GRE备考中如何打造专属高频词汇库?比起刷词汇书你更需要做这件事
什么是专属的GRE高频词汇库?
众所周知,GRE考试是题库类型的考试,虽然经常会出一些新题,但本质上重复和翻新旧题在不同场次的考试中还是相当常见的,部分题目或者词汇总是在考试中出现,久而久之就形成了所谓高频题型和高频词汇的概念。背熟这些在考试中出现几率更高的词汇能够帮助考生更好地应对考试。
然而高频词汇虽然好用,但如同前面所说GRE考试题目常有更新,很多本来高频的词汇也很有可能慢慢被淘汰不再选用,高频词汇本身也存在时效性方面的更新迭代情况,而这种更新速度是实体书类教材无法及时跟上的,比如《再要你命3000》这一类的高频词汇书便一定程度上存在这种问题。同时,不同考生对于高频词汇的掌握也有很多差别,有些同学对一些高频词汇已经掌握得滚瓜烂熟根本不需要再花时间细背,而其它考生可能正好记不住这些高频词汇。所以小编希望大家还是能够在刷词汇书的基础上建立和打造属于自己,更贴合自身需求的GRE高频词汇库,为考试做进一步的准备。
如何打造专属GRE高频词汇库?
那么,考生怎样才能打造属于自己的GRE高频词汇库,小编认为主要有以下几个步骤需要大家做好。
1. 以高频词汇书教材为基础
首先,考生在缺乏对高频词汇认识的情况下,还是需要先以高频词汇类教材作为基础来建立基本的词汇库,虽然这些教材可能存在一定的时效性问题,但其中大部分的词汇作为高频词汇还是很有价值的。考生假如没有这方面的词汇基础积累,那么先刷一遍或者几遍高频词汇教材打好基础,其实还是很有必要的。
2. 结合自我认识筛选精简词汇库
在背完高频词汇教材掌握好其中的单词以后,下一步大家要做的就是结合自我认识来对词汇库进行筛选精简工作。这一步就是为了让词汇库更加符合自身的要求而进行的。具体做法是大家把词汇库中的每一个单词都过一遍,对其中自己掌握得非常熟悉,包括熟词僻义或者一词多义等有所了解,能够随口就说出同近反义词、搭配用法甚至造句的词汇进行排除,从而对高频词汇库进行压缩。最终目标是让词汇库中只剩下那些自己掌握得还不太熟练,虽然知道是高频词汇但自己并没有把握能够保证不出错的词汇。这些词汇就是大家之后需要加强记忆的高频词汇。
3. 在做题过程中扩充高频词汇库
除了做精简瘦身外,考生也需要自己在实际做题过程中的体会经验来扩充高频词汇库才行。之前说过词汇书时效性的问题,而想要解决这个问题就需要通过考生自己在做题的时候进行总结整理,比如题目中总是遇到,出错率比较高同时也不在高频词汇库中的词汇大家就要注意及时添加到高频词汇库中,另外有些词汇如果大家因为一词多义或者熟词僻义等问题而做错过相关题目,那么这类词汇也需要赶紧加入词汇库。通过在训练时不断积累和添加词汇,大家就能逐渐打造出一个专属于自己的GRE高频词汇库了。
4. 对高频词汇库进行集中反复记忆
当然,整理出一个高频词汇库并非最终目的,考生实际要做的是把这些词汇按照一定的规律来进行强度较高的集中反复记忆,确保所有高频词库中的词汇自己都能彻底理解、深度记忆和熟练掌握,不仅要能够在VERBAL部分顺利应对,还要能在GRE写作过程中适当运用。只有这样,你辛苦整理出的GRE高频词汇库才能真正为你所用,发挥出实战提分价值。
