高考练场

题型简介

1.词义猜测题是高考英语阅读理解中的常见题型。主要考查考生根据上下文语境来推测单

词、短语或句子含义的能力。在阅读过程中，考生难免会遇到一些生词或具有特殊含义的

词汇，这种题型就是检验考生能否通过文章的线索和逻辑关系来理解这些词汇的真实意

思。它不仅要求考生有一定的词汇量，还需要具备较强的语境理解能力。高考英语对于词

义猜测题的考查，每年都有一到两题。

2.该题型涉及的文章体裁丰富多样，无论是记叙文、说明文还是议论文都有可能出现词义猜

测题。尤其是科技类说明文中，作者通常会对一些关键词或专业术语进行解释。常见的有

对该词下定义或后跟同位语、定语从句、冒号、破折号、括号等引出解释说明部分。通过

阅读定义或解释部分，读者便可理解该词或短语的意思。而且，被猜测的词可能是超纲

词，也可能是熟悉词汇的生僻含义。

命题类型

1.猜测单词的意思：这是最常见的类型，文章中出现一个生词，要求考生根据上下文来猜测

其含义。例如，在描述一种新的科学技术的文章中，出现了一个专业术语，通过对该技术

的原理、应用场景等周边信息的描述来猜测这个专业术语的意思。

2.猜测短语的意思：一些由两个或多个单词组成的短语，其含义可能不是各个单词意思的简

单相加。比如，“afar-cryfrom”这个短语在句子中的意思需要结合上下文来理解，可能是

“与……大不相同”的意思，而不是从字面理解的“从远处哭泣”。

3.猜测句子的含义：要求考生理解一个句子的隐含意义。这个句子可能是含有隐喻、象征等

修辞手法，或者是在特定的文化、技术等语境下具有特殊的含义。例如，“Thenewpolicy

isthelightattheendofthetunnelforthestrugglingcompany.”这里的句子意思不是简单的字

面意思，而是表示“新政策是这家陷入困境的公司的希望之光”。

解题思路

1.利用上下文语境：这是最关键的方法。通过观察生词所在句子的前后文，寻找解释、定

义、举例、对比、因果等线索。例如，如果句子中有“thatis”“inotherwords”“namely”等

词，后

面的内容很可能是对生词的解释；如果有“suchas”“forexample”，则后面的例子可以帮助

我们理解生词的含义。

2.利用逻辑关系：注意文章中的转折、并列、因果等逻辑关系。如果出现“but”“however”等

转折词，那么生词的意思可能与前面的内容相反；如果是“and”“also”等并列词，生词的

意思可能与相邻词汇相近。

3.利用构词法：对于一些有词根、词缀的单词，可以通过分析其词根、词缀来猜测大致意

思。例如，“un-”这个前缀通常表示否定，“pre-”表示“在……之前”。但要注意，有些

词缀在不同的单词中有不同的意思，而且有些单词不能单纯依靠构词法来准确猜测。

4.代入验证：将猜测的意思代入原文，看是否符合上下文的逻辑和语境。如果代入后句子通

顺，并且与文章的主题、情节等相符，那么这个猜测很可能是正确的。

一般来说，词义猜测题常用解题方法：定义法、对比法、因果法、常识联想法、例举法、语境线索法、构

词法等。猜词题可以使用以下口决：

1.指代词：出现指代往前找，单复人物要看好；

2.半熟悉词，利用构词法：半生不熟看构词，结合语境来把持；

3.纯生词，则利用逻辑关系、同义解释、上下文语境：同义语境和逻辑，上下求索寻真义。

命题方式

【常见考法】词义猜测题经常使用的提问方式有：

1)Theword“ABC”inthepassageprobablymeans________.

2)Theunderlinedword“ABC”inthepassagerefersto/means_______.

3)Whichofthefollowingisclosestinmeaningtotheunderlinedwordinthesecondparagraph？

4)Theunderlinedsentenceinthelastparagraphmeans____．

5)Theword"it（them）"inthefirstparagraphrefersto____．

题型01定义法

有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释。一般通过定义、定语

从句、同位语短语或从句等来确定词义。有时通过or,thatis,thatistosay,namely,inotherwords等来释

义。需要解释的单词和短语大多是专有名词、生僻词或文中较重要的词。标点符号，如逗号后的解释(名

词同位语)、破折号后的解释、括号内的解释等。定义常用的谓语动词多为：be,mean,dealwith,

beconsideredtobe,becalled,define,represent,referto,signify(意味，表明)等。这都是判断该词或短语意义

的主要依据。

10．Whichofthefollowingisclosestinmeaningtotheunderlinedwordinparagraph4?

A．entrancesB．examinationsC．questionsD．tracks

题型02对比法

利用前后对比来猜测词义。转折连词“but”、让步状语从句、条件从句和“unlike”,“inspiteof”,“onthe

contrary”,“ontheotherhand”,“however”等介词、副词能构成前后意义上的对比关系。而as,like,justasalso

等词则可以帮助构成意义上相似、成份上对应的比较关系。这些都是我们解决猜词的标识词语。

A.Consciousness.B.Suffering.C.Refreshment.D.Amusement.

题型03因果法

因果关系是一种常见的、行之有效的提供生词词义信息的逻辑关系，一定的原因会导致一定的结果，

某一结果总是由某种或某些原因引起的，不管生词出现在原因分句还是结果分句，我们都能从因果关系中

推出其含义。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。作者在叙述原因的

过程中就必然会把词或句子置于因果关系中。

常见的表示因果关系的词汇：since,as,because,for,so,thus,consequently,therefore,hence,dueto,

owingto,thanksto,onaccountof,resultin,resultfrom,asaresult,forthisreason,accordingly,so...that...,sothat,

such...that等。

阅读题文段题材丰富，涉及社会、科普、政治、文化、经济、历史、生活、风俗等多方面知识。

题型05例举法

通过一些例子说明生词的词义,用suchas,forexample,like,forinstance等来引出。在特定的情况下，

作者通过一连串同一类型或范畴的词语来表达其思想，如果有一生词就在一系列同范畴的词语中，可以通

过这些词的特征和语义范围来推断出生词的词义范围。
