从上面的考题可以看出:CET-6中词汇部分主要是考查考生对同义词、近义词、近形词的区分和辨析及其相关的固定搭配。所以要学好词汇,不能只满足于记住了多少个单词和短语,更重要的是掌握它们的习惯用法,并能加以灵活运用。鉴于此,考生在学习和复习词汇部分时应注意以下几点:第一,通过把握基本的构词法(如:词缀法,合成法,词的派生等)了解英语单词的内在规律,从而有效地扩大词汇量;第二,记单词时既要注意词的确切含义,又要注意其引申意义,牢记词的固定搭配和它们的特殊用法;第三,考生平时最好是把同义词、近形词以及近义词集中到一起加以区分和记忆,这样既能准确记住它们又能领会它们的细微差异和各自的涵义。如:记 sense时,就可以同时区分和记忆
sensitive, sensible,sentiment,sensation这些词。同样,记动词短语时也最好把该动词的其它常见搭配集中在一起进行比较记忆。如:记take on时,就可以同时把take after,take off,take in,take up,take over,take to等常见短语进行比较后再记住它们;第四,为了使词汇的复习具有针对性,考生最好将往年的考题找来分析,总结和记住那些常考词汇.
