英語(yǔ)考試閱讀理解題的猜詞技巧(4)
根據(jù)語(yǔ)境和misrepresent的構(gòu)詞方式, 前綴mis-的意思是“誤,錯(cuò)-的”,詞根represent的意思是“表達(dá),展示”之意, 合在一起我們知道m(xù)isrepresent的詞義為“誤述,歪曲”。
十四、文中代詞指代的推測(cè)
高考題年年考查對(duì)文中代詞實(shí)際指代的對(duì)象。一般來說它實(shí)際指代的對(duì)象在含有代詞的句子前半部分或前一句話。我們把它叫做“前指”。
例一:Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped at noon as the press rported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal.”We have more important things to do,” he said.
根據(jù)我們上面講到的,they應(yīng)該指上一句中的Demands for pigeon-delivered money。
例二:The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”, or false clues, to mislead them.
根據(jù)語(yǔ)境them.指代上文的readers。
雖然掌握一些猜詞技巧能幫助我們猜測(cè)詞義,但是我們不能只依靠這些。最重要的還是掌握全篇文。
