词义推测的六条线索

词义推测的六条线索

在阅读中我们常常会遇到生词或虽是熟词但用原来学过的意思去理解却不通,这时就需要根据上下文,也就是语境,去理解,有的也可以根据构词法去理解。高考阅读理解题中也常常要求考生推测词义。这里着重谈谈根据语境理解时的几条具体线索。

1. 根据转折对比关系

根据上下句之间表示转折或对比关系

的连接性词语来推测词义。如表示转折的

词有but, however, otherwise, or, though等, 表示对比关系的标志性词语有unlike, while, on the other hand, in spite of, in contrast等;另外, 分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。

[例1]Time is something from which we can’t escape.Even if we ignore it,it’s still going by,ticking away,second by second, minute by minute,hour by hour.So the main issue in using your time well is,“Who’s in charge?”We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy.Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.

?The underlined word “ally” most likely means somebody or something that is __________.

A. your slave and serves you

B. your supporter and helps you

B. under your control and obeys you

D. under your influence and follows you

解析:B本句由or引出,与前句意义相对,要求猜的ally显然与前句的enemy相对,即为“朋友”,朋友是支持和帮助我们的,故选B。

2.根据因果关系

就是根据前后的因果关系来推断其中的某个生词或短语的意思。可能是由表示原因的句意推出表示结果的句子中的某个生词或短语的意思,即由因推果法;也可能是由表示结果的句意推出表示原因的句子中的某个词或短语的意思,即由果推因法。表示因果关系的有because,so that, so/such...that...等。

[例2] Please stay on permitted paths. Otherwise you may destroy desert plants. Pack out what you pack in, so you leave no signs of your visit. It is important to keep in mind that you are in a national park where wildlife exists.

?What do the underlined words “pack out what you pack in” probably mean?

A. Keep everything out of campgrounds.

B. Take away everything you bring in.

C. Carry all the necessary food.

D. Look after your personal belongings.

解析:B句中so引出结果,由果推因,“不要留下任何参观的痕迹”,因此“要把带来的所有东西都带走”,故选B。

3.根据解释或修饰语

根据后面的括号中、破折号后面、引号中的内容,或者后面的定语从句,以及namely和that is等后面的解释性内容推测生词或短语的意思。

[例3] The schools are reluctant to take time off——even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.

?The underlined word“reluctant”may probably mean_________.

A.kind

B.unwilling

C.free

D.careless

解析:B根据破折号后面的解释“即使是有英格兰和阿根廷比赛门票的老师也很难挤出一天的时间”,可见学校是“不愿意”放假的,故选B。

4.根据同义关系

根据生词所处语境中的同义或近义词的意思来推测它的意思。有时有and或or 等,我们可以根据前后两项或多项并列的内容在含义上是接近的或递进的关系,来确定同等或同类关系中的某个生词所属的义域,由此可推知其大致意思。

[例4]It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores,then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score,they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college.And without a degree from a prestigious university,they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.

?“a prestigious university”is most probably____.

A.a famous university

B.a technical university

C.a traditional university

D.an expensive university

解析:A根据上句可知,此句中的prestigious university就是上句中的good college,也就是prestigious与good或famous同义,故选A。

5.根据语境关联

就是由上下文语境的描述猜测出某个词语的意思。

[例5](2013广东)While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class,a monitor(监控器)a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.

Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apartment,the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room…

In the battle against cheating,this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education.The technology gives trust to the entire system,to the institution and to online education in general.

?The underlined expression “cutting edge” is closest in meaning to ______.

A.advanced technique

B.sharpening tool

C.effective rule

D.dividing line

解析:A第一段总述Jennifer在家中考试,有监控器监视她的每一个动作;第二段具体描述监控器如何监视她;第三段开头,this is the cutting edge…,句中this指代什么?就是指上文描述的为了防止网络教育中考试作弊所采用a monitor进行监控的先进技术,故选A。

6.综合运用多种方法

除上述方法外,还可以根据并列关系、同类关系、比喻关系、定义关系、所举实例、构词法和生活常识等多种方法推测生词的意义,有时需要综合运用多种方法,才可推测其意义。

[例6]The new type of pineapple was selling fast,and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.

?The underlined word“fixture”probably refers to something__________.

A.that people enjoy eating

B.that is always present

C.that is difficult to get

D.that people use as a gift

解析:B这种新品种菠萝很畅销,当然成为了健康饮食人士购物筐中的“常客”。另外根据构词法知识可知,该词的词根是fix,含有“固定”之意。故选B。

猜测词义题型阅读解题技巧(技巧总结)

猜测词义题型阅读解题技巧 题型介绍 高考大纲要求考生能“根据上下文推断生词的词义”。词义猜测题一般占阅读理解总题量的10%左右。所猜词汇可以是生词,也可以是熟词新义,还可以是人称代词的指代内容。常见提问方式 The underlined word “______”in the passage means ______. What does “_______” in the third paragraph stand for? The word/phrase “________” most near ly means ______. The word/phrase “______” could best be replaced by ______. The word/phrase “______” in Line…, Para …refers to______. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase/word/sentence “________”? What’s the meaning of “______” in Line …, Para …? The underlined sentence in the first /second... paragraph probably means that ________. 正确选项的特点 1. 对于超纲词汇的正确解释,如果将它代入回原文,则符合逻辑,使文章通顺易懂。 2. 对于未超纲的词或短语的正确解释,往往是熟词新义,是根据上下文推测的一个特定场合的含义。 干扰项的特点 1.字面意思:对于熟悉的词,干扰项会列出它的字面意思或常规含义。 2.无关意思:除了字面意思,出题人还常用凭空杜撰出来的其它意思来干扰考生,但只要将此意思带入原文,不符合逻辑就能够排除。 解题思路 1. 返回原文,结合上下文,理解该词的意思。 2. 搜索时应注意同位语、特殊标点、定语从句、(表示上下文之间的逻辑关系)关键提示词及前后缀,特别注意找出其中和生词处于同一位置的词去推测。 特别提示: 1.不管这个词多超纲,根据上下文都能得出其意思。 2.不管这个词多熟悉,都要通过上下文得出其在特定场合的意思。 解题技巧 构词法 派生词:通过分析派生词,猜测划线单词的意思。 Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s War and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands”. Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse”. He is said to be “undersized” with “short legs” and a “round stomach”. undersized=under (低于) +size (尺寸、大小),通过构词法可知以-ed结尾的派生词可作形容词(如three-legged 三只脚的),再结合后面的short legs (短腿),可猜出undersized意为“身

词义猜测题解题技巧

高考阅读理解词义猜测题解题技巧 猜词悟义是应用英语的重要能力,也是高考阅读理解中必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。考生应学会通过构词、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、同义、反义及上下文线索等确定词义。 一、题型特点与命题方式 此类题型有逐渐增加的趋势,尤其是猜测词组、句义题。因为猜测词组、句义题涉及题材背景、句子结够、文章主旨、作者的观点态度等。联系主旨、整合上下文信息是解答这类题的关键。近几年阅读理解的生词率略有上升,加大了猜测力度。命题者着重考查考生利用同义或反义关系、构词法、语法和语篇文脉等理解生词的能力。 【命题趋势】 1、要求根据阅读材料所提供的信息,结合中学生应有的常识和经验,正确判断生词词组的含义或成熟词在特定语境中表达的具体含义以及一些句子的意思。 2、要求猜测词义的词一般为实词及其词组,通过构词、定义、对比、因果、联想、上下文等线索确定词义的具体内容。 3、代词复指理解题也是猜测词义的常考类型。用―逻辑关系梳理法‖、―递向寻踪法‖理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系是关键所在。 【设问形式】 The underlined word ―…‖ in the second(third…) paragraph refers to(means) ______. By saying ―…‖ in the first(second…) paragraph, the author means that ______. In paragraph …, ―…‖ can be replaced by ―______‖. The meaning of ―…‖ in paragraph… is related to ______. Which of the follow ing has the closest meaning to…(paragraph…)? The underlined sentence in the … paragraph probably means that _____. 二、解题思路与应试技巧 做这种类型的题,要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生,我们要特别注意熟词生义,切不可脱离语境主观臆断。 下面结合近几年高考试题,对猜词悟义的技巧加以解读。 1、根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测 有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语,下面接着出现其定义或解释,这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如: Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. 句子给予annealing 以明确的定义,即―退火‖。 It will be very hard but also very brittle — that is, it will break easily. 从后面that is(也就是说)的解释中我们可以了解到brittle是―脆‖的意思。 The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year. 定语从句中looks after sheep 就表明了herdsman的词义为―牧羊人‖。 【考例】 (2014福建卷,E篇)73. The underlined words ―tipping points‖ most probably refer to ―_______‖. A. freezing points B. burning points C. melting points D. boiling points 【解析】C。请看原文:In his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting

If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the "wrong” clothes. Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule-- wanting to look just like their friends.

猜测词义题解题技巧

阅读理解之猜测词义题 在阅读中我们经常会遇到许多生词。这时许多同学立即翻阅词典,查找词义。这样做不但费时费力,而且影响阅读速度、影响对语篇的整体把握。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都有联系。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。近年来全国统一高考中加大了对考生猜词义能力的考查,因此,掌握一定的猜词技巧,对突破高考阅读理解、提高我们的英语语言能力都有非常重要的意义。 这种题常见的提问方式有: The word “…” in paragraph … can best be replaced by … …. The underlined word “…” most probably means …. By saying “…”, the author means … The expression “…” is closest to … According to the passage, the phrase “…” suggests … The underlined part “… …” (in Para. … )means ….. 做这种类型的题,要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生,我们要特别注意熟词生义,切不可脱离语境想当然。 猜测词义时,一般可利用以下三个方面的线索: 一.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或段落来定义,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。 例如:(05 湖北卷A段)Do you know what a “territory” is ? A territory is an area that an animal ,usually the male, claims(声称)as its own. 由定义可推知,这里territory指的是:“动物的地盘”。 (04 浙江卷B段)Green building means “reducing the impact (影响) of the building on the land”. 由定义我们可以推断这里Green building 指的是什么。 2.根据复述推测词义 虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细,但是它提供的信息可以为阅读者猜测词义提供 依据,至少读者可以根据复述猜测生词的大致“义域”(意义范围)。复述部分可以是词、短语、或从句。 同位语复述:在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间常用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号,冒号,分号,引号和括号等。同位语前常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say, i.e. 等。 例如:(05浙江卷B段)In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. 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。 定语从句复述: 例如:(04 福建卷E段)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 . According the passage, The Pines is a .

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:
