14、n joined the Welty party.When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi，” Welty said.“I didnt know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine.By the time the group got up to leave,
15、it was pouring outside.Weltys new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab.Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her bigcity friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚)“My friend said：Now we believe your stories，” We
16、lty added.“And I said：Now you know.These are the people that make me write them.”Sitting on a sofa in her room.Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I dont make them up，” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years.“I dont have to.
17、”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Weltys people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus.It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out.Some
18、times, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片断)of a particularly interesting story.语篇解读这是一篇记叙文。Welty根据亲身经历和现实生活中的有趣故事创造小说。许许多多的真人真事成了Welty笔下的材料。4What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?ATwo strangers joined her.BHer childhood friends came in.CA heavy rain ruined t
19、he dinner.DSome people held a party there.解析细节理解题。由文章第二、三段内容可知，有两个陌生人加入到了作者在咖啡馆里组成的聚会。一个是stranger，另一个是her dinner partner。答案A5The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Weltys_.Areaders BpartiesCfriends Dstories解析猜测指代题。从第六段内容“My friend said：Now we believe your stories，”“These are the people
20、that make me write them.”可知them指代的是句中的stories。答案D6What can we learn about the characters in Weltys fiction?AThey live in big cities.BThey are mostly women.CThey come from real life.DThey are pleasure seekers.解析推理判断题。根据作者讲述的经历并写成故事可知，Welty笔下的人物来源于现实生活。这一点在倒数第二段Welty的话语中也得到了印证。答案C词义猜测题几乎可以说是高考阅读理解必考的题
21、型之一，主要考查考生根据构词、定义、对比、因果、联想等线索理解词义的能力，常见的考查形式有：生词词义、旧词新义、代词的指代、短语的引申义、句子含义、专业术语等。词义猜测题越来越受命题者的青睐，预计2017年各地区高考阅读理解题中的词义猜测题仍将是考查的重点之一。命题角度包括以下几点：一、单词或短语意义猜测题【设题角度】What does the word/phrase “_” in Paragraph 1 refer to?The underlined word “_” in the second paragraph probably means_.The word “it/they” in
22、the last sentence refers to “_”Which of the following can best replace the phrase “_” in Paragraph 1?The underlined word “_” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “_”【解题策略】(1)根据定义进行猜测一般情况下，文章中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现解释性的文字(一般是同位语、定语从句、定义等)，这就是解题的主要依据。典例Sports are the base of my life, next to my moth
23、er who raised me when my father left us.I have been into sports since I was six years old.I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and make me reach the next level of play.In the first two years I slacked_off,_not realizing m
24、y full potential.However, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how we did off the court.The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means_.Apaid no attentionBshowed no interestChad less passion Dmade less effort解析由该短语后面进行进一步说明的现在分词短语“not realizing my full
25、 potential(没有充分发挥我的潜能)”可知“slacked off”应表示“松懈”，故D项符合语境。(2)根据构词法进行猜测在英语中，有很多词可以加前缀或后缀构成一个新词，如果掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。典例However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need.We are dealing with the result of that_overconsumption in the greenest way possible, but it would
26、 be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.What does the underlined phrase “that overconsumption” refer to?AUsing too much packaging.BRecycling too many wastes.CMaking more produces than necessary.DHaving more material than is needed.解析联系画线部分前后的语意可知，我们被迫去回收利用
27、常常意味着我们消耗的量已经超过了我们的需求。由构词法也可看出，前缀over意为“过分，之上”，consumption意为“消耗，消费”。故选D。(3)根据因果关系进行猜测在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。典例Please stay on permitted paths.Otherwise you may destroy desert plants.Pack_out_what_you_pack_in,_so you leave no signs of your visit.It is important to keep in mind that you are in
28、 a national park where wildlife exists.What do the underlined words “Pack out what you pack in” probably mean?Akeep everything out of campgroundsBtake away everything you bring inCcarry all the necessary foodDlook after your personal belongings解析根据表示因果关系的“so you leave no signs of your visit”可知，不要留下任
29、何参观的迹象，因此此处表示把带进来的所有东西都带出去。(4)根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测文章中的代词it, that, he, him, them等可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找；也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代词所指代的对象。典例Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta.The camps have ex
30、cellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers.They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.What does the underlined word “They” refer to?AFlooded waters. BWildlife journeys.CSafari camps. DUnique rides.解析上两句中谈到了“Several safari camps”给游客提供的服务以及它们的特点，本句又说它们因为给游客提供很棒
31、的骑马经历而闻名，因此They指的是上文提到的“safari camps”。【解题技巧】代词指代题一般是在人物或事物关系比较复杂的情况下设置的一种题型，考查考生对复杂关系的分辨能力，要求考生对代词所在句以及紧邻的几个句子的结构和意思都有准确的理解。做此类题时可以采用如下方法：A理清人物及事物间的逻辑关系是解答代词指代题的关键所在。考生可利用上下文，采用逻辑关系梳理法，使人物或事物的关系明朗化。B代词永远出现在原词之后，根据这条原则考生可以快速排除选项中出现在代词之后的词汇，锁定答案，最后带入原句中进行验证。(5)根据转折或对比关系进行猜测根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, oth
32、erwise等可知前后句存在转折关系，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。典例Some people allow time to slip by and let it be their enemy.However, the wiser can take control of it and make it their ally.The underlined word “ally” most likely means somebody or something that is_.Ayour slave and serves youByour supporter and helps youCu
33、nder your control and obeys youDunder your influence and follows you解析前一句说“有些人让时间流逝，让它成为他们的敌人”，下面一句由However引出，表示转折，智者可以让时间成为他们的朋友来支持他们。二、句意猜测题句意猜测题通常需要考生猜测意思的是一个具有概括性的句子或是格言、谚语等，要求考生通过阅读文章，用合适的语句对其进行解释。【设题角度】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means “_”What does the underlined sentence in
34、Paragraph 4 mean?Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “_”(Paragraph 3)?典例Over the past 78 years passengers on Londons transport network have left behind it
35、ems including human skulls and gas masks from World War .Since 1934, staff have handled an average of 200,000 items a year.Recently they have used computers to try to track down their owners.But if you find something and cant locate the rightful owner, is it finders_keepers？It depends on whats found

37、andoned, the property is yours.One mans loss is another mans gain!What does the underlined part in the sixth paragraph mean?AIt depends on the law whether to keep something you find.BOne mans loss is another mans loss too.CIts immoral to keep something that doesnt belong to you.DWhoever finds someth
38、ing can keep it.解析句意猜测题。由上文语境“But if you find something and cant locate the rightful owner(拾到某物却找不到失主)”可推出，此处表示谁拾到的东西归谁所有，故选D。限时15分钟A(2016四川)If you could have one superpower, what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may soun
