SAT考试的特点,要求词汇量大,但是对词汇掌握的深度教低,完全可以通过短期的强化记忆突破词汇1万,轻松应对SAT考试,尤其是词汇部分的考试。周玉亮-SAT词汇记忆口诀“改变记忆单位 赋予你的理解 构建词语联系”;也就是通过词根词缀、谐音记忆、联想记忆、分拆组合等方法将一个单词分解开。轻松突破词汇难关、从容应对SAT考试。请看以下SAT高频词汇: fallacious adj. 错误的,谬误的 首先看该词中含有我们熟悉的单词fall, fall的基本意思:掉下来,摔跟斗;人生难免摔跟斗,犯错误;所以英文中含有fall有错误的意思,大家可以联系下相关词汇false, fault, faulty; 其实fallacious 来自名词fallacy (错误,谬误),fallacy 可以理解为fall+acy, -acy 一般是表示名词的后缀。顺带扩充下fallible(容易犯错的)infallible(永不犯错的)。大家知道美语里面fall还有秋天的意思,为什么呢?秋天果实成熟了,就要fall(掉下来)了. consensus n. 共识 这个词一看三部分 con-, -sens-,-us. 大家知道英文中co系列的前缀指的是together 一起的意思,包括co-, con-, com-, cor-等形式。Sense 本身也是一个单词,表示‘感觉’等意思。-us做后缀一般表示名词,如status(地位)。所以整个词consensus表示大家都感觉是一致的,共识。英文中-sens- 和 –sent- 作为词根都表示“sense”。更多单词如:sensible, sensitive, consent(同意),resent(反感),sentiment(情感), sentimental(多愁善感的), presentiment(预感) 等。 discordant adj 不和的 不调和的 同样该词由三部分构成;dis-表示否定;-cord-作为词根表示“心”,-ant-一般是形容词或名词结尾。大家可以联想下core(核心),concord(协和),accord(一致),dicord (不和),其实英语中-card-也可表示“心”; electrocardiogram大家能猜到意思吗?心电图。 embellish vt 美化,装饰 em-前缀,表示外面outsite, 英文中ex-相关的前缀很多,表示outside, 或者说当我们看到e开头的单词基本都包含这个意思。中间这个-bell-联系一下belle (美丽,美女) 到处能看到百丽的广告“因为百丽,所以美丽”。百丽的英文标志为belle. –ish 很好理解,作为后缀表示动词、名词、形容词都有可能。如finish, establish, diminish等等。 更多例词,下次分享。 总之,当我们拿到一个生词的时候,一定要看看其中有没有哪些部分是我们已知的,要善于从部分推导出整个单词的意思。当然,熟悉一定量的词根是必要的,下一讲,我们将一起探讨SAT高频词汇里面最重要的几十个词根。 附件:SAT 高频词汇 abridge abstemious abstract abstruse accessible acclaim acknowledge adulation adversary adversity advocate aesthetic affable affirmation alleviate aloof altruistic ambiguous ambivalence analogous anarchist anecdote animosity antagonism antidote antiquated apathy appease apprehension arbitrary archaic arrogance articulate artifact artisan ascendancy ascetic aspire astute attribute (V) augment austere authoritarian autonomous aversion belie benevolent bolster braggart brevity cajole calculated candor capricious censorious censure coercion commemorate compile complacency compliance composure comprehensive concede conciliatory concise concur condone conflagration confound consensus constraint contend contentious contract (V) conviction cordial corroborate credulity criterion cryptic cursory curtail decorum deference degradation delineate denounce deplore depravity deprecate deride derivative despondent detached deterrent detrimental devious devise diffuse digression diligence diminution discerning disclose discordant discount (V) discrepancy discriminating disdain disinclination dismiss disparage disparity disperse disputatious disseminate dissent divergent doctrine document (V) dogmatic dubious duplicity eclectic egotism elated eloquence elusive embellish emulate endorse enhance enigma enmity ephemeral equivocal erroneous erudite esoteric eulogy euphemism exacerbate exalt execute exemplary exemplify exhaustive exhilarating exonerate expedient expedite explicit exploit (V) extol extraneous extricate exuberance facilitate fallacious fanaticism fastidious feasible fervor flagrant frivolous frugality furtive garrulous glutton gratify gratuitous gravity gregarious guile gullible hamper (V) hardy haughtiness hedonist heresy hierarchy homogeneous hypocritical hypothetical idiosyncrasy illusory immutable impair impeccable impede implausible implement (V) impudence inadvertent inane incisive incite inclusive incongruous inconsequential incorrigible indict indifferent indiscriminate induce inert ingenious inherent innate innocuous innovation insipid instigate insularity integrity intervene intimidate intrepid inundate invert ironic lament laud lavish (ADJ) lethargic levity linger listless lofty malicious marred materialism methodical meticulous miserly mitigate morose mundane negate nonchalance notoriety novelty nurture obliterate oblivion obscure (V) obstinate ominous opaque opportunist optimist opulence orator ostentatious pacifist partisan peripheral perpetuate pervasive pessimism phenomena philanthropist piety placate ponderous pragmatic preclude precocious predator predecessor presumptuous pretentious prevalent prodigal profane profound profusion proliferation prolific provincial proximity prudent qualified quandary ramble rancor ratify rebuttal recluse recount rectify redundant refute relegate remorse renounce repel reprehensible reprimand reprove repudiate reserve (N) resigned resolution resolve (N) restraint reticence retract reverent rhetorical rigor robust sage sanction (V) satirical saturate scanty scrupulous scrutinize seclusion servile skeptic sluggish somber sporadic squander stagnant static (ADJ) submissive subordinate (ADJ) subside substantiate succinct superficial superfluous surpass surreptitious susceptible sustain sycophant taciturn temper (V) tentative terse thrive tranquillity transient trite turbulence turmoil undermine uniformity unwarranted usurp vacillate venerate verbose vigor vilify vindicate virtuoso volatile whimsical zealot |
