15、”。 tips 完形填空之利用“熟词生义”解题在完形填空的选项中,还常常考查一些词的熟词生义。这些词除了我们常见的词义外,在一些特定语境中,又出现了新的意义,即熟词生义。如果对这类词的常见意义掌握得不够全面,会给考生在解答完形填空时带来很大的干扰,导致错选或误选。尤其值得注意的是:近两年高考在完形填空中考查熟词生义有加大的趋势。要避免因熟词生义产生的错误,最重要的是平时的积累,及对语篇中具体语境的把握。例如上文第17和第20题考查的知识点即为熟词生义。第17题,live on原义是“靠生活”,在这里意为“继续存在”;第20题,keep常用义为“保持”,在这里意为“饲养”。 .阅读七选五As E
