在备考AEIS考试中，考生不仅需要拥有更足够丰富的词汇量，同样也需要具备应对陌生词汇也能顺利解答词汇题的能力和技巧。词汇题虽然看似简单，只要认识词汇就能顺利做答，但反过来如果考生不认识词汇，那么解题难度就会直线上升。
寻找和熟悉词汇的关系
The assessment of past rises and falls in sea level requires study of submerged land surfaces off the coast and of elevated beaches on land. Raised beaches are remnants of former coastlines at higher levels relative to the present shoreline and visible, for instance, along the California coast north of San Francisco, the height of a raised beach above the present shoreline, however, does not generally give a straightforward indication of the height of a former sea level.
The word "remnants" in the passage is closest inmeaningto
A. remains
B. regions
C. pints
D. origins
应对阅读词汇题看不懂词汇的问题，最主要或者说实用的技巧就是结合文章和题目以及选项中的其它考生熟悉的词汇来进行逻辑推理和分析判断，以便推测出生词的含义。
以上面这道题目为例，考生如果不认识remnants这个词，解题可能就无法进行下去了。那么我们不妨来找一下大家应该会相对更熟悉一些的词汇，原文中距离remnants最近的一个熟词是former，这个词代表了过去，在for instance之后的例子中也再次出现了。
然后再看看选项，其中和过去关系最大的应该就是remains了，毕竟想到过去就联想到遗留，残留之类的意思是比较符合逻辑思维的，那么remnants的意思应该也就是remains，这道题的正确答案就是A。
从上下文中找线索
At night, the solar energy (stored as vast quantities of heat in city buildings and roads) is slowly released into the city air. Additional city heat is given off at night (and during the day) by vehicles and factories, as well as by industrial and domestic heating and cooling units. The release of heat energy is retarded by the tallverticalcity walls that do not allow infrared radiation to escape as readily as does the relatively level surface of the surrounding countryside. The slow release of heat tends to keep nighttime city temperatures higher than those of the faster-cooling rural areas.
The word "retarded" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. disguised
B. added to
C. made possible
D. slowed down
应对AEIS阅读词汇题中陌生词汇的第二个技巧是从生词本身所在的上下文中寻找线索来进行突破。以上面这道题为例，retarded出现在这个句子里：
The release of heat energy is retarded by the tall vertical city walls that do not allow infrared radiation to escape as readily as does the relatively level surface of the surrounding countryside.
很显然这是个大家比较头疼的长难句，先来简化一下，变成：
The tall vertical city walls are doing something to the heat energy because they do not allow infrared radiation to escape.
总而言之就是city wall对heat energy做了点什么以防止radiation escape。
这个句子里比较有意思的就是do not allow，现在再回头去看题目选项给出的这些词汇，added to和made possible显然在意思上都是和not allowed有冲突的，可以先排除掉，剩下的diguised不好判断，heat energy能不能被disguised不好说，但放在这里显然意思上不太搭，跟整个句子关系不大。
这样一来选项D显然看上去就顺眼多了，不让infrared radiation逃脱所以要slow down一下heat energyd的释放也是比较符合逻辑关系的。正确答案也的确就是D。
词性判断排除法
Several dinosaur fossil localities preserve coprolites. Coprolites yield unequivocalevidenceabout the dietary habits of dinosaurs. Many parts of plants and animals are extremely resistant to the digestive systems of animals and passcompletely through the body with little or no alteration. Study of coprolites has indicated that the diets of some herbivorous dinosaurs were relatively diverse, while other dinosaurs appear to have been specialists, feeding on particular types of plants. The problem with inferring diets from coprolites is the difficulty in accurately associating a particular coprolite with a specific dinosaur.
The word "unequivocal" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. deniable
B. unambiguous
C. unclear
D. largely
最后一种应对词汇题生词的技巧其原理来自于做选择题时比较经典的排除法思路。
而应用到词汇题上，比较容易切入的一个排除点就在于词汇本身的词性了。来看上面这道例题，选项的4个词汇里有一个明显画风不一样词性不对路的词，就是选项D的largely，妥妥的副词。而uneuivocal本身很明显是一个形容词。所以选项D就可以先行排除掉了。
之后再看剩下的3个选项，deniable和unclear意思是比较相近的，都有不确定的含义在里面，而unambiguous的意思则正好相反，是毫不含糊，明确。那么正确选项应该就是B了。
