词句猜测题——
抓住“暗示”破题
第三讲
猜测词句类题目是高考阅读理解的常考题型,这类题型针对语篇中一些关键性的单词、短语或句子进行设问,要求考生猜测其含义。这些需要猜测的单词、短语或句子往往与上下文有紧密的逻辑关系,文章中往往会提供和这些词句相关的定义解释、提示词或者句子结构等,考生做题时要善于寻找并捕捉这些隐性提示,并关联上下文意进行猜测。这类题型分为词义猜测题、代词指代题和句意猜测题。
常见设问方式有:
·What does “...” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to?
·Which is closest in meaning to “...” in Paragraph 1?
·What do the underlined words “...” mean in Paragraph 3?
·Which of the following best explains “...” underlined in Paragraph 2?
·Which of the following can replace the underlined word “...” in Paragraph 2?
·Which of the following words can take the place of the underlined word “...”?
一、词义猜测题——灵活运用“5大技法”
技法(一) 根据上下文语境猜测词义
上下文语境是猜测画线部分含义的重要依据之一。在解题时,考生需要“瞻前顾后”,全面考虑词汇在文章中所要表达的含义。

29.What does the underlined word “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean?

C.Check-in. D.Take-over.
分析:根据画线词后面“This process requires you to step away from optional online activities for thirty days.”可知,the digital declutter要求人们远离一些线上活动,即对自己的线上活动进行清理。故选A。
技法(二) 根据同(近)义词/反义词复现猜测词义
在同一句、同一段或同一篇文章中,作者为了避免语言的单调、重复,有时会使用意思相同、相近或相反的词。因此,考生只要读懂上下文,知道其中一个词的意思,就能猜出另外一个词的意思。

Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There's never a stage at which the system knows what it's talking a
