高考英语 阅读理解的猜词技巧

高考英语阅读理解的猜词技巧

猜测词义,是指在阅读过程中根据对语篇提供的信息、行文逻辑、背景知识及语言结构等的综合理解去猜测或推断某个生词、难词、关键词的词义。英语词语的意义非常丰富,语境不同,词义也就不同。所以解决此类题目要掌握一定的猜词策略。

I.根据上下文语境进行猜测

任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的,都跟句子所在的段落及整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索,进行合乎逻辑的综合分析而推测词义,是阅读过程中的一大关键,也是高考的热点。如:

例1.(全国卷,B篇“Organic produce is always better,”Gold said,“The food is free of pesticides(农药,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally(本地grown and seasonal,so it is more tasty.”Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend,and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business

62.What is the meaning of “the organic trend”as the words are used in the text?

A.growing interest in organic food

B.better quality of organic food

C.rising market for organic food

D.higher prices of organic food

例2.(2003年全国卷,C篇Fermat's Last Theorem(定理.First put forward by the French mathematician Pierrede Fermat in the seventeenth century,the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds,including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem,and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique.

65.Which of the following best exp lains the me aning of the word “baffle” as used in the text?

A.To encourage people to raise questions.

B.To cause difficulty in understanding.

C.To provide a person with an explanation.

D.To limit people's imagination.

例3.If he thinks he can invite me out, he is all we t. I don’t like to be with him.

A. drunk

B. sweating

C. happy

D. mistaken

练习:1.A deaf and dump guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails.

2. The climate of the west coast is the most moderate in Canada, summers are cool and fairly dry and winters are mild, cloudy and wet. Even in mid-winter, the temperature is usually above freezing.

3. All the houses in the city collapsed during the earthquake.

4. For people who live within a stone’s throw from the office to be late to work is unforgivable.

5. The conflagration was so fierce that with just a few second one could see towering flames where the house had stood and the smoke which filled the sky could be seen for miles and miles.

(二根据定义或解释猜测词义

有些阅读文章,尤其是新闻报导及科普类文章中的有些生词,往往在其后有对该词进行解释说明性的短语或句子,如to be, that is , mean, stand for, namely, to refer to, to mean ,in other

words等,有时也以同位语、定语从句的形式出现,或用破折号、括号来表示,这时可利用这种关系或解释对前面或后面的词义进行猜测。

例如: 1.(福建卷,A篇 The schools are reluctant to take time off--even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.

59.The underlined word“reluctant”in the passage may probably mean_______.

A. kind

B. unwilling

C. free

D. careless

2.Some ships carried cargo such as coal, oil and military supplies(军用物资,while others carried only passengers.

练习:1.Yet, shopkeepers may have to spend extra hours to deal with problems, such as shoplifter, who always take away things from the shop without paying for them.

2.The best football, basketball and tennis players can become professional that means they will have a career in sports and will get money when they play.

3.Kleptomania is an illness of the mind that gives a person the desire to steal.

4.The word “lefty” means a person who uses his or her left hand for writing, eating and other jobs.

5.Doctors recommended that everyone exercise every day, particular those who spend many hours doing sedentary activities like reading, typing or sewing.

6.A person who has the SARS (非典型肺炎may have symptoms like coughing and a high temperature.

(三根据反义词或反义关系

有的文章作者为了增强表达效果,会用一对反义词揭示事物的不同点,形成鲜明的对比,这时只要把握其中的一词,就不难推出另一词的含义,这种句子多见unlike, although, but, yet, while, on the contrary, on the other hand, for one thing, for another, instead of, rather than等信息词。

例如:One idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reverse, business polite, life itself is games which we must normally play with very imperfect information.

A. Quite right.

B. Time enough.

C. Most unlike.

D. Just the opposite.

练习:1.Unlike the Unite States where many different nationalities make up the population, Japan’s population is quite homogeneous.

2. Thousands of people got stuck in lifts. But no one panicked, we passed the time telling stories.

3. Most of us agreed; however, Gary dissented.

4. He is homely, not at all as handsome as his brother.

(四. 根据同义词或近义词关系

常见的引出同义词的标志性词语有or, like, similarly等。

例如:Millions of animals die each year on roads, the highway administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat exist in the US today. The main reason? Roadkill. 练习:1.Not every historic mansion, church, battle site, theatre and other public halls can be preserved.

2.We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

3.Their friends laughed at them, and my sister felt wretched, very unhappy.

(五根据构词法猜测词义

阅读中常会遇到一些由所熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词,可利用构词法知识来推测其意思。

例如:Exhibition officials said that a person bitten by one of these snakes would need at least 80ml of an anti-poison medicine to be saved.

练习:1.Iran quake leaves city flattened.

2.When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life?

3.The aging of population will affect American society in many ways----education, medicine and business.

(六根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测

代词one,it,that,he,him或them等在英语文章中使用频繁,可以指上文提到的人或事物。有时代词与指代的对象相隔较远,要认真查找;有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结,才能得出代词所指代的事。

例如:(全国卷,C篇

Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story.And even if they start again,Chen holds little hope of catch ing the criminal.“We have more important things to do,”he said.

52.The underlined word“they”in the la st paragraph refers to____.

A. criminals

B. pigeons

C. the stolen cars

D. demands for money

(七利用例证性线索

某些冷僻的词汇后面会举一个例子,使词汇具体易懂。等连接性词语往往用来举例说明前面较难理解的名词。例如:

You can take any of the periodicals: The World of English, Foreign Language Teaching in School, or English Learning.

练习:1.Many United Nations emloyees are polyglots: Mr.Simpson, for example, speaks five languages fluently.

2.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.

3.When writing an article, we often use similes, such as “brave as a lion” and “quick like lightning”.

(八根据转折、因果关系进行猜测

根据上下句的连接词,如but,however,otherwise,while,rather than,far from等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定另一句的含义。

例如:(北京卷,D篇

However obvious these facts may appear at first glance,they are actully not so obvious as they seem expect when we take special pains to think about the subject.

71.In paragraph 3,“take special pains”probably means“_____”.

A.try very hard

B.take our time

C.are very unhappy

高考英语阅读理解的猜词技巧 猜测词义，是指在阅读过程中根据对语篇提供的信息、行文逻辑、背景知识及语言结构等的综合理解去猜测或推断某个生词、难词、关键词的词义。英语词语的意义非常丰富，语境不同，词义也就不同。所以解决此类题目要掌握一定的猜词策略。 I.根据上下文语境进行猜测 任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析而推测词义，是阅读过程中的一大关键，也是高考的热点。如： 例1.(2002年全国卷，B篇)“Organic produce is always better，”Gold said，“The food is free of pesticides(农药)，and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally(本地)grown and seasonal，so it is more tasty.”Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend，and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business 62.What is the meaning of “the organic trend”as the words are used in the text？ A.growing interest in organic food B.better quality of organic food C.rising market for organic food D.higher prices of organic food 例2.(2003年全国卷,C篇)Fermat's Last Theorem(定理).First put forward by the French mathematician Pierrede Fermat in the seventeenth century，the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds，including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem，and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. 65.Which of the following best exp lains the meaning of the word “baffle” as used in the text？ A.To encourage people to raise questions.

The climate of the west coast is the most moderate in Canada, summers are cool and fairly dry and winters are mild, cloudy and wet. Even in mid-winter, the temperature is usually above freezing. 3. All the houses in the city collapsed during the earthquake. 4. For people who live within a stone’s throw from the office to be late to work is unforgivable. 5. The conflagration was so fierce that with just a few second one could see towering flames where the house had stood and the smoke which filled the sky could be seen for miles and miles. （二）根据定义或解释猜测词义 有些阅读文章，尤其是新闻报导及科普类文章中的有些生词，往往在其后有对该词进行解释说明性的短语或句子，如to be, that is , mean, stand for, namely, to refer to, to mean ,in other

大学英语四六级阅读猜词技巧解读.doc

大学英语四六级阅读猜词技巧解读 在英语学习中，我们自然会遇到许多生词。这时，许多人立即翻阅字典，查找词义。其实，这种做法是不科学的。它不但费时费力，而且影响阅读速度。事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落有着互相制约的关系。我们可以利用语境(各种已知信息)推测、判断某些生词的词义。猜测词义时，可利用以下线索：一、针对性解释针对性解释是作者为了更好的表达思想，在文章中对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或词汇等所作的解释。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性，利用它们猜词义比较容易。1、根据定义猜测词义如果生词是句子或段落所解释的定义，理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。【例一】anthropology is the scientific study of man.由定义可知，anthropology就是"研究人类的科学"。【例二】In slang the term "jam" constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation.同样，从上下文的定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是"困境"。定义句的谓语动词多为：be， mean， deal with， be considered， to be， refer to， be called， be known as， define， represent， signify，constitute等。2、根据复述猜测词义虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细，但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。复述部分可以适当词、短语或是从句。1)同位语【例一】Semantics， the study of the meaning of words， is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently.

高中英语阅读理解中猜词题的解题技巧

高中英语阅读理解猜词题的解题技巧 摘要：本文针对高中阅读理解中的猜词题介绍了几种做题方法，并列举了一些实例进行了分析。 关键词：猜词题猜词义做题方法 在英语学习中，我们会遇到许多生词。这时，也不必立即翻阅字典。我们可以利用语境，根据前后词、句子、以及相关信息推测、判断生词的词义。 高中英语阅读理解题中，我们经常碰到猜测词义的题型。在做这类题时，我们可以利用以下一些方法： 一根据解释猜词义 在文章中，作者为了更好的表达思想，对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或词汇等要进行进一步的更明确的解释。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性，我们可以利用它们比较容易地猜出词义。 1、根据定义猜测词义 如果句子或段落是生词的定义，理解句子或段落本身就是词语的含义。例如：The rooster is the national emblem of France thanks to a wordplay: the Latin word meaning coq ,or rooster. rooster 其实是对coq解释，因此两者的意思都为cock。 2、根据同位语、定语猜测词义 虽然同位语、定语不如定义那样严谨、详细，但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。例如，同位语in fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today.此例中，我们不难看出an endangered wild cat是ocelot 的同位语，也不难看出ocelot的意思。在构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接，有时也使用破折号、冒号、分号、引号和括号等。又如Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day ,an extremely exciting horserace.从an exciting horserace ,towards the evening ,of the opening day 等判断，应该是首日的最后一场的压台戏出场了。需要注意的是：同位语前还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say i.e. 等副词或短语出现。在定语从句There are not many factories in Orkney, just two distilleries which make whisky and a few small …中,根据从句which make whisky 可以判断distillery 是a place where wine is made。 3、根据举例猜测词义 恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索，例如：his family took him ,as a boy,

英语阅读中的猜词技巧

英语阅读中的猜词技巧：阅读是一个综合概念, 其能力的强弱关系到读者充足的词汇量、语言知识及背景知识。但是, 只有这些知识, 还不能顺利完成阅读任务。本文侧重对英语阅读中猜测技巧进行论述和介绍, 以求帮助学生提高阅读速度和理解能力。 大学英语教学大纲指出: 大学英语教学的目的是培养学生具有较强的阅读能力。!阅读是一个综合概念, 其能力的强弱关系到读者充足的词汇量、语言知识及背景知识。但是, 只有这些知识, 还不能顺利完成阅读任务。面对不同题材、不同话题, 我们即使已经掌握了上万个词汇量, 在阅读中, 还自然会遇到许多生词, 查阅字典固然是一种方法, 但我们不能也不可能每遇到一个生词就去查字典, 它不仅费时费力, 而且影响阅读速度和兴趣, 特别是在各类英语考试或竞赛中, 更不可能用此方法解决。理解词义是培养理解能力的首要基本功。我们除了平时下大力气来学习词汇外, 还要掌握阅读中猜测生词和理解词义的方法和技巧。 笔者根据几年的教学实践, 针对英语教学中猜词技巧的训练, 提出几点体会, 以求帮助学生提高阅读速度和理解能力。 一、弄清词形和词性 文章是由词组成的。弄清词性是理解词义的基本常识, 对于大体理解文章至关重要。一般而言, 名词, 充当主语、宾语或表语, 通常表示人或物,或某种抽象概念; 动词, 一般充当谓语, 表示某种行为; 形容词, 一般充当表语或定语成分, 表示性质、属性、大小、颜色等限定性特征; 副词, 通常充当状语, 修饰形容词或副词, 表示频率或程度; 介词, 除从属或固定搭配外, 多半跟时间、地点词组搭配。再者, 英语的词性往往可以从词尾来判断, 如具有- ica,l - fu,l - ous等词尾的词往往是形容词; 具有- ness, - ion, - ity等词尾的词绝大部分是名词。另一方面, 词性及其在句子中的作用, 常可由它前后的标志词!来判断, 如if in to, from, with 等介词和名词、代词组成短语; if when, unt il等可能引出从句; a，its等词后面往往是名词; can,may, must migh t等词后面一般是动词。 例如: 1. Cheryl Spanger suffers from HIV, staying at home for nearly 3 years.Cheryl Spanger和HIV 都可判断其名词, Ch ery l Spanger处在主语地位,HIV 处于宾语位子, 有谓语动词suffers from和staying at home可推断CherylSpanger是指人, 同时也可由su ffers from 可推断H IV是某种疾病或痛苦, 句子就可理解完整了。 2. He shed from the award ceremony andwatch ed itonTV at the back of thegymn asium.Shed 在句中处于谓语地位, 表示主语所发出的某种行为, 根据整句意思, 大体推测其意为离开!, 句子就可大致理解过关了。 3. If you practice speak ing Eng lish con sistently, you. llmak e i.tCons is ten tly是副词, 修饰practice, 表示p ract ice的程度, 句子就可轻松理解过关。 4. Because of th is posit ive method, I eagerly an swered all th e quest ion s.Pos it ive 是形容词, 表示某种性质情况, 根据上下文即可推测其义为好的!这方面的意思, 这与其确切含义积极的、正面的!十分接近, 句子就可顺利理解过关。 二、利用构词法猜测生词

高中英语阅读理解的答题方法和技巧

高中英语阅读理解的答题方法和技巧 一、先看题干，带着问题读文章。 即先看试题，再读文章。阅读题干，首先要掌握问题的类型，分清是客观信息题还是主观判断题。客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调，作者未加陈述的观点以及贯穿全文的中心主旨的理解等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率，节省了宝贵的时间。特别适用于对图形表格类题材的理解。 二、速读全文，了解大意知主题。 阅读的目的是获取信息。一个人的阅读能力的高低决定了他能否快速高效吸收有用信息。阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力。没有一定的阅读速度就不能顺利地输入信息，更谈不上运用英语。近几年的高考阅读速度大约是每分钟40个词左右。考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

抓主题句这是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法。主题句一般出现在文章的开头和结尾。用归纳法撰写的文章，都是表述细节的句子在前，概述性的句子居后。此时主题句就是文章的最后一句。通常用演绎法撰写的文章，大都遵循从一般到个别的写作程序，即从概述开始，随之辅以细说。这时，主题句就是文章的第一句。当然也有些文章没有主题句，需要读者自己去归纳。主题句往往对全文起提示、启迪、概括、归纳之作用，主旨大意题，归纳概括题，中心思想题往往直接可从主题句中找到答案。 三、详读细节，理顺思路与文章脉络。 文章绝不是互不相干的句子杂乱无章的堆砌。作者为文，有脉可循。如记叙文多以人物为中心，以时间或空间为线索，按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事；论述体则包含论点、论据、结论三大要素，通过解释、举例来阐述观点。你可根据文章的特点，详读细节，以动词、时间、地点、事件、因果等为线索，找出关键词语，运用"画图列表法"，勾画出一幅完整清晰的文章主题和细节的认知图。 四、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。 在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。这就是通常所说的深层理解。深层理解主要包括归纳概括题（中心思想，加标题等）和推理判断题，是阅读理解中的难点。深层理解是一
