“英語詞彙學習叢書”由美國知名的教材教輔圖
書出版社Townsend Press出版，是美國大學生使用最
為廣泛的擴大詞彙量的教學輔導圖書之一。正如本叢
書的編者所指出的那樣，在美國一個學生的前途在某
種程度上取決於他／她的詞彙量的大小。對於我國廣
大的英語學習者來說，詞彙學習當然也是英語學習的
一個重要方面。
本叢書共有6冊。每冊介紹240～300個在TOEFL、
GRE、SAT等考試中經常出現的單詞。本叢書的特點是
提供地道的例句，讓單詞在多個語境中反復出現，通
過例證、同義、反義、類比等關繫來界定詞義，使學
生自然而然習得單詞，與傳統的死記硬背方法有著極
大的不同。此外，書中部分練習題的題型與TOEFL、
GRE、SAT等考試題型相似，對有志於出國留學的學生
熟悉題型也有一定的幫助。
約翰遜、蓋默編著的《英語詞彙飛躍》
（Advanced Word Power）為本叢書的第六冊，適合
我國高校英語專業高年級（TEM8）水平的學生使用，
也可以用作GRE培訓高級階段的輔助教材。
