2021届高考英语一轮复习 阅读理解分类练习 专题03 阅读理解之猜测词义学与练（含解析）.doc

1、专题03阅读理解之猜测词义学与练Part 1 整体感知猜测词义题旨在考查学生根据上下文推测生词、短语或句意的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。近几年猜测词义题难度略有增加，需要在较为复杂的句式中通过上下文综合分析才能得出答案。一、 猜测词义类题目常见的设问方式如下：1. The word “”refers to/probably means _.2. The underlined word “” could best be replaced by _.3. What do you think the expression “”stands for?4. By saying “” we me

2、an _.5. “” as used in the passage can best be defined as _.6. Which of the following words can take the place of the word “”?Part 2 方法指导1. 利用指代关系来猜测代词词义代词词义的猜测即找出人称代词、指示代词所指代的内容。对于代词所指代的内容的判断，首先我们要连读前后段落，了解前后两段文章的内容，然后判断画线代词的类型。接下来仔细阅读前句，一般来说代词的词义推测主要是看前面句子所出现的名词及相当于名词的表达。典题例证（2017.全国卷II阅读B节选）We sha

3、red the belief that if youre fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newmans Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival.

4、sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief. B.Their care for children.C.Their success. D.Their support for each other.解析 根据“We shared the belief that if youre fortuna

5、te enough to have success, you should put something back”可知，下文的内容是对 the belief的解释，that引导同位语从句，解释说明the belief的具体内容。下文提到了我们并不经常见面，但是分享这个信念把我们带到了一起。故答案为A.2. 利用定义来猜测词义在许多情况下，作者预计到某个词一般读者不熟悉，则会在文章中给出该词的定义或解释。这种解释可能是一种重复说明或定义。通过阅读定义和解释部分，学生便可理解该词的基本含义、线索词有that，which is 等。典题例证（2015.北京高考阅读C节选）Transparent an

6、imals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window.解析 通过本句中的定义“the same way light passes through a window”可知，transparent应意为“透明的”。3. 利用定语或同位语来猜测词义通常引出该词同位语的词语有or， that is， in other words等，还有的同位语以括号或破折号的形式出现。在这些标记词后学生可较易找到同画线词意义相同或相近的词。典题例证（2018全国卷II阅读B节选）If you have

7、a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away.

8、me out below.26. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert. B. A drink.C. A container. D. A machine.解析 本段对juicer的功能做了描述，从其中的“you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert”这些字眼可以看出juicer是一种机器，是一种将冷冻的香蕉、浆果等制成果汁的机器，此外，最后一句中的“

9、they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.”明确指出画线词指的是一种机器（榨汁机），因此选D.4. 利用文章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。典题例证 （2018.全国卷III阅读D节选）Adults understand what it feels like t

10、o be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings?

11、. Enough is enough.C. More money, more worries.D. Earn more and spend more.解析 根据第一句“Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects.”和画线短语后的“when it comes to kids and their belongings”可知这里的more is more与前面的flooded with 同义，成年人喜欢物品像洪水一样覆盖生活中，即大量的，越多越好。故选择A。5. 利用文章中的举例猜测词义在阅读理解中学生可以根据文章所

12、举的例子，从具体到一般，猜出该生词的意思。举例常用到的信号词有：such as，suchas，for example，for instance，like，including，especially等。典题例证（2016.全国卷III阅读D节选）Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. 解析 根据画线词的举

13、例“like anger or anxiety”可推知，画线部分的意思应该是“消极的”。6. 利用对比或比较的词语来猜测的词义当作者强调的事物之间有区别或对立时往往会运用对比的手法，即会用到对比的词语，例如反义词，也可以暗示出生词的含义。注意这些词语和内容则能帮助判断所需内容。能体现对比关系的词汇主要有but，yet，however，while，unlike，instead，on the other hand，on the contrary, in contrast with等。标点符号中的分号也可以表示对比。典题例证If you re tired of wandering around th

68、的蓄水池。这接近于美国人均日用水量，但大约是国际空间站每位宇航员日用水量的10倍）可知，美国人均日用水量是380升的水，这个用水量是每位宇航员日用水量的10倍。因此可以算出宇航员日用水量38升左右。故选B 项。【16题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段If humans ever settle on Mars, they will need water. There is just one problem-there seems to be only huge sheets of ice. Luckily, we know how to drill ice for water. Such methods are already used in Antarctica, and researchers now think they could get them to work on the Red Planet, too.（如果人类在火星定居，他们将需要水。只有一个问题这里似乎只有巨大冰层。幸运的是，我们知道如何钻冰取水。这种方法已经在南极洲使用，研究人员现在认为他们也可以在这颗红色星球上使用）可知，如果人类要在火星上生存可以通过人类现有的技术在火星巨大的冰层上钻冰取水。在文章第二段提到，在火星上找到了可被人类利用的冰。文章第三段提到了现有的“钻冰取水”的技术。综合分析，故选D项。
