32、时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语, 下面接着出现其定义或解释, 这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。2. 根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语, 对前面的词进行解释, 这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。3. 根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测。在英语中, 有很多词可以在前面加前缀, 在后面加后缀, 从而构成一个词, 乍看起来, 这个词可能是新词, 但掌握了一定的构词知识, 就不难猜出它的词义。4. 根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读中, 根据原因可以预测结果, 根据结果也可以找出原因。5. 根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词i

33、t, that, he, him 或them可以指上文提到的人或物, 其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远, 要认真查找; 也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结, 才能得出代词所指代的事。6. 根据同义关系进行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时, 其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的, 由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域, 进而推知其大致意思。7. 根据转折或对比关系进行猜测。根据上下句的连接词, 如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别, 从而依据某一句的含义, 来确定另一句的含义。另外, 分号也可以表示转折、

34、对比等意义。例如小题6是根据下文的解释Once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode. 当这一集结束后, 许多平台会弹出“你可能会喜欢”的提示, 或者会自动播放下一集。由此可知, 通常情况下, 不是每周发布一集, 而是同时发布一整部。故可推断concurrently在本句中意为“同时”, 与at the same time同义, 故选B。. 阅读填句(2020哈
