成考英语：阅读理解答题技巧（四）

 Example：

　　Jogging has become very popular in some countries，It is believed to be a good exercise for old people.

　　"Jogging"的意思通过"a good exercise for old people "可以推断出是一种适合老年人的剧烈的运动方式。

　　2、利用文章中词与词的同义和反义关系猜测词义

　　Example：

　　If you happened to be sitting in the woods outside the city，you might have witnessed a strange sight.You would have seen a very proud looking man riding along horseback，saying something.

　　在文章中可以很容易地判断出"witnesss"的同义关系词是"seen"，因此"witness"就是看见的意思。

　　Example：

　　In the northern regions the winters are generally cold and humid，and the summers hot and dry.

　　显然，冬天和夏天的气候是截然相反的，它们的修饰词的意思也应该截然相反。"cold"与"hot"对应，"humid"与"dry"对应。因此，"humid"是"潮湿"的意思。

　　3、利用文章中对词的定义猜测词义

　　Example：

　　Such experiences are not unusual for the amateur conchologists，people who collect shells.

　　Conchologists的意思可以根据该词后面的同位解释"people who collect shells"理解为收集贝壳的人或贝壳收藏家。
