一、六级考试简介 大学英语六级考试（college english test，简称cet）同四级考试一样是由国家教育部高等教育司主持的全国性教学考试；考试的主要对象是根据教育大纲修完大学英语六级的大学本科生或研究生。大学英语六级考试以《大学英语教学大纲》为基础把整个大学英语课程分为六级，每级都有定量指标加以规定。其中一至四级为必修课，五至六级为选修课。 大学英语教学大纲规定六级考试对词汇的要求是记忆5500个单词以及由这些词构成的常用词组。在研究分析六级考试历年真题后，我们将六级词汇分为重点考查词汇和应知应会词汇。重点考查词汇是历次六级考试试题中出现频率较高的词（约550六级核心高频词在www.teacherzhaoli.com可以直接下载，大家在背完高频词后，再做2005年12月份词汇题，并将将最近三年真题做熟词汇就没有问题了）和词汇考查重点（即该词在六级考试中所考查的词意），应知应会词汇指《大学英语教学大纲》中六级水平所要求，但不构成得分重点的单词。 二、六级考试词汇特征 1.六级考试词汇重考频率极高，常考词汇约为550左右，考生重点掌握这些高频词汇，那么词汇部分得分应在12分以上；如： ①it will be safer to walk the streets because people will not need to carry large amounts of cash. virtually all financial---will be conducted by computer. c 97.8 a transmissions b transitions c transactions d transformations ②he attends to ---- of important business himself. a 98.8 a transaction b transition c transmission d transformation ③there is much i enjoy about the changing seasons, but my favorite time is the ----from fall to winter. c 2000.6 a transmission b transformation c transition d transfer ④cultural ---- indicates that human beings hand their languages down from one generation to another. c 2000.12 a translation b transition c transmission d transaction 2.六级考试常考词汇多为带有词根词缀、长且所考含义较偏的单词；如： ①one of his eyes was injured in an accident, but after a ---- operation, he quickly recovered his sight. c 97.6 a precise b considerate c delicate d sensitive “delicate”在字典中有1.柔软 柔和 娇嫩2.精致优美精巧3.易碎的、脆弱的、易受伤的受损的4.易生病不强壮的5.精致的、精细的（尤指眼科手术）、需要技巧的、精心处理的6.有技巧的、得体的 7.精密的、灵敏的8.淡的、柔和的等意思，在本题中所考查的词意为“精细的” ②on weekends my grandma usually --- a glass of wine. 97.1 a subscribes to b engages in c hangs on d indulges in “indulge”在词典里有1.放纵2.容许3.满足4.享受等意思，在本题中所考查的词意为“享受—allow oneself to enjoy the pleasure of something” 3.所出的考题背景与日常生活息息相关；如： ①符合刚毕业工作学生的生活特点 (所列单词均为历年考题中的主考词) lease payment commitment compensation expire mortgage installment rough estimate occupy scrape overlap ② 热爱打猎，喜欢看球，男女生的情感纠缠 flap revenge penalty deliberately sheer integrity 41. it seems somewhat ___________ to expect anyone to drive 3 hours just for a 20-minute meeting. a) eccentric b) impossible c) absurd d) unique 【解析】选c。期望别人开三个小时的车只为了参加二十分钟会议的想法有点荒谬。 本题考察形容词辨析。eccentric“古怪的”，impossible“不可能的”，absurd“荒谬的”，unique“唯一的”。 42. this area of the park has been specially __________ for children, but accompanying adults are also welcome. a) inaugurated b) designated c) entitled d) delegated 【解析】选b。公园里的这块地方是专门为孩子们设计的，不过陪同孩子的成年人也受欢迎。本题考察动词词义辨析。inaugurate“举行就职（开幕）典礼”，designate“指定，指派”，entitle“授权，取名”，一般构成搭配：entitle sb to do sth“使某人有权利干某事”。delegate“委托……作代表”。 43. the girl’s face __________ with embarrassment during the interview when she couldn’t answer the tough question. a) beamed b) dazzled c) radiated d) flushed 【解析】选d。这个女孩在面试的时候回答不出那个困难的问题，因为尴尬她脸红了。本题考察动词词义辨析。beam“照射，露出喜色”，dazzle“使惊讶，使耀眼”，radiate“辐射”，flush“脸红”。
