Features: To strengthen the guidance for non-English major candidates preparing for the 2006 National Postgraduate Entrance Unified Examination, we have meticulously compiled this book, "Vocabulary Usage and Reference Points for the 2006 National Postgraduate Entrance Examination English Exam Syllabus," based on the 5,500 words specified in the exam syllabus, for candidates to use in advance for review.
This book highlights the following features:
1. The book provides detailed Chinese definitions and phonetic annotations for the vocabulary in the syllabus. Candidates should pay special attention to the less common meanings of familiar words. For example, the word "act" must be familiar with its meaning of "law" in addition to "action" or "behavior." If you only know these meanings, it is insufficient. The less common meaning of "late" as "deceased" has appeared in reading comprehension questions in the exam. If you lose 2 points due to not understanding this meaning, it would be a pity.
2. New vocabulary added to the syllabus last year is highlighted with a noticeable background color to help candidates memorize them more effectively.
3. Synonyms are categorized for corresponding memory, helping candidates to generalize and apply their knowledge.
4. A large number of phrases that are not included in the syllabus but are essential for the exam are listed, as unfamiliarity with phrases can directly affect performance.
5. The book includes numerous exam points from past years, including 2005, and reflects the latest trends in the postgraduate entrance exam. Since the syllabus does not provide Chinese definitions, it means that multiple meanings of words and related phrases may be involved. Therefore, candidates are required to memorize every word in the syllabus comprehensively and accurately, rather than knowing only one aspect. In light of this, the compilers, with the aim of solving candidates' practical problems, have explained the syllabus vocabulary as precisely as possible, covering the meanings that candidates should master without unnecessarily covering everything, thereby genuinely reducing their burden.
At the end, this concise and portable version also has a significant advantage: it is convenient for candidates to use their spare and fragmented time for review, helping to reinforce memory, mastery, and application.
It should be noted that compiling this book is a new attempt and needs to be continuously improved and refined based on feedback from all parties. We welcome readers to provide valuable suggestions.
