支招大學英語四六級考試中如何猜詞義
一、利用所出現(xiàn)生詞的上下文與其意義上的聯(lián)系或下文進一步的敘述，猜測詞義?！ he female mosquito is a vampire and lives on blood.如不知道vampire的詞義，從下文lives on blood則可得知其詞義為吸血昆蟲?！ he old man put on his spectacles and began to read.如不知道spectacles的詞義，從下文戴上spectacles后開始閱讀可以猜得其詞義眼鏡?！ 《?、利用文中的舉例猜測詞義例三：Some artists plan their paintings around geometric forms like squares, circles and triangles.如不知道geometric forms的意思，可從文中所列舉的三角形，正方形、圓形來猜得其意義為幾何圖形。 Today young couples who are just starting their households often spend lots of their money on appliances for instance, washing machines, refrigerators and color televisions.如不知道appliances的意思，從文中的舉例washing-machines，refrigerator，televisions可以猜得該詞的意思為家用電器。 三、利用文中說明詞義的同位詞或定語等猜測詞義例五：The invention of snorkel, a long air tube that reaches up to the surface, has made it possible for submarines to use their diesel engine even when they are submerged.句中snorkel一詞的意思，可通過其同位語a long air tube that reaches up to the surface來猜得。由此，我們可確定該詞義為通氣管。 The type of meter is called multimeter, which is used to measure electricity.通過定語從句which is used to measure electricity，我們可將multimeter的詞義確定為萬用表?！ hey will be on the night shift - from midnight to 6 a. m. - next week.由破折號之間的解釋內(nèi)容，我們可以了解到night shift意思為夜班?！ ∷摹⒗梦恼轮兴霈F(xiàn)的、與某生詞或詞組意思相反的內(nèi)容，猜測詞義例八：American businessmen expect employees to be punctual. They do not expect that the workers will come late.文中be punctual的意思，可理解為not come late，即準時，不遲到?！ nlike her gregarious sister, Jane is a shy person, who does not like to go to parties, or to make new friends.根據(jù)文中unlike的意思，可將gregarious理解為與文中a shy person who does not like to go to parties, or to make new friends.相反的意思，即：表示好交際的?！ ∥濉⒗梦恼轮杏貌煌脑拰ν桓拍畹慕忉?，猜測詞義?！ hould the government regulate the cost of resources such as oil and gas? Some people do not believe that government control is the solution to the problem of the rising cost of fuel.文中regulate的詞義可猜測為與government control的意思相近?！ ne of the predominant concerns today is the future of our natural resources. This issue is of greatest importance because it is becoming clear to many people that our present resources will not last forever.文中predominant的詞義可猜測為具有與of greatest importance相近的意思?！ leaning up waterways is an enormous task. The job is so large, in fact, that the government may not be able to save some of the rivers and lakes which have been polluted.文中enormous的詞義可猜測為與so large的意思相近?！ ×?、利用基本的構(gòu)詞方法，猜測詞義?！ hey overestimate the interviewees ability and asked him many difficult questions.在overestimate詞中over-是前綴，意為過分。因此overestimate的詞義可以猜測為過高估計的意思?！ e were told that ours was the most spacious room in the hotel. That was why we had to pay so much for it. Spacious是由詞根space+ious構(gòu)成。由此我們可以猜得其大概意思為有空間的，寬敞的。 然而，需要指出的是，不要花費太多的時間去試圖猜出所有生詞確切的意思，因為有的生詞只能猜出大概的意思，有的生詞則根本無法猜出其意思。一般來說，碰到一、兩個不會的詞，無關緊要。重要的是，要弄懂整篇文章表達了什么思想。在閱讀理解中要求判斷詞語意義的問題，通常有下列形式： 1. According to the author, the word means ___________ . 2. By the author means ___________ . 3. Which of the following is nearestin meaning to ? 4. The word in the passage means ___________ . 5. is ___________ . 6. The word most likely means ___________ .
