雅思阅读猜答案技巧

雅思阅读猜答案技巧。经常听学生说时间紧, 没太多时间记单词. 现在给大家推荐一些猜词技巧, 大家想想, 如果你们猜词技巧掌握好, 是不可以避免一些生单词, 少背些单词?

Test 2 Passage 1 判断题

The disastrous Hanshin earthquake in 1995 killed 6,400 people, toppled elevated highways, flattened office blocks and devastated the port area of Kobe. Yet it left the magnificent five-storey pagoda at the Toji temple in nearby Kyoto unscathed, though it levelled a number of buildings in the neighbourhood.

Q 2 The Hanshin earthquake of 1995 destroyed the pagoda at the Toji temple.

1995年Hanshin 地震破坏了Toji 庙宇里的塔.

〖解析〗

如果烤鸭们能读懂题干, 但原文定位句没读懂, 请大家参考以下3种做法:

第一种做法

如果大家知道单词 scathe是破坏的意思, 那么unscathed 就是没有被破坏的意思, 所以此题与题干1995年Hanshin 地震破坏了Toji 庙宇里的塔是矛盾的, 所以该题答案NO.

第二种做法

如果大家知道, though it levelled a number of buildings inthe neighbourhood. 这里level当动词表示夷为平地的意思, 那么though 前面的句子和后面的句子的意思是相反的, 我们就能知道Yet it left the magnificent five-storey pagoda at the Toji temple in nearby Kyoto unscathed, 是没破坏的意思, 所以此题答案为NO.

第三种做法

如果Yet it left the magnificent five-storey pagoda at the Toji temple in nearby Kyoto unscathed, though it levelled a number of buildings in the neighbourhood. 没读懂, 请大家读The disastrous Hanshin earthquake in 1995 killed 6,400 people, toppled elevated highways, flattened office blocks and devastated the port area of Kobe. 即使我们有很多单词不认识, 但只要我们认识killed, 并且知道killed….topped…..,flattened…..and devastated 是并列机构, 那么我们就能知道这句话是The disastrous Hanshin earthquake in 1995破坏了………,那么后句有个Yet表示转折, 我们就能知道Yet it left the magnificent five-storey pagoda at the Toji temple in nearby Kyoto unscathed, 是没破坏的意思, 所以此题答案为NO.

雅思阅读猜答案技巧二

根据定义猜测词义

一些词在阅读文章中属于专业词汇类,虽然它不会在题目的判断中成为核心考点,但如果出现在题目中还是会令同学们担忧,影响发挥的。此时若能借助文中的释义做合理推断,就会在判断中起到积极正面的影响。如下面的原文:

Last week scientists from the University of Manchester revealed that loud music stimulates a part of the inner ear called the sacculus, which is connected to the hypothalamus, the brain’s ‘pleasure centre’.

虽然初看到sacculus 不明白其意义,但通过解释至少知道是“内耳的一个部分(小球囊)”,对于解题已经清除了障碍。

如果生词是句子或段落所解释的定义,理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。例如: anthropology is the scientific study of man. 由定义可知,anthropology就是“研究人类的科学”。

In slang the term "jam" constitutes a state of being in which a person finds himself or herself in a difficult situation.

同样,从上下文的定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是“困境”。 定义句的谓语动词多为:be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, refer to, be called, be known as, define, represent, signify, constitute等。

2根据复述猜测词义

虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细,但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。复述部分可以是词、短语或是从句。

同位语 Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently.

此例逗号中短语意为“对词意义进行研究的学科”。该短语与前面生词semantics是同位关系,因此我们不难猜出semantics指“语义学”。

雅思阅读猜答案技巧三

一、内在逻辑关系

根据内在逻辑关系推测词义是指运用语言知识分析和判断相关信息之间存在的逻辑关系,然后根据逻辑关系推断生词词义或大致义域,小编认为这一方面是关键所在。

1.根据对比关系猜测词义

在一个句子或段落中,有对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述,我们可以根据生词或难词的反义词猜测其词义。

例如:

Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I know. His brother, in contrast,is quite humble and modest.

该例中supercilious对许多人来说可能是个生词,但是句中短语in contrast,(相对照的,相对比的)可以提示我们supercilious和后面词组humble and modest(谦卑又谦虚)是对比关系。分析出这种关系后,我们便能猜出supercilious意为"目空一切的,傲慢的"。

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引导的并列句等。

A good supervisor can recognize instantly the adept workers from the unskilled ones.

该句中并未出现上面提到的表示对比关系的词或短语,但是通过上下文可以判断出句子前后是对比关系,即把熟练工人与非熟练工人区分开。这时我们也能够推断出生词adept的词义,"熟练的"。

2.根据比较关系猜测词义

同对比关系相反,比较关系表示意义上的相似关系,例如:

Green loves to talk,and his brothers are similarly loquacious.该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk与生词loquacious之间的比较关系。以此可以推断出loquacious词义为"健谈的"。

表示比较关系的词和短语主要是similarly,like,just as,also等。

3.根据因果关系猜测词义

在句子或段落种,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。

例如:

Tom is considered an autocratic administrator because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others.

根据原因状语从句的内容,我们可以推断出生词autocratic指"独断专行的"。

There were so many demonstrators in the Red Square that he had to elbow hisway through the crowd.

此句为结果状语从句,根据从句的描书"许多示威者",我们便可推知elbow的词意"挤,挤过"。

4.根据同义词的替代关系猜测词义

在句子或段落种,我们可以利用熟悉的词语,根据语言环境推断生词词义。

例如:

Although he often had the opportunity, Mr. Tritt was never able to steal money from a customer. This would have endangered his position at the bank,and he did not want to jeopardize his future.

作者为避免重复使用endanger一词,用其同义词jeopardize来替代它,由此推知其词义为"使。陷入危险,危及、危害"。

Doctors believe that smoking cigarettes is detrimental to your health. Theyalso regard drinking as harmful.

句中detrimental四个生词,但判断出harmful替代detrimental后,不难推断出其词义为"不利的,有害的"。

二、针对性解释

针对性解释是作者为了更好的表达思想,在文章中对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或词汇等所作的解释。这些解释提供的信息具有明确的针对性,利用它们猜词义比较容易,道正认为这一方面是关键所在。

1.根据定义猜测词义如果生词是句子或段落所解释的定义,理解句子或段落本身就是推断词义。

例如:

anthropology is the scientific study of man. 由定义可知,anthropology就是"研究人类的科学"。

In slang the term "jam" constitutes a state of being in which a personfinds himself or herself in a difficult situation. 同样,从上下文的定义可知jam一词在俚语中的意思是"困境"。

定义句的谓语动词多为:be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, refer to,be called, be known as, define, represent, signify, constitute等。

2.根据复述猜测词义

虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细,但是提供的信息足以使阅读者猜出生词词义。复述部分可以适当词、短语或是从句。

同位语Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are tospeak and read intelligently.

此例逗号中短语意为"对词意义进行研究的学科"。该短语与前面生词semanties式同位关系,因此我们不难猜出semanties指"语义学"。

在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号,冒号,分号,引号,和括号等。

Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits.

由同位语我们很快猜出生词capacitance词义---电容量。需要注意的是:同位语前还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other,say i. e.等副词或短语出现。

定语从句Krabacber suffers from SAD, which is short for seasonal affective disorder,a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings.

根据生词SAD后面定语从句which is short for seasonal affective disorder和同位语a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings,我们可以推断出SAD含义,即"季节性情绪紊乱症"。

根据举例猜测词义恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索,例如:

The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were inthe past.

句中"战争"和"重大科学发现"是生词的实例,通过它们我们可以猜出epochal的大致词义"重要的",这与其确切含义"划时代的"十分接近。

三、外部相关因素

外部相关因素是指篇章(句子或段落)以外的其他知识。有时仅靠分析篇章内在逻辑关系无法猜出词义。这时,就需要运用生活经验和普通常识确定词义。例如:

Husband:it‘s really cold out tonight.Wife: Sure it is. My hands are practically numb.How about lighting the furnace?

根据生活经验,天气寒冷时,手肯定是"冻僵的,冻得麻木的"。

The snake slithered through the grass.

根据有关蛇的生活习性的知识,我们可以推断出slither词义为"爬行"。

在猜测词义过程中,除了使用上面提到的一些技巧,我们还可以依靠构词方面的知识,从生词本身猜测词义。

1.根据前缀猜测词义例如:

He fell into a ditch and lay there, semiconscious, for a few minutes.根据词根conscious(清醒的,有意识的),结合前缀semi(半,部分的,不完全的),我们便可猜出semiconscious词义"半清醒的,半昏迷的"。

I‘m illiterate about such things.词根literate意为"有文化修养的,通晓的",前缀il表示否定,因此illiterate指"一窍不通,不知道的"。

2.根据后缀猜测词义例如:

Insecticide is applied where it is needed.后缀cide表示"杀者,杀灭剂",结合大家熟悉的词根insect(昆虫),不难猜出insecticide意为"杀虫剂"。

Then the vapor may change into droplets.后缀let表示"小的",词根drop指"滴,滴状物"。将两个意思结合起来,便可推断出droplet词义"小滴,微滴"。

3.根据复合词的各部分猜测词义例如:

Growing economic problems were highlighted by a slowdown in oil output.Hightlight或许是一个生词,但是分析该词结构后,就能推测出其含义。它是由high(高的,强的)和light(光线)两部分组成,合在一起便是"以强光照射,使突出"的意思。

Bullfight is very popular in Spain.Bull(公牛)和fight(打,搏斗)结合在一起,指一种在西班牙颇为流行的体育运动---斗牛。

利用各种已知信息推测、判断词义是一项重要的阅读技巧。在实践中,综合运用上面提到的几种猜测技巧,排除生词的障碍,理解文章内容的同时提高阅读速度。

雅思阅读猜答案技巧四

雅思阅读猜词技巧:

1.定义猜词。即在该词后面有用冒号或者破折号,进行进一步解释说明的。比如......this is rather like placing atextbook on a wet sponge: the weight squeezes thewater out, causing both water and sponge to settlelower. 通过冒号后的解释sponge的意思就更为清楚了。

2.词根词缀法猜词。(关于词根词缀我会下面的博文中详细讲)

比如pre-表示前,领先的意思,那么prewar就是战前的意思。。。掌握一些常用的词根词缀对于扩大词汇量很有用处。

3.根据context,即上下文的意思来猜。

4.根据common sense猜,当然,同学要记住,不能用common sense 来做T/F/NG的题,这是雅思阅读的大忌。

5.还有,有的词如果不影响你的阅读,那么就不要去管他什么意思了。做雅思阅读,Time is limited.一定要好好控制自己的时间。关于时间分配我也会在下面的博文中详细讲。

People in Americas before Last Ice Age?

A site in northeastern Brazil has yielded evidence of the earliest known human occupationin the Americas, approximately 32,000 years ago, according to a report by two Frenchscientists.

Although the discovery, reported in June 19 NATURE, does not resolve long-standingarchaeological disputes over when and how people first arrived in the New World, the site ismuch older than others where human occupation has been firmly established. Several suchfinds in the southwestern United States date to 11,500 years ago, and a rock shelter nearPittsburgh is thought to contain evidence of use by human 19,000 years ago; previously,the earliest known site occupied by humans in South America was 14,200 years old.
