阅读理解 第26课时 词义猜测题 四 (2011·重庆卷A篇) There was a gardener who looked after his garden with great care. To water his flowers, he used two buckets. One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one, which had seen many years of service, but was now past its best. 56. What does the underlined word “dilapidated” probably mean? A. Dirty. B. Dark. C. Worn-out. D. Plain-looking. C 词义猜测题。根据One was a shiny and new bucket. The other was a very old and dilapidated one.可知一只桶是崭新的，而另一只是破旧不堪的。注意下文特别提到The old bucket felt very ashamed because of its holes: before it reached the flowerbeds, much water had leaked along the path.可知是漏水的，当然就破了。 思路点拨 猜词是英语阅读的重要技巧，也是高考中常考的题型。考生要学会“顺藤摸瓜”，通过构词、定义、对比、因果、联想、上下文等线索(各种已知信息)确定词义。要求猜测词义的词一般为实词(动词、名词、形容词等)。就方法来说，主要根据上下文线索和构词法。高考阅读文章中更侧重前者。 根据定义猜测词义 通过定义、定语从句/词组或同位语从句/词组等来确定词义。 |
