通过横向联系的方式来记忆单词
横联法即在学习一个新的词汇时，横向比较与此词意思相近或相同的同义词，了解这些意思相近的词的常规用法，着重注意它们的在使用上的细微区别，细挖它们的外延和内涵，同时也应注意它们的使用场合和表达的语气。所以在教授新的词汇时，我们应积极地引导学生回顾已学过的和它意思相近或相同的词汇，动员学生尽力去掌握这些相似词组、词汇的常规用法，着重关注它们的使用场合和习惯搭配，并在字典上查询相应的例句。如在学习scene（风景、场景）时，我积极地引导学生回顾、比较已学过和它意思相近或相同的词汇、词组以及它们的细微区别。通过查找和对比，我们不难发现它的同义词以及它们之间的区别。
1. scene: [C]a place seen (as if) in a picture; A scene is what you see both close up and at a distance, and may include people and movement; an event or course of action regarded as like something in a play or film. 指从远处看到的某一具体景色、景象，也可以指人物的活动场面；(犯罪的)地点，现场。
e.g. Every Saturday evening the old man goes to the park to enjoy a happy scene of children playing on the grassland.
2. scenery: [U]natural surroundings, esp. in beautiful and open country; It’s the general appearance of part of the country, considered from the point of view. 风景，景色，舞台布景，强调从美的角度看，某个国家或地区的总体外貌。
e.g. We passed through some beautiful scenery on our journey through the Lake District.
3. landscape: [C] A landscape is any combination of hills, valleys, fields, etc., seen in a particular area. (自然的)风景，景色；风景画。
e.g. The landscape was typical of the Lake District, with high mountains, lakes, and deep valleys.
4. view: [C] View is used to talk about what you see at a distance from a particular place, considered from the point of view of how much you are able to see. 指从远处或窗户看到的视野范围内的风景；观点，看法。
e.g. You’ll get a fine view of the town from the top of the hill. (=you will be able to see a lot of the town).
5. sight: [C] something that is seen. 多指人工的事物，比如大建筑史迹等有名的处所。
e.g. What a beautiful sight those roses are.
The Imperial Palace is one of the sights of China.
让我们利用刚才这些词汇的区别来解决一个选择题。
There was a good _____ of the countryside from the front of the bus.
A. sight B. view C. scene D. scenery
[答案]B. view。
[解析]view在本句中意指“看，眺望” ，指从远处或窗户看到的视野范围内的风景；如：It is a large room with a view of the doctor's well-kept garden. (这是一间大房间，从房间里能看到医生精心管理的花园。)本题译文：坐在汽车的前排座位可以清楚地看到乡间的景色。
又如，在学生学习apart from时，我又不失时机地给出下列一组词：in addition/ in addition to/except/ except for/ except that/ but / other than/ save /besides.它们汉语的意思都是“除了……以外”，用法上却有着天壤之别。这是我们须提醒学生关注
它们的区别，并请学生通过查询相关例子加以区别。
apart from除了……还有，或者没有
in addition to除了……还有，后面跟名词性短语；in addition后跟句子。
Except 除了……没有，强调并列的关系，如除了他以外其他人都在；except for除了……没有，但强调整体和部分的关系，如整台晚会都很好，除了音响之外，它们后面都跟名词性短语。except that除了……没有，后跟句子。
besides除了……还有，后跟名词性短语。
but / other than/ save除了……没有，后面跟名词性短语；
1. The little village hasn’t changed much _____ a new road and two more stores.
A. except B. besides C. except that D. except for
2. ______ Japanese, she has to study another foreign language.
A. Except B. Except for C. In addition to D. Beside
通过比较，学生掌握了汉语意思看似相同而其内涵和外延却大相径庭的一组词汇的用法，起到举一反三、抛砖引玉的作用，而这恰是高考中的热门考点，亦是学生最容易犯错的地方。运用横联词汇记忆法，学生不但记住了本词汇，还拓展了其它意思相近的词汇的用法，使学生在使用这些词汇时不致于望文生义，按部就班，不顾词汇的使用场合和使用语境，而是根据它们的内涵和外延来选择相应的符合英语国家人士所使用的词汇，使得表达更加流畅、自然，而这也是我们英语教学所一直追求的。
