大家可以看到阅读技巧的运用，即跳读或者略读却学术概念本身，而将阅读重点落脚在常见词汇以及常见表达上。在此基础上，我们甚至还可以归纳出，在平常的托福复习中，我们应当怎样保证高效的词汇记忆。事实上，从词性的角度划分的话，动词的记忆优先级最高，形容词副词次之，而最后是名词;从同义替换的角度加以理解的话，记忆词汇最核心的是将近义词、同义词加以分类记忆，这样既能保证效率，又能满足考试要求，比如以下试题：

　　细节题：

　　原文：The most striking charACTeristic of the plants of the alpine zone is their low growth form. This enables them to avoid the worst rigors of high winds and permits them to make use of the higher temperatures immediately adjacent to the ground surface. In an area where low temperatures are limiting to life, the importance of the additional heat near the surface is crucial. The low growth form can also permit the plants to take advantage of the insulation provided by a winter snow cover. In the equatorial mountains the low growth form is less prevalent.

　　选项：

　　11. According to paragraph 6, all of the following statements are true of plants in the alpine zone EXCEPT:

　　A. Because they are low, they are less exposed to strong winds.

　　B. Because they are low, the winter snow cover gives them more protection from the extreme cold.

　　C. In the equatorial mountains, they tend to be lower than in mountains elsewhere.

　　D. Their low growth form keeps them closer to the ground, where there is more heat than further up.分析如下：

　　本题目中，细节题不在只是“细节题”了，而是针对全段各个细节信息逐一考核，这就需要我们单独依据选项来进行分析，找出同义替换来。

　　首先是A选项，“less exposed to strong winds.”就对应了“avoid the worst rigors of high winds”，关键词要识别avoid;

　　B选项，“gives them more protection from the extreme cold”就对应了“insulation”，关键词要识别insulation;

　　C选项，“tend to be lower than…elsewhere”就对应了“the low growth form is less prevalent”，关键词要识别prevalent;这个词表示普遍的，流行的意思，因此可依据原意，当地低矮的植被更少，也就是当地要比其他地域更高的意思，不符合选项，所以C是我们要的答案

　　D选项，“more heat”就对应了“higher temperatures”，关键词要识别常见的温度表达;

　　结论如下：

　　本质上这个题型要求我们所掌握的词汇为“avoid”;“insulation”;“prevalent”;即使大家对其中部分词汇如rigor，alpine zone不熟悉，也不影响我们做题。如果我们平常复习时就能够掌握托福这些核心的动词及形容词，做此题必将得心应手。

　　总之，词汇是阅读考试的基础，但是基础弱时间紧的同学，往往发现花了大量的时间背单词，却收效甚微，要么机械记忆下词汇记得不牢实，要么记住了却在句子中无法正常理解，而更多的情况却是记了那些考察范围窄，出现频率低的词汇，以至于学不能致用，降低了学习效率。因此，请还奋战在红宝书一线的同学们，仔细的观察并记忆那些动词，形容词吧，这是我们考试的关键所在。
