34、d lay there, semiconscious, for a few minutes. 根据词根conscious清醒的，有意识的，结合前缀semi半，局部的，不完全的，我们便可猜出semiconscious词义“半清醒的，半昏迷的。Im illiterate about such things. 词根literate 意为“有文化修养的，通晓的，前缀il表示否认，因此illiterate指 “一窍不通，不知道的。 2. 根据后缀猜想词义 例如：Insecticide is applied where it is needed. 后缀cide表示“杀.者，杀灭剂，结合大家熟悉的词根ins

35、ect昆虫，不难猜出 insecticide意为“杀虫剂。Then the vapor may change into droplets. 后缀let表示“小的，词根drop指“滴，滴状物。将两个意思结合起来，便可推断出droplet词义“小滴，微滴。 3.根据复合词的各局部猜想词义 例如： Growing economic problems were highlighted by a slowdown in oil output. Highlight或许是一个生词，但是分析该词结构后，就能推测出其含义。它是由 high 高的，强的和light光线两局部组成，合在一起便是“以强光照射，使突出

36、的意思。 4. 根据词根猜想词义-tract：drawAttract, detract转移, abstract, distraction，分心, distracter, tractor, retract缩回, 缩进, contract合同,收缩, protract延长, -ject: throwReject, project, subject, eject, -portPorter, portable, export, import, transport, report-pelRepel击退, compel, expel, propel, -spirInspire, aspire, consp

38、 the most voracious newspaper readers in the world. They read newspapers at breakfast; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper on the bus as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they are engrossed in an evening newspaper.一 针对性解释 针对性解释是作者为了更好的表达思想，在文章中对一些重要的概

39、念、难懂的术语或词汇等所作的解 释。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性，利用它们猜词义比拟容易。 1. 根据定义猜想词义 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 person finds himself or herself in a difficult situa

40、tion. 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, be considered, to be, refer to, be called, be known as, define, represent, signify, constitute等。 2.根据复述猜想词义 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。 复述局部可以适当词、短语或是从句。 同位语Fribin, elastic threads of protein, helps blood to clot.Semantics,

41、the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to 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semantics式 同位关系，因此我们不难猜出semantics指“语义学。 Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits. 由同位语我们很快猜出生词capacit

42、ance词义-电容量。 在复述中构成同位关系的两局部之间多用逗号连接，有时也使用破折号，冒号，分号，引号，和括号等。 Donovan believed in using whatever tools came to hand in the “great game of espionagespying as a “profession. (03)需要注意的是：同位语前还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say, i. e. 等副词或短语出现。 Mary felt perturbed; that i

43、s, she was greatly disturbed by her sisters actions.定语从句 Krabacber suffers from SAD, which is short for seasonal affective disorder, 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 syndrome characterized by severe seasonal moo

44、d swings, 我们可以推断出 SAD含义，即“季节性情绪紊乱症。 3.根据举例猜想词义恰当的举例能够提供猜想生词的重要线索 例如： Select a periodical from among the following: Playboy, Time, Readers Digest, or Seventeen.The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were i

45、n the past. 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。二 内在逻辑关系 根据内在逻辑关系推测词义是指运用语言知识分析和判断相关信息之间存在的逻辑关系,然后根据逻辑关系推断生词词义或大致义域。 1. 根据比照关系猜想词义在一个句子或段落中，有对两个事物或现象进行比照性的描述，我们可以根据生词或难词的反义词猜想其词义。 例如：Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I know. His brother, in contrast, is quite hu

46、mble and modest. 该例中supercilious对许多人来说可能是个生词，但是句中短语in contrast，相对照的，相比照的可以提示我们supercilious和后面词组humble and modest谦卑又谦虚是比照关系。分析出这种关系后，我们便能猜出supercilious意为“目空一切的，傲慢的。 表示比照关系的词汇和短语主要是unlike，not，but，however，despite，in spite of，in contrast 和while 引导的并列句等。 A good supervisor can recognize instantly the adep

47、t workers from the unskilled ones. 该句中并未出现上面提到的表示比照关系的词或短语，但是通过上下文可以判断出句子前后是比照关系，即把熟练工人与非熟练工人区分开。这时我们也能够推断出生词 adept的词义，“熟练的。 Diseases that have been dormant for years may suddenly become active if they find themselves in a new environment, such as a human recipients body.2. 根据比拟关系猜想词义 同比照关系相反，比拟关系表示

48、意义上的相似关系。 例如： Green loves to talk，and his brothers are similarly loquacious. 该句中副词similarly说明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间的比拟关系。以此可以推断出 loquacious词义为“健谈的。 表示比拟关系的词和短语主要是similarly，like，just as，also等。 3. 根据因果关系猜想词义在句子或段落种，假设两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系，我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义。 例如： Tom is considered an autocratic admin

49、istrator because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others. 根据原因状语从句的内容，我们可以推断出生词autocratic指“独断专行的。 There were so many demonstrators in the Red Square that he had to elbow his way through the crowd. 此句为结果状语从句，根据从句的描书“许多示威者，我们便可推知elbow的词意“挤，挤过。 4. 根据同义词的替代关系猜想词义在句子或段落种，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语

50、言环境推断生词词义。 例如： Although he often had the opportunity, Mr. Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank, and he did not want to jeopardize his future. 作者为防止重复使用endanger一词，用其同义词jeopardize来替代它，由此推知其词义为“使. . . 陷入危险，危及、危害。 Doctors believe that s

51、moking cigarettes is detrimental to your health. They also regard drinking as harmful. 句中detrimental是个生词，但判断出harmful替代detrimental后，不难推断出其词义为“不利的，有害的。三 外部相关因素 外部相关因素是指篇章(句子或段落)以外的其他知识。有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。这时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。 例如： Husband：its really cold out tonight. Wife: Sure it is. My hands are p

52、ractically numb. How about lighting the furnace? 根据生活经验，天气寒冷时，手肯定是“冻僵的，冻得麻木的。 The snake slithered through the grass. 根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识，我们可以推断出slither词义为“爬行。 综上所述，利用各种信息推测、判断词义是一项重要的阅读技巧。在实践中，我们可以灵活运用，综合运用上面提到的几种猜想技巧，排除生词的障碍，顺利理解文章的思想内容，提高阅读速度。一个句子中难免出现一两个生字。在这种情况下，不必马上查字典，只要根据上下文的关系，就可能猜想生字的意思了。TEXT A 2
