眾所周知，雅思考試聽說讀寫四項考試圍繞的一個主旨就是同義替換，尤其是聽力更為明顯。雅思聽力非常明顯的一個特征就是不要求學(xué)生能夠完全聽懂，但是答案部分的同義替換的細(xì)節(jié)必須能夠做到透徹的了解，才能正確作答。此外，雅思聽力的另外一個鮮為人知的特點就是同義替換詞反復(fù)利用，反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，這樣就為廣大考生復(fù)習(xí)聽力提供了很大的幫助。只要同學(xué)們對劍橋中的高頻同義轉(zhuǎn)換詞了若指掌，那么你就真正能夠洞若觀火，處變不驚了。那么，下面朗閣雅思培訓(xùn)專家就具體給同學(xué)們分析一下聽力中的替換詞。

　　一、答案類高頻同義轉(zhuǎn)換詞

　　標(biāo)題的意思是文中以下詞匯在聽力原文中高頻出現(xiàn)，而且是以答案形式出現(xiàn)的。但是我們知道雅思聽力的游戲規(guī)則是“所聽即所得”，那么這類題目一般以選擇題形式出現(xiàn)。下面我們對這些重點詞匯或詞組做一下總結(jié)。

　　A. wildlife = animals / plants / vegetation

　　實例回放：Cambridge8 Test2 Section2的20題：The shop contains books about: A. animals B. local traditions C. the history of the park. 聽力原文：there is a wide selection of books on wildlife...同樣的替換在Cambridge8 Test1 Section3的27題，這次聽力原文中作者說到：I’d like to see something about the local wildlife, and vegetation too. 選項還是animal。據(jù)統(tǒng)計，這個同義替換在劍橋中出現(xiàn)了四次，它的重要性可見一斑。

　　B. currently = at present / at the moment

　　實例回放：Cambridge8 Test2 Section2的19題：What can you see in the park at the present time? A. the arrival of wild birds B. fruit tree blossom C. a demonstration of fishing 聽力原文：for example John Havers, our expert fly fisherman, is currently giving displays on the lake. 同樣這組替換詞在劍橋中出現(xiàn)頻率也非常高。

　　C. book = reserve; booking = reservation

　　實例回放：Cambridge9 Test1 Section2的19和20多項選擇：Which TWO pieces of information does the speaker give about the fitness test? A. You need to reserve a place. 原文：There are only a limited number of places available for this, so to make a booking phone... 特別強調(diào)，這對替換詞在劍橋中不僅以選擇題形式出現(xiàn)，其中reservation / booking也經(jīng)常在填空題中出現(xiàn)，比如：Cambridge6 Test2 Section2的17題，同樣的Cambridge7 Test1 Section1的第5題。所以請同學(xué)們予以足夠的重視。

　　D. a range of = a variety of

　　實例回放：Cambridge7 Test3 Section4的33題：The company focused their research on: A. a wide variety of hotels B. large, luxury hotel chains C. exotic holiday hotels 聽力原文：The company’s research covered a whole range of different hotel types... 同樣的替換在Cambridge4 Test4 Section2的13題的非答案部分。另外要注意在Insights into IELTS的練習(xí)題里range曾經(jīng)作為答案出現(xiàn)。

　　E. often = frequently

　　看似很簡單的替換，但是考試中卻頻繁出現(xiàn)。實例回放：Cambridge8 Test3 Section4的31題：Compared to introducing new business processes, attempts to copy existing processes are: A. more attractive B. more frequent C. more straightforward. 聽力原文：It’s a less glamorous activity than pure innovation, but it actually happens more often, as a matter of fact. 同樣的在Official IELTS Practice materials中的40題出現(xiàn)了詞組替換詞。

　　F. convert= change

　　實例回放：Cambridge8 Test3 Section1的10題：Which TWO facilities in the district of Devon Close are open to the public at the moment? A. museum B. concert hall C. cinema D. ... 原文：The only one (cinema) closed down last year, and it’s now in the process of being converted into a film museum. 如果學(xué)生知道這組同義替換，那么就可以用排除法，選出正確答案。另外convert在Cambridge9 Test3 Section4的36題附近“客串”過背景單詞。

　　G. complex = complicated

　　實例回放：在朗閣教材中的IELTS Practice Test7 Section2的13題：Jack works with some advanced cyclists who want to develop: A. international competitive riding skills B. knowledge of advanced equipment C. confidence in complex road systems. 原文：We do complete beginner and also advanced courses, that’s for urban cyclists who want to do with the things like riding in the streets with complicated intersections, and things like that. 值得一提的是，complex作為名詞是綜合設(shè)施，復(fù)合體的意思，它在劍橋也同樣作為背景單詞出現(xiàn)過，如：entertainment complex、sports complex。希望考生注意擴充自己的詞匯。

　　H. maximum = up to; minimum = start from

　　這兩對詞很容易記，此處不再舉例。

　　二、背景單詞類高頻同義轉(zhuǎn)換

　　這類詞匯雖然不如第一類直接作為答案，但是一般這類詞的附近就是答案了。而且如果這類詞經(jīng)常在背景里“打醬油”，它們一旦出現(xiàn)了，答案也就不遠(yuǎn)了。

　　A. disadvantage = drawback / negative feature

　　實例回放：Cambridge8 Test1 Section38題：But a two-dimensional map will always have some ____.  聽力原文：But there is a drawback.... And that means there’ll always be a certain degree of distortion on a map.

　　那么相反的一組同義替換詞就是：advantage = benefit / positive feature 這兩組在劍橋中是屢見不鮮。

　　B. focus on = concentrate on / specialize in 這對替換詞在劍九以及雅思練習(xí)題中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)。

　　C. majority = most / main 大部分

　　D. neighborhood = surroundings 周邊環(huán)境

　　E. suburb = outskirts 郊區(qū)

　　F. cope with = deal with 處理；對付

　　G. species = breed 物種

　　H. important = essential / crucial / central 重要

　　I. enrollment = registration 注冊

　　J. ahead of time= ahead of schedule = in advance 提前

　　到此為止，雅思聽力中的高頻同義轉(zhuǎn)換詞朗閣名師已經(jīng)給各位烤鴨們總結(jié)的差不多了，當(dāng)然這并不是全部，也非常歡迎各位考生能到朗閣學(xué)有所成，總結(jié)出更多的同義詞組。Anyway，希望同學(xué)們在考前對這些詞組做到滾瓜爛熟，考試中做到耳聰目明，無論這些詞作為答案還是客串，你都能很順利地把它們的原形揪出來，這樣你的雅思聽力就胸有成竹了。
