通常, 我们可以借助于语法结构、常用句型进行预测; 通过标题或主题句进行预测; 结合自己的背景知识进行预测; 根据语篇标志的提示词或者连接上下文的承接手段(Transitional Devices)来进行预测等等。
  同样, 我们也可根据所给的某一段文章的内容, 来推测上文讨论的是什么话题, 或已经谈到过什么事情。以 "Though progress on the subway has not actually stopped, it is likely that the comp1etion of the project will be delayed."为例。根据该句所提供的信息, 我们可以推测到上文讨论的内容可能是"Strikes have severely hampered the project."(罢工已经严重影响了工程的进展); 而不可能是 "The boss has promised to give his men a pay rise."(老板同意给工人增加工资。)

  例5:1995年6月的四级试卷第31题(文章详见第十二章 历年……集粹(三))
  We can infer from the passage that _____
  A) English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats.
  B) People in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats.
  C) People in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats
  D) Modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living

  本题考核学生根据上下文进行推断的能力。文章中说英国人在住房间题上与当今世界上许多国家的居民有着不同的看法, 他们反对住高层公寓, 文章中还列举了许多理由说明这一点, 而且指出这种习惯很难改变。既然英国人与许多国家的居民不同, 反对住高层公寓, 那么世界上许多国家的居民便是不反对住高层公寓, 因此正确的答案是选项B。可是只有大约26%的考生答对了本题,大部分人只注意个别句子的意思, 未能理解文章中隐含的意义。

  The word "conservation"has a thrifty (节俭)meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourse1ves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had this foo1ish idea that the treasures were "1imitless"and "inexbaustible". Most of the citizens or earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a 1iving body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or 1ater be harmful to a11 the others.
  Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the schoo1 work; scientific forestry was a new idea:timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river f1oods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper 1and use; even the word "conservation" had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.
  For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone's
