阅读的目的在于获得整个句子、整个段落、乃至整个篇章的思想,而不是各个孤立的词汇的意义。新托福口语考试中的阅读,考查的是考生对段落中心思想整体把握的能力,只要能获得阅读材料的主要信息,并随后能用自己的话加以陈述,一两个生词不会有什么大碍。
不可否认,巨大的词汇量是高质量的阅读和高质量的口语的基础。但当遇到生词时总查字典又不现实,那么我们不妨利用上下文来推测,看看我们有多大的猜词本领。强大的猜词本领无疑会有助于阅读速度和阅读能力的提高。
1.根据定义、解释猜测词义
We all know that ants are ferocious eaters. They differ widely in their diets and may be carnivorous, herbivorous, or omnivorous,meaning that some eat meat; others eat only plants while others eat a combination of both.
由后面的解释我们可以得知:carnivorous的意思是食肉的herbivorous的意思是食草的omnivorous的意思是杂食的。
2.根据复述
Today, Id like to talk about some of the changes land can undergo, specifically desertification, process through which land becomes part of a desert.
后面的同位语告诉我们desertification的意思是沙漠化。Since the fossil of the Anchaeopteryx, the first bird, was discovered in Germany in 1861, there has been continuous disagreement as to whether or not it could actually fly. Anchaeopteryx the first bird: 始祖鸟
