四级阅读——词汇问题(下)_CET词汇

  关于词汇问题(vocabu1ary)  

  3.利用文章中对词的定义猜测词义

  example:

  such experiences are not unusual for the amateur conchologists, people who collect shells.conchologists的意思可以根据该词后面的同位解释"people who collect shells"理解为收集贝壳的人或贝壳收藏家。

  example :

  jack is now a florist, who keeps a shop for selling flowers in our district."florist"的意思就是其后定语从句"who keeps a shop for selling flowers所描述的"拥有一家专门卖花的商店的人",即"花店主"

  4.利用文章中对词的举例及解释猜 测词义

  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.通过所举的例子(washing machines ,refrigerators and color tvs)

  可以看出,"appliances"应是这些名词的总称,即"家用电器"。

  

  example :

  finally the enemy surrendered .they threw down their weapons and walked out of the home with their hands over their heads 通过后一句对"surrendered"的解释:扔掉武器(throw down their weapons),举起双手(with their hands over heads)可知其意是"投降"5.利用构词法知识(前缀和后缀)猜测词义example :

  they overestimate the interviewee's ability and asked him many difficult questions"estimate"是"估计"的意思,"over-"是前缀,意为"过分,过度,超 过"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(名词,空间)"+"+-ious(形容词后缀 "变化而来的,因此,可猜测其词义为"宽敞"。

  各种各样的前、后缀可以构成名词、形容词、动词、副词等,这些词缀需要平时不断地积累和记忆。掌握构词法知识是扩大词汇量和猜测生词词义的最佳办法。
