5、h hour. At 9:30am, the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33am, a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes.That is by design. Bellevue, a fast

8、 the signals changes.(就像交通本身一样,信号灯的时间也会变化)”可知,第一段主要讲述的是信号灯的时间会灵活变化;“That is by design.”意为“那是有意为之”,由此可推知,That指代第一段中“信号灯的灵活时间”。故选C项。【对点模拟练】1Fermats Last Theorem(定理), first put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest
9、 mathematical minds, including a French woman scientists who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. 65.

10、A. To encourage people to raise questions. B. To cause difficulty in understanding. C. To provide a person with an explanation. D. To limit peoples imagination.【答案】B【解析】由句中不难看出Fermat的定理使得最具有数学头脑的科学家绞尽脑汁(beat),并且在句中beaten和baffled处于同等的并列关系,根据这一信息可以推出baffle表示“使困惑、难倒、难以理解”的意思。【考点精准说】2-对比法利用文中的反义词以及表对比关系
11、的词(组)猜测词义。对比是描述,说明事物的常用方式。在对比中,对比的事物是互为相反的,因此根据反义或对比关系可从已知推出未知。利用反义词来说明生词的意义,如反义词hot and cold, perfect and imperfect,甚至前、后句为肯定与否定或是与不是等,在句内词与词之间,在段内句与句之间的关系上起着互为线索的作用。表示对比的信号词有yet, but, while, though, however, otherwise, on the one hand.on the other hand, for one thing.for another thing, instead of等

14、who order large portions(份)”可知,现有的研究认为:你应该避免和体重较重、点大份饭菜的人一起吃饭。后半句认为,你真正应该避免的是the beanpoles with big appetites。由contrary to可推断出,画线词和heavier people(超重的人)相反,结合选项,D选项(瘦瘦高高的人)正好和heavier people正好相反。故选D。【对点模拟练】2A childs birthday party doesnt have to be a hassle ; it can be a basket of fun, according to Bet

20、asonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.62. What is the meaning of “the organic trend” as the words are used in the text?A. Growing
21、interest in organic food.B. Better quality of organic food.C. Rising market for organic food.D. Higher prices of organic food.【答案】A【解析】由Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying something可以推断出,越来越多的顾客像Gold一样开始购买有机食物,其实也就是对这类食物产生了越来越浓厚的兴趣。答案为A。【考点精准说】4-语境推断法任何一篇文章中的句子在内容上都不是绝对孤立的,都跟句子所在的段落及整
22、整篇文章有关。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,是阅读过程中的一大关键,这也是近年来高考考查的热点。1根据对比关系猜测词义在一个句子或段落中,有对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述,我们可以根据生词的反义词猜测其词义。表示对比关系的词汇和短语主要有:unlike, not, but, however, despite, in spite of, in contrast 等。表示对比关系的句子结构:while 引导的并列句。例如:A childs birthday party doesnt have to be a hassle; it can be a basket
23、of fun.What does the underlined word hassle (paragraph 1) probably mean?A. a party designed by specialistsB. a plan requiring careful thoughtC. a situation causing difficulty or troubleD. a demand made by guests根据对比关系,这里hassle 和 a basket of fun 是相反的意义,很容易判断理解题的答案为C。2根据比较关系猜测词义同对比关系相反,比较关系表示意义上的相似关系。
24、表示比较关系的词和短语主要有:similarly, like, just as, also, as well as 等。例如:Green loves to talk, and his brothers are similarly loquacious.该句中副词similarly表明短语loves to talk和loquacious 之间的比较关系,其意义相近。由此我们可推断出loquacious的意思是健谈的。3根据因果关系猜测词义在句子或段落中,若两个事物现象之间构成因果关系,我们可以根据这种逻辑关系推测生词词义。例如:I feel that since you are my super
25、ior , it would be presumptuous of me to tell you what to do .The word presumptuous in the middle of the passage is closest in meaning to _ .Afull of respectBtoo confident and rudeClacking in experienceDtoo shy and quiet根据since 引导的原因状语从句的内容(既然你是我的上司),我们可以推断这里presumptuous的意思是:冒失的,放肆的意思,后半句的意思是:我告诉你怎么做
26、会是一种放肆/冒失的行为。对应的理解题答案为:B。Pruning is important because it encourages the growth of tender shoots, or young leaves.根据原因状语从句的内容,我们可以判断Pruning的意思是:修剪(树枝等)的意思。4根据同义、近义、并列、替代、说明等关系猜测词义在句子或段落中,我们可以利用熟悉的词语,根据语言环境所表示的关系推断生词词义。例如:William Shakespeare said. The web of our life is of a mingled yarn(纱线),good and
27、ill together.The underlined word mingled in the last paragraph most probably means .Asimple Bmixed Csad Dhappy句中good and ill together 更具体地说明了 a mingled yarn的意义,据此我们不难推测mingled的意思是:混合的,交织的,答案是:B。Is it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs ? The answer is yes, according to the researchers
28、 at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers.根据and three other medical centers 这种并列关系,我们很容易推断出:Johns Hopkins 是一家医疗中心。【真题对点析】4 (2019江苏卷)In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone

36、A decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors centers.可知,美国国家航空和宇宙航行局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。一位深思熟虑的官员把其中

Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “stern” in paragraph 5?A. patientB. angryC
38、. respectfulD. afraid. 【答案】B 【解析】词义猜测题。下文“Youre foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled(斥责)back at him.意思是“你真傻,Poppy”她说。“我有我的骄傲,” Poppy回答。“错误的骄傲,”她狠狠地回击他。由此可知She became stern with Poppy.意思是她对Poppy很生气。“stern”意思是生气的,A. patient有耐心的;B. angry生气的;C. respectf
39、ul尊敬的;D. afraid.害怕的,故选B。【考点精准说】4-构词推断法阅读中常常会遇到一些由熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词。掌握构词法对猜测词义很有帮助。如:unforeseeable.这个词,可以根据构词法把它拆成un, fore, see , able;其中 see 是词根,fore是“先,前,预”的含义,un是否定,able是“能的,可的”,因此unforeseeable是“未能预见到的”意思。1根据前缀猜测词义例如:Do you have any strong opinion on co-educational or single-sex schools?根据词根educationa
40、l (教育的),结合前缀co-(共同,一起),我们便可以猜出co-educational的意思是:男女同校教育的意思。2根据后缀猜测词义例如:Its a quiet, comfortable hotel overlooking (俯瞰) the bay in an uncommercialized Cornish fishing village on Englands most southerly point后缀 -ise/ize意思是使成为;使化,结合词根commercial(商业的),不难猜出 uncommercialized 的意思是:未被商业化的。3根据复合词的各部分猜测词义例如:Go
41、od tool design is important in the prevention of overuse injuries. Well-designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward(别扭的)hand positions.Well-designed 或许是个生词,但我们分析该词的结构后,就能推测出其含义。它由well (好,优秀)和design (设计)两部分组成,合在一起便是设计精巧的意思。We live in a technological societ
42、y where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people that craft (手艺) no longer exists.根据合成词中的mass(大量的)和produce(生产),我们可以推测 mass-produce的意思是:大批量生产;规模生产的意思。【真题对点练】5(2020北京高考真题) Certain forms of AI are indeed becoming ubiquitous.

56、 the various kinds of forbidden fruit that come out of book bags. Now was the spring of the water pistol.(在缺席了15年之后,我又回到了教书的地方,处理从书包里掏出的各种各样的“禁果”。现在流行的是水枪)”以及第三段中“Please bring that pistol to me, I said. Im going to put it in my Grandmas Box.(“请把那支水枪给我,”我说。“我要把它放在我奶奶的盒子里。”)”由此可知,作者与学生进行对话的目的是收集水枪。故选A
57、。2词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I would return the belonging”结合上文提到作者把学生带到学校的玩具称为“禁果”,且作者的“盒子”里装的就是“禁果”,所以作者等到这些禁果的拥有者在一天结束的时候出现,然后就会归还他们的物品。由此可知,划线词意思为“禁果的拥有者”。故选D。3细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“From then on instead of coming to ask their possessions back, the students would say, Thats okay. Put it in your Grandmas Box for Gordo
58、n.(从那时起,学生们不再来要求归还他们的财物,而是说:“没关系。把它放在你“奶奶给戈登的盒子”里)”由此可知,学生们在得知了戈登的出生后,他们不再索要玩具。故选D。4推理判断题。根据文章中作者要收集学生们从书包里掏出的各种各样的“禁果”,说明作者对待学生很严格;同时作者又想出了“奶奶的盒子”这个的方法来收集学生们的玩具,说明作者很聪明,由此可推知,作者是一个严格而聪明的老师。故选B。Passage2(2019新课标全国卷III,B)For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration f

109、. So inquiry is not just asking questions, it is questioning into something. It has the quality of getting into something, going deeper, so you can see what you havent been able to see before.When you begin an inquiry, you are deliberately setting out to search for what you dont know. You have to ha
110、ve the confidence to say that you might be able to figure it out for yourself. And in that process, you get a sense of real excitement and energy. That energy is both part of, and contributes to, what we often call engagement. But in order to use inquiry to answer your question, you have to become g
111、ood at knowing what you dont know. I would argue that thats exactly the opposite of what happens in schools. Classrooms focus on what you do know (or are supposed to know) and leave you unprepared to deal with the things you dont know.In some ways, we are all surrounded by a bubble of the known. Whe
112、n you know something, you identify how your model of the world fits with and explains what you sec. Living in the bubble of the known is comfortable and comforting. You see what you know, and you know what you see. But to do inquiry, you have to get good at always looking for the boundaries of your
113、knowledge, and at the limitations and contradictions within what is known. That is what scientists do. They are always looking for the limits, the boundaries and the points at which their theories fail to explain the world. Scientists, basically. are always looking for that “door” from the known to
114、the unknown, where they can press forth(向前)and push and, in a sense, expand the bubble of the known. Inquiry is the action you take when you deliberately challenge the limits of your knowledge.24What is the passage mainly about?AWhat inquiry is all about.BThe way to make an inquiry.CThe importance o
115、f inquiry.DThe effect of inquiry.25What does the author intend to tell about inquiry in Paragraph 1?AThe word has existed for a long time.BThe word means asking many questions.CThe word didnt come from the English language.DThe word means exploring further into something.26What should you know well
116、to do inquiry?AWhat you already know.BWhat you dont know.CWhether you are confident.DWhether you are excited.27What does the underlined word where refer to?AIn the real world.BWithin the bubble.CIn the world of the unknown.DAt the door to the unknown.【答案】24A25D26B27D【分析】这是一篇说明文。对“调查”一词进行了说明和探究。【详解】1
