Formation,构词法,It will be very hard but very,brittle,that is,it will break easily.,一、,Definition,定义法:一般通过定义、定语从句/词组或同位语从句/词组来确定词义,Check the answers,从后面的解释中,我们可以了解到,brittle,是“易碎的,脆的”的意思,The,herdsman,who,looks after sheep,earns about 650 yuan a year.,定语从句中,looks after sheep,就表明了,herdsman,的词义为“牧羊人”,。,二、,Contrast,对比法:,利用文中的反义词、表对比关系的词猜测词义。,表示对比的词有,but、while、however、otherwise,等。,Most of us agreed,however,Bill,dissented.,从表示转折的词,however,可推断出,dissented,就是,disagreed,She is usually,prompt,for all her class,but today she arrived in the middle of her first class.,A on time B late C slowly D quickly,A,根据句意及,but,可推知,后半句的意思是他今天在“第一节上了一半才来”,因此反向推理,可得出他平时一向“准时”的结论。,三、,Similarity,相似法:利用同义词、近义词或词组猜测词义,Cleaning up waterways is an,enormous,task.The job is so large,in fact,that the government may not be able to save some of the rivers and lakes which have been polluted.,四、,Cause Effect,因果法:从原因推测结果,从结果推测原因,One who is,destitute,has a great need for food and clothing.,从后面“急需食物和衣服”中可以看出,destitute,是“穷困的”意思。,That museum is so,immense,that it will be impossible to see all the exhibits in one day.,既然一天之内看不完所有的展品,这个博物馆当然是够“大的”了。,五、,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。,Today young couples often spend lots of their money on,appliances,for instance,washing-machine,refrigerators and color televisions.,六、,Word Formation,构词法,:英语单词大多是由词根、词头(前缀)、词尾(后缀)所组成。词根是单词最基本的部分,表达单词的基本含义。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、词尾的基本含义,那么就可以很容易地猜测所构成的新词的含义了。,中学英语中常见的前缀和后缀有,super-(,超,)mini-,(极小的,微小的),micro-,(极微小的),re-,(再,反复),mis,-,(误,恶),im,-,(不),un-,(不,非),in-,(不,非),non-,(不,非),-able,(能,的),-less,(不,无),-wards(,向,),Can

called,Milly,had had a very bad accident.,A see clearly B understand C expect,B,从上句“他显得非常紧张,讲了一会我才懂得他讲的内容”中判断,make out,意为,understand,,故选,B。,七、,Context,上下文:利用语境及前后的提示来猜测词义,Tom saw,an owl,in a tree last
