13、 It was an eccentric( 怪僻的 )farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident.
14、I hadnt the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go. The underlined phrase make out in the first paragraph means _. A. expectB. understandC. see clearlyD. hear clearly 根据第四句话的意思，我们知道 “Even then” 实际上是指前文的 “I understood anything ” ，因此这句话可以理解为“Even when I understood anything, all (that) I
15、could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident” 。显然，“make out”是被用来取代前面的“understood” ，以避免重复，它们应该是近义或同义词，所以，B 选项可能是正确的。精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 2 页，共 4 页例题 2： One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information.

16、ite the reverse, business, politics, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Which of the following can be used in place of “Quite the reverse”? A.

17、 information ”与“ imperfect information ”这两个意思相反的词组，我们可以推断出quite the reverse 这个短语应该是表示它前后两个句子的转折关系。只有D 选项符合这种意思，因此，可以考虑它是正确答案。技巧 7 根据句子结构进行判断。例题 1：Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior ( 行为 )is sui
18、table (合适 ) at various ages. The underlined word onerefers to _. A. a societyB. AmericaC. a placeD.

19、heorem (定理 ).

To cause difficulty in understanding. C. To provide a person with an explanation.D. To limit people s imaginat
21、ion. 在“the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds ”这个句子中， 并列连词 and 起着很重要的提示作用，因为它意味着被它连接起来的两个动词在意义上有一致性。“had beaten the finest mathematical minds ”可以理解为“击败了一些顶级的数学家”，而这个定理之所以可以“击败一些顶级的数学家”不外乎是因为它太难了，因此我们可以顺理成章地把baffle 与 difficult联系在一起。我们可以试图这样理解这句话“这个定理难住并击败了一些顶级的数学家” 。四个选项中B 选
22、项最接近这个意思，所以，它是一个正确的可能性最大的选项。又如：例题 3：A child s birthday party doesn t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months. What does the underlined word “hassle”(paragraph 1) probably mean? A. a party designed by specialists B. a
23、 plan requiring careful thought C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble D. a demand made by guests 根据“ A child s birthday party doesnt have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun” ，这两个分句之间的转折关系我们可以推断出“ hassle”与“ fun”应该是一对反义词。A、B、D 三个选项与这个判断都不吻合，只有C 选项与这个判断比较一致，因此，C 选项是唯一可能正确的答案。技巧 8 根据文章的背景进
24、行判断。如：JINTAN, JIANGSU: The 20 students 18 boys and 2 girls had a thousand reasons to be proud of themselves. They had just climbed their way to the top rung(阶梯 )out of 4 million students taking part in the Fifth National Hua Luogeng Gold Cup Mathematics Contest ( 竞赛 )on Tuesday evening. The 20 gold

26、 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 3 页，共 4 页A. work outB. add upC. guessD. study 文段叙述的是第五届全国华罗庚杯数学竞赛的获奖情况，划线部分的“them”指的是“ many of the problems ” ，因此，根据文段所叙述的竞赛这一背景，可以断定划线部分的动词应该是计算的意思，只有A 选项符合文意，因此，是可能正确的答案。技巧 9 Context 上下文：利用语境及前后的提示来猜测词义例题： 1 Tom can t find his sneakers. A.Money B. bowls C. shoes Tom can t fi
27、nd his white sneakersA.Money B. bowls C. shoes Tom can t play tennis now because he cant find his white sneakers. A.Money B. bowls C. shoes 【解析】 sneakers 中学课本中未出现过的新词。根据英语语法，A。B、C 代入句子中都正确。作为名词的A、B、C代人句中意思也说得通。但在speakers前加一个修饰语white 就成为 Tom can t find his white sneakers那么A 则可去掉， 答案则可能是B 和 C。 而在这句的前面
28、再加一层意思，这就是： Tom can t play tennis now because he can t find his white sneakers. 这样一看就知道bowls(碗）与打网球没有什么联系，而shoes与打网球却有密切联系，不穿鞋怎么打网球呢？ C 就成为唯一正确选项。例题： 2Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts
29、of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees.

30、rtain countries. The underlined words geothermal energy in the third paragraph mean _. A. renewable sourceB. underground source C. heat inside the earthD. temperature of the earth 这一段讲的是“renewable energy sources”的开发问题，并且举例“geothermal energy”是其中的一种，接下来文章进一步解释 “geothermal energy”的形成及开发利用的方式。A、 B、D 三个选
31、项指代的范围都太大，与下文对 “geothermal energy”的解释不完全一致，因此都可以排除。下文在解释了地内温度升高的一般规律后接着说“To get the heat, water is pumped(压 ;抽)down into the rocks and back up to the surface” ，并且说“ Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.”因此，可以确定“geothermal energy”指的是“地热资源” ，所以 C 选项是正确的。例题：3 Many people say, “I am
32、much younger than my mother - or my father - was at my age. ” No one says “Act your age” any more. Weve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways. “Act your age”means people should _. A. be active when they are old B. do the right thing at the right age C. show respect f
33、or their parents young or old D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age “Weve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways” 这句话的意思是 “看到老年人表现出年轻人的行为举止，我们(现在 )不再感到奇怪” ，即“现在不再(像以前那样 )要求老年人的行为举止与他们的年龄相符”。这句话实际上是以老年人为例，对“No one says Act your age any more”这句话进行解释，B 选项符合这句话的意思，因此，是正确选项。以上所叙只是推测、判断词义的一些基本规律。同学们在解这类题时一定要注意不要脱离语境。有些常用词在特定的上下文中，或专业性文章中，具有特殊的或专门的词义。在解这类题时，必须仔细地研读划线部分的上下文，有时阅读的视线还要扩大一些。如果离开特定的语言环境来理解生词意义，必然选错答案。要提高这方面的阅读能力，最主要的还是靠自己进行大量的阅读，在阅读实践中不断总结经验，找出其中的规律，并且融会贯通地运用它们指导自己的阅读。精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 4 页，共 4 页
