2、多尝试练习猜词的方法,这样真正上考场时,考生遇到生词不会过分紧张。具体来说,在查阅词典之前,考生应该先根据单词所在的上下文语境猜测单词的含义,然后再通过查阅词典来进行核实,最后将正确含义记录在笔记本上。托福阅读中的学科词汇要积累吗?是不是所有自己不认识的单词都需要仔细背诵呢?当然不是。托福阅读*具有多学科的特点,所以,势必会有很多学科词汇是考生所不认识的,对于专业的学科词汇,考生只要做到识记含义即可,比如,perennial (多年生植物)、biennial (两年生植物)、annual (一年生植物)等植物学词汇。那么,哪些词汇是必须认真背诵与掌握的呢?简单地说,就是那些影响考生理解句子的单

5、青睐”的考查对象。托福阅读可以积累写作用的词汇此外,考生还可以从托福阅读*中积累写作中可以用到的单词或词组。以下面例句为例。In the wake of the Roman Empires conquest of Britain in the first century A.D., a large number of troops stayed in the new province, and these troops had a considerable impact on Britain with their camps, fortifications(碉堡), and participa
6、tion in the local economy. (托福官方真题19 “The Roman Armys Impact on Britain”)考生可能不认识considerable,查阅后会知道它意为“相当大的;重要的”,那么have a considerable on sth.就表示“对产生重大影响”,这个词组在很多写作话题中都可以使用,考生可以将其作为写作表达积累起来,比如,考生要表达“阅读对人的性格产生着重大影响”的含义,则可以说:“Reading books has a considerable impact on peoples characters.”精读词汇的最后一步就是在笔
