巧用派生词,做好语法填空(2)
◆ 技巧点拨
动词前后、形容词前后可有副词,这时,如果所给词为形容词,则需将其变为副词。如果所给词为名词或动词,可先将其变为形容词,再加后缀~ly。另外,在答题时还要考虑副词级的变化。名词前面一般可有形容词修饰语,连系动词后接形容词作表语。如果所需词为形容词时,还要考虑形容词级的变化。如:
(1)The little girl is extremely (extreme)eager to know the result of the exam.
(2)Your composition is badly (bad) organized.Please do your writing exercise more_attentively (attend) next time.
(3)What's the longest (length) river in the world
(4)The stronger (strength) we become,the more modest we should be.
(5)He was very tired after doing this for a whole day,but he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” higher (height).
常用形容词、副词后缀
形容词+~ly→副词 careful carefully
名词+~ful→形容词 hope hopeful
名词+~y→形容词 luck lucky
名词+~ous→形容词 mountain mountainous
名词+~al/ial→形容词 emotion emotional
动词+~able/(s)ible→形容词 forget forgettable
accessible access
动词+~tive→形容词 attract attractive

三、阅读理解 专题训练(一)
阅读中的猜词技巧(2)
定义释义法
◆ 方法点拨
释义指对陌生词的解释(解释性描述),一般通过定义、定语从句、词组、同位语从句来体现。其表现形式为:用that is,in other words,or,mean,be called,refer to或连系动词to be等定义或重述形式来解释生词。 如∶
[例题1]:Anthropology is the scientific study of man.
[例题2]The_herdsman,who looks after sheep,earns about 650 yuan a year.
[解析1]从解释 the scientific study of man可知anthropology的意思是 “人类学”。
[解析2]定语从句中looks after sheep就表明了herdsman的词义为“牧人”。

(2009年全国Ⅰ卷)We have met the enemy,and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey pox,a disease usually found in the African rain forest,suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest,it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing or on human beings.“Most of the infections we think of as human infections started in other animals,” says Morse,director of the Center for Public Health Preparedenss at Columbia University.
It's not just that we're going to where the animals are,we're also bringing them closer to us.Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets,and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea.“I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them”,says Isaken.
“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz.Monkey pox may be the wake up_call.Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners.We know very little about these new diseases.A new bug may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful.Monkey pox doesn't look a major infectious disease.But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.
