四六級(jí)考試閱讀理解中的詞匯題如何得分
詞匯(Vocabulary)是四級(jí)閱讀理解測(cè)試中非常重要的一項(xiàng)。詞匯類其實(shí)也是就細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行提問(wèn),所不同的是這是唯一關(guān)于詞或詞組的練習(xí)項(xiàng)目,詞匯題往往要求對(duì)文章中的某個(gè)單詞、短語(yǔ)甚至句子等找出近義詞或最合適的解釋。解答這類題需要學(xué)生擁有較大的詞匯量。可是,單詞記憶似乎已成為學(xué)生普遍反映最頭痛的難題。閱讀理解中詞匯類問(wèn)題的常見(jiàn)提問(wèn)方式有下列幾種:
According to the author ,the word means_______. Which of the following is nearest in meaning to ? The term in paragraph can be best replaced by Whats the meaning of in line of paragraph? As used in the line , the word refers to _______.
一般來(lái)說(shuō),在文章的閱讀中解決釋義的最佳辦法是猜測(cè)詞義。猜測(cè)詞義也需要一定的技巧,可以通過(guò)(1)上下文間意義的聯(lián)系;(2)同義關(guān)系,反義關(guān)系;(3)詞的定義;(4)對(duì)詞的解釋和舉例;(5)構(gòu)詞法知識(shí)猜測(cè)詞義
1. 利用上下文詞語(yǔ)意義的互相聯(lián)系猜測(cè)詞義
Example :
The fishermen make their canoes from tree trunks .They go from island to island in these light marrow boats and collect turtles’ eggs
我們從上下文中可以得出以下信息:"canoes"是一種漁夫用樹(shù)木做的`、來(lái)回于島嶼之間的、輕狹長(zhǎng)的、類似于小船之類的東西。盡管我們可能還不能肯定它的確切解釋,但這一生詞已經(jīng)不會(huì)影響我們的閱讀和理解了。
Example :
Jogging has become very popular in some countries ,It is believed to be a good exercise for old people .
"Jogging"的意思通過(guò)"a good exercise for old people "可以推斷出是一種適合老年人的劇烈的運(yùn)動(dòng)方式。
2. 利用文章中詞與詞的同義和反義關(guān)系猜測(cè)詞義
Example :
If you happened to be sitting in the woods outside the city ,you might have witnessed a strange sight . You would have seen a very proud looking man riding along horseback , saying something
在文章中可以很容易地判斷出"witnesss"的同義關(guān)系詞是"seen",因此"witness"就是看見(jiàn)的意思。
Example :
In the northern regions the winters are generally cold and humid ,and the summers hot and dry .
顯然,冬天和夏天的氣候是截然相反的,它們的修飾詞的意思也應(yīng)該截然相反。"cold"與"hot"對(duì)應(yīng),"humid"與"dry"對(duì)應(yīng)。因此,"humid"是"潮濕" 意思。
3. 利用文章中對(duì)詞的定義猜測(cè)詞義
Example:
Such experiences are not unusual for the amateur conchologists, people who collect shells.
Conchologists的意思可以根據(jù)該詞后面的同位解釋"people who collect shells"理解為收集貝殼的人或貝殼收藏家。
Example :
Jack is now a florist, who keeps a shop for selling flowers in our district.
"florist" 的意思就是其后定語(yǔ)從句"who keeps a shop for selling flowers 所描述的"擁有一家專門(mén)賣花的商店的人",即"花店主"
4. 利用文章中對(duì)詞的舉例及解釋猜 測(cè)詞義
Example :
Today young couples who are just starting their households of ten spend lots of their money on appliances ,for instance ,washing machines , refrigerators and color TVs.
通過(guò)所舉的例子(washing machines ,refrigerators and color TVs)
可以看出,"appliances" 應(yīng)是這些名詞的總稱,即"家用電器"。
Example :
Finally the enemy surrendered .They threw down their weapons and walked out of the home with their hands over their heads
通過(guò)后一句對(duì)"surrendered"的解釋:扔掉武器(throw down their weapons ),舉起雙手(with their hands over heads )可知其意是"投降"
5. 利用構(gòu)詞法知識(shí)(前綴和后綴)猜測(cè)詞義
Example :
They overestimate the interviewee’s ability and asked him many difficult questions
"estimate"是"估計(jì)"的意思,"over-"是前綴,意為"過(guò)分,過(guò)度,超 過(guò)"等,因此"overestimate"就是"高估"的意思 。
Example :
We were told that ours was the most spacious room in the hotel .That was why we had to pay so much for it .
"spacious"是由"space(名詞,空間)"+"+-ious(形容詞后綴 "變化而來(lái)的,因此,可猜測(cè)其詞義為"寬敞"。
各種各樣的前、后綴可以構(gòu)成名詞、形容詞、動(dòng)詞、副詞等,這些詞綴需要平時(shí)不斷地積累和記憶。掌握構(gòu)詞法知識(shí)是擴(kuò)大詞匯量和猜測(cè)生詞詞義的最佳辦法。
