本類考題解答錦囊

英語的一個(gè)顯著特點(diǎn)是它龐大的詞匯數(shù)量。即使一個(gè)擁有上萬單詞量的人在閱讀英語讀

物中也難免會(huì)遇到生詞。如果每遇到生詞，就查閱詞典，不但會(huì)降低閱讀速度，而且往往使

閱讀變得索然無味。據(jù)調(diào)查，影響人們閱讀理解的，首先是詞匯。因此學(xué)習(xí)并掌握一些猜測(cè)

生詞詞義的方法，對(duì)排除閱讀時(shí)某些生詞的干擾，降低生詞率是十分必要的。

任何一個(gè)買詞，只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一個(gè)確定的詞義。NMET閱讀理解中猜

測(cè)詞義的考查內(nèi)容既可以是文中的生詞，也可以是熟詞新義、短語或句子。但都要求考生根

據(jù)上下文線索(即具體語境)作出推斷。此類題的提問形式一般有：

1.Whichofthefollowingisnearest/closestinmeaningtoz，...〃?

2.Theunderlinedword,means.

3.Theunderlinedphrase,means.

4.Theunderlinedsentence,means_.

利用上下文的提示猜測(cè)詞義的方法有如下幾種：

1.根據(jù)定義或解釋猜測(cè)詞義

【例題】

(1)Acalendarisalistofthedays,weeks,monthsofaparticularyear.

根據(jù)定義，calendar的意思是日歷.。

(2)Abiographyisthestoryofaperson，slifewrittenbysomeoneelse根據(jù)定義,

biography的意思是凡別人寫的生平叫做傳記。

(3)SomewritersarenolongerwritingaboutthemodernvaluesoftheUSA--money,

Successorexpensivethingstobuy.

2.破折號(hào)后而的內(nèi)容是對(duì)value一詞的具體解釋。

【例題】

(l)Herepliedquickly.Butafterheconsideredtheproblemmorecarefully,he

regrettedhavingmadesuchahastydecision.根據(jù)恥下文學(xué)語境意義，可悟出quickly

與hasty同義。

(2)Althoughpeopleinmanycountriesconsiderrawmeatadelicacy(美味)，weChinese

peopleseldomeatanymeatthatisuncooked.根據(jù)上下文語境意義得知rawmeat即是

meatthatisuncooked.Raw與uncooked表示相同意思生的，未煮過的。

(3)―1thinkwearebeingwatched.

-Really?Whatmakesyouthinkweareundersurveillance?根據(jù)語境，可判斷出being

watched-15undersurveillance是同義關(guān)系。

(4)Duringtheconcert,thechildrenwerequietbutafterwards,theybecame

boiaterous.

but表示轉(zhuǎn)折意思，因此bomterous是quiet的反義詞，意思為吵吵嚷嚷的。

(5)Unlikehergregarioussister,Janeisashyperson,whodoesnotliketogoto

parties,ortomakenewfriends.

unlike是關(guān)鍵詞，它表示Jane與她的姐姐完全不同。根據(jù)后面對(duì)Jane的描述“…ashyper

son,...notliketogopartiesortomakenewfro6nds',可得知1gregarious的意

思是好交際的。

3.根據(jù)舉例

【例題】

(l)Scientistsarestudyinghowbirdssuchternsmigrate.

根據(jù)舉例法(suchas),得知terns是一種鳥。

(2)Todayyoungcoupleswhoarejuststartingtheirhouseholdsoftenspendlotsof

theirmoneyonappliances?forexample,washing-machines,fridgesandcolorTVs.

根據(jù)舉例法(forexample),得知appliances是指washing-machines,fridgesandcolor

TVs這類家用電器。

(3)Severalothergases,suchasargon,comprisetheremainingonepercentofthe

volumeofdryair.

SUChas提示argon為某種氣體。

4.根據(jù)因果關(guān)系。

【例題】

(l)Shedidnothearwhatyousaidbecauseshewascompletelyengrossedinherreading,

because之前的分句表示結(jié)果，之后的分句表示原因，可推理，她沒有聽見的原因是她

完全被閱讀吸引住了或她正全神貫注地看書。因此engrossed的意思是被吸引的，全神貫注

的。

(2)Thenoisewassofaintthatitwasimpossibletobesurewhatitwasorevenwhere

itcamefronL

So...that...,結(jié)構(gòu)引導(dǎo)的句子也表示因果關(guān)系。因此可判斷出faint在此句中

的意思是微弱的。聲音太弱，以致不能確認(rèn)是什么聲音或是從哪里發(fā)出的。

（3）ThiSkindofflowerthrivesinthisareabecausetheweatheriswarm,theSoil

isexcellent,andthereiSalotofrain。

because一詞決定了flower與warmweather,excellentsOil,alOtOfrain之間是因

果關(guān)系。

因此thdves的意思是茂盛成長(zhǎng)。

5.根據(jù)句意或上下文語境

例1Ifhethinkshecaninvitemeout,heisallwet.Idon'tliketobewith

thethem.

A.drunkB.sweatingC.happyD.mistaken

【解析】根據(jù)第二句我不喜歡跟他在一起，可推斷出，如果他認(rèn)為他能約我出去，那他

就錯(cuò)了。這兩句話實(shí)際上暗含因果關(guān)系。

【答案】D

例2Attheageof77,Johnwasstillplayingaskillfulgameoftennis,ran

fourmileseveryddayandseldommissedhisdailyswim.Foramanofhisagehewas

extremelyrobust.

Accordingtotheshortpassage,theword“robust”,probablymeans________.

AostrangeB.weakC.strongninteresting

【答案】C根據(jù)語境的意思，一個(gè)77歲的人還能如此運(yùn)動(dòng)，可以說是身體不錯(cuò)，因

此可以推斷robust是strong強(qiáng)壯的意思。

由此可見猜測(cè)詞義離不開上下文、離不開具體語境。

命題目的與解題技巧：本文有關(guān)題考查學(xué)生猜測(cè)詞義能力。做這類題的關(guān)鍵是學(xué)生根據(jù)上

下文線索（即具體語境）作出推斷。

【解析】本文是一篇關(guān)于是否該穿校服的爭(zhēng)論的議論文。有人認(rèn)為校服會(huì)扼殺孩子的

創(chuàng)造性，但很顯然作者是同意穿校服的，認(rèn)為穿校服可以在學(xué)生中間培養(yǎng)公平意識(shí)。

【答案】1.D猜測(cè)詞義。從下文看，作者例數(shù)校服的諸多好處，顯然“benifits〃在

此有“優(yōu)點(diǎn),好處”之義。其他三詞tasks（任務(wù)）,messages（信息），differences（不同），

意思相差甚遠(yuǎn)。

2.B細(xì)節(jié)推斷。從第三段第一句話"AsinOtherplaces,uniformsremindthewearersof

theirpurposeandduties〃可推知，制服（unifontt）幫助穿衣者時(shí)刻記住其職責(zé)。

3.B細(xì)節(jié)題。從最后一段第一句：uSomeparents...,sayin8thatschooluniforms

willaffecttheirchildren'screatiVity”可直接選出答案。

4.D主旨推斷題?？v覽全文，作者的觀點(diǎn)是認(rèn)為學(xué)生穿校服可以培養(yǎng)公平意識(shí)，對(duì)于創(chuàng)造

性可以在其他時(shí)間和事件中培養(yǎng)。

Passage1（典型例題B）

Thesedaysagreenbuildingmeansmorethanjustthecolorofthepaint.Green

buildingcanalsorefertoenvironmentallyfriendlyhouses,factories,andoffices.

Greenbuildingmeans"reducingtheimpact（影響）ofthebuildingontheland”

underlinedwords"thebuilding"mostprobablyreferto.

A.anordinarybuilding

B.an.energy-savingbuilding

C.agreen-coloredbuilding

D.abuildinginWashington,D.C.

答案：A指導(dǎo)：文章第一段第二句首先介紹了當(dāng)今的Greenbuilding的概念是環(huán)保型的

13.whichhasalreadybeenusedforbuilding

C.wherepeopleofhighincomelive

D.wheretravelingaroundbycarismostconvenient

A.DettlingdesignedthefirstgreenbuildingintheU.S.

B.Energyshortagecallsforbuildingsofnewdesign.

C.Greenbuildingshelpsaveenvironment.

D.TheSolaireservesasamodelofhighbuildings.
