考前突破词汇难关之对策
词汇在英语学习中的重要性自不待言，要想把英语学好，词汇掌握少了是不可能的。为了帮助考生在考前有效突破这一难关，特提出如下对策：
一、区别不同要求，各个击破“堡垒”
同等学力考试分为口语交际、阅读、翻译、写作、词汇等专项测试。这些专项测试对词汇数量、类型和掌握的熟练程度要求也是差别很大的。口语交际所要求的词汇量不大，但要求熟练程度高。其中对人文教育、科学技术、生活口语、习语谚语等，必须做到“眼熟”。翻译和写作涉及的词数量也不大，但多数是正规的大词，尤其连接词汇、句法结构功能词等要用得熟练。辨错改错、综合填充用词数量均有限，主要考运用技能。相比之下，阅读词汇数量最大，几乎涉及到全部《大纲》词表，不过其中许多词只要能认识即可。“词汇”考项涉及的词群已如前所述，不仅要求认识，更要求掌握其用法及细微差别。针对这些不同的要求，考生不可仅靠“背词”一招取胜，而应采取如下方法各个击破：（1）先快速背诵本系列丛书的《大纲词汇板块速记》一书，不仅可一举突破阅读的词汇难关，也可对听力等其它考项词群认识在先。（2）在背上述词汇其间，重在“听”配套的磁带，以听熟“听力”词群。（3）对写作、翻译涉及的词群，通过动笔“写”熟。（4）对其它词群则主要靠在练习中巩固与消化。
二、集中精力于难点，复用词汇靠题练
《大纲》规定同等学力应试考生最低应掌握5,300个英语词汇和300个左右的常用动词词组。对其中的2,500个带星号的复用词要求熟练掌握。其学习重点已很明确。且在这2,500左右带星号的复用词中，其中中学学过的词就有1,500多。要考的复用词中真正生疏的也只有1,000个左右。下面把1995～2006这11年考题中经常考到的词汇列示如下：

通过以上的小统计可以看出，过去年考卷中词汇部分所考到的重点词汇集中在常用动词（包括短语动词）、常用名词、形容词词组、副词，还有少量的介副词性小品词。这些都是英语词汇中最活跃的词汇。由过去可推知未来，今后的命题也还会沿用这个宗旨。考生若能把自己的精力集中在这类复用词汇上，复习效果肯定能够提高较快。对待这些复用词汇，单纯靠“背”是解决不了问题的，而要在大量的练习中掌握之。
