.C答题方略技法4根据构词法猜测词义很多情况下，我们在阅读理解中遇到的生词是派生词或合成词。根据这些词的前缀、后缀、词根或所构成合成词的意思，熟练运用构词法来判断生词的含义是一种十分快速且有效的阅读技巧。经典感悟[典例4]

B．Add-on.C．Check-in.

D．Take-over.答题微点[解题思路]观察单词declutter含有前缀de-，

前缀de-来自拉丁语，意为“awayfrom”，这个前缀有“除去”“取消”“离开”以及“否定”“非”等意思。结合语境，根据画线词后面的“stepawayfrom”可推测出词义，画线词表示“清除，

清理”。构词法能够不借助阅读上下文便能够大体猜出词义，然后再结合语境猜测，这样事半功倍，而且具有双重保险，大大提高了解题效率和正确率。所以我们主张：可以利用构词法的，一定先利用构词法，再结合语境解题。[自主解答]
