高中英语解题指导15猜测词义历年考题(含答案解析)

高中英语必考点解题指导15猜测词义精选历年考题(含答案解析)

本类考题解答锦囊

英语的一个显著特点是它庞大的词汇数量。即使一个拥有上万单词量的人在阅读英语读物中也难免会

遇到生词。如果每遇到生词，就查阅词典，不但会降低阅读速度，而且往往使阅读变得索然无味。据调查，

影响人们阅读理解的，首先是词汇。因此学习并掌握一些猜测生词词义的方法，对排除阅读时某些生词的

干扰，降低生词率是十分必要的。

任何一个买词，只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一个确定的词义。NMET阅读理解中猜测词义的考查内

容既可以是文中的生词，也可以是熟词新义、短语或句子。但都要求考生根据上下文线索(即具体语境)作

出推断。此类题的提问形式一般有：

1.Whichofthefollowingisnearest/closestinmeaningto〃・・・〃?

2.Theunderlinedword,means.

3.Theunderlinedphrase,means.

4.Theunderlinedsentence,means.

利用上下文的提示猜测词义的方法有如下几种：

1•根据定义或解释猜测词义

【例题】

(1)Acalendarisalistofthedays,weeks,monthsofaparticularyear.

根据定义，calendar的意思是日历

(2)Abiographyisthestoryofaperson，slifewrittenbysomeoneelse根据定义，biography的

意思是凡别人写的生平叫做传记。

(3)SomewritersarenolongerwritingaboutthemodernvaluesoftheUSA--money,Successor

expensivethingstobuy.

2.破折号后而的内容是对value一词的具体解释。

【例题】

(l)Herepliedquickly.Butafterheconsideredtheproblemmorecarefully,heregrettedhaving

madesuchahastydecision.根据耻下文学语境意义，可悟出quickly与hasty同义。

(2)Althoughpeopleinmanycountriesconsiderrawmeatadelicacy(美味)，weChinesepeopleseldom

eatanymeatthatisuncooked.根据上下文语境意义得知rawmeat即是meatthatisuncooked.Raw

与uncooked表示相同意思生的，未煮过的。

(3)—1thinkwearebeingwatched.

--Really?Whatmakesyouthinkweareundersurveillance?根据语境,可判断出beingwatched

-15undersurveillance是同义关系。

(4)Duringtheconcert,thechildrenwerequietbutafterwards,theybecameboiaterous.

but表示转折意思，因此bomterous是quiet的反义词，意思为吵吵嚷嚷的。

(5)Unlikehergregarioussister,Janeisashyperson,whodoesnotliketogotoparties,orto

makenewfriends.

unlike是关键词，它表示Jane与她的姐姐完全不同。根据后面对Jane的描述“…ashyperson,...not

liketogopartiesortomakenewfroends，,可得知gregarious的意思是好交际的。

3.根据举例

【例题】

(l)Scientistsarestudyinghowbirdssuchternsmigrate.

根据举例法(suchas),得知terns是一种鸟。

(2)Todayyoungcoupleswhoarejuststartingtheirhouseholdsoftenspendlotsoftheirmoney

onappliances?forexample,washing--machines,fridgesandcolorTVs.

根据举例法(forexample),得知appliances是指washing-machines,fridgesandcolorTVs这类家用

电器。

(3)Severalothergases,suchasargon,comprisetheremainingonepercentofthevolumeofdry

air.

SUChas提示argon为某种气体。

4.根据因果关系。

【例题】

(l)Shedidnothearwhatyousaidbecauseshewascompletelyengrossedinherreading.

because之前的分句表示结果，之后的分句表示原因，可推理，她没有听见的原因是她完全被阅读吸引

住了或她正全神贯注地看书。因此engrossed的意思是被吸引的，全神贯注的。

(2)Thenoisewassofaintthatitwasimpossibletobesurewhatitwasorevenwhereitcame

fronL

So...that...,结构引导的句子也表示因果关系。因此可判断出faint在此句中的意思是微弱的。

声音太弱，以致不能确认是什么声音或是从哪里发出的。

（3）ThiSkindofflowerthrivesinthisareabecausetheweatheriswarm,theSoilisexcellent,

andthereiSalotofrain。

because一词决定了flower与warmweather,excellentsOil,alOtOfrain之间是因果关系。

因此thdves的意思是茂盛成长。

5.根据句意或上下文语境

例1Ifhethinkshecaninvitemeout,heisallwet.Idon'tliketobewiththethem.

A.drunkB.sweatingC.happyD.mistaken

【解析】根据第二句我不喜欢跟他在一起，可推断出，如果他认为他能约我出去，那他就错了。这两

句话实际上暗含因果关系。

【答案】D

例2Attheageof77,Johnwasstillplayingaskillfulgameoftennis,ranfourmileseverydday

andseldommissedhisdailyswim.Foramanofhisagehewasextremelyrobust.

Accordingtotheshortpassage,theword“robust"，probablymeans_.

AostrangeB.weakC.strongninteresting

【答案】C根据语境的意思，一个77岁的人还能如此运动，可以说是身体不错，因此可以推断robust

是strong强壮的意思。

由此可见猜测词义离不开上下文、离不开具体语境。

命题目的与解题技巧：本文有关题考查学生猜测词义能力。做这类题的关键是学生根据上下文线索（即具

体语境）作出推断。

【解析】本文是一篇关于是否该穿校服的争论的议论文。有人认为校服会扼杀孩子的创造性，但很

显然作者是同意穿校服的，认为穿校服可以在学生中间培养公平意识。

【答案】1.D猜测词义。从下文看，作者例数校服的诸多好处，显然“benifits〃在此有“优点，

好处”之义。其他三词tasks（任务），messages（信息），differences（不同），意思相差甚远。

2.B细节推断。从第三段第一句话"AsinOtherplaces,uniformsremindthewearersoftheirpurpose

andduties〃可推知，制服（unifontt）帮助穿衣者时刻记住其职责。

3.B细节题。从最后一段第一句："Someparents...，sayin8thatschooluniformswillaffecttheir

children'screatiVity〃可直接选出答案。

4.D主旨推断题。纵览全文，作者的观点是认为学生穿校服可以培养公平意识，对于创造性可以在其他

时间和事件中培养。
