做閱讀理解，最怕遇到生詞，不僅影響文章的理解，也會(huì)拖慢閱讀速度，而在閱讀理解當(dāng)中，生詞又是不可避免的，眼看期中考試臨近，今天小編就為大家總結(jié)了幾個(gè)巧猜詞義的方法，希望能夠在考試中幫大家取得好成績(jī)，一定要掌握。
猜單詞詞義的7個(gè)小技巧1、類屬法
即通過類屬來推測(cè)詞義。如：
Bananas,oranges, pineapples, coconuts and some other kinds of fruit grow in warm areas.
說明：從句意我們知道pineapples 和coconuts 與bananas, oranges是同類事物，同屬水果(準(zhǔn)確地說是“菠蘿”和“椰子”)。
2、推理法
即根據(jù)文章的前后語境推出生詞的詞義。如：
That museum is so immense that it will be impossible to see all the exhibits in one day.
說明：既然一天之內(nèi)看不完所有的展品，那么immense 的意思應(yīng)該是“很大”了。
Everyone agreed that the woman in the photo was gorgeous. It was easy to see why she had won the beauty contest.
說明：既然“她在選美比賽中獲勝”，說明她“很美麗”(gorgeous)。
3、列舉法
即通過對(duì)文章所列舉的事物來猜測(cè)生詞的詞義。如：
Children like such creatures as dogs and monkeys.
說明：像 dogs 和 monkeys 之類的“creatures”，顯然creatures的意思應(yīng)是“動(dòng)物”。
In your spare time, you may look through any of these periodicals: Time Magazine, News Week, or The New Worker.
說明：periodical是生詞，但根據(jù)其后所列舉的例子，我們可以推測(cè)出它的意思可能是“期刊”或“雜志”。
4、構(gòu)詞法
即根據(jù)前綴、后綴、復(fù)合、派生等構(gòu)詞知識(shí)判斷生詞的詞義。如：
Overwork may cause diseases.
說明：前綴 over- 的意思是“過分的，過量的”，故 overwork的意思應(yīng)為“工作過度”。
There was a dissatisfied look in the manager’s eyes.
說明：satisfied的意思是“滿意的”，前綴 dis- 的意思是“不”，故dissatisfied 的意思應(yīng)該是“不滿意的”。
5、對(duì)比法
即根據(jù)文章前后的對(duì)比關(guān)系確定生詞的詞義。如：
He had been getting better, but during the night his condition deteriorated .
說明：句中的 but 表明deteriorate 應(yīng)該與get better 的意思相反，即“惡化”。
In many countries there are two financial extremes, from penury to great wealth.
說明：上文說兩個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)上的極端，那么下文中penury 應(yīng)與great wealth 相對(duì)，即表示“貧困”。
Mrs.Smith is loquacious while her husband is the silent type.
說明：while 表對(duì)比，意為“而”，所以loquacious 應(yīng)是silent 的反義，即“多嘴的”。
■If you agree, draw a circle; and a cross if you dissent.
說明：既然畫圈表示同意，那么畫叉便是“不同意”(dissent)。
6、同位法
同位語是對(duì)所修飾詞語的進(jìn)一步說明和解釋，若對(duì)所修飾的詞語不熟悉，可通過其后同位語的“說明或解釋”來確定其詞義。如：
His father is an expert in phonetics, the study of the sounds of language.
說明：同位語 the study of the sounds of language 表示 phonetics 的意思應(yīng)該是“語音學(xué)”。
Jean was born with spina bifida, a birth illness that damages the spine(脊骨).
說明：同位語 a birth illness that damages the spine 表明了spina bifida 是一種病，一種對(duì)脊骨有損害的病。
7、釋義法
即根據(jù)文章中所提供的釋義關(guān)系來確定生詞的詞義。如：
They described him as a loon, or a mad man.
說明：句中的or 是對(duì)loon的解釋，即loon與a mad man同義，即表示“瘋子”。
It will be very hard but also very brittle, that is, it will break easily.
說明：句中的 that is 表明 it will break easily 是對(duì)brittle 的解釋，從而猜測(cè)出其意為“脆”。
The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 500 yuan a year.
說明：定語從句 who looks after sheep 表明herdsman 的詞義為“牧人”。
There are three kinds of snow. One kind is a fluffy snow that is somewhat dry andfeathery?
說明：定語從句 that is somewhat dry and feathery(有點(diǎn)兒干、像羽毛似的)表明 fluffy snow 的意思可能是“鵝毛大雪”。
8、常識(shí)法
即根據(jù)普通常識(shí)推測(cè)生詞的詞義。如：
It’s said that Bill Gates is the most affluent person in the world.
說明：根據(jù)常識(shí)，Bill Gates 為世界首富，所以affluent 可能是“富有的”。
As a scientist, Edison is very famous for his contrivances.
說明：根據(jù)常識(shí)，Edison為發(fā)明大王，他應(yīng)因“發(fā)明”而聞名于世。
