2017新课标高考英语阅读理解猜测词意(词义)解题策略(附带答案)

2017届新课标高考英语阅读理解猜测词意（词义）解题策略

高考考情分析解读：

词义猜测题是高考阅读理解题中的一种常见的题型。词义猜测可以是对一个单词的意义推断，也可以是对一个短语或一个句子的意义推断，既可以是生词生义，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。通过对近年新课标全国卷分析统计来看，词义猜测题一般有1－2题。考查相对比较稳定，但难度略有增加，需要在复杂的句式中通过上下文综合分析才能得出答案。在词义猜测题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。

2016年全国卷设问形式例子：

(1)What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？(2016年课标全国卷Ⅱ)

(2)What does the underline phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean？(2016年课标全国卷Ⅲ)

(3)What does the word “contributions” in t he last paragraph refer to？(2015年课标全国卷Ⅰ)

常见的命题形式有：

The underlined word in the second paragraph means “________”．

Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph?

The underlined word “________” in Paragraph 2can best be replaced by “________”．

What does the phrase “________”in Paragraph 1 mean?

单词或短语意思猜测题 该题型着重考查考生根据上下文猜测词义的能力，这也是一个从“已知”得出“未知”的过程，即利用上下文的已知部分(尤其是该词或短语前后的句子)进行推理，有时还需要依靠常识和经验来猜测词义。考查范围涉及对某个生词或短语的含义的猜测、对某个熟词进行生义的猜测或考查该词能被哪个单词或短语代替等。
