新课标、新高考、新教材背景下,高考英语聚焦于语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和学习能力的学科核心素养,侧重对学生综合应用英语能力的考察,这一特点在近三年高考英语试题中尤为突出。其中,学生对于“熟词生义”的处理能够衡量出综合语言能力,如果对“熟词生义”这一现象缺乏敏感性,只停留在“熟词熟义”层面,无法准确识别出该单词在文中的应有之义,就会导致对段落、篇章的理解产生偏差。为助力学生突破这一难题,笔者对2021—2023 年高考试卷中的“熟词生义”用法进行了整理、分析并做出预测,提出了新的备考策略,供广大师生参考。

二、分析与建议

1.判断词性,转换词义

阅读试题时,如果碰到与常用词性不一致的“熟词”,师生需要首先判断“熟词”在文中的词性,通过阅读上下文,对词义进行转化。

常见的词性转化有:动词名词化(stand小摊贩、drive 驱动力、produce 农产品、pick 精华、regard尊重、bite 咬下去的一口);名词动词化(picture描绘蓝图、spring 跳跃、spot 发现);形容词名词化(some 一些人或事、beauty 美人或美景、best最好的人或事);形容词副词化(some 大约);名词形容词化(umbrella 综合的)等。

本文第一章节中2023 年题1.9,2022 年题3.8.11.14.16.18.19.20.21.23.32.33.34.40属于此类情况。

2.反向构词,拓展词义

虽然新课标中仅有3 500 个词汇,但高考命题绝不局限于这3 500 词。试题的命制是由这3 500词汇拓展而成,可见构词法学习的重要性。一个单词一般由前缀(prefix)、词根(root)和后缀(suffix)这三个部分组成。前缀改变词义,词根决定单词的核心意思,后缀改变词性。所以,如果能够保留词根进行反向推导,将“生义”简化成“熟义”,再结合语境,适度拓展就能够很大程度上灵活解决“熟词生义”的问题。

本文第一章节中2023 年题3.4,2022 年题3与题30 属于此类情况。以2022 年题3.30 为例,具体分析如下:

3.Short writings missed as a result of anexcusedabsence will be accepted.

由于excused adj.→excuse v.(原谅,宽恕;辩解,开脱;准许……离开;同意免除),an excused absence 可以理解成“经过(老师)批准的缺课”,整句话就能转换成“因为一次请假缺课造成短文写作未交(的情况)是可以接受的。”

30.Admissionto lectures is free.

由于admission n.→admit v.(允许进入,承认),整句话可以理解成“参加讲座是免费的”,那么“admission”就可以解读为“入场费”。

3.借助搭配,想象词义

高考试题中不乏地道的说明文,此类文章涵盖的专业词汇多、涉及范围广,这给学生的阅读理解造成了不小的困扰。针对专业术语中的“熟词生义”,师生可以借助词组搭配,结合文章话题,发挥想象进行推敲。

本文第一章节中2023 年题7.8.10,2022 年题1.2.4.5.6.8.11.12.13.14.15.19.23.28.31.34.36.37.38.39.40.41 属于此类情况。以下,对2022 年题36 与题38 进行具体分析:

36.First announced in April,2016,the tax which applies to soft drinks containing more than 5g of sugar per 100ml,wasintroducedto help reduce childhood obesity(肥胖).

38.However,somehighsugar brands,like Classic Coca Cola,haveacceptedthe sugar tax and are refusing to change for fear of upsetting consumers.

通过句子成分划分,可知36 题中主句为“the tax was introduced to help reduce childhood obesity”,考虑到本文主旨大意为“通过征收饮料含糖税收的方式来降低儿童肥胖率”,was introduced 在文章应转意成“被实施、被运用”。根据上文背景(税收的实施)与下文“因为担心会引发消费者不满而拒绝改变”,得知38 题中对于“high sugar brands(含糖量高的饮料品牌)”是被动接受这项税收条款的,所以accept 可以理解成“忍受,容忍”。

三、预测与备考策略

纵观近几年的高考试题,“熟词生义”现象看似零散,其实有规律可循。

1.“熟词生义”现象多出现在说明文、议论文或夹叙夹议文中,尤其集中在高考阅读的C 篇与D 篇。因此,在试题解答中,如遇到此类文章,师生应提高警惕,敏锐辨别“熟词生义”,避免惯性思维。

2.通过总结分析,不难发现有许多相同的“熟词”反复出现,这类词未来在高考中出现的机率很大,如“run(发布;印刷),consume(吃;喝;饮),tell(看出;准确判断),class(阶级;组别)”等。师生需高度重视,注意积累,熟练掌握此类“熟词”。

3.此外,许多“熟词”还存在多种“生义”。未来高考可能会考察同一“熟词”的不同“生义”。师生应深度挖掘,举一反三,灵活掌握此类“熟词”在不同语境、情境和场合下的多层“生义”,示例如下:

本文第一章节中2022 年题14 与题19 中的“pilot”一词属于此类情况,考察的生义分别为“实验性的”和“领航;驾驶(船只)”。此外,“pilot”还有可能用作动词,出现“引导”生义。

还有一些“熟词”,如“charge”考查过“要价”生义,还有可能出现“冲锋;感染力”等生义;“regard”考察过“尊敬”生义,还有可能出现“关注;问候”等生义。

总之,词语的本意离不开语境,不同语境会赋予同一单词不同含义。师生需要广泛阅读,不断积累、掌握单词活用技巧,实现在“熟词”本义的基础上,进行合理且有逻辑的联想,使语篇语境符合实际,准确理解文章内涵,破除“熟词生义”带来的障碍。
