成人英语考试通关秘笈
成人英语考试通关秘笈1.根据定义、解释猜测词义
定义线索是用别的单词或短语来为一个陌生单词或短语下定义或作解释。
例如：Anthropology is the scientific study of man. 由定义可知，anthropology就是"研究人类的科学 "。
Decision-thinking is not unlike poker…… This card game has often been of considerable interest to people.
在此句中，如果我们不知道"poker"的词义，不需要查字典，可通过定义线索获得"poker is king of card game" .
成人英语考试通关秘笈2.根据复述猜词
同位语 Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently.
此例逗号中短语意为"对词意义进行研究的学科" .该短语与前面生词semantics式 同位关系，因此我们不难猜出 semantics指"语义学"。
成人英语考试通关秘笈3.根据举例猜词
如：The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past.
句中"战争 "和"重大科学发现"是生词的实例，通过它们我们可以猜出 epochal的 大致词义"重要的 "，这与其确切含义"划时代的"十分接近。
