考向24閱讀理解之詞義猜測(cè)題

英語(yǔ)閱讀訓(xùn)練和測(cè)試中的生詞障礙往往會(huì)成為學(xué)生理解的“絆腳石”，這些“絆腳石''的出現(xiàn)大致分五類(lèi)：（1）

舊詞新義，考查詞匯表中未出現(xiàn)的詞義；如：NearbyistheIndianapolisracecourse,wherethenation'smostfamouscar

raceisheldeachyearonMay30lh.我們學(xué)過(guò)course的意思是“過(guò)程，課程”等，在此顯然不符句意。根據(jù)上下文

course是汽車(chē)賽舉行的地方，可推斷course在該句是“車(chē)道”或“跑道”的意思。（2）合成詞、轉(zhuǎn)化詞與派生詞，如

shoplifting,heartbroken,puterliterate,decisionthinking,imperfect等；（3）“靈活”的常用詞增多，這些詞必須根

據(jù)具體的上卜.文語(yǔ)境才能正確理解：（4）“新鮮”的外國(guó)人名、地名、專(zhuān)有名稱(chēng)增多，這些詞有些帶有一定的文化

背景（5）超綱生詞。

猜測(cè)詞義是應(yīng)用英語(yǔ)的重要能力，也是高考閱讀理解中必考的題型。它不但需要準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤地理解上下文，而

且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認(rèn)識(shí)較多的課外詞匯。考生應(yīng)學(xué)會(huì)通過(guò)構(gòu)詞、定義、同位、對(duì)比、因果、常識(shí)、同

義、反義及上下文線(xiàn)索等確定詞義。

近年來(lái)，詞義猜測(cè)題有逐漸增加的趨勢(shì)，尤其是猜測(cè)詞組、句義題。因?yàn)椴聹y(cè)詞組、句義題涉及題材背景、

句子結(jié)夠、文章主旨、作者的觀(guān)點(diǎn)態(tài)度等。聯(lián)系主旨、整合上下文信息是解答這類(lèi)題的關(guān)鍵。近幾年閱讀理解的

生詞率略有上升，加大了猜測(cè)力度。命題者著重考查考生利用同義或反義關(guān)系、構(gòu)詞法、語(yǔ)法和語(yǔ)篇文脈等理解

生詞的能力。

【命題趨勢(shì)】

1、要求根據(jù)閱讀材料所提供的信息，結(jié)合中學(xué)生應(yīng)有的常識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)，正確判斷生詞詞組的含義或成熟詞在

特定語(yǔ)境中表達(dá)的具體含義以及一些句子的意思。

2、要求猜測(cè)詞義的詞一般為實(shí)詞及其詞組，通過(guò)構(gòu)詞、定義、對(duì)比、因果、聯(lián)想、上下文等線(xiàn)索確定詞義

的具體內(nèi)容。

3、代詞復(fù)指理解題也是猜測(cè)詞義的常考類(lèi)型。用“邏輯關(guān)系梳理法”、“遞向?qū)ほ櫡ā崩砬迦宋锛笆挛镏g

的邏輯關(guān)系是關(guān)鍵所在。

【設(shè)間形式】

Theunderlinedword”…”inthesecond（third---）paragraphrefersto（means）.

Bysaying"…”inthefirst（second--）paragraph,theauthormeansthat.

Inparagraph,,,,“…”canbereplacedby“.

Themeaningof””inparagraphisrelatedto.

Whichofthefollowinghastheclosestmeaningto,,,（paragraph???）?

Theunderlinedsentenceinthe…paragraphprobablymeansthat.

【應(yīng)試技巧】

詞義猜測(cè)題的解答需要考生根據(jù)詞、詞組、句子所在的語(yǔ)境上下文來(lái)判斷其意義。因此熟練掌握一些猜詞技

巧是做好這類(lèi)題的關(guān)鍵。命題者在出這類(lèi)題時(shí)慣用常規(guī)詞義來(lái)麻痹考生，我們要特別注意熟詞生義，切不可脫離

語(yǔ)境主觀(guān)臆斷。

1.構(gòu)詞法猜詞

閱讀中常常會(huì)遇到一些由熟悉的單詞派生或合成的新詞。掌握構(gòu)詞法對(duì)猜測(cè)詞義很有幫助。如：unforeseeable.

這個(gè)詞，可以根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法把它拆成ui,fore,see,able；其中see是詞根，fore是“先，前，預(yù)''的含義，un是否定，

able是“能...的，可....的”，因此unforeseeable是“未能預(yù)見(jiàn)到的”意思。

【典例示例】

...Bakerconcludesthatpeopledonothavetheabilitytosensewhenthey,rebeingstaredat.Ifpeopledoubttheout。

ofhistwoexperiments,saidBaker,'1suggesttheyrepeattheexperimentsandseefbrthemselves.''...

70.Theunderlinedword"oute"inthelastparagraphmostprobablymeans.

A.valueB.result

C.performanceD.connection

【答案】B

【解析】運(yùn)用"構(gòu)詞法''進(jìn)行猜測(cè)。動(dòng)詞詞組eoui的意義為“露出、出現(xiàn)、顯露出“。再根據(jù)句子的語(yǔ)境，可猜測(cè)

出其意義是：（實(shí)驗(yàn)的）結(jié)果。

2.利用同義近義詞猜詞

在生詞所出現(xiàn)的上下文中，有時(shí)會(huì)出現(xiàn)與之同義或近義的詞語(yǔ)或結(jié)構(gòu)，這時(shí)可從熟悉的詞語(yǔ)中推知生詞的含

義。統(tǒng)稱(chēng)在詞或短語(yǔ)之間有并列連詞and或or,這些詞語(yǔ)或短語(yǔ)在句中作相同的成分，并且and或。「連接的兩

項(xiàng)內(nèi)容在含義上是接近的或遞進(jìn)的，由此確定同等關(guān)系中的某個(gè)生詞所屬的義域，甚至推出它的大致詞義。

【典例示例】

...Fermat'sLastTheorem（定理），「irslputforwardbytheFrenchmathematicianPierredeFermatintheseventeenth

century,thetheoremhadbaffledandbeatenthefinestmathematicalminds,includingaFrenchwomanscientistswho

madeamajoradvanceinworkingouttheproblem,andwhohadtodresslikeamaninordertobeabletostudyatthe

EcolcPolytechnique....

65.Whichofthefollowingbestexplainsthemeaningoftheword“bafTle''asitisusedinthetext?

A.Toencouragepeopletoraisequestions.

B.Tocausedifficultyinunderstanding.

C.Toprovideapersonwithanexplanation.

D.Tolimitpeople'simagination.

【答案】B

【解析】由句中不難看出Fennat的定理使得最具有數(shù)學(xué)頭腦的科學(xué)家絞盡腦汁(beat),并且在句中beaten和

baffled處于同等的并列關(guān)系，根據(jù)這一信息可以推出baffle表示“使困惑、難倒、難以理解”的意思、。

3.利用反義詞猜詞

對(duì)比是描述，說(shuō)明事物的常用方式。在對(duì)比中，對(duì)比的事物是互為相反的，因此根據(jù)反義或?qū)Ρ汝P(guān)系可從一

知推出未知。利用反義詞來(lái)說(shuō)明生詞的意義，如反義詞hotandcold,perfectandimperfect,甚至前、后句為肯定

與否定或是與不是等，在句內(nèi)詞與詞之間，在段內(nèi)句與句之間的關(guān)系上起著互為線(xiàn)索的作用。

【典例示例】

...Achild'sbirthdaypartydoesn'thavetobeahassle;itcanbeabasketoffun,accordingtoBethAnaclerio,an

Evasionmotheroftwo,ages4and18months....

74.Whatdoestheunderlinedword"hassle”probablymean?

A.Apartydesignedbyspecialists.

B.Aplanrequiringcareful(houghl.

C.Asituationcausingdifficultyortrouble.

D.Ademandmadebyguests.

【答案】C

【解析】根據(jù)前句的否定doesn't與后句的肯定canbe這?對(duì)比關(guān)系，可以判斷出，為了慶祝孩子的生日，又不

至于麻煩，可以買(mǎi)一個(gè)生日開(kāi)心包。Hassle的意思應(yīng)該與fun相反，而與difficulty,trouble相近。答案為C。

4.利用上下文語(yǔ)境猜詞

任何一篇文章中的句子在內(nèi)容上都不是絕對(duì)孤立的，都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有關(guān)，利用上下文提

供的情景和線(xiàn)索，進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的綜合分析進(jìn)而推測(cè)詞義，是閱讀過(guò)程中的一大關(guān)鍵，這也是近年來(lái)高考考查的

熱點(diǎn)。

【典例示例】【2019?天津卷，D】

WouldyouBETonthefutureofthisman?Heis53yearsold.Mostofhisadultlifehasbeenalosingstruggleagainst

debtandmisfortune.Awarinjuryhasmadehislefthandstopfunctioning,andhehasoftenbeeninprison.Drivenby

heavenknowswhatmotives,hedeterir.inestowriteabook.

Thebookturnsouttobeonethathasappealedtotheworldformorethan350years.Thatformerprisonerwas

Cervantes,andthebookwasDonQuixote（《堂吉訶德》）.Andthestoryposesaninterestingquestion:whydosome

peoplediscovernewvilalilyandcreativityU）iheendoftheirdays,whileothersgotoseedlongbefore?

樣開(kāi)始購(gòu)買(mǎi)有機(jī)食物，其實(shí)也就是對(duì)這類(lèi)食物產(chǎn)生了越來(lái)越濃厚的興趣。答案為A。

6.根據(jù)語(yǔ)義轉(zhuǎn)折

有時(shí)文章的作者為了增強(qiáng)表達(dá)效果，會(huì)用一些含有表示意思轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞，副詞或短語(yǔ)。though,although,

still,but,yet,instead,insteadof,however,while,onthecontrary,ontheotherhand,unlike,ratherthan.Ibronething,for

another等，我們可以根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折意思猜測(cè)詞義。

【典例示例】

...Howeverobviousthesefactsmayappearatfirstglance,theyareactuallynotsoobviousastheyseemexcept

whenwctakespecialpainslothinkaboutthesubject.

71.InParagraph3,“takespecialpains”probablymeans"

A.tryveryhardB.takeourtime

C.areveryunhappyD.feelespeciallypainful

【答案析】A

【解析】由However從句當(dāng)中的atfirstglance（乍一眼看上去），與下文中的lakespecialpains進(jìn)行對(duì)比，既然

不是一眼就看出那么簡(jiǎn)單，那么自然要費(fèi)力去想了。由此可以推斷出A項(xiàng)為最佳選項(xiàng)。

7.利用經(jīng)驗(yàn)和常識(shí)猜詞

【典例示例】

…"IwasonthewaytoapersonalinjuryaccidentinWestNashville.AsIgotontoHighway40、bluelightsand

sirens（警笛）going,IfellinbehindagoldPontiacFirebirdthatsuddenlyseemedtotakeoffquicklydownthehighway.

Thedriversomehowpanickedatthesightofme.Hewasgoingmorethanahundredmilesanhourandbeganpassing

carsontheshoulder.''

63.Themeaningof“Danicked”inParagraph2isrelatedto.

A.shameB.haleC.angerD.fear

【答案】D

【解析】根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容描述，可以知道panicked意思是“驚慌”，相當(dāng)于fear。

【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了電影《泰坦尼克號(hào)》最早上映20多年后，出現(xiàn)了許多“門(mén)理論”，認(rèn)為

杰克可以活下來(lái)，而科學(xué)已經(jīng)證明電影的結(jié)局是合理的。

L推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Asaclassiclovemovieofthetwentiethcentury,Titanicmakesonescenea

longlastingcinematicshot:Jackletgoofhishandandsankintheicyseawater,leavingthechanceoflivingtohislover

Rose,whofinallysurvivedonawoodendoordebris（殘骸）.（《泰坦尼克號(hào)》是一部20世紀(jì)的經(jīng)典愛(ài)情電影，其中的

一個(gè)場(chǎng)景是一個(gè)持久的電影鏡頭：杰克松開(kāi)手，沉入冰冷的海水中，給他的愛(ài)人羅斯留下了生存的機(jī)會(huì)，羅斯最

終在木門(mén)殘骸上幸存下來(lái)。廠(chǎng)及下文對(duì)此場(chǎng)景的討論可推斷，本段的目的是引出話(huà)題。故選A。

2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段“InaTVprogram,hostsJamieandAdamevendidanexperimentusinganexact

replica（復(fù)制品）ofthewoodenpiecefromthemovie,andthetwoprovedthatiftheyhadtiedRose'slifejackettothe

決問(wèn)題。）“可知，杰米和亞當(dāng)?shù)慕Y(jié)論被推翻了。所以debunked為“揭穿真相，暴露，推翻”之意。oppose“反對(duì)”

是近義詞，故選B。

4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“Unfortunately,thesizeofthedebriscoupledwiththeweightofRoseontop

【答案】9.C10.D11.C12.A

【解析】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者在被申請(qǐng)的所有大學(xué)拒絕后，選擇就讀社區(qū)大學(xué)。在那兒作者接觸

到來(lái)自各行各業(yè)的人及老師后，改變了他之前的想法，從而深刻的體會(huì)到：一個(gè)人若想實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想，其實(shí)不只有一

種方法。

9.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的"Ihadanarrowvision,applyingonlytosomekeyschools.SowhenIgotrefused,I

學(xué)校。所以當(dāng)我被拒絕時(shí)，我陷入了恐慌。我以為成功只有一條路，但我沒(méi)有走）”可知，他只考慮了一些重點(diǎn)學(xué)

校，就造成了作者的''裔中生噩夢(mèng)故選C。

10.詞句猜猜題。根據(jù)劃線(xiàn)部分所在句"Whileallmyfriendswerepickingouitwincxtralongsheets,Iwasleft

為他認(rèn)為社區(qū)大學(xué)的教師能力很差。故選C。

12.推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Iusedtohavethisideathat1hadtorushinordertoachieveacertainlevelof

13.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“Becauseour20sareoftenwhenwehaveourfirstjobsandfirst

我們往往在20多歲的時(shí)候開(kāi)始第一份工作，第一段感情，第一次行動(dòng)，第一次經(jīng)歷現(xiàn)實(shí)世界，這些大事就成為

我們?nèi)松适碌闹匾糠郑?，可知，他們第一次體驗(yàn)的重大事件決定了他們的未來(lái)，故答案為C。

14.詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文"Bytheendof2020,manyoftheworld5s21yearoldshadlostjobs;otherswonderedif

they'deverfindone.IntheU.S,youthunemploymentdoubledbetweenJuly2019andJuly2020.（到2020年底，世界

上許多21歲的年輕人都失去了工作，其他人則想知道他們是否能找到一個(gè)工作。在美國(guó)，青年失業(yè)率在2019

年7月至2020年7月期間翻了一番門(mén)可知本段是在討論失業(yè)問(wèn)題，因此推斷劃線(xiàn)句“thepandemic

openedfaultlines”說(shuō)明新冠疫情加重了這一問(wèn)題，因此劃線(xiàn)部分指的就是“就業(yè)問(wèn)題"，故答案為

15.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段"Wefoundagenerationsuspended（懸停）betweentheworldthey'dgrownupinand

uncertainarrivaloftheirfuture.（我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，這一代人徘徊在他們成長(zhǎng)的世界與不確定的未來(lái)之間）“，可知作者認(rèn)為

現(xiàn)在20多歲的人前途充滿(mǎn)著很多不確定，因此推斷作者對(duì)他們表示擔(dān)憂(yōu)和關(guān)心，故答案為D。

16.主旨大意題。誦讀全￡,特別是最后一段“Wefoundagenerationsuspended（懸停）betweentheworldthey'd

grownupinanduncertainarrivaloftheirfuture.（我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，這一代人徘徊在他們成長(zhǎng)的世界與不確定的未來(lái)之間）”

決心努力積極應(yīng)對(duì)，A項(xiàng)“兒童成長(zhǎng)的世界定義了一代人”;B項(xiàng)“年輕的一代被擱置，但準(zhǔn)備開(kāi)始”;C項(xiàng)“一場(chǎng)新

冠疫情帶來(lái)了各種全球性危機(jī)”;D項(xiàng)“世界事件改變了年輕人的生活”。A、C沒(méi)有提到年輕人，而D太過(guò)空泛。

故答案為B。
