　　四、对比印证分清概念 对知识进行正反对比，使之概念比、公式化，可以较准确地达到NMET试题要求，使知识层面在短期内有所拓宽，对语言的内涵和内在规律有所了解。例如：

The question is worth ( ).

A. to discuss
B. discussing
C. being discussed
D. to be discussed

Key: b

概念：worth的意义：
sth be worth + money 值多少钱
sth be worth doing 很值得做
sth be worth + 名词 值得
It is worth while doing / to do sth ……值得……

对比联想：

worthy sth be worthy of + 名词 配得上

　　总之，探究高考试题可以从中发现很多有价值的东西，如果考生对NMET原原本本地加以演练研悟，对备考NMET2000会有很大的益处。

　　六、科学使用备考材料及辅助读物 这是备考不可忽视的一个重要组成部分。只有选准选对了备考材料，才可以少走弯路，凸现出效益性。笔者认为：

（1）备考的练习材料应与NMET风格相近，知识系统，循序渐进，有梯度。

（2）对广大考生来讲，应当抽出一定的时间来阅读大量的英语方面的辅助材料。因为近年的高考越来越注重英语语言实践能力的考察，分析、判断、推理、生活常识、地理、历史、天文、理化等方面的知识无不涵概，这就要求考生必须具备相当完备的知识储备。笔者认为，大量阅读各类报刊对考生增加知识层面大有补益。

（3）多听一些有关英语方面的听力材料、歌曲、故事也大有好处。

总之，要想在NMET高考中取得好的成绩，应当采取"综合治理"的方法。只要广大考生认真备考，扎实复习，打好2000NMET这一仗就会十分有把握的。
