英語高考閱讀猜詞

掌握猜詞技巧提升閱讀能力

張良燕2009-5-22

猜詞不但需要準確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，要掌握或認識較多的課外

詞匯.我們要學會通過構(gòu)詞，定義，比較，對比，因果，上下文等線索來確定詞義.

要求猜測詞義的詞一般為實詞(動詞，名詞，形容詞等)，詞義猜測題的常用提問方式有：

Theword”.........”refersto/probablymeans/couldbestbereplacedby.

Theword"........."ismostlikelytomean.

Whatdoyouthinktheexpressionu.........”standsfor?

Bysaying”.........”，wemean,

"........."asisusedinthepassagecanbestbedefinedas.

Skilll利用構(gòu)詞法

1.利用構(gòu)詞法中的派生法(Derivation)—前綴/后綴

前綴一般不改變原有的詞性，只改變詞義；后綴通常改變詞性，但詞義基本上和原來的詞

根意義一致。

1).Whenhereachedtheplacewithhisarmy,hefoundanimpassableriverinfrontofhim.

2).Intheworldofeconomicelobolizntion,differentnationsarebecomingmoreandmore

interdependent.

2.利用構(gòu)詞法中的合成法(compounding)

3).ChildlaborersinDickens1novelswereill-treated.

4).FrancisChichestersailedaroundtheworldsinelr?handed?

3.利用構(gòu)詞法中的轉(zhuǎn)化法(conversion)

1)Peterlovestotalk,andhisbrothersaresimilarlyloquacious.

2)Motherwastallandfat.Theprincipaloftheschoolwasalmostasplumpasmother,andmuch

shorter.

Theunderlinedphrase"statelyhomes“means.

A.state-ownedhousesB.housesinverygoodcondition

C.grandhousesopentothepublicD.houseswherestatesmenmeetregularly

2.利用對比(反義)關(guān)系--關(guān)鍵詞有incontrast,onthecontrary,unlike,however,but,

despite,while,inspiteof,ontheotherhand,nevertheless等。

1)AndrewisoneofthemostsuperciliousmenIknow.Hisbrother,incontrast,isquitehumble
