  1)He had been overworking and fell ill at last.

  overwork是由前缀over-加动词构成,over有“超过、过于”之意,overwork意思是“工作过多,劳累过度”。再如,overburden负担过重,overcharge要价过高,overdo做得过分。英语中常用的

  前缀还有:

  mis-错,误:misfortune不幸;mislead误导;mismanage处理不当

  mid-中央:midnight半夜;midway半路

  under-低于:underdone半生不熟的;underestimate低估

  anti-反对:antibody抗体;anticyclone反气旋;antifreeze防冻剂

  下面划线单词为常见后缀派生词:

  1)You must stop dreaming and face reality.(-ty为名词的标志)

  2)The country is trying to popularize education. (-ize为及物动词的标志,再如realize, modernize)

  2、利用合成词猜测词义。

  Family members take turns choosing a special activity for the evening, and everyone partakes in for fun.

  根据短语构成及上下文意思看,此处partakes in相当于takes par...
