中考英语阅读词汇障碍题7个答题技巧
1、根据定义或解释、说明猜测生词的词义
在be，becalled，call等判断词出现的判断句中，可以根据已知部分，猜测生词的含义。例如：Apersonwhoisskilledatmakingorrepairingwoodenobjectsiscalledacarpenter.通过理解定语从句的意思，能猜出carpenter是"木匠"。
2、根据对比关系猜测生词的词义
在but，however，yet，otherwise，though这些表示意义转折的连词出现的句子中，其前后的'词有明显的对比关系，根据已知的内容，通过这种对比关系，就很容易猜出生词的词义了。例如：
ThoughTom"sfacehasbeenwashedquiteclean,hisneckstillremainsgrubby.
和clean意思相对的便是"肮脏的"了，因此可猜出句中grubby的意思是"肮脏的"。
3、通过因果关系猜测词义
because,since与as是连接原因状语从句的从属连词，so是连接表示结果的状语从句的连词，so...that与such...that中的that是连接结果状语从句的。当这些信息词出现在有生词的句子中，通过因果关系，依据已知部分就能猜出生词的词义。英语培训例如：
Shewantedthebairdressertotrimherhairabitbecauseitwastoolong.
根据because从句所讲的意思，我们就可推测trim就是"修剪"之意。
4、根据生活常识猜测词义
运用逻辑推理能力，自身的生活经验及生活常识。再联系上下文能读懂的部分，可以正确猜出词义。例如：
Mostoftherosesarebeginningtowitherbecauseofthecold.
根据句子意思及生活经验，wither表示"枯萎"。
5、根据同等关系猜测词义
同等关系，指的是一个词，一组词或短语在句中作同一成分，而且它们的词义都属于同一范畴。明显的标志是，这样的词组或短语中间常常用并列连词and或or来连接。例如：
Atforty-twohewasinhisprimeandalwaysfullofenergy.
从"年龄42岁"以及与prime具有同等关系的fullofenergy可以猜出prime的意思是"盛年时期"。
6、根据列举的事例猜测词义
Youcantakeanyoftheperiodicals:"TheWorldofEnglish"."ForeignLanguageTeachinginSchools",or"EnglishLearning".
从后面列举的例子中，可以猜出periodical是"期刊，杂志"的意思。
7、根据构词法知识猜测词义
根据学过的构词法知识，知道词根和前缀或后缀的意义，就可猜出由它们组成的新词词义。例如：ThecolorsofHawaiiinSummerareunforgettable.
