高考英语阅读理解猜测猜词方法大全(18种)

大家知道,我们在进行英语阅读时遇到生词是难免的事。若是平时的阅读,遇到生词可以查词典,但若是参加考试,那就没办法去查词典了。因此,我们在平时的阅读中有意识地培养自己的猜测生词词义的能力就显得十分必要了。下面为大家归纳18种简单实用的推测生词词的方法,供同学们参考。

1. 根据因果关系

表示因果关系的有because, so that, so…that, such…that等。如:

You shouldn’t reproach him for that, for it wasn’t his fault.

【分析】根据句中的 for it wasn’t his fault(那不是他的错),可推知reproach的意思应是“责备”。

2. 根据转折关系

表示转折关系的有though, but, however等,但有时也可用破折号或分号来表示转折的意义。如:

A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months. (全国卷)

What does the underlined word “hassle” probably mean?

A. a party designed by specialists

B. a plan requiring careful thought

C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble

D. a demand made by guests

【分析】答案为C。通过上下句A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun可以推知,hasslea basket of fun表示近乎相反的意义。

3. 根据并列关系

表示并列关系的有and, or等。例如:

In the ancient city of Rome, we visited every mansion, battle site, theatre and other public halls.

【分析】因为mansion与“战场遗址”“剧院”等表示场所的词语并列,所以mansion应属于场所一类的东西。

4. 根据比喻关系

表示比喻关系的词语有as…as, like等。如:

The hot-air balloon took off. It was as buoyant in the air as a rose leaf in water.

【分析】根据“就像水中的玫瑰叶”这一比喻可知,buoyant的意思是“飘浮的”。

5. 根据对比关系

表示对比关系的有标志性词语有unlike, not, while, on the other hand, in spite of, in contrast等。如

He had been getting better, but during the night his condition deteriorated.

【分析】but 表明 deteriorate get better意思相反即表示恶化

If you agree, say “Yes”; if you dissent, say “No”.

【分析】根据前后的对比关系,我们不难猜出dissent的意思与agree相反,即表示“不同意”。
