在托福閱讀的10大題型中，托福詞匯題要求考生在語境中理解詞匯。很多同學會將語境中的詞匯的意思和我們現實中理解的含義混淆,以至于選不出正確的答案。那么如何才能順利解答托福詞匯題呢？下面小編就來為大家介紹托福閱讀詞匯題的5種高效解題思路。

1. 從反義詞中尋找線索

托福閱讀中有很多直接反義詞，這些詞的前或后出現的內容會是很明顯的反義關系。大家如果不理解的話可以先看一個中文例子：小王是個____的人，相反她是一個內向的人。從后面的內向可以推出前面應該是個外向之類的詞。所以我們要關注的就是類似例子中“相反”這樣的直接反義詞，英文里比較常見的有：

rather than, instead, unlike, contrast, on the contrary等等。

實例： The main conflict in the novel is between a mother who places a high value on hard work and honor and a son who repudiates his mother’s values instead preferring the easier path to fortune and celebrity

問題： the word repudiates in the passage in closest in meaning to __

A. refuses to accept B. lives up to C. tries to understand D. makes the best of

假如repudiates這個詞大家不認識，那么完全可以從后面的小詞instead這個詞判定兒子和媽媽的價值觀念是相反的，根據這一判斷再看四個選項，你會發現只有A選項帶有否定的意味，這道詞匯題就輕松做出來了。

2. 句式并列關系詞是提示

托福閱讀中表示并列關系的常用詞匯有：

and, not only...but also, as…as, both, either...or..., neither...nor...等等。

實例：She embarked on her career by working as a newspaper reporter in Wisconsin and soon began writing novels.

問題: The phrase embarked on in this sentence is closest in meaning to

A. took a trip to B. started out on C. improved upon D. had a opinion about

我們可以從前后關系判定,首先我們看到一個詞career職業生涯。我們在這句中看到關健詞and其后出現soon began告訴我們前后方向是一致的，前面也必然和began有關，所以本題目的正確答案是B。

3. 結合解釋詞語進行推斷

所謂解釋詞匯，也就是后面的句子或短語詞匯來解釋前面的詞，常見的標志詞有:

contribute to, be responsible for, account for, since, therefore, because, in which

實例：His big break came with the novel So big(1924) ,which was awarded the Pulitzer in literature.

問題： the word break in this sentence could best be replaced by ___

A. rupture B. revelation C. opportunity D. rest

which was awarded the Pulitzer in Literature告訴我們一定考查的是正態度，所以答案不可能是A或D，應該選C Opportunity，代表一種有利的狀態或合適的時機。

4. 分析句子動詞賓語搭配

托福閱讀詞匯題還有這種做法，就是看看賓語能否和動詞搭配，考生可以從動詞短語搭配去做判斷。

實例：The oxidation of exhaust gases is one of primary sources of the world’s pollutions. The brown haze that is poised over some of the world’s largest cities is properly called photochemical smog.

The word poised in this sentence is closest in meaning to__

A. interacting B. sitting C. blowing D. poisoning

首先從搭配關系上可以排除interacting ,因為interact的搭配是with。然后可以從上下文關系排除blowing，因為blow over就吹走了不會有smog。同時D選項的poisoning在作為及物動詞的時候才有pollute的含義，替換到本句中式不及物的用法只有一種含義表示投毒也不符合，所以選B。

5. 找對應修飾類形容詞來判斷

不是每個形容詞都可以修飾所有的名詞。這就好比很少會有人去說一個隊伍排得很粗，而一般都隊伍排得很長，哪怕有很多人插隊造成了隊伍看上去很粗的感覺。

實例：When the gas reaches the air, it comes into contact with available oxygen from atmosphere and combines with the oxygen to produce nitrogen dioxide (No2),which is a gas with a brownish hue.

The word hue in this sentence is closest in meaning to

A. color B. odor C. thickness D. smoke

對于本題你會發現有個小詞brownish呈褐色的，首先從形容詞修飾名詞關系可以直接排除B odor和C thickness，其次可以通過a gas with brownish hue前面的gas排除D選項smoke，用詞重復。所以正確答案是A。
