第四节：四星级•五星级•六星级单词全面奉献

【疯狂短评】
很多英语学习者都抱怨背英语单词是何其的枯燥和困难，背过的单词能记住的不到五分之一。其实我们背单词的目的是运用，所以一定不能脱离句子、脱离语言环境去背单词。英语中有不少使用频繁而广泛的核心单词，它们通常不止一种词义，则更需要我们结合语境，熟悉词义，牢记用法，反复操练句子来记忆。这样不但能够记住这个单词，并且让你在不知不觉中学会熟练的使用这个单词，收到事半功倍的效果。
从开始，我们向大家重点介绍四星级、五星级和六星级单词各一个，每个单词配以10个以上的例句帮助记忆。并且我们还为大家额外奉献二十个实用单词。相信大家的词汇量一定会在短期内有很大的提高。
【Kim’s Note】There are some words that just give an instant lift to your English level. The best way to improve your vocabulary is to incorporate challenging words into daily conversation. This way is far more effective than just memorizing lifeless words on a page. We selected the following words just for you because they are not only challenging, but useful.

【经典示范一】

【经典示范二】

认为；以为；猜想；料想

【疯狂例句】
1. Let’s suppose it’s true.
（我们假定那是真的。）

2. What makes you suppose I’m against it?
（你根据什么认为我反对这件事？）
【Kim’s Note】 Some offices are controlled by gossip. Sometimes your boss will think he knows your opinion about a project or idea before you discuss it with him. If he assumes you are against an idea, this sentence can be useful to open a discussion.

3. She’ll be there today, I suppose.
（我想她今天会到那儿去。）

4. I suppose you want to borrow money from me again?
（我猜你又来找我借钱了吧？）
【Kim’s note】This is an extremely useful sentence to send away people who always borrow money or other things from you without returning. To deal with this kind of person sarcasm can be extremely effective! If you blurt out this sentence before the person can ask, you will probably save yourself some money.

5. It was generally supposed that it would not happen again.
（一般都认为此事不会再发生了。）

8. Suppose you had a million dollars, how would you spend it?
（假如你有一百万美金，你会怎么花呢？）
【Kim’s note】This sentence is sure to start an interesting discussion. You can also tell a lot about a person based on his answer. People who answer mainly by describing what they would buy for themselves are usually more self-centered and shallow than people who describe what they would buy for others.

9. Suppose we go for a swim!
（咱们去游泳吧！）

10. Am I supposed to clean all the rooms or just this one?
（我是应该打扫所有的房间，还是只打扫这一间？）

11. You were supposed to be here an hour ago.
（你应该在一小时之前赶到这里。）
【Kim’s note】I always use this sentence when someone is late. I don’t bother asking why someone is late because I am not interested in excuses. I just let them know they were supposed to be present an hour before!

12. You’re not supposed to play football in the street.
（在大街上是不准踢足球的。）

13. Suppose he were to see us!
（要是他看到我们，那可不得了！）
【Kim’s note】This is a classic sentence for students who like to skip (miss) class. They are always worried about the teacher seeing them!

2. involving or being involved, esp. in a crime
卷入；牵连（常指于罪行中）

【疯狂评述】
