Question

【題目】 Agatha Christie is undoubtedly queen of the detective story． Many people have fallen in love with her creations ﹣Hercule Poirot， a famous Belgian detective and Miss Marple， an old lady who is also an amateur （業(yè)余的）detective．

As I am a big fan of Agatha Christie， let me share with you an interesting story about her． The famous writer never forgot that night when she met a robber many years ago． That evening， she was invited to a birthday party which lasted until 2 o'clock in the morning． Agatha walked in the quiet street alone． Suddenly from the shadow of a dark building a tall man with a sharp knife in his right hand ran out at her． "Good morning， lady，" the man said in a low voice， "I don't think you wish to die here!"

"What do you want？" Agatha asked．

"Your earrings． Take them off!"

Agatha suddenly had a bright idea． She tried to cover her necklace with the collar （衣領(lǐng)）of her coat while she used the other hand to take off both of her earrings and then she quickly threw them on the ground．

"Take them and let me go，" she said． The robber saw that the girl didn't care for the earrings at all， only trying to protect the necklace． He thought the necklace would cost more， so he said， "Give me your necklace．" "Oh， sir． It's not worth much． Please let me keep it．

"Stop talking rubbish． Quick!"

With shaky hands， Agatha took off her necklace． As soon as the robber disappeared， she picked up her earrings and ran as fast as she could to one of her friends． In fact， the earrings cost 480 pounds and the necklace the robber had taken away cost only six pounds．

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(nèi)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(jìn)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(jìn)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(guān)系答題。如并列、對比、因果、轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系等。這些邏輯關(guān)系往往通過一些相應(yīng)的詞或短語表達(dá)出來，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用構(gòu)詞法知識答題。熟記一些前綴、后綴所表達(dá)的意思，不僅可以擴(kuò)大詞匯量，而且?guī)椭�我們猜測詞義。第4小題的詞義猜測題就是利用第1種解題方法。
