在备考托福阅读的过程中总有一些问题不是方法和技巧就能解决的问题，这就需要的经验。北京新航道小编就各位分享一些经验。

　　阅读中遇到生词，对理解无大碍者可一跃而过。只有难以推测的生词才借助词典。但过多依赖词典会打断阅读思路，影响速度及理解，这就需要我们学会猜词，这好像也是我们从学习英语以来，一直在学习的一项技能。

　　说到猜词，其实有多种方法，下面介绍几种常用且准确性高的方法。

　　一、利用上下文线索猜测词义。

　　1.根据同义、反义关系猜词。

　　案例：Today's teenagers seem to be more liberal in their ideas than their _______ grandparents.

　　A. freethinking B. traditional

　　C. old D. happy

　　分析：traditional与liberal意思相反，故选B。

　　The northern spotted owl is the only species whose survival has been definitively proven to depend on old growth. For at least a dozen other species, ranging from the marten to the pileated woodpecker, a reservoir of old growth habitat may also be essential. But using radio collars, researcher Eric Forsman followed foraging flights from owl nests in the broken tops of ancient Douglas first and fed the data into a computer. The computer-generated maps revealed an overwhelming preference for hunting in forests over two hundred years old, even if to do so the owls have to travel to the limits of their ranges, bypassing plenty of slightly younger forest en route to a kill. The owl needs old growth, and lots of it. But he probably won’t get it.

　　二、利用构词法猜测词义。

　　此法包括利用前、后缀及合成词猜测词义。

　　1. 用前、后缀猜测词义。

　　英语中的前缀、后缀构词颇多，并且特定的前缀、后缀往往表示特定的含义，把握住这一点，可起到“以不变应万变”的效果。

　　案例：He had been overworking and fell ill at last.

　　分析：overwork是由前缀over加动词构成，over有“超过，过于”之意，overwork意思是“工作过多，劳累过度”。再如，overburden负担过重，overcharge要价过高，overdo做得过分。

　　英语中常用的前缀还有：

　　mis-错误：misfortune不幸;mislead误导;mismanage处理不当

　　mid-中央：midnight半夜;midway半路

　　under-低于：underdone半生不熟的;underestimate低估

　　anti-反对：antibody抗体;anticyclone反气旋;antifreeze防冻剂

　　下面划线单词为常见后缀派生词：

　　1) You must stop dreaming and face reality.(-ty为名词的标志)

　　2) The country is trying to popularize education. (-ize为及物动词的标志，再如realize, modernize)

　　2.利用合成词猜测词义。

　　案例：Family members take turns choosing a special activity for the evening, and everyone partakes in for fun.

　　分析：根据短语构成及上下文意思看，此处partakes in相当于takes part in。

　　再如break out-outbreak(名词“爆发”)，set out-outset(名词“起始”)，come in-income(名词“收入”)

　　通过上面的备考托福阅读经验，相信考生们自己心中已经有了自己的方法。北京新航道小编预祝各位考试取得优异的成绩，早日进入理想学府。
