语法填空
专题训练（二）巧用派生词，做好完形填空
技巧点拨：
动词前后、形容词前后可有副词，这时，如果所给词为形容词，则需将其变为副词。如果所给词为名词或动词，可先将其变为形容词，再加后缀-ly。另外，在答题时还要考虑副词级的变化。名词前面一般可有形容词修饰语,连系动词后接形容词作表语。如果所需词为形容词时,还要考虑形容词级的变化。如：
(1)The little girl is
extremely (extreme）eager to know the result of the exam.
(2)Your composition is
badly (bad)organized. Please do your writing exercise
more attentively (attend)next time.
(3)What，s the
longest
(length)river in the world?
(4)The
stronger
(strength)we become, the more modest we should be.
(5)He was very tired after doing this for a whole day, but he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” higher (height).
常用形容词、副词后缀
形容词+ly—副词 careful carefully
名词+ful—形容词 hope hopeful
名词+y—形容词 luck lucky
名词+ous—形容词 mountain mountainous
名词+al/ial—形容词 emotion emotional
动词+able/(s)ible—形容词 forgettable forget
access accessile
动词+tive—形容词 attract attractive

专题训练（一）
阅读中的猜词技巧（2）
对比法
方法点拨：
有的文章作者为了增强表达效果，会用一对反义词揭示事物的不同点，形成鲜明的对比，这时只要把握其中的一词，就不难推出另一词的含义;有的根据上下句之间表示转折或对比关系的连接词，就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义来确定另一句的含义。这种句子多半有unlike, although, but, yet, while, on the contrary, on the other hand, instead of, rather than等信息词。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比的意义。如：
(1)Is he
intelligent
or stupid?
(2)Unlike his brother, who is truly a handsome person, Hogertty is quite
homely
.
1.解析： 根据stupid可推断出intelligent的意思为“聪明的”。
答案:
聪明的
2.解析： 此句中的unlike一词暗示了Hogertty和他的兄弟的长相不同，他的兄弟是个handsome(英俊的)人，所以Hogertty一定是一个homely(不英俊)的人。
答案： 不英俊的
◆活学活用
（一）利用上述猜测词义方法，猜出下列各句划线部分的意思。
1.Unlike the United States where many different nationalities make up the population, Japan，s population is quite
homogeneous
.
2.Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius
to sell it.
3.Andrew is one of the most
supercilious
man I know. His brother, in contrast, is quite humble and modest.
4.A good supervisor can recognize instantly the
adept
workers from the unskilled ones.
5.Mother was tall，fat and middle-aged. The principal of the school was an older woman，almost as
plump as mother，and much shorter.
A. healthy
B. thin
C. slim
D. fat
1.解析：与many different nationalities相反，故为“单一民族的”。
答案：
单一民族的
2.解析： 由but可知genius是与fool（蠢才）相对的，由此推测其意为“有才能的人”、“天才”。
答案：
有才能的人,天才
3.解析： in contrast 提醒我们supercilious与 humble and modest是对比关系，由此可以猜出其意义。
答案：
目空一切,傲慢的
4.解析： 通读全句不难看出，说话者是把熟练工人与非熟练工人进行对比，由此可知adept的词义是“熟练的”。
答案：
熟练的
5.解析： 作者把学校的校长和他的母亲相比，其中older对应middleaged，shorter对应tall，所以plump对应fat。
答案：
D
（二）阅读下列短文,按要求完成读写任务。
(2009年重庆高考)
How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病).Believing my career(职业生涯)was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn，t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn，t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”
