高中英语阅读理解-巧解词义猜测题考查“不明身份”的代词指代
代词指代题要求考生依据语境的逻辑关系，判断画线的人称代词或指示代词在文章中指代的对象，包括考查it(指动物、无生命的事物、特定的事件或人)，they/them(指代人、物、事件的复数名词)，he/she等人称代词的指代意义，以及指示代词this，that，these，those等在文章中的指代意义，以考查考生对文章中叙述的特定的人、物、事件的再认能力。
解答代词指代题时，我们要认真阅读画线词所在句和前后邻近句的内容，分析人称转换和动作变换的详细过程，理清其来龙去脉和前后的因果关系，从而准确推断其指代的对象。
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations —UNESCO and National Geographic among them —have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that__tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakersand Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
33．What does “that tradition”in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Having full records of the languages.
B. Writing books on language teaching.
C. Telling stories about language users.
D. Living with the native speakers.
【分析】 A 根据画线词上一段的内容可知，有很多学者一直致力于对快要绝迹的语言和文化的记录工作。再结合画线词所在句可知，耶鲁大学的Mark Turin 也在做这件事，即记录语言，防止语言的消失。
考查“熟词生义”的单词词义
英语单词的含义丰富、搭配灵活，一些熟词在不同的语境或不同的搭配中有不同的含义，而这些含义与其本义有时没有密切的联系，这就需要我们结合语境来推断其含义；有时这些单词的新义既体现了其基本含义，又有迁移与拓展。在解答此类词义猜测题时就要求我们将单词的本义和语境有机地结合起来，综合考虑，然后准确推断其在特定语境中的含义。
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers...At last they had seen a half－
written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.
23．What does the underlined word “restored”in the last paragraph mean?
A. Showed.
B. Sent out.
C. Delivered.
D. Gave back.
【分析】 D restore的含义是“恢复，使复原，修复”，但在本文的语境中，根据上文中的“found”、画线词后面的内容及故事情节的发展可知，此处指作者的丈夫找回了丢失的重要文件，因此give back“归还，还给”，符合语境。
考查“深奥难懂”的单词词义
这种类型是最常见的词义猜测题的命题方式，考查考生猜测文章中某个生词或短语的含义，或考查该词能被哪个单词或短语代替。此时我们可以借助下面这些方法来答题：
1．“拆猜”并用解决问题
阅读中常常会遇到一些由熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词。此时可以用“拆猜”的方式，先把该词的各种词缀或前后两个合成部分拆开，再结合我们掌握的构词法知识，根据中心词的含义和词缀的含义猜测其意思。
Passenger pigeons (旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers...described flocks (群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.
It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons...making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world... was seen near Cincinnati.
Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. 25．The underlined word “undoing”probably refers to the pigeons'______．
A. escape
B. ruin
C. liberation
D. evolution
【分析】 B 画线词undoing可分解为否定前缀un－和doing。画线词前面叙述了旅鸽数量很多，画线词后提到大量的旅鸽被杀害，结合否定前缀un－和选项看，该词的含义与ruin“毁灭”相近。
2．利用同义词、近义词猜词
在单词所出现的上下文中，有时会出现与之同义或近义的词语或结构，这时考生可从熟悉的词语中推测其含义。
3．利用反义词猜词
对比是描述、说明事物的常用方式。在对比中，对比的事物有可能是相反的，因此可以根据反义关系推测其含义。
4．利用上下文语境猜词
考生可以利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义。
5．利用定义或解释猜词
释义是对单词以定语(从句)、表语甚至用逗号、破折号等标点符号引出并加以解释说明的方式。有些文章，特别是科研报告类的文章，通常会给一些关键词下定义，考生可以利用定义来猜测这些词的意思。
6．利用例证猜词
为了进行说明或证实，文章中经常会举例，用来列举说明前面较难理解的词，这些例子可帮助考生猜测单词词义。举例时，常常会用一些表列举的词，如：such as, like, for example, for instance等。
7．利用复述或同等关系猜词
为了强调某个观点或把某事叙述得更明白，作者有时会运用不同语句来复述同一概念，这时考生可以利用这些重复叙述的语句和表达形式的变化来猜测词义。虽然复述不如定义那样严谨、详细，但是提供的信息足以使考生猜出单词词义。只要我们找出其中一个或几个词或短语，便可确定同等关系中单词的词性、作用和大概的意思。
8．利用词义搭配、关联猜词
任何一个单词在句子中总是与其他词相关联的，考生可以通过这些前后的关联来猜测单词的词义。
9．利用语义转折猜词
有时作者为了增强表达效果，在文章中会用一些表示转折意思的连词、副词或短语，如：though, although, but, yet, instead, however, while, rather than 等，考生可以根据转折的语境猜测词义。
考查句意理解
考查句意理解的试题一般因为句式复杂、意义含蓄而出现在长难句中。对于这种试题，考生应该认真阅读原文，特别是画线句子的上下文，准确理解作者的观点，尤其是对特定的人、物、事件的褒贬观点，以准确推断语句的含义。
Sampal's story began in 2011, when she was accidentally caught by fishermen in the waters off South Korea. However, instead of letting her
go, the men sold her to an aquarium. Here, she was placed in a small pool where she spent her days performing tricks for visitors.
Sampal_was_not destined_to_spend_her_life_in_captivity. Shocked by the conditions she was living in, South Korean animal advocates began to help her get free.
32．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Sampal didn't like spending her life in a pool.
B. Sampal would have to lose her freedom.
C. Sampal's life was brought back to normal.
D. Sampal would certainly be helped by people.
【分析】 D 前面谈到Sampal被捕捉之后的命运，画线句子后说到韩国动物保护者开始展开营救工作，因此选D项，她肯定会得到人们的帮助。
最后提醒考生，掌握了一定的单词猜测技巧后，也不要去“死抠”个别词，除了人名、地名等一些专有名词不必去细究之外，那些一时难以断定其意思却又不妨碍理解或答题的单词，大可不必理会。

词义猜测题解题技巧
高考阅读理解词义猜测题解题技巧 猜词悟义是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考阅读理解中必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。考生应学会通过构词、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、同义、反义及上下文线索等确定词义。 一、题型特点与命题方式 此类题型有逐渐增加的趋势，尤其是猜测词组、句义题。因为猜测词组、句义题涉及题材背景、句子结够、文章主旨、作者的观点态度等。联系主旨、整合上下文信息是解答这类题的关键。近几年阅读理解的生词率略有上升，加大了猜测力度。命题者着重考查考生利用同义或反义关系、构词法、语法和语篇文脉等理解生词的能力。 【命题趋势】 1、要求根据阅读材料所提供的信息，结合中学生应有的常识和经验，正确判断生词词组的含义或成熟词在特定语境中表达的具体含义以及一些句子的意思。 2、要求猜测词义的词一般为实词及其词组，通过构词、定义、对比、因果、联想、上下文等线索确定词义的具体内容。 3、代词复指理解题也是猜测词义的常考类型。用―逻辑关系梳理法‖、―递向寻踪法‖理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系是关键所在。 【设问形式】 The underlined word ―…‖ in the second(third…) paragraph refers to(means) ______. By saying ―…‖ in the first(second…) paragraph, the author means that ______. In paragraph …, ―…‖ can be replaced by ―______‖. The meaning of ―…‖ in paragraph… is related to ______. Which of the follow ing has the closest meaning to…(paragraph…)? The underlined sentence in the … paragraph probably means that _____. 二、解题思路与应试技巧 做这种类型的题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境主观臆断。 下面结合近几年高考试题，对猜词悟义的技巧加以解读。 1、根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测 有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如： Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. 句子给予annealing 以明确的定义，即―退火‖。 It will be very hard but also very brittle — that is, it will break easily. 从后面that is(也就是说)的解释中我们可以了解到brittle是―脆‖的意思。 The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year. 定语从句中looks after sheep 就表明了herdsman的词义为―牧羊人‖。 【考例】 （2014福建卷，E篇）73. The underlined words ―tipping points‖ most probably refer to ―_______‖.

If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the "wrong” clothes. Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule-- wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down. In Paragraph 1, the word "benefits" probably means________.

如何猜测阅读理解题中的生词词义 词汇是阅读理解的基础的基础。我们必须掌握教材中所学所有的单词和词组；了解构词法知识，如熟记一些常见的前缀、后缀，以及词语的合成和转化等；并且要进行大量的课外阅读扩大自己的词汇量。尽管如此，在阅读中还是不可避免会遇到生词或者熟词生义，因此，我们必须学会如何猜测词义。任何一个词语，在一定的上下文中只能表示一个确定的词义。据此，我们可以尽可能地利用上下文来猜测词义，即从已知推求未知，也就是用我们所熟悉的词或短语来猜测我们不熟悉的词的词义。猜测词义时，我们可以从以下几个方面来考虑： 一、根据定义或解释猜测词义 A person who is skilled at making or repairing wooden objects is called a carpenter. What does the word “carpenter” mean in Chinese? A.诗人 B.木匠 C.厨师 D.伐木工人 通过理解定语从句的意思，能猜出carpenter是B“木匠” A bag is useful and the word “bag” is usef ul. It gives us some interesting phrases(短语). One is “ to let the cat out of the bag”. It is the same as “to tell a secret”…. Now when someone lets out (泄漏) a secret, he “lets the cat out of the bag.” John “lets the cat out of the bag” means he ______. A. makes everyone know a secret B. the woman bout a cat C. buys a cat in the bag D. sells the cat in the bag 在这篇文章里，“let the cat out of the bag”虽然是一个新出现的短语，但紧接着后面就给出解释It is the same as “to tell a secret”根据这一解释，我们就可判断出正确答案应为A。 二、根据情景和逻辑进行判断 As they go around town, the police help people. Sometimes they find lost children. They take the children home. If the police see a fight, they put an end to it right away. Sometimes people will ask the police how to get to a place in town. The police can always tell the people which way to go. They know all the streets and roads well. In the text, “put an end to” means “______”. A. Stop B. Cut C. Kill D. fly 根据文章所提供的情景，如果警察看到有人在打架，他们肯定会去制止。因为制止打架斗殴是警察的职责。根据这一推理，答案应该是A。 三、根据并列或同位或对比关系猜测词义 There is a place on our earth where hot water and steam come up under the ground. It is on a large island in the Pacific Ocean. The island is North Island in New Zealand. What does the word “steam” mean in Chinese? A.自来水 B.大气 C.冰川 D.蒸汽 从语法上看，steam和hot water是并列关系，我们就以断定这两种东西是相关的，是同一类物质。在所给第四个选项中只有“蒸汽”有这种可能。 Though Tom’s face has been washed quite clean, his neck still remains grubby. What does the word “grubby” mean in Chinese? A.干净的 B.白皙的 C.肮脏的 D.整齐的 和clean意思相对的是“肮脏的”，因此可猜出句中grubby的意思是“肮脏的”
