托福閱讀解題過程中遭遇不認(rèn)識的生詞是一件比較尷尬的事情,如果說閱讀文章里有生詞可能還不影響理解,那么題目中如何看到生詞很可能這道題就沒法解決了。當(dāng)然即使是生詞也可以通過猜詞義的方式來應(yīng)對,具體怎么做?下面小編會詳細(xì)介紹。
1、根據(jù)同義、反義關(guān)系猜詞
如果該詞前或后出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容提示它們是反義關(guān)系。(表示相反概念的詞語如下rather than,instead,unlike,contrast,on the contrary.)
例如:
the main conflict in the novel is between a mother who places a highvalue on hard work and honor and a son who repudiates his mother's valuesinstead preferring the easier path to fortune and celebrity
the word repudiates in the passage in closest in meaning to __
A、refuses to accept B、lives up to C、tries to understand D、makes the best of
假如repudiates我們不認(rèn)識,從后面的小詞 instead 這個詞判定兒子和媽媽價值觀念是相反的,由此信息看四個選項,你會發(fā)現(xiàn)只有A選項帶有否定的意味
托福閱讀刷題看到陌生詞匯怎么辦?學(xué)會猜詞技巧就能合理推斷詞義圖2
2、根據(jù)句意或段落文章的上、下文猜測
(1)、后面的句子或短詞單詞在解釋前面的詞。(常見的標(biāo)志詞:contribute to,be responsible for,account for,since ,therefore ,for,because,in which等)
his big break came with the novel so big(1924) ,which wasawarded the pulitzer in literature.
the word break in this sentence could best be replaced by ___
A、rupture B、revelation C、opportunity D、rest
which was awarded the pulitzer in literature告訴我們一定考查的是正態(tài)度,所以答案不可能是AD,所以應(yīng)該選C、opportunity 是一種有利的狀態(tài)或合適的時機。
(2)后面的和此詞為并列關(guān)系。(并列關(guān)系詞如下:and not only ..but also as…as and both … andeither… or neither… nor.)
以上就是托福閱讀中遭遇生詞猜詞義的技巧實例分享,希望能為大家提供有效應(yīng)對生詞的技巧思路。
