读故事记单词 新GRE词汇

　　全书共收录200篇精心编写的故事，每一篇都由三个部分组成：故事、译文和词汇。本书将枯燥的词汇融入生动而有趣的故事中，使学生在阅读文章的同时，迅速熟记并掌握新GRE词汇。这不仅有利于提高学生记单词的效率，也有益于提高学生的阅读能力和词汇运用能力。 书中所收录的故事生动有趣、话题广泛、内容丰富，可作为新GRE阅读理解的最佳辅助材料。本书所收录的词条涵盖了新GRE考试的重点词汇，配有相应的中英文注解，内容紧扣新GRE真题考查范围。此外，部分词汇还配有同义词、反义词、词根词缀等以帮助记忆。在文中，所有词汇均以专色字呈现，便于学生在阅读过程中对重点词汇一目了然。最后，全书每篇文章都配有准确的中文译文，旨在帮助学生加深对文章的理解，更快速高效地记住文章中的重点词汇，达到在故事情境中记单词的最佳效果。词汇是英语学习的砖石，无砖难以成厦。但传统的记忆单词的方法枯燥而乏味，极易引起学生对单词记忆的疲劳感，往往是记了后面忘了前面，事倍而功半。大量的研究早已表明，只有通过阅读才是记忆单词的最佳途径。本书精心挑选并收录了200篇英文故事，通过这些故事将一个个看似毫无联系的单词串联起来。这样记单词不仅简单方便，还变机械背诵为主动记忆，大大提高了单词记忆的效率和准确性。在阅读这些故事的过程中，我们会发现原本枯燥的单词和沉闷的学习也可以变得生动而有趣。
