中學(xué)英語水平如何準(zhǔn)備托福詞匯

　　中國有句古話叫作知己知彼，百戰(zhàn)不殆，考試亦是如此。要想在考試中取得好成績，就要清楚自己已經(jīng)掌握了什么知識，還需要補(bǔ)充什么知識。鑒于這樣的情況，我們在分析現(xiàn)行的高中英語新課標(biāo)所要求的詞匯，即單詞約3500個，短語或詞組約360個的基礎(chǔ)上，發(fā)現(xiàn)并建立這些詞匯與托福考試所要求的詞匯的聯(lián)系。從既是高中要求的詞匯也是托福考試要求的詞匯入手，引導(dǎo)學(xué)生從自己已知的東西開始逐步掌握新知識，為學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)單詞鋪設(shè)階梯，這樣既分散了單詞學(xué)習(xí)的難度，又鞏固了各個階段的單詞。這樣學(xué)生不僅能輕松面對高考英語，同時面對國外英語考試的問題也迎刃而解，可謂是一舉兩得。再加上豐富、地道的例句和真題例示必能助同學(xué)們一臂之力。

　　好，現(xiàn)在就和大家分享一些，我們先“讀”為快吧!
