One of the two misunderstandings of the "outline vocabulary"
1. The words listed in the outline of the English exam are a general category, usually in the ±15% adjustment range. The words you memorize are only a "guarantee" that you won't be able to secure a "good" or "excellent" grade. In reading, you should be able to recognize about 90% of the words.
2. The syllabus vocabulary is for "listening, reading, writing and interpreting", in which the vocabulary of listening, speaking and writing is more focused on "quality" than "quantity", belonging to the "three skills", "quality", "quality", "quality" and "quality". The vocabulary of listening, speaking and writing is more focused on "quality" than "quantity" and belongs to the standard of "three" and "four", while the vocabulary of reading is more emphasized on quantity and belongs to the standard of "two" and "three". The vocabulary of the syllabus is comprehensive and balanced. The vocabulary of the syllabus is the result of a comprehensive and balanced approach, which is very sufficient for "listening", "speaking" and "writing", but still needs to be supplemented for "reading".
Second, the source of the material of the examination reading and the syllabus words overlap about 75%.
The reading material of the four special eight, the examination of English is usually from foreign newspapers and magazines, The Economist, Business Week, Nature, Scientific American, Newsweek, U.S. News and World Report, etc., which are not written according to the scope of the vocabulary of the examination syllabus. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are talking about, and that you have a good understanding of what you are talking about, and that you have a good understanding of what you are talking about.
Additionally, even if the outline vocabulary, just memorize a round is far from enough, the enemy of memorizing words is the "forgetting rate", after a month of words "net income" in 80% has been considered good, two months, three months in turn decreasing. The "forgetting rate" of the nemesis is "repetition", therefore, the second and third round is also necessary.
Three, the examination reading more is to examine the long and difficult sentences, familiar words new meaning and English thinking
Because the reading material from different points of view, different topics and different ways of expression of the author, so familiar with the author's writing ideas, different topics vocabulary is very necessary, and this step is "memorization of words" can not be directly solved, need "memorization of words". The first step in the process is to learn more about the topic, and to learn more about the topic.
The biggest obstacles in reading comprehension are two:
1. Long difficult sentences "difficult" in the syntactic analysis and sentence splitting, some sentences as long as forty to fifty or even sixty or seventy words, which contains many subordinate clauses (or subordinate clauses in subordinate clauses) and structures (participle structure, independent subject, etc.), "vocabulary" on the other hand, took a backseat. In this case, a systematic knowledge of grammar is required, as well as the ability to analyze grammar.
2. New meanings of familiar words. There are many times when we are faced with an awkward situation where we know every word, but just don't know the meaning of the sentence. In addition to analyzing the structure of the sentence, you need to analyze the context to see if some of the words you know mean "don't know" in the sentence. The proportion of such cases is relatively large.
For example: As an exercise in stating the obvious, this could scarcely be faulted.
The words in the sentence are all "familiar", but it is difficult to understand the meaning of the whole sentence.
The biggest obstacle to comprehension is exercise, which we know usually means "exercise, practice, use", but in this sentence means "activity, situation"; another is fault, which usually means "shortcoming, fault". The other is fault, which usually means "shortcoming, malfunction", but in fact it also means "criticism, nitpicking, making a mistake in ......", and so on.
Sentence: This says all the obvious things that are almost impossible to get wrong.
Another example: This has been a major problem exercising the minds of scientists around the world.
The obstacle in this sentence is still exercise, which in this sentence means "to make worried
Sentence: This has been a major problem for scientists around the world.
Four, reading training strategy
1. In addition to the outline vocabulary, the need to expand 20-30% of the high-frequency words outside the program, mainly in the usual reading training consciously organize and memorize the high-frequency words, of course, these vocabulary memory standards can be reduced to the level of "recognition", that is, after seeing that you know the general meaning of the word can be because it is for the reading rather than reading, writing and interpreting preparation. The vocabulary requirement is "big" vocabulary. The main reason for this is the fact that it is not possible to get a good deal of information about the subject matter.
2. Systematic study of grammar (especially syntax). The purpose of learning grammar is not only for the grammar questions in the exam, but also for the accuracy of reading (long difficult sentences), writing) and translation, as well as for the standardization of listening and speaking.
3. To "read" to improve reading ability. Reading is not only about reading, but also about understanding, and word memorization is only a basic part of the process that accounts for less than 20% of the total (of course, it's essential), and it's more about increasing the amount of reading, consolidating the "old words" that you've learned, speculating on the "new words" that you've encountered, and analyzing the long and difficult words that you've learned. "The most important way to improve your reading and comprehension skills is to analyze long and difficult sentences, figure out the author's thinking, and familiarize yourself with English thinking.
