2022年同等学力申硕考试备考大幕已全面拉开,如何合理复习,在同等学力英语考试中胸有成竹应考,拔得头筹呢?科学的复习+合理的习题训练才是最有效的途径,新东方在线考研小编就给考研阶段的同学们提供了“同等学力英语考试阅读:判断与猜测词义”,助力同学们更高效的学习!
一、利用上下文线索猜测词义
1.根据同义、反义关系猜词。
Today´s teenagers seem to be more liberal in their ideas than their _______ grandparents.
A.freethinking
B.traditional
C.old
D.happy
traditional与liberal意思相反,故选B。
2.根据句意或段落文章的上、下文猜测词义。
Klebold and Harris felt _______ and wanted to revenge against those who disliked playing together with them or laughed at them.
A.discouraged
B.ashamed
C.tired
D.separated
根据下文的disliked playing together with them判断此处应为"感到孤立",故选D。
二、利用构词法猜测词义
此法包括利用前、后缀及合成词猜测词义。
1.用前、后缀猜测词义。
英语中的前缀、后缀构词颇多,且特定的"缀"往往表示特定的含义,把握住这一点,可起到"以不变应万变"的效果。
1)He had been overworking and fell ill at last.
overwork是由前缀over-加动词构成,over有"超过,过于"之意,overwork意思是"工作过多,劳累过度"。再如,overburden负担过重,overcharge要价过高,overdo做得过分。
英语中常用的前缀还有:
mis-错,误:misfortune不幸;mislead误导;mismanage处理不当;
mid-中央:midnight半夜;midway半路;
under-低于:underdone半生不熟的;underestimate低估
anti-反对:antibody抗体;anticyclone反气旋;antifreeze防冻剂
下面划线单词为常见后缀派生词:
1) You must stop dreaming and face reality. (-ty为名词的标志)
2) The country is trying to popularize education. (-ize为及物动词的标志,再如realize, modernize)
2.利用合成词猜测词义。
Family members take turns choosing a special activity for the evening, and everyone partakes in for fun.
根据短语构成及上下文意思看,此处partakes in相当于takes part in。再如break out-outbreak(名词"爆发"),set out-outset(名词"起始"),come in-income(名词"收入")
以上介绍了几种猜测词义的方法,相信对同学们积累词汇、理解文章意思会有所帮助。英语学习应日积月累,并时刻做有心人,发现规律,寻找技巧,提高英语水平。
