中考英语阅读理解词义猜测技巧词义猜测是英语阅读的严重技巧,它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且需要掌握或认识较多的课外词汇,在一定程度上考查考生的逻辑推断能力,是阅读能力的一个严重组成部分。
下面介绍几种多见的词义猜测技巧。
一、根据定义或释义猜测词义1. Insomnia is the inability of falling asleep orsleeping restlessly.根据后面的解释,不难猜出insomnia是“失眠”的意思。
2.Hetakesaspecialinterestinbotanywhichconcernsthe study of plants.根据定语从句which concerns the study of plants可知botany是“植物学”的意思。
二、根据转折或对比关系猜测词义在有些文章中,通常会出现一些表示意义转折、对比的词语,如however,but,ontheotherhand,onthecontrary,insteadof, while, unlike, not, although, yet, despite, in spiteof, in contrast, on the other hand等。
我们根据这些词语可以看到前后句在意义上的差别,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定某个词的含义。
例如:1.Mr.Greenisalwayspunctualforeverything,butforsomereasonhewaslateforanim portantmeetingforanhourlast week.本句中but词表示转折,由but后面的内容he was late可以知道punctual的意思与其相反,意思是“守时的,准时的”。
2. Most of us agreed, however, Bill dissented.大部分人同意,however表示转折,可推知dissent意思为“不同意”。

2、解题思路与技巧能根据上、下文正确判断灵活变化的词义，才算是真正具备了一定的阅读能力，这种不使用词典而通过上、下文语境来认识生词的能力，是我们学生必备的能力。
一般来说，推测词义的题目中所出现的单词，绝大多数的词学生过去没有见过，这就需要我们在该词出现的不同的上下文中去搜索线索，通过上、下文，就能帮助我们初步断定该词在文中的真正含义。
然后将这个释义带到文中，检查其释义是否贴切，所以，我们见到这种题型不要慌张，要将该词所出现的情景，根据上、下文仔细比较，从中得到该词的确切含义。
二、经典例题（一）Go and watch the baby when he is asleep, see how his chest rises and falls, then rises and falls again.He does not know what he is doing, but he breathes as well as the oldest and cleverest man in the world. He began to breathe when he was born, and he will not stop until he dies, still he does it without thinking about it.See how long you can hold your breath.In some places men dive in the sea for pearls. They pick up shells that hold the pearls, and the longer they stay under water the more pearls they can find. For the reason（原因）they hold their breath for a long time.Watch do see how many times a man draws his breath every minute. Some men breathe fifteen times a minute. An elephant breathes only eight times. It was told that a mouse breathes a hundred and twenty times each minute.No one needs to tell us that what we breathe every minute of every day is air. It is around us everywhere, like wonder sea that we can not see.The word “It” in the last paragraph means .A. wonderful seaB. airC. a mouseD. anelephant（二）Australia nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest state （州）in America. Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometres away.The two-day radio is very important to people who live in these great Australia farms. It works much like a telephone A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer. For example, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after sick person. As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were started for them in some places. At a certain（某一）time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities far away.Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours. The programme “Round Robin” talks by radio were started to keep families in touch with（保持联系）each other. They could talk about who was going away and who was ill. The men could talk about their sheep and cows and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.The word “sick” in the second paragraph means .A. illB. poorC. kindD. healthy三、过手训练AThe world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means（通信设备）. Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution（污染）. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules（法规）to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal （煤）in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused（引起）by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means .A. rubbish（垃圾）B. noise pollutionC. air pollutionD. water pollutionBWe live in the “Computer age”. People like scientists（科学家）, teachers, writers（作家）and students use computers to do all kinds of work. But more than 30 years ago, computers couldn’t do much. They were very big and expensive. Very few people were interested in them and know how to use them. Today computers are smaller and cheaper. Since they can do a lot of work, many people like to use them. Some people even have them at home.Computers become very important because they can work faster than men and make fewer mistakes. Computers can help people do a lot of work. Writers now use computers to write. Teachers use them to help teaching. Students use them to study and children use them to play games. Computers can also remember what you put into them. Computers are very useful and helpful. They are our good friends. Do you want to have a computer?What’s the Chinese for “computer age”?A. 计算机年龄B. 计算机时代C. 计算机时间D. 计算机空间C“This is really a very fast game, the fastest one I have seen this year.

This is only his third game for England, but he’s playing so well that it won’t be this best. I’m quite sure.”“Willis passes the ball to Cotton. Cotton kicks it over the waiting Frenchmen towards the goal mouth. But he’s too far away. Duppont picks it up easily, and throws it to Paton, out the left.”“France and England still have one goal each, and there are only two minutes left. But in that time, anything can happen. Paton kicks the ball across to Grozat. It’s a beautiful kick, but stevens jumps and just stops the ball with the side of his head. But Menier is there. He passes it to Grozat and Grozat, without waiting a second, puts the ball into the back of the goal. It takes everyone by surprise. I have never seen a goal like it.”“And the game is over.

You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. H ere is an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall（瀑布）though it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility（可信性）. Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they also very good.In the passage, the w ord “express” means .A. seeB. showC. knowD. feelEMr. White has a good black and white TV set. It works very well.

It is often spent travelling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills.Gap years are popular with European and Australian students, but remain less popular in America. However, in recent years, more and more American students are preparing for college by taking a gap year. The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows：Learn about the World and YourselfAlthough you don’t have to go abroad to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. Theexperiences of different cultures offer you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.Face Challenges and Have FunA gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges.

Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.Save Money and Improve Your College Admission ChancesThere’s a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but it’s not true. Actually, taking a gap year can save your money. Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals ran keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing. Imagine an admission officer trying to admit (录取) only one between two students. Both of them are excellent and have high grades. However, one student has much practical experience or has volunteered in his vacation. Who do you think the admission officer will choose?1. A “Gap Year” means _______ in the passage.A. going abroad in a year for further educationB. travelling around the world in a yearC. taking a break before going to a universityD. doing a part-time job to make money during a vacation2.

When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu (流感) that’s been going around?A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But i t’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.Don’t worry.If you get a flu vaccine (疫苗), it can stop you from getting the virus (病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies (抗体). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore, there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu.That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.However, good health habits may also help stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增强免疫系统).根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Sometimes when we are reading a passage, we may come across words that we don't know the meaning of. But don't worry, there are some tricks that can help us figure out the meaning without looking it up in the dictionary.First of all, when we don't know a word, we can try to look at the surrounding words to see if they give us any clues. For example, if we see the word "feline," we can take a look at the sentence and see if it mentions things like "purr," "whiskers," or "cat." These words are related to cats, so we can guess that "feline" might mean something to do with cats.Secondly, we can also look at the root of the word. Many English words come from Latin or Greek roots, and if we know the root, we can often guess the meaning. For example, the word "hydrophobia" has the root "hydro," which means water. So, we can guess that "hydrophobia" might mean fear of water.Another tip is to think about the context of the passage. Sometimes, even if we don't know the exact meaning of a word, we can still understand what is happening in the passage. For example, if we read a sentence like "The astronaut was elated ashe stepped onto the moon," we can guess that "elated" means happy or excited from the context.Lastly, if all else fails, we can try to visualize the word. Close your eyes and try to picture what the word might mean based on the sounds it makes. Sometimes, this can help us come up with a close guess.So remember, if you come across a word you don't know while reading a passage, don't panic! Use these tips and tricks to help you guess the meaning.

This skill is called "inferencing", and it's super helpful when you come across a word you don't know during the reading comprehension part of the test.So, how do we do this? Well, first things first, read the sentence the word is in carefully. Look for clues about what the word might mean. Sometimes, the sentence itself will give you a hint.Next, look at the words around the tricky word. Do any of them give you a clue? Sometimes, words that are similar to the tricky word can help you figure out what it means.Another thing you can do is think about the overall meaning of the paragraph or passage. Does the word fit with the rest of the text? If it does, it can help you figure out what the word means.If all else fails, try to break the word down into smaller parts. Maybe you know what one part of the word means, which can help you figure out the whole thing.Remember, it's okay to guess! Sometimes, you won't know the exact meaning of a word, but you can make an educated guess based on the context.So, keep practicing this skill, guys! It'll definitely come in handy during the exam. Good luck!篇10Hello everyone! Today, I'm gonna tell you some cool tips and tricks for answering inference questions in the Reading section of the middle school entrance exam.First things first, what are inference questions? These tricky little buggers ask you to figure out the meaning of the text by using clues from the passage. It's like being a detective, trying to piece together information to solve a mystery!So, how do you tackle these questions? Well, here are some tips to help you out:1. Pay attention to details: Sometimes, the answer to an inference question is hidden in the smallest details of the passage. Look for words or phrases that might give you a hint about what's going on.2. Look for clues: The author of the passage may not come right out and say something directly. Instead, they might hint at it through the use of descriptive language or by providing examples. Keep an eye out for these clues to help you understand the text better.3. Use your own knowledge: Sometimes, you'll need to use your own background knowledge to make an inference. If the passage mentions something you already know about, use that information to help you make connections and draw conclusions.4. Eliminate wrong answers: If you can't figure out the answer right away, try eliminating the options that are obviously wrong. This can help you narrow down your choices and improve your chances of selecting the correct answer.Remember, practice makes perfect! So, go ahead and try out these tips on some practice passages. The more you practice, the better you'll get at answering inference questions. Good luck and happy reading!。

英语单词大多是由词根、词头（前缀） 和词尾（后缀）所组成。词根是单词最基 本的部分，表达单词的基本含义。在词根 前或后加上前缀或后缀，可以用来引申或 转变原词的意义。只要我们掌握了各种词 根、词头和词尾的基本含义，那么就可以 很容易猜测出由其构成的新词的含义了。
中学英语中常见的前缀和后缀有：
super- (超)
Cleaning 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.
初中英语阅读理解中的词义猜测技巧
初中英语阅读理解中的词义猜测技巧在初中英语学习中，阅读理解是一个重要的部分，而词义猜测则是阅读理解中的一项关键技能。
当我们遇到不熟悉的单词或短语时，如果能够准确地猜测出它们的意思，将有助于我们更好地理解整篇文章。
下面，我将为大家介绍一些在初中英语阅读理解中实用的词义猜测技巧。
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。
我们可以通过阅读单词或短语所在的句子以及前后的句子，来获取相关的线索。
例如，如果一个句子中提到“John was so hungry that he devoured the entire pizza in minutes” 在这里，我们不认识“devoured”这个词，但通过前面提到“John 很饿”以及后面“整个披萨在几分钟内”，可以猜测“devoured”是“狼吞虎咽地吃”的意思。
再比如，“The weather was extremely hot, and people sought refuge in the shade” 从“天气非常热”以及“在阴凉处”，可以推断出“sought refuge”大概是“寻找庇护、躲避”的意思。
二、利用定义、解释或同位语猜测词义有些文章会直接对生词进行定义、解释或者通过同位语来帮助读者理解词义。
比如，“A thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperature” 很明显，通过“is an instrument used to measure temperature”（是一种用来测量温度的仪器），我们能明白“thermometer”是“温度计”的意思。
又或者，“My sister, Mary, who is a doctor, always works very hard” 这里“who is a doctor”就是对“Mary”的同位语解释，让我们知道 Mary 的职业是医生。
中考英语阅读之猜测词义和推理判断讲解
中考英语阅读之猜测词义和推理判断讲解中考英语阅读理解常见的考题主要是四大类型，主旨大意、细节题、推断题、猜测词义。
本专题分为两节，本节进行猜测词义题和推理判断题的解析一、中考阅读理解目标要求表二、题型技巧精讲1.猜测词义题（指代题）猜测词义题是阅读理解部分常见的一个测试项目，主要用来测试考生对文章中出现的熟悉或不熟悉的词或词组的意义的理解能力。
当遇到不认识的而又是要测试的生词时，要通过上下文去进行猜测。
注意与这个词紧密相连的前后几个词语的意思，特别是后面有同位语、破折号或括号时，就更容易猜测了，因为同位语、破折号或括号就是注释。
其次，利用构词法来进行猜测。
常用的构词法有派生法，转化法以及合成法。
英语中有相当大一部分单词都是由上述三种构词法变来的，这些词的构成一般都有一定的规律，掌握一些常见的规律，对于猜测考试中遇到的生词大有帮助。
猜测词义题的提问形式主要有：(1) The underlined sentence “No one can live a completely isolated life” means ___________ in this passage.(2) What does the underlined word “raised” mean in Paragraph 2?典型例题Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have troubles in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some English from the VOA or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.1. “Beyond your level” means something __________.A. easy for youB. too difficult for youC. not too easy and not too difficult for youD. just all right for you2. In this passage, VOA stands for __________.A. a bookB. a magazineC. a textbookD. a radio program1. 【答案】B【讲解】“Beyond your level”的意思是“超出了你的水平”，也就是对你来说太难了，因此答案选择B项。
中考英语阅读理解 猜词题 解题技巧
中考英语阅读理解猜词题解题技巧一、了解猜词题的基本要求猜词题是中考英语阅读理解题中常见的一种题型，通常要求考生根据上下文和语墅提示来猜测词语的意思。
考生在解答猜词题时，需要具备一定的词汇量和语境分析能力，同时还需要掌握一些解题技巧，才能更好地完成这类题目。
二、掌握常见的猜词技巧1. 根据上下文猜测词义猜词题通常会提供一段上下文，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系和语墅提示来猜测词语的意思。
在猜测词义时，可以通过理解段落主题、分析句子结构、推断逻辑关系等方法来获取线索，进而推测词语的含义。
在以下句子中：“He is a very diligent student and always finishes his homework on time.”我们可以通过上下文来猜测diligent的意思，因为上文提到他是一个“非常勤奋的学生”，所以diligent的意思可能是勤奋的、努力的。
2. 利用语境提示进行词义推断除了根据上下文猜测词义外，还可以利用语境提示进行词义推断。
比如一些词语的前后文会提供一些提示性的词语，这些提示性词语往往可以帮助我们推测目标词语的意思。
在以下句子中：“W hen the teacher asked a difficult question, the students looked puzzled.”我们可以通过后面的“looked puzzled”来推测difficult的意思，因为学生们显然是对这个问题感到困惑。
3. 掌握常见词义辨析技巧在解答猜词题时，有些词语的词义可能会让考生感到困惑，这时就需要掌握一些词义辨析技巧。
比如通过对比近义词或反义词的意思，来推测目标词语的含义。
在以下句子中：“The music was so loud that it was almost deafening.”我们可以通过对比loud和deafening的意思，来推测deafening的含义，因为loud表示“大声的”，而deafening应该表示“震耳欲聋的”。
中考英语阅读理解猜测词义题答题策略
中考英语阅读理解猜测词义题答题策略所谓猜测词义是指在阅读过程中根据对语篇的信息、逻辑、背景知识及语言结构等的综合理解去猜测或推断某一生词、难词、关键词的意义。
它是一种非常有用的阅读技巧，通过上下文提供的线索或生词本身的结构特点对词义作出正确判断，能提高阅读速度和阅读能力。
那么，怎样猜测何推断生词的意义？这种技巧答题可分两大类：一类是通过上下文推测词义；另一类是根据生词本身的特点推测词义。
通过上下文就是根据词所处的具体的语言环境，运用有关线索，如同义词、反义词、举例、重述、或定义等推测词义，也可运用逻辑推理何其他的知识，如生活经验、普通常识等推测词义。
（1）以定义为线索猜测词义根据上下文以生词为线索猜测词义是进行快速阅读时最常见、最直接的一种猜词方法。
a.以to be (是）mean (意指),refer to (指的是）为线索猜测词义。
Ventilation, as you know, is a system or means of providing fresh air. It p lays a very important part in the field of engineering.句中“ventilation"可能是个生词，但 is 后面是对该词的明确定义。
什么系统或什么手段才能提供新鲜空气呢？所以不难看出" ventilation" 这个词是通风设备。
b, 以 "be defined as"（被定义为），“be known as" (被称为）等结构为线索猜测生词词义。
在这些结构中，“paragon"一词有句子的主语提供出来了，一个人或物是与无伦比的，优秀的典范，这不就是”模范、优秀的人或物”吗？很明显，“be known as" 前面的主语给出了后面 " paragon"的词义。
C, 以定语从句为线索猜测词义在很多情况下，定语从句直接给出了某一生词的定义，所以，以定语从句为线索猜测词义也是一个行之有效的猜词方法。
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。
