A(2022·南充中考)
A tree has roots.People have roots,too.If you get to the root of a problem,you
will solve it.It’s the same thing with words.Dig deeply into a big,unfamiliar word and
you will understand where it came from.
As readers,especially those reading in a second language,we need to deal with
the text as if we were detectives(侦探) looking for information to unlock the
unknown.Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene,the first thing to do
when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation,to look at everything
that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
As you know,prefixes(前缀) and suffixes(后缀) can be added to the
beginning or end of words to change the meaning.Know them,and you will have the
word building power.But root words are the key.Take time to learn a few of these,put
them in your memory,and you will become a master word detective.
Let’s look at one common root word used in English.“Alter” from the Latin
word means “other”.When you meet this root word,you know that the bigger word
has something to do with “other”.Examine the word “alternate”.Can you find the
Latin root in it?
·If you and your friend like to eat out,first you pay and the other pays the next
time.You are alternating paying.
·If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays,you go on one Saturday,but not the
other Saturday.
·If you have no alternative,you have no other choice.
Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying.Then use
your “rooting for words” skills.Like any new skill,practice and hard work are
always paid back.
