词义猜测能力是英语高考阅读理解能力的主要组成部分，是历年高考中的必考题型，主要考查对文中关键词语（实

词、短语、指代关系等）的理解。而且，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据语境来判断。

3. 猜词技巧

1.

Definition 定义法

一般通过定义、定语（从句）,同位语（从句）或由is，

or，

that is (to say), in other words，

be called，be known as, be defined as等词汇来表示来确定词义。通过标点符号来下定义

使用破折号，引号，冒号，分号后的内容和引号括号中的内容

2.

Contrast 对比法

利用文中的反义词以及表对比关系的词（组）猜测词义。

表示对比的词有but, while, however, instead of , rather than , unlike, yet, otherwise, though, on the contrary等。

3.

Similarity 相似法

利用同义词、近义词或词组猜测词义。

Cause and effect 因果法

从原因推测结果，从结果推测原因。

常用关联词(如because，as，since，for，so，thus，as a result，so, so … that, such … that，therefore等)表示前因后果。

5.

Example 例举法

利用文中的举例猜测词义。常见的举例的提示词有for instance,

for example, such as等

。

6.

Word Formation 构词法

在词根前或后加上前缀或后缀，可以用来引申或转变原词的意义。只要我们掌握了各种词根、词头和词尾的基本含义，那么就可以很容易猜测出由其构成的新词的含义了。
