在SAT閱讀技巧中，如何應(yīng)用詞匯在文章中挑出答案是非常基礎(chǔ)的一個。下面為大家介紹一下如何利用辨析易混詞匯來解答題目的SAT閱讀技巧，供大家參考和借鑒之用。

　　考生由于對形似、意近的詞辨別不清，不知道他們各自的具體用法，在閱讀中影響很大，非常有可能產(chǎn)生含義的誤導(dǎo)。

　　比如：有的詞雖然意思相同，但他們表達同一個意思的程度是不同的;有的英語單詞的漢語意思相同，但他們所限定修飾的詞、使用的范圍或者連接的成分是不同的;有的單詞的文體風(fēng)格不同，有正式和非正式之分。

　　1、Original: Bill Gates gives a definite answer that college education does count.

　　Revised: Bill Gates gave a definitive answer: college education does count.

　　Definite意思是明確的、一定的，指意思明確，不會誤解;definitive也是明確的意思，但往往指權(quán)威性、最后決定的。此話出自比爾蓋茨之口，體現(xiàn)權(quán)威性，故將definite改為definitive。

　　2、Original: people may attend a university or college for various reasons...

　　Revised: people attend university or college for a multitude of reasons...

　　此處將various改為短語a multitude of更為正式，體現(xiàn)人們讀大學(xué)的原因很多。

　　3、Original: The kinds of education that we got on school are formal and intense ones...

　　Revised: The kinds of education that we receive at school is formal and of tentimes very intense.

　　不必用kinds of education，直接用education即可;受教育不同get，改為receive;在學(xué)校不必用at school;把one去掉，用oftentimes very intense指出學(xué)校教育常常是非常嚴格的。

　　4、Original: They can foster their interests in some fields to make life more colorful and meaningful.

　　Revised: They can even pick up hobbies to make life more colorful and enjoyable.

　　Foster their interests是培養(yǎng)興趣，此處用pick uphobbies更為合適;不同的興趣是我們生活的調(diào)味劑，使我們的生活多姿多彩，樂趣無窮，把meaningful換成enjoyable，與colorful搭配更合適。

　　5、Original: Needless to say, more employment means more income andless idle life, so that people can enjoy a better life and makeinvestment in their future.

　　Revised: Needless to say, more employment means income and less idletime, so that people can enjoy a better life and invest in their ownfutures.

　　把idle life改為idle time更為合適，表示閑散時間makeinvestment可改為動詞invest，與and前的動詞enjoy詞性一致;人們各自有自己的未來，故將in theirfuture改為in their own futures。

　　6、Original: Another important factor that contributes to the extension of life expectancy is the development of medical science.

　　Revised: Another imortant factor that contributes to the rise in life expectancy is the development of medical science.

　　人的壽命的延長可以表示為life extension，但是如果用life expectancy，則要用the increast of 或the rise in life expectancy。

　　7、Original: the growth of life span.

　　Revised: the rise in/increase of life span.

　　Life span意思是壽命，growth指生長，增長，壽命的延長用growth不合適，life span壽命的延長可以用rise in/increase of/extension of.

　　8、Original: energy saving

　　Revised: energy efficiency

　　Energy saving一般作定語，此處名詞短語節(jié)能最好用energy efficiency。

　　9、Original: with the increasing complicatedness of the job profile

　　Revised: with the increasing complexity of the modern jor profile

　　Complicatedness意思是錯綜復(fù)雜，但是這種錯綜復(fù)雜是有邏輯的;complexity也是復(fù)雜的意思，但這種復(fù)雜是雜亂無辜的，現(xiàn)代的工作情況用complexity較為合適。

　　10、Original: Such experience will difinitely be helpful in childrens later life.

　　Revised: Such experience will benefit them later in life.

　　Helpful是提供幫助的意思，而benefit是使受益。這里作者想說的是孩子將來的人生會受益于這樣的經(jīng)歷，用benefit合適，因為這樣的經(jīng)歷不一定能對孩子將來的人生提供什么具體的幫助。

　　11、Original: In my submission, people should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing.

　　Revised: Because of these circumstances, I believe it is inevitable that people must do what they dont enjoy doing.

　　In ones submission雖然也可以表示某人所持的觀點，但是這是一種非常formal的表述，用在這里和整體文章的風(fēng)格不太相符。

　　12、 Original: For no one can promise what will happen in the future,if you dont save some money, an emergency will probably make you a caton a hot brick.

　　Revised: Because no one can predict the future, if you dont save money an unforeseen emergency can be financially crippling.

　　Promise的意思是承諾、允諾，用在這里不合適，作者要說的是沒有人能與之未來發(fā)生的事，應(yīng)該用predit。還有，作者在這里用了一個慣用語a caton a hot brick，這又有一個錯誤。第一，這個表述本身有錯誤，正確的應(yīng)該是like a cat on hotbricks。第二，這個慣用語的意思是忐忑不安，如熱鍋上的螞蟻，用在這里意思也不太合適。

　　通過上面的12個例子，大家一定對SAT閱讀詞匯的應(yīng)用情況有了一個大概的了解了，對于易混詞匯的辨析，大家還是需要在備考中對詞匯進行更加精確的掌握，這樣才能在考試中恰當(dāng)?shù)膽?yīng)用這些閱讀技巧。
