英語閱讀猜詞意的題
A. 考研英語中猜詞題怎樣解答
考研英語閱讀中的大致有四類猜詞題: 1)猜某個單詞的意思,這個單位可能是超綱的詞彙,還有可能是一個熟悉單詞的不熟悉用法; 嫌睜2)某個短語的意思,也可能包含了某個超綱的詞彙,或者是一個熟悉單詞的特殊搭配; 3)猜某個句子的含義,這個句子的結構一般不會太復雜,不會是長難句,但是其中可能包含了一些超綱的詞彙或特殊短語、習語、典故、成語等,還有可能是引自文中某個的配兆話; 4)還要猜某個詞語的指代含義如it, this, that, which, these, those等,例如: The word 「mania」 (line 4, paragraph 2) most probably means______. The word 「bummer」 (line 5, paragraph 2)most probably means_____ . The phrase 「making the biggest splash」(line 1,paragraph)means_____. 這部分的解題關鍵是單詞並不重要,重要的是上下文,單詞認識,並且不超綱的話,它的字面意思就絕對不是正確的答案,正確答案可以根據上下文推出的更深層的含義。 而正確選項的特點是在文章中能找出這樣的選項的同義詞、近義詞、反義詞、原詞、概括詞或其解釋說明等。其干擾選項的特點就是取字面意思和無中生有。 1)可以用定義猜測如anthropology,is the scientific study of the man.2.利用復述,一般2個逗號之間的or後面的叫做復述;3.舉例子。 2)通過強對比(反義)關系進行猜測;通過同義(並列)猜測詞義;通過因果猜測。 3)利用外部相關的因素進行猜測:通過詞根詞綴;通過復合詞的各部分猜測以及生活常芹賣歲識進行猜測。
B. 英語閱讀中如何根據上下文猜測詞義
猜測詞義也是一種英語閱讀能力。英語閱讀理解試題中有不少這樣的題目。 任何一個實詞,只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一個確定的詞義。所謂上下文(context),正如英語辭典所解釋的,其作用就是幫助確定上下文中的詞、短語或句子的意義。據此,我們可以盡可能地利用上下文來猜測詞義,即從已知推求未知,也就是用我們所熟悉的詞或短語來猜測我們不熟悉的詞的詞義。猜測詞義時,我們可以從三個方面來考慮:1)根據上下文已知部分進行邏輯上的推理。2)運用語法知識進行語法分析。3)依靠常識和經驗做出判斷。根據上下文猜測詞義的方法有下列幾種: (1)根據定義或解釋猜測詞義。例如下面的閱讀材料: a bag is useful and the word 「bag」 is useful. it gives us some interesting phrases(短語). one is 「 to let the cat out of the bag.」 it is the same as 「to tell a secret」…. now when someone lets out (泄漏)a secret, he 「lets the cat out of the bag.」 短文後面有一個理解題目: john 「lets the cat out of the bag」 means he ________. a. makes everyone know a secret b. the woman bout a cat c. buys a cat in the bag d. sells the cat in the bag 在這篇文章里,「let the cat out of the bag」雖然是一個新出現的短語,但緊接著後面就給出解釋it is the same as 「to tell a secret.根據這一解釋,我們就可判斷出正確答案應為a。 (2)根據情景和邏輯進行判斷。例如:2004年北京市海淀區中考試題閱讀材料a。其中第三段是這樣的: as they go around town, the police help people. sometimes they find lost children. they take the children home. if the police see a fight, they put an end to it right away. sometimes people will ask the police how to get to a place in town. the police can always tell the people which way to go. they know all the streets and roads well. 文章後面有這樣一道題: 53. in the text, 「put an end to」 means 「___________」. a. stop b. cut c. kill d. fly 根據文章所提供的情景,如果警察看到有人在打架,他們肯定會去制止。因為制止打架斗毆是警察的職責。根據這一推理,答案應該是a。 (3)根據並列、同位關系猜測詞義。例如下面的閱讀材料: there is a place on our earth where hot water and steam come up under the ground. it is on a large island in the pacific ocean. the island is north island in new zealand. 101. what does the word 「steam」 mean in chinese? a. 自來水b. 大氣c. 冰川d. 蒸汽 從語法上看,steam和hot water是並列關系,我們就以斷定這兩種東西是相關的,是同一類第物質。在所給第四個選項中只有「蒸汽」有這種可能。 (4)根據背景和常識判斷。請看2004年北京市海淀區中考試題的閱讀材料c: watching some children trying to catch butterflies one august afternoon, i was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. when i was a boy of twelve in south carolina, something happened to me that made me never put any wild creature (living thing) in a cage(籠子). we lived on the edge of a forest, and every evening at sk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. there isn』t a musical instrument made by man that can proce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird. i decided that i would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way, i would have my own private musician. i finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. at first, being scared, the bird fluttered(撲騰) about the cage, but finally it settled down in its new home. i felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my little musician. on the second day of the bird』s captivity, my new pet』s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. the baby bird ate everything she brought to it. i was pleased to see this. certainly the mother knew better than i how to feed her baby. the following morning when i went to see how my captive (caged) bird was doing, i discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. i was terribly surprised! what had happened! i had taken extremely care of my little bird, or so i thought. arthur wayne, the famous ornithologist, who happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had happened. 「a mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries(毒莓). she thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.」 never since then have i caught any living creature and put it in a cage. all living creatures have a right to live free. 60. an ornithologist is probably a person who ____________ . a. studies birds b. loves creatures c. majors in habits d. takes care of trees ornithologist這個詞從來沒有見到過,但是通過他的語言我們可以判斷出這是一個對鳥很有研究的人。我很愛鳥,把鳥裝在籠子里,並細心照料,而且鳥的母親也飛過來喂這只鳥,但這只鳥卻死了,我很不理解。到我家來的這個人給我詳細解釋了鳥死的原因,說明這個人非常懂鳥。據此,我們可以斷定答案影視a。
C. 高中英語閱讀理解的詞義猜測題怎麼做
閱讀理解能力測試的主要要求及應試策略 王俊 高中英語閱讀理解能力測試的主要要求: 1.讀材料的主旨和大意,以及用以說明主旨和大意的事實和細節。 2.既理解具體的事實,也理解抽象的概念。 3.既理解字面的意思,也理解深層的含義,包括作者的態度,意圖等。 4.既理解某句,某段的含義,也理解全篇的邏輯關系,並據此進行推理和判斷。 5.既能根據所提供的信息去理解,也能結合中學生應有的常識去理解。根據這五項要求,我們可將閱讀理解多項選擇題歸納為以下幾種題型:細節理解題,詞句理解題,主題、主旨題,猜測詞義題,推理判斷題。下面作者結合平時教學中的經驗體會,談一談做英語 閱讀理解題的技巧與策略。 一、 先看題干,帶著問題讀文章。 即先看試題,再讀文章。閱讀題干,首先要掌握問題的類型,分清是客觀信息題還是主觀判斷題。客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案;而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調,作者未加陳述的觀點以及貫穿全文的中心主旨的理解等,這類題必須經過對作者的態度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等。其次,了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息,然後有針對性地對文章進行掃讀,對有關信息進行快速定位,再將相關信息進行整合、甄別、分析、對比,有根有據地排除干擾項,選出正確答案。此法加強了閱讀的針對性,提高了做題的准確率,節省了寶貴的時間。特別適用於對 圖形表格類題材的理解。 二、 速讀全文,了解大意知主題。 閱讀的目的是獲取信息。一個人的閱讀能力的高低決定了他能否快速高效吸收有用信息。閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面。閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力。沒有一定的閱讀速度就不能順利地輸入信息,更談不上運用英語。近幾年的高考閱讀速度大約是每分鍾40個詞左右。考生必須在十分有限的時間內運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時空、順序、情節、人物、觀點,並且理清文章脈絡,把握語篇實質。 抓主題句這是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主題句一般出現在文章的開頭和結尾。用歸納法撰寫的文章,都是表述細節的句子在前,概述性的句子居後。此或啟敗時主題句就是文章的最後一句。通常用演繹法撰寫的文章,大都遵循從一般到個別的寫作程序,即從概述開始,隨之輔以細說。這時,主題句就是文章的第一句。當然也有些文章沒有主題句,需要讀者自己去歸納。主題句往往對全文起提示、啟迪、概括、歸納之作用,主旨大意題,歸納概括題,中心思想題往 往直接可從主題句中找到答案。 試試看,你能找出下面一段文章的主題句嗎? The panda is a popular animal. Stories about the panda in the Washington Zoo are always front page news and important features on television newscasts. Stuffed pandas are among the most popular toys for children, and panda postcards are always in demand in zoo gift shops. 不難看出,文章的第一句是主題句,後面的句子都圍繞這個句子展 開。 三、 詳讀細節,理順思路與文章脈絡。 文章絕不是互不相乾的句子雜亂無章的堆砌。作者為文,有脈可循。如記敘文多以人物為中旁蠢心,以時間或空間為線索,按事件的發生、發展、結局展開故事;論述體則包含論點、論據、結論三大要素,通過解釋、舉例來闡述觀衫顫點。你可根據文章的特點,詳讀細節,以動詞、時間、地點、事件、因果等為線索,找出關鍵詞語,運用"畫 圖列表法",勾畫出一幅完整清晰的文章主題和細節的認知圖。 例如:SEFC 3A Feed the World(2) 本文通過四個不同的國家和地區,總結了世界飢荒的主要原因。運 用圖表,文章的結構和思路就一目瞭然了。 Reasons for world hunger In EU: 1) Food is bought from farmers and thrown away. 2) Farmers are paid not to grow crops. In India: Most land is owned by rich land owners. In less developed countries: Farmers are forced to plant cash crops. In western countries: Grain is fed to beef cattle. 四、 邏輯推理,做好深層理解題。 在實際閱讀中,有時作者並未把意圖說出來,閱讀者要根據字面意思,通過語篇邏輯關系,研究細節的暗示,推敲作者的態度,理解文章的寓義。這就是通常所說的深層理解。深層理解主要包括歸納概括題(中心思想,加標題等)和推理判斷題,是閱讀理解中的難點。深層理解是一種創造性的思維活動。它必須忠實於原文;要以文章提供的事實和線索為依據,立足已知推斷未知,不能憑空想像,隨意揣測;它要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理,不能就事論事,以偏概全。只有吃透文章的字面意思,推理才 有前提和基礎。推理題在提問中常用的詞有: infer, imply, suggest, indicate等。例如高考題: Annealing Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. If metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping (浸) it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle-that is, it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not break as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as it is wished, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other material, such as glass. 1. Why do people put hot metal in water? A. To make it hard. B. To make it soft. C. To make it cool. D. To make it brittle. 2. In annealing, the required hardness of metal depends on __. A. the quantity of water used B. the temperature of the metal C. the softness of the metal D. the timing of the operation 3. As suggested by the text, how can glass be made less brittle? A. It can be heated and then cooled quickly. B. It can be cooled and then heated slowly. C. It can be heated and then cooled slowly. D. It can be cooled and then heated quickly. 1、答案為A,此題屬推斷歸納題。文中第二句說如果把金屬加熱,然後迅速放到水裡冷卻,也就會變得非常硬,但也變得脆。hard 是工藝的主觀目的。brittle是伴隨的客觀結果,故選A而不選D。B 項明顯錯誤;C項是手段不是目的,因此,都可排除。 2、答案為D,此題屬概括歸納題。timing 是時間的選擇。本答案的依據是5和6兩句,"The metal is heated,…length of time.","The longer…the softer it becomes."cool 的時間是可以控制的,時間越長越 soft,即硬度就越低。由此我們可得出結論:在退火過程 中,金屬的硬度是受到冷卻的時間長短影響的。 3、答案為C此題屬推理判斷題。文中提到"metal"。最後一句說退 火工藝同樣可用於象玻璃一類的其他材料。文中我們已知"annealing"就是先"heat"後"cool slowly"。由此推斷C是正確的。 五、 猜詞悟義,掃除閱讀攔路虎。 猜詞是應用英語的重要能力,也是高考中常用的題型。它不但需要准確無誤地理解上下文,而且要有較大的泛讀量,掌握或認識較多的課外詞彙。我們要學會"順藤摸瓜",通過構詞,語法,定義,同位,對比,因果,常識,上下文等線索確定詞義。 a. 定義法 如:Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.句子給予annealing 以明確的定義,即"退火"。 It will be very hard but also very brittle------that is , it will break easily.從後面的解釋中我們可以了解到brittle 是"脆"的意思。 The herdsman , who looks after sheep,earns about 650yuan a year.定語從句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的詞義為"牧人"。 b 同位法 如:They traveled a long way , at last got to a castle, a large building in old times.同位語部分a large building in old times 給出了 castle 的確切詞義,即"城堡"。 We are on the night shift----from midnight to 8 a.m.---this week.兩個破折號之間的短語很清楚地表明night shift 是"夜班"的意思。 c. 對比法 如:She is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the middle of her first class. but 一詞表轉折,因此but 前後的意思正相反。後半句的意思是她今天"第一節上了一半才來",因此反向推理,可得出她平時一向"准時"的結論。 d. 構詞法(前綴、後綴、復合、派生等) Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years. But the next hundred? possibility 是 possible 的同根名詞, 據此可以判斷定 possibility 意思是"可能性"。 e. 因果法 如:The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken。Sometimes the weakness was permanent。So the player could never play the sport again.從後面的結果"永遠不能再運動"中,可以推測 permanent 的意思為"永遠的,永久的"。六、 養成習慣,潛移默化結碩果。 1、養成默讀習慣,使注意力集中的文字元號上,糾正唇讀,心讀,喉讀等做法,以免分散精力,影響閱讀速度。 2、克服指讀、回視、重讀等不良習慣,因為這樣容易使理解只停留在某個詞或句子上,使獲得的信息支離破碎。要善於抓住句子中的核心詞,從一個句子快速地掃視到另一個句子,進行連貫性理解。 如:"Would you like to do some shopping together with me? If you are free, please ring me back to tell me about it."這個句子,只要掃視劃線的核心詞,其語義就基本上清楚了。 英語閱讀能力的培養是一個漸進的復雜過程,要養成每天閱讀英語的習慣,循序漸進,持之以恆,精泛結合,廣泛獵奇。在潛移默化 中你會感覺到你的閱讀能力又有了長足的提高。
D. 大學英語六級閱讀猜題技巧,考生須看
1、大學英語六級根據定義猜測詞義
如果生詞是句子或段落所解釋的定義,理解句子或段落本身就是推斷詞義。
【例一】anthropology is the scientific study of man。
由定義可知,anthropology就是“研究人類的科學”。
【例二】In slang the term "jam" constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation。
同樣,從上下文的定義可知jam一詞在俚語中的意思是“困境”。
定義句的謂語動詞多為:be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, refer to, be called, be known as, define, represent, signify, constitute等。
2、大學英語六級根據復述猜測詞義
雖然復述不如定義那樣嚴謹、詳細,但是提供的信息足以使閱讀者猜出生詞詞義。復述部分可以適當詞、短語或是從句。
1)同位語
【例一】Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently。
此例逗號中短語意為“對詞意義進行研究的學科”。該短語與前面生詞semanties是同位關系,因此我們不難猜出semanties指“語義學”。
在復述中構成同位關系的兩部分之間多用逗號連接,有時也使用破折號、冒號、分號、引號、和括弧等。
【例二】Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits。
由同位語我們很快猜出生詞capacitance詞義――電容量。需要注意的是:同位語前還常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other等副詞或短語出現。
2)定語從句
【例如】Krabacber suffers from SAD, which is short for seasonal affective disorder, a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings。
根據生詞SAD後面定語從句which is short for seasonal affective disorder和同位語a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings, 我們可以推斷出SAD含義,即“季節性情緒紊亂症”。

E. 四川中考英語詞義猜測題有哪些形式
四川中考英語詞義猜測題有通過語境猜測詞義、根據定義來猜測詞義、通過經驗即生活常識猜測詞義三種形式。
1、通過語境猜測簡尺詞義,通過文章主題和上下文消漏的邏輯關系,來推測出生詞或句子的含義。
2、根據定義猜測詞義,定義的形式通常有:用一個句子或段落給生詞定義,使用破折號、冒號後面的內容或引號、括弧中的內容對生詞加以解釋或定義。
3、通過經驗及生活常識猜測詞義,在閱讀文章的基礎上利用自己對日常生活的理解和攔橋高判斷來完成對單詞的猜測。
F. 英語閱讀猜詞技巧
英語閱讀猜詞技巧
做英語閱讀的過程中,遇到不懂的單詞我們有時候會猜詞義,下面我給大家介紹英語閱讀猜詞技巧,一起來學習吧!
1.構詞法猜詞
在閱讀中我們常會遇到一些由熟悉的單詞派生或合成的新詞。掌握構詞法對猜詞義和背單詞都很有幫助。如wheelchair,wheel是輪子的意思,chair則是椅子。顯而易見,有輪子的椅子就是輪椅了。
2.利用同義近義詞猜詞
在生詞所出現的上下文中,有時會出現與之同義或近義的詞語或結構,這時可從熟悉的詞語中推知生詞的含義。生詞前後的句子一般會出現並列連詞and或or時,不妨通過其上下文的單詞推測出大概的詞義。
3.利用反義詞猜詞
對比是議論文中常用於描述事物的方法。在對比中,我們可根據反義或對比關系從已知推出未知。如反義詞cleverand stupid, internal and external,有時句內詞與詞之間,段內句與句之間的`關繫上起著互為線索的作用。
4.利用上下文語境猜詞
這是閱讀文章最常用的技巧,也是高考考查的熱點之一。因為句子在全文內容中不是孤立的,我們可以根據上下文提供的情景和線索進行合理分析,推測詞義。在此建議蜂友們在閱讀文章時要適當畫出重點詞句,了解文章大概內容,能快速找出答題線索喔。
5.利用定義和解釋猜詞
科學說明文會較多出現專有名詞,看似困難,實際不難。因為下文通常會以破折號,同位語,定語從句等對關鍵詞進行解釋。
6.利用例證猜詞
為了說明或證實,文章中經常會舉例說明前面生詞,這些例子可幫助我們猜測生詞。舉例時,常用的一些短語,如:suchas,like,for example,for instance等。
7.根據語義轉折猜詞
我們可以根據轉折意思猜測詞義。如:though,although,still,but,yet,instead,instead of,however,while,on the contrary,on the other hand,unlike,rather than,for one thing,for another等。
8.利用經驗和常識猜詞
在記敘文中可以利用日常經驗推出詞義,例如:To his great surprise, she pulledthe perfect pearl from her purse.
主要通過分析後半句,她從purse中拿出完美無瑕的珍珠。一位女士會從哪裡中拿出這么珍貴的東西呢?由此推斷該句中purse是手提包的意思。

H. 如何提高英語考試閱讀題的猜詞技巧(3)
八、語境線索或上下文
即利用語境來推測生詞含義的方法。這是我們用來推測詞義的主要方法之一。
例一:The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society—a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.
“My grandmothers did not do anything, but keep house and serve everybody, they were programmed to do that,” said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.
根據上下文我們可以很容易得出chapter的詞義為這個組織the Red Hat Society的一個分支。
例二:As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency ( 一貫性 )is very important teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality ( 道德 ). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and don’t practice what they preach ( teach ), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure ( 不穩定 )when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
根據上下文我們可知precept的詞義為“說教”。
例三:Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day. Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.
根據語境我們知道available的詞義為“可與之交談的”或“有空的”。
例四:We found that bar at last. I didn’t have to ask again, for there it was in big letters over the window—Star Bar. There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them. A few people sat listlessly around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of the bar. They were all in thin summer dresses or short sleeved-shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling. Two thin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanning themselves unenthusiastically (無精打採的) with magazines.
根據語境我們猜出stifling的詞義為“極熱的”。
九、標點符號的暗示
例一:The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society—a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.
破折號後面的部分對the Red Hat Society作了解釋,是“一個認為老年人應該有自己樂趣的團體”。
例二:The largest player—Shanghai Bashi Tourism Car Rental Center offers a wide variety of choices—deluxe sedans, minivans, station wagons, coaches. Santana sedans are the big favorite.
第二個破折號後面的deluxe sedans, minivans, station wagons, coaches應該指的是汽車的品牌或種類。
十、同義詞的替代關系
例句:Although he often had the opportunity, Mr. Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank, and he didn’t want to jeopardize his future.
為避免重復使用endanger一詞, 用同義詞jeopardize來替代它, 我們推知jeopardize詞義為“使陷入危險,危及,危害”。
十一、利用主系表結構來猜詞
主系表結構的句子有兩種功能:一是說明主語的形狀和特徵;二是主語和表語是同位關系。
例一:To malign is to slander an innocent person.
表語意為“誹謗無辜的人”, 那樣主語就是“中傷,誹謗”的意思。
例二:Insomnia is the inability of falling asleep or sleeping restlessly.
表語意為“睡不著”,主語Insomnia無疑就是“失眠”了。
十二、生活常識
根據日常生活中的常識和相關的背景知識,大膽想像,合理發揮,推測出生詞的含義。
例一:Warm-blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest ring the day, often staying in cool underground burrows.
根據常識我們知道鼠類一般藏在洞里,因此生詞burrows的意思為“地洞,洞穴”。
例二:The snake slithered through the grass.
根據有關蛇的生活習性的知識,我們可以推測出slithered的詞義為“爬行”。
十三、構詞法
英語詞彙的構詞法主要有三種:派生,合成,轉化構詞。
我們主要利用派生構詞來推斷生詞的含義。
詞根是單詞最基本的部分,表達單詞的基本含義。在詞根的前面或後面加上詞綴,可以用來引申或轉變原詞的意義。一般來說,前綴改變詞根的意思;後綴改變詞性。
常見的前綴有:super- 超……
mini- 小型的……
re- 再,又……
post- 後
pre- 前
fore- 前
under- 下
後綴有:
-ment 名詞的後綴
-less 不,無
-proof 防……的
例句:Remember that people on line may not be who they seem. Because you can’t see or even hear the person, it would be easy for someone to misrepresent himself/herself. Thus someone says “She is a 12-year-old girl ”could really be an old man.
根據語境和misrepresent的構詞方式, 前綴mis-的意思是“誤,錯-的”,詞根represent的意思是“表達,展示”之意, 合在一起我們知道misrepresent的詞義為“誤述,歪曲”。
十四、文中代詞指代的推測
高考題年年考查對文中代詞實際指代的對象。一般來說它實際指代的對象在含有代詞的句子前半部分或前一句話。我們把它叫做“前指”。
例一:Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped at noon as the press rported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal.”We have more important things to do,” he said.
根據我們上面講到的,they應該指上一句中的Demands for pigeon-delivered money。
例二:The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”, or false clues, to mislead them.
根據語境them.指代上文的readers。
雖然掌握一些猜詞技巧能幫助我們猜測詞義,但是我們不能只依靠這些。最重要的還是掌握全篇文。
I. 如何做好英語閱讀理解詞義猜測題
猜測詞義題
在閱讀中我們經常會遇到許多生詞。這時許多同學立即翻閱詞典,查找詞義。這樣做不但費時費力,而且影響閱讀速度、影響對語篇的整體把握。事實上,閱讀材料中的每個詞與它前後的詞語或句子甚至段落都有聯系。我們可以利用語境(各種已知信息)推測、判斷某些生詞的詞義。近年來全國統一高考中加大了對考生猜詞義能力的考查,因此,掌握一定的猜詞技巧,對突破高考閱讀理解、提高我們的英語語言能力都有非常重要的意義。
常見的題干有:
1) Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the word?
2) The word... could best be replaced by.
3) In the... paragraph, the word... means (refers to).
4) According to the passage,... probably means.
5) The author uses the word... to mean.
猜測詞義時,一般可利用以下四個方面的線索:
一是針對性的解釋
針對性解釋是作者為了更好的表達思想,在文章中對一些重要的概念、難懂的術語或高深的詞彙等所做的通俗化的解釋。這些解釋提供的信息明確具體,所使用的語言通俗易懂,利用它們來猜測詞義就非常簡單。
1.根據定義(definition)猜測詞義
如果生詞有一個句子(定語從句或是同位語<同位語前常有 that="" is="" to="" in="" other="" or="" i.g.="">或是同位語從句)或段落來定義,或使用破折號,冒號,分號後的內容和引號括弧中的內容加以解釋和定義,那麼理解這個句子或段落本身就是推斷詞義。定義常用的謂語動詞多為:be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, be called, define, represent, refer to, signify 等。
例1.Do you know what a territory is ? A territory is an area that an animal ,usually the male, claims(聲稱)as its own.(2005年湖北卷)
[分析]由定義可推知,這里territory指的是:動物的地盤。
例2.In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today.(2005年浙江卷)
[分析]由同位語an endangered wild cat我們很快猜出生詞ocelots的義域:一種瀕臨滅絕野貓。
例3. Here is The Pines ,whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou ,wild boar ,and reindeer with surprising sauces . (2004年福建卷)
According to the passage ,The Pines is a .
A.place in which you can see many mobile homes
B.mountain where you can get a good view of the valley
C.town which happens to be near the Banff National Park
D.restaurant where you can ask for some special kinds of food
[分析]通過whose引導的定語從句,我們可以推測到:The Pines 是一家餐館的名字,由此不難推出理解題的答案為:D。
2.根據舉例猜測詞義
恰當的舉例能夠提供猜測生詞的重要線索。
例4. The course gives you chances to know great power polities between nation states. It will provide more space to study particular issues such as relationship among countries in the European Union, third world debt, local and international disagreement, and the work of such international bodies as the United Nations, the European Union, NATO, and the World Bank.(2004年遼寧卷)
[分析]根據such as 後面列舉的一系列例子,我們應該能推斷出句中的issue 是指議題。
二是內在邏輯關系
根據內在邏輯關系推測詞義是指應用語言知識分析和判斷相關信息之間存在的邏輯關系,然後根據邏輯聯系推斷生詞詞義或大致義域。
1.根據對比、比較關系猜測詞義
在一個句子或段落中,有對兩個事物或現象進行對比性的描述,我們可以根據生詞的反義詞猜測其詞義。表示對比關系的詞彙和短語主要有:unlike, not, but, however, despite, in spite of, in contrast 等。表示對比關系的句子結構:while 引導的並列句。同對比關系相反,比較關系表示意義上的相似關系。表示比較關系的詞和短語主要有:similarly, like, just as, also, as well as 等。
例5.A childs birthday party doesnt have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun.
What does the underlined word hassle (paragraph 1) probably mean? (2002年NMET)
A.a party designed by specialists B.a plan requiring careful thought
C.a situation causing difficulty or trouble D.a demand made by guests
[分析]根據對比關系,這里hassle 和 a basket of fun 是相反的意義,很容易判斷理解題的答案為C。
例6.Green loves to talk, and his brothers are similarly loquacious.
該句中副詞similarly表明短語loves to talk和loquacious 之間的比較關系,其意義相近。由此我們可推斷出loquacious的意思是健談的。
2.根據因果關系猜測詞義
在句子或段落中,若兩個事物現象之間構成因果關系,我們可以根據這種邏輯關系推測生詞詞義。
例7.feel that since you are my superior , it would be presumptuous of me to tell you what to do .
(2005年上海卷)
The word presumptuous in the middle of the passage is closest in meaning to .
A.full of respect B.too confident and rude C.lacking in experience D.too shy and quiet
[分析]根據since 引導的原因狀語從句的內容(既然你是我的上司),我們可以推斷這里presumptuous的意思是:冒失的,放肆的意思,後半句的意思是:我告訴你怎麼做會是一種放肆/冒失的行為。對應的理解題答案為:B。
例8.Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots,or young leaves.(2005年江西卷)
根據原因狀語從句的內容,我們可以判斷Pruning的意思是:修剪(樹枝等)的意思。
3.根據說明、並列、同等同義近義、、反義等關系猜測詞義
在句子或段落中,我們可以利用熟悉的詞語,根據語言環境所表面的關系猜測詞義。
例9.William Shakespeare said. The web of our life is of a mingled yarn(紗線),good and ill together. (2005年江蘇卷)
The underlined word mingled in the last paragraph most probably means .
A.simple B.mixed C.sad D.happy
[分析]句中good and ill together 更具體地說明了a mingled yarn的意義,據此我們不難推測mingled的意思是:混合的,交織的。
例10.Is it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs ? The answer is yes, according to the researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers. (2004年湖北卷)
[分析]根據and three other medical centers 這種並列關系,我們很容易推斷出:Johns Hopkins是一家醫療中心。
例11.There is no reason to insult and defame the man simply because you do not agree with him.
[分析]根據與insult侮辱的同等關系猜測defame為詆毀 ,中傷或誹謗
例12.The game Americans call soccer is known around the world as football.
[分析]運用與football的同義關系推斷為足球。
例13.The house stood at the end of a quiet neat street. The little dwelling,however,looked neglected and cheerless.
[分析]運用與The house近義關系可以推斷dwelling與住所有關
例14.Most women in China ---ecated and illiterated, urban and rural, the young and old-----work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers.
[分析]後面的urban and rural, the young and old之間都有反義關系,運用這個關系可以推斷illiterated為未接受過教育的,即文盲
三是通過構詞法
在猜測詞義過程中,我們還可以依靠構詞法方面的知識,從生詞本身猜測詞義。
1.根據前綴猜測詞義
例15.Do you have any strong opinion on co-ecational or single-sex schools?
根據詞根ecational (教育的),結合前綴co-(共同,一起),我們便可以猜出co-ecational的意思是:男女同校教育的意思。(2005年江西卷)
2.根據後綴猜測詞義
例16. It's a quiet, comfortable hotel overlooking (俯瞰) the bay in an uncommercialized Cornish fishing village on England's most southerly point.(2005年廣東卷)
後綴 -ise/ize意思是使成為;使化,結合詞根commercial(商業的),不難猜出 uncommercialized 的意思是:未被商業化的。
3.根據復合詞的各部分猜測詞義
例17.Good tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well – designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward(別扭的)hand positions.(2005年北京卷)
Well-designed 或許是個生詞,但我們分析該詞的結構後,就能推測出其含義。它由well (好,優秀)和design (設計)兩部分組成,合在一起便是設計精巧的意思。
例18. We live in a technological society where most goods are mass-proced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people that craft (手藝) no longer exists. (2004年浙江卷)
根據合成詞中的mass (大量的)和proce (生產),我們可以推測 mass-proce的意思是:大批量生產;規模生產的意思。
4.猜測詞性變換新詞含義
例19.The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. (2004年山東卷)
head本為名詞,表頭。由the bus和home的語境邏輯可以推斷,該句head為動詞,表方向,結合全句可譯為開往、駛向。
例20.I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. (2004全國卷Ⅱ)
cloud本為名詞,表雲。分析語境邏輯可知,憂慮會影響一個人的判斷,因此該句clouded應譯為使難以。
J. 高中英語閱讀理解的詞義猜測題怎麼做
閱讀理解能力測試的主要要求及應試策略 王俊 高中英語閱讀理解能力測試的主要要求: 1.讀材料的主旨和大意,以及用以說明主旨和大意的事實和細節。 2.既理解具體的事實,也理解抽象的概念。 3.既理解字面的意思,也理解深層的含義,包括作者的態度,意圖等。 4.既理解某句,某段的含義,也理解全篇的邏輯關系,並據此進行推理和判斷。 5.既能根據所提供的信息去理解,也能結合中學生應有的常識去理解。根據這五項要求,我們可將閱讀理解多項選擇題歸納為以下幾種題型:細節理解題,詞句理解題,主題、主旨題,猜測詞義題,推理判斷題。下面作者結合平時教學中的經驗體會,談一談做英語 閱讀理解題的技巧與策略。 一、 先看題干,帶著問題讀文章。 即先看試題,再讀文章。閱讀題干,首先要掌握問題的類型,分清是客觀信息題還是主觀判斷題。客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案;而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調,作者未加陳述的觀點以及貫穿全文的中心主旨的理解等,這類題必須經過對作者的態度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等。其次,了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息,然後有針對性地對文章進行掃讀,對有關信息進行快速定位,再將相關信息進行整合、甄別、分析、對比,有根有據地排除干擾項,選出正確答案。此法加強了閱讀的針對性,提高了做題的准確率,節省了寶貴的時間。特別適用於對 圖形表格類題材的理解。 二、 速讀全文,了解大意知主題。 閱讀的目的是獲取信息。一個人的閱讀能力的高低決定了他能否快速高效吸收有用信息。閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面。閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力。沒有一定的閱讀速度就不能順利地輸入信息,更談不上運用英語。近幾年的高考閱讀速度大約是每分鍾40個詞左右。考生必須在十分有限的時間內運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時空、順序、情 節、人物、觀點,並且理清文章脈絡,把握語篇實質。 抓主題句這是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主題句一般出現在文章的開頭和結尾。用歸納法撰寫的文章,都是表述細節的句子在前,概述性的句子居後。此時主題句就是文章的最後一句。通常用演繹法撰寫的文章,大都遵循從一般到個別的寫作程序,即從概述開始,隨之輔以細說。這時,主題句就是文章的第一句。當然也有些文章沒有主題句,需要讀者自己去歸納。主題句往往對全文起提示、啟迪、概括、歸納之作用,主旨大意題,歸納概括題,中心思想題往 往直接可從主題句中找到答案。 試試看,你能找出下面一段文章的主題句嗎? The panda is a popular animal. Stories about the panda in the Washington Zoo are always front page news and important features on television newscasts. Stuffed pandas are among the most popular toys for children, and panda postcards are always in demand in zoo gift shops. 不難看出,文章的第一句是主題句,後面的句子都圍繞這個句子展 開。 三、 詳讀細節,理順思路與文章脈絡。 文章絕不是互不相乾的句子雜亂無章的堆砌。作者為文,有脈可循。如記敘文多以人物為中心,以時間或空間為線索,按事件的發生、發展、結局展開故事;論述體則包含論點、論據、結論三大要素,通過解釋、舉例來闡述觀點。你可根據文章的特點,詳讀細節,以動詞、時間、地點、事件、因果等為線索,找出關鍵詞語,運用"畫 圖列表法",勾畫出一幅完整清晰的文章主題和細節的認知圖。 例如:SEFC 3A Feed the World(2) 本文通過四個不同的國家和地區,總結了世界飢荒的主要原因。運 用圖表,文章的結構和思路就一目瞭然了。 Reasons for world hunger In EU: 1) Food is bought from farmers and thrown away. 2) Farmers are paid not to grow crops. In India: Most land is owned by rich land owners. In less developed countries: Farmers are forced to plant cash crops. In western countries: Grain is fed to beef cattle. 四、 邏輯推理,做好深層理解題。 在實際閱讀中,有時作者並未把意圖說出來,閱讀者要根據字面意思,通過語篇邏輯關系,研究細節的暗示,推敲作者的態度,理解文章的寓義。這就是通常所說的深層理解。深層理解主要包括歸納概括題(中心思想,加標題等)和推理判斷題,是閱讀理解中的難點。深層理解是一種創造性的思維活動。它必須忠實於原文;要以文章提供的事實和線索為依據,立足已知推斷未知,不能憑空想像,隨意揣測;它要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理,不能就事論事,以偏概全。只有吃透文章的字面意思,推理才 有前提和基礎。推理題在提問中常用的詞有: infer, imply, suggest, indicate等。例如高考題: Annealing Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. If metal is heated and then cooled very quickly, for example by dipping (浸) it in water, it will be very hard but also very brittle-that is, it will break easily. Metal that has been annealed is soft but does not break as easily. It is possible to make metal as hard or as soft as it is wished, by annealing it. The metal is heated, and allowed to cool slowly for a certain length of time. The longer the heated metal takes to cool slowly, the softer it becomes. Annealing can also be used on other material, such as glass. 1. Why do people put hot metal in water? A. To make it hard. B. To make it soft. C. To make it cool. D. To make it brittle. 2. In annealing, the required hardness of metal depends on __. A. the quantity of water used B. the temperature of the metal C. the softness of the metal D. the timing of the operation 3. As suggested by the text, how can glass be made less brittle? A. It can be heated and then cooled quickly. B. It can be cooled and then heated slowly. C. It can be heated and then cooled slowly. D. It can be cooled and then heated quickly. 1、答案為A,此題屬推斷歸納題。文中第二句說如果把金屬加熱,然後迅速放到水裡冷卻,也就會變得非常硬,但也變得脆。hard 是工藝的主觀目的。brittle是伴隨的客觀結果,故選A而不選D。B 項明顯錯誤;C項是手段不是目的,因此,都可排除。 2、答案為D,此題屬概括歸納題。timing 是時間的選擇。本答案的依據是5和6兩句,"The metal is heated,…length of time.","The longer…the softer it becomes."cool 的時間是可以控制的,時間越長越 soft,即硬度就越低。由此我們可得出結論:在退火過程 中,金屬的硬度是受到冷卻的時間長短影響的。 3、答案為C此題屬推理判斷題。文中提到"metal"。最後一句說退 火工藝同樣可用於象玻璃一類的其他材料。文中我們已知"annealing"就是先"heat"後"cool slowly"。由此推斷C是正確的。 五、 猜詞悟義,掃除閱讀攔路虎。 猜詞是應用英語的重要能力,也是高考中常用的題型。它不但需要准確無誤地理解上下文,而且要有較大的泛讀量,掌握或認識較多的課外詞彙。我們要學會"順藤摸瓜",通過構詞,語法,定義,同 位,對比,因果,常識,上下文等線索確定詞義。 a. 定義法 如:Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.句子給予annealing 以明確的定義,即"退火"。 It will be very hard but also very brittle------that is , it will break easily.從後面的解釋中我們可以了解到brittle 是"脆"的意思。 The herdsman , who looks after sheep,earns about 650yuan a year.定語從句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的詞義為"牧人"。 b 同位法 如:They traveled a long way , at last got to a castle, a large building in old times.同位語部分a large building in old times 給出了 castle 的確切詞義,即"城堡"。 We are on the night shift----from midnight to 8 a.m.---this week.兩個破折號之間的短語很清楚地表明night shift 是"夜班"的意思。 c. 對比法 如:She is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the middle of her first class. but 一詞表轉折,因此but 前後的意思正相反。後半句的意思是她今天"第一節上了一半才來",因此反向推理,可得出她平時一向"准時"的結論。 d. 構詞法(前綴、後綴、復合、派生等) Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years. But the next hundred? possibility 是 possible 的同根名詞, 據此可以判斷定 possibility 意思是"可能性"。 e. 因果法 如:The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken。Sometimes the weakness was permanent。So the player could never play the sport again.從後面的結果"永遠不能再運動"中,可以推測 permanent 的意思為"永遠的,永久的"。 六、 養成習慣,潛移默化結碩果。 1、養成默讀習慣,使注意力集中的文字元號上,糾正唇讀,心讀,喉讀等做法,以免分散精力,影響閱讀速度。 2、克服指讀、回視、重讀等不良習慣,因為這樣容易使理解只停留在某個詞或句子上,使獲得的信息支離破碎。要善於抓住句子中的核心詞,從一個句子快速地掃視到另一個句子,進行連貫性理解。 如:"Would you like to do some shopping together with me? If you are free, please ring me back to tell me about it."這個句子,只要掃視劃線的核心詞,其語義就基本上清楚了。 英語閱讀能力的培養是一個漸進的復雜過程,要養成每天閱讀英語的習慣,循序漸進,持之以恆,精泛結合,廣泛獵奇。在潛移默化 中你會感覺到你的閱讀能力又有了長足的提高。
