22、的代词 it,that,he,him 或 them 可以指上文提到的人或 物,其中 it 和 that 还可以指一件事。 3根据转折或对比关系猜测词义 根据上下句的连接词,如 but,however,otherwise 等就可以看到 前后句在意义上的差别,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定另一句的含 义。 4利用因果关系猜测词义 因果关系是一种常见的、行之有效的提供生词词义信息的逻辑关 系。常见的表示因果关系的词汇有 since,as,because,for,so,thus, consequently, therefore, hence, due to, result in, result from
23、, as a result 等。 5利用定语或同位语猜测词义 通常用来引出同位语的词或短语有 or,that is,in other words 等, 还有的同位语以括号或破折号的形式出现。在这些标记词后考生可较 容易地找到同画线词意义相同或相近的词。 6利用文章中的举例猜测词义 在阅读理解中考生可以根据文章所举的例子,从具体到一般,猜 出该生词的意思。常用来引出所举例子的提示词语有 such as,for example,for instance,like 等。 例文 Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to
