, Paragraph 3) most probably means ________.
A.advisory B.compensation
C.interactionD.reminder
解析:根据题干括号里的信息提示,考生可以将答案信息定位至原文第三段第四句话:“Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again.”这句话中包含两个分句,中间用分号连接,由此可以判断两个分句为并列关系,它们想表达的意思是一致的。考生可以看出,第一个分句中的“to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database”与第二个分句中的“to check the database again”的意思是对应的,那么,很显然,第一个分句中的tip service与第二个分句中的reminder是对应的,故本题的正确答案为选项D。
真题演练3
We live in a society in which the medical and social use of substances (drugs) is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves. When do these socially acceptable and apparently constructive uses of a substance become misuses? First of all, most substances taken in excess will produce negative effects such as poisoning or intense perceptual distortions. Repeated use of a substance can also lead to physical addiction or substance dependence. Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance, with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect, and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued. (1997年考研英语阅读理解真题Text 3第二段)
60.The word “pervasive” (Line 1, Paragraph 2) might mean ________.
A.widespread B.overwhelming C.piercing D.fashionable
解析:根据题干括号里的信息提示,考生可将答案信息定位至原文第二段第一句话。在这句话中,本题要考查的pervasive一词后出现了冒号,因此考生可以通过理解冒号后的内容来推断pervasive的意思。冒号后的内容为“an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves”,作者通过列举这些物质来表明它们已被用于日常生活中的方方面面。由此考生不难看出,pervasive在这里是想表达“分布广泛的,普遍的”之意。因此选项A为正确答案。
2.超纲词汇
考研英语阅读理解中通常会有2%~3%的超纲词汇。在早些年的考研英语阅读理解中,对于一些超纲且专业性较强的词汇,命题者会给出中文解释,例如1991年考研英语阅读理解Passage 1中的chlorophyll (叶绿素)和carbohydrates (碳水化合物);1992年Passage 2中的inertia (惯性)和Passage 3中的hockey (曲棍球);1993年Passage 1中的babbling (咿呀学语)、Passage 2中的bureaucratic (官僚主义的)和Passage 3中的monopoly (垄断)等。但是后来,命题者取消了这种为超纲词汇加注的形式,目的就在于鼓励考生去猜测词汇的含义。考生应该明白的一点是,不管所考的超纲词汇有多专业或多生僻,它一般都不会影响考生对全文的理解,考生通常能够根据构词法或者上下文推测出这一词汇的含义。
真题演练1
In spite of “endless talk of difference”, American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is “the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse ...” (2006年考研英语阅读理解真题Text 3第一段)
21. The word “homogenizing” (Paragraph 1) most probably means ________.
A.identifying B.associating C.assimilating D.monopolizing
解析:有些考生一看到homogenizing这样的难词便心中恐慌,不知该如何解题。实际上,对于这类超纲词汇,考生可以尝试通过构词法来解题,即通过分析生词的词根、前缀和后缀来推测词义。以homogenizing为例,考生可以将其分成四部分:homo—gene—ize—ing。对于homo-这一前缀,考生应该不陌生,因为homosexual意为“同性恋的”,据此可以推断前缀homo-相当于same,意为“相同的”。而gene一词意为“基因”,由此考生可以推测出homogenizing一词的大致意思为“基因相同的”。通过这一方法,考生可以轻松得出正确答案为选项C。
即使不熟悉构词法,考生依然可以通过分析上下文来解题,这也是最为可靠的方法。在本题中,原文第一句话中的in spite of表明这句话存在转折关系,因此前半句话中的difference与后半句话中的homogenizing应该表达相反的意思,而通过分析四个选项,只有选项C与difference意义相反,因此选项C为正确答案。
真题演练2
What might account for this strange phenomenon?Here are a few guesses: a) certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills. b) winter-born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity which increases soccer stamina. c) soccer mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime at the annual peak of soccer mania. d) none of the above. (2007年考研英语阅读理解真题Text 1第二段)
22. The word “mania” (Line 4, Paragraph 2) most probably means________.
A.funB.crazeC.hysteriaD.excitement
解析:这道题考查的mania一词无法通过构词法来推测其意思,这时我们就只能通过分析上下文来解题了。Mania一词位于第二段的c)句中,这句话的意思为“热爱足球的父母更可能在春季怀孕,这时正值足球 的高峰期”。考生可利用排除法,将四个选项代入空格中,看其意思是否符合上下文的逻辑。通过验证四个选项,考生可以发现,选项A与选项D的意思都不太符合逻辑,因而可将答案锁定在B和C两项。由于选项C为超纲词汇,而通常情况下,命题者不会设置“用超纲词汇解释超纲词汇”的题目,可排除C项。将选项B的意思代入空格处,符合逻辑,因此选项B为正确答案。
3.代词
词汇题中常常考查代词(如it、these、that)在上下文中指代的内容。确定代词指代内容的方法为:回到原文,以代词为分界线向上搜索,找到离代词最近的名词、名词性词组或句子,将其替换至代词所在的句子中,看句意是否符合上下文逻辑,是否通顺;若不符合逻辑,则继续向上搜索验证,直至找到正确答案。
真题演练
The researchers’ argument stems from a simple observation about social influence, with the exception of a few celebrities like Oprah Winfrey—whose outsize presence is primarily a function of media, not interpersonal, influence—even the most influential members of a population simply don’t interact with that many others. Yet it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who, according to the two-step-flow theory, are supposed to drive social epidemics by influencing their friends and colleagues directly. For a social epidemic to occur, however, each person so affected must then influence his or her own acquaintances, who must in turn influence theirs, and so on; and just how many others pay attention to each of these people has little to do with the initial influential. If people in the network just two degrees removed from the initial influential prove resistant, for example, the cascade of change won’t propagate very far or affect many people. (2010年考研英语阅读理解真题Text 3第四段)
34. The underlined phrase “these people” in paragraph 4 refers to the ones who________.
A.stay outside the network of social influenceB .have little contact with the source of influence
C.are influenced and then influence others D.are influenced by the initial influential
解析:这道题考查these people指代的内容。考生应首先回到原文找到该划线词,然后向上搜索。因为these people指代的是人,所以考生可以以该词组为界,向上搜索表示人的名词、名词性词组或句子。通过验证可知,these people指代的是其所在句子的第一个分句中的each person,即“那些被影响并影响别人的人”,由此可知这道题的正确答案为选项C。
4.句子理解
词汇题中的句子理解题要求考生理解整句话的意思,但通常仅依靠句子本身很难判断其含义,因此考生依然要根据上下文的逻辑关系来推测句子意思。
真题演练
Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance. But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.

To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.
People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of “backward” languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflects the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, however, two things are to be noted: 1. All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in “backward” languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. An accidental language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness (“this” and “that”); some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.
This study of language, in turn, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all culture are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.

A.sound patterns
B.vocabularies
C.grammatical structures
D.both A and B
2.The author says that professional linguists recognize that ___.
A.Western languages are superior to Eastern languages
B.All languages came from grunts and groans
C.The hierarchy of languages is difficult to understand
D.There is no hierarchy of languages
3.The article states that grunt-and-groan forms of speech are found ___.
A.nowhere today
B.among the Australian aborigines
C.among Eastern cultures
D.among people speaking “backward” languages
4.According to the author, languages, whether civilized or not, have ___.
A.the potential for expanding vocabulary
B.their own sound patterns
C.an ability to transfer ideas
D.grammatical structures
5.Which of the following is implied but not articulated in the passage?
A.The study of languages has discredited anthropological studies.
B.The study of language has reinforced anthropologists in their view that there is no hierarchy among cultures.
C.The study of language is the same as the study of anthropologists.
D.The study of languages casts a new light upon the claim of anthropologists.
