卷首语
猜词是应用英语的重要能力,也是考研英语大纲的要求。大纲规定:阅读理解部分,考生需理解具体信息、掌握文章大意、猜测生词词义并进行推断。由于考纲允许的生词出现率是3%,这样在一篇400词的文章中就会出现12个左右的生词,这就要求考生积极扩展词汇量,从上下文中猜测词汇的意思;并记忆常见词根、词缀,学会从词的原义推断起引申义等。
5、利用文中的反义词(对比关系)猜测词义。
表示对比关系的词汇和短语主要是unlike,not,but,however,despite,in spite of,in contrast和while引导的并列句。
Example:
All of these ideas about the communication of the future are fantacies ,to be sure ,but many of them are fantasies that are very likely to become realities .
fantasies与realities意思相反,可推测其词义为“幻想”。
6、利用因果关系猜测词义
在句子或段落中,若两个事物、现象之间构成因果关系,我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推知生词词义。
Example:
There were so many demonstrstors in the Red Square that he had to elbow his way through the crowd.
此句为结果状语从句,根据从句的描述“许多示威者”,我们便可推知elbow的词意“挤,挤过”。
