雅思阅读中遇到生词,对理解无大碍者可一跃而过。只有难以推测的生词才借助词典。但过多依赖词典会打断阅读思路,影响速度及理解,这就需要学生学会猜词。可这不是说平时阅读一涉及到生词便去猜测,如有条件使用词典,同学们还是应该将不会的生词一一查明,并加以记忆。只有这样才能扩充我们的词汇量,提高阅读理解能力。
猜词可有多种方法,下面介绍几种常用且准确性高的方法。
一、利用上下文线索猜测词义。
1.根据同义、反义关系猜词。
Todays teenagers seem to be more liberal in their ideas than their _______ grandparents.
A. freethinking B. traditional
C. old D. happy
traditional与liberal意思相反,故选B。
2.根据句意或段落文章的上、下文猜测词义。
Klebold and Harris felt _______ and wanted to revenge against those who disliked playing
together with them or laughed at them.
A. discouraged B. ashamed
C. tired D. separated
根据下文的disliked playing together with them判断此处应为感到孤立,故选D。
二、利用构词法猜测词义。
此法包括利用前、后缀及合成词猜测词义。
1.用前、后缀猜测词义。
英语中的前缀、后缀构词颇多,且特定的缀往往表示特定的含义,把握住这一点,可起到以不变应万变的效果。
1)He had been overworking and fell ill at last.
overwork是由前缀over-加动词构成,over有超过,过于之意,overwork意思是工作过多,劳累过度。再如,overburden负担过重,overcharge要价过高,overdo做得过分。
英语中常用的前缀还有:
mis-错,误:misfortune不幸;mislead误导;mismanage处理不当
mid-中央:midnight半夜;midway半路
under-低于:underdone半生不熟的;underestimate低估
anti-反对:antibody抗体;anticyclone反气旋;antifreeze防冻剂
下面划线单词为常见后缀派生词:
1)You must stop dreaming and face reality.
2)The country is trying to popularize education.
2.利用合成词猜测词义。
Family members take turns choosing a special activity for the evening, and everyone partakes in for fun.
根据短语构成及上下文意思看,此处partakes in相当于takes part in。
再如break out-outbreak,set out-outset,come in-income
以上介绍了几种猜测词义的方法,相信对同学们积累词汇、理解文章意思会有所帮助。英语学习应日积月累,并时刻做有心人,发现规律,寻找技巧,提高英语水平。
