托福閱讀遇到難詞怎么猜？

小編：環(huán)球教育整理 541二. 語境法
根據(jù)上下文語境內(nèi)容來推斷出某個詞匯的含義，就是語境法。通常托福閱讀中考查到以下兩種語境：
1. 并列語境：所考查的詞匯跟前后形成一個同義的關(guān)系。
例題：Given a year of favorable precipitation, such plants will develop vigorously and produce large numbers of flowers and fruit.
Q: In saying that ephemerals will develop “vigorously" when there is favorable precipitation, the author means that their development will be
A: sudden
B: early
C: gradual
D: strong and healthy
解析：可以利用句子的并列關(guān)系來推測，develop vigorously和生產(chǎn)大量的花和果實并列，那么很明顯，D選項最合適。
2. 轉(zhuǎn)折語境：所考查的詞匯跟前后形成一個相反的關(guān)系。
For example, a pond in hilly country that maintains a steady water level all through a dry summer in spite of having no streams flowing into it must obviously be seepage dominated. Conversely, a pond with a stream flowing in one end and out the other, which dries up when the stream dries up, is clearly surface water dominated.
Q: The word Conversely meaning to
A: on the other hand
B: in the same way
C: in other words
D: on average
解析：原句說有河水流入流出的是surface water dominated，前一句說一個沒有地表水流入的pond是seepage dominated，那么后文當然與之相對，所以正確答案是A。
三. 歸納法
“狂背單詞，疏于整理”是一大誤區(qū)。積累單詞的同時，要進行整理歸納，以下有兩種推崇的方法：
1. 意群法：將意思相近的單詞放在一起進行記憶。
吝嗇：stingy, penurious, niggardly, miserly, parsimonious, petty
貧窮：indigent, impoverished, destitute, penniless, impecunious, poverty
2. 類比法：將形式相近的單詞放在一起進行記憶。
infect v.感染，傳染
affect v.影響;感染;感動;假裝
inflect v.彎曲;改變;使屈曲
effect n.影響;效果;作用
以上就是小編給大家分享的托福閱讀遇到難詞的方法，希望能給有需要的同學提供幫助。
