明明背过的词，怎么放在托福阅读考试中就不认识了呢？

托福考生们常常疑惑问：明明背过的词，怎么放在托福阅读考试中就不认识了呢？确实这种情况很常见，这些词虽然简单也非常常见，但是在句子中就不能直接套用常见的意思，需要结合上下文，才能正确理解，这是因为一个词往往会有很多意思，这也就要求同学们在托福备考中多了解一些多意的单词。

因此今天西安托福培训学校-新航道小编今天给大家分享一些多意的词汇，大家可以收藏起来。

1、Suggest

在托福里，真的很少见到“建议”这种说法，倒是往往与下结论有关，可理解为“表明”。    举例：Timberline trees are normally evergreens, suggesting that these have some advantage over deciduous trees (those that lose their leaves) in the extreme environments of the upper timberline. (TPO1 Timberline Vegetation on Mountains)

2、complex

这个词还有“建筑群”的意思，但很多考生会误解为“复杂”。

举例：It had over 2,000 apartment complexes, a great market, a large number of industrial workshops, an administrative center, a number of massive religious edifices… (TPO8 The Rise of Teotihuacán)

3、largely

有多少人看到后第一反应是“大”，需要结合上下文后理解为“在很大程度上”。

举例：The distinctive look of ancient Egyptian sculpture was determined largely by its function. (TPO11 Ancient Egyptian Sculpture)

4、game

大部分托福初学者都会忽略这个词还有“野生猎物”的意思，所以非常容易误解句意。

举例：They had experienced great difficulty finding game west of the Rockies and not until the second of December did they kill their first elk. (TPO4 Deer Populations of the Puget Sound)

5、evenly

这个词和“甚至”毫无关系，因为“甚至”对应的“even”本来就是个副词，不能再加“-ly”了，evenly在托福阅读里有“均匀地”意思。

举例：Petroleum forms best when organic matter is evenly distributed over ... (TPO43 The Origin of Petroleum)

6、in turn

字典里的意思是“反过来”,实际上结合上下文也可以理解为“接着会…（发生）…”     举例：The conventional theory is that people yawn when bored or sleepy because yawning raises blood oxygen levels, which in turn raises alertness. (TPO18 The mystery of yawning)

7、readily

很多时候考察的是“容易地”意思，并非和“准备”有关。     举例：The  release of heat energy is retarded by the tall vertical city walls that do not allow infrared radiation to escape as readily asdoes the relatively level surface of the surrounding countryside. (TPO48 Climate and Urban Development)

8、mine

mine还有“矿”的意思，这个一定要记清楚。     举例：This scenario begins with the planting of hyperaccumulating species in the target area, such as an abandoned mine or an irrigation pond contaminated by run off. (TPO5 Plants and Minerals)

9、considerable

单词书里常见的“值得考虑的”这个意思，在托福考试中很少考到，反而“相当大的”、“相当多的”考察的次数更多。     举例：The existence of competition has been long known to naturalists; its effects were described by Darwin in considerable detail. (TPO29 Competition)

10、impact

除了“影响”外，“冲击、撞击”的词意也要一起掌握。

举例：In view of these facts, scientists hypothesized that a single large asteroid, about 10 to 15 kilometers across, collided with Earth, and the resulting fallout created the boundary clay. Their calculations show that the impact kicked up a dust cloud that cut off sunlight for several months, inhibiting photosynthesis in plants; decreased surface temperatures on continents to below freezing…(TPO8 Dinosaur Extinctions)

11、critical

这个词还有“重要的”这个释义，在考试中也是挺常见的。

举例：First, primary groups are critical to the socialization process. Within them, infants and children are introduced to the ways of their society. (TPO13 Types of Social Groups)

12、Edge

大部分考生都会掌握“边缘”这个意思，“（微弱的）优势”这个词意不太多见，但也建议要了解一下。

举例：It seems likely that Teotihuacán’s natural resources, along with the city elite’s ability to recognize their potential, gave the city a competitive edge over its neighbors. Thevalley, like many other places in Mexican and Guatemalan highlands, was rich in obsidian. (TPO8 The Rise of Teotihuacán)

13、collectively

不能直接翻译为“收集地”，因为这个词还有“共同地”这个释义，考试中也是比较常见的，一定要结合上下文进行理解。

举例：Eventually, six round forms of handwriting, composed of three pairs of big and little scripts known collectively as the Six Pens, became the standard repertory of every calligrapher.(TPO34 Islamic Art and the Book)

以上这些词同学们都很熟悉，可为什么就是放在托福阅读里面就是不认识了，因此小编在这里建议大家在平时托福阅读练习中遇到的词汇，可以单独抄写下来，再次进行记忆。如果在考试中遇到常见词，套用常见词意后无法理解内容，就要尝试结合上下文，分析内容进行理解。
