【TD网规网优部每日英语学习】博思考试非核心词汇

在BULATS阅读考试中 还会出现少量的非核心词汇，也就是指那些虽然在考试中有所涉及，但不
需要考生认知，也不影响做题的 词汇。如果在考试中遇到这类词只要略过跳过即可。如下例：
Look at the following messages and notices and choose A, B or C.

Meteorological Colloquium
Mon, 25
th
October 2004, 15:00-17:00
Organizer: Eberhard Remimer
Room 189, CIP pool Met, Berlin
Content: Guest lectures on metrological subjects. For detailed information
see special announcement.
Please note that (unless otherwise stated) all Colloquiums in this list are held
at: AAW pool Met, Berlin.

A. The Meteorological Colloquium is planned to be held at AAW pool Met, Berlin.
B. The Meteorological Colloquium has special announcements.
C. The Meteorological Colloquium is arranged by Eberhard Reimer.
可能绝大说多考生并不清楚“The Meteorological Colloquium”的意思，但对于 理解
这道题而言，这个词组的意思无关紧要，真正需要注意的只是这则通知中的时间、地点、内容和

组织者。从上文可以看出此次会议举办的地点是“Room 189, CIP pool Met, Berlin”；“Special
announcement”是用来说明研讨会安排细节的。只有C选项符合原文意思，为正确答案。

虽然并非考试中所有词汇都需要考生认知，但一些生词在做题或理解句子、文 章时却可
能成为绊脚石，因此对于考生来说，重要的是要掌握阅读技巧，并且具备根据上下文猜测单词意
思的能力。在猜测词义时，有几种常用的方式：
1、根据构词法猜测
词缀，如“in-”、“un-”, “a-”等表示否定；“de-”表示“去除，非?化”。请根据 词缀猜
测下面单词的意思，然后查看解释。
Incalculable: 不可计算的，引申为“不计其数的” de- link：去墨，引申
为“漂白” Maltreat: 虐待；词缀“mal-”表示“不好的，
坏的”
superfast:
的
Monoatomic: 单原子的；词缀“mono-”表示“单一的”

词根，如“aerar”表示“空气、大气 ”；“form”表示“形”；“rupt”表示“破坏，毁坏”；
“semblsimil”表示“相似，类似”。请根据词根猜测下面单词的意思，然后查看解释。
Aerial: 空气的
超高速的
Preact: 提前行动； anticolonial: 反殖民
formula: 公式 Bankrupt:
破产 assimilate: 同化
Evacuate: 清空、撤离；“vacvan”表示“空” antonym: 反
义词；“onym”表示“名字” Abridge: 删节、词根“brevbribrief”



2、根据提示词猜测
在有“or, and, but”这种表示平行或者转折关系的连接词 的句子中，在连接词前后出现的
词通常具有意思相同或者相反的关系。如下例：
Her sister was always at ease with everyone she met; Minette, however, was quite
gauche in social situation.
“However”和“but”一样，都表示对前面陈述内容的转折和对比 ，因此“gauche”必定
与“at ease”的意思相反。“gauche”的意思是“在社交场合无风度、粗鲁”。

And, apparently, he was the second chief of the tribe and was very sociable and
gregarious, unlike some of the other’s solitary of habit.
首先应该根据“gregarious”前面的“and”来判断它的意思。“sociable”意思为“好交
际的、喜群居的”，而“and”说明“gregarious”意思与“sociable”相同，而 根据“unlike”

表示 前后意思相反，可以判断“solitary”应表示“孤独的、不好交际的”。

3、根据词语常用搭配关系猜测。
This printed request was addressed to the Classical Committee and urged
them to convoke a special meeting.
上句可以译为：印制出的请愿书已提交给长老监督会，敦促他们尽快召开一个特别会议。
可见 “convoke”应表示“召开（会议）”的意思。

Automobile makes no longer manufacture cheap models, and developers do not
build the tiny bungalows that served the first postwar generation of home buyers.
句意为：汽车生产商不再生产便宜的车型，房地产开发商也不再建造曾销售给战后第 一代
买房人的小型“bungalows”。可见“bungalows”应该是一种房子，意思为“平 房，小屋”



4、其他方式
还可通过解释说明的内容判断单 词意思，比如同位语，定语，举例、甚至是括号和破折号
后的内容等。


Homeshoring means that call center might be in someone’s bedroom.
“Homeshoring”这个单词在很多英文词典上都找 不到，但根据其后面表示解释的词组
“means that”，我们可以大致判定“Homeshor ing”的意思应该为：把呼叫中心设置在员工的
家中。
They proposed a program of positive and negative eugenics-the science of
improving the qualities of the human race-as a solution.
这句话中用两个破折号插入了“eugen ics”的解释，即“提高人种质量的一种科学”，也
就是优生学。这句话的意思是：他们提出了正反两 种优生学作为解决方法（方法一：挑选父母，
方 法二：强迫种族隔离）。

【TD网规网优部每日英语学习】博思考试媒体常用短
语

BULATS阅读考试Part ⅠSection 3, PartⅡSection 5两篇长文 章题材皆为媒体英语，所以在
其中还会出现某些具有特殊含义的媒体英语常用词组。请注意句子中划线词 组的意思：

One simple does not drop in out of the blue and demand an audience with a famous
opera star—especially if the opera star is Maria Callas.
“Out of the blue”在英美报刊杂志中可以说比比皆是 ，它的意思是“突然，毫无防备”。句意
为：一般人是不会不预先通知就突然去拜访别人的，更不会突然 就要求见以为著名的歌剧明星—
—尤其是当这个明星是Maria Callas时。

After two years of humbling bosses in the wake of scandals at such companies as
Enron and WorldCom, and the introduction of a raft of new measures to make sure such
excesses do not happen again, is corporate America making a comeback?
“in the wake of”这个词组在媒体类文章中十分常见，意思是“ 跟随的、紧跟着的”。句意为：
在Enron和Worlcom等丑闻之后，美国公司已经历了两年抬不 起头的经营，随着业内不断采用各
种避免类似丑闻再次发生的办法，他们真的能够再次恢复元气么？

A variant of the don’t-care approach is not to dismiss public opinion as unimportant,
but to point out that when push comes to shove, the right decision usually prevails.
“when push comes to shove”或“if it comes to the push”的意思是“当局势不利或必须采取
行动时”。句意：这是一种类似“不予理睬”的方式，它并 非认为大众的观点不重要，而是在强
调当局势不利时，正确的决定自然会主导地位。

In Britain this summer, Oxford took a deep breath, held its nose, and decided after
much prevarication to accept an endowment from a Saudi millionaire to establish a
business school, of all things.
“of all things”意思是“竟然”。句意：今夏，英国牛津大 学竟然深吸一口气，捂住鼻子，扭
扭捏捏接受了一位沙特富翁的一笔捐助，并将以此来建立一所商业管理 学院。

Members of Congress, in his view, were equally helpless and hopeless, and could not
be counted upon to ferret out the truth.
“ferret out”这个词组的意思是“搜查出，找出”。句意：在他看来，国会成员都是一样的 无能
和不可救药的，根本不能指望他们来找出事实的真相。

由此可 见，媒体英语中一些词组的意思往往独特而生僻，却常会反反复复地出现，所以平时一定
要多多积累。

商务英语常用缩略语
在BULATS考试中，每个“section”都可能出现 缩略语，这些缩略语在商务英语领域中也是十
分常见的。如“Ltd.”是“limited”的缩写； “EMS”是“Express Mail Service”的缩写；CV
是“Curriculum Vitae”的缩写等等。此外，还会出现一些大家不熟悉的缩略语：

The game group plc. is Europe’s leading specialist retailer of computer software and
video games.
“plc.”是“Public Limited Company”的缩写形式，意为“股份上市公司 ”。句意：这家游戏
公司是欧洲电脑软件及电视游戏最主要的零售商之一。

A MNC or TNC has offices, factories or branch plants in different countries.
“MNC”即“multinational corporation”；“TNC”即“transnational corporation”,都是跨 国
公司的缩写。句意：跨国公司在不同的国家设立有办公室、厂房、或分部。

There is a ＄3.50 service charge for COD.
“COD”是“cash on delivery”的缩写，表示“货到付款”。句意：货到付款要收取3.5美元的
服务费。

DATE: 9th of July 1998
Time: Around 22:00 UT
“UT”是“universal time”的缩写，表示“世界时间”或“格林威治”时间。

类似这样的缩略语还有很多，平时应注意积累。
【TD网规网优部每日英语学习】博思考试生活常用短
语

BULATS阅读考试Part ⅠSection 2, PartⅡSection 4中还会涉及一些生活中的常见词组和固
定表达。首先我们来看一些动词词组的例子：

Choose the word or phrase which best completes each sentence.
1、She will have to ____her illegal behavior one day.
A. answer to B. answer for C. answer back
D. answer about
这道题中有四个与“answer”相关的词组。Answer to somebodysomething: 为?辩解；
Answer for somebody: 代替?作决定； answer for something: 承担后果、责任； answer
somebody back: 以语言顶撞；不存在“answer about”这一词组。所以答案为：B。句意为：
她终将有一天会为她的罪行承担后果。

2、The corporation may never ______after the incalculable loss.
A. get over B. get away C. get off
D. get across
“Get over”意为“痊愈、恢复”；“Get away”意为逃跑；“Get off”意为“（使）不受惩
罚”，常与“with”连用；“get across”意为“使?明白”及“穿越”。因此答案为A。句意
为这个公司在巨大损失之后再也无法 恢复过来。

3、Whenever possible, the executive _____how well the speaks Spanish.
A. shows up B. shows around C. shows off D. shows out
“Show up”意思是露面；“show somebody around somethingsomewhere”意为带某人参观
某处；“show off”为“炫耀，展示（能力、技巧）”；“show somebody out”是送出（客人）。
答案为C。句意是：只要有可能，这个经理总会炫耀他的西班牙语。

介词词组也同样是必不可少的，请看下面的例子：
1、He set up in business ____his own and was vey successful.
A. in B. of C. on D. by
“On one’s own”是个常用的介词词组，意为“独自”；“of one’s own”指的是某人自己
的（东西），句意为：他独自一人开始经商，并且做的很成功。答案是C。

2、Since the CFO can’t come to the reference, I will represent the company________.
A. on his account B. on his behalf C. for his part D. in his interest
选项中只有“on one’s behalf”是固定的搭配，意为“代表某人”。句意是：因为财务 主管不
能到会，所以我将代表他出席。答案是B。

3、He asked me to lend him some money, which I agreed to do, _____that he paid me

back the following week.
A. on occasion B. large C. ease D. best
On occasion: 有时，有必要；on purpose：故意的； 欧诺condition：以?为条件；only if： 除
非。句意为：我同意借钱给他，除非他下周就能还我。C、D两个选项都说得通。但由于在空格
之后出现了“that”,而“on condition that”是常用固定表达，“only if”后则应直接加完整句子，
不能跟“that”,所以答案是C。


【TD网规网优部每日英语学习】博思考试语法---冠词


英语中，冠词分为定冠词（the definite articles）和不定冠词(the indefinite articles)。定冠词即
“the”，在BULATS考试中被考查到的 频率最高，用来对中心词进行限定，表示特指那一个；
不定冠词即“aan”前者用在以辅音开头的词前 ，后者用在元音开头的词前，并不具有限定的作
用。
在一个句子中使用定冠词和不定冠词并没有绝对的对错之分，需要结合上下文来确定。

Exercise 1: Indefinite Article
Complete the sentences by using a or an.
1. BULATS, the Business Language Testing Service is (1) language assessment
service. By testing (2) number of linguistic skills, BULATS produces (3) accurate
language profile of candidates.
2. They study at (4) university in the city centre. However, they rent (5) apartment in
suburb. It is (6) one-bedroom apart-ment which is of (7) European building style. It
takes about (8) hour to get to the university.

答案：1. a 2.a 3. an 4. a 5. an 6. a 7. a; 8. an.

一般来说，不定冠词有三种用法：
第一， 不定冠词可以用来表示“一”这个数量，在这种情况下，它和“one”的意思相同。例
如在第八题中，“an hour”就是1小时，与“one hour”的意思完全一样。
第二， 不定冠词可以用来表示某个特定指代的对象，即“某一个”的概念。虽然具体指哪个
人或者事物在句子中 并不能直接看出来，但从意思的角度分析， 却是指某人、某事或某物。例
如在第四题中，虽然我们并 不知道他们所在大学的名字，但句中并不是任何一所大学，而是有特
指的，是他们就读的市中心的某一所 大学。
第三， 表示类别。不定冠词可以表示某人或者某种事物属于某一个类别。这种用法多用在做< br>表语或同位语的名词之前。例如在第六题中，“a one-bedroom apartment”说明了他们住的是
有一间卧室的那种公寓。

Exercise 2: Definite Article

(1) Sydney Opera House is not only (2) most well-known Australian building in (3)
world but perhaps one of (4) most famous design of any modern building anywhere.
Its distinctive and (5) highly original shape has been likened to (6) everything from (7)
sails of (8) sailing ship to (9) broken eggshells. However, as (10) symbol of (11)
Australia, it was designed not by (12) Australian but by (13) celebrated Danish
architect, Jorn Utzon, whose design won (14) international competition in (15) late
1950s.

答案：1. The; 2. the; 4. the; 5.; 6.; 7. the; 8. a; 9.; 10. the; 11.
; 13. a; 15. the.

定冠词的使用大致可分为三类：
第一， 表 示世界上独一无二的东西。例如第三题中，“world”之前要加“the”。值得注意的
是，人名、 地名、国家名称也是专有名词，但是却不需要在其前使用定冠词。例如第十一题，
“Australia ”之前就不需要加“the”。
第二， 表示特定指代。这也是定冠词最基本、最常见的用法。例如第十三题中，“the symbol
of Australia”指代的就是“悉尼歌剧院（the Sydney Opera House）”
第三， 定冠词也可以加在单数名词或形容词前表示类别，例如：The mango is a tropical fruit.
