9. 注意区分同义词、近义词和形似词
近几年的四级英语考试对同义词、近义词和形似词的测试逐渐增多。一般四个选项中至少有两个为近义词。对于这类考题,考生除具备一定的词语辨析的能力外,主要是看上下文的语义关系。如:
① They expect students, particularly graduate students to be able to exhaust the reference __83__ in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but __84_ that their students should not be too dependent on them.
83. A. selections B. collections C. sources D. origins
84. A. hate B. dislike C. like D. prefer
83中collections为全集、汇编;selections为选集,图书馆的资料不只是选集或汇编,所以该两个选项与语意不符。C,D意思接近,但所指有别,只源泉、来源,指起源、起因。图书馆所提供的应该是参考材料的源泉,答案应是C。
② These secondary routes may go up steel slopes, along high , or down frightening hillsides to towns __87__ in deep valleys.
87. A. lying B. laying C. laid D. lied
本题的选择涉及到lie 和lay语义和用法区别以及非谓语动词的用法。表示坐落的应该是不及物动词lie, 做定语与被修饰对象之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系,应该用现在分词形式,即A。
