一:作者对于本英英词汇表的说明:
A、和网络上有非常多的高中英语及高考词汇资源,但都是以中文解释的。本词汇表全部引用Longman英英词典对单词的解释,非常有助于学生、家长或者教师查询(可以不用查询英英词典,一本朗文英英词典真重!);
B、采用英英对单词的解释的意义或者作用这里就不用多说,只讲一点:如果将高中生送到英美留学,他接触不到中英词典,只会找到英英词典,也只会找到英英解释; C、可能最开始时,还不能用英英解释的方式去理解,但这的确是方向;
D、希望本文作者原创的这份资源对高中生能够学会英语思维、在英语学习之路的过程中有一定的帮助!
E、本词汇表采用alphabet的排序方式 (从A-Z)。
F、由于文档的篇幅所限(太长不好上传),本词汇表仅有A部分,其余的部分是分开的。
G、以上单词均有美式和英式原版发音。若需要,请联系*****************。
二:作者对于高中英语及高考学习的建议:
经过小学初中六年以上的时间学习英语,广大高中生一定有很多心得,但可能在口语有听力方面还需要有比较大的提高。
还有,自己在学英文时,自己的母语---中文始终扮演着中介和桥梁的作用,也就是借助中文去理解英文 。但在学习一门外语时,自己的母语对外语学习的最大障碍,在中国尤其严重,因为东方文化和东西文化基本是冲突的。
但英语,我们却一定要学,而且要花的时间少,效率高,学的好。为了这个简单的目标,以下是在高中生学习英语的基本建议(仅仅是作者给出的建议,如认可,可以参考): A、学到一个单词,想到一张图片或场景,也就是将单词放“翻译”图片,直接将单词和图片关联,减少母语的影响,对快速形成英语思维,提高兴趣有非常大的帮助; 这个一个典型的 例子:
B、关于单词的发音。即使学会了英文音标,也可能不能够正确的读出某个单词的发音,更有可能连英文教师的读音也不一定准确。所以在开始时,尽可以听原版的英文单词发音。
C、我们已经学会了大概1000-2000个左右的基础词汇(也可以称为定义词汇),我们已经比较熟悉。如果再学新的词汇,努力用这些词汇去解释新的单词,也就是用常用的英语去理解新的词汇,这样做有非常多的好处。
D、到这个阶段,你学英语的方式应该是享受英语给你不来的乐趣,而不是还是花费大量时间去当做任务来做。
E、如任何有关英英思维的问题,请发信至*****************进行交流。
