相较于上一单元的四选一词汇题，大家会发现这次的五选一词汇题里的每一个词汇似乎都考在了你的知识盲点上（当然，上一篇可能也是同样的情况）。但是大家有没有一种感觉就是，同样是单词不认识，但是阅读本节的五道小题似乎没有那么“费劲”？换言之，就是你会发现本节的五道题，即便词汇缺失的情况下，并不十分妨碍你对整个句子的理解。但是上一节的四选一词汇题，即便句子要简短得多，但是你发现少了那个关键词汇，你似乎并不能了解作者想要说什么。思及此，大家需要问自己的一个问题就是：什么样的词汇会造成我们阅读理解障碍？进一步的思考，是不是所有的生词、熟词、语境、习语都会造成我们理解失败？我相信，通过两次课上的词汇题比较，大家应该有一个大概的答案了。
