我们初学iBT阅读时, 可能更关注一些陌生的新题型, 随着我们逐渐对方法和技巧的掌握, 整体正确率不断提高时,有一种题型日益彰显出狰狞的面目,那就是VOCABULARY QUESTION.很多同学觉得，这单词题成了iBT阅读的最后障碍.对于这个问题，一则要扩大我们的单词量，再则要加强在上下文中理解单词的意思，这是两个基本点.还有一个有效的途径，就是熟悉机经.

　　ETS总是喜欢重复考点，对于单词题就更是如此.因此我不辞劳苦地搜集了许多单词题的鸡精，铺列于下.左侧为文中单词，右侧为正确选项.一定要熟记于心，因为在考场上很有可能碰到原题

　　经常扫视，经常瞧瞧，培养感情，尤其考托前两三天一定再瞄几眼，考场上妙不可言
