10、e暗示,特别是chance,当机会到来的时候,当然是重要时刻。技巧点拨:解推断题最主要的方法是根据词义关系推断具体细节。A. 根据定义、解释和复述猜测词义。这种情况下,生词往往出现在前面,定义或解释跟在生词的后面,由or或破折号引出。因此只要找准并正确理解生词的释义,生词的含义也就清楚了。释义部分可以是单词、短语,也可以是句子。在做这类题时,要注意生词与复述部分往往构成同位语,在句中多用逗号、破折号、冒号、分号等来连接。B. 根据因果关系猜测词义。因果关系总是同时出现在文章中,有时原因在前,结果在后;有时结果在前,原因在后,因此我们可以根据这一特定的逻辑关系来推测生词的含义。C. 根据搭配、对
11、比关系猜测词义。有时分析句子结构,辨别句子成分,分清搭配关系,是判断词义的前提,通过搭配关系得以确定划线名词指代的对象是人还是物。另外,转折词but、让步条件状语从句以及unlike, in spite of, despite, however等一些介词和副词都可以构成意义上的对比关系。59According to Jim Yong Kim, in order to end world poverty, _Awe must prevent civil unrest from happeningBwe cant ignore the needs of women and youthCwe mus
