高考英语 词义猜测题

2012年高考英语 词义猜测题

词义猜测题主要考查考生根据文章内容和所学知识推测词义的能力，包括考查生词词义或熟词新义，或是一些短语的引申意义或是一句话的含义。近几年的高考阅读理解题中，词义猜测类题越来越受到命题者的青睐，这就要求广大考生多多练习。

推测生词或短语的意义

阅读理解题中所设置的词义猜测类题多是对生词、短语、指示代词的猜测。一方面，命题者要求考生所猜测的单词或短语可能是已学过的或是考生较熟悉的，但高考所考查的是不太常见的意思；另一方面命题者要求考生所猜测的单词或短语可能是考生没有学过的。此时，对单词或短语的猜测不要停留在字面上,要根据语境来判断。考生可以通过构词法知识分析生词词义,或通过上下文尤其是生词所在的句子以及其前后两句话猜测词义。还可以通过联想进行推测,即回想已知词汇中是否存在拼写与该生词类似的词。常用的几种猜词方法如下：

1.利用副词或连词的转折、因果等关系

有些词虽然不能直接猜测出其意义，但在上下文中能找到一些与之具有对比关系的[JP3]词，通过了解这些词的意义，就可以推断出所考查词的意思。考生通过这种对比关系，就很容易猜出生词的词义了。还可以通过近义词或反义词提

供的信息猜测生词的词义。

俗话说，＂有因必有果，有果必有因＂。根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。如because, since 与as 是连接原因状语从句的从属连词;so 是连接

表示结果状语从句的连词;so...that与such...that中的that是连接结果状语从句的连词。当这些信息词出现在有生词的句子中，考生通过因果关系，依据已知部分

就能猜出生词的词义。

2.构词法(此法亦是记忆单词之妙法)

合成法。合成词是由两个或两个以上的单词构成的。遇到这类生词时可根据合成法来猜测词义。

英语的合成词有合成形容词、合成名词等。

合成形容词的构成方法如下：

（1）形容词+现在分词，如good-looking好看的;

（2）副词+现在分词,如hard-working辛勤的，工作努力的;

（3）名词+现在分词，如peace-loving爱好和平的;

（4）名词+过去分词,如state-owned国有的。

合成名词的常见构成方式有：

(1)名词+名词，如silkworm蚕;

(2)形容词+名词,如shorthand速记；

（3现在分词+名词，如waiting room 候车室，sleeping pill安眠药；

（4动词+名词，如pickpocket扒手。

派生法。派生法，即在词根的基础上加上前缀、后缀，便可构成另一单词。只要掌握了词根和前后缀的意义，就可猜测出它们组成的新词的词义。

(1)表示否定意义的前缀常用的有dis-, il-, im-, in-, ir-, mis-, non-, un-等，在单词的前面加这类前缀常构成与该词意义相反的新词。如appear出现→disappear 消失，correct正确的→incorrect不正确的。

(2)构成名词的后缀常用的有-ence（表示行动或状况），-er/-or(从事某事的人)；-ese(……国的人)；-ess(女……，雌……)等。如differ不同于→difference区别,wri te写→writer作家,Japan日本→Japanese日本人,act表演→actress女演员。(3)构成动词的后缀常用的有-en(使成为，变得)；-fy(使……化)；-ize(成为)等。如dark→darken变黑,beauty→beautify美化,pure→purify净化,real→realize意识到。

中学英语中常见的前缀和后缀:

super-（超级，上层）；

inter-（在……之间）；

-able（能……的）；

mini-（小的，短的）；

micro-（微小的）；

re-（再，重新）；

sub-（分支，在……下面）；

co-（共同）；post(后)；

pre-（先于）；

trans-（超越,进入）；

under-（在……之下,不足）；

-hood（……的状态）；

-ish（有……性质的,有点……的）；

-scope（……镜）；ship（资格,权力,性质）；

-some

-wards

mis-（误，错）；

un-（不,非）；

in-（不,非）；

im-（不, 非）； dis-（不，非，相反）；

non-（无，没有）；

-less （没有, 无）；

anti-（反,对立面）；

Sino-

转化法。 转化法指在词形不变的情况下，一个单词由一种词性转换成另一种词性。如better 是good 或well 的比较级形式，意为"较好的"，而转化为动词后则意为"胜过"；down 作副词时其词义为"在下面"，转化为动词后则意为"击倒"。由此可见，掌握一定的构词法知识，考生就可以很容易猜出词义。

3.利用文中的定义、例子或上下文猜测词义

许多生词可以在文中找到相关的解释或定义，常见的一些标志性词有that is, me an, like 等。也可以利用标点符号，如破折号，或者利用同位语理解词义。有时文中出现一些结论性的词汇，然后通过举例的方式对所列词汇进行具体的例证说明。做题时，考生可以通过作者所列举的具体词汇分析其共同点，抓住其共性，

推测出所给词汇的意义；有时候考生需要结合上下文的语境获取答案。

4.经验、常识法

在阅读的过程中,如遇到生词,考生有时还可以根据自身的直接或间接的经验,或运用自己已有的常识将其推测出来。比如了解一些英美国家的天文地理、风俗习

惯、宗教信仰、社会制度等,可以帮助考生很好地理解文章。

下面列举几个例子，让我们看看高考真题中是如何猜测词义的例I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood wa s spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading a s natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives

(观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. He re too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has som ething to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to fin d his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his ow n world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the

end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

...

42. The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means

" ".

A. an idea

B. a sound quality

C. a way of writing

D. a world to write about

解析C。词义猜测题。根据文中的"Every writer starts off knowing that he ha s something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely..."可以推断出voice在语法功能和语义

上与the right ways相似，所以该词的意思是"写作方式"。

例I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first ti me I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and h ad brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the tra in. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Econo mics.

...

From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I st ared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time....

I looked forward to the return journey.

68. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word "relish

" in the second paragraph?

A. choose

B. enjoy

C. prepare for

D. carry on

解析B。词义猜测题。根据语境" I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not..."以及下文中的" From then on my journey became interesting."可推测"relish"意为"喜欢"，与enj oy同义。故答案为B。

例I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties i n London are very different from those back in New York. There, "I’m havi ng a dinner party" means: "I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you ca n’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrive s. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it’s not like I can say I

have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.

...

60. What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Choice.

B. Try.

C. Style.

D. Goal.

解析B。词义猜测题。根据文章首段的前四句话可知，"我"原来不喜欢派对，但是"我"决定试试,因为"我"现在是在伦敦。结合语境可知，此处shot与try同义，表示"尝试"

第五讲词义猜测类专项练习 【分类真题】 (2019年全国卷II.A） My Favourite Books Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series（系列）of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads. Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening, but they're also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami It’s about two sisters —Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets. Gone Girl Gillian Flynn There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable. The Stand Stephen King This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever. 21.

2020五大方法巧解高考英语词义猜测题

五大方法巧解高考英语词义猜测题 根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义是高考阅读理解题6大出题方向之一，也是考查考生英语语言能力和文化品格的一种重要方式。 词义猜测题可以针对单词、短语的意思进行命题考查，还可以针对某一句子的准确理解 或代词的精确指代进行设题。除了直接考查单词或短语词义猜测外，在阅读理解文章中，总会有一些单词或短语超出了《考试大纲》词汇表的范围，但又没有附加注释，也需要考生猜测，这也是对词义猜测的一种间接考查。 近三年词义猜测题考查频次一览表 2017年2016年2015年 全国卷Ⅰ2（代词that；短语the water catcher） 1(单词courier) 1（单词contributions） 全国卷Ⅱ2（代词that；句子the tables are turned） 2(单词downside;代词 it) 1（短语signed off） 全国卷Ⅲ1（单词displaced） 2（代词them；短语 a pipe dream） / 近几年高考词义猜测题在数量上保持稳定，每套试卷中直接考查词义猜测的试题不超过 2道。但试卷中阅读理解部分生词量略有扩大，试题难度稍有增加。例如在2017年全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解中，有部分超纲单词（如unifying, emotion和insight)给出了汉语注释，另外一部分超纲词汇(如recontextualization)却没有附加注释。这些单词既不在《考试大纲》规定的词 汇表内，又未加注释，这就意味着考生不仅仅需要完成试题中直接的词义猜测题，还需要凭借自己的知识积累和学习能力猜测出未加注生词的词义，这样才能透彻地理解文章，完成阅读理解任务。 词义猜测题考查的范围主要在以下几个方面：生词、短语、熟词生义、句子和代词的指代。 常见的设问形式主要有以下几种： What does the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...refer to? What does the underlined phrase "..." in Paragraph...refer to? What does the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...mean? What does the author mean by "..." in Paragraph...? Which of the following can replace the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...? 无论是直接的词义猜测题，还是阅读中需要理解不认识的生词，我们都可以利用构词法、逻辑关系、语法关系、生活常识、文化背景和上下文语境等方法来猜出单词或短语的意思。预 计2018年此题型题量将会保持稳定，命题重点仍然是考查生词/短语的意思、熟词生义或代词的指代含义。

高考英语阅读理解猜测词义题解题方法

高考英语阅读理解猜测词义题解题方法 对于高考生而言，英语词汇量还是很有限的，想要完全通读高考英语试卷，还要会猜测词义。 猜测词义时，一般可利用以下四个方面的线索： 一是针对性的解释 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、难懂的术语或高深的词汇等所做的通俗化的解释。这些解释提供的信息明确具体，所使用的语言通俗易懂，利用它们来猜测词义就非常简单。 1.根据定义（definition）猜测词义 如果生词有一个句子（定语从句或是同位语同位语前常有 or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say, i.g. 等或是同位语从句）或段落来定义,或使用破折号，冒号，分号后的内容和引号括号中的内容加以解释和定义，那么理解这个句子或段落本身就是推断词义。定义常用的谓语动词多为：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（声称）as its own.（2005年湖北卷） [分析]由定义可推知，这里territory指的是：“动物的地盘”。 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]由同位语an endangered wild cat我们很快猜出生词ocelots的义域：一种濒临灭绝野猫。 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

高考英语阅读理解词义猜测题专题解析2

第一编专题一考点4 A (2019·天津卷，D) Would you BET on the future of this man？He is53years old.Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune.A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning，and he has often been in prison.Driven by heaven－knows－what motives，he determines to write a book. The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than350years.That former prisoner was Cervantes，and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》)．And the story poses an interesting question：why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days，while others go to seed long before? We've all known people who run_out_of_steam before they reach life's halfway mark.I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top.We can't all get there.I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years. Most of us，in fact，progressively narrow the variety of our lives.We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it.Nothing surprises us.We lose our sense of wonder.But，if we are willing to learn，the opportunities are everywhere. The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills.We learn to bear with the things we can't change.We learn to avoid self－pity.We learn that however much we try to please，some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing. With high motivation and enthusiasm，we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However，we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我)，whether to loved ones，to fellow humans，to work，or to some moral concept. Many of us equate(视……等同于)“commitment”with such“caring”occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellence—whether they are driving a truck，or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.They've learned life's most valuable lesson. 文章大意：主题：人与自我(做人与做事)；话题：过有意义的成年人生活。本文是一篇议论文，文章主要论述了如何过一种有意义的成年人生活。

高考英语阅读理解猜测词意(词义)解题策略(附练习答案)

2017届新课标高考英语阅读理解猜测词意（词义）解题策略 高考考情分析解读： 词义猜测题是高考阅读理解题中的一种常见的题型。词义猜测可以是对一个单词的意义推断，也可以是对一个短语或一个句子的意义推断，既可以是生词生义，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。通过对近年新课标全国卷分析统计来看，词义猜测题一般有1－2题。考查相对比较稳定，但难度略有增加，需要在复杂的句式中通过上下文综合分析才能得出答案。在词义猜测题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。 2016年全国卷设问形式例子： (1)What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？(2016年课标全国卷Ⅱ) (2)What does the underline phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean？(2016年课标全国卷Ⅲ) (3)What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to？(2015年课标全国卷Ⅰ) 常见的命题形式有： The underlined word in the second paragraph means “________”． Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph? The underlined word “________” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”． What does the phrase “________”in Paragraph 1 mean? 本学案结构：
