阅读理解突破(四)——词义猜测题1．词义猜测题的提问方式(1)Theword“...”refersto/probablymeans________.(2)Theunderlinedword“...”couldbestbereplacedby________.(3)Whatdoyouthinktheexpression“...”standsfor?(4)Bysaying“...”wemean________.(5)“...”asusedinthepassagecanbestbedefinedas________.(6)Whichofthefollowingwordscantaketheplaceoftheword“...”？2．词义猜测题的解题策略(1)利用“同义关系”猜测词义①被考查的词汇在文章中往往被同义词、同位语、定语从句等来解释或限定,根据这些词可以很容易猜测词义。②作者常常会用be,mean,referto,inotherwords,thatis(tosay)等指示性词或词组来对某一词或词组进行解释,那么所给生词和指示词后的含义相同。③有时候标点符号,如破折号、冒号或括号均可以表示同义关系或解释。④有时作者也常用suchas,like,forexample,forinstance等进一步解释说明前面某一词句或某一现象。通过所举的例子,便可理解生词的含义。(2)利用上下文的“对比、转折”关系来猜测词义通过意思相反或对应的两个句子或两部分来判断其中某一部分的意思。这时只要知道其中一部分的含义,则另一部分也就一目了然了。两部分之间常用while,but,however,onthecontrary,ontheotherhand等来表示转折,根据这样的标志词可准确解释词义。(3)根据上下文的因果关系理解词义有什么样的原因就会产生什么样的结果。因果关系是文章中一种很普通的语言表达关系。在这种关系中如果知道了原因,结果也就不难知道了；反之,如果知道了结果,原因也就不难发现。(4)利用构词法来猜测词义很多词是通过构词法得来的,考生若掌握了一定的构词法知识,就不难猜出它们的词义。中学英语中常见的前缀和后缀：super(超),inter(在……之间),able(能……的),mini(极少的,微型的),micro(极微小的),re(再,反复),sub(分支的,底下),co(共同),post(后),pre(前),trans(通过,转换),under(在……之下,次于,不足),hood(状态,性质,时期),ish(如……的,有点儿……的),proof(防……的),scope(……镜),ship(身份,资格,权力,性质),some(易于……的),wards(向),mis(误,恶),un(不,非),in(不,非),im(不,非),dis(不),non(不,非),less(不,无),anti(反,防),Sino(中国)1FormerBritishPrimeMinisterTonyBlairadmittedonatelevisionprogrammethathehadneversentflowerstohiswifeCherieandthatHollywoodbeautyGraceKellywashisdreamlover.Blair,whoallowedChannel4interviewerJuneSarpongtoshadowhimfortwodayslastmonth,madeotherpersonalrevelationswhenaskedquestionsherarelyhearsontheusualtelevisionpoliticalprograms.Duringtheinterviewforaprogramtargeting18—30yearolds,theprimeministeradmittedthathesometimeshadto“wingit”whenmakingpublicappearancesandthathewantedtogooutforadrinkwithoutbeingrecognized.However,themostdramaticrevelationwashisreplytoSarpong’squestionwhetherhestillsendshiswifeflowers.“I’veneversentherflowers.IfIsentherflowers,shewouldgetworried,”Blairsaid.Butheadded,“Iamromantic.Thereareotherwaysofbeingromantic.”Blairneededafewmomentstorecallwhatpostershehadonhisbedroomwallasayoungster,andthenrevealed,“I’lltellyou...actually,whenIwasyoung,IlovedGraceKelly.”Blairadmittedthatheinitiallyfoundit“odd”tobeprimeministerandtoberushedinmotorcadesfromappointmenttoappointment,andworriedthathislifestylelefthim“abitisolated”fromordinarypeople.Headmittedthathewasconstantlyonthephonebetweenpublicappearances,andrarelyhadtimetoprepareforhisnextevent,tellingSarpong,“Iwingitallthetime.”Askedwhathewoulddoifhecouldbeinvisibleforaday,Blairsaidhewould“justwalkdownthestreetandgotothepub...justbeabsolutelynormal.”1．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“shadow”inParagraph2mean?A．followandinterviewB．shadeC．staywithD．keepawayfrom答案A解析根据第二段内容可知,Sarpong是第四频道的主持人,然后根...
