雅思閱讀考試中,烤鴨們往往對那陌生的單詞,看不懂的文章望而卻步,內(nèi)心的擔憂不僅影響心情還拖慢了做題速度,要知道雅思閱讀一個小時的考試時間還是比較緊迫的,浪費不得。所以,烤鴨們心態(tài)一定要積極,詞不認識不要緊,我們可以“猜”,哦不,是推斷單詞含義。當然,“猜”也是有原則的,不能盲目。下面給大家聊聊一些猜詞技巧。
一、詞根詞綴猜詞
相信大家都有聽過詞根詞綴的概念,詞根詞綴猜詞法也是流傳已久,但沒有沒落,今天依舊深受吹捧,說明它還是經(jīng)得起推敲,值得借鑒的。當然,使用這個猜詞法之前要求烤鴨們考前先儲備一定量的詞根詞綴,這樣考試的時候才能順手拈來。下面我們來看C6T2P2的真題例子(配對題第24題):
Questions 23-26
Complete each sentence with the correct ending, A—H, below.
Write the correct letter, A—H, in boxes 23-26 on your answer sheet.
23 Home medical aids
24 Regular amounts of exercise
25 Feelings of control over life
26 Feelings of loneliness
A may cause heart disease.
B can be helped by hormone treatment.
C may cause rises in levels of stress hormones.
D have cost the United States government more than $200 billion.
E may help prevent mental decline.
F may get stronger at night.
G allow old people to be more independent.
H can reduce stress in difficult situations.
24題根據(jù)題干Regular amounts of exercise 找到文中的同義表達daily physical activity,定位到文章第九段:
Maintaining a level of daily physical activity may help mental functioning, says Carl Cotman, a neuroscientist at the University of California at Irvine. He found that rats that exercise on a treadmill have raised levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor coursing through their brains. Cotman believes this hormone, which keeps neurons functioning, may prevent the brains of active humans from deteriorating.
在精讀答案區(qū)的時候,最后一個詞deteriorating發(fā)現(xiàn)好多同學不認識,不過先別著急,回憶一下我們的前綴de-, 這不是表示否定的方向嗎?比如devalue,不就是“貶值”?所以deteriorating剛好跟E選項中decline方向一致,答案就是E。
二、利用同位語
閱讀中我們常會看到一個不認識的名詞后跟隨了一個逗號,逗號后是一個名詞短語,這個名詞短語就是這個名詞的同位語解釋。我們可以利用同位語去推測未知名詞的含義。我們來看下面C9T4P1的例子
題目:
Marie and Pierre Curie’s research into the radioactivity of the mineral known as 8……… led to the discovery of two new elements.
通過觀察題目,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)我們要填的單詞處在“a mineral known as ...”這個結(jié)構下,說明要填的單詞是一種礦物質(zhì)的名字。再利用題目中的two new elements定位到文章第五段。
原文:
Turning her attention to minerals, she found her interest drawn to pitchblende, a mineral whose radioactivity, superior to that of pure uranium, could be explained only by the presence in the ore of small quantities of an unknown substance of very high activity. Pierre Curie joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem, and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium.
我們在這里找到了題干中the radioactivity of the mineral的同義表達a mineral whose radioactivity,而這恰恰是前面名詞pitchblende的同位語,所以就算我們不認識pitchblende這個詞,也能確定答案就是它。
三、并列關系也可助一臂之力
閱讀中常見的并列關系詞有and, or等,并列關系前后連接的詞往往具有一定的一致性。因此,如果and或or連接的前后的詞我們有一個不認識,那么可以利用另一個來猜單詞。例如:
However, the major problems of the travel and tourism industry that have hidden, or obscured, its economic impact are the diversity and fragmentation of the industry itself.
這句話中,很多同學可能不認識obscure,但是一般都認識前面的hidden,并且發(fā)現(xiàn)這兩個單詞由or連接,所以可以推斷obscure的意思跟hidden是比較接近的。
最后,需要提醒大家的是,我們做閱讀題需要的是理解詞的大意,不要求非得準確說出它的具體意思,更是要切忌去尋找跟它意思一樣的中文單詞。我們只要能夠保證順利閱讀,繼續(xù)往下走就可以!
