6．By saying “We need them yesterday” (paragraph 7)，Stover means that snakelike robots . 二、詞義猜測主要的解題策略有：語境猜詞、語法猜詞和常識猜詞。 語境即上下文。由于上下文中的生詞不是孤立存在的，其詞義與句中其他詞的詞義或具體的語境有著密切的聯系。因此在閱讀過程中，許多生詞的詞義可以充分利用上下文中相關的詞匯和短語并結合具體的語境來推測。命題者為了考查學生的這種猜詞能力，常采用以下幾種命題策略： 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 策略1：依據標點符號猜測詞義 標點符號是詞義猜測的最直接，最簡單的解答方法。比如，破折號、冒號常常起解釋說明的功能，引號和括號有時也起到相同的作用。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 例1　Morning, noon, and night, her tongue was endlessly going, so that he was forced to escape to the outside of the house—the only side which, in truth, belongs to a henpecked husband. The underlined words “henpecked husband” in the last paragraph probably means a man who . A．likes hunting

　　B．is afraid of hens C．loves his wife

　　D．is afraid of his wife 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 【點睛】 D　破折號起進一步解釋說明的作用。由句前信息 “他為逃避妻子的嘮叨而逃到屋外”可知“他是一個怕老婆的人”，因此選擇D項。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 策略2：依據反義詞和對比關系猜測詞義 運用對比手法描述事物或現象是文章寫作的一種常用的修辭手法。在這種修辭手段下，作者常借用一些信號詞來提供相反信息，從而表明一個詞與前面的另一個詞互為反義。常用的信號詞有： but/yet/however/nevertheless; while/whereas; otherwise/or else; unlike/instead/ rather than; by contrast/compared to; on the contrary/ on the other hand 等。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 例2　The house looked quite normal outside, but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the word “exotic” in the passage? A．Messy and untidy.　 　 　 B．Rich and expensive. C．Comfortable and calming.

　　D．Foreign and unusual. 【點睛】 D　由but引導的前后句可知，exotic與quite normal(相當平常)在意義上是互為反義的，因此選擇D項foreign and unusual(異乎尋常)。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 策略3：依據下定義，作解釋猜測詞義 在說明文、科技文中運用下定義或解釋概念的方法來定義或詮釋某一名詞或概念是文章寫作的又一特點。在寫作方法上常采用先總后分(即先定義后解釋)或先分后總(即先說明后結論)的方式。常用的定義信號詞有：be defined as/be termed(被定義為)，be called(被稱為)，mean/refer to/be(意指，是)。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 例3　[2011·安徽卷] (節選) George Prochnik would like the world to put a sock in it. He makes his case in a new book，Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise. Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice)： “We've become so accustomed to noise，there's almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial. If you tell someone to be quiet，you sound like an old man. But it's never been more important to find continuing quiet. Silence focuses us，improves our health，and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.” 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 What does the phrase “to put a sock in it ”in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．To be quiet. B．To be colorful. C．To be full of love.

　　D．To be attentive to someone. 【點睛】 A　詞義猜測題。本題是根據結構上的“總—分”關系猜測詞義。文章首句先表明觀點，然后進一步清楚地分述自己的觀點——沒有噪音，我們會專注生活中各種美好的聲音。再結合上下文可以看出George Prochnik是反對噪音的，所以他應該是喜歡安靜的，故答案選A。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 策略4：依據邏輯推理猜測詞義 運用邏輯推理猜測詞義是使用最廣考查最多也是最易失分的猜詞方式。要求考生具備整合分散、復雜信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相關的詞匯并結合具體的語境，從形式和內容上把握語言之間的內在聯系，理順語言之間的邏輯關系，進而達到猜詞的目的。常見的邏輯關系有：因果關系、同位關系、對比關系，轉折關系等。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 例4 　[2011·四川卷] (節選) So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5：00 a．m.？What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety，increases self－confidence and energy，extends life and above all improves my body shape. What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean? A．Good health.

　　B．Firm belief.

　　C．A strong power.

　　D．A regular habit. 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 【點睛】 B　詞義猜測題。本題是根據解說關系猜測詞義。從文中“A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety，…above all improves my body shape.”可知，“減少焦慮、增強信心…改變體型”即不定式部分是修飾commitment的，結合文意可推斷出commitment意為“堅強的信念”，故選擇B項。本題容易受字面意思的影響而誤選C項。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 策略5：依據替代詞猜測詞義 使用替代詞 it, they, them, one(s), these, that 或 the other (two…)等指代上下文中詞匯或句義是猜測詞義的另一種形式。

　　閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 策略6：依據例證猜測詞義 采用事實說理(即例證)以加強觀點的說服力或使觀點更加明朗清楚是文章寫作的常用手法。借助例證獲取更多信息，即可實現猜詞的目的。常用的例證信號詞有： like/for example/for instance/such as; include/consist of 等。 此外，運用語法和常識以達到猜詞的目的也是詞義猜測策略的另一種表現形式。英語構詞法給英語語言創造了豐富的詞匯源泉，因此掌握構詞規律是達到猜詞目的的有效捷徑。這種猜詞的策略主要表現在： 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 (1)依據詞性變化猜測詞義 英語語言的詞性變化是非?；钴S的，如名詞動化、動詞名化、形容詞動化等，閱讀時要充分抓住這一特點，從而準確地猜測詞義。 (2)依據詞義變化(詞義引申)猜測詞義 英語語言除了詞性活躍的特點外，其詞義的變化也是非常活躍的。同一個詞在不同的語境中其詞義也會發生相應的變化，即所謂的詞義引申。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 (3)依據詞的派生和合成猜測詞義 派生法是英語構詞法中最主要的構詞方法，它由詞根、前綴或后綴組成。如：前綴dis－， im－， ir－， un－可以構成反義詞；后綴－less也以構成反義詞。遇到合成詞時在正確理解兩詞的基礎上結合原文來把握兩詞之間的關系，從而準確地猜測詞義。 閱讀寫作(二十一) │ 重視詞義猜測 【活學活用】 1．The ruler had been so cruel and dishonest that after the revolution she was banished.
