雅思托福考試是國際性英語標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化水平測試之一,參加考試和報(bào)班學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)子眾多,那么做雅思閱讀時(shí)遇到生詞怎么辦?下面是由小編為大家整理的相關(guān)信息,僅供參考,歡迎大家閱讀本文。
1.利用詞根詞綴
相信很多同學(xué)是了解這個(gè)方法的,因?yàn)椤霸~根詞綴記憶單詞”這個(gè)東東已經(jīng)被人們鼓吹了很多年了,從老師還是個(gè)稚嫩少年的時(shí)候就已經(jīng)聽說過這個(gè)方法了(那個(gè)時(shí)候菊花還只是一種花)。實(shí)際上,詞根詞綴法是一個(gè)很好地在閱讀中猜詞的方法。同學(xué)們在備考閱讀的時(shí)候需要掌握一些常見的詞綴用以猜詞意或判斷方向性。我們來看下面的例子(第24題):
題目:
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 theUnited Statesgovernment 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.
原文:
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.
分析:
利用題干中的信息(regular amounts of exercise)定位到原文(daily physical activity),進(jìn)而對(duì)該段文字進(jìn)行閱讀,發(fā)現(xiàn)最后的deteriorate不認(rèn)識(shí),但是以de-前綴開頭,一般都是否定的方向,那么與第五個(gè)選項(xiàng)中的decline方向一致,可以確定E為正確答案。
2. 利用并列關(guān)系
閱讀中常見的并列關(guān)系詞有and, or等,并列關(guān)系前后連接的詞往往具有一定的一致性。我們這里拿or來舉個(gè)例子,or前后的詞常常含義是近似的。因此,如果or連接的前后的詞我們有一個(gè)不認(rèn)識(shí),那么可以利用另一個(gè)來猜單詞。我們來看下面的例子:
例句:
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.
分析:
本句話中,很多同學(xué)是不認(rèn)識(shí)obscure的,但是我們一般都認(rèn)識(shí)前面的hidden,并且發(fā)現(xiàn)這兩個(gè)單詞由or連接,所以可以推斷obscure的意思跟hidden是比較接近的。
楊帆老師有話說:
閱讀考察的是單詞的模糊理解而非具體含義,所以很多單詞我們了解大概意思、保證閱讀可以順利進(jìn)行下去即可,不用弄明白確切意思。
3.利用同位語
閱讀中我們常會(huì)看到一個(gè)不認(rèn)識(shí)的名詞后跟隨了一個(gè)逗號(hào),逗號(hào)后是一個(gè)名詞短語,這個(gè)名次短語就是這個(gè)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.
【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.
【分析】
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(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)下,說明要填的單詞是一種礦物質(zhì)的名字。那么利用題目中的two new elements定位到原文中,再利用代詞往前查找,會(huì)找到pitchblende這個(gè)詞,后面就跟隨了我們說的同位語,那么可以確定這就是要我們找的答案。
