阅读理解突破(四) 阅读理解突破(四) ——词义猜测题 1．词义猜测题的提问方式 (1)The word “...” refers to/probably means________. (2)The underlined word “...” could best be replaced by________. (3)What do you think the expression “...” stands for? (4)By saying “...” we mean________. (5)“...” as used in the passage can best be defined as________. (6)Which of the following words can take the place of the word “...”？ 2．词义猜测题的解题策略 (1)利用“同义关系”猜测词义 ①被考查的词汇在文章中往往被同义词、同位语、定语从句等来解释或限定,根据这些词可以很容易猜测词义。 ②作者常常会用be,mean,refer to,in other words,that is (to say)等指示性词或词组来对某一词或词组进行解释,那么所给生词和指示词后的含义相同。 ③有时候标点符号,如破折号、冒号或括号均可以表示同义关系或解释。 ④有时作者也常用such as,like,for example,for instance等进一步解释说明前面???一词句或某一现象。通过所举的例子,便可理解生词的含义。 (2)利用上下文的“对比、转折”关系来猜测词义 通过意思相反或对应的两个句子或两部分来判断其中某一部分的意思。这时只要知道其中一部分的含义,则另一部分也就一目了然了。两部分之间常用while,but,however,on the contrary,on the other hand等来表示转折,根据这样的标志词可准确解释词义。 (3)根据上下文的因果关系理解词义 有什么样的原因就会产生什么样的结果。因果关系是文章中一种很普通的语言表达关系。在这种关系中如果知道了原因,结果也就不难知道了；反之,如果知道了结果,原因也就不难发现。 (4)利用构词法来猜测词义 很多词是通过构词法得来的,考生若掌握了一定的构词法知识,就不难猜出它们的词义。 中学英语中常见的前缀和后缀： super-(超),inter-(在……之间),-able(能……的),mini-(极少的,微型的),micro-(极微小的),re-(再,反复),sub-(分支的,底下),co-(共同),post-(后),pre-(前),trans-(通过,转换),under-(在……之下,次于,不足),-hood (状态,性质,时期),-ish (如……的,有点儿……的),-proof (防……的),-scope (……镜),-ship(身份,资格,权力,性质),-some (易于……的),-wards (向),mis-(误,恶),un-(不,非),in-(不,非),im-(不,非),dis-(不),non-(不,非),-less(不,无),anti-(反,防),Sino-(中国) 1 Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair admitted on a television programme that he had never sent flowers to his wife Cherie and that Hollywood beauty Grace Kelly was his dream lover. Blair,who allowed Channel 4 interviewer June Sarpong to shadow him for two days last month,made other personal revelations when asked questions he rarely hears on the usual television political programs. During the interview for a program targeting 18—30 year olds,the prime minister admitted that he sometimes had to “wing it” when making public appearances and that he wanted to go out for a drink without being recognized. However,the most dramatic revelation
