英语二轮复习阅读理解猜测词义题解题技巧

第二节猜测词义题解题技巧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：

Exemplifying in Skills 构词法与语境法一．Word Formation 构词法：英语单词大多是由词根、词头（前缀）和词尾（后缀）所组成。词根是单词最基本的部分，表达单词的基本含义。在词根前或后加上前缀或后缀，可以用来引申或转变原词的意义。只要我们掌握了各种词根、词头和词尾的基本含义，那么就可以很容易猜测出由其构成的新词的含义了。 1）派生法（Derivation）派生法就是借助前缀或后缀派生出新词的构词方法。后缀往往起改变词性的作用，派生出的新词主要有名词、形容词、动词三种；前缀主要起改变词义的作用，包括各种否定前缀、时间前缀等。 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”. 中学英语中常见的前缀和后缀有： super- (超) mini- (极小的, 微小的) micro-（极微小的）re- （再，反复） mis-（误，恶）im-（不） un-（不，非）in-（不，非）

【统编版】四年级上册语文第三单元作业练习(含答案)

统编版四年级语文上册第三单元作业练习一、字词百花园。 1.选字组词 [暮幕慕墓] （）地（）布（）色羡（） [冷吟怜玲] （）唱（）惜（）珑寒（） 2.读句子，用“倾”字组词并填空。（不能重复）夜晚，坐在窗边的弟弟（）着外面的动静。啊！外面下起了（），妈妈还没回来，我们真替她担心。突然，屋里变得漆黑一团，我们害怕极了。姐姐说：“我们发一条短信，向妈妈（）我们此时的感受吧。” 3.平时留心（）周围的事物，能积累丰富的写作材料。 A.察看 B.观察 C.凝视 D.检查 4.根据画面的意思猜成语。二、句子游乐场。 1.选择一组关联词填入句中的括号里，最恰当的一项是（）。你别看小草的身躯是那样柔弱，生命力（）是惊人的。狂风暴雨休想摧垮它，洪水、干早不能灭绝它。（）镰刀把它拦腰斩断，它（）会重新生长起来。 A.却……即使……也…… B.却……如果……就…… C.既然……只要……就 D.既然……即使…也…… 2.星期天，我要和爸爸一起去看望奶奶，只能下周去图书馆了。（改为双重否定句） 3.我们要学会运用和理解已经学过的词语。（用修改符号修改病句） 4.云朵是天空行走的风景，浪花是河流行走的风景。（仿写句子）

是的风景，是的风景。三、课文欢乐谷。 1.黄山绵延数百里，千峰万壑，每到一处，所看到的美景都不一样，这正如苏轼所说“，。” 2.《雪梅》这首诗中，“，”这两句诗与“尺有所短，寸有所长”告诉我们的道理非常相似。 3.学完本单元的课文后，东东对法布尔的作品很感兴趣，你向他推荐哪本书？（） A.《夏洛的网》 B.《时代广场的蟋蟀》 C.《昆虫记》 D.《稻草人》四、阅读芳草地。海象 ①太阳一出来我就起床，朝海象居住的地方走去。 ②我到达峭壁时，这些动物已经离开礁石，聚集在海边。公海象们坐在卵石成堆的斜坡上，像一块块灰色的大圆石，它们下面，母海象和海象崽子正在海浪里游戏。把这些年轻的海象说成海象崽子也许不大妥当，因为它们一个个跟男人一样高大。但它们在许多方面毕竟还是初生的崽子。它们跟着海象妈妈，像小孩学走路一样，扒拉鰭脚摇摇摆摆地走来走去，发出只有小孩才有的哭声和表示高兴的声音。它们离岸去学习游泳，还要妈妈把它推进海里，这往往非常困难，因为它们个儿太大。 ③公海象相互之间保持一定距离，因为它们脾气很坏，生来嫉妒心很大，一有使它们不高兴的事情，很快就会打架。我下面的斜坡上有六头公海象，一头头像大人似的单独坐一个地方，注视着它们管辖的一群母海象和幼海象。 ④母海象身上比较光滑，而孔看上去很像老鼠，尖尖的鼻子，还带几根触须。公海象却大不一样，它的鼻子上面有一大块隆起的肉耷拉下来盖在嘴边。它的皮肤很粗糙，看上去像在太阳下晒干的湿土，有一条条裂紋。这种动物真丑。 1.第②段告诉我们海象的生活习性：“聚集”一词说明它们是一种动物，“学习游泳”说明它们既可以在生活，又可以在生活。 2.观察的时候不仅要用眼看，还要用耳听，用心想。用“”画出第②段中能体现作者观察时用耳听的句子。

高考英语阅读理解中猜测词意真题再体验

高考英语阅读理解中猜测词意真题再体验 1.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph? A. A dessert. B. A drink. C. A container. D. A machine. 解析：they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.孩子们喜欢把水果和冷冻的香蕉放到机器的顶部，看着冰激凌出来，因此此处a juicer是机器。选择D 2. Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. The more, the better. B. Enough is enough. C. More money, more worries. D. Earn more and spend more. 答案A,根据第一段第一句Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects我们成年人都清楚堆满很多物品是什么感受，接着设问Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? 表达了作者对more is more“越多越好”的态度。紧接着下一句The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less好消息是我可以帮助我自己的孩子们比我更早地学会如何拥有得不多也能更好地生活，由此可知more is more是“越多越好”的意思。而越多越好是后文作者驳斥反对的。 3. There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a_pipe_dream for most apple lovers who fall for it. 30．What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream”in Paragraph 3 mean? A．A practical idea. B．A vain hope. C．A brilliant plan. D．A selfish desire. 分析：根据连接词so可知上下文之间存在着因果关系，故我们需要从上文中寻找答案。由上文中的“One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it ...”可知，尽管Orleans Reinette是很好的品种，但是对各项条件的要求很高，因此大多数喜欢它的人种植它的希望会落空。故选择B项。 4. This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into
