回答六级阅读理解词汇问题(2)
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 often 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www.cet6w.com,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。转贴于 考试大 http://www.examda.com
