在复述中构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号,冒号,分号,引号,和括号等。

Capacitance, or the ability to store electric charge, is one of the most common characteristics of electronic circuits.

由同位语我们很快猜出生词capacitance词义---电容量。

在此提醒考生们需要注意的是:同位语前还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say i. e. 等副词或短语出现。

定语从句 Krabacber suffers from SAD, which is short for seasonal affective disorder, a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings.

根据生词SAD后面定语从句which is short for seasonal affective disorder和同位语a syndrome characterized by severe seasonal mood swings, 我们可以推断出 SAD含义,即“季节性情绪紊乱症”。

又如原文:The dominant idea, raised by 64% of the pupils, was that rainforests provide animals with habitats. 对于dominant 词义的猜测可以通过后面复述的64% 猜出,为:多数的,起到控制作用的。

3、根据举例猜测词义

恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索,例如:The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past.

句中“战争”和“重大科学发现”是生词的实例,通过它们我们可以猜出epochal的大致词义“重要的”,这与其确切含义“划时代的”十分接近。

再比如下列原文:She also claims that those who think the more intense the exercise the better are wrong. Many benefits of exercise – reducing the risk of hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and cancers – can be achieved form any level of activity.

借助同时并列出现的cancers 的意思,可以猜测到上述hypertension 和diabetes也是和疾病相关的单词,虽然不一定能借助cancer 猜到两个单词的意思分别为“高血压”和“糖尿病”,但对于解题已经足矣。

4、根据单词结构猜测词义

英文的单词结构本身极具特点,细心观察单词,有望通过其本身结构破解词义。如:These misconceptions do not remain isolated but become incorporated into a multifaceted, but organized, conceptual framework, making it and the component ideas, some of which are erroneous, more robust but also accessible to modification.

对于文中multifaceted 词义的猜测就可以借助其本身的构词特点来完成。籍由multi- (多元的) 和 faceted (平面的),可知该词的意思为:多面的。

那么,作为教师而言,如何能将猜词技巧贯穿于教学中,真正起到优化考生成绩的作用呢?分析认为做到下列三方面,能达成这样的目标。

首先,培养良好习惯。 养成做真题时脱离字典的习惯。课堂上学员随时使用词典已经越来越普遍,虽然这样做快速解答了学生在单词方面的疑惑,但长期使用抹杀了我们大脑本身具备的猜词能力,而缺乏了大脑在猜测过程中的struggle,即便日后进行了单词的记忆,也没有在当时第一时间进行struggle 后来得更加记忆深刻。

其次,设定针对性的单词练习。取一些与真题文章极为接近的题源文章的相关片段,进行专门的词汇练习。建议下载www. 或 的相关片段,相似程度高且简便易行。

最后,贯穿于复习中。教师在授课中也可以经常有意识地创造一些机会,加强练习,使学生形成强烈的意识,主动地参与练习。
