下面结合近几年高考试题,对猜词悟义的技
巧加以解读。
1、根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测
吉檀迦利读音有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或
短语,下面接着出现其定义或解释,这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如:
Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.
句子给予annealing 以明确的定义,即“退火”。
It will be very hard but also very brittle — that is, it will break easily.
从后面that is(也就是说)的解释中我们可以了解到brittle是“脆”的意思。简陋
The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year.
定语从句中 looks after sheep 就表明了herdsman的词义为“牧羊人”。
【考例】
重度贫血是什么原因引起的(2014福建卷,E篇)73. The underlined words “tipping points” most probably refer to “_______”.
A. freezing points
B. burning points
C. melting points
水痘是什么样的D. boiling points
【解析】C。请看原文:In his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to
keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting(融化)of the ice sheets in Greenland or
West Antarctica. 根据后一句的such as the melting(融化)of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica.可知tipping points 的意思是“融点”。
(2013山东卷,C篇) underlined word
“daunting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means __________.
A. discouraging
B. interesting
平衡状态C. creative男生假发
D. unbearable
【解析】A。请看文章第一段:When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-bad learning was the focus and music just provided a break for
students and teachers.
由后半句的解释“…with almost no money for equipment or supplies…”可知此项任务不可能是“interesting”或“creative”,而她的教学工作也与“unbearable”无关,故A项正确。
2、根据同位关系进行猜测
清晨鸟语花香
阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位
语,对前面的词进行解释,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。例如:
They traveled a long way, at last got to
a castle, a large building in old times.
