1.encounter [inˈkauntə]vt. 遭遇,遇到,反抗 vi.遇到、邂逅 n. 遭遇
联想记忆:
en(强化动作的前缀)+counter(相遇、对抗)→遭遇、反抗。本词的关键是记住词根counter的意思:妹子们跟我记这句话 I countered love in the corner.(转角遇到爱);男生们跟我一起念CS=counter(抵抗、反对) +strike(攻击)=反恐(精英)。这里再讲一下encounter with,它特指意外遇上某人、某事,也就是邂逅的意思;注意可不要在写作中写出“美国大兵邂逅了恐怖分子”这种糟糕的句子哈。最后,以en开头的动词还有很多:enlarge(v. 扩大)、enjoy(v.享受)、endanger(v.危及)、ensure(v.保证),这类en+脸熟单词的组合再出现要能猜出意思哦!

2.terminal [ˈtəːminəl]adj. 晚期的;末端的,终点的 n.终点(站);(计算机)终端;接线端
联想记忆:
term(边界、期限)+inal→终端(的)、末端(的),如果大家对term不熟可以从determine入手,de+termine=决定(终结讨论),亦或是通过terminator来记,施瓦辛格的《终结者》英文就是The Terminator哦。 实际上terminal我们在日常交通中很常见,比如地铁和公交车的终点站叫terminal station;机场的2号航站楼就叫terminal 2,这下知道首都机场的新航站楼为什么叫T3了吧?最后大家顺带记一下它的动词形式terminate(终结)、名词形式termination(结束、终止)。四级词频1;考频1:选词填空1、信息匹配0、阅读0

3. discount [ˈdiskaunt]n.折扣 vt. 把…打折扣;不(全)信
联想记忆:
dis(分离)+count(计算)→折扣,discount的两个意思完全是由count的两个意思衍生出来的,count作为计算得意思我们都知道,而它还有相信、依赖的意思,常常以count on的形式出现,所以discount对应也有不信任的意思。相同词根的还有account(vt. n.账户、算账)、recount(重新计数、详细叙述)等词。四级词频3;考频2:选词填空0、信息匹配2、阅读0

4. import [imˈpɔːt][ˈimpɔːt]vt. 输入,进口 n. 输入,进口;进口商品;意义,重要性
联想记忆:
im(入)+port(拿,运)→进口,输入,对应的词是export出口。以port(原意为港口)为词根的词汇非常多,比如pass(通过)+port(港口)=通行证=护照,air(天空)+port(港口)=空港=机场,trans(转变)+port=运输,de(否定)+port=驱逐出境,最后是port(港口)+able(的)=可运送的=可携带的,我们日常用的手机、笔记本、ipad等都属于portable device移动设备。此外还要注意import有“意义、重要性”的意思,所以才有了important(重要的)这个词。四级词频4;考频1:选词填空0、信息匹配1、阅读0

5. suspicion [səˈspiʃən]n. 怀疑,疑心,猜疑;一点儿,少量
联想记忆:
suspicion是suspect(v.n.嫌疑犯、怀疑、猜疑)的名词形式,这里记suspect的构成:sus(悬置、悬挂)+pect(看法)=怀疑。首先讲一下sus这个前缀,有悬置、保持的意思;在电影《教父》著名的开场白中用到了suspend the sentence(判决),意思是缓刑,其中的suspend就是悬置、推迟的意思;再比如我们常用的sustainable(可持续的)也含有sus这个前缀,一直悬挂着才可持续嘛。最后讲一下pect这个词根,有看和看法的意思,相关的词有aspect, respect, perspect等等,都和“看”有关。六级词频1;考频1:选词填空0、信息匹配1、阅读0

6. preserve [priˈzəːv]vt. 保护,维持;保存,保藏;腌制
联想记忆:
pre(提前)+serve(服务)→保护、保存、腌制,实际上带serve的词都有保存的意思,比如reserve(预定、存留)和conserve(保护、保存)。preserve和它的名词preservation可以说是烂大街了的protect的绝佳替代品,尤其是涉及保护环境的话题时更是如此。最后与preserve意思有些相近的persist希望大家也能记住,persist更强调维持、坚持,其名词persistence有“毅力、恒心”的意思,写作最后一段升华的时候也许能用到。六级词频1;考频1:选词填空0、信息匹配0、阅读1

7. transform [trænsˈfɔːm]vt. 使改观,使改革;变换,把…转换成
联想记忆:
trans(改变)+form(形式)→转换、改革,变形金刚大家都看过,就叫transformer能变形的人。以trans开头的词都有转变的意思,比如前面说到的transport(运输)、translate(翻译)、transfer(转学、转移)、transplant(移植、移居)等。而同样表示改良、改变的还有reform,它更强调进步和革新,reformer就是改革者。1900年前后《纽约时报》报道国服孙中山时用的就是reformer一词,当时他还在于康有为进行较为温和的革命理念上的斗争,而到了1910年辛亥革命期间《纽约时报》就转而用了revolutionist(革命者)一词形容它,通过这个例子同学们就可以感受到reform和revolution的区别了。四级词频1;考频1:选词填空0、信息匹配1、阅读0

8. abundant [əˈbʌndənt]adj. 丰富的,富裕的;大量的,充足的
联想记忆:
a+bund(band团队)+ant(蚂蚁)→一群蚂蚁→大量的、充足的,作为单词书上的万年老二它永远被abandon盖过一头,然而同学们一旦坚持住没有放弃,自己的词汇量就会非常丰富充足啦。abundant有个地道的固定搭配是be abundant in,A is abundant in B的意思是A中富含、有很多B,一定不要记反了当成A在B中有很多!例句:The rainforests are abundant in species. 这些雨林地区物种丰富。四级词频2;考频2:选词填空0、信息匹配1、阅读1

9. version [ˈvəːʃən]n. 译文,译本;改写本
联想记忆:
vers(转化)+ion →从原文转化而来→译本。version一词的重点是它和edition的区分,两个词都有版本的意思。version的“版本”值得是比较大的改变,比如说平装版、精装版、豪华版,或者是不同语言的版本如English version、Chinese version等等,我们手机里的软件所谓的版本用的也是version一词。而edition则是指一些小的编辑上的改动,比如很多教科书都有第一版第二版第N版,这个版本就要用edition。最后说一下用到verse(转化)这一词根的单词:reverse(v.n.adj 逆转、反转),如time cannot reverse时间无法倒流;diverse(adj.多样的);universe(uni独一、合并+verse转化=包含万物又自成一体的宇宙)。六级词频1;考频1:选词填空0、信息匹配0、阅读1

10. advocate[ˈædvəkeit]['ædvəkit]vt. 拥护,提倡,主张n. 拥护者,提倡者;辩护者,律师
联想记忆:
ad(加强)+voca(vocal声音)+te(做)→增加声音→拥护、辩护、律师。基努里维斯和阿尔帕西诺合作过一部经典法律题材的影片就叫The Devil's Advocate,译名为魔鬼代言人,片中基努里维斯是一位从无败绩的律师,最后发现自己的雇主竟然是魔鬼撒旦的化身,片名由此而来。(片中女主是Dior J'adore广告里的塞隆女神哦)advocate作为拥护和提倡与其他单词比起来态度更强硬更坚定,那些在大街上奔走相告的人才配得上用advocate,所以需要拿捏好度哟。
