考点33阅读理解词义猜测题高考频度:★★★★★历年来高考试题中的生词量有增无减。《教学大纲》要求学生―读懂生词率不超过3%的传记、故事、记叙文、科普小品文和有关社会文史知识等不同题材的材料。‖在英语阅读训练和测试中的生词障碍往往会成
为学生理解的―绊脚石‖,这些―绊脚石‖的出现大致分五类:1.旧词新义,考查词汇表中未出现的词义;如:NearbyistheIndianapolisracecourse,wherethenation’smostfamouscarraceisheldeachyearonMay30
th.我们学过course的意思是―过程,课程‖等,在此显然不符句意。根据上下文course是汽车赛举行的地方,可推断course在该句是―车道‖或―跑道‖的意思。2.合成词、转化词与派生词,如shoplifti
ng,heartbroken,computer-literate,decision-thinking,imperfect等;3.―灵活‖的常用词增多,这些词必须根据具体的上下文语境才能正确理解;4.―新鲜‖的外国人名、地名、专有名称增多,这些词有些带有一定的文化背景5.
超纲生词。有的学生在阅读训练和测试中存在着―生词恐惧心理‖,一遇到生词就有读不下去的感觉。那么阅读理解时遇到大量生词该怎么办?查词典当然是排除词义障碍的一种方法,当然这只有在平常的阅读训练中才可以使用。但是,频繁的查阅词典既影
响阅读速度,又容易破坏学生阅读的思路和兴趣。况且,一词多义是英语词汇的主要特点,词典不一定能为学生提供单词在特定的上下文中的具体或确切的含义。平时的练习中遇到生词不要马上查词典,可以通过一定的方法来猜测理解。猜测词义不仅是一项阅读技巧,也是高考阅读能力考查的一
个方面,每年在高考阅读中都有猜测词义的试题。掌握正确方法快速而又准确地猜测出生词的含义,对提高阅读速度和答题效率相当重要。该类题常见的考查形式有:1.Thephrase―…‖inthesentence
couldbereplacedby____.2.Theword―…‖intheparagraphrefersto____.3.Whatisthemeaningoftheunderlinedwordintheparagraph?/Whatdoestheunlinedwor
dmean?4.Whichofthefollowingistheclosestinmeaningtothephrase―…‖?5.Theword―…‖mostnearlymeans____.对此类试题,考生应该进行大胆猜测,但这种猜测不是胡乱的,盲目的,而是
有一定的方法和技巧。下面介绍几种常见的猜测词义的方法供同学们加以运用。1.构词法猜词阅读中常常会遇到一些由熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词。掌握构词法对猜测词义很有帮助。如:unforeseeable.这个词,可以根据构词法把它拆成un,fore,see
,able;其中see是词根,fore是―先,前,预‖的含义,un是否定,able是―能……的,可……的‖,因此unforeseeable是―未能预见到的‖意思。…Bakerconcludesthatpeopledonothavetheabilitytosensewhen
they’rebeingstaredat.Ifpeopledoubttheoutcomeofhistwoexperiments,saidBaker,―Isuggesttheyrepeattheexperimentsandseeforthe
mselves.‖…70.Theunderlinedword―outcome‖inthelastparagraphmostprobablymeans.A.valueB.resultC.performanceD.connection【答案】B【解析】运用―构
词法‖进行猜测。动词词组comeout的意义为―露出、出现、显露出‖。再根据句子的语境,可猜测出其意义是:(实验的)结果。2.利用同义近义词猜词在生词所出现的上下文中,有时会出现与之同义或近义的词语或结构,这时可从
熟悉的词语中推知生词的含义。统称在词或短语之间有并列连词and或or,这些词语或短语在句中作相同的成分,并且and或or连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的,由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域,甚至推出它的大致词
义。【2020年全国统一高考英语试卷(新课标Ⅰ),B】Returningtoabookyou’vereadmanytimescanfeellikedrinkswithanoldfriend.There’sawelcomefamiliarity-buta

ebtB.Reward.C.Allowance.D.Facevalue.【答案】26.B【解析】26.词义猜测题。根据最后一段中―whilemoneyisindeedwonderfulandnecessary,(虽然金钱确实是美妙而必要的)‖可知,前后句为转折关系,根据上下
文的语境可推知,―rereadinganauthor’sworkisthehighestcurrencyareadercanpaythem.‖意为―但是但重新阅读作品是读者能支付给他们的最高回报‖,由此判断出划线词的意思是
―回报‖。故选B项。3.利用反义词猜词对比是描述,说明事物的常用方式。在对比中,对比的事物是互为相反的,因此根据反义或对比关系可从已知推出未知。利用反义词来说明生词的意义,如反义词hotandcold,perfectandimp
erfect,甚至前、后句为肯定与否定或是与不是等,在句内词与词之间,在段内句与句之间的关系上起着互为线索的作用。【2020年全国统一高考英语试卷(新课标Ⅱ),B】Whenyouweretryingto

rlinedword―collapsed‖inparagraph5probablymean?A.Boomed.B.Becamemature.C.Remainedstable.D.Crashed.【答案】30.D【解析】30.词义猜测题。根据第五段Thefurtradek
eptnutriaincheckfordecades,butwhenthemarketfornutriacollapsedinthelate1980s,thecat-sizedanimalsmultipliedlikecrazy.得知,毛皮贸易使海狸鼠受到了几十年的控制,但是当海狸鼠市场在2
0世纪80年代末崩溃时,这种猫大小的动物数量疯长,根据but判断,这是转折关系,以前由于皮毛交易,海狸鼠处于控制,现在这种海狸鼠之所以能够数量激增,是由于市场不再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的,可以推断出划线词collapsed是和D.crashed倒闭的意思最相近。故选D。4.利用上下文
语境猜词任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的,都跟句子所在的段落及整整篇文章有关。利用上下文提供的情景和线索,进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义,是阅读过程中的一大关键,这也是近年来高考考查的热点。【2020年全国统一高考英语试卷(新课标III),B】When―Riseofth

letely.B.Directingprofessionally.C.Promotingsuccessfully.D.Watchingcarefully.【答案】26.D【解析】26.词句猜测题。根据第三段划线前的句
子“Onenonprofitorganization,whichmonitorsthetreatmentoranimalsinfilmedentertainment”(一个非营利组织,监控动物在电影娱乐中的待遇)以及下文Al
ready,anumberoffilms,including"WaterforElephants,""TheHangoverPartⅡ"and"Zookeeper,"havedrawntheangerofactivistswhosaythecreaturesact
inginthemhaven’tbeentreatedproperly.(许多电影,包括“大象的眼泪”,“宿醉Ⅱ”和“管理员”,引起了动物保护人士的愤怒,他们说影片中的动物没有遭到很好的对待。)由此可知,其中一家监控动物待遇的非营利组织,今年正密切关注着2000多部影片。由此判断出,划线词的意思
是“密切关注”。故选D项。【2020年全国统一高考英语试卷(新课标II),B】Ihaveaspecialplaceinmyheartforlibraries.IhaveforaslongasIcanremember.Iwasalwa

evelopedwiththereaders.【答案】33.B【解析】33.词句猜测题。根据上文AsIgrewolderandbecameamother可知,我长大了成了一位母亲,结合下文Ihadseveralch
ildrenandbookswereourmainsource(来源)ofentertainment.Itwasabigdealforustoloadupandgotothelocallibrary,where
mykidscouldpickoutbookstoreadorbookstheywantedmetoreadtothem(我有几个孩子,书是我们娱乐的主要来源。对于我们来说,坐上车去当地的图书馆是件大事,在那里我的孩子们可
以挑选要阅读的书或者想让我给他们读的书)可推断,作者成了母亲以后,带着孩子去图书馆,孩子挑选书籍来阅读,或者作者读给他们听,因此可知图书馆在作者的生活中又增添了新的意义,阅读的乐趣在家庭中代代相传”。故选B。5.利用定义和解释猜词有些文
章,特别是科技文章,通常会对一些关键词给予定义,我们可以利用定义来猜测这些词的意思。释义法就是根据文章中的字里行间,对生词以定语(从句)、表语甚至用逗号、破折号等标点符号引出并加以解释说明的方式。【2020年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(天津卷)(第一次)

lloffuel,justenvironmentallyfriendlypeaceandquiet.可知,电动飞机没有发动机的噪音,没有燃油的味道,只有环保的宁静等优点,因此为乘坐电动飞机的乘客提供更愉快的飞行体验。所以addedbonus指的是乘客获得的更愉快
飞行体验的额外收获。故选C。6.根据语义转折猜词有时文章的作者为了增强表达效果,会用一些含有表示意思转折的连词,副词或短语。如:though,although,still,but,yet,instead,insteadof,however,while,onthec
ontrary,ontheotherhand,unlike,ratherthan,foronething,foranother等,我们可以根据转折意思猜测词义。【2020年山东省高考英语试卷(新高考全国Ⅰ卷),D】AccordingtoarecentstudyintheJ

hheavierpeoplewhoorderlargeportions(份)”可知,现有的研究认为:你应该避免和体重较重、点大份饭菜的人一起吃饭。后半句认为,你真正应该避免的是thebeanpoleswithbigappetites。由contraryto可推断出
,画线词和heavierpeople(超重的人)相反,结合选项,D选项(瘦瘦高高的人)正好和heavierpeople正好相反。故选D。7.利用经验和常识猜词…―Iwasonthewaytoapersonal-injuryaccidentinWe

文Now,Ithinkofherasreadingsomuchofthetimewhiledoingsomethingelse.(现在,我觉得她在做其他事情的同时,也在阅读)可知作者的妈妈也非常喜欢阅读,故作者的母亲渴望读书

anarticleaboutthedisappearanceoftheAraSea‖可知,几年后,Bissell仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章。因此推断出对这个国家的兴趣让Bissell先生再次返回乌兹别克斯坦。故选B。9.
词句猜测题。划线句是第二段首句,that用来指代上文提的事情,因此推断that指代写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章这件事,根据第一段最后一句‖Afewyearslater,stillattractedtothecountry,hereturnedtoUzbekistantow

事的)可以表达此意。故选B。11.推理判断题。文章第一段提到书的作者的乌兹别克斯坦之行,引出他写的书,接下来三段讲述了他的书《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》的故事内容,是乌兹别克斯坦生活的一个快速观察。因此推断本文的写作目的是介绍一本书。故选A。Pass

tereactionwastoassumeIwaslisteningtosomeoneelse'srecording.Butthatwasmyvoice.Irealisedtherewassomethingstrangeaboutme.‖可知,作者录完音后,按下―播放‖键来听
,奇怪地听到一个小孩在说话。作者的第一反应是以为在听别人的录音,但那是作者的声音。由此可知,作者感到奇怪是因为自己的声音小,或听到一个小孩在说话,或是感觉听到的不是自己期望的。故答案为:Becausehervoicewasdifferentfromwhatshehadexp
ected.Or:Becauseallsheheardwasalittlekidtalking.Or:Becauseofherlittlevoice.57.段落大意题。根据第二段―Mylittlevoicehasmademefeelreallyshy.Andmy

esskeptherhiddenaway.Or:Hershynesskeptherawayfromotherpeople.58.词义猜测题。上句提到―Theworldneedsamixtureofpersonali
ties.Successisnotjustaboutwhocanshouttheloudest.Theworldneedsquieterpeople,too.‖表明作者感悟到这个世界需个性。成功不只是谁喊得声最
大。世界也需要更安静的人。根据―ThatdayIchosetostophiding‖可知作者选择不再躲藏,接受自己的害羞。embrace原意是―拥抱‖,此处指―接受,迎接‖,故答案为:Accept.Or:W

样的人,组织者希望通过这样的活动来提倡仁慈和同情。24.C【解析】词义猜测题。由第一段“ButatUnionStationinLosAngeleslastmonth,aboardwentupwithd
ollarbillsattachedtoitwithpinsandasignthatread,"GiveWhatYouCan,TakeWhatYouNeed.”可知,但是上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站,一块牌子上别针别满了美元,上面写着“给予你所能给与的,拿走你所需要的”。所以通过下文
的语境,判断出第1段中的moneywithnostringsattached是“无条件提供的钱”的意思。故B选项正确。25.B【解析】推理判断题。由第二段““Peopleofallages,races,andsocio-economic(社会经济的)backgroundsga
veandtook,”saidTylerBridgesofTheToolbox,whichcreatedtheproject."Weevenhadabrideinherweddingdresscomeuptoth
eboardandtakeafewdollars.”可知,发起该项活动的泰勒·布里奇斯说:“所有年龄、种族和社会经济背景的人都会付出和索取。”甚至有一位穿着婚纱的新娘来到了牌子前,拿走了一些钱。所以通过泰勒·布里奇斯所说的,可以判断出,他提到新娘就是想

尽管这段视频看起来像是一项新的广告活动的一部分,但是布里奇斯说这次活动唯一的目标是表现出慷慨和同情。所以布里奇斯实施这个活动是为了提倡仁慈和同情。故D选项正确。Passage4【语篇解读】本文为说明文。一项最新研究表明,由于气候变暖,世界海洋
将会变得更蓝、更绿。这一现象是因为一种叫做浮游植物的微小海洋微生物,因为光线反射的作用,它们在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案。但是浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响。气候变暖会改变海洋的主要特征,并影响浮游植物的生长。42.B【解析】段落大意题。第一段“Bytheendofthece

hytoplanktonscreatecolourfulpatternsattheoceansurface.Oceancolourvariesfromgreentoblue,dependingonthetypeandconc
entration”可知,这种现象的核心是一种叫做浮游植物的微小海洋微生物,在光线的作用下在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案。海洋的颜色从绿色到蓝色不等,这取决于海洋的类型和浮游植物浓度。由此可推断出这两段主要叙述了海洋生物是海洋颜色变化的原因。分析选项可知B符
合题意,故选B。43.A【解析】词义猜测题。根据划线词后的“Warmingchangeskeycharacteristicsoftheoceanandcanaffectphytoplanktongrowth,sincetheyneednotonlysunshineandca
rbondioxidetogrow,butalsonutrients.”可知,气候变暖会改变海洋的主要特征,并会影响浮游植物的生长。由此可判断“Butphytoplanktonarevulnerabletotheocean’swamningtrend”可知,浮
游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响。可知A项正确。44.D【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“Themodelprojectsthatcurrentlyblueareaswithlittlephytoplanktoncouldbecomeevenblue
r.Butinsomewaters,suchasthoseoftheArctic,awarmingwillmakeconditionsriperforphytoplankton,andthesearea
swillturngreener”,可知Dutkiewicz的模型预测,目前只有少量浮游植物的蓝色区域可能会变得更蓝。但是在一些水域,比如北极,气候变暖会使浮游植物的生长条件更加成熟,而这些水域会变得更绿了”。由此可推断,浮游植物的生长条件更
加成熟,浮游动植物就更多了,这些水域会变得更绿了。分析选项可知D项符合题意。45.C【解析】目的意图题。第一段提出文章的主旨“Bytheendofthecentury.Ifnotsooner,theworld'so
ceanswillbebluerandgreenerthankstoawarmingclimate,accordingtoanewstudy.”可知到本世纪末。一项新的研究表明,由于气候变暖,如果不尽快的话,世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。再结
合第三段“Butphytoplanktonarevulnerabletotheocean’swarningtrendWarmingchangeskeycharacteristicsoftheoceanandcanaffectphytoplanktongrowth,„”可知,“
浮游植物很容易受到海洋警告趋势的影响,变暖改变了海洋的关键特征,并能影响浮游植物的生长”。可知本文主要解释气候变化对海洋的影响。故选C。题组三Passage1【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了随着社会的发展人类语言越来越少及其原因。28.B【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的Wh

疑助理,取得了很好的效果。1.细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Inordertohelpcopewiththevastnumberofstudentquestionsintheonlineclass,Knowledge-BasedArtificialInt
elligence.”可知“知识型(基于知识)的人工智能”是一门在线课程,而不是机器人、高科技设备亦或是计算机程序。本题的易错点在于,学生容易将局部内容与全文主体内容混淆导致错选,这位教授专攻人工智能,开设相关课程,还自己开发人工智能教学助理,题干中
的名称对应的是课程名,切勿被绕进去,故本题选C。2.词义猜测题。根据第二段中,该词所在句子的上文“Manystudentsdropoutofonlinecoursesbecauseofthelackofteachingsupport.Whenstudentsfeelisol
atedorconfusedandreachoutwithquestionsthatgounanswered,theirmotivationtocontinuebeginstofade.”可知,很多学生因缺乏相应的教学支持而从线上课程掉队或退课,当他们感觉疑惑又孤立无援,问题得不到解答时,继续学下
去的动力便会开始减退,这是一种负面的情形。而本句中提到教授要做些什么来这一情形(decidedtodosomethingtoremedythissituation),可猜测remedy有扭转、改变、改善之类的含义,A.Boycott联合抵制,拒绝
参加;B.Improve改善,提高,改进,变得更好;C.Evaluate评价,评估;D.Corrupt使腐烂、堕落、恶化,综上故选B。3.推理判断题。JillWatson是虚拟教学助理的名字,根据原文倒数第二段“Jillwa

这个人工智能助理极其逼真,连学习人工智能的学生都没法把它和真正的人区分开来,它能正确解答当时学生提出的问题中的97%,学生体验都很好,所以说这是一个巨大的成功,故本题选C。4.细节理解题。根据原文最后一段“Th
egoalofProfessorGoel’svirtualassistantnextyearistotakeoveranswering40%ofallthequestionsposedbystudentsontheonlineforu
m.”可知,教授的下一步目标是让它能解答学生所有问题中的40%,也就是让它更进一步,能解答更多问题,故选A。Passage2【答案】1.B2.A3.D4.A【解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了作者为了减少一次性产品的使用,而建了一个环保厨房,并且改变了自己很多生活习惯,使用更环保的

chasplasticbagsandpapertowels.”一年前,作者想要建一个环保的厨房,这样就可减少使用像塑料袋和纸巾这样的一次性产品。由此可知,作者创建厨房的主要目的是减少浪费和更多的循环利用。故选B项。2.词义猜测题。从文中“Ittakescom
