摘 要:英國(guó)著名的語(yǔ)言學(xué)家D. A. Wilkins(1972)曾經(jīng)精辟的指出:沒(méi)有語(yǔ)法不能很好的表達(dá),而沒(méi)有詞匯則什么也不能表達(dá),可以毫不夸張地說(shuō),詞匯量是制約外語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的最重要因素。盡管英語(yǔ)考試有各種題型,但詞匯卻貫穿了英語(yǔ)試卷的方方面面。詞匯是應(yīng)對(duì)各類(lèi)試題的基石,無(wú)論做任何題目,理解題義是第一位的。縱然你有再好的語(yǔ)法知識(shí)和各種做題的小技巧,但如果沒(méi)有足夠的詞匯量,你英語(yǔ)高考的結(jié)局仍然會(huì)“折戟沙場(chǎng)”!下面我們介紹一種一題多做的方法讓學(xué)生在擴(kuò)大詞匯量的同時(shí)提高閱讀能力。
