中考英语阅读理解猜词题解题技巧一、了解猜词题的基本要求猜词题是中考英语阅读理解题中常见的一种题型,通常要求考生根据上下文和语墅提示来猜测词语的意思。
考生在解答猜词题时,需要具备一定的词汇量和语境分析能力,同时还需要掌握一些解题技巧,才能更好地完成这类题目。
二、掌握常见的猜词技巧1. 根据上下文猜测词义猜词题通常会提供一段上下文,考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系和语墅提示来猜测词语的意思。
在猜测词义时,可以通过理解段落主题、分析句子结构、推断逻辑关系等方法来获取线索,进而推测词语的含义。
在以下句子中:“He is a very diligent student and always finishes his homework on time.”我们可以通过上下文来猜测diligent的意思,因为上文提到他是一个“非常勤奋的学生”,所以diligent的意思可能是勤奋的、努力的。
2. 利用语境提示进行词义推断除了根据上下文猜测词义外,还可以利用语境提示进行词义推断。
比如一些词语的前后文会提供一些提示性的词语,这些提示性词语往往可以帮助我们推测目标词语的意思。
在以下句子中:“W hen the teacher asked a difficult question, the students looked puzzled.”我们可以通过后面的“looked puzzled”来推测difficult的意思,因为学生们显然是对这个问题感到困惑。
3. 掌握常见词义辨析技巧在解答猜词题时,有些词语的词义可能会让考生感到困惑,这时就需要掌握一些词义辨析技巧。
比如通过对比近义词或反义词的意思,来推测目标词语的含义。
在以下句子中:“The music was so loud that it was almost deafening.”我们可以通过对比loud和deafening的意思,来推测deafening的含义,因为loud表示“大声的”,而deafening应该表示“震耳欲聋的”。
高中英语阅读理解----词义猜测技巧与训练(一)以定义或定语从句为线索猜测词义mean(意指),refer to(指的是),be defined as (被定义为),be known as (被称为),be called (被称为),或者直接给出be例在很多情况下,定语从句直接给出了某一生词的定义,所以,以定语从句为线索猜测词义也是一个行之有效的猜词方法。
例1:The scientists who study insects are called entomologists.分析:根据定语从句提供的线索可以猜出entomologists意为:昆虫学家。
例2:Wrestling is the game which is played by two strong people; one player tried to get the other down on the floor.分析:通过后面的定义解释:Wrestling是“两人进行的,彼此尽力把对方弄倒在地的比赛”,可以猜出wrestling是“摔跤”。
例3:He was a prestidigitator who entertained the children by pulling rabbits out of hats, swallowing fire, and other similar tricks.分析:此句中,who 引导的定语从句对生词“prestidigitator”给出了非常清楚的定义或解释,根据这一定义,读者不难猜出presitidigitator 的词义。
能从帽子里拉出兔子、吞火何玩其他类似的把戏的人不就是变戏法的人吗?因此,“prestidigitator”一词的词义就应是“变戏法者”。
(二)以例举为线索猜测词义恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索,表示列举关系的信号词有: like, for example, for instance, such as, include, consist of, 等。
1柳暗花明的词义猜测题攻坚设问目标The word “…”means ________ in Chinese.Which of the following is the closest in meaning (意义最接近)to ___________?What does the underlined word “…” mean in Chinese?The word “…” could best be replaced by ___________.In Paragraph … , the underlined word “…” means/ refers to __________.难点攻坚秘笈秘笈1 通过语境猜测词义语境法即根据上下文相互制约的关系,推断出该词的含义。
要求词不离句,句不离篇。
文章中的词都是为主题服务的,所以通过文章主题和上下文之间的逻辑关系,从对两种事物或现象进行对比的描述中,可以根据其中一个熟悉的词推断出另一个生词的词义来。

It is not easy to forget a table.“赴日本是常事,但是这一次…”前缀un-表“不”,forget “忘记”, -able 是形容词后缀。
小学四年级语文教案:阅读理解——猜词猜意,提高阅读能力一、导语阅读理解是语文教学的重点和难点之一,而在阅读理解中,猜词猜意是培养学生阅读能力的重要环节。
本教案针对小学四年级学生的语文教学,通过猜词猜意的训练,旨在提高学生的阅读能力和词汇理解能力。
本教案将分为三个部分进行教学:前期导入,猜词猜意的训练方法介绍,实例教学和巩固训练。
二、前期导入1. 学生在前期已经学习了一定量的词汇,并且对一些基本的猜词猜意方法有了初步的了解。
在本节课中,教师可以进行一次简短的复习活动,让学生回顾并巩固已学的猜词猜意方法。
三、猜词猜意的训练方法介绍1.教师可以通过示意图向学生介绍猜词猜意的方法。
示意图可以包括从上下文中猜测词义、利用前后句子关系猜测词义、结合词语的词性和词根猜测词义等。
2.教师可以通过示例句子向学生演示具体的猜词猜意方法。
例如,教师可以给学生展示一句话“她不喜欢这个东西,一见到它就皱起了眉头。
”然后引导学生猜测“皱起了眉头”的意思,通过观察上下文和词语的词性(眉头是身体的部分),学生可以猜测到“皱起了眉头”表示不喜欢的意思。
四、实例教学1.针对不同的猜词猜意方法,教师可以设计一些实例教学的活动,让学生通过实际操作来巩固和应用所学的方法。
2.教师可以选择一些适合学生年龄和能力水平的阅读材料,提供给学生阅读,并配备一些问题让学生进行猜词猜意的训练。
例如,教师可以选择一篇文章并提问:“根据上下文,你觉得‘躺’这个词的意思是什么?请用自己的话解释一下。
”通过这样的训练,学生可以锻炼独立思考和推理的能力。
3.教师还可以组织学生进行小组合作学习,让他们互相讨论猜词猜意的方法和答案,并分享自己的猜测过程。
通过小组合作学习,不仅可以增强学生的合作意识,还可以培养他们的思维能力。
五、巩固训练在巩固训练环节,教师可以设计一些综合性的练习,让学生在实践中应用所学的猜词猜意方法。
1.教师可以提供一些具有挑战性的阅读素材,让学生在限定的时间内进行阅读,并回答一些与猜词猜意相关的问题。
阅读理解猜词十大技巧阅读理解猜词十大技巧马上就要期中考试了,你是否在为自己词汇量不够而烦恼呢,下面小编教你几招超实用的猜词方法!好好琢磨一下,争取把这些方法用到平时的阅读和考试中去吧!1.构词法猜词阅读中常常会遇到一些由熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词。
掌握构词法对猜测词义很有帮助。
如:unforeseeable.这个词,可以根据构词法把它拆成un,fore,see,able;其中see是词根,fore是“先,前,预”的含义,un是否定,able是“能……的,可……的”,因此unforeseeable是“未能预见到的”意思。
2.利用同义近义词猜词在生词所出现的上下文中,有时会出现与之同义或近义的词语或结构,这时可从熟悉的词语中推知生词的含义。
统称在词或短语之间有并列连词and或or,这些词语或短语在句中作相同的成分,并且and或or连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的,由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域,甚至推出它的.大致词义。
3.利用反义词猜词对比是描述,说明事物的常用方式。
在对比中,对比的事物是互为相反的,因此根据反义或对比关系可从已知推出未知。
利用反义词来说明生词的意义,如反义词hot and cold,perfect and imperfect,甚至前、后句为肯定与否定或是与不是等,在句内词与词之间,在段内句与句之间的关系上起着互为线索的作用。
4.利用上下文语境猜词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进而推测词义,是阅读过程中的一大关键,这也是近年来高考考查的热点。
特别提醒:在做英语阅读理解题时,一定要注意熟词生义!这类猜词题也常见于各年高考题当中。
熟词生义比生词本身的障碍要大得多。
原因有三:其一,高考对生词的数量有数量的规定,不得超过3%;其二,熟词生义很容易引起考生的误解;其三,熟词生义的数量没有限制。

“wonderful”意思是极好的,与“magnificent”在意思上最为接近。
2. The word "delicate" in the text can be replaced by:A. strongB. weakC. gentleD. hard答案:C。
解析:“delicate”有“精致的;脆弱的;柔和的”等意思,选项A“strong”表示强壮的,与“delicate”相反;选项B“weak”侧重于虚弱,不如“gentle”能准确体现“delicate”柔和的意思;选项D“hard”意思是硬的,与“delicate”差异较大。
“gentle”有温柔、柔和之意,与“delicate”较为接近。
3. In the following, which word is similar to "furious"?A. angryB. happyC. calmD. sad答案:A。
解析:“furious”意为“狂怒的;暴怒的”,选项B“happy”表示高兴的,与“furious”相反;选项C“calm”意思是平静的,与“furious”完全不同;选项D“sad”是悲伤的,与“furious”的愤怒含义不同。

一、猜测词义题
阅读理解经常会遇到生词,这些生词怎么解决呢?这就需要一些猜词的技巧。
(一) 根据生活常识猜测词义
Children are always boasting. They say things like“My Dad's car is bigger than your Da d's,”“My Mom is smarter than yours.”and “My family has more money than yours.”
The word“boasting” mea ns __B___
A.骄傲
B.吹牛
C.顽皮
D.幼稚
Many plants and animals are going extinct. Mammoths,which are related(有关联的) with Asia elephants,are now extinct. There are no mammoths in the world today.
1. A mammoth is a kind of _C___.
A. plant
B. bird
C. animal
D. tree
2. The word extinct means _C_
A.出现
B.危险
C.灭绝
Usually people make dumplings at home. If you have no time to make them,you can bu y them from any supermarket. Then you take them home and eat them with vinegar.
The wor d“vinegar” means 醋
Water is made from oxygen and hydrogen.
The words“oxygen and hydrogen” mean 氢和氧
(二)根据上下文的意思来猜测
1.Some people like to walk quickly home after work,but I prefer to stroll home and loo k at the store windows along the way.(溜达)
2.She is usually prompt for all her classes,but today she arrives quite late.(准时的)
3.The door is so low that I hit my head on the lintel.(门梁)
(三)根据转折、因果关系猜测词义
通过因果关系猜词,首先是找出生词与上下文之间的逻辑关系,然后才能猜词。
有时文章借助关联词(如because,as,since,for,so,thus,as a result,of course,therefore等等)表示前因后果。
例如:
You shouldn't have blamed him for that,for it wasn't his fault.通过for引出的句子所表示的原因(那不是他的错),可猜出blame的词义是“责备”。
(四)通过同义词和反义词的关系猜词
通过同义词猜词,一是要看由and或or连接的同义词词组,如happya nd gay,即使我们不认识gay这个词,也可以知道它是愉快的意思;二是看在进一步解释的过程中使用的同义词,如Man has known something about the planets Venus,Mars,and Jupiter with the help of space ships.此句中的Venus(金星)、Mars(火星)、Jupiter(木星)均为生词,但只要知道planets就可猜出这几个词都属于“行星”这一义域。
通过反义词猜词,一是看表转折关系的连词或副词,如but,while,however等;二是看与not搭配的或表示否定意义的词语,如:He is so homely,not at all as handsome as his brother.根据not at all...handsome我们不难推测出homely的意思,即不英俊、不漂亮的意思。
(五)通过构词法猜词
在阅读文章时,总会遇上一些新词汇,有时很难根据上下文来推断其词意,而它们对文章的理解又有着举足轻重的作用,此时,如掌握了一些常用的词根、前缀、后缀等语法知识,如前缀un-表反义词,如happy、unhappy,fair、unfair,important、unimportant等;后缀-ment表名词,如develop、development,state、statement,argue、argument等;后缀-er、-or或-ist表同源名词;
如calculate、calculator,visit、visitor,law、lawyer,wait、waiter,sci-ence、scientist,art、arti st等,这些问题便不难解决了。
(六)通过定义或释义关系来推测词义
例如:But sometimes,no rain falls for a long,long time. Then there is a dry period,or drought.从drought所在句子的上文我们得知很久不下雨,于是便有一段干旱的时期,即drough t,由此可见drought意思为“久旱”,“旱灾”。
而a dry period和drought是同义语。
这种同义或释义关系常由is,or,that is,in other words,be called或破折号等来表示。
(七)通过句法功能来推测词义
例如:Bananas,oranges,pineapples,coconuts and some other kind of fruit grow in war m areas.假如pineapples和coconuts是生词,可以从这两个词在句中所处的位置来判断它们大致的意思。
从句中不难看出pineapples,coconuts和bananas,oranges是同类关系,同属fruit类,因此它们是两样水果,准确地说,是菠萝和椰子。
(八)通过描述猜词
描述即作者为帮助读者更深更感性地了解某人或某物而对该人或该物做出的外在相貌或内在特征的描写。
例如:The penguin is a kind of sea bird living in the South Pole. It is fat an d walks in a funny way. Although it cannot fly,it can swim in the icy water to catch the fis h.从例句的描述中可以得知penguin是一种生活在南极的鸟类。
后面更详尽地描述了该鸟类的生活习性。
