中考英语词义猜测题解题技巧

词义猜测题是指在阅读过程中根据对语篇的信息、逻辑、背景知识及语言结构等的综合理解 去猜测或推断某一生词、难词、关键词的意义。其常见的提问方式有： 1. The word “…” means ___ in Chinese. 2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to ____? 3. The word “…” could best be replaced by ______. 4. In Para2, the underlined word/ sentence “…” means/ refers to _____. 解答这类题目的常见技巧： 1. 通过语境猜测词义。通过文章主题和上下文的逻辑关系，来推测出生词或句子的含义。 要求词不离句，句不离篇。从对两种事物或现象进行对比的描述中，推断出词义来。 2. 根据定义猜测词义。定义的形式通常有：用一个句子或段落给生词定义，使用破折号、 冒号后面的内容或引号、括号中的内容对生词加以解释或定义。 3. 通过经验及生活常识猜测词义。在阅读文章的基础上利用自己对日常生活的理解和判断 来完成对单词的猜测。 例如： The famous fat and lazy cat Garfield is coming to China. In the “Garfield The Movie”, Garfield acts with real actors. He will make you laugh with clever and funny words. Sometimes he’s not friendly to his ower John Arbuckle. One day, John brings Odie, a dog, into his home. Odie is cute. He gets all John’s love. This turns Garfield’s world upside down. Garfield wants the dog out of the house and his life. One night, he kicks Odie out of the house. But later Garfield finds a TV star caught Odie! The man wants to use the dog in his shows. Garfield feels sorry for Odie. He thinks he’s wrong. He wants to make up for it. So Garfield gets off his favorite chair to try to save his friend. What does “make up” mean in this passage? A. 看笑话 B. 弥补 C. 哭泣 D. 询问 答案是 B。这是通过整篇语境来猜测词 义。由题意可知：Garfield 对 Odie 的到来感到很讨厌，于是在一个晚上 Garfield 把 Odie 踢 出了房间，可后来 Garfield 认识到了自己的错误，由“Garfield feels sorry for Odie. He thinks he’s wrong.”可以看出。由最后一句话中的“try to save his friend”可以看出：他这样做的 目的是为了弥补自己的错误。所以本题应该选 B。
