08年考研英语核心词汇1800例句版

编辑整理：杨政（广州新东方高阶词汇主讲）

说明:"核心词汇1800例句版" 是专门为音乐,美术和体育考生准备的.只配了一个最常考的意思,和一个简单例句,减少了他们的复习负担.如果你考研要求在60分左右,那就了解单词的一个意思就够了.否则就要看我编写的"词汇白皮书"教材中单词的多个意思. 因为一词多义是考研的难点,是考研高分必备.

前言：考研英语中，以s开头的单词最多，约200个，其次是以a, c,p,t开始的单词，最少的是x,y,z. 建议大家从单词最多的字母s开始，最硬的骨头开始啃，越背越轻松。其次，记单词时不要采用从A——Z的顺序，而是要灵活搭配，比如A和J， B和O，C和N，D和L等，S和Z等，这样多少搭配，记起来既不觉得累又有成就感。一定记住Frank的建议：每天早晨或中午看4页（约100个单词），把自己不认识的用三角形标记出来(用单词记忆的四个方法:词根词缀;谐音,音变规律,隐含词根,或语境记忆),每天晚上不管多忙,多晚,多累都要把画三角的单词再复习一遍。然后过1天,3天、7天、15天、30天各复习一遍，坚持下来，两个月后，你会发现不知不觉中1800个核心词汇已经烂熟于心了。
