3、行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时,其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的或相反的,由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域,进而可推知其大致意思。 (4)根据构词法(合成、派生、转化等)进行猜测。在英语中,有很多词可以在前面加前缀或在后面加后缀,从而构成另外一个词,乍看起来,这个词可能是新词,但掌握了一定的构词知识,就不难猜出它的词义了。(5)根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇文章中,根据原因可以预测结果;同样,根据结果也可以找出原因。,(6)根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词it,that,this,he,him 或them等可以指上文提到的人或物,其中it和that还可以
4、指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远,要认真查找;有时还需要对前面提到的内容进行总结,才能得出代词所指代的事。,典题印证,(2016全国,C片段)I am Peter Hodes,a volunteer stem cell courier.Since March 2012,Ive done 89 tripsof those,51 have been abroad,I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because Ive got two ice packs and thats how long they last.
