托福閱讀中遇到生詞考生常會采取的一個應對方法是猜詞義。有人會說這種猜測有什么意義，命中率肯定很低。實際上并非如此，通過判斷詞匯上下文中的一些線索，很多時候我們其實都能較為準確的猜出生詞的大意。下面小編就通過實例為大家具體講解。

1、根據(jù)同義、反義關系猜詞

如果該詞前或后出現(xiàn)的內容提示它們是反義關系。(表示相反概念的詞語如下rather than，instead，unlike，contrast，on the contrary.)

例如:

the main conflict in the novel is between a mother who places a highvalue on hard work and honor and a son who repudiates his mother's valuesinstead preferring the easier path to fortune and celebrity

the word repudiates in the passage in closest in meaning to __

A、refuses to accept B、lives up to C、tries to understand D、makes the best of

假如repudiates我們不認識，從后面的小詞 instead 這個詞判定兒子和媽媽價值觀念是相反的，由此信息看四個選項，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)只有A選項帶有否定的意味

2、根據(jù)句意或段落文章的上、下文猜測

(1)、后面的句子或短詞單詞在解釋前面的詞。(常見的標志詞:contribute to，be responsible for，account for，since ，therefore ，for，because，in which等)

his big break came with the novel so big(1924) ,which wasawarded the pulitzer in literature.

the word break in this sentence could best be replaced by ___

A、rupture B、revelation C、opportunity D、rest

which was awarded the pulitzer in literature告訴我們一定考查的是正態(tài)度，所以答案不可能是AD，所以應該選C、opportunity 是一種有利的狀態(tài)或合適的時機。

(2)后面的和此詞為并列關系。(并列關系詞如下：and not only ..but also as…as and both … andeither… or neither… nor.)
