猜测词义练习词义猜测题常用提问方式有：Theword“…”refersto/probablymeans/couldbestbereplacedby_______.Theword“…”ismostlikelytomean______.Whatdoyouthinktheexpression“…”standsfor?Theunderlinedword“…”means______.一、Definition定义法三、Similarity相似法二、Contrast对比法四、Causeandeffect因果法五、Example例举法七、Context上下文六、WordFormation构词法Itwillbeveryhardbutverybrittle—thatis,itwillbreakeasily.一、Definition定义法：一般通过定义、定语从句/词组或同位语从句/词组来确定词义Checktheanswers从后面的解释中，我们可以了解到brittle是“易碎的，脆的”的意思Theherdsman,wholooksaftersheep,earnsabout650yuanayear.定语从句中looksaftersheep就表明了herdsman的词义为“牧羊人”。二、Contrast对比法：利用文中的反义词、表对比关系的词猜测词义。表示对比的词有but、while、however、otherwise等。Mostofusagreed,however,Billdissented.从表示转折的词however可推断出dissented就是disagreedSheisusuallypromptforallherclass,buttodayshearrivedinthemiddleofherfirstclass.AontimeBlateCslowlyDquicklyA根据句意及but可推知,后半句的意思是他今天在“第一节上了一半才来”，因此反向推理，可得出他平时一向“准时”的结论。四、CauseEffect因果法：从原因推测结果，从结果推测原因Onewhoisdestitutehasagreatneedforfoodandclothing.从后面“急需食物和衣服”中可以看出destitute是“穷困的”意思。Thatmuseumissoimmensethatitwillbeimpossibletoseealltheexhibitsinoneday.既然一天之内看不完所有的展品，这个博物馆当然是够“大的”了。五、Example例举法：利用文中的举例猜测词义。常见的举例的提示词有forinstance,forexample,suchas等。Todayyoungcouplesoftenspendlotsoftheirmoneyonappliances,forinstance,washing-machine,refrigeratorsandcolortelevisions.六、WordFormation构词法：英语单词大多是由词根、词头（前缀）、词尾（后缀）所组成。词根是单词最基本的部分，表达单词的基本含义。在词根前或后加上前缀或后缀，可以用来引申或转变原词的意义。只要我们掌握了各种词根、词头、词尾的基本含义，那么就可以很容易地猜测所构成的新词的含义了。中学英语中常见的前缀和后缀有super-(超)mini-（极小的，微小的）micro-（极微小的）re-（再，反复）mis-（误，恶）im-（不）un-（不，非）in-（不，非）non-（不，非）-able（能…的）-less（不，无）--wards(向)Canyouguessthemeaningsofthefollowingwords?supermannonnaturalhomelessrebuildmicrowavemispronouncenonsmokereastwardssuperman(超人)nonnatural(非自然的)homeless(无家可归的)rebuild(重建)microwave(微波)informal(非正式的)mispronounce(发错音)nonsmoker(非烟民)eastwards(向东)Haveyougottherightanswers?I’mgoingtobuyamicrobus.micro+bus微型公共汽车1)HesoundedquitenervousandhehadbeentalkingforaminuteorsobeforeIunderstandanything.EventhenallIcouldmakeoutwasthatsomeonecalledMillyhadhadaverybadaccident.AseeclearlyBunderstandCexpectB从上句“他显得非常紧张，讲了一会我才懂得他讲的内容……”中判断makeout意为understand，故选B。七、Context上下文：利用语境及前后的提示来猜测词义Tomsawanowlinatreelastnight．A．abirdB．ananimalC.astar2）Tomsawanowllastnight．A．abirdB．ananimalC.astarTomsawanowllastnightbutitflewawaywhenhegotnear．A．abirdB．ananimalC.astarAABCAB3）Thechildrenarelookingatanape.A．akindofmonkeyB．akindoftreeC．akindofbirdThechildrenarelookingatanapeatthezoo．A．akindofmonkeyB．akindoftreeC．akindofbirdThechildrenarelookingatalarge,hairy(毛的)apeatthezoo．A．akindofmonkeyB．akindoftreeC．akindofbirdAABCACCanyouguessthecorrectmeaningsofthefollowingwords?----------------------------------------------------1.Therearesomeglaciersmovingdownthemountainvalleys.Aglacierisariverofice.A雪山B树枝C冰河D冰2.Heisaresoluteman.Oncehemadeuphismindtodosomething,hewon’tgiveituphalfway.AweakBfirmCkindDclever3.Mr.BrownisnowworkingatPrincetonUniversityfarawayfromhome.Forthisreasonhehastorentaroomneartheofficewhereheworks.A租用B借出C购买D参观CBA4.Theofficialaskedthemanwhathisoccupationwas.Themantoldhimthatheworkedasanengineer.AworkBstudyCnameDinterest5.Theoldwomanhasastrangehabittokeepover100catsinherhouse.Herneighborallcallheraneccentriclady.A爱猫的B古怪的C闲不住D动物保护主义者6.Inmanycountriestherearetwofinancialextremes,frompenurytogreatwealth.A便士B温饱C非常贫困D虚弱ABC7.Mrs.Smithisloquaciouswhileherhusbandisthesilenttype.A活泼的B好动的C多嘴多舌的D可爱的8.Thosenewcomerswerenotusedtothelifeinthesuburbswhichwassodifferentfromthatinsidethecity.AtownBcapitalCcountrysideDhouse9.Thisboyisnotstupid,onthecontrary,noonecouldbemoreintelligent.A勤奋的B愚蠢的C聪明的D情报CCCPassage1TensofthousandsofbabypenguinsfacestarvationaftertwogianticebergsbrokeofftheAntarcticicesheetandblockedtheirparents’roadtothefeedingareas.AdelineandemperorpenguinsnestingontheRossislandrookeriesarenowforcedtowalklongdistancesovertheicebergstoobtainfoodfortheirchicks,bornduringtheNovember-Decemberbreedingseason..Whatdoestheunderlinedword“obtain”probablymean?AeatBgetCsellDbuyBLet’sdosomeexercisesPassage2Aman’spositionamongtheblack-tentpeopledependsonhisancestors,relatives,andfellowtribesmen.Iftheyarehonored,heisalsohonored.Iftheyaredisgraced,hetooisdisgraced.Thereforeonecarefullyguardsthehonorofhisfamily,hislineage,andhistribe.Theword“disgrace”means_________inthistext.AhonorBendangerCproudDshameDPassage3Therulerhadbeensocruelanddishonestthataftertherevolutionhewasbanished.AfewmembersoftheSenateopposedthisdecision,butthemajorityvotedthattherulershouldleavethecountryforever.Theunderlinedword“banished”mean__________.AkilledbystoningBsentawayCimprisonedDpunishedbywhippingB同学们在解这类题时一定要注意不要脱离语境。有些常用词在特定的上下文中，或专业性文章中，具有特殊的或专门的词义。在解这类题时，必须仔细地研读划线部分的上下文，有时阅读的视线还要扩大一些。如果离开特定的语言环境来理解生词意义，必然选错答案。一、Definition定义法三、Similarity相似法二、Contrast对比法四、CauseandEffect因果法五、Example例举法七、Context上下文六、WordFormation构词法Summary:思考的人是最美丽的。Thankyou!
