1、第三节词句猜测题一、词义猜测题(2019全国,B)For Canaan Elementarys second grade in Patchogue,N.Y.,today is speech day,and right now its Chris Palaezs turn.The 8yearold is the joker of the class.With shining dark eyes,he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.But hes nervous.“Im here to tell you tod
2、ay why you should.should.” Chris trips on the “ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many nonnative English speakers.His teacher,Thomas Whaley,is next to him,whispering support.“.Vote for.me.” Except for some stumbles,Chris is doing amazingly well.When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion,Whaley
3、invites the rest of the class to praise him.A son of immigrants,Chris started learning English a little over three years ago.Whaley recalls(回想起) how at the beginning of the year,when called upon to read,Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a p
4、ainful experience.What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes.“It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains,“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language,to feel confident enough to say,I dont know,but I want to know.”Whaley got the idea of this secondgr
5、ade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.The answer broke his heart.Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about th
6、emselves.“Boasting about yourself,and your best qualities,” Whaley says,“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了小学教师托马斯沃利通过组织学生演讲来帮助学生增强自信的教学实践。24What made Chris nervous?ATelling a story.BMaking a speech.CTaking a test.DAnswering a question
7、.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“today is speech day.Chris Palaezs turn”和第二段中的“But hes nervous.”可知,克里斯在进行竞选演说时感到非常紧张。25What does the underlined word “stumbles” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AImproper pauses.BBad manners.CSpelling mistakes.DSilly jokes.答案A解析词义猜测题。根据文章内容可知,老师借助竞选演说鼓励同学们学会赞美自己。文中克里斯帕莱兹的母语不是英语,他学英语才三年多,说话
8、不流利,而且他在演讲时非常紧张,所以说话磕磕绊绊,因此选A。26We can infer that the purpose of Whaleys project is to .Ahelp students see their own strengthsBassess students public speaking skillsCprepare students for their future jobsDinspire students love for politics答案A解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Whaley says the project is about more th
9、an just learning to read and speak in public.He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves.”和最后一段的内容可知,老师让学生参加竞选演说不仅仅是让学生们学会在公开场合演说,更重要的是让他们发现自己的长处,从而树立自信。27Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?AHumorous. BAmbitious.CCaring. DDemanding.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,当克里斯帕莱兹发表
10、竞选演说遇到问题时,老师耳语为他提示。文章最后两段解释了老师举办这项活动的初衷,我们可以判断这个老师是关心他人的人,因此选C。一、题型解读词义猜测题基本上是阅读理解每年必考的题型。词义猜测是一种阅读技巧和能力,主要考查考生在短时间内根据上下文快速猜测所指定的某一个生词、词组或者句子含义的能力,而这些词和词组往往都超出考纲范围,但在文章阅读中起到一定的作用。由此看来,对于生词的理解是否准确,直接影响着阅读理解题得分的高低,对能否取得好的高考成绩有着举足轻重的作用。词义猜测题的命题方式有:(1)What does the underlined word “.” probably mean?(2)T
11、he word “.” refers to/probably means “ ”(3)The underlined word “.” could best be replaced by “ ”(4)The underlined word “.” in Paragraph.is closest in meaning to .(5)What do you think the expression “.” stands for?(6)By saying “.” we mean .(7)“.” used in the passage can best be defined as .(8)Which o
12、f the following words can take the place of the word “.”?二、解题技巧巧用线索猜词义1根据定义、释义或同位语进行猜测有些文章,特别是科技说明文,作者通常会对一些关键词或专业术语下定义,通过阅读定义和解释部分,考生便可理解该词或短语的意思。有时,需要猜测的单词或短语后面会紧跟一个同位语,作为对前面的词或短语的解释说明。有时,文章会用冒号、破折号、括号等对某个词或短语加以解释说明。例如:Taylors swift action helped her teammates calm down.One girl called 911.Two mor
13、e ran to get the school nurse,who brought a defibrillator,an electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work.Luck stayed with them:Pariss heartbeat returned.分析:所猜测单词defibrillator后面出现了同位语“an electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work”(一个可以电击心脏使其重新工作的电子器械)来进行解释说明,我们可推知
14、其词义应为“(心脏)除颤器”。2根据构词法进行猜测英语中通过词根加词缀或两个单词合成的方式可以构成新词。因此,掌握了一定的构词知识,再结合上下文语境,也可以快速猜测词义。例如:A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,uneasiness,or worry.分析:根据构词法知识我们可知,un为否定前缀,ness为名词后缀,easy(舒适)为词根。因此,我们可知uneasiness为“不安;担忧”之意。3根据因果关系进行猜测在阅读理解文章的句子或段落中,若两个事物或两种现象之间构成因果关系,这时我们可以根据这种因果逻辑关系推断词
15、或短语的含义。表示因果关系的标志词有because,so,thus,therefore,as a result of,since,so that,so/such.that.等。例如:My son could not follow the teachers directions,he told me,and thus,Scola was disrupting the class.Didnt he know my son did not speak English yet?试题:What does the underlined word “disrupting” probably mean?ABr
16、eaking. BFollowing.CAttending. DDisturbing.分析:画线单词所在的句子出现了因果关系标志词thus,由前面的原因“我儿子听不懂老师的指示”可以推知,“他因此认为我儿子斯科拉干扰了课堂”,故选D项。其余三项都不符合这一因果逻辑关系。4根据同义或近义关系进行猜测在画线单词或短语前后有时会出现与之同义或近义的词语或结构,它往往暗示了该词或该短语的含义,这时可从熟悉的词语中推知生词或短语的含义。常见的表示相同或相近意义的词和短语有and,or,like,as well,similarly,too,also,either等。例如:The fine selectio
17、n of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid,Spain,and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St.Petersburg,Florida.试题:What does the underlined word “contributions” refer to?AArtworks. BProjects.CDonations
18、. DDocuments.分析:画线单词contributions前出现了and,可利用同义或近义关系进行猜测。and前面提到了“the fine selection of the major works”(精选的重要作品),后面说contributions来自其他机构,由并列关系可以推断出contributions应该属于works的范畴,同时文中明确表示contributions是来自museum的,故选A项。5根据反义、转折和对比关系进行猜测有些需要猜测词义的词或短语前后会出现表示转折或对比的词语,运用这些词语也可以帮助猜测词义。能体现转折、对比关系的词汇很多,常见的有but,yet,h
19、owever,while,unlike,instead (of),on the other hand,rather than,on the contrary等。例如:In the evening,rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace,with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink.Sedate though they are,rides at this time of day ar
20、e still very impressive.试题:What does the underlined word “sedate” probably mean?AWild and romantic.BSlow and peaceful.CHungry and thirsty.DActive and excited.分析:画线词语所在句子的句意为“虽然它们 ,但是在一天的这个时候骑马观赏仍然令人印象非常深刻。”由though可知,前后两句是转折关系,再结合前一句中提到的“at a more relaxed and unhurried pace”可知,应选B项,sedate意为“不慌不忙的”。6根
21、据上下文进行猜测有些词义猜测题找不到以上标志线索,这时可以利用上下文提供的情景和线索进行合乎逻辑的综合分析,进而推测词义,这也是近几年来高考考查的热点。例如:真题感悟的25题。根据文章内容可知,老师借助竞选演说鼓励同学们学会赞美自己。文中克里斯帕莱兹的母语不是英语,他学英语才三年多,说话不流利,而且他在演讲时非常紧张,所以说话磕磕绊绊,因此选A。A(2019河南实验中学模拟)Solar energy systems & power 8plants do not produce air pollution,water pollution,or greenhouse gases.9Using so

DAbnormal.答案B解析词义猜测题。根据上文中的“some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic(光电池的) cells”及画线词所在句后的“Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment.”可知hazardous意为“危险的”。故选B。2What influence can la
29、rge solar power plants have on the locations?APolluting the ground water.BProtecting the habitats of plants and animals.CDamaging the local natural balance.DAttracting birds and insects to the area.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The placement of the power plant may have longterm effects on the habitats of nati
30、ve plants and animals.”可知,大型太阳能发电厂的选址可能会对当地动植物的栖息地产生长期的影响,也就是会破坏当地自然平衡。故C项正确。3What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?ADifferent areas receive different amount of solar energy.BHow to convert solar energy into useful energy.CThe relationship between solar energy collection and the sunlight.DSome
31、 factors that influence the amount of solar energy collection.答案D解析段落大意题。根据最后一段第二、三、四句可知,在地球表面,太阳能是一种可变的和不规则的能源,阳光的数量和强度随着一天的时间和地点而变化,天气和气候条件影响每日和季节性的阳光供应。由此可知,本段主要介绍的是影响太阳能收集量的几个因素。故D项正确。B(2019湖北黄冈中学三模)A South Korean man and the 21 ducklings he has been raising as his children ever since they hatch

68、acticing selfcontrol答案D解析推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句的内容“虽然肌肉在短期内会因运动而疲惫不堪,但长期而言,它们会通过经常锻炼而增强。同样,规律的自我控制可以提高意志力。”可知,两者相比是为了说明同一个道理:长期的锻炼和自我控制的好处。所以作者把自我控制比作肌肉是为了解释自我控制的好处。故D选项正确。8To develop a good habit,which of the following does the author prefer?A“I will give up dessert and do exercise.”B“I will set three goa
69、ls this new semester.”C“I will read an English novel every month.”D“I will keep myself from any temptation.”答案C解析推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句的内容“一个接一个地制定目标是一个更好的方法。一旦养成好习惯,你就不再需要依靠意志力来维持自己的行为。最终健康的习惯将成为惯例,而且不需要做任何决定。”可知,C项“I will read an English novel every month.”是先设立目标,然后成为好习惯,作者更喜欢这种目标。故C选项正确。.完形填空(2019天津滨海七

88、析考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词has melted,故此处需要非谓语动词。在句中作结果状语,与其逻辑主语“all the ice covering the Bering Sea has melted”为主谓关系,要用其现在分词形式,故填throwing。30答案its解析考查形容词性物主代词。句意为:科学家们已经证实,几乎所有覆盖白令海的冰都已融化,使生活在其海岸周围的社区陷入混乱。分析句子可知空格处修饰shores,是指白令海的海岸,故填its。31答案normally解析考查副词。空格处修饰动词last,要用副词,故填normally。32答案the解析考查冠词。nor
89、thern Pacific Ocean为北太平洋,海洋、江河、海峡、海湾名称前一般要加定冠词the,故填the。33答案led解析考查动词的时态。分析句子可知,lead在句中为谓语,与主语之间是主动关系,根据时间状语In February可知应用一般过去时,故填led。34答案sent解析考查过去分词。分析句子可知,此处需要非谓语动词。空格处与其逻辑主语a report之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,要用send的过去分词形式作后置定语,故填sent。35答案changes解析考查名词单复数。change为可数名词,根据these可知,要用其复数形式,故填changes。36答案which/that解
90、析考查定语从句。分析句子可知, live in the Bering Sea region为定语从句,缺少引导词。先行词为many communities,指物,引导词在从句中作主语,所以用which/that引导。故填which/that。37答案formation解析考查名词。句意为:在他们的报告中,国际北极研究中心的科学家写道,虽然不是每年都会像这次一样糟糕,但如果白令海的水域保持温暖,冰的形成(概率)可能会很低。空格处作句子的主语,要填名词,form的名词形式为formation,且ice formation为固定搭配,意为“冻结成冰,成冰作用”符合句意。故填formation。38答案with解析考查介词。句意为:他们还警告社区要为以后更多具有低海浮冰和暴风雨天气状况的冬天做准备。with意为“具有,带有”,符合句意,此处作winter的后置定语。
