词语同现

完形填空技巧二

——词语的同现

词语同现是指在意义上相关联的词汇有可能共同出现在同一语 篇中，构成以某一话题

为中心的词汇链，也有人称之为语义场

如：若是一篇以学校生活为话题的文章，像

teacher, student, classmate, monitor, book,

classroom, dormitory, canteen, lab, desk, teaching building

等意义与

school life

语就有可能同时出现在这篇文章中。

除了这种

“

语义相关联

”

词语可能同时出现外，还有

“

反义关联

”

的词也有可能同时出现在

一个语篇中。如一篇以学习方法为主题的文章，作者谈到

“

男生

”

应如何学习，接下来就有

可能谈到< /p>

“

女生

”

应如何 学习。又如在谈到某人几点

“

”< /p>

了教室，就有可能会谈到他什么

时候

“< /p>

回到

”

教室。此外，还有

“

修饰相关联

”

的或

“

搭配相关联

”

的词也 有可能同时出现，如

population

可能与

large

或

small

同 现，但一般不会与

many, few
