1、通用版高考英语二轮复习第一板块阅读理解之题型篇专题一第四讲词义猜测题上下文中求答案讲义05082128doc第四讲词义猜测题上下文中求答案 考查内容设问方式根据上下文猜测词义是阅读能力的一部分，也是高考阅读理解测试中重要的一项。要做好这类题目，考生要记住：在完整的语篇中，单词和词组的意义总是受特定的语境、上下文限制的，因此考生可以根据上下文，并利用所掌握的语法、词汇和构词法等知识确定它们的意义。词义猜测可以是对一个单词的意义的推断，也可以是对一个短语或句子的意义的推断；既可以考查生词的意义，也可以考查熟词的新义，还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。在阅读理解题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留

2、在字面上，而要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或短语的含义。By saying that “.” in the first (second .) paragraph, the author means that _.In Paragraph ., “.” can be replaced by “_”The meaning of “.” in Paragraph . is related to _.Which of the following has the closest meaning to . (Paragraph .)？As is used in

3、 Line ., the word “.” refers to _.The underlined sentence in the . paragraph probably means that _.词义猜测题7大猜词技巧要做好词义猜测题，考生除了必须熟练掌握考试大纲规定的词汇外，在平时的训练中还要注意积累生词和短语，掌握构词法的基本知识，对于各种前、后缀的变化形式了然于心，还要学会根据上下文语境进行合理推测，掌握一定的解题技巧。根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释。标点符号，如逗号后的解释(名词同位语)、破折号后的解释、括号内的解释等

4、。这都是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如：Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.句子给予了annealing一个明确的定义，即“退火”。It will be very hard but also very brittle that is, it will break easily.从that is(也就是说)后的解释中我们可以了解到，brittle是“脆的”意思。The herdsman,_who looks after sheep, earns

5、 about 650 yuan a year.定语从句中looks after sheep就表明了herdsman的词义为“牧人”。The weather in this area is treacherous;_its sudden changes often endanger the lives of sailors.分号后的句子在解释什么样的天气是treacherous, sudden change与treacherous在语义上相对应，因此含义是“突变的”。Some good readers find it helpful to use their sense to visualize

6、 or picture what they read.visualize的意思由破折号后的picture(想象)给出了说明，因此含义为“想象”。When President Torrijos of Panama met Carter, he tried to give him a friendly abrazo (hug)abrazo对大多数人来说都很陌生，但由括号内的hug(拥抱)，我们不难推测abrazo也是“拥抱”的意思。例(2018全国卷阅读C节选)Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become

7、 farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused m

8、any languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.29Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?AComplex. BAdvanced.CPowerful. DModern.分析根据画线词所在句子可知，人类社会发展的很多因素导致许多语言消失，而逐渐被英语、西班牙语、汉语等语言取代，画线词前后的解释暗示了这些语

9、言逐渐占主导地位，故选C项powerful (强大的，有影响力的)。根据同位关系进行猜测阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，因此可利用同位关系对前面的词义或句意进行猜测。例如：They traveled a long way, at last got to a castle,_a large building in old times.同位语部分“a large building in old times”给出了castle的确切词义，即古时候的“城堡”。We are on the night_shift from midnight to 8 am. this week

10、.两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明night shift是“夜班”的意思。The “Chunnel”， a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.此句中“a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France”是Chunnel的同位语。因此，Chunnel指的就是英法之间的海底隧道。例(2016全国卷阅读C节选)I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, Ive done 89 trips of

11、 those, 51 have been abroad. I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box because Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last. In all, from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor (捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient, weve got 72 hours at most. So I

12、am always conscious of time.29Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?Aprovider Bdelivery manCcollector Dmedical doctor分析“a volunteer stem cell courier”是“Peter Hodes”的同位语；根据文中“I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box”可知，Peter Hodes的任务就是将捐献者捐献

13、的干细胞运送给需要的病人，即作者是干细胞递送员。故选择B项。根据构词法(前缀、后缀、派生等)进行猜测在英语中，有很多词可以通过增加前缀和后缀的方式，构成新词。乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但在掌握了一定的构词知识之后，就不难猜出它的词义。例如：“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10，” Anaclerio said, “and theyre very interactive and creative in that they built a sense of drama based on a subject.”文中interactive是由前缀in

14、ter(相互的)和active(活动的，活跃的)构成的，同时根据上下文的意思可以判断，该词的含义应是“互动的”。Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years. But the next hundred?possibility是possible的同根名词，据此可以判断possibility的意思是“可能性”。例(2016全国卷阅读D节选)A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness,_or worry.分析根据构词法知识我们可知，un为

15、否定前缀，ness为名词后缀，easy(舒适)为词根。因此，我们可猜测uneasiness为“不安；担忧”之意。根据因果关系进行猜测在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。例如：The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken. Sometimes the weakness was permanent. So the player could never play the sport again.从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”可以推测permanent的意思为“永远的，永久的”。Mary didnt notice me

16、when I came into the classroom, because she was completely engrossed in her reading.从前面的结果“当我走进教室时，玛丽没有注意到我”可以推测engrossed的意思为“全神贯注的”。Our vision was obscured by the trees, so we couldnt see the lake from our window.由后面的结果couldnt see(看不见)可知，我们的视线被树遮挡住(obscured)了。例(2018全国卷阅读B节选)If you have a_juicer,_yo

17、u can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “softserve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a childrens party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.

18、26What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?AA dessert. BA drink.CA container. DA machine.分析该段第一句含有一个if引导的条件状语从句，若满足该条件，则产生的结果是第一句的后半句和第二句， “you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a softserve creamy dessert, to be eaten right away.” 即“将冰冻香蕉和其他莓类、水果片放进去，出来的是奶

19、油状甜品”。由此因果关系可推知juicer指的是榨汁机。故选择D项。根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测文章中的代词it, that, he, him或them可以指代上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指代一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找；有时也需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代词所指代的事物。例如：Like Schmid, the editors of several selfpublished art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them,_called simply Found, was

20、 born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper (雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else：“Whys your car HERE at HER place？”them指的是前面出现的selfpublished art magazines。However, the question that “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growin

21、g number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.it指的是月球人(moon people)所问的问题(the question)。例(2017全国卷阅读C节选)2Despite the celebrations, though, in the US.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.3Its Jason Morans job to help

22、 change that.As the Kennedy Centers artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.29What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?AJazz becoming more accessible.BThe production of jazz growin

23、g faster.CJazz being less popular with the young.DThe jazz audience becoming larger.分析根据语境可知，画线词that指代第二段“Despite the celebrations, though, in the US. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.”的内容，即爵士乐听众的数量减少并且趋于老龄化，不受年轻人喜欢的现状

24、。故选C。根据同义或近义关系进行猜测在同一句、同一段或同一篇文章中，作者为了避免语言的单调、重复，有时会使用意思相同或相近的词。因此，考生只要读懂上下文，知道其中一个词的意思，就能猜出另外一个词的意思。例(2018全国卷阅读D节选)Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more_is_more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help m

25、y own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.32What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?AThe more, the better.BEnough is enough.CMore money, more worries.DEarn more and spend more.分析根据该段第一句“Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects.”可知，作者认

26、为成年人都理解物质过剩的那种感觉，后面又用反问句提出了问题：但是，说到孩子们和他们的物品，我们为什么通常又认定more is more呢？由此推知，这里的 more is more与前面的 flooded with为近义呼应，指“越多越好”。故选A。根据转折或对比关系进行猜测根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等可以推断上下文之间的逻辑关系，从而可以依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。例如：A childs birthday party doesnt have to be a hassle;_it can be a

27、 basket of fun.从分号前后两句的意思可以看出，hassle和a basket of fun是相反的意义，所以不难判断hassle的意思是“困难，麻烦”。She is usually prompt for all her class, but today she arrived in the middle of her first class.but一词表示转折，因此but前后的意思正好相反。根据后半句的意思“她今天第一节课上了一半才来”，可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。The players in the World Cup are professionals, while th

28、ose who play in the Olympics must be amateurs.由于转折词“while”引导的两个分句前后意义相反，我们可推测出amateurs是professionals(专业人士)的反义词，意思为“业余人士，业余选手”。例(2017全国卷阅读C节选)Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human develop

29、ment. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.29What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean?ATested. BSeparated.CForced out. DTracked down.分析画线词的前句说明在黄石

30、公园和美洲大部分地区曾有许多的灰狼，连词but转折了句子意义，后来由于人类的发展，灰狼数量逐渐减少，几乎消失，由此可推断出画线词的意思为“被迫离开”，故选择C项。课堂应用体验 AKrubera Cave in the western Caucasus Mountains is the deepest known cave in the world. An international team prepared to descend into Krubera. The team members hoped to be the first cavers to reach a depth of 2,

31、000 meters, brought five tons of equipment and other necessities with them, and established camps at key locations along the route.
