排除法

如果我們認識考題中的目標詞，但選項給出的單詞或釋義中存在不熟悉的單詞，這時可以用排除法。可在生詞中找到熟悉的部分，分析詞綴、詞根，從而得出單詞的大概詞義。

United States citizens are now enjoying better dental health,as shown by the decreasing occurring rate of tooth decay.

Q:Which of the following is similar in meaning to"occurring rate"in article?

A.treatment

B.consequence

C.incidence

D.misfortune

occur意為“發生”，為常用詞，occurring rate則為“發生率”。treat有“治療、對待”的意思，-ment一般構成名詞后綴，不難得出treatment就是“治療”的意思。consequence是“后果”的意思。misfortune從詞根、詞干方面進行考察，可以猜出詞義是“不幸”。去偽存真，答案就出來了。

例證法

作者常用一些例子來說明問題，因為恰當的例子可以更清楚地表達作者的意圖，這也給讀者在猜測生詞方面提供了證據。讀者根據自己的常識，把這些例子進行綜合分類，就能很容易地猜出作者在舉例時所用的生詞的意思。英語中常用來引出例子的詞語有for example、such as、like等。

You can select any of these periodicals,like Times,Newsweek and Reader's Digest for your supplementary readings.

Q:The the underline word"periodical"in the article most probably means？

A.a period of time

B.magazine

C.institute

D.movie

斜體的三個單詞或單語，我們都知道是美國著名的三本雜志，這些雜志正是periodical的三個例子，所以讀者便能猜出該詞的意思是“雜志、期刊”。

推斷法

運用邏輯過渡詞，辨認單詞在上下文中的邏輯關系；在連貫的語篇中句與句的關系，利用例如空間對比、順序、因果、類比等關系猜測詞義。

One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information.Quite the reverse,business and life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information.Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors,as best poker players.But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance,and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess,not poker.

Q:Which of the following can be used in place of"quite the reverse"?

A.quite right

B.true enough

C.most unlikely

D.just the opposite

對"quite the reverse"前后的信息進行邏輯分析，就會發現前后兩個句子意思相反，是對比關系，因此選出正確答案。
