作者:籍万杰 王金龙 近几年的高考阅读理解题越来越重视对考生猜词悟义能力的考查,一般有二至三个小题是直接考查词义猜测的。这主要考查考生根据上下文推测生词短语的能力,突出考查语境的分析和把握能力。本文结合高考试题谈一谈如何猜测词的意思。 一、根据上下文情景进行猜测 猜测任何词义都离不开上下文的语境,所以可借助上下文语境对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。 1. (2004年全国卷I,B篇) 62. The underlined word "Change" in the second paragraph means _______. A. Idea B. Decision C. Cups D. Coins [原文] So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms. Her "Change for Change" effort has collected $ 40,000 for charities(慈善机构) , which were decided upon by students. [解析]根据上文她把杯子放在学生宿舍里收集硬币,以及下文中谈到已经为慈善机构募集到了$ 40,000可知,Change应是Coins(硬币)。答案为D。 二、 根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测 英语中代词使用得比较频繁,文章中的代词one, it, that, he, him 或them等可以指上文提到的人或事物。有时代词与指代的对象相隔较远,要认真查找;有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结,才能得出代词所指代的事。 2. (2004年全国卷III,C篇) 65. The underlined word "one" in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A. the President B. the director C. an actor D. a look-alike [原文] The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to "serve his country" by becoming one. [解析]根据前文总统开始在公共场合使用替身(look-alikes),后来Dave有机会成为了其中的一员可以猜测出one应该是a look-alike。答案为D。 三、根据同义关系进行猜测 当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时,其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的,由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域,由此可推知其大致意思。 3. (2004年重庆卷,C篇) 66. The underlined word "conflict" in the second letter means ________. A. dependent life B. fierce fight C. bad manners D. painful feeling [原文] And if you've gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with-or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. [解析] 由破折号后的or可知,前后两句的意思相近,再结合两封信的内容可知,她不想失去或破坏这个友好氛围,否则就又让她回到以前的"冲突"中。答案为B。 四、根据同位关系进行猜测 阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语,对其进行解释,这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。 4. (2004年上海卷,C篇) 82. The word "favouritism" in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that ________. B. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs C. poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success [原文] Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them-a form of favouritism will replace equality. [解析] 破折号后的句子是对前面进行解释说明的,二者是同位关系,因此,要猜测favouritism的意思,可从前面句子的意思入手。答案为B。 五、根据转折或对比关系进行猜测 根据上下句的连接词,如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定另一句的含义。另外,分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。 5. (NMET2002, E篇)74. What does the underlined word "hassle"(paragraph 1) probably mean? A. a party designed by specialists B. a plan requiring careful thought C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble D. a demand made by guests [原文] A child's birthday party doesn't have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months. [解析] 通过上下句A child's birthday party doesn't have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun.可以看出,hassle和a basket of fun肯定是近乎相反的意义。所以不难判断,答案为C。 |
