formidable词根词缀_词根词缀+语境：和UP一起逻辑背单词（三十六）

“长期共存，互相监督，肝胆相照，荣辱与共”

词汇这种东西，一定要日更，大家监督我呀。其实UP一直被单词问题困扰了许久，曾经也按照杨鹏老师的方法《17天记忆GRE单词》进行过一个半月，背完了六级和雅思，虽然单词掌握数量确实增加了不少，可是灵活运用却是一大BUG。之后又因偶然机会听到了曲根老师讲授的词根词缀记忆法，真真是人类的本质是重复，通过一个母词衍生出的各种相关词汇，反复记忆前缀词源，并时不时地趣味联想，记忆会变得异常牢固，遂萌发将词根词缀法与词汇记忆更深度的结合——在语境里背单词，90%的题做错还真不是因为逻辑，而是因为词汇理解能力。

Two recent publications offer different assessment of the career of the  famous British nurse Florence Nightingale.主题句，由此句和三段首句可知本文是结论解释型文章，即主要特点是总分式

A  book by Anne Summers (观点之一)seeks todebunk(负评价的实义动词)the idealizations and  present a reality(正评价词)at odds with Nightingale’s heroic reputation.

According  to Summers, Nightingale’s importanceduring the Crimean War(和观点二比较的差别点)has been  exaggerated(负评价的实义动词): not until near the war’s end did she become supervisor of  the female nurses.

Additionally, (递进副词，表示行文方向一致，因此后面内容可以略读，仅提炼关键词即可，或不读)

Summers  writes that the contribution of the nurses to the relief of the wounded was at  best marginal. The prevailing problems of military medicine were caused by army  organizational practices, and the addition of a few nurses to the medical staff  could be no more thansymbolic. Nightingale’s place in the national pantheon,  Summers asserts, is largely due to thepropagandisticefforts of contemporary  newspaper reporters.(以上略读)

2)By contrast(重要的强转折词，注意对比方/观点的差异点), the editors (对比观点二)of a new volume of  Nightingale’s letters view Nightingale as a person who significantly  influenced(正评价词) not only her own age but also subsequenct generations. They  highlight her ongoing efforts to reformsanitary conditions after the  war观点二比较的差别点，和观点一中during the Crimean War对比，这一句是后面举例的总结句，重要，知道总结句可以不用看后面的例子.

For example,  when she learned that peacetime living conditions in British barracks were so  horrible that the death rate of enlisted men far exceeded that of neighboring  civilian populations, she succeeded in persuading the government to establish a  Royal Commission on the Health of the Army. She used sums raised through public  contributions to found a nurses’ training hospital in London. Even in  administrative matters, the editors assert, her practical intelligence was  formidable: as recently as 1947 the British Army’s medical services were still  using the cost-accounting system she had devised in the 1860’s.(以上略读)(举例通常可以略读，只提取例子中的关键词，如peacetime living  conditions，举例的关键看前后的总结句，这里是for example 前面的一句话，因为例子都是用来说明总结句的，只要明白总结句的意思就行了。

3)I believe that the evidence of her letters supports(正评价词) continued  respect for Nightingale’s brilliance and creativity(正评价词)."I believe": brilliance and creativity,表明·作者观点而非简单地摘要总结

总结句后举例说明，提取关键字，略读

When counseling a village schoolmaster to encourage children  to use their faculties of observation, she sounds like a modern educator. Her  insistence on classifying the problems of the needy in order to devise  appropriate treatments is similar to the approach of modern social  workers.(以上略读)

In sum(此处为总结句), although  (让步略读，重点是让步后的转折句)Nightingale may not have achieved all of her goals during the  Crimean War, her breadth of vision and ability to realize ambitious projects  have earned(正评价词) her an eminent(正评价词) place among the ranks of social  pioneers.(重点读，表明作者对以上两个不同观点的评述)
