對于GCT英語考試的大部分生詞詞匯,都可以用一些巧妙方法進行推測。下面,在職研究生網就在考前披露這四大方法,希望考生能夠及時派上用場。
GCT英語根據同義、反義關系猜詞
Today' s teenagers seem to be more liberal in their ideas than their _______ grandparents.
A. freethinking B. traditional C. old D. happy
traditional與liberal意思相反,故選B.
GCT英語根據句意或段落文章的上、下文猜測詞義
Klebold and Harris felt _______ and wanted to revenge against those who disliked playing
together with them or laughed at them.
A. discouraged B. ashamed C. tired D. separated
根據下文的disliked playing together with them判斷此處應為“感到孤立”,故選D.
利用構詞法猜測詞義(利用前、后綴及合成詞猜詞義)
GCT英語用前、后綴猜測詞義
GCT英語中的前綴、后綴構詞頗多,且特定的綴往往表示特定的含義,把握住這一點,可起到以不變應萬變的效果。
1)He had been overworking and fell ill at last.
overwork是由前綴over-加動詞構成,over有“超過、過于”之意,overwork意思是“工作過多,勞累過度”.再如,overburden負擔過重,overcharge要價過高,overdo做得過分。英語中常用的前綴還有:
mis-錯,誤:misfortune不幸;mislead誤導;mismanage處理不當
mid-中央:midnight半夜;midway半路
under-低于:underdone半生不熟的;underestimate低估
anti-反對:antibody抗體;anticyclone反氣旋;antifreeze防凍劑
下面劃線單詞為常見后綴派生詞:
1)You must stop dreaming and face reality.(-ty為名詞的標志)
2)The country is trying to popularize education. (-ize為及物動詞的標志,再如realize, modernize)
GCT英語利用合成詞猜測詞義
Family members take turns choosing a special activity for the evening, and everyone partakes in for fun.
根據短語構成及上下文意思看,此處partakes in相當于takes part in.再如break out-outbreak(名詞爆發),set out-outset(名詞起始),come in-income(名詞收入)。
不知道以上幾個猜生詞的方法是否可以真的派上用場呢?在職研究生網為大家準備了高質量的GCT英語試題,有需要的考生可以趁熱打鐵進行考前練手。
