在托福阅读中我们难免会遇到不认识的单词,如果一碰到生词就直接查词典,不仅会影响到正常做题进度,也会形成依赖不利于正式考试时发挥。下面小编就和大家分享托福阅读合理猜词的小技巧,来欣赏一下吧。
托福阅读合理猜词的小技巧
一、利用上下文线索猜测词义
1、根据同义、反义关系猜词
Today' s teenagers seem to be more liberal in their ideas than their _______grandparents.
A. freethinking B. traditional C. old D. happy traditional与liberal意思相反,故选B.
2、根据句意或段落文章的上、下文猜测词义
Klebold and Harris felt _______ and wanted to revenge against those who disliked playing together with them or laughed at them.
A. discouraged B. ashamed C. tired D. separated
根据下文的disliked playing together with them判断此处应为“感到孤立”,故选D.
二、利用构词法猜测词义
1、用前、后缀猜测词义英语中的前缀、后缀构词颇多,且特定的缀往往表示特定的含义,把握住这一点,可起到以不变应万变的效果。
1)He had been overworking and fell ill at last. overwork是由前缀over-加动词构成,over有“超过、过于”之意,overwork意思是“工作过多,劳累过度”。再如,overburden负担过重,overcharge要价过高,overdo做得过分。
英语中常用的前缀还有:
mis-错,误:misfortune不幸;mislead误导;mismanage处理不当,
mid-中央:midnight半夜;midway半路
under-低于:underdone半生不熟的;underestimate低估
anti-反对:antibody抗体;anticyclone反气旋;antifreeze防冻剂
2、利用合成词猜测词义。
Family members take turns choosing a special activity for the evening, and everyonepartakes in for fun.根据短语构成及上下文意思看,此处partakes in相当于takes part in.再如break out-outbreak(名词爆发),set out-outset(名词起始),come in-income(名词收入)
