它不但需要准确无误地理解上 下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜” , 通过构词、语法、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、上下文等线索确定词义解答此类试题,考生可以进行大胆猜测,但却又不是胡乱地、盲目地猜测,应使用一 定的方法和技巧下面介绍几种有效的猜测词义的方法,可以在平时的实战演练中注 意训练,以期在考场上把失误减少到最低限度策略 1:利用上下文语境猜测任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是孤立的,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进而推测词义,是阅读过程 中的一大关键策略 2:根据语义转折猜词有时文章的作者为了增强表达效果,会用一些含有表示转折意思的连词、副词或短语 如:though, although, still, but, yet, instead, instead of, however, while, on the contrary, on the other hand, unlike, rather than, for one thing, for another 等,我们可以根据转折意思猜 测词义。
此外,我们还可以通过捕捉相关的同义词近义词、反义词,利用有关的例证进行词义 推测2.指代题对于指代题,考生应正确理解文段的内容,再根据上下文的句子结构、主谓关系以及 上下文之间的语义关系和逻辑关系等来确定所指代的内容同时,注意以下几个要点:(1)注意指代条件it, they, one, that,this 都有自己的指代条件,如单数、复数、可数、 不可数、先行词的远近(先行词一般紧靠代词也就是说代词前面有几个可指代的词或 词组同时出现,最靠近的词可能性最大)它要求对代词所在句子以及紧邻几个句子的 结构和意思都有准确的理解2)注意文章意思如果代词周围有好几个名词或词组,而且都符合指代条件,这就要 分析哪一选项符合文章意思3)注意搭配意思把四个选项试着代入原文,看哪一项符合搭配意思,包括句子的语 法意义和逻辑意义4)注意综合考虑综合注意指代条件,文章意思和搭配意思总之,遇到猜测词、句义类试题,要依据上下文进行综合推断,一定要注意上下文的 联系,不宜只根据某个细节或者某个句子简单下结论5)注意平时积累总结①总结词类的转化,如:decide—decision, describedescription, explain—explanation; 形容词与名词的转化,如:anxious—anxiety, angry—anger, free—freedom, various— variety 等。
②总结、归纳高频同义、近义词语和表达相同意义的表达方式,如,表示“对……满 意” ,可以说:be pleased/satisfied/content with., express one’s satisfaction with.;养成 做某事的习惯,可以说:be/become used/accustomed to doing sth.,be in/get into the habit of doing sth., make it a rule to do sth.等命题者在设计阅读理解题干时,往往使用 此类表达方式如:One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest (卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a wornout hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat.
