cat4文字推理考试真题解析及核心词汇总结

cat4是英式国际学校的入学考试，旨在为学校提供更广泛、更全面的学生评估，让学校可更好地因材施教。cat4考试的内容均是英文，对英语非母语的国内学生来说具有一定挑战，尤其是cat4词汇部分（Verbal Reasoning)，很多同学为此很焦虑。

cat4测试考试科目有四项目：文字推理（Verbal Reasoning)、数字推理(Quantitative Reasoning)、逻辑推理(Non-verbal Reasoning)、空间推理（Spatial Reasoning)。其中，Verbal Reasoning主要就是cat4词汇考试部分，简单来说就是测试孩子的语言水平，做一堆同义词反义词、字母填空、连字等等，测试语言掌握能力。需要一定的阅读和词汇能力。

一、cat4文字推理考试真题解析

文字推理verbal reasoning共两个题型Verbal Classification以及Verbal Analogy。

下面让我们来见识一下cat4词汇考试的两大题型中的Verbal Analogy。Verbal Analogy主要考察的是包括近义、反义等逻辑关系，这在类比题中比较明显。同学们在备考cat4词汇的时候，同样是背单词，但对于单词的细微差别和不同层次词义要求也很高，今天我们来看几个涉及到熟词僻意的词汇类比题目。

1.Clip is to movie as

A.buckle is to shoe

B.excerpt is to novel

C.jar is to liquid

D.room is to house√

E.filling is to pie

解析：首先判断一下题干中两个词汇的关系，clip大家比较熟悉词义是“曲别针”，乍一看与movie“电影”没有什么关系，所以这里考察的是clip并不常见的词义：“a short part of a film/movie that is shown separately电影片段”。所以两个词的关系是“整体-部分”。根据这个关系，我们就可以很容易选出答案：D“房间”–“房子”

再来看一题：

2.lion is to pride as goose to

A.dignity

B.gaggle√

C.honor

D.geese

E.giggle

解析：题干中lion与pride看似是“事物-品质”的关系，但会发现选项中没有与goose对应的品质单词。因为这里pride的意思应取“a group of lions狮群”，是“动物-群落”的关系。这样我们就很容易选出答案B，gaggle“鹅群”’。

通过这两道题提示我们在备考中除了大量积累自己不认识的生词，也要注意已经很熟悉的词汇的生僻词意，才能保证做题时考虑全面，做饭万无一失。
