北外雅思阅读词组转换
词组的转换一般情况下是雅思阅读同义词转换的一个衍生。当一个词无法用另一个同义词到位地解释时,可能会出现用词组解释的情况。另外如果本身就是词组的形式,那么通常来讲还是会用词组的形式进行解释,下面是北外雅思整理的详细内容。
例如:
Example 1:
原文:Computers are gainingin popularity, despite their cost.
题目:Computers are morepopular than they used to be.
原文当中的gaining in popularity题目中用morepopular than they used to be作为替换。两者在意思上属于完全一致的同义转换,因此答案为TRUE。
Example 2:
原文:Biologically, aspecies becomes extinct when its last individual dies.
题目:In biological terms,a species is said to be extinct when only one individual exists.
原文当中的biologically用题目的inbiological terms作为替换。Become则由issaid to be作为替换。但是原文当中的die在题目中变成了exist, 直接相反的意思。介于最后这一处的转换与原文信息不符,可以判断出此题答案是FALSE。
Example 3:
There were severalreasons for the research into plastics in the nineteenth century, among themthe great advances that had been made in the field of _____and the search foralternatives to natural resources like ivory.
解析:根据nineteenth century定位到文中第二段......Theimpetus behind the development of these early plastics was generated by anumber of factors- immense technological progress in the domain ofchemistry,.......其中,in the field of意思等同于inthe domain of“在....领域”,因此答案为chemistry。
In recent years, manyof them have been obliged to give up their _____ lifestyle, but they continueto depend mainly on _____ for their food and clothes.
解析:根据上下文定位到文中Overthe past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic ways and settled in theterritory's 18 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature toprovide food and clothing. 因为大多数同学都认识abandon, 更知道giveup是“放弃”的意思,属于单词与词组的替换,因此第一个空填nomadic,lifestyle“生活方式”与ways替换,dependmainly on与rely heavily on属于词组与词组的替换,意为“依赖......”,答案为nature。
综上所述,同义词替换在雅思阅读中的重要作用显而易见。北外雅思提醒广大考生在平时一定要注意多积累,比如在背单词的时候,就不能只满足于记住单词本身,还应该多想想这个单词有什么同义、近义词,以及词组的代换,这样在雅思阅读中就能取得好的成绩。
