(2)Pygmies can move in the treetops almost expertly as monkeys...one of the most surprising facts about these small men and women is their great appetitethey can eat much.
从例句中以物的类比和矛盾的描写里,可知Pygmies(俾格米人)是能够似灵猴般在树梢上穿行的矮小人种(small men and women);他们人虽矮小,但却吃得很多(eat much),胃口大得很(great appetite)。这种即包含同义、对比又包含矛盾关系的描写无疑保证了对文字的正确认识和猜测的准确性。
3)利用上下文线索的词的关系(word relation)和短语、句子重述(rephrasing and restatement)。
(1)Only archaeologists can find out a lot about our early history.
众所周知,能够发现许多东西与我们早
期历史有关联的人往往只有(only)我们的历史考古学家(archaeologist)。
(2)Psychology,the study of mans mind,depends on careful observation of people behavior or actions under certain conditions.
例句中the study of mans mind(对人类精神的研究)的短语重述,结合下文内容可猜测出Psychology为研究人类行为心理的心理学。
(3)Skim before you read.This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully.
