iBT阅读词汇题指的是从语言环境(简称语境)中理解词汇。语境在这里又称上下文。英语单词常常是一词多义,词汇题除了考察考生是否具备一定单词量以外,还测试考生在一定语境下准确地理解词义的技能。这类题不属于新题型,新托福的变化在于单词的难度降低,而灵活性却大大增加。新托福更侧重考生的阅读能力,而不是单纯的考查某一个孤立的语言点。

词汇量大对于理解一篇文章来说至关重要。不过有时可通过上下文来推断或猜测词意,比如可通过例句,对比词,同义词活文章其他段落的解释等。

Trends in clothing fashions are often engineered by clothing designers, advertisers, and the media to create a particular “look”. The “grunge” look is an example of a heavily promoted fashion. Fashions are more universally subscribed to than fads. Wearing athletic shoes as casual attire is a good example of a universal fashion.

Grunge: One that is dirty, inferior, obnoxious, or boring.

% P; @ K+ j# I9 e6 c. H! Z 分析:
% N7 @; u/ Y4 A 1. 选项C正确. Followed意为追随,按语境来说是在意思上最接近subscribed to.
. c0 G' j8 R, M3 Z3 C 2. 选项A属干扰项,是promoted同义词. Donate to虽然有subscribe to的意思,但不能在这个语境下使用,它是subscribe to 的其他意思, subscribe to money指给慈善机构或大选后选人捐款.
8 m# A* B i. P {7 r7 y 3. 选项D的原形lead是follow的反义词,起干扰作用.* L- X s# G: c7 V3 V9 U( f+ i
总之,排除干扰选项,即临近词的同义词,所考查词汇的近义词,反义词及概括总结上下文的词汇等,加上上面的考试技巧,相信可以取得不错的成绩!
