看清題型后尋求解決方法--閱讀上下文，找到關系常考的關系如下：
1) 直接反義—該詞前或后出現的內容提示我們是反義關系。從中文看邏輯會看的更清楚，我們先舉個中文的例子：麗麗是個---人，相反她是一個內向的人。從后面的內向可以推出前面應該是個外向之類的詞。所以我們要關注的是 rather than instead unlike contrast on the contrary.
For example: The main conflict in the novel is between a mother who places a high value on hard work and honor and a son who repudiates his mother’s values instead preferring the easier path to fortune and celebrity
問題： the word repudiates in the passage in closest in meaning to __
A) refuses to accept B) lives up to C) tries to understand D) makes the best of
假如repudiates我們不認識，當然一定會有同學說不用假如，我就是不認識。不認識剛好，我們可以從后面的小詞 instead這個詞判定兒子和媽媽的價值觀念是相反的，由此信息看四個選項，你會發現只有A選項帶有否定的意味
2) 利用并列關系去判定：
并列關系詞如下：and not only ..but also as…as and both … and either… or neither… nor
我們先舉個中文例子看看：
麗麗和俞敏洪老師跳舞就好比美女與__跳舞。答案一定是正面的而不象少數同學內心比較陰暗認為答案是野獸.正確答案是帥哥.
For example:She embarked on her career by working as a newspaper reporter in Wisconsin and soon began writing novels.
問題: The phrase embarked on in this sentence is closest in meaning to
A) took a trip to B) started out on C) improved upon D) had a opinion about
我們可以從前后關系判定,首先我們看到一個詞career職業生涯—care(關心)+er(人)—關心這件事情的人,從事這個職業.我們在這句中看到關健詞 and 其后出現soon began告訴我們前后方向是一致的，前面也必然和began有關，所以本題目的正解是B。
3)解釋關系:后面的句子或短詞,單詞來解釋前面的詞常見的標志詞:contribute to be responsible for account for since therefore for because in which
舉個中文例子：麗麗老師昨天扶一下盲人過馬路，所以麗麗是一個___人，答案一定是個正態度，是一個樂于助人的人，不會是選一個損人不利已的人因為人家盲人不想過馬路，被麗麗老師給硬拉過去了。這種情況是特例，TOEFL中考的都是正常情況。
For example:His big break came with the novel So big(1924) ,which was awarded the Pulitzer in literature.
問題： the word break in this sentence could best be replaced by ___
A) rupture B) revelation C) opportunity D) rest
which was awarded the Pulitzer in Literature告訴我們一定考查的是正態度，所以答案不可能是A) D)，所以應該選 C)Opportunity 是一種有利的狀態或合適的時機。
4)動賓關系判定：看看賓語能否受動詞去配，或從動詞短語搭配去判定
舉個中文例子：比如有一個壞人準備選了一個月圓之夜，主樓之巔，自由落體，絕跡人間，走到樓頂，——下去。A)殺 B)侃 C)跳 D)跑。能和下去搭配的詞只有兩個一個C)跳 D)跑,從前面的提示可以看出，不可能在樓頂跑下去，除非不跳了，但必須是跑回去。
For example: The oxidation of exhaust gases is one of primary sources of the world’s pollutions. The brown haze that is poised over some of the world’s largest cities is properly called photochemical smog.
The word poised in this sentence is closest in meaning to__
A) interacting B) sitting C) blowing D) poisoning
首先從搭配關系上可以排除 interacting ,interact with 然后可以從上下文關系排除 blowing over 因為吹走了就是不會有smog.而poison考試中及物才有pollute的含義，不及物只有一種含義表示投毒。
5)形容詞修飾名詞關系判定—不是每個形容詞都可以修飾所有的名詞。例如打飯的隊伍不說很粗而要說很長，盡管事實上很多人不排隊造成了很粗的感覺。
For example:when the gas reaches the air, it comes into contact with available oxygen from atmosphere and combines with the oxygen to produce nitrogen dioxide (No2),which is a gas with a brownish hue.
The word hue in this sentence is closest in meaning to
A)color B)odor C)thickness D)smoke
對于本題你會發現有個小詞brownish 呈褐色的，首先從形容詞修飾名詞關系可以直接排除B odor C thickness， 其次可以通過 a gas with brownish hue前面的 gas 排除 D smoke，用詞重復。所以正確答案是A。
