GRE词汇量提升如何避免低效率机械记忆?2个实用的自然记忆技巧指点

什么是GRE词汇的自然记忆法?

GRE考试词汇记忆中的自然记忆方法主要具有以下两个特点：

1. 自然记忆没有显性的记忆过程

也就是说，我们在记忆过程中不会专门做“背”这个动作，这一点显然和“背”单词的做法是相矛盾的。日常生活中很多例子可以体现自然记忆的这种特征。比如，我们记忆一个人的长相的时候，就从来没有专门“背”过;我们记住自己家住在什么地方的时候，也从来没有“背”过。

2. 自然记忆的结果不容易丧失

在我们所记住的东西中，凡是难以忘记的，几乎都是自然记忆的结果，比如小时候发生的若干事情，平时看过的电视剧情节，父母曾经跟我们说过的话等。相反，机械记忆的结果是很容易丢失的，比如我们经常忘记刻意记过的某条路怎么走，我们也经常忘记专门背诵的某些课文或者诗歌，无论它们是用中文写的还是英文写的。按照这样的特征，我们只需要在单词记忆过程中也尽量模拟自然记忆过程就可以了。

模拟自然记忆的过程非常容易，基本的原则只有一条，就是高频率重复。所有的电视广告都是使用了这种原则很好地实现了自然记忆的过程。所以，在单词记忆的过程中，最有效的办法也是同样的高频率重复。

如何让GRE背单词也成为自然记忆?

1. 使用零散的时间记忆单词

很多同学都喜欢用大段的时间来背单词，但是事实上这么做的效果并不好。首先，大段时间背单词实际上是一种“显性”的单词记忆过程，它已经不是自然记忆的方法。其次，长时间进行枯燥的单词记忆容易造成催眠效应，以至于背单词的时候很容易犯困。第三，每天大量的零散时间不能用于完成“不可拆分”的任务，实际上全部被浪费掉了，而用于处理单词的时间记忆这种可以拆分的任务则正好。因此，小编的建议是根据自己的实际情况总结一下自己每天的零散时间，用若干个5-10分钟的时间段来替代过去的整块时间。这样不仅可以实现单词的自然记忆过程，还能提高学习效率。任何时间、任何地点，只要有空闲就可以看单词，不用在意这段时间有多长，也不用在意这个地方是否是安静的教室。

2. 尽量以10-15天为周期重复所有单词

很多同学把背单词的周期拉得过长，以至于背了后面忘了前面，甚至有很多我们认为已经“记住”的单词在背完整本书背完以后仍然被遗忘了。所以，正确的做法应该是：尽量在记忆衰减前加强对已经看过的单词进行重复，以强化它们在大脑中的印象，而10-15天正好是记忆衰减的周期。我们可以按照需要记忆的单词总量进行划分，得到每天要看的单词量。通常，如果需要记忆的单词总量是5000的话，那么每天应该把单词量限制在不少于400-600。

GRE提升词汇如何避免低效率死记硬背

按照意群分组词汇联想记忆

GRE词汇虽然多，但其中许多词汇之间都存在一定的关联性。考生只要能够找到这种关联性，就能较为轻松地一次性记忆大量词汇。当然，大家在刚开始背单词时能建立联系的词汇可能很少，但只要注意培养这种意识，争取一串串地背单词，看见一个，就能想起一串，考生就能逐步提升词汇的成组记忆效率。比如，同义的、反义的、形似的、同类的、同根的单词放在一块儿记。背单词一段时间之后，看到一个单词，就可以想一想以前学过什么同义的，如果只有印象而想不起来，最好在笔记本上记一笔，下次碰到时，特别注意。再比如，背单词一段时间后，你看到了一个新单词tuxedo(礼服)，你就应该问自己：我一共学了多少关于衣服的词?比如garment，scarf，apparel，dress，trousers，skirt，blouse，jeans等等。虽然有些词汇书里已经做过了一些整理，但还是自己总结的记忆效果更好印象更深刻。通过这种方法，大家的词汇记忆效率能够大幅度提升。

结合词汇发音提升记忆力

相信大家在学校里的英语学习过程中都有过这样的经验，当老师在用英语听写单词时，有很多自己并不知道的单词也可以照着读音写出正确的拼法。这是因为绝大多数的单词是可以听音写出来的，不规则的单词很少。可以这么说，如果你记住了单词的发音，再过几遍，就可以拼出80%的单词，这一点也不夸张。一些同学没有体会到这一点，他们背单词的方法就是一本书，一叠纸和一支笔，狂练拼写。显然，这样做既枯燥又低效。记住，要背单词，第一要诀就是把它正确地读出来，然后你可以按照读音规则进行拼写。这样一举两得，既背会了单词，又练会了单词的发音，为将来能讲一流利而纯正的英语打下了良好的基础。而且通过出声记忆，考生能够对词汇形成更为立体的印象，对于加深词汇记忆，减少背过就忘现象来说大有帮助。

背过的词汇在练习中加深掌握

人与人之间交流的基本单位是句子而不是单词。只有学以致用，真正将所学单词用于日常生活、学习、工作环境中，只有能随心所欲地使用所学新单词、新语句与他人交流，才算得上真正掌握了单词。记住了单词在某一语境中的用法，不但可以在遇到此情况时可熟练地运用此单词，还可以举一反三，将此单词用在相似的语境中，从而真正掌握单词的用法，达到活学活用的目的。

篇3：GRE词汇量如何提升

高分考生解答GRE词汇量如何提升难题 纠正错误认识加强循环记忆

GRE备考词汇量提升遵循原则

对于如何背单词，考生首先应该遵循的原则是：适合自己的才是最好的。如果一本词汇书中平均10个单词只有1-2个不认识，那么这本词汇书对你来说就过于简单。反之如果只有1-2个认识，那说明这些词汇对你来说太难了。一般来说，如果一本词汇书中考生不认识的词汇比例在40%-60%之间，那么这本词汇书就比较适合你现在的水平了。

其次，背单词需要耐心和坚持。如果你没有时间或没有耐心坚持背单词，那么任何词汇书都是毫无意义的。而如果你能做到坚持背单词的话，即使选择的词汇书难度偏低，也会在不知不觉中提升词汇量。背单词的过程无疑是枯燥乏味的，因此也更需要考生持之以恒的精神。

提升GRE考试词汇量需纠正2个错误认识

对于GRE考试词汇要求的错误理解和认识也会影响到考生的词汇量提升，下面这两种常见错误看法大家一定要及时纠正，否则会影响到词汇量的提升：

GRE词汇错误认识1：词汇量不够也能取得理想成绩

词汇是GRE考试的基础，而已英语作为载体的GRE考试，在整个考试的各类题型中都需要大量运用英语词汇，数学有专业词汇，写作需要用到写作词汇，语文部分更是着重于对各类词汇的理解和运用。没有足够的词汇量，考生别说做题，甚至可能连读懂理解题目都会出现很大的困难。因此，词汇量充足与否，往往会和GRE成绩直接挂钩。

GRE词汇错误认识2：背的单词越难越好

GRE阅读考试文章中确实有许多难度较大的单词，但是作为考试，出题者一般太刁钻，大多数情况下，回答问题所涉及到的都是一些常见的、考生应该知道的名词、形容词、动词和副词等，过于专业和过于高深的词汇一般是不会出现或不会成为解题的障碍的。这一原则正是为了体现GRE标准化考试的公平公正性，不会因为考生的专业背景不同在考试中出现影响。因此，过度追求偏专业的冷门生僻难词，其实并没有必要。

GRE词汇记忆需要重视循环记忆

背诵GRE词汇是一个非常繁重的任务，它需要大量的精力。如果不制定一个周密的计划，很多考生将很难坚持。所以这一步是非常有必要的。一般来说，考前一定将单词手册背诵3遍，第一遍仔细学习，第二遍进行巩固，第三遍查漏补缺加深印象。这样所起到的效果要比只背一遍好得多。

总而言之，GRE考试词汇量的提升不仅需要掌握实用的记忆方法和技巧，同时考生自己也需要对GRE考试的词汇考察要求有清晰明确的认识，两者结合才能让大家更有效率地提升词汇量，为GRE考试打好词汇基础。

大家都知道，简单的东西比复杂的东西容易记。而GRE词汇中，有不少拼写和意思都比较复杂的难词。考生面对这些词汇，与其强行记忆硬塞进脑子里，还不如想出一些简化的方法，化难为易，这样更加便于记忆。

用好flashcard提升词汇量

相信很多考生都听说过卡片法，肯定也有一部分考生从中获益匪浅。卡片记忆法最大的好处就是考生随时随地都能记忆词汇，充分利用自己的零碎时间，攻克GRE词汇指日可待。

劳逸结合缓解记忆压力

如果我们静止地坐在那里背诵GRE词汇，长期不动，不仅我们的身体容易产生疲倦感，而且我们的大脑也会疲劳，考生记忆效果也会受到一定的影响。所以考生可以进行适当的运动，打打球，跑跑步，让自己的大脑充满活力，在这个过程中回忆自己刚才所记忆的词汇。那么这种方法一方面让考生的词汇记忆更加的牢固，另一方面也增强了考生的体魄，正可谓是一石二鸟。

经常挑战自我寻求词汇突破

考生在背诵GRE的过程容易产生厌倦感，这是就需要换一种新鲜的方法去记忆，考生可以将自己的已经背诵过的单词默写一遍，这样会帮助自己平复心情，而且能够适时地检查自己的背诵成果。通过自我检测法，考生可以自如的调节自己的记忆速度，同时放松自己紧张的情绪，让考生在轻松的氛围中，确切的了解自己的记忆情况。同时，考生还可以将卡片的便捷性和自我检测的趣味性相结合，进一步增加背单词的乐趣。

GRE词汇记忆方法：新构词法

什么是GRE词汇的新构词法?GRE考试词汇记忆之新构词法：利用词根词缀进行记忆的方法就叫构词法.也可以把构词法看作是一种特殊的拆字法.构词法的关键是词根,如果词根是熟悉的或记住了,构词法是很有效的一种助记法;如果词根不熟或没有记住,那么构词法非但是无效的,而且成倍增加了记忆的负担,走向了助记法的方面.

下面给出的利用构词法进行记忆的每一个实例中都有关于词根的速记法, 希望可以帮助考生在GRE考试备考中攻克GRE词汇量。

arson n.纵火记法 : arson→ars(火)+on→纵火;ars→Mars(火星)→虽然中文的“火星”和英文的火星(Mars)里都有一个“火”字,其实火星上根本就没有火;参考词: arsonist(n.纵火犯),reason(n.原因)

deify v.奉为神.记法 : deify→dei(神)+fy(使...)→使成为神;dei→die(死)→神是不会死的;参考词: deity(n.神性)

cracy→crazy(疯狂的)→疯狂的统治;参考词: gynaecology(a.妇科医学)

gynaecocracy n.妇女当政;记法 : gynaecocracy→gynaeco(妇女,女人)+cracy(统治)→妇女当政

篇5：GRE备考提升词汇量记忆技巧

GRE备考提升词汇量实用记忆技巧

按照词义联想记忆词汇

刚开始时可能能建立的联系很少，但要注意培养这种意识，争取一串串地背单词，看见一个，就能想起一串。比如，同义的单词一块儿记，反义的、形似的、分类的、词根的，背GRE词汇一段时间之后，就应该看到该单词，想一想以前学过什么同义的，如果只有印象而想不起来，最好在一个笔记本上记一笔，下次碰到该单词时，特别注意。比如，背GRE词汇一段时间后，应该问自己：我一共学了多少关于衣服的词?如果你只记得中文意思，想不起英文，下次就要特别注意了。或者你看到holograph的时候是否能想起homograph?虽然有些书给你整理了一些联系，可是难道你不觉得自己总结的才会印象最深吗?

GRE词汇之间建立联系后，不拿书本的时候你也能利用这些联系不断地想GRE高频词汇。当某一个单词记不起来时，就要注意了。不妨看后面的单词时，就不断地想前面学过的单词，中有哪些类似的，或意思相反的，把有联系的单词的页数写在单词旁，每当看到这个单词时，总想起和它有关的单词，想不起时再根据页数翻看。如果有印象而想不起来，就在笔记本上记一笔，下次补上。

充分运用各种碎片时间记单词

GRE考生要擅于利用空余时间记GRE词汇。生活中，我们大量零散的时间都在无形之中浪费了，使用零散时间背诵GRE词汇也是不错的选择，比如等公车，等人，睡前几分钟等，每天背十来个，不知不觉词汇量就提高很多。脑子不断地想GRE高频词汇，背GRE词汇要背得好，要背得快，最基本的原则是脑子不断地想单词，让单词不断地从脑子里过，看书看10遍，还不如脑子过一遍。要做到单词在脑子里过的次数比在书本上过的次数多得多，要做到完全抛开书本，不依赖书本，不拿书的时候也在想单词、背单词。

要尽量在单词被忘记之前在脑子里过一遍，这样，它留给你的印象要深得多，就算以后忘记，也很容易记起来背GRE词汇时不要在一个单词上花的时间太多，根本不用超过一分钟，像扫描般一掠而过。只是重复的次数要多，特别在脑子里重复的次数要比在书本上重复的次数多得多。其他方法还有听音频，背单词软件等等。不时翻一翻别的单词书也挺有用，因为有新鲜感。
