考研英語7選7解題技巧之用好詞匯銜接詞匯銜接又可以具體分為三種：代詞、同義詞/近義詞、上下義詞/同一范疇詞對應(yīng)關(guān)系。
1.代詞
英語表達中代詞出現(xiàn)的頻率極高，代詞的作用無非是指代前面提及的名詞或形容詞概念，巧妙利用這樣的指代關(guān)系和根據(jù)代詞的單復數(shù)差異可以準確而快速地解題。
例1：……The new design was well received by the reception staff of the hotel chain._________
正確選項為：They all believe that its introduction has led to a modern ,more professional corporate image and greater confidence among them.
例題分析：選項中的they 是復數(shù)的人數(shù)代詞主格，對應(yīng)空格前句中的staff，staff是一個集合名詞(全體員工)，是個復數(shù)概念。代詞中有一類叫不定代詞，常見的有：one, everyone, everybody, each, both, all, many, these, this 等，特別要注意它們所指代的名詞概念的單復數(shù)性質(zhì)，考生如果對此比較敏感，對解題有很大的幫助。
例2：It is important, therefore, that we should know what people using our stores want of us.__________ During the past two years, we have been working hard to improve the standard of our products in both these areas.
正確選項：Research commissioned by the company shows that, above all else, customers expect fashion and value.
例題分析：空格后句末in both these areas中both這個不定代詞提示考生空格中一定出現(xiàn)兩個并列的名詞概念，即fashion and value。當然該題也可通過同義詞對應(yīng)解題：選項中的expect對應(yīng)空格前的want，表“需求”。
2.同義詞/近義詞
英語前言后語之間往往有同義詞、近義詞、近義表達語甚至相同詞匯的重復使用，這是我們解題的一個很好的判斷線索。其實就其本質(zhì)而言，上文講的代詞和下文將涉及的上下義詞及同一范疇詞都是特殊的同義/近義詞。
例1：Laura Ashley made a fortune by looking back to past centuries, searching for old designs to decorate a variety of clothes and household furnishings. _____.
正確選項：These traditional products created a huge wave of demand from the States and elsewhere.
例題分析：空格前句中的old和選項中的traditional是近義詞，是很明顯的同義對應(yīng)關(guān)系。
例2：A Norwegian company, Cortex, has patented a cork, made from man-made materials which it claims is superior to the real thing. ________.
正確選項：I hopes to be making 200 million of its synthetic corks a year by the end of the decade.
例題分析：選項中的synthetic，意為“人工合成的，人造的”，是前句中man-made的同義詞。根據(jù)《大學英語教學大綱詞匯表》(高等教育出版社)，synthetic是一個四級詞匯，但在新東方的BEC和考研閱讀課上，筆者竟驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)很多大學生朋友不認識這個低層詞匯。在此，不得不提醒廣大考生：對大綱詞匯全面而熟練的掌握是高效解答這種題型的根本保證。有時候，如果選項中出現(xiàn)空格前后句里相同的詞匯，尤其是實詞(特別是名詞)，這往往是很好的提示。這就是所謂的同詞重復現(xiàn)象。
例3：These days, Dan Baird runs Front Line Developments, his own computer games business, and has just sold his latest game to the American software giant.____________.“The computer game is now a totally accepted means of entertainment,” she says.
正確選項：She thinks that a lot of people feel that computer games are just a passing fad, but her view is that they are not.
例題分析：空格前后句都出現(xiàn)了computer game，在讀選項的時候很容易注意到這個同詞重復的解題線索。
3.上下義詞/同一范疇詞
什么是上下義詞和同一范疇詞？舉個例子讀者就明白了。fruit和apple之間就是上下義詞，因為前者包含了后者，或者可以說后者是前者的一個子集。apple 和orange之間則是同一范疇的關(guān)系，都屬于fruit。利用前后句中這樣的特殊的同義關(guān)系常常可以很輕松地解題。
例1：A recently study by American management institute shows that the processing of documents takes up 60% of office works’ time, 40% of labor costs and up to 10% of business income. ______.
正確選項：These figures are hardly surprising since documents convey nine-tenths of all information.
例題分析：選項中的these figurer提示我們前句一定出現(xiàn)了三個或三個以上的數(shù)字，figure/number/data 等都表示“數(shù)字，數(shù)據(jù)”，空格前面出現(xiàn)了三個百分數(shù)，屬于數(shù)字的一種，是上下義詞次的關(guān)系。
例2：Certain key products have been subject to a thorough review, most notably menswear , where significant advances have been made in product design and manufacture. ____________.All of these have reported an increase in market share.
正確選項：Other areas where product innovation has been particularly effective are in lingerie, gifts and homeware.
例題分析：空格后句開頭all of these 提示我們空格里面肯定出現(xiàn)三個或三個以上并列的名詞概念，正是選項中的lingerie(女士內(nèi)衣)，gifts(禮品)and homeware(家居用品)，這三個名詞與前句中的menswear(男士服裝)屬于同一范疇類的事物，都是百貨商店里的常見商品類別。從這道例題我們還能得出這樣一個有用的結(jié)論：很多題目的銜接可能不止一個，我們可以從不同的角度來解題或?qū)Υ鸢高M行驗證。
