GCT英語備考指導:如何由"詞"推"意"

　　GCT英語閱讀答題中，我們常常會遇到一些不認識的字或詞，那么面對這種情況，我們該如何應對呢?下面為大家總結了幾種方法，希望能對大家的復習備考有所幫助。

　　1 根據語境推斷括號中詞語的意思

　　1. The woman and the children were skilful in boats too, but there were usually several of them in a large boat called (umiak)。

　　2. The doctor said that if a person ate even one leaf of the (hemlock) plant, he would die, because the plant is a deadly poison.

　　3. Although dogs and cats often have large families, rabbits are famous for the size of their (litters)， which sometimes number more than twelve bunnies at one time.

　　4. Mark became (hysterical) when his basketball team won, and he did not calm down for several days.

　　5. With mud from head to toe, flowers still clutched in his hand, john looked so (ludicrous) that we couldn?t help laughing.

　　6. A bee collects (nectar) not in its own stomach but in a kind of shopping bag called the honey sac similar to the one ants have.

　　9. Jane was (intrigued) by the behavior of animals; she could sit for hours observing a bird making a nest or an ant carrying a leaf.

　　10. Some chimps are very independent and appear to be the superior members of a group; others seem to be ruled by the leaders and are quite (submissive)。
