考研界流傳著這樣的一句話：“得閱讀者得考研英語”。2018年考研的小伙伴們對于英語的復(fù)習(xí)已經(jīng)進(jìn)入攻堅階段，大家對于閱讀模塊的復(fù)習(xí)是否已經(jīng)做到胸有成竹?考研英語閱讀有六大題型，其中猜詞題主要考查大家對于詞匯和句子的特定語境含義的理解。

1、題型特點(diǎn)

猜詞題主要考查所考詞匯或句子在上下文語境中的特殊含義，需要大家結(jié)合原文進(jìn)行理解。而所考詞匯有的是大綱詞匯，還有的可能是超綱詞匯或句子，因此，大家在做猜詞題時務(wù)必做到結(jié)合上下文進(jìn)行理解，并注意詞匯的引申含義。

2、易出題處

1)同義關(guān)系處：并列或遞進(jìn)關(guān)系往往表示同義，因此，命題老師往往在and, indeed, just as, also, besides等表示并列關(guān)系處進(jìn)行出題。

2)標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號處：標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號暗示語義關(guān)系，例如破折號、冒號或括號表示同義解釋說明。

3)轉(zhuǎn)折讓步處：命題老師在出題時除了愛在同義關(guān)系處設(shè)題外，還喜歡在轉(zhuǎn)折讓步關(guān)系處進(jìn)行設(shè)題，因此，大家要對所猜詞附近的轉(zhuǎn)折讓步詞足夠敏感。

3、題干特點(diǎn)

1)考查某個單詞意思或某個詞組意思的猜詞題：

The word “mania” (line 4, paragraph 2) most probably means ______.(2007)

The word “bummer” (line 5, paragraph 5) most probably means something _____. (2006)

2)猜測某個句子含義的猜詞題：

By saying “these figures are conservative” (line 3, paragraph 3), Dr. Worm means that_______. (2006)

What does the author mean by “most people are literally having a ZZZ” (line 2, paragraph 5)? (2004)

4、解題技巧

做猜詞題時，大家要謹(jǐn)記一個原則：詞本無義，義由境生。因此，大家在做題時要注意以下三點(diǎn)：

1)字面意思一定不是正確選項(xiàng);

2)是否能與文中上下文進(jìn)行同義替換;

3)搜索代入，看是否通順、合理。

5、練習(xí)

2006, text 3

People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery. They worked until exhausted, lived with few protections and died young. In the West, before mass communication and literacy, the most powerful mass medium was the church, which reminded worshippers that their souls were in danger and that they would someday be meat for worms. Given all this, they did not exactly need their art to be a bummer too.

37. The word “bummer” (line 5, paragraph 5) most probably means something ________.

A religious B unpleasant C entertaining D commercial

參考答案：B

注意：本題干擾選項(xiàng)是A選項(xiàng)，大家在做題時一定要認(rèn)真分析句與句之間的邏輯關(guān)系，不要一葉障目。
