三、阅读理解 专题训练(一)
阅读中的猜词技巧(5)
对比法
◆ 方法点拨
有的文章作者为了增强表达效果,会用一对反义词揭示事物的不同点,形成鲜明的对比,这时只要把握其中的一词,就不难推出另一词的含义;有时根据上下句之间表示转折或对比关系的连接词,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。这种句子多半有unlike,although,but,yet,while,on the contrary,on the other hand,instead of,rather than等信息词。另外,分号也可以表示转折、对比的意义。如:
(1)Is he intelligent or stupid
(2)Unlike his brother,who is truly a handsome person,Hogertty is quite homely.
1.解析:根据stupid可推断出intelligent的意思为“聪明的”。
答案:聪明的
2.解析:此句中的unlike一词暗示了Hogertty和他的兄弟的长相不同,他的兄弟是个handsome(英俊的)人,所以Hogertty一定是一个homely (不英俊)的人。
答案:不英俊的
◆ 活学活用
(一)利用上述猜测词义方法,猜出下列各句划线部分的意思
1.Unlike the Unite States where many different nationalities make up the population,Japan's population is quite homogeneous.
2.Any fool can make soap,but it takes a genius to sell it.
3.Andrew is one of the most supercilious man I know.His brother,in contrast,is quite humble and modest.
4.A good supervisor can recognize instantly the adept workers from the unskilled ones.
5.Mother was tall,fat and middle aged.The principal of the school was an older woman,almost as plump as mother,and much shorter.( )
A.healthy B.thin
C.slim D.fat
(二)阅读下列短文,按要求完成读写任务
How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病).Believing my career(职业生涯)was over,I felt extremely low.Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing.That was it ——the encouragement I needed.I could still be a winner if I believed in myself.I am not saying that it isn't difficult sometimes.But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet.Nothing is to stand in my way.”
Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
“I swim 4 hours a day,6 days a week.I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary.This is the key to success——you can't follow a career in any field without being well organized.List what you believe you can achieve.Trust yourself,write down your goals for the day,however small they are,and you'll be a step closer to achieving them.”
Kirsten Best
Poet &Writer
“When things are getting hard,a voice inside my head tells me that I can't achieve something.Then,there are other distractions,such as family or hobbies.The key is to concentrate.When I feel tense,it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’,‘peace’ or ‘focus’,either out loud or silently in my mind.It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence.This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological(心理的)tool.”
