1类属法即通过类属来推测词义。如： Bananas,oranges, pineapples, coconuts and some other kinds of fruit grow in warm areas.说明：从句意我们知道pineapples和coconuts 与bananas, oranges是同类事物，同属水果(准确地说是“菠萝”和“椰子”)。2推理法即根据文章的前后语境推出生词的词义。如：Thatmuseum is so immense that it will be impossible to see all the exhibits in oneday.说明：既然一天之内看不完所有的展品，那么immense的意思应该是“很大”了。Everyoneagreed that the woman in the photo was gorgeous. It was easy to see why she hadwon the beauty contest.说明：既然“她在选美比赛中获胜”，说明她“很美丽”(gorgeous)。
