利用上下文线索同义词反义词关系逻辑关系推断
在英语阅读理解中，经常会遇到一些生词或不熟悉的短语。这时，我们不需要慌张，因为很多时候我们可以通过上下文线索、词根词缀知识、同义词反义词关系、定义解释性语句、逻辑关系推断以及生活常识和背景知识来推测这些词的意义。
1. 利用上下文线索
上下文是推测词义的重要线索。例如，在一个句子中，如果有一个生词，我们可以查看这个词前后的词语，尝试理解它们之间的关系，从而推测出这个词的大致意思。
2. 利用词根、词缀知识
英语中很多单词都是由词根和词缀组成的。了解常见的词根和词缀的含义，可以帮助我们推测出生词的大致意思。例如，如果我们知道“bio”表示“生物”，那么“biology”就很容易推测为“生物学”。
3. 利用同义词、反义词关系
在文章中，作者有时会使用同义词或反义词来解释或对比某个概念。通过识别这些关系，我们可以推测出生词的意思。例如，如果文章中提到“happy”和“joyful”，那么我们可以推测“joyful”的意思是“快乐的”。

有时文章中会直接给出某个生词的定义或解释。这些定义或解释通常是理解生词的关键。例如，如果文章中说“A barrier is something that prevents progress or movement.”，那么我们就可以清楚地知道“barrier”的意思是“障碍”。
5. 利用逻辑关系推断
在句子或段落中，词语之间的关系通常是逻辑上的关系。通过理解这些关系，我们可以推测出生词的意思。例如，在句子“He is as tall as his brother.”中，我们可以推测“as tall as”的意思是“和...一样高”。
6. 利用生活常识和背景知识
有时，我们需要利用自己的生活常识和背景知识来推测生词的意思。例如，在阅读关于科学研究的文章时，我们可能会遇到一些专业的术语。通过回想我们学过的科学知识，我们可以推测这些术语的大致意思。
