美妙的用词及搭配皆在此列，像fall victim（受害），stand a fair chance（大有希望）这种地道的动宾搭配要勤加记忆。为了积累写作词汇，应将文中同属一个话题的用词汇总归纳，组成主题词族（topic family）。归类记忆可以使自己日后即写即用，得心应手。下文是一篇2001年考研阐释爱心的优秀文章，多处用词精巧，现将文中关于爱心这一主题的词汇总结如下：

　　emotional strength 情感的力量

　　the noblest of human emotions人类最高尚的情感

　　no thought of gain不计得失

　　the lamp of love爱心之灯

　　help the victims of natural disasters支援自然灾害受害者

　　donate whatever they can倾囊相助

　　help their needy fellow citizens 帮助有需要的同胞

　　be ready to give a helping hand 随时准备伸出援手

　　When we use the word “love”， we do not simply mean an attraction to a person of the opposite sex， which is a very narrow definition of the word. Love is emotional strength， which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes. In fact， throughout history people of many different cultures have regarded love as the noblest of human emotions.

　　As an example of the power of love， we should remember how the Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of natural disasters every year. Although their incomes are still low by international standards， people all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can ― be it money or goods ― to help their needy fellow citizens. Moreover， they do this with no thought of gain for themselves.

　　In my opinion， the best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are. We should always be ready to give a helping hand to those who are in trouble， no matter whether they are family members or complete strangers. In this way， we can help to make the world a better place， for the darker the shadows of sorrow become， the more brightly the lamp of love shines.

　　当我们用“爱”这个词时，我们不仅仅指异性对一个人的吸引，这只是对这个词非常狭隘的解释。爱心是一种情感的力量，不论我们周围的世界多么黑暗，爱心都能支撑我们。事实上，纵观历史，不同文化背景的人都把爱看成是人类最高尚的情感。

　　说到爱心的力量，我们马上就会想起每年中国各族人民是如何响应号召支援自然灾害受害者的。尽管按照国际标准他们的收入还处于低水平，全国人民毫不犹豫地倾囊相助――不管是钱还是物――帮助那些有需要的同胞。而且，他们这么做并不考虑自己的得失。

　　我认为，表达爱心的最好方式是帮助比我们更加不幸的人。我们应该随时准备向有困难的人伸出援助之手，无论他们是家庭成员还是素昧平生。这样，我们就能够助一臂之力把世界变成一个更美好的地方，因为，悲伤的阴影越黑暗，爱心之灯的光芒就越闪亮。
