【題目】How to Improve Vocabulary Fast

Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.

Read every day. 【1】 Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.

【2】If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.

Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.

Elaborate(闡釋)on the meaning of the word. Use imagery and personal relevance. If you have just learned that the word “stubborn” , think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.【3】

Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how yourcat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow.【4】But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.

Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is【5】.The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.

A. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.

B. Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.

C. The vocabulary can be increased.

D. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.

E. The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem strange.

F. Find a new word every day.

G. The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.

【解析】試題分析：本文屬于教育類閱讀，主要介紹的是拓寬詞匯量的幾個(gè)建議。

【1】G 在第一段中作者提出擴(kuò)大詞匯量有幾個(gè)方法，本段第一句Read every day中提出每天閱讀可以增加我們的詞匯量。G項(xiàng)The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.你閱讀得越多，你的詞匯量增加得就越快。和這一段的主題完全一致。

【2】F 根據(jù)下句If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.在日常閱讀中如果找不到不熟悉的單詞，也要使用字典找一個(gè)自己不熟悉的單詞。換句話說，也就是每天都要學(xué)一個(gè)新單詞。故F正確。

【3】D 根據(jù)前句If you have just learned the word “stubborn”, think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.當(dāng)你學(xué)習(xí)“固執(zhí)”這個(gè)單詞的時(shí)候，就想象一下能夠不愿意借車的鄰居。也就是使用想象，來學(xué)習(xí)單詞。與D項(xiàng)Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.一致。

【4】E 根據(jù)本段第一句Use your new word in speech and in writing.作者建議學(xué)以致用。也就是把所學(xué)的詞匯用在講話和寫作中，E項(xiàng)The first time you use a new word in speech, it may seem clumsy and forced.敘述的正是這個(gè)話題。

【5】A 根據(jù)前面一句Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is.可知要鼓勵(lì)別人問你最近學(xué)了什么單詞，或者你來解釋一下你所使用的單詞的含義。通過這一方法來拓寬的詞匯量。故A正確。
