1、第四讲 顺藤摸瓜 明辨词义猜测名师点拨 技能提升 经典案例 全景剖析 分类集训 以小博大 跟踪训练 知能提长 考试说明指出:正确理解文章中单词或短语的含义是理解文章的第一步,也是理解文章的基础。但英语单词的含义并非完全等同于词典中所标注的汉语意思,其含义随不同的语境会有所不同。能根据上下文正确理解灵活变化的词义,才算是真正初步具备了一定的阅读理解能力。此外,阅读文章时,常常会遇到一些过去未见过的词,但许多这类生词的词义可以通过上下文推断出来。这种不使用词典而通过阅读上下文来推断生词含义的能力,是一个合格的读者所必须具备的能力,因此也是阅读理解中经常检测的一种能力。设题方式知方向词义猜测题常见的
2、命题方式有以下几种:1The word/phrase“.”in the passage means_.2The word/phrase“.”could be best replaced by _.3Which of the following is nearest/closest in meaning to_?4The word/phrase“.”probably refers to _.5According to the passage,the word“.”is known as _.解题技巧明方法1利用上下文线索猜测词义(1)重述作者为了使某一难词或术语的含义更清楚,通常会使用常用、简明
3、的词或词组对其进行解释,这就是重述。重述部分通过逗号与句子的其他部分隔开(有时也使用破折号、冒号、分号或括号)或用信号词引导。常见的信号词有:or,namely,that is,in other words,that is to say,to be more exact,to put in another way 等等。(2)定义作者常常通过给某些词汇下定义来帮助读者理解词义,尤其在一些科普类、社科类及与专业内容相关的文章中,定义解释作者所用词的准确含义。下定义时,作者通常使用信号词,如 i.e.,is,are,is/are called,mean,refer to,known as 等等。(
4、3)举例作者常常会通过对某一难词给出具体的例子,帮助读者理解该词的词义。举例常用的信号词有:such as,such.as,for example,for instance,like,including,especially 等。(4)同义词或近义词在同一句、同一段或同一篇文章中,作者为了避免语言的单调、重复,有时会使用意思相同或相近的词。因此,考生只要读懂上下文,知道其中一个词的意思。就能猜出另外一个词的意思。(5)反义词有时作者会用表示对比或转折的信号词连接意思相反的两个词或句子,这时就可根据反义词线索猜测词义。表示对比或反义的信号词/词组常见的有:(whether).or,unlike,
5、but,yet,however,while,although,nevertheless,instead,rather than,in contrast,on the contrary,on the other hand 等。2根据语法知识猜测词义在英语句子中,同位语或同位语从句、定语从句等都起着解释说明、补充或限定的作用,因此也能提供猜测词义的线索。3根据上下文逻辑猜测词义有时单词所在的上下文中没有明显的解释说明性线索,这时可根据上下文的逻辑关系进行推理,以确定某一难词或短语的意义。4根据构词法猜测词义英语中的许多词汇,特别是不断出现的新词大多是通过构词法生成的。因此,掌握主要的构词法有助于猜
6、测词义。5根据常识或背景知识猜测词义有时考生可运用自己的常识或背景知识,根据上下文猜测词义。干扰特点晓陷阱1字面解释的选项词义猜测题考查的就是考生能不能结合文章其他信息来理解词句在具体语境中的意思,所以正确答案绝对不会是考生词句的字面解释。2与上下文结合不紧密的选项选项如果是上段、上上段或下段、下下段中的内容,是很难和所考查单词、词组或句子产生任何逻辑和语义关系的。猜测指代题时需利用上下文语境,理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系,使之明朗化,因为,代词多数都出现在被指代词之后,然后再代入原句,看逻辑关系是否通顺,句意是否合理。识真题高考这样考(2017高考全国卷C)Some of the world

16、士乐的听众数量正在减少,爵士乐未能受到年轻一代的欢迎,第三段首句提到 Jason Moran 的工作就是要帮助改变这一现象,由此可知that 指代“爵士乐不受年轻人欢迎”这一现象,故选 C 项。A 项曲解文意,根据第三段中的 Moran hopes to.make the music more accessible 可知,Jason Moran 希望爵士乐能更容易被人们了解,显然该项“爵士乐正变得更容易被人们了解”不符合文意。B 项无中生有,文章没有提到“爵士乐的制作变快了”。D项颠倒是非,根据第二段中的 in the US.the jazz audience continues to shr
17、ink 可知,在美国爵士乐的听众数量正在减少,该项与文意恰恰相反。28解析:选 D。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“.to raise awareness of jazz music,its significance,and its potential as a unifying(联合)voice across cultures.”可知,设立国际爵士乐日是为了提高人们 对爵士乐的认识,故选 D 项“认可爵士乐的价值”。A、B、C 三项无中生有,文章没有提及 A 项“纪念爵士乐的诞生”、B 项“保护文化的多样性”和 C 项“鼓励人们学习音乐”。30解析:选 C。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中 Jaso
18、n Moran的话可知,他认为世界的运作方式跟以前不一样了,爵士乐也应该继续发展,故选 C 项。A 项无中生有,文章没有提到“爵士乐会逐渐消失”。B 项颠倒是非,根据第四段中的“.jazz is not black and white anymore.”可知,爵士乐不再是黑白的。D 项无中生有,文章没有提到“爵士乐每 50 年改变一次”。31解析:选 A。标题归纳题。文章介绍了国际爵士乐日的设立,讨论了爵士乐现在面临的问题,即未受到年轻一代的关注,且其娱乐方面的属性已经丢失,故 A 项“探索爵士乐的未来”作为标题最合适。B 项曲解文意,文章不是介绍“爵士乐的兴衰”。C 项无中生有,文章没有讲述
19、“一个爵士乐音乐家的故事”。D 项以偏概全,第一段提到了国际爵士乐日的设立,但文章不是主要介绍“庆祝爵士乐日”的。语篇框架答 案:recognice/realize the value of Jazz raise awareness of jazz music its significance The poor situation that jazz is facing1猜单词义(1)(2016高考全国卷乙阅读 C 节选)I am Peter Hodes,a volunteer stem cell courier.Since March 2012,Ive done 89 tripsof tho
