　　同义替换

　　例1 Cambridge 7 Test 1 Section1 Question3

　　Greyhound bus

　　-$15 single, $27.50 return

　　- direct to the 2.…..

　　- long 3.…..

　　原文

　　Man: Sure. Let’s see, that would be $15 one way, or 27.50 return…that’s on the Greyhound.

　　Woman: Oh, that’s quite cheap – great! But whereabouts does it stop in Milton?

　　Man: It goes directly from the airport here to the City Centre and it’s pretty fast. But you have to bear in mind that there is only one departure a day, so it depends what time your flight gets in.

　　Woman: Oh, of course. Hang on, we’re due to get there at 11.30 am.

　　Man: Hmmm, too bad, the bus leaves at 3.45, so you would have quite a wait—more than 4 hours.

　　解析

　　题目3考察long wait= quite a wait，wait n./v. 等待，等候

　　例2 Cambridge9 Test2 Section2 Question13

　　reconstruction of a 2000-year-old …. with activities for children

　　原文

　　题目考察同义替换replica=reconstruction, replica(建筑)复制品，仿制品

　　备考建议

　　考生需要掌握和积累一些高频同义替换词，可以提高答案准确性，以及提高捕捉答案的反应速度。

　　答案前置

　　例1 Cambridge6 Test2 Section2 Question14

　　解析

　　题目考察名词短语互置arrangements for security= security arrangements

　　备考建议

　　考生在听题时，应把集中点放到听力内容上，而不是把注意力放在等空前空后的某个词的出现，考生需要转变做题的思维方式才能避免前置跟丢答案的情况。

　　生僻难词

　　例1 Cambridge5 Test3 Section4 Question32

　　Recycling saves energy and reduces emissions from landfill and … .

　　原文

　　And recycling can help to achieve that goal, in two main ways: the production of recycled glass and paper uses much less energy than producing them from virgin materials, and also recycling reduces greenhouse gas emissions from landfill sites and incineration plants.

　　解析

　　该题目重点考察答案词拼写，题目考点为并列关系，可预判题目答案为地点名词。Landfill site废弃物填埋场，incinerate plant垃圾焚烧厂

　　例2 Cambridge9 Test3 Section4 Question34

　　A layer of foam was used to improve the … of the building

　　原文

　　备考建议

　　生僻难词主要在section4部分考察居多，建议考生备考阶段多积累section4部分场景词汇，此外还可以突破剑桥雅思真题录音原文中的生词，这是短期扩充词汇的有效方法，最后可以参考每次考试的听力题目回忆突破答案生僻难词。
