高级职称英语快速记忆法
一、结合记忆法
将比较生疏,不常用的单词放入一定的语言环境——句子中,结合句意来记忆单词。遇到此单词时,若词义忘记,则可通过回忆所在句子的意思来记忆单词。例如:
slope
n.①倾斜;坡度;斜度
There is always a certain slope in a ship‘s deck.船的甲板总有几分倾斜。
②斜面;斜坡
We climbed the steep slope of the hill.我们爬了那座陡峭的斜坡。
vi.倾斜。
The railroad slopes up slightly at this point.铁路在此处有轻微的倾斜。
critical
adj.①批评(性)的,吹毛求疵的
I don’t like people who are too critical about everything.我不喜欢对每件事都太吹毛求疵的人。
②紧要的,关键的;危急的
His condition is reported as being very critical.据报告他的情况非常危急。
通过此法来掌握词汇,既有助于记住单词本身的拼写、拼读,又可同时熟悉词的词义、词性、用法和搭配,比孤立地背记单词效果要好。
二、比较记忆法
把同义词或形似词放在一起,加以区别。职称英语中有很大一部分都是对同义词或近义词的考察,需要平时进行记忆和积累。
