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,

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.

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?
