英语四级阅读判断词汇应试技巧

perfectionist本义是"完美主义者"，似乎与[A]和[D]更接近，但本文主旨，甚至通过本段也可知，作者反对对细节过分注意，结果反倒牺牲了大局。而perfectionist正是作者批评的那类人，因而选项应是符合作者批判态度的，因此[C]是正确的。

通过连接词关系如and，or等判断被考词汇含义。一般来说，and与连接的两项内容在义上是接近的或递进的，而以or连接的两项内容在含义上往往相反，但有时or后面的内容，也是对前面内容的进一步解释和说明。当然其他表递进、转折、因果等关系的信号词均可用来帮助判断词义。
例题：CET6 1999年6月第18题

Q:The word "tunnel visioned" (Line 2,Para.4) most probably means____.

选项[A]"眼界狭窄的"和选项[C]"目光短浅的"与"tunnel visioned"含义相近，所以许多考生都误选了[A]或[C]。
