GRE阅读：“第六感”猜词法
<p> 阅读的目的在于获得整个句子、整个段落、乃至整个篇章的思想，而不是各个孤立的词汇的意义。新托福口语考试中的阅读，考查的是考生对段落中心思想整体把握的能力，只要能获得阅读材料的主要信息，并随后能用自己的话加以陈述，一两个生词不会有什么大碍。</p><p> 不可否认，巨大的词汇量是高质量的阅读和高质量的口语的基础。但当遇到生词时总又不现实，那么我们不妨利用上下文来推测，看看我们有多大的猜词本领。强大的猜词本领无疑会有助于阅读速度和阅读能力的提高。</p><p> 1.根据定义、解释猜测词义</p><p> <span word="We">We</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="know">know</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="ants">ants</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="ferocious">ferocious</span> <span word="eaters">eaters</span>. <span word="They">They</span> <span word="differ">differ</span> <span word="widely">widely</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="diets">diets</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="may">may</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="carnivorous">carnivorous</span>, <span word="herbivorous">herbivorous</span>, <span word="or">or</span> <span word="omnivorous">omnivorous</span>,<span word="meaning">meaning</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="meat">meat</span>; <span word="others">others</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="plants">plants</span> <span word="while">while</span> <span word="others">others</span> <span word="eat">eat</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="combination">combination</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="both">both</span>.</p><p> 由后面的解释我们可以得知：<span word="carnivorous">carnivorous</span>的意思是食肉的<span word="herbivorous">herbivorous</span>的意思是食草的<span word="omnivorous">omnivorous</span>的意思是杂食的。</p><p> 2.根据复述</p><p> <span word="Today">Today</span>, <span word="Id">Id</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="talk">talk</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="changes">changes</span> <span word="land">land</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="undergo">undergo</span>, <span word="specifically">specifically</span> <span word="desertification">desertification</span>, <span word="process">process</span> <span word="through">through</span> <span word="which">which</span> <span word="land">land</span> <span word="becomes">becomes</span> <span word="part">part</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="desert">desert</span>.</p><p> 后面的同位语告诉我们<span word="desertification">desertification</span>的意思是沙漠化。<span word="Since">Since</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="fossil">fossil</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Anchaeopteryx">Anchaeopteryx</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="first">first</span> <span word="bird">bird</span>, <span word="was">was</span> <span word="discovered">discovered</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Germany">Germany</span> <span word="in">in</span> 1861, <span word="there">there</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="continuous">continuous</span> <span word="disagreement">disagreement</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="whether">whether</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="actually">actually</span> <span word="fly">fly</span>. <span word="Anchaeopteryx">Anchaeopteryx</span><span word="the">the</span> <span word="first">first</span> <span word="bird">bird</span>: 始祖鸟</p>
