高中英語考點精析精練 猜測詞義（閱讀理解）

命題點4猜測詞義

本類考題解答錦囊

英語的一個顯著特點是它龐大的詞匯數(shù)量。即使一個擁有上萬單詞量的人在閱讀英語讀物中也難免會遇到生詞。如果每

遇到生詞，就查閱詞典，不但會降低閱讀速度，而且往往使閱讀變得索然無味。據(jù)調(diào)杳，影響人們閱讀理解的，首先是詞匯。

因此學(xué)習(xí)并掌握一些猜測生詞詞義的方法，對排除閱讀時某些生詞的干擾，降低生詞率是十分必要的。

任何一個買詞，只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一個確定的詞義。NMET閱讀理解中猜測詞義的考查內(nèi)容既可以是文中

的生詞，也可以是熟詞新義、短語或句子。但都要求考生根據(jù)I:下文線索(即具體語境)作出推斷。此類題的提問形式一般有：

1.Whichofthefollowingisnearest/closestinmeaningto"…”？

2.Theunderlinedword,means______.

3.Theunderlinedphrase,means.

4.Theunderlinedsentence,means.

利用上下文的提示猜測詞義的方法有如卜幾種：

1.根據(jù)定義或解釋猜測詞義

【例題】

(1)Acalendarisalistofthedays,weeks,monthsofaparticularyear.

根據(jù)定義，calendar的意思是日歷.。

(2)Abiographyisthestoryofaperson'slifewrittenbysomeoneelse根據(jù)定義，biography的意思是凡別人寫

的生平叫做傳記。

(3)SomewritersarenolongerwritingaboutthemodernvaluesoftheUSA-money,Successorexpensivethings

tobuy.

2.破折號后而的內(nèi)容是對value一詞的具體解釋。

【例題】

(l)Herepliedquickly.Butafterheconsideredtheproblemmorecarefully,heregrettedhavingmadesuchahasty

decision.根據(jù)恥卜,文學(xué)語境意義,可悟出quickly與hasty同義。

(2)Althoughpeopleinmanycountriesconsiderrawmeatadelicacy(美味)，weChinesepeopleseldomeatanymeat

thatisuncooked.根據(jù)上下文語境意義得知rawmeat即是meatthatisuncooked.Raw與uncooked表示相同意思生

的，未煮過的。

(3)-1thinkwearebeingwatched.

一Really?Whatmakesyouthinkweareundersurveillance?根據(jù)語境，可判斷出beingwatched-15under

surveillance是同義關(guān)系。

(4)Duringtheconcert,thechildrenwerequietbutafterwards,theybecameboiaterous.

but表示轉(zhuǎn)折意思，因此bomterous是quiet的反義詞，意思為吵吵嚷嚷的。

(5)Unlikehergregarioussister,Janeisashyperson,whodoesnotliketogotoparties,ortomakenewfriends,

unlike是關(guān)鍵詞，它表示Jane與她的姐姐完全不同。根據(jù)后面對Jane的描述“…ashyperson,...notliketogoparties

ortomakenewfroends),可得知gregarious的意思是好交際的。

3.根據(jù)舉例

【例題】

(l)Scientistsarestudyinghowbirdssuchternsmigrate.

根據(jù)舉例法(suchas),得知terns是一種鳥。

(2)Todayyoungcoupleswhoarejuststartingtheirhouseholdsoftenspendlotsoftheirmoneyonappliances?for

example,washing-machines,fridgesandcolorTVs.

根據(jù)舉例法(forexample),得知appliances是指washing-machines,fridgesandcolorTVs這類家用電器。

(3)Severalothergases,suchasargon,comprisetheremainingonepercentofthevo1umeofdryair.

SUChas提示argon為某種氣體。

4.根據(jù)因果關(guān)系。

【例題】

（l）Shedidnothearwhatyousaidbecauseshewascompletelyengrossedinherreading.

because之前的分句表示結(jié)果，之后的分句表示原因，可推理，她沒有聽見的原因是她完全被閱讀吸引住了或她正全神

貫注地看書。因此engrossed的意思是被吸引的，全神貫注的。

（2）ThenoisewassofaintthatitwasimpossibletobesurewhatitwasorevenwhereitcamefronL

So...that...,結(jié)構(gòu)引導(dǎo)的句子也表示因果關(guān)系。因此可判斷出faint在此句中的意思是微弱的。聲音太弱，以致不

能確認是什么聲音或是從哪里發(fā)出的。

（3）ThiSkindofflowerthrivesinthisareabecausetheweatheriswarm,theSoilisexcellent,andthereiS

alotofrain。

because一詞決定了flower與warmweather,excellentsOil,alOtOfrain之間是因果關(guān)系。

因此thdves的意思是茂盛成長。

5.根據(jù)句意或上下文語境

例1Ifhethinkshecaninvitemeout,heisallwet.Idon'tliketobewiththethem.

A.drunkB.sweatingC.happyD.mistaken

【解析】根據(jù)第二句我不喜歡跟他在一起，可推斷出，如果他認為他能約我出去，那他就錯了。這兩句話實際上暗含因

果關(guān)系。

【答案】D

例2Attheageof77,Johnwassti11playingaskillfulgameoftennis,ranfourmi1eseveryddayandseldom

missedhisdailyswim.Foramanofhisagehewasextremelyrobust.

Accordingtotheshortpassage,theword“robust"，probablymeans_.

AcstrangeB.weakC.strongninteresting

【答案】C根據(jù)語境的意思，一個77歲的人還能如此運動，可以說是身體不錯，因此可以推斷robust是strong

強壯的意思。

由此可見猜測詞義離不開上下文、離不開具體語境。

命題目的與解題技巧：本文有關(guān)題考查學(xué)生猜測詞義能力。做這類題的關(guān)鍵是學(xué)生根據(jù)上下文線索（即具體語境）作出推斷。

【解析】本文是一篇關(guān)于是否該穿校服的爭論的議論文。有人認為校服會扼殺孩子的創(chuàng)造性，但很顯然作者是同意穿

校服的，認為穿校服可以在學(xué)生中間培養(yǎng)公平意識。

【答案】1.D猜測詞義。從下文看，作者例數(shù)校服的諸多好處，顯然“benifits〃在此有“優(yōu)點，好處”之義。其他

三詞tasks（任務(wù)）,messages（信息）,differences（不同），意思相差甚遠。

2.B細節(jié)推斷。從第三段第,句話aAsinOtherplaces,uniformsremindthewearersoftheirpurposeandduties”

可推知，制服（unifontt）幫助穿衣者時刻記住其職責(zé)。

3.B細節(jié)題。從最后一段第一句："Someparents...,sayin8thatschooluniformswillaffecttheir

children'screatiVity"可直接選出答案。

4.D主旨推斷題?？v覽全文，作者的觀點是認為學(xué)生穿校服可以培養(yǎng)公平意識，對于創(chuàng)造性可以在其他時間和事件中培養(yǎng)。

Inthesecondparagraph,theunderlinedwords"thebuilding“mostprobablyreferto_.

A.anordinarybuilding

B.an.energy-savingbuilding

C.agreen-coloredbuilding

D.abuildinginWashington,D.C.

答案：A指導(dǎo)：文章第?段第二句首先介紹了當(dāng)今的GreenbuiIding的概念是環(huán)保型的houses,factories和offices。

第二段第一句指出環(huán)保型建筑就是要減少thebuiIding所造成的（不良）影響。由此町判斷thebuiding為普通建筑。

A.whichhasthickforestsaround

13.whichhasalreadybeenusedforbuilding

C.wherepeopleofhighincomelive

I）,wheretravelingaroundbycarismostconvenient

答案：B指導(dǎo)：根據(jù)前面兒段對于greenbuiding優(yōu)點的介紹，再根據(jù)最后一句中的anyhow所表達的邏輯關(guān)系進行推理，

可知答案。

A.DettlingdesignedthefirstgreenbuildingintheU.S.

B.Energyshortagecallsforbuildingsofnewdesign.

C.GreenbuiIdingshelpsaveenvironment.

I）.TheSolaireservesasamodelofhighbuiIdings.

答案：C指導(dǎo)：文章第一段介紹greenbuilding是環(huán)保型的，下面又分段分紹它的優(yōu)點，最后一段介紹其前景，因此可判

斷C為正確答案。
