GRE单词由于数量众多，在一场考试中出现的概率也有高有低，人们能够获得的数据就是以往考试中出现的次数，即词频。词频同然重要，但近些年被神话得太多，甚至误导一些同学，以致于大家把精力都放在那些所谓高频词上面。实际上，对考试分数真正起作用的词汇不是那些词频超过6、7次的单词，那些词基本上大家都会，而恰恰是那些出现过l、2次的单词。它们是构成分数区分度的同汇。
本书只标出普通词和高频词，而不是传统的用角标来标注词频从而让考生产生对单词不必要的歧视。背诵后期尤其希望对高频(词频≥1)词汇共4841个有比较清晰的认识，具体请参考附录，附录中以蓝色标注出了这些高频词汇。
为精确理解词义而编排的英文解释对一些单词比较适用，但对于很多名词或汉语含义非常清晰明确的词汇，再配以英文解释有蛇足之嫌，顾而本书只对需要快速精确理解词义的词汇给出了英文解释。
本书根据GRE词汇考核的特点设计了反义词连线题，凡是在正文词条中给出反义词的词汇学习者应该特别注意，背诵的时候需要重点记忆。在某些List的练习中也会有词义连线题。另有一些词对于阅读理解和填空有重要的意义，我们特地设计了选词填空练习，来帮助大家快速应用刚学习的单词，实验结果表明，经过练习的词汇，记忆效果更清晰、更长久。
本书因按照学科和意群分类，所采用分类多为原创，大家想找寻某个单词恐怕不能一下子翻到，这时请使用附录中的词汇表来检索。为提高纸面的表现效率，此词汇表和前面提到的词频表为同一个附录。

Hugh Laurie concocts an uproarious cocktail of comic zingers and over-the-top action in this "ripping spoof of the spy genre" "(Vanity Fair)" -- the irresistible tale of a former Scots Guard-turned-hired gun, a freelance soldier of fortune who also happens to be one heck of a nice guy.Cold-blooded murder just isn't Thomas Lang's cup of tea. Offered a bundle to assassinate an American industrialist, he opts to warn the intended victim instead -- a good deed that soon takes a bad turn. Quicker than he can down a shot of his favorite whiskey, Lang is bashing heads with a Buddha statue, matching wits with evil billionaires, and putting his life (among other things) in the hands of a bevy of femmes fatales. Up against rogue CIA agents, wannabe terrorists, and an arms dealer looking to make a high-tech killing, Lang's out to save the leggy lady he has come to love...and prevent an international bloodbath to boot.
