有不少托?？忌鷳?yīng)該都在被這些問題困擾著：

為什么我單詞沒少背，實(shí)際在做托福閱讀的時(shí)候還是讀不懂文章呢？

句子中明明沒出現(xiàn)難詞、專有名詞，還是不能理解句子意思？

確實(shí)，托?？荚?/a>中總會(huì)遇到一些詞，它們非常常見、簡(jiǎn)單，但放到句子中卻不能直接套用常見詞意，結(jié)合上下文，了解一詞多意才能正確理解文章意思。

小編從TPO中為大家總結(jié)了這些一詞多意的托福詞匯，同學(xué)們可以收藏后反復(fù)學(xué)習(xí)鞏固。

01

suggest

在托福里，真的很少見到“建議”這種說法，倒是往往與下結(jié)論有關(guān)，可理解為“表明”。

Timberline trees are normally evergreens,suggesting that these have some advantage over deciduous trees(those that lose their leaves)in the extreme environments of the upper timberline.

(TPO1 Timberline Vegetation on Mountains)

02

complex

這個(gè)詞還有“建筑群”的意思，但很多考生會(huì)誤解為“復(fù)雜”。

It had over 2,000 apartment complexes,a great market,a large number of industrial workshops,an administrative center,a number of massive religious edifices…

(TPO8 The Rise of Teotihuacán)

03

largely

有多少人看到后第一反應(yīng)是“大”，需要結(jié)合上下文后理解為“在很大程度上”。

The distinctive look of ancient Egyptian sculpture was determined largely by its function.

(TPO11 Ancient Egyptian Sculpture)

04

game

大部分托福初學(xué)者都會(huì)忽略這個(gè)詞還有“野生獵物”的意思，所以非常容易誤解句意。

They had experienced great difficulty finding game west of the Rockies and not until the second of December did they kill their first elk.

(TPO4 Deer Populations of the Puget Sound)

05

evenly

這個(gè)詞和“甚至”毫無關(guān)系，因?yàn)?ldquo;甚至”對(duì)應(yīng)的“even”本來就是個(gè)副詞，不能再加“-ly”了，evenly在托福閱讀里有“均勻地”意思。

Petroleum forms best when organic matter is evenly distributed over...

(TPO43 The Origin of Petroleum)

06

in turn

字典里的意思是“反過來”,實(shí)際上結(jié)合上下文也可以理解為“接著會(huì)…（發(fā)生）…”

The conventional theory is that people yawn when bored or sleepy because yawning raises blood oxygen levels,which in turn raises alertness.

(TPO18 The mystery of yawning)

07

readily

很多時(shí)候考察的是“容易地”意思，并非和“準(zhǔn)備”有關(guān)。

The release of heat energy is retarded by the tall vertical city walls that do not allow infrared radiation to escape as readily asdoes the relatively level surface of the surrounding countryside.

(TPO48 Climate and Urban Development)

08

mine

mine還有“礦”的意思，這個(gè)一定要記清楚哦。

This scenario begins with the planting of hyperaccumulating species in the target area,such as an abandoned mine or an irrigation pond contaminated by run off.

(TPO5 Plants and Minerals)

09

considerable

單詞書里常見的“值得考慮的”這個(gè)意思，在托福考試中很少考到，反而“相當(dāng)大的”、“相當(dāng)多的”考察的次數(shù)更多。

The existence of competition has been long known to naturalists;its effects were described by Darwin in considerable detail.

(TPO29 Competition)

10

impact

除了“影響”外，“沖擊、撞擊”的詞意也要一起掌握。

In view of these facts,scientists hypothesized that a single large asteroid,about 10 to 15 kilometers across,collided with Earth,and the resulting fallout created the boundary clay.Their calculations show that the impact kicked up a dust cloud that cut off sunlight for several months,inhibiting photosynthesis in plants;decreased surface temperatures on continents to below freezing…

(TPO8 Dinosaur Extinctions)

11

critical

如果你硬背詞匯書，恐怕并太清楚這個(gè)詞還有“重要的”這個(gè)釋義，在考試中也是挺常見的。

First,primary groups are critical to the socialization process.Within them,infants and children are introduced to the ways of their society.

(TPO13 Types of Social Groups)

12

suggest

大部分考生都會(huì)掌握“邊緣”這個(gè)意思，“（微弱的）優(yōu)勢(shì)”這個(gè)詞意不太多見，但也建議要了解一下。

It seems likely that Teotihuacán’s natural resources,along with the city elite’s ability to recognize their potential,gave the city a competitive edge over its neighbors.Thevalley,like many other places in Mexican and Guatemalan highlands,was rich in obsidian.

(TPO8 The Rise of Teotihuacán)

13

collectively

不能直接翻譯為“收集地”，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)詞還有“共同地”這個(gè)釋義，考試中也是比較常見的，一定要結(jié)合上下文進(jìn)行理解。

Eventually,six round forms of handwriting,composed of three pairs of big and little scripts known collectively as the Six Pens,became the standard repertory of every calligrapher.

(TPO34 Islamic Art and the Book)
