解題指導(dǎo)

在詞義猜測題中，有些詞匯并非生詞，只需要根據(jù)上下文去推測它應(yīng)在文章中的具體含義，或找出其指代對象。做這類題，應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀出現(xiàn)該詞的上下文，文章中往往會(huì)對這類詞或短語進(jìn)行重復(fù)解釋或概括歸納。因此答案往往可從文章中找出或推測出。

〖猜測詞義第一招〗利用上下文語境線索

任何一篇文中的句子在內(nèi)容上都不是絕對孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整篇文章有關(guān)。利用上下文提供的情景和線索，進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的綜合分析進(jìn)而推測詞義，是閱讀過程中的一大關(guān)鍵，這也是近年來高考考查的熱點(diǎn)。

〖第二招〗利用定義和解釋性線索

閱讀文中的有些生詞尤其是新聞報(bào)導(dǎo)及科普類文章中的生詞，往往在其后有對該詞進(jìn)行解釋說明性的短語或句子，如to be, that is, mean, stand for, namely, to refer to, to mean, in other words等，有時(shí)也以同位語、定語從句的形式出現(xiàn)，或用破折號(hào)、括弧來表示。留心閱讀就可以斷定它們的意思。

〖第三招〗根據(jù)邏輯關(guān)系進(jìn)行判斷。英語中句與句之間在語意上往往存在一些邏輯關(guān)系，如因果、對比、并列、轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系等。

因果關(guān)系的語境，通常由because, so ,therefore, so that, so / such… that… 等連詞體現(xiàn)。

〖第四招〗利用對比線索

有時(shí)文章作者為了增強(qiáng)表達(dá)效果，會(huì)用一對反義詞揭示事物的不同點(diǎn)，形成鮮明的對比，這時(shí)只要把握其中的一詞，就不難推出另一詞的含義，這時(shí)句中多見unlike; although; but; yet; while; on the contrary; on the other hand; for one thing; for another; instead of; rather than等信息詞。

〖第五招〗利用同義線索和同等關(guān)系

同義詞替換可以為我們推測詞義提供明顯的語境線索。一些常見的引出同義詞的標(biāo)志性詞語有 or, like, similarly等。同等關(guān)系是指一個(gè)詞、一組詞或短語在句中作同一成分，而且他們的詞義屬一范疇。只要我們認(rèn)識(shí)其中一個(gè)或幾個(gè)詞或短語，即可確定同等關(guān)系中生詞的詞性，作用和大概意思。

〖第六招〗利用例證性線索

某些冷僻的詞匯后會(huì)舉一個(gè)例子，使詞匯具體易懂。such as, like, for example, for instance等連接性詞語往往用來列舉說明前面較難理解的名詞。

〖第七招〗根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法

閱讀中常會(huì)遇到一些由所熟悉的單詞派生或合成的新詞，可利用構(gòu)詞法知識(shí)來推測其意思。《教學(xué)大綱》已經(jīng)明確地將構(gòu)詞法列在語法附表中，因此利用所學(xué)構(gòu)詞法生成的詞不應(yīng)被認(rèn)定為生詞。

〖第八招〗注意熟詞生義

英語中大量的詞匯具有多義性，其含義并非完全等同于詞典所標(biāo)注的漢語意思，具體的詞義需要在一定的上下文中體現(xiàn)出來。閱讀理解中的熟悉詞生義比生詞本身的障礙要大得多。原因有三：其一，高考對生詞的數(shù)量有量的規(guī)定，不得超過3%；其二，熟悉詞生義很容易引起考生的誤解；其三，熟悉詞生義的數(shù)量沒有限制。如果這種現(xiàn)象在一篇文章中出現(xiàn)得多，那就更難理解了。

〖第九招〗根據(jù)常識(shí)或經(jīng)驗(yàn)猜測詞義

在閱讀中碰到生詞時(shí)，我們有時(shí)可以運(yùn)用邏輯推理能力、自身的生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)及生活常識(shí)去推斷生詞的含義。當(dāng)然也要結(jié)合語境。

〖第十招〗

根據(jù)詞性轉(zhuǎn)化，猜測它在語境中的詞義
