雅思阅读高频"熟词生义" · Familiar Words, Unfamiliar Meanings

你认识 account,却想不起它有"描述、叙述"的意思——这就是雅思阅读的经典陷阱。本专题收录阅读中出现频率最高的"第二面孔"词汇,按动词、名词、形容词分类,附语境练习与答案。


为什么雅思爱考"熟词生义"?

雅思阅读的选材来自学术期刊(Scientific American、New Scientist、The Economist 等),这些文本大量使用常用词的非常用义。你以为读懂了每个单词,却整句理解偏差——尤其在"作者观点题""词义猜测题"里,考的就是这些"第二面孔"。

开篇案例(就是它)

The article gives a detailed account of the expedition to the South Pole. 这篇文章对南极探险作了详细的叙述

account 的常见义是"账户",但在阅读里更常考:

  • n. 描述、叙述:a first-hand account(第一手描述)
  • account for = 解释、说明:How do you account for the rise in prices?
  • account for = 占(比例):Agriculture accounts for 30% of GDP.
