Rankin asked sixtyeight individuals to keep an accurate, detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours. He discovered that 70percent of their waking time was spent on one thing onlymunication. Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories, they discovered that, vocabulary, more than any other factor yet known, predicts financial success. New words make us better thinkers as well as municators. What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary？But how？ Hybrid (雜交產(chǎn)生的) corn bines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity. A hybrid approach to vocabulary should, in the same way, ensure maximum results. That39。s why you should use the CPD formula. Through Context. When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading, 84percent said, Look it up in the dictionary. If you do, however, you shortcircuit the very mental processes needed to make your efforts most productive. But there39。s another reason. Suppose someone asks you what the word fast means. You answer, speedy or swift. But does it mean that in such context as fast color or fast friend？And if a horse is fast, is it securely tied or galloping at top speed？It could be either. It all depends. On the dictionary？No, on the context. After all, there are over twenty different meanings for fast in the dictionary. But the dictionary doesn39。t tell you which meaning is intended. That39。s why it makes such good sense to begin with context. Through Word Parts. Now for the next step. Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts, which, if recognized, provide definite help with meaning. Take the word monolithic for example. Try to separate the parts. There is the prefix mono, meaning one, and the rootlith, meaning stone. Finally, there39。s the suffixic, meaning consisting of. Those three parts add up to this definition：consisting of one stone. To speed up your use of word parts, you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language. The prefix and root elements in those few words are found in over 14, 000words. With those amazingly useful shortcuts, you can build up vocabulary, not at a snail39。s pace, one word at a time, but in giant leaps, up to a thousand words at a time. Through the Dictionary. Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last, not first. You39。ve looked carefully at the context. You39。ve looked for familiar word parts. Now you play Sherlock Homes. In light of context or word parts, you try to solve a mystery. What exactly does that strange word mean? Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to e up with a tentative （不確定的） definition should you open the dictionary to see if you39。re right. You are now personally involved. Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning. It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress. And when you see in black and white the definition you had expected, what a feeling of acplishment is yours. In that way, the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness. Well, there it is, your new formulaContext, Parts, Dictionary. Use it! The results will be like the money in the bank. （1）The research findings of the Human Engineering Laboratories show that ______ . and vocabularies are closely related and vocabularies are closely related of large vocabularies are bound to succeed in the future is of great importance to a student39。s academic performance（2）What would most college students do while ing across an unfamiliar word？ ______ help from others. the meaning through context. for familiar word parts. the dictionary.（3）What does monolingual mean according to the passage？ ______ only one language. two languages. or using many languages. more than one language.（4）This passage is meant to teach readers how to ______ . the dictionary up vocabulary through context vocabulary with the help of dictionaries vocabulary by means of the CPD formula【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了通過CPD公式擴(kuò)大詞匯量的幾種方法：分析詞匯的組成部分, 增加詞匯部分的使用, 通過字典查閱詞匯的意義和用法, 真心喜歡和使用詞匯。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“they discovered that, vocabulary, more than any other factor yet known, predicts financial success”他們發(fā)現(xiàn), 詞匯, 而非其他你所知道的因素, 預(yù)測(cè)了金融方面的成功)可知人類工程實(shí)驗(yàn)室的研究結(jié)果表明：金融與詞匯密切相關(guān)， 故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading, 84percent said, Look it up in the dictionary”當(dāng)大學(xué)生被問到閱讀遇到生詞該怎么辦時(shí), 84%的人都說去查字典，可知當(dāng)遇到一個(gè)不熟悉的單詞時(shí), 大多數(shù)大學(xué)生會(huì)查閱字典。故選D。 （3）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第五段中的“There is the prefix mono, meaning‘one’, and the rootlith, meaning‘stone’.
