笔者对2002年6月全国大学英语四级考试试题的Vocabulary and Structure部分作了简单分析,发现词义辨析题明显增加。30个选题中,考词汇的占了近60%。笔者翻阅了往届的四级全真试题,此部分60%为语法和句子结构试题,考词汇的就占了40%左右,由此可见,考生今后的方向应加强词汇学习,扩大词汇量,牢记一些易混词的含义和用法是非常必要的。 www.test99.com www.test99.com
此次试题中的17个词汇辨析题并非无聊的同义词辨析游戏,它们当中大部分词义并不相关,主要考查考生的词汇量。下面让我们一起来分析一下这些词汇。(试题序号为原试卷序号) www.test99.com
