Reading and learning new words is about finding their meaning and use within a passage. The meaning of unknown words which you   41    in your reading sometimes can be known by their   42   , that  is, their contexts. The context of the sentence can tell us the part of speech(词性) of the   43    word.  Using the context of the paragraph to define unknown words can also be   44   .
Readers often have trouble because they understand the sentence word by word but   45   meaning   of a word, when they should identify the way it has been used in the passage.
One consideration in using the context is to determine the unknown word's part, of speech. The words     around the unknown word can give you     46    . Once you know if the word is a noun or an adjective, t is often enough for you t0    47    reading without having to stop to look up the meaning of the word. After coming  across the word a few more times, you will know its meaning more    48    than if you had just looked it up.
 Comparison clues indicate that two or more things are    49   .A comparison is possible because the known and unknown words have    50   .Words likewise show you that comparisons can be made.
51  clues tell you that an example of an unknown word follows. Example clues are usually   52   by the following words and phrases: such as, such, other, for example, and like.
To find meanings from text -based clues, you should look for clues in the sentence. A second kind      of clue does not   53    on specific words to indicate meaning. This kind of context clue is called frame-      work -based clue. Your knowledge of the meanings of surrounding words    54    you discover the meaning of a word or sentence. Common    55     and your knowledge of the parts of speech also help in defining  unknown words. For example: The angry driver shouted vehemently during his fight with the other driver. What does vehemently 56__?Youknowwhat 57 means, and you know how people 58 when they argue. From this, you can 59  out that vehemently has something to do with strong   60   or intense feeling.
