雅思阅读根据定义进行生词猜想例如： anthropology is the scientific study of man. 由定义可知，anthropology 就是讨论人类的科学。 In slang the term jam constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation. 同样，从上下文的定义可知 jam 一词在俚语中的意思是困境。 定义句的谓语动词多为：be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, refer to, be called, be known as, define, represent, signify, constitute 等。 2. 根据复述猜想词义 虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细，但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。 复述部分可以适当词、短语或是从句。 同位语 Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently. 此例逗号中短语意为对词意义进行讨论的学科。该短语与前面生词 semanties式同位关系，因此我们不难猜出 semanties 指语义学。 在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接，有时也使用破折号，冒号，分 号，引号，和括号等。 Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits. 由同位语我们很快猜出生词 capacitance 词义---电容量。 需要注意的是：同位语前 还常有 or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say i. e. 等副词或短语出现。 定语从句 Krabacber suffers from SAD, which is short for seasonal affective disorder, a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings. 根据生词 SAD 后面定语从句 which is short for seasonal affective disorder 和同位语 a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings, 我们可以推断出 SAD 含义，即季节性情绪紊乱症。 3. 根据举例猜想词义 恰当的举例能够提供猜想生词的重要线索，例如： The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past. 句中战争和重大科学发现是生词的实例，通过它们我们可以猜出 epochal...
