在雅思阅读考试中,遇到不认识的词是很正常的,当然我们就好猜词啦。下面南京朗阁小编给大家介绍雅思阅读三种猜词方法,一起了解吧。
雅思阅读三种猜词方法1、根据定义猜测词义 如果生词是句子或段落所解释的定义,理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。 例如: anthropology is the scientific study of man。 由定义可知,anthropology就是“研究人类的科学”。 In slang the term "jam" constitutes a state of being in which a personfinds himself or herself in a difficult situation。 同样,从上下文的定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是“困境”。定义句的谓语动词多为:be, mean, deal with, beconsidered, to be, refer to, be called, be known as, define, represent, signify,constitute等。 雅思阅读三种猜词方法2、根据复述猜测词义 虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细,但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。复述部分可以适当词、短语或是从句。 同位语 Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you areto speak and read intelligently。 此例逗号中短语意为“对词意义进行研究的学科”。该短语与前面生词semanties式同位关系,因此我们不难猜出semanties指“语义学”。 在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号,冒号,分号,引号,和括号等。 Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, is one of the mostcommon characteristics of electronic circuits。 由同位语我们很快猜出生词capacitance词义---电容量。 需要注意的是:同位语前还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, orother, say i. e. 等副词或短语出现。 定语从句 Krabacber suffers from SAD, which is short for seasonal affectivedisorder, a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings。 根据生词SAD后面定语从句which is short for seasonal affective disorder和同位语a syndromecharacterized by severe seasonal mood swings, 我们可以推断出 SAD含义,即“季节性情绪紊乱症”。 雅思阅读三种猜词方法3、根据举例猜测词义 恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索,例如: The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientificdiscoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in thepast。 句中“战争”和“重大科学发现”是生词的实例,通过它们我们可以猜出epochal的大致词义“重要的”,这与其确切含义“划时代的”十分接近。 (责任编辑:admin) |
