新东方在线：托福听力词汇及常用短语的延伸阅读——托福词汇速记技巧

 

　　一、制定一个严格的2-3个月的背单词计划和有效的利用词汇记忆法，快速背3-5遍词汇书，对单词建立深刻的做题印象。对于要准备TOFEL或GRE考试的同学来说，背单词书是绝对不可回避的。同时对于任何水平的英语学习者来说，当拿起一本厚厚的TOFEL或GRE词汇书时，都将意味着一种挑战，都将意味着对英语学习本质性的提高一个良好开始。

　　考生一般需要花费2--3个月的时间来严格重复记忆单词。在3-5遍之后会对单词的外形与词义有一个最起码的模糊而又有印象的整体感觉。在此之后，考生可以通过题目来加深对词汇的进一步记忆和理解运用。

　　1、首先必须选择合适的词汇书，托福词汇书现在特别多，主要有俞敏洪、李笑来、张红岩、王玉梅的词汇书比较受欢迎。

新托福词汇量相较旧托福的确有所加大，你可以选其中任何一本，比如李笑来的《21天突破TOEFL核心词汇》或王玉梅的《TOEFL词汇》(最新版)，王玉梅的词汇书收录词汇应该是最大的(5000多个单词)，外加电脑软件《新东方背单词4》，这样就比较系统。如果按照每天新背一个list的进度，40天就可以背完第一遍。(但要注意不要放松对旧单词的复习，一定要科学的重复，巩固旧单词的重要性不亚于背新单词)。
