字詞猜測(cè)解題技巧

根據(jù)上下文推斷單詞和短語的含義是英語閱讀理解題重要出題方向之一，也是考查考生英語語言能力和

文化品格的一種重要方式。詞義猜測(cè)題可以針對(duì)單詞、短語的意思進(jìn)行命題考查，還可以針對(duì)某一句子的

準(zhǔn)確理解或代詞的精確指代進(jìn)行設(shè)題。除了直接考查單詞或短語詞義猜測(cè)外，在閱讀理解文章中，總會(huì)有

一些單詞或短語超出了《考試大綱》詞匯表的范圍，但又沒有附加注釋，也需要考生猜測(cè)，這也是對(duì)詞義

猜測(cè)的一種間接考查。

解題技巧

1.指代猜測(cè)法

指代猜測(cè)指依據(jù)語境的邏輯關(guān)系，判斷劃線的人稱代詞或指示代詞在文章中指代的對(duì)象。考查考生對(duì)

文章中敘述的特定的人、物、事件的再認(rèn)能力。解這類題時(shí)，應(yīng)注意代詞指代的總原則——就近指代。

differentcustoms(風(fēng)俗).Youreadallthesefrombooksinthepast,butnowyouhaveachancetoknowthem

clearly.Youcanalsomakenewfriendsfromdifferentcountries.Theycanhelpyouknowmoreabouttheirown

countries.

Whatdoestheunderlinedword"them"refertoinParagraph3?

A.Friends.B.Teachers.C.Countries.D.Customs.

2.轉(zhuǎn)折對(duì)比法

問：Theword“prioritize“inParagraph5probablymeans.

A.lookdownuponB.givefirstplaceto

C.catchupwithD.dependon

6.短語猜測(cè)法

短語猜測(cè)是指利用上下文語境推測(cè)短語的意義?？疾閷W(xué)生聯(lián)系主旨、結(jié)合上下文對(duì)詞組的理解辨別能力。

Jimlikessugarandcakesverymuch.Healwayseatssomefoodwithsugarbeforegoingtobed.

"Idon'tknow,madam.Ileftitatthedentists."

WhatistheChinesemeaningoftheunderlinedphrase"pullout"?

A.切開B.拔掉C.縫補(bǔ)D.組裝

7.根據(jù)近義詞/反義詞猜測(cè)詞義法

在同一、同一段或同一篇文章中，作者為了避免語言的單調(diào)、重復(fù)，有時(shí)會(huì)使用意思相同或相近的詞。因

此，考生只要讀懂上下文，知道其中一個(gè)單詞的意思，就能猜出另外一個(gè)單詞的意思。此外，有時(shí)作者也

會(huì)用表示對(duì)比或轉(zhuǎn)折的信號(hào)詞連接意思相反的兩個(gè)詞或句子，這時(shí)就可根據(jù)反義詞線索猜測(cè)詞義。表示對(duì)

比或反義的信號(hào)詞/短語常見的有：(whether)...or,unlike,but,yet,however,while,although,instead,rather

than,,ontheotherhand等

Thereisasupermarketnexttomyhouse.Youcanbuyallkindsofthingsthere.Theclothesinitareexpensive,but

thefoodischeap…

TheChinesemeaningof“cheap"is.

A.美味的B.昂貴的C.難的D.廉價(jià)的

8.構(gòu)詞法猜詞法

在閱讀文章時(shí)，總會(huì)遇上一些新詞匯，有時(shí)很難根據(jù)上下文來推斷其詞意，而它們對(duì)文章的理解又有著舉

足輕重的作用，此時(shí)，如掌握了一些常用的詞根、前綴、后綴等語法知識(shí)，如前綴un-表反義詞，如

happy-unhappy,fair-unfair等；后綴-ment表名詞，如develop-development,state-statement等；后-er、-or或-ist

表同源名詞：如calculate-calculator,visit-visitor,wait-waiter,science-scientist等，如果一來，這些問題便不難

解決了。
