使用建议与常见坑

  1. 成对刷，不单背：形近词的记忆单位是"词对"，单独背任何一个都会被另一个干扰项污染
  2. 三连考陷阱优先记：respectable/respectful/respective、ensure/insure/assure、adapt/adopt/adept 是完形最爱的三连变体，必须一次记齐三个
  3. 用搭配锚定：记不清时回到搭配（impose on / conform to / defer to），搭配对了词义自动归位
  4. 写作也要防：formal/former、personal/personnel 在写作拼写中最易失分，打字后回查一遍

自测（答不出的词对回表精记）

  1. considerable 与 considerate 分别形容什么？
  2. be subjected to 遭受；那 ensure / insure / assure 各自的搭配是什么？
  3. successive years 是"成功的年份"吗？
  4. respective 是"值得尊敬的"吗？
  5. stationary 与 stationery 哪个是"文具"？

答案与简析

  1. considerable 形容数量程度（相当大的）；considerate 形容人（体贴的）
  2. ensure + 结果；insure against + 风险；assure sb of sth 向某人保证
  3. 不是，是"连续的年份"；successful 才是成功的
  4. 不是，respective 是"各自的"；可敬的是 respectable，恭敬的是 respectful
  5. stationery（有 e，eraser 记忆锚点）是文具；stationary 是"静止的"
