　　阅读理解

　　专题训练（一）

　　阅读中的猜词技巧（2）

　　

　　对比法

　　

　　方法点拨：

　　有的文章作者为了增强表达效果，会用一对反义词揭示事物的不同点，形成鲜明的对比，这时只要把握其中的一词，就不难推出另一词的含义;有的根据上下句之间表示转折或对比关系的连接词，就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义来确定另一句的含义。这种句子多半有unlike, although, but, yet, while, on the contrary, on the other hand, instead of, rather than等信息词。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比的意义。如：

　　(1)Is he

　　intelligent

　　or stupid?

　　(2)Unlike his brother, who is truly a handsome person, Hogertty is quite

　　homely

　　.

　　1.解析： 根据stupid可推断出intelligent的意思为“聪明的”。

　　答案:

　　聪明的

　　2.解析： 此句中的unlike一词暗示了Hogertty和他的兄弟的长相不同，他的兄弟是个handsome(英俊的)人，所以Hogertty一定是一个homely(不英俊)的人。

　　答案： 不英俊的

　　◆活学活用

　　（一）利用上述猜测词义方法，猜出下列各句划线部分的意思。

　　1.Unlike the United States where many different nationalities make up the population, Japan，s population is quite

　　homogeneous

　　man I know. His brother, in contrast, is quite humble and modest.

　　4.A good supervisor can recognize instantly the

　　adept

　　workers from the unskilled ones.

　　5.Mother was tall，fat and middle-aged. The principal of the school was an older woman，almost as

　　plump as mother，and much shorter.

　　A. healthy

　　B. thin

　　C. slim

　　D. fat

　　1.解析：与many different nationalities相反，故为“单一民族的”。

　　答案：

　　单一民族的

　　2.解析： 由but可知genius是与fool（蠢才）相对的，由此推测其意为“有才能的人”、“天才”。

　　答案：

　　有才能的人,天才

　　3.解析： in contrast 提醒我们supercilious与 humble and modest是对比关系，由此可以猜出其意义。

　　答案：

　　目空一切,傲慢的

　　4.解析： 通读全句不难看出，说话者是把熟练工人与非熟练工人进行对比，由此可知adept的词义是“熟练的”。

　　How to Be a Winner

　　Sir Steven Redgrave 

　　Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals 

　　“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病).Believing my career(职业生涯)was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn，t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn，t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.” 

　　Karen Pickering

　　Swimming World Champion 

　　“I swim 4 hours a day,6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success...you can，t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you，ll be a step closer to achieving them.” 

　　Kirsten Best 

　　Poet&Writer 

　　“When

　　things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can，t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions , such as

　　family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’,‘peace’ or ‘focus’,either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confiednce. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological(心理的)tool.” 
