十、同义词的替代关系
例句:Although he often had the opportunity, Mr. Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank, and he didn’t want to jeopardize his future.
为避免重复使用endanger一词, 用同义词jeopardize来替代它, 我们推知jeopardize词义为“使陷入危险,危及,危害”。
十一、利用主系表结构来猜词
主系表结构的句子有两种功能:一是说明主语的形状和特征;二是主语和表语是同位关系。
例一:To malign is to slander an innocent person.
表语意为“诽谤无辜的人”, 那样主语就是“中伤,诽谤”的意思。
例二:Insomnia is the inability of falling asleep or sleeping restlessly.
表语意为“睡不着”,主语Insomnia无疑就是“失眠”了。
十二、生活常识
根据日常生活中的常识和相关的背景知识,大胆想象,合理发挥,推测出生词的含义。
例一:Warm-blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest during the day, often staying in cool underground burrows.
根据常识我们知道鼠类一般藏在洞里,因此生词burrows的意思为“地洞,洞穴”。
例二:The snake slithered through the grass.
根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识,我们可以推测出slithered的词义为“爬行”。
十三、构词法
英语词汇的构词法主要有三种:派生,合成,转化构词。
我们主要利用派生构词来推断生词的含义。
词根是单词最基本的部分,表达单词的基本含义。在词根的前面或后面加上词缀,可以用来引申或转变原词的意义。一般来说,前缀改变词根的意思;后缀改变词性。
常见的前缀有:
super- 超……
mini- 小型的……
re- 再,又……
post- 后
pre- 前
fore- 前
under- 下
后缀有:
-ment 名词的后缀
-less 不,无
-proof 防……的
例句:Remember that people on line may not be who they seem. Because you can’t see or even hear the person, it would be easy for someone to misrepresent himself/herself. Thus someone says “She is a 12-year-old girl ”could really be an old man.
根据语境和misrepresent的构词方式, 前缀mis-的意思是“误,错-的”,词根represent的意思是“表达,展示”之意, 合在一起我们知道misrepresent的词义为“误述,歪曲”。
十四、文中代词指代的推测
高考题年年考查对文中代词实际指代的对象。一般来说它实际指代的对象在含有代词的句子前半部分或前一句话。我们把它叫做“前指”。
例一:Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped at noon as the press rported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal.”We have more important things to do,” he said.
根据我们上面讲到的,they应该指上一句中的Demands for pigeon-delivered money。
例二:The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”, or false clues, to mislead them.
根据语境them.指代上文的readers。
虽然掌握一些猜词技巧能帮助我们猜测词义,但是我们不能只依靠这些。最重要的还是掌握全篇文。
