3.利用文中的定义、例子或上下文猜测词义许多生词可以在文中找到相关的解释或定义，常见的一些标志性词有thatis,mean,like等。也可以利用标点符号，如破折号，或者利用同位语理解词义。有时文中出现一些结论性的词汇，然后通过举例的方式对所列词汇进行具体的例证说明。做题时，考生可以通过作者所列举的具体词汇分析其共同点，抓住其共性，推测出所给词汇的意义；有时候考生需要结合上下文的语境获取答案。4.经验、常识法在阅读的过程中,如遇到生词,考生有时还可以根据自身的直接或间接的经验,或运用自己已有的常识将其推测出来。比如了解一些英美国家的天文地理、风俗习惯、宗教信仰、社会制度等,可以帮助考生很好地理解文章。下面列举几个例子，让我们看看高考真题中是如何猜测词义的例IgrewupinahousewheretheTVwasseldomturnedonandwithonewallinmybedroomentirelylinedwithbookshelves,mostofmychildhoodwasspentonbooksIcouldgetholdof.Infact,Igrewupthinkingofreadingasnaturalasbreathingandbooksunbelievablypowerfulinshapingperspectives(观点)bycreatingworldswecouldstepinto,takepartinandlivein.Withthisunshakablebelief,I,atfourteen,decidedtobecomeawriter.Heretoo,readingbecameuseful.Everywriterstartsoffknowingthathehassomethingtosay,butbeingunabletofindtherightwaystosayit.Hehastofindhisownvoicebyreadingwidelyanddiscoveringwhichpartsofthewritersheagreesordisagreeswith,oragreeswithsostronglythatitreshapeshisownworld.Hecannotwritewithoutlovingtoread,becauseonlythroughreadingotherpeople’swritingcanonediscoverwhatworks,whatdoesn’tand,intheend,togetherwithlotsofpractice,whatvoicehehas....42.Theunderlinedword"voice"inthesecondparagraphmostprobablymeans"".A.anideaB.asoundqualityC.awayofwritingD.aworldtowriteabout解析C。词义猜测题。根据文中的"Everywriterstartsoffknowingthathehassomethingtosay,butbeingunabletofindtherightwaystosayit.Hehastofindhisownvoicebyreadingwidely..."可以推断出voice在语法功能和语义上与therightways相似，所以该词的意思是"写作方式"。例IhadalwaystraveledtoMalaysiabyplaneorcar,sothiswasthefirsttimeIwasonatrain.Ididnotparticularlyrelishthelongtrainjourneyandhadbroughtalongadozenmagazinestoreadandreread.Ilookedaboutthetrain.Therewasnotonefamiliarface.IsighedandsatdowntoreadmyEconomics....Fromthenonmyjourneybecameinteresting.IthrewmymagazinesintothewastebasketanddecidedtojoininMalaysianlife.Theneverythingcamealive.Themountainsseemedtospeaktome.Eventhetreesweresmiling.IstaredateverythingasifIwaslookingatitforthefirsttime....Ilookedforwardtothereturnjourney.68.Whichofthefollowingwordscanbesttaketheplaceoftheword"relish"inthesecondparagraph?A.chooseB.enjoyC.prepareforD.carryon解析B。词义猜测题。根据语境"IhadalwaystraveledtoMalaysiabyplaneorcar,sothiswasthefirsttimeIwasonatrain.Ididnot..."以及下文中的"Fromthenonmyjourneybecameinteresting."可推测"relish"意为"喜欢"，与enjoy同义。故答案为B。例Ihateddinnerparties.ButIdecidedtogivethemanothershotbecauseI’minLondon.AndmyfriendMalleryinvitedme.AndbecausedinnerpartiesinLondonareverydifferentfromthosebackinNewYork.There,"I’mhavingadinnerparty"means:"I’mbookingatablefor12atarestaurantyoucan’taffordandwe’llbesharingthechequeevenly,nomatterwhatyoueat."Worse,inManhattanthereisalwayssomeonewholeavesbeforethebillarrives.They’llthrowdowncash,halfofwhattheyowe,andthenpeoplelikeme,whodon’tdrink,enduppayingevenmore.ButifItrytousethesametrick,thehostesswillshout:"Whereareyougoing?"Andit’snotlikeIcansayIhavesomewheretogo:everyoneknowsIhavenowheretogo....60.Whatdoestheword"shot"inParagraph1probablymean?A.Choice.B.Try.C.Style.D.Goal.解析B。词义猜测题。根据文章首段的前四句话可知，"我"原来不喜欢派对，但是"我"决定试试,因为"我"现在是在伦敦。结合语境可知，此处shot与try同义，表示"尝试"
