高中英语词义猜测题解题技巧
高中英语词义猜测题解题技巧考点:1、猜测某个词、词组、句子的意义;2、对文中的多义词或词组进行定义;3、判断某个代词的指代的对象。
常见命题形式有:The underlined word/phrase in the second paragraph means _____.The word “it/they”in the last sentence refers to______.The word “…”(Line 6. para.2)probably means ______.The word “…”(Line 6. para.2)could best be replaced by which of the following?Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “…”?解题技巧1、通过因果关系猜词通过因果关系猜词首先是找出生词与上下文之间的逻辑关系,然后才能猜词。
有时文章借助关联词(如because,as,since,for,so,thus,as a result,of course,therefore 等等)表示前因后果。
例如:You shouldn't have blamed him for that,for it wasn't his fault. 通过for 引出的句子所表示的原因(那不是他的错),可猜出blame的词义是"责备"。
2、通过同义词和反义词的关系猜词通过同义词猜词,一是要看由and或or连接的同义词词组,如happy and gay,即使我们不认识gay这个词,也可以知道它是愉快的意思;二是看在进一步解释的过程中使用的同义词,如Man has known something about the planets Venus,Mars,and Jupiter with the help of spaceships. 此句中的Venus(金星)、Mars(火星)、Jupiter(木星)均为生词,但只要知道planets就可猜出这几个词都属于"行星"这一义域。

高考英语阅读理解解题指导:破解猜测词义题
高考英语阅读理解解题指导:破解猜测词义题猜测词义是英语阅读理解的重要考点之一,近几年高考试题中都会有一个小题考查词义猜测。
词义猜测题可以针对单词、短语的意思进行命题考查,还可以针对某一句子的准确理解或代词的精确指代进行设题。
除了直接考查单词或短语词义猜测外,在阅读理解文章中,总会有一些单词或短语超出了新课标词汇表的范围,但又没有附加注释,而需要考生猜测,这也是对词义猜测的一种间接考查。
1.利用释义法解题在说明文尤其是科技类说明文中,作者通常会对一些关键词或专业术语进行解释。
常见的有对该词下定义或后跟同位语、定语从句、冒号、破折号、括号等引出解释说明部分。
通过阅读定义或解释部分,读者便可理解该词或短语的意思。
【考例1】(2022年全国乙卷,C篇)29. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Personnel safety.B. Assistance from drones.C. inspection and repair.D. Construction of infrastructure.解析:原文:That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts.“including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure”对“maintenance”进行了解释,故推测maintenance是“维护,保养”的意思,C项inspection and repair与句中的inspect and repair对应。

【思维导图】【词义猜测题微技能】1.单词或短语意义猜测词汇量小是制约学生阅读理解能力的一个重要因素。
具体技巧如下:(1)根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。
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。
(2)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短语意义进行猜测。
(3)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或相反的,由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域,进而可推知其大致意思。
(4)根据构词法(合成、派生、转化等)进行猜测。
在英语中,有很多词可以在前面加前缀或在后面加后缀,从而构成另外一个词,乍看起来,这个词可能是新词,但掌握一定的构词知识,就不难猜出它的词义了。
高考语文阅读理解中的词义猜测方法
高考语文阅读理解中的词义猜测方法高考语文考试中的阅读理解部分是考察学生的阅读和理解能力的重要环节,其中一个常见的考点就是词义猜测。
很多同学在面对陌生词汇时往往感到困惑,不知道如何推测词义。
本文将介绍几种常见的词义猜测方法,帮助同学们在解答阅读理解时更加得心应手。
1. 上下文猜测法上下文猜测法是指通过前后文的语境信息来猜测词义。
在阅读理解中,作者通常会用其他词语或句子来解释、限制或具体描述一个特定词汇。
通过仔细观察前后文的关系,可以推测出该词的意思。
例子:“他长得极为憔悴,面色苍白,瘦得像个纸片人。
”在这句话中,“憔悴”这个词可能是形容人面容憔悴,与后文中的“面色苍白”、“瘦得像个纸片人”相呼应,可以推测出“憔悴”的意思是形容人疲惫不堪、面容憔悴的样子。
2. 词根词缀猜测法词根词缀猜测法是指通过词根、前缀或后缀来推测词义。
在阅读理解中,有些词汇的词义和其他相关词汇的词根、前缀或后缀有关,通过对词根、前缀或后缀的了解,可以猜测出词义。
例子:“他的描述充满了乐观主义,完全没有考虑到实际情况。
”在这句话中,“乐观主义”可能是一个合成词,通过对词根和前缀的分析,可以推测出“乐观主义”的意思是指对事物持乐观态度、坚信美好事物会发生的一种观点。
3. 比喻猜测法比喻猜测法是指通过词语的比喻或类比意义来推测词义。
在阅读理解中,有些词汇可能在字面意义上并不容易理解,但通过将其与其他相关词语进行比较或类比,可以推测出词义。
例子:“他的眼神如烈焰般炙热。
”在这句话中,“炙热”这个词用来形容眼神,通过与“烈焰”进行比喻,可以推测出“炙热”的意思是形容眼神充满激情和热情的样子。
4. 示意词猜测法示意词猜测法是指通过作者提供的示意词来推测词义。
在阅读理解中,有些词汇可能作者会附带提供近义词或近义短语,以便帮助读者推测出词的意思。
例子:“这种冷饮味道极为独特,酸甜可口。
”在这句话中,作者通过提供“酸甜可口”这个示意词,可以推测出“味道极为独特”的意思是指冷饮有一种与众不同的、酸甜可口的味道。
词义猜测题解题技巧
词义猜测题解题技巧词义猜测题是中考英语阅读理解题中必考题之一,主要考查同学们语篇分析、逻辑推理等综合能力。
解题时,同学们要注意把握技巧,根据上下文逻辑关系、标点符号、构词规则等,准确猜测生词词义。
一、词义猜测类题目常见的设问方式:1.The word"..."refers to/probably means_____.2.The underlined word "..." could best be replaced by_.3.What does the expression"..."stand for?4.By saying"..."we mean____.5."..."as used in the passage can best be defined as___——·6.Which of the following words can take the place of the word"..."?二、词义猜测题是指利用语境(上下文)推测、判断某些生词词义的题。
在近几年的高考阅读试题中词义猜测题的考查力度逐步加大。
词义猜测是一项阅读技巧,主要考查考生根据上下文推断单词意思的能力。
因此,所考单词的意义通常超出大纲范围——超纲词义含义推断、熟词生义或熟词在特定语境中的意思。
词义猜测题常考查对句中关键性词语(实词、短语、指代关系等)的理解。
三、【解题流程】“一原则”、“二关注”速解词义猜测题一原则结合上下文词义猜测题所提问的单词、词组或句子一般都是考生不认识的,即使认识,正确答案也未必是熟悉的含义。
这种题目目的就是希望考生能结合上下文,来理解不认识的单词、词组或句子。
二关注关注并列转折部分这是做词义猜测题的一大利器。
因为由并列转折连接的两部分会存在语义含义和成分的对应。

初三英语阅读理解技巧词义猜测题的解题技巧
初三英语阅读理解技巧词义猜测题的解题技巧初三英语阅读理解技巧:词义猜测题的解题技巧在初三英语的学习中,阅读理解是一个重要的部分,而词义猜测题则是阅读理解中的常见题型。
对于很多同学来说,这类题目可能具有一定的挑战性,但只要掌握了正确的解题技巧,就能轻松应对。
接下来,我将为大家详细介绍初三英语阅读理解中词义猜测题的解题技巧。
一、通过上下文语境猜测词义上下文语境是猜测词义最常用也是最有效的方法之一。
在阅读过程中,我们可以通过前后的句子、段落来推断生词的含义。
例如,如果生词前后出现了解释说明的语句,那么这些语句往往能帮助我们理解词义。
比如:“The term ‘ecosystem’ refers to a communityof living organisms and their environment ”在这个句子中,“refers to”后面的内容就是对“ecosystem”这个词的解释,即“生态系统是指生物群落及其环境”,从而我们可以理解“ecosystem”的意思。
再比如,有时候上下文会通过对比、类比的方式来暗示生词的词义。
如果文中提到“A is different from B B is known as a kind of vehicle, whileA is a tool used for writing ”那么我们就可以推测出 A 可能是某种书写工具。
此外,上下文的逻辑关系也能为词义猜测提供线索。
比如因果关系、转折关系等。
如果文中说“Although he was very tired, he still insisted on working ”通过“although”所表示的转折关系,我们可以猜测“insisted on”可能有“坚持”的意思。
二、利用构词法猜测词义英语中有很多单词是通过构词法构成的,了解常见的构词法可以帮助我们猜测词义。
前缀和后缀是常见的构词元素。
比如“un”“dis”“in”等前缀通常表示否定;“ful”“less”“able”“ous”等后缀可以改变单词的词性和意思。
词义猜测题解题技巧
高一英语培优材料词义猜测题的解题技巧这类题包括词义猜测和句意猜测两类;词义又包括单词和短语意义。
近几年的高考阅读理解题中一般有2至3个小题是直接考查词句意义猜测的。
对词义考查主要有对生词词义的推测和对熟词生义的推测或是在特定场合下对词或句子的理解。
这里着重谈一谈如何猜测词的意思。
1、根据转折关系根据上下句之间表示转折或对比关系的连接词,如but, however, otherwise, though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,来确定另一词的含义。
另外,分号也可以表示转折,对比或不相干的意义。
如:例1:Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it. (广东卷)What does genius mean? _____________________例2: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. (全国卷)·What does the underlined word “hassle” probably mean?A. A party designed by specialistsB. A plan requiring careful thoughtC. A situation causing difficulty or troubleD. A demand made by guests2、根据对比关系表示对比关系的标志词有:unlike, not, while, on the other hand, in spite of, in contrast等。

阅读理解题型专讲专练之三:【词义猜测题】常见的解题方法:(一)上下文线索猜测词义任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的,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而推测词义,是阅读过程中的一大关键,也是高考的热点。
如:If he thinks he can invite me out, he is all wet. I don’t like to be with him.A. drunkB. sweatingC. happyD. mistaken(1)The climate of the west coast is the most moderate ( )in Canada, summers are cool and fairly dry and winters are mild, cloudy and wet. Even in mid-winter, the temperature is usually above freezing.(2)All the houses in the city collapsed ( ) during the earthquake.(3)For people who live within a stone’s throw ( ) from the office to be late to work is unforgivable(4)The conflagration( ) was so fierce that with just a few second one could see towering flames where the house had stood and the smoke which filled the sky could be seen for miles and miles.(二)根据定义或解释猜测词义阅读文章中的有些生词尤其是新闻报导及科普类文章中的生词,往往在其后有对该词进行解释说明性的短语或句子,如to be, that is , mean, stand for, namely, refer to, to mean ,in other words等,有时也以同位语、定语从句的形式出现,或用破折号、括号来表示。
文字推理猜测词义的技巧与方法
文字推理猜测词义的技巧与方法字词是语言的基本单位,正确理解字词的意义对于阅读和沟通至关重要。
然而,在阅读过程中,我们难免会遇到一些生疏或不熟悉的词汇,这时候就需要运用文字推理的技巧来猜测词义。
本文将介绍几种常见的文字推理猜测词义的技巧与方法,帮助读者提高词汇理解能力。
一、上下文暗示法上下文暗示法是最常用的推理词义的方法之一。
通过把握上下文的逻辑关系,利用前后文的线索以及语境信息来推测词义。
上下文暗示法可以分为词法推理和句法推理两种。
词法推理是通过关注前后词汇的关系来推测词义。
比如,在下列句子中,“她慈祥地看着我,眼中闪烁着聪明的光芒。
”根据前后词的关系,我们可以猜测出“慈祥”和“聪明”可能是正面的词义。
句法推理则是通过分析句子结构和语法关系来进行推测。
比如,“我们应该采取灵活的措施,才能有效应对这个问题。
”在这个句子中,“灵活”的词义可以通过对比“措施”和“有效”来进行推断。
二、词根词缀法词根词缀法是通过对单词中的词根和词缀进行分析,推断出词义。
英语中,很多单词都是由词根和词缀构成的,词根和词缀中包含的信息可以帮助我们推测出单词的意义。
比如,“biology(生物学)”一词中,“bio-”表示“生命”,“-logy”表示“学科”,通过分析词根词缀,我们可以推测出biology的意义是“生物学”。
三、同义词反义词法同义词反义词法是通过寻找句子中与目标词义相似或相反的词汇来猜测词义。
如果我们在阅读中遇到一个生词,但是句子中同时出现了一个我们熟悉的词,而这个熟悉的词和生词有着相似的意义,那么我们可以推测出生词的意义和这个熟悉的词相同或相似。
反之,如果一个生词和我们熟悉的词反义关系,那么我们可以推测生词的意义和熟悉的词相反。
通过这种方法,我们可以有效地推测出生词的意义,提高词汇的理解能力。
四、文化背景法语言是文化的一部分,很多词汇的意义在不同的文化背景下会有所不同。
因此,了解文化背景可以帮助我们更好地理解词义。

词义猜测题的解题技巧作者:杨富章来源:《高中生学习·高三文综版》2015年第04期词义猜测题是高考阅读理解题中的一种常见题型。
通过对近几年湖北卷高考题的阅读理解题的统计,我们会发现2014年词义猜测题在阅读理解部分有1题,2013年考了1道,而2012年湖北卷考了4道。
虽然近两年直接考查这种能力的题目不多,但是这种不借助词典,而是通过阅读上下文来推断生词含义的能力,是同学们在考试时必须具备的,它能让我们更好地理解上下文,其实这也是阅读理解题对这种能力的间接考查。
词义猜测题的常见考点有:1. 直接猜测某个词的含义;2. 判断文中的某个代词指代的对象;3. 对文中的多义词或短语进行精确定义;4. 对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语等进行直接或解释性的描述。
常见设问形式有:1.The word “ABC”in the passage probably means .2.The underlined word “ABC” in the passage ref ers to/means .3.Which of the following is closest/nearest in meaning to the underlined word in the second paragraph?4.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means .5.The word “it/them” in the first paragraph refers to .词义猜测题的解题技巧我们可以归纳为8条:1.根据近义词关系推测。
作者可能会用一个近义词或者同义词去解释另一个更难的词,以使它的意思更清楚。
我们可以通过寻找近义词来推测生词的意思:一要看由and或or连接的同义词词组;二要看在进一步解释的过程中使用的同义词。
近义词往往出现在同一句或者同一段落中。
如:At the beginning they did not have enough capital to start a business,nor were they able to borrow the amount of money they needed from the bank.根据nor结构后的money,bank可以推测capital在这里不是指“首都”而是指“资金”。
2.根据反义词关系推测。
作者常常通过使用反义词来使文章更具表现力,我们可以利用反义词作为线索去推测句中出现的生词的意思:一看表转折关系的连词或副词,如but,while,however等;二看与not搭配的或表示否定意义的词语。
如:He is so homely,not at all as handsome as his brother.根据not at all...handsome我们不难推测出homely即“不英俊的、不漂亮的”意思。
Metal expands when heated and contracts when cooled.从句子结构看,expand与contract相对应,when heated与when cooled相对应。
因为“加热”与“使冷却”是相反的动作,那么contract就应是“收缩”的意思。
3.根据同位或解释关系推测。
当作者不能肯定读者能够理解他的意思时,他会用另外一种方式陈述自己的观点。
我们可以通过生词后的定语(定语从句或分词短语等)、表语、同位语、逗号、括号、破折号等的解释说明来推测生词的意思。
常见的用来表示同位或解释关系的词或短语有:is,means,or...;that is,that is to say;in other words,to put it another way,be called,...is/are known as,...can be defined as等。
如:But sometimes,no rain falls for a long,long time. Then there is a dry period,or drought.由or可知a dry period和drought是同义语。
故drought的意思为“久旱,旱灾”。
It will be very hard but also very brittle—that is,it will break easily.从后面的that is,it will break easily可知brittle的意思是“脆的”。
4.根据转折或对比关系推测。
由上下句之间的表示转折或对比关系的连词或副词,如but,however等来推断。
如:She is usually prompt for all her class,but today she arrived in the middle of her first class.由but后面“第一节课上了一半才来”反向推理,可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。
5.根据因果关系推测。
通过因果关系猜词,首先是找出生词与上下文之间的逻辑关系,然后才能猜词,既可由因推果,也可由果推因。
有时文章借助关联词,如because,as,since,for,so,thus,as a result,of course,therefore等表示因果关系。
如:You shouldn’t ha ve blamed him for that,for it wasn’t his fault.通过for引出的句子所表示的原因(那不是他的错),可猜出blame的词义是“责备”。
The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken. Sometimes the weakness was permanent.So the player could never play the sport again.从so后面的结果“再也不能运动”中,可以推测 permanent的意思为“永远的,永久的”。
6.根据列举的实例推测。
根据such as,for example等后列举的实例可推测出前面某个词语的意思。
如:Cars must have certain safety devices such as seat belt,headlights,and good brakes.根据such as后面列举的内容可知devices应该为“装置”的意思。
7.根据并列同类关系推测。
一般来说,并列的几个事物应属同类事物,由此可推测其中一个的大概意思。
如:Bananas,oranges,pineapples,coconuts and some other kind of fruit grow in warm areas.从句子中不难看出pineapples,coconuts和bananas,oranges是同类关系,同属fruit类,因此它们是两样水果,准确地说,是“菠萝”和“椰子”。
8.根据描述推测。
描述即作者为帮助读者更深入感性地了解某人或某物而对该人或该物外在相貌或内在特征的描写。
如:The penguin is a kind of sea bird living in the South Pole. It is fat and walks in a funny way. Although it cannot fly,it can swim in the icy water to catch the fish.从描述中可以得知penguin是一种生活在南极的鸟类,后面更详尽的描述则让我们推测出它其实是“企鹅”。
例1 Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success.According to the study,if the cat is adopted before the dog,and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats,a year for dogs),it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly.Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .A.earlyB.sweetlyC.quicklyD.smoothly解析第一句提出问题“猫狗能否同屋和谐相处”,第二句讲人们“担心猫狗打架”,第三句说最新的研究发现成功解决猫狗打架的“新秘方(a new recipe of success)”,接下来就应该讲什么是“秘方”了,包含swimmingly一词的句子便是“秘方”所在。
if引导条件状语从句,意为满足这些条件(即“秘方”),猫狗就会“相处好”;再由本句后面一句中的a positive relationship between their cat and dog可以进一步确定说的是猫狗“相处得好”,故选D。
