詞義猜測題是閱讀理解中常見的一種題型，所猜測詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內容。詞義猜測題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測詞義和語義的能力，突出考查對語境的分析和把握能力。常見的猜詞法有：(1)利用上下文語境。猜測任何詞義都離不開上下文，所以要借助上下文對需要猜測的詞或短語進行合乎邏輯的推測。 (2)利用定義或解釋性的線索。閱讀文章中的有些生詞往往在其后會有對該詞進行解釋說明的短語或句子，利用它們猜詞義較容易 (3)利用文章的邏輯關系答題。如并列、對比、因果、轉折關系等。這些邏輯關系往往通過一些相應的詞或短語表達出來，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用構詞法知識答題。熟記一些前綴、后綴所表達的意思，不僅可以擴大詞匯量，而且?guī)椭�我們猜測詞義。第1小題的詞義猜測題就是利用第1種解題方法。
