专四词汇专题讲座 如何突破考试前的“高原期” 或许我们都有这样的体验，考试前复习功课到一定程度后，尤其是复习一两遍之后，便会产生一种莫名的厌倦情绪，不想再看复习材料了。想一想，又觉得自己还有许多地方复习不到家，但是又腻烦得很；精神困倦，可想睡又睡不着；注意力分散，读了几行字竟不知其什么意思，还要从头再读…… 一、要设法使自己的头脑冷静下来，不要着急。要明白“高原期”是下一个飞跃的前奏。这个停顿是必然要出现的。不经过这个阶段，就不会到达巅峰。 二、把自己要复习的功课总结、对比一下，根据教学和考试大纲的要求去寻找差距。 三、认真对待各种测验和模拟考试。 四、一切杂事尽快办完，即使办不完的，也最好放下来，集中精力抓复习。 　我奉劝大家不要老是在找所谓的“捷径”，踏踏实实的走好每一步才是王道。 Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. －－－－知彼知己，百战不殆 专四词汇知多少？ 专四词汇考什么？ 词汇怎么来扩大？ 专四词汇难点与考点解析 专四词汇知多少？ 专四词汇知多少？？？ How many words are there in English? Two separate studies (Dupuy, 1974; Goulden, Nation and Read, 1990) have looked at the vocabulary of Websters Third International Dictionary (1963), the largest non-historical dictionary of English when it was published. When compound words, archaic words, abbreviations, proper names, alternative spellings and dialect forms are excluded, and when words are classified into word families consisting of a base word, inflected forms, and transparent derivations, Websters 3rd has a vocabulary of around 54,000 word families. This is a learning goal far beyond the reaches of second language learners and, as we shall see, most native speakers. At present the best conservative rule of thumb that we have is that up to a vocabulary size of around 20,000 word families, we should expect that native speakers will add roughly 1000 word families a year to their vocabulary size. That means that a five year old beginning school will have a vocabulary of around 4000 to 5000 word families. A university graduate will have a vocabulary of around 20,000 word families (Goulden, Nation and Read, 1990). These figures are very rough and there is likely to be very large variation between individuals. These figures exclude proper names, compound words, abbreviations, and foreign words. A word family is taken to include a base word, its inflected forms, and a small number of reasonably regular derived forms (Bauer and Nation, 1993). Clearly the learner
