专题36【口袋书】阅读理解猜词词义题满分对策教师版阅读理解猜测词义题命题规律探究1.利用1.利用构词法猜测英语单词可以通过添加词缀、合成或转化的方式构成新词或生成新的词义。同学们要熟记一定数量的词根、前缀和后缀，从而达到通过“解剖”一个单词，对一个生词能够“望文生义”的效果，同时结合文章的语境来猜测词义。【考例1】（2016年全国II卷B篇）27.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“downside”inParagraph4probablymean？A.Mistake.

B.Drawback.

C.Difficulty.

D.Burden.原文：Encouragingthiskindofthinkinghasadownside.Irantheriskoflosingthosestudentswhohadadifferentstyleofthinking.Withoutfailonewoulddeclare,“ButI’mjustnotcreative.”【解析】downside是由“down（向下）+side（方面）”构成的合成词，并且后文提到“作者冒着失去那些有不同思维风格的学生的风险”。因此，我们可以猜测该词的意思是“不足，缺点”，故选B项。2.2.利用因果法猜测若画线单词或短语前后句子之间构成因果关系，那我们便可以根据这种因果逻辑关系推知单词或短语的意义。根据前面的原因可以推测后面的结果，根据后面的结果也可以反推前面的原因。因果关系的语境通常由because、so、thus、therefore、asaresultof、since、sothat、so/such...that...等标志词体现。【考例2】（2019年全国II卷B篇）25.Whatdoestheunderlinedphrase“tugattheheartstrings”inParagraph2mean？A.Encourageteamwork.

B.Appealtofeeling.C.Promotegooddeeds.

D.Provideadvice.原文：Iguessthatthere’sprobablysomedemandingworkschedule,orsocialanxietyaroundsteppinguptohelpforanunknownsport.Shemayjustneedalittlepersuading.SoItryagainandtugattheheartstrings.ImentionthesingleparentwithfourkidsrunningtheshowandItalkaboutthedadcoachingateamthathiskidsaren’tevenon…Atthispointtheunwillingparentspeaksup,“Alright.Yes,I’lldoit.”【解析】3.利用同义法猜测由逻辑词“so”可知，此处可以借助因果逻辑关系猜测词义句意。画线部分的前一句提到“她可能需要有人劝说一下”，故“tugattheheartstrings”应该有“劝说”的意思。“appealtofeeling”意思是“打动某人，唤起某人的情感”3.利用同义法猜测画线单词或短语前后有时会出现与之同义或近义的词语或结构，它往往暗示了该单词或短语的含义，这时我们可从熟悉的词语中推知生词的含义。常见的表示同义关系的词或短语有and、or、like、aswell、similarly、too、also、either等。当画线单词或短语与其他单词或短语由并列连词或者表示相同相似关系的副词连接时，意味着这两部分内容在含义上是接近的，由此可确定同等关系中的某个单词或短语所属的义域，进而可推知其大致意思。【考例3】（2015年四川卷D篇）44.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“nocturnal”inParagraph5mean？A.Activeatnight.

B.Inactiveatnight.C.Activeduringtheday.

D.Inactiveduringtheday.原文：Anditisnotjustrobinsthatarebeingkeptawakebyartificiallight.Blackbirdsandseagullsarealsobeingmorenocturnal.4.利用反义法猜测【解析】画线单词前一句说“不是只有知更鸟在人造光下会一直醒着”，而“also（也）”表明这一句与前面表达的意思相近，即“黑鹂和海鸥也更活跃”。“nocturnal”应该是“awake”的近义词，意为“夜间活跃的”4.利用反义法猜测运用转折对比描述事物或现象是写作时常用的一种手法，作者常借用一些信号词来提供相反信息，从而表明一个词语与前面或后面的另一个词语互为反义或转折对比关系。抓住这些信号词，结合上下文意，我们就能够快速推测出词义。体现对比关系的词语很多，常见的有but、yet、however、while、unlike、instead（of）、ontheotherhand、ratherthan、onthecontrary等。【考例4】（2012年全国II卷D篇）54.Whatdothewords“areplica”inParagraph2referto？A.Apaintingoftheskeleton.

B.AphotographofLucy.C.Acopyoftheskeleton.

D.AwrittenrecordofLucy.原文：EventheEthiopianpublichasonlyseenLucytwice.TheLucyonexhibitionattheEthiopianNationalMuseuminthecapital,AddisAbaba,isareplicawhiletherealremainsareusuallylockedinasecretstoreroom.【解析】由“while（而）”可知，本题可以使用反义法解题。根据画线词后面的“whiletherealremainsareusuallylockedinasecretstoreroom”可知，“while”前后构成转折对比关系，所以画线词与“real”意思相反，意思应为“假的”，故答案为C，意思是“一个骨骼的复制品”。5.5.利用语境法猜测有些猜测词义句意题找不到以上标志或线索，这时我们可以利用上下文提供的语境进行合乎逻辑的综合分析，进而推测词义句意。【考例5】（2019年全国I卷B篇）25.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“stumbles”inparagraph2referto？A.Improperpauses.

B.Badmanners.C.Spellingmistakes.

D.Sillyjokes.原文：Buthe’snervous.“I’mheretotellyoutodaywhyyoushould…should…”Christripsonthe“-ld,”apronunciationdifficultyformanynon-nativeEnglishspeakers.Histeacher,ThomasWhaley,isnexttohim,whisperingsupport.“…Votefor…me…”Exceptforsomestumbles，Chrisisdoingamazinglywell.Whenhebringshisspeechtoaniceconclusion,Whaleyinvitestherestoftheclasstopraisehim.【解析】根据上下文语境可知，老师借助竞选演说鼓励同学们学会赞美自己。文中Chris的母语不是英语，他学英语才三年多，说话不流利，而且他在演讲时非常紧张，所以说话磕磕绊绊，经常停顿。“stumble”一词描述的是Chris演讲时的状态，而A项的意思是“不恰当的停顿”，故正确答案为A。6.利用6.利用常识法猜测在仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系和语境无法猜出词义时，我们可以借助生活经验和普通常识确定词义。【考例6】（2020年江苏卷C篇）61.Theunderlinedexpression“stomachit”inParagraph1mostprobablymeans“

_______

”.A.digestthemealeasily

B.managewithoutbreakfastC.decidewiselywhattoeat

D.eatwhateverisoffered原文：Forthosewhocanstomachit,workingoutbeforebreakfastmaybemorebeneficialforhealththaneatingfirst,accordingtoastudyofmealtimingandphysicalactivity.【解析】此题考查“stomach”的生僻意思。根据生活常识可知，有的人锻炼前不吃早饭是受不了的，所以此处意为“如果可以忍受空腹的话，在吃早饭前去锻炼比吃过早餐后去锻炼好处更多”，故选B项。高考英语试题的阅读材料选材地道、内容新颖、语言鲜活，常蕴含丰富地道的词汇和表达方式。文章中有时会出现生词，抑或是使用熟词的生僻意思，借此考查考生是否具有通过构词、语法、定义、同位、同义、对比、因果、常识、上下文语境等线索推断词义句意的能力。同学们在复习过程中应熟练掌握考纲所要求的3500个词汇，同时具备必要的构词知识，扩大阅读量，再适当运用以上猜词锦囊，相信会对解答好猜词悟义题有所助益。调研01阅读理解猜测词义题调研01(2023新课标I卷C篇)Partoneconcludesbyintroducingmysuggestedmethodforadoptingthisphilosophy:thedigitaldeclutter.Thisprocessrequiresyoutostepawayfromoptionalonlineactivitiesforthirtydays.Attheendofthethirtydays,youwillthenaddbackasmallnumberofcarefullychosenonlineactivitiesthatyoubelievewillprovidemassivebenefitstothethingsyouvalue.9.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“declutter”inparagraph3mean?A.Clear-up.
