八级词汇专项自测题十套(1)

八级词汇专项自测题十套(1000题)通过上述“代前言”和前四章的学习,我们已初步弄清了如下五个问题: 1.“自然英语”是一种客观存在,是本书作者多年研习英语词汇和阅读的一种发现和归 纳,它的核心就是对英语学习的观念、材料和方法进行客观描述,而不去主观规定,一切顺其自然。 2.本书的选词为什么要借鉴当今英语国家权威的英语词典,又参考适应中国各级英语考试“国情”的相关词 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 呢?对此,我们在第一章中,对八级选词的理据和来源做了若干讨论和说明,权当回答上述问题,让大家都成为明白人。 3.第二章分析、列举、测试了英语专业八级词汇与几种中美主要考试级别的词汇,不仅使读者高屋建瓴地俯瞰各级词汇的源头、流向、分枝的景况,也让读者“试上一把”,从而知道各级词汇的难度。不仅如此,本章提供的相关论据和材料,对读者的整体复习,也能助上一臂之力。 4.本书在第三章中,首先把英语专业四级词汇和八级词汇在权威样题(主要是阅读题)中的情况做些说明,接着附录英语专业四级和八级全真阅读原题,以便读者真切感受各级词汇在其中发挥的作用。读完本章,读者一定会对八级词汇在八级试卷中的体现有了比较具体的印象,并根据各级词汇在试卷各题型中所占的准确的词汇比例,检查相关词汇上的问题,并明确改进的具体内容。 5.如果说“代前言”是立论,前三章是铺垫,第四章才是本书要达到的根本目的:通过鲜活的、完美的语言上下文,即通过那些构思了整体布局、考究了结构修辞、斟酌了词语达意的各类文体,如诗歌、散文、小说、科普文和时文文选等,真真正正地体现了“自然英语”所要求的各项要素。这不仅是本书的高潮,也是编著者希望读者从根本上习惯新的,“自然英语法”学词汇的期望之所在。当然,本章中用于自学和教学的时间,也将会是最长的。 最后,为了让本书所收英语专业八级词汇的覆盖面尽可能地大,我们从前几章例文里没有覆盖到的八级词中,选出一部分词,编题专项训练。在下面的十套1000题中,每套题的前30题和后30题为本书作者自编,其余40题为往年“托福”词汇题的精选。这些题的题干句,大都富有现代生活气息,盈溢文理百科的理念,综合知识面广、句式变化大;虽不能像上述引用的各类文章,将词义包容、涵盖、演绎得淋漓尽致,但仍可作为认知某个生词的第一步。所以说,题干句本身,不仅具有最小的、但却完整的“语言上下文”(linguistic context),还起到了“工具(相当于某词义项的例句)的功能,读者亦可仔细体味。 自测题第一套 I.
