3语义型
该试题分两类:一类是解释词义,另一类是理解句意。题目要求根据上下文特定语境对单词、词组或句子进行释义。阅读理解中的语义试题含蓄、隐晦,其正确答案常具有以下特点:
a.词义属于熟“词”新义,具有引申意义;
b.句意或词义是对原词、原句的解释,而不是逻辑推理;
c.所测试的超纲词或代词需要借助于各种技巧推测词义。
解答该类题时,应在原文找出有关词、句的位置,根据其语境判断含义。首先可以将四个选项中最明显的干扰项排除,缩小其范围,然后用确定为答案的项代替原词,放入原句,检查是否保持了原意,实现了“一个意思,两种说法”。正确答案通常是对原词的释义或者对原句的复述。
1)解释词义
该类试题旨在考查所掌握词汇的数量、质量以及判断应变能力。所测试的词可能是超纲词,或常用词“熟词新义”,也可能是代词。对常用词,并非考查表层意思,而是追究深层含义,要求透过其表层意思理解深层含义;对于代词而言,由于指代内容和其他词混在一起,需要根据具体语境进行区分。因此,无论是超纲词,还是常用词或代词,都需要仔细推测,准确理解。例:
