问题    掌握大量的词汇对于达到一门外语的流利程度是至关重要的。一个非官方的但却是经常被引用的有关剑桥初级证书英语考试(Cambridge First Certificate Examination)的数字表明,词汇量少于3500的学生不大可能在这项考试中成功。最近的研究也表明,其母语为英语的受教育至18岁或18岁以上的人至少要认识16000个英语单词。除非你已经会讲一种像西班牙语或德语这样的语言,要获得大的英语词汇量是没有捷径可走的:你就得依靠勤奋和专注。当然,你可以从亡下文猜出你阅读中遇到的一些生词的意思,但往往你得查词典才能搞清它们的确切意思。一个切实可行的学习新词的方法或许就是大量阅读,最好是读那些你觉得有趣或刺激的故事。反复阅读同一本书常常是很有好处的:你每读一次都会学到不同的生词,而熟悉的背景又有助于将这些新词牢牢地印在你的脑海中。

选项

答案 Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a foreign language. An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate Examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there is no short-cut to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practical way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferable stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time . on read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.
