GRE考试哪些词汇错误率更高?形似近义词才是导致扣分罪魁祸首

举例说明形近词记忆方法

比如有这么两个词，discreet和discrete，它们形状长得非常相似，但意义却有很大的差别。前面这个词的意思是“谨慎小心的”，后 面这个词意思“是离散的，不连续的”。背这种形近词的时候一般可以两步走，第一步是找两个形近词的差异，第二步是通过差异来联想。比方说这两个词的差异非常明显，就在于一个词的结尾是eet，而另一个词的结尾是ete，找出差异之后就可以通过差异来联想了。由于后面这个词discrete的结尾是ete， 两个e不连接在一起，所以这个词的意思是离散的，不连续的。而前面这个词discreet的结尾是eet，两个e连在一起了，所以这个词的意思是谨慎小心的。

通过细微差别记忆的技巧

再比如还有两个词，一个是ingenious，意思是“聪明的”，还有一个词是ingenuous，意思是“天真的”。这两个词的形状也很象， 同样我们可以先找差异，差异在于前面这个词 的中间是，后面这个词的中间是u，我们可以把i想象成I，I就是自己，而u可以想象成you，也就是你。而联合两个词的词义，我们每个人都喜欢说自己是聪明的，而说别人是天真的，这样这两个词也就相应记忆住了。

义近词汇总介绍

义近则是指意思相近的词，可以放在一起背诵。比如说下面这些词都是批评谴责的意思：

批评(轻)：v: admonish chide criticize reproach reproof(n) reprove flak

批评(重)：v: berate castigate censure chastise condemn denounce diatribe(n) excoriate fulminate impeach impugn invective(n) inveigh lambaste rail rebuke reprehend reprimand reprobate revile scold upbraid vituperate pan

还有些词则都是称赞的意思：

称赞：v: acclaim applaud commend eulogize exalt extol glorify laud rave tout

n: accolade encomium approbation orchid plaudit tribute

这样把同义的词总结在一起，就很易于背诵，否则要掌握这些词是有相当难度的。

GRE形近词怎么记住

大家来看一下下面这三个词，脑子里回想一下它们各自的含义。

ingenuous ingenious ingenuity

刚刚开始接触GRE的宝宝们可能存在ingenuous与ingenious傻傻分不清楚的状况，如果不去专门背ingenuity含义的宝宝可以会不清楚考查的含义究竟是与ingenuous还是与ingenious更为接近。

大家再看一下下面这几对词：

【aver avert】

【compliment complement】【hypercritical hypocritical】

形近词不可怕，可怕的是你把这些词混淆，进而导致考试做题过程中读错题干或者选错选项。那么形近词的问题我们怎么解决呢?

整理自己的形近词易混词表。每个人容易混淆的词略有差异，在背词的过程中，把自己容易混淆的词放一起，比较这些易混词的差异，利用差异分别记住各个词的含义。

这边Monica简单的给大家分享一下这几对形近词自己背的时候的记忆方法，希望能对各位有缘人有所帮助。当然啦，具体的记忆单词方法因人而异，最终能够让你自己更高效记住的，就是对你而言最好的方法。

【ingenuous vs. ingenious】

【ingenuous adj. 真诚的，坦白的】

【ingenious adj. 天才的，有创造力的】

助记方法1：我(i)是天才的，你(u)是真诚的。

助记方法2：genius天才(ni-)联想 ingenious 天才的

关于ingenuity这个词也是很有意思，词源上它是与ingenuous这个词同源的，但是由于这个词过去的人们也没背好，把它和ingenious搞混了，所以ingenuity作为“真诚”这个含义的用法就废弃了，后来的人们干脆就直接采用了一直以来延用的“天才，独创性”这个含义了。

所以记住【ingenuity n. 天才，独创性】这个乌龙词。

【aver vs. avert】

【aver v. 断言，宣称】

【avert v. 阻止，避免】

助记方法：avoid (v. 避免)，

avert(v. 避免)

记住avert“避免”这个意思，剩下的aver就是“断言，宣称”的意思啦。

【compliment vs. complement】

【compliment n./v. 称赞，赞美】

【complement n./v. 补充 】

助记方法：ple-full 满 complete (v. 使完整) complement(n./v. 补充)

记住complement “补充”这个意思，剩下的compliment就是“称赞，赞美”的意思啦。

(碎碎念：其实词源上这两个词都与complete同源，只是发展方向不一样。compliment取的是“complete the obligations of politeness”这一含义，而complement取的是普通的“fill up”这一含义。)

【hypercritical vs. hypocritical】

【hypercritical adj. 吹毛求疵的】

【hypocritical adj. 虚伪的】

助记方法：hyper-“beyond” 高，超过 hyperbole(n. 夸张)hypercritical(adj. 吹毛求疵的)

hypo-“under” 下面 hypothesis(n. 假设) hypocritical(adj. 虚伪的)

今天GRE中的形近词讲解就到这里啦，我们来复习一下，你现在能通过考验将它们分清楚吗?

【aver avert】

【compliment complement】

【hypercritical hypocritical】

【ingenuous ingenious ingenuity】
