猜词技巧

一·猜测词义时,我们可利用以下线索:

1. 针对性解释

在文章中,作者有时为了更好地阐述思想,对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或其他词汇做一些针对性的解释,形式有定义、复述、举例等。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性,把该单词含义与其他含义区分开来,利用它们我们可以比较容易地猜测词义。

1)根据定义猜测词义

作者一般在生词之前后之后紧挨着生词给出定义内容。有时有标点符合,连字符或逗号提示。此外,如果定义内容为句子,谓语动词多为:be, be considered, to be, be called, be known as, constitute, deal with, define, mean, refer to, represent, signify等。

例如:

Anthropology is the scientific study of people, society and culture.

由定义可知,anthropology就是―研究人类的科学‖。

2)根据复述猜测词义

复述也是对某一单词所做的针对性解释,虽然不像定义那样严谨、详细,但是提供的信息也能使我们猜出生词的词义。复述部分可能是单词、短语或者从句,一般作为生词的同位语,与生词间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号,冒号,分号,引号和括号等。同位语前常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say,等副词或短语出现。

例如:

Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak a nd read intelligently.

此例逗号中短语意为―对词意义进行研究的学科‖。该短语与前面生词semantics是同位关系,因此我们不难猜出semantics指―语义学‖。

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。

如:The consequences of epochal events su ch as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical ar ea as they were in the past.

句中―战争‖和―重大科学发现‖是生词的实例,通过它们我们可以猜出epochal的大致词义―重要的‖,这与其确切含义―划时代的‖十分接近。

4)内在逻辑关系

根据内在逻辑关系推测词义是指运用语言知识分析和判断相关信息之间存在的逻辑关系,然后根据逻辑关系推断生词词义或大致义域。

5)根据对比关系猜测词义

在一个句子或段落中,有对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述,我们可以根据生词或难词的反义词猜测其词义。表示对比关系的词汇和短语主要是although, but, despite, however, not, unlike, in spite of, in contrast和while引导的并列句等。

例如:Andrew is one of the most supercilio us men I know. His brother, in contrast, is quite humble and modest.

该例中supercilious对许多人来说可能是个生词,但是句中短语in contrast,(相对照的,相对比的)可以提示我们supercilious和后面词组humble and modest(谦卑又谦虚)是对比关系。分析出这种关系后,我们便能猜出supercilious意为―目空一切的,傲慢的‖。

A good supervisor(监督人;管理人;指导者)can recognize instantly the adept workers from the unskilled ones.

该句中并未出现上面提到的表示对比关系的词或短语,但是通过上下文可以判断出句子前后是对比关系,即把熟练工人与非熟练工人区分开。这时我们也能够推断出生词adept

的词义―熟练的‖。

6)根据比较关系猜测词义

同对比关系相反,比较关系表示意义上的相似关系。

例如:Green loves to talk, and his brothers are similarly loquacious.

该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间的比较关系。以此可以推断出loquacious词义为―健谈的‖。表示比较关系的词和短语主要是similarly, like, just as, also等。

7)根据因果关系猜测词义

在句子或段落种,若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系,我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义。

例如:Tom is considered an autocratic admi nistrator because he makes decisions witho ut seeking the opinions of others.

根据原因状语从句的内容,我们可以推断出生词autocratic指―独断专行的‖。

There were so many demonstrators in the Red Square that he had to elbow his way through the crowd.

此句为结果状语从句。根据从句的描书―许多示威者‖我们便可推知elbow的词义为―挤,挤过‖。

8)根据同义词的替代关系猜测词义

在句子或段落中,我们可以利用熟悉的词语,根据语言环境推断生词词义。

例如:

Just before the exam Carl's hands shoo k and sweated so much that he could not

hold a pen. His heart beat fast and his sto mach ached, even though he knew the sub ject very well. He really had a strange ph obia about taking test.

有些学生也曾有上文中所表述的考试时是紧张状态,所以很容易就能猜出―phobia‖指

―恐惧症‖。

2. 外部相关因素

外部相关因素是指篇章(句子或段落)以外的其他知识。有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。这时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。

例如:Husband:it's really cold out tonight. Wife: Sure it is. My hands are practically numb. How about lighting the furnace?

根据生活经验,天气寒冷时,手肯定是―冻僵的,冻得麻木的‖。

The snake slithered through the grass.

根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识,我们可以推断出slither词义为―爬行‖。

3. 单词构词

在猜测词义过程中,除了使用上面提到的一些策略,我们还可以依靠构词方面的知识,从生词本身猜测词义。

1)根据词根来猜测词义

例如:Antidisestablishmentarianism这个单词由28个字母构词,但是利用构词法将单词拆分,我们可以猜测其含义。单词可拆分为anti-(反对)+dis-(不)+establish(建立)【disestablis h即废除】+- ment(名词后缀)+-arian(……者)+-ism(……主义),单词含义即―反对废除国教制度者主义‖。

2)根据词缀猜测词义

例如:He fell into a ditch and lay there, se miconscious, for a few minutes.根据词根conscious(清醒的,有意识的),结合前缀semi(半,部分的,不完全的),我们便可猜出semiconscio us词义―半清醒的,半昏迷的‖。I'm illiterate about such things. 词根literate 意为―有文化修养的,通晓的‖,前缀il-表示否定,因此illiterate指―一窍不通,不知道的‖。

Then the vapor may change into droplets.后缀-let表示―小的‖,词根drop指―滴,滴状物‖。将两个意思结合起来,便可推断出droplet词义―小滴,微滴‖。

3)根据复合词的各部分猜测词义

例如:Growing economic problems were hi ghlighted by a slowdown in oil output.highligh t或许是一个生词,但是分析该词结构后,就能推测出其含义。它是由high (高的,强的)和light(光线)两部分组成,合在一起便是―以强光照射,使突出‖ 的意思。Bullfight is v ery popular in Spain. Bull(公牛)和fight(打,搏斗)结合在一起,指一种在西班牙颇为流行的体育运动——斗牛。

综上所述,利用各种已知信息推测、判断词义是一项重要的阅读策略。在实践中,我们可以灵活运用,综合运用上面提到的几种猜测策略,排除生词的障碍,顺利理解文章的思想内容,提高阅读速度。

猜词实战

That's enough, kids

It was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with h er two children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to the ground.

"I'd watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth child he'd sho ved," she says." I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, fir mly, 'No, we don't push," What happened next was unexpected.

shove

首先,我们可以判断shove是动词,表示动作。从上文得知这个小男孩"走到我两岁儿子前,把他推到了地上",而且"我看到他一会功夫就shove了四五个孩子"。可以推断出,s hove是与push相近的动作。

属于根据同义替代猜词词义。

"The boy's mother ran toward me from across the park," Stella says," I thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child, All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process?"

discipline

根据文中含义,我们可以推知,男孩的母亲生气了,对"我"大声嚷叫,责怪我"disciplin e"教训她的孩子。

属于内在逻辑关系之根据同义词的替代关系猜测词义。

unacceptable

我们非常熟悉accept一词,又知un-是否定前缀,-able是形容词后缀,可直接推出una cceptable是"不可接受的"。

属于构词技巧之根据前后缀猜词词义。

Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people' s children has become a minefield.

minefield

首先,我们已学mine(地雷)和field(场地),可以猜测minefield指"雷区"。但是,根据句意,minefield的本义在这里讲不通,又知上一句讲到:能让自己的孩子好好玩就已经是件棘手的事了,和其他人的孩子相处就是个minefield。从逻辑上看,这是个比较关系。联想minefield(雷区)的特征,我们可以猜测到minefield指非常危险的事情。

属于构词技巧之复合词的各部分以及内部推理之根据递进关系猜词词义。

In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. In my sister's house it's encourage d. For her, it's about kids being kids: "If you can't do it at three, when can you do it?"

Each of these philosophies is valid and, it has to be said, my son loves visiting his aunt's house. But I find myself saying "no" a lot when her kids are over at mine. That's OK between sisters but becomes dangerous territory when you're talking to the children of friends or acquaintances.

"Kids aren't all raised the same," agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash Universit y." But there is still an idea that they're the property of the parent. We see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if you're saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, then that's somehow a criticism of me."

inappropriately

Inappropriately为副词,修饰"behave",表示"行为如何"。由下文"a criticism of me"可知,inappropriately为贬义词,我们可猜知是行为不当。

In those circumstances, it's difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two schools of thought.

"I'd go to the child first," says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. Usually a quiet reminder that 'we don't do that here' is enough. Kids nave finely tuned antennae (直觉) for how to behave in different settings."

He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel neglectful, wh ich could cause problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headac hes, too.

This is why White recommends that you approach the parents first. Raise your conce rns with the parents if they're there and ask them to deal with it," she says.

Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answer s: "Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Preface your remarks with something like: 'I know you'll think I'm silly but in my house I don't wan t…'"

preface

把Preface按构词法拆分,由前缀pre-(在……之前)和face(面)组成,可以推出preface 指在……之前。

属于根据词根词缀猜词词义。

When it comes to situations where you're caring for another child, white is straightfor ward: "common sense must prevail. If things don't go well, then have a chat."

There're a couple of new grey areas. Physical punishment, once accepted from any ad ult, is no longer appropriate. "A new set of considerations has come to the fore as part o f the debate about how we handle children."

For Andrew Fuller, the child-centric nature of our society has affected everyone:" The rules are different now from when today's parents were growing up," he says, "Adults ar e scared of saying: 'don't swear', or asking a child to stand up on a bus. They're worried that there will be conflict if they point these things out –either from older children, or their parents."

He sees it as a loss of the sense of common public good and public courtesy (礼貌), and says that adults suffer form it as much as child.

Meredith Fuller agrees: "A code of conduct is hard to create when you're living in a world in which everyone is exhausted from overwork and lack of sleep, and a world in which nice people are perceived to finish last."

exhausted

介词from表示"由于……",根据句意,"overwork and lack of sleep超时工作,睡眠不足",导致了"exhausted"疲倦的。

属于内在逻辑关系之根据因果关系猜测词义。

"it's about what I'm doing and what I need," Andrew Fuller says. "the days when a kid came home from school and said, "I got into trouble". And dad said, ?you probably d eserved it' are over. Now the parents are charging up to the school to have a go at teach ers."

This jumping to our children's defense is part of what fuels the "walking on eggshell s" feeling that surrounds our dealings with other people's children. You know that if you remonstrate(劝诫) with the child, you're going to have to deal with the parent. it's admira ble to be protective of our kids, but is it good?

"Children have to learn to negotiate the world on their own, within reasonable bound aries," White says. "I suspect that it's only certain sectors of the population doing the run ning to the school –better –educated parents are probably more likely to be too involved."

White believes our notions of a more child-centered society should be challenged. "T oday we have a situation where, in many families, both parents work so the amount of ti me children get from parents has diminished." she says.

diminish

父母都工作,陪孩子的时间当然就减少了(diminish)。

属于内在逻辑关系之根据因果关系猜词词义。

"Also, sometimes when we talk about being child-centered, it's a way of talking abou t treating our children like commodities(商品). We're centered on them but in ways that r eflect positively on us. We treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud of, rather than serve the best interests of the children."

One way over-worked, under-resourced parents show commitment to their children is to leap to their defence. Back at the park, Bianchi's intervention(干预) on her son's behalf ended in an undignified exchange of insulting words with the other boy's mother.

As Bianchi approached the park bench where she'd been sitting, other mums came up to her and congratulated her on taking a stand. "Apparently the boy had a longstanding r eputation for bad behaviour and his mum for even worse behaviour if he was challenged."

Andrew Fuller doesn't believe that we should be afraid of dealing with other people's kids. "Look at kids that aren't your own as a potential minefield," he says. He recomme nds that we don't stay silent over inappropriate behaviour, particularly with regular visitor s.

longstanding

将longstanding根据构词法拆分:long(长时间)+stand(站立)+-ing(形容词后缀),可知longstanding指长期存在的。

属于构词技巧之根据词根词缀猜词词义。

一、结合语境和上下文求索信息 语境是英语阅读的大环境,任何词汇离开了语境便没有了意义。把词汇放进语境中,词汇也变得活灵活现。猜测任何词义都离不开上下文语境,当短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或者是短语时,可借助上下文语境进行合乎逻辑的推测,从而猜测出词义,在上下文中寻找一些关键词,对生词的掌握有积极的作用。如: 1. If he thinks he can invite me out,he is all wet. I don’t like to be with him. A. drunk B. sweating C. happy D. mistaken 根据I don’t like to be with him.我们感受到说话人的语气。我们不愿意跟他在一起,那么他要邀请我出去是不可能的,他就大错特错了。因此,答案是D。 2. A deaf and dump guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails.(五金店,从下文推出。) 3. 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.(温和的,上下文推出) 二、利用语法知识,把握一些连接词 我们可以利用句子的结构,判断所猜词的词性,甚至

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,

猜词阅读方法

阅读理解中的猜词 阅读中遇到生词太正常了,不给你中文解释,说明要考你!今天我们讲一讲如何猜词,通 过几个简单例子大家感受一下。 例1:Depression crosses racial and socioeconomic lines. (2013 海淀一模阅读D 篇第一段) 本身就是一道猜词题,里面又有2 个生词“racial”和“socioeconomic”,很多同学比较“郁闷”。 我们来猜一下。“and”并列前后的单词至少你会一个,那么这个题的理解就有门了。短单词“racial”不好猜,所以我们看看“socioeconomic”。好像见过,又熟悉又陌生。这个词是有两个单词组成的,“socio”+“economic”。social(adj.)你学过的,socio 是它的名词,意思为“社会”,“economic”(adj.)表示“经济的”,那么这个词你就已经猜出来了,意思是“社会经济的”。在做阅读中,此时“racial”是什么意思已经不重要了,可以忽略。考完试以后在去查字典吧。 例2:We need to differentiate critical thinking and loudmouths. (2013 西城一模阅读 D 篇第四段) 这个句子里有两个你似乎认识,有貌似不认识的词“differentiate”和“loudmouths”。猜一下吧。different(adj.)意思是“不同的”,加了后缀,只改变了词性,您看看它在句子是一个什么成分,就能看出它的词性——动词。大胆猜测一下,它的意思“不同的”变成了动词——“区分,区别对待,使有差异”。“loudmouths”是一个合成词,比较好猜“loud”大声的,mouth 嘴,开口,结合起来“大声的嘴巴”——“大声说话”——“高谈阔论”。 例3:It is very important when entering into an agreement with someone, whether socially, or in a business setting, to realize that they may have a different idea about the importance of deadlines and schedules.(2012 年西城一模阅读D 篇最后一段) “deadline”,又是一个合成词,拆开你都会,合起来呢?我们来猜一下“死的线”?——“死亡的线”?字面上意思对了,但放在句子中“死亡线和时间计划表的重要性”似乎不通,所以继续延展。再想一下,加上句子中“schedule”这个词意的提示,我们大胆的联想“deadline”,已经到了死亡线了,如果再不“打住”,过了“死亡线”就完蛋了,所以它有“最后期限”的意思。 总结: 通过以上三个例子,我们大致感受了一下如何在阅读中猜词,第一,当然要结合语境,在 句子、文段中猜,结合会的单词,尤其注意并列词;第二,通过合成词结构来猜;第三,通过 后缀(前缀)来猜。 这里需要补充说明,阅读中,尤其是考试时,不是所以单词你都需要猜出来的,不影响阅 读的,你就可以先忽略掉。为了扩充词汇量,在考完试以后猜一猜,然后查字典验证一下。 方法你懂了,再就需要多练了。孰能生巧,真理!接下 来,我们遇到这样的词就一起来猜一猜,不断积累!

中考英语阅读理解解题技巧:猜词.

中考英语阅读理解解题技巧:猜词 在阅读的时候,常常会遇到一些生词,影响我们的阅读速度,其实大部分生词的意思都可以通过上下文的关系猜出来,下面就介绍一些猜词的技巧: 1. 通过因果关系猜词 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" 。 2. 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happy and 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 spaceships. 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。 3. 通过构词法猜词 在阅读文章时,我们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,这些问题便不难解决了。 4. 通过定义或释义关系来推测词义

英语阅读的猜词技巧

英语阅读的猜词技巧 在英语阅读中,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。例如: anthropology is the scientific study of man. 由定义可知,anthropology就是“研究人 类的科学”。 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。 同位语 Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently. 此例逗号中短语意为“对词意义进行研究的学科”。该短语与前面生词semanties式 同位关系,因此我们不难猜出semanties指“语义学”。 在复述中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。 Capacitance, or the ability to store electric

英语阅读理解中的猜词技巧

英语阅读理解中的猜词技巧 在二语习得过程中,阅读理解的最主要障碍是词汇。从某种意义上讲,能否巧妙处理阅读理解中遇到的生词或熟词新义问题,是快捷突破英语阅读理解瓶颈的关键。由于我们不可能对所有的英语词汇都有所了解和掌握,所以应用猜词技巧,判断出困扰文章阅读理解词汇的正确含义就显得意义非凡。 一、根据构词法猜测词义 在英语词汇中,有相当一部分单词是通过派生、转化、合成构成的,乍看起来,这个词好像是个生词,但是依据三种构词法就能很快判断出这一生词的词义和词性。例如:Because of the many violent storms, the Triangle is often impassable, 中的impassabel是由前缀im-(not的意思)和passable(可通过的)两部分组成,所以,impassable的意思就是“不能通行的”。 二、根据与上下文之间的关系猜测词义 生词不是孤立的,封闭的,它出现于期中的句子、段落,都会提供很多的暗示和线索。根据生词与上下文之间的关系可推测出生词的含义。例如:Drinking some icy water from the river in front of the bear

trap and splashing a lot of water over my head brought me fully to my senses. 并列的两个动名词短语所提供的相关信息(喝冰冷的河水,再往头上洒大量的水)足以说明brought me fully to my senses 的意思,即“使我完全清醒了”。 三、根据同义词的替代关系猜测词义 在句子或段落中,可以利用提示语来判断生词的含义。比如说,如果句子中出现that is, namely, or 等单词或短语,那么这些短语的上下文之间通常是同义词的关系。另外,有时候逗号、括号、破折后等标点符号常被用来表示两个相邻的词(组)为同义词(组)或近义词(组),这些标点符号也为我们理解生词提供了线索。例:Lydia briefly stated that they were going to choose a treasurer, namely a person responsible for the money and acounts for the committee. 这句话的意思说是:莉亚迪简单地陈述了她们将要为委员会选出一个人,这个人负责处理钱财和账务,根据“namely”(也就是)来判断,“treasurer”的意思是“财务管理人”了。 四、根据对比关系猜测词义 在文章中,常有对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述,我们可以根据表示转折、对比等的连词,如

Using the research method of literature, means of observation, behavioral approach, conceptual analysis and the pattern of information-seeking of local and overseas were analyzed and compared, Basic pattern strategies of technology information-seeking 阅读理解中的猜词技巧 华高—周琼阅读是语言教学的重要组成部分,培养学生的阅读能力是外语教学的重要目标。《英语课程标准》明确规定:“高中英语教学应该根据学生的认识发展水平着重培养学生用英语获取和处理信息的能力。” 新的高中英语教学大纲明确规定:“高中英语教学应侧重提高学生的阅读能力”。纵观近几年的高考英语试题,我们不难看出,阅读理解能力是高考考查的重点,自始至终占着主导地位,并且有逐年增加的趋势。高考英语阅读理解题型的分值要占高考英语总分的35/150,是所有题型中占分比例最大的一道题,在阅读理解上是否得高分,是能否取得高考英语好成绩的关键。英语学科的《考试说明》对阅读理解的要求做了明确的规定,阅读理解部分主要测试考生理解书面英语的能力,具体目标为: 1、能理解文章的基本内容; 2、能归纳文章的主旨大意; 3、能推测文章中的隐含意思; 4、能根据上下文正确理解词语和句子; 5、能运用阅读技能完成不同文体的阅读任务。 阅读理解中的猜词能力是应用英语的重要能力。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。要做好这类题,首先必须熟练掌握中学英语教学大纲列出的约4000个词汇与一定数量的短语。其次,由于词义题中所考单词的意义通常超出大纲,所以掌握必要的猜词技巧也很重要。 猜词技巧也是一种很重要的应试技巧。它是一种非常有用的阅读技巧,获得这种技巧之后,读者在阅读过程中能很快通过上下文提供的线索或生词本身的结构特点推断出词义来,从而提高阅读速度和阅读能力。在诸多的英语测试中,几乎都包含有判断生词或关键词词义的题目。

阅读理解猜词十大技巧

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。如果这种现象在一篇文章中出现得多,那就更难理解了。5.利用定义和解释猜词 有些文章,特别是科技文章,通常会对一些关键词给予定义,我们可以利用定义来猜测这些词的意思。释义法就是根据文章中的字里行间,对生词以定语(从句)、表语甚至用逗号、破折号等标点符号引出并加以解释说明的方式。 6.利用例证猜词 为了说明或证实,文章中经常会举例,往往用来列举说明前面较难理解的词,这些例子可帮助我们猜测生词。举例时,常常会用一些连接性的词,如such as,like,for example,for instance等。

阅读理解生词猜词技巧

阅读理解生词猜词的技巧: 1. 通过因果关系猜词 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" 。 2. 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happy and 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 spaceships. 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。 3. 通过构词法猜词 在阅读文章时,我们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 、artist 等,这些问题便不难解决了。 4. 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drought ,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。 5. 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 warm areas. 假如pineapples 和coconuts 是生词,我们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。 6. 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作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 and walks in a funny way. Although it cannot fly ,it can swim in the icy water to catch the fish. 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。 总而言之,阅读理解靠的是扎实的语言基础,扎实的语言基础来自平时严格的基本功训练和长期的知识积累。只要平时刻苦用功,打下扎实的英语知识基础,又掌握了较科学的解题方法做“阅读理解”题是不会太难的。
