(2017·黄冈检测)
On Christmas Day, 2003, a woman named Nancy Sue Brown took her daughter and grandchildren to see a movie at an AMC theater. When the movie was over, the crowd made for the exits. A theater employee had just finished mopp ing the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor” sign in the slippery area. No one slipped due to the wet conditions, but someone did manage to knock over the sign. And by the time Ms. Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor. And shortly thereafter, so was she. Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way, and she fell. Unfortunately Ms. Brown had undergone a back operation, and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have. So she and her husband sued (提起诉讼)．
AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor” sign above was to warn of danger, and therefore, courts should encourage the use by not allowing Brown's case to proceed (继续进行). AMC referred to a case about a December, 1998 incident, where a “wet floor” sign, not in us e, fell to the floor causing another trip-and-fall. In that case, Georgia's Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store, but didn't go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs couldn't give rise to legal liability (责任) in trip-and-fall accidents. In the Brown case, the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMC's argument that the former case applied.
But the Browns argued something surprising that the “wet floor” sign was, itself, dangerous, because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards (危险)．” That's right —the safety sign, used in the way it was designed, was itself dangerous. The court thankfully didn't accept that argument, at least not entirely. But it did conclude that Brown's case could continue to a jury (陪审团) —“a merchant's selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”．
体裁：议论文题材：社会现象主题：“小心地滑”指示牌引发的安全事件
【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了布朗夫人在美国一家AMC影院看完电影离开时，被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒受伤后，向法院提起诉讼的原因以及法院的审判结果。
1．According to the text, Ms. Brown ________.
A．slipped on the wet floor
B．tripped over a warning sign
C．knocked over warning sign
D．was knocked down by the crowd
解析：B细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的．.. Ms. Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor. And shortly thereafter, so was she. Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way,
and she fell.可知，布朗夫人被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒了。B项中的tripped over意为“被绊倒”，与文章表述相符，故选B项。C项中的knocked over意为“打翻；撞倒”，不符合文意。
2．AMC mentioned the 1998 case in order to ________.
A．accept its legal liability for Ms. Brown's loss
B．prove Ms. Brown had some physical problems
C．stress that it had no legal liability for the accident
D．prove other customers were responsible for the accident
解析：C推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句AMC argued that... encourage the use by not allowing Brown's case to proceed.可知，AMC影院认为布朗夫人的控诉不成立，法院应该鼓励使用这样的警示牌，接着第二句AMC影院举出1998年的案例来支持自己的观点。由此可推测，AMC影院提到这一案例是为了强调自己不应该承担本次事故的责任。故选C项。
3．What can we learn about the Brown's case from the last paragraph?
A．It would be judged by jury.
B．It would not be allowed to proceed.
C．The court would rule in favor of AMC.
D．The court accepted all the arguments of the Browns.
解析：A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的But it did conclude that Brown's case could continue to a jury...可知，法院申请陪审团来审理此案。故选A项。
4．The underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refers to “________”．
A．danger
B．customer
C．business owner
D．equipment in public places
解析：A词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知，一个商人选择和使用某一种设备来警示顾客某种危险，而这种设备本身就可能将顾客置于另一种危险中。由此可猜测，one指代上文中的danger。故选A项。
长难句分析：But it did conclude that Brown's case could continue to a jury —“a merchant's selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”．
句式分析：did在此处起强调作用，强调谓语动词conclude; that Brown's case could continue to a jury为宾语从句，作conclude的宾语；designed to warn customers of one danger 为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰equipment；that has the potential to expose them to a different one为定语从句，修饰的也是equipment。
句意：但是法院确实给出了结论：布朗事件的最后裁定交由陪审团——“一个商人选择
和使用某一种设备来警示顾客某种危险，而这种设备本身就可能将顾客置于另一种危险中”。

Music icon Bob Dylan will not attend the Nobel ceremony in December because he has other commitments, the Swedish Academy said on Wednesday.
“The Swedish Academy received a personal letter fr om Bob Dylan yesterday where he explained that he could not make himself available in December...，” it said in a statement.
“He wishes that he could accept the award personally, but other commitments make it unfortunately impossible. He underlined that he felt incredibly honored by the Nobel Prize，” it added. The Swedish Academy said it respected Dylan's decision, but that it was “unusual” for a Nobel laureate not to come to Stockholm to accept the award in person. Nobel laureates are honored every year on December 10 — the death anniversary of the prize's founder Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist, inventor and philanthropist.
Several other literature prize winners have skipped the Nobel ceremony in the past for various reasons — British writer Doris Lessing on grounds of ill health, British playwright Harold Pinter because he was hospitalized and Austrian playwright and novelist Elfriede Jelinek due to social phobia.
“We look forward to Bob Dylan's Nobel lecture, which he must carry out — it is the only requirement — within six months starting from December 10,2016，” the academy said.
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了2016年诺贝尔文学奖的获得者Bob Dylan缺席颁奖仪式的故事。
【难句分析】“The Swedish Academy received a personal letter from Bob Dylan yesterday where he explained that he could not make himself available in December...，” it said in a statement.
分析：本句是一个复合句。where引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，修饰先行词a personal letter；that引导宾语从句，在从句中不作句子成分。
译文：瑞典文学院在一项声明中提到，他们昨天收到了Bob Dylan的一封个人信件。Bob Dylan在信件里解释说他不能参加12月份的诺贝尔奖颁奖仪式。
5．What does the underlined word “it” in Pa ragraph 3 refer to?
A．receiving a personal letter
B．expressing himself in a statement
C．feeling honored by the award
D．accepting the award personally
解析：D考查代词指代。根据第三段的“He wishes that he could accept the award personally”可推知，此处的it代指的是亲自去领奖。
6．What is the Swedish Academy's attitude towards Bob Dylan's decision?
A．supportive B．opposite
C．indifferent D．tolerant
解析：D考查观点态度。根据第三段的“The Swedish Academy said it respected Dylan's decision, but that it was …unusual? for a Nobel laureate not to come to Stockholm t o accept the award in person”可知，瑞典文学院对Dylan的缺席表示尊重。
干扰项分析：A项意为“支持的”，B项意为“相反的”，C项意为“漠不关心”，均与文章中瑞典文学院对Dylan缺席领奖的态度不符，故排除。
7．What is the best title of the passage?
A．The Nobel Prize Goes to Music Icon Bob Dylan
B．Laureate Bob Dylan Will Be Absent for the Nobel Ceremony
C．Bob Dylan — a Music Icon Who Won the Nobel Prize
D．A Great Anniversary Event — the Nobel Ceremony
解析：B考查标题判断。根据第一段“Music icon Bob Dylan will not attend the Nobel ceremony in December because he has other commitments, the Swedish Academy said on Wednesday”可推知，本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了2016年诺贝尔文学奖获得者Bob Dylan缺席颁奖仪式的事件。
8．According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A．Bob Dylan informed the Swedish Academy of his absence by telephone.
B．The Nobel ceremony is in memory of the birth of the prize's founder.
C．Elfriede skipped the Nobel ceremony because of physical illness.
D．According to the Swedish Academy, the deadline of Dylan's lecture is June 10,2017.
解析：D考查细节理解。根据最后一段“…We look forward to Bob Dylan's Nobel lecture, which he must carry out —it is the only requirement —within six months starting from December 10,2016，? the academy said”可知，Bob Dylan演讲的最后期限是2017年6月10号。
干扰项分析：根据第二段的“The Swedish Academy received a personal letter from Bob Dylan yesterday”可知，Bob Dylan是通过信件来告知瑞典文学院自己将缺席颁奖仪式的，而不是电话；根据第三段的“Nobel laureates are honored every year on December 10 — the death anniversary of the prize's founder Alfred Nobel”可知，诺贝尔奖颁奖仪式的举行日是Alfred Nobel逝世的日子，而不是诞辰；根据第四段的“Austrian playwright and novelist Elfriede Jelinek due to social phobia”可知，Elfriede Jelinek缺席是因为社交恐惧症，这是一种精神疾病，而不是身体疾病。

(2017·云南高三年级八校跨区调研考试)
Spider (蜘蛛) webs have something in common with guitar strings. The long, thin strings on a guitar can vibrate (振动). They move back and forth, or from side to side. So do webs made by spiders. The lines of silk they produce can carry vibrations. This movement gives the small creature information about what landed on the web.
Spiders have eight legs and usually eight eyes. The animals build webs with their own soft, naturally-made silk. And much like playing the strings of a guitar, a spider can send out vibrations across its web over many different frequencies (频率). Spiders catch their food, usually insects in their webs. They make small movements, which spread across their webs. The vibrations can give the spider details about what is caught in the web — maybe a possible mate, or something tasty to eat.
Vibrations are not just used to spot what is for dinner. They are also important in courtship (求爱), so lots of males will actually create a very specific kind of musical pattern which the females can use to determine not only that they're a male, but they're the right species, and whether they might want to mate with them as well.
Spiders make their own vibrations to find out the condition of the webs. By controlling the tightness of the material, they can effectively control how information is getting to them when they hang out in the middle of the web. Spiders have a special ability to shape the physical nature of their self-made materials and creations. Scientists think that spider silk may have changed over time for this purpose.
【解题导语】本文介绍了蜘蛛吐出的蛛丝可以传播不同频率的振动，这些振动让它们知道蜘蛛网上落下了什么东西并且这些振动在求爱中也非常重要。
【难句分析】They are also important in courtship (求爱), so lots of males will actually create a very specific kind of musical pattern which the females can use to determine not only that they're a male, but they're the right species, and whether they might want to mate with them as well.
分析：这是一个复合句。本句含有which引导的定语从句以及that和whether引导的宾语从句。
译文：振动在求爱方面也很重要，所以很多雄蜘蛛会制造一种独特的音乐形式，雌蜘蛛不仅可以凭此确定它们的性别，还能确定它们的物种，以及它们是否愿意交配。
【知识充电】蜘蛛可以用蛛网来捕获飞来的昆虫，有一些蛛丝的强度比钢丝还大。对于人类来说，研究蛛丝的结构并弄清楚其原理之后，可以制造出来高强度纤维；对人类的语言也有一定的丰富作用，比如可以作为组成成语的元素：蛛丝马迹。另外，如果你一不小心用小刀割伤手了，可以用蛛网来止血，并且新结的蛛网更好用。
9．How does a spider feel that an insect is caught in the web?
A．Through its sense of sight.
B．Through vibrations of its web.
C．Through different frequencies.
D．Through a musical pattern.
解析：B考查细节理解。根据第二段的“The vibrations can give the spider details about what is caught in the web”可知，蜘蛛可以通过蛛网的振动知道有东西落到蛛网上了。故选B 项。
10．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A．Insects. B．Strings.
C．Spiders. D．Vibrations.
解析：A考查代词指代。根据第二段的“Spiders catch their food, usually insects in their webs. They make small movements, which spread across their webs”可知，蜘蛛在它们的蛛网上捕食，一般捕到的都是昆虫。它们制造出传遍整张蛛网的小振动。所以They指代的是昆虫。
11．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Silk produces vibrations as the strings of a guitar do.
B．Female spiders make special sounds to attract a partner.
C．Hunting will be hard for spiders if the silk is loose.
D．The tightness of silk can't be adjusted once it's made.
解析：C考查细节理解。根据第四段的“By controlling the tightness of the material, they can effectively control how information is getting to them”可知，蛛网的紧密度对蜘蛛捕猎至关重要，故选C项。
干扰项分析：根据第一段的第一句“Spider (蜘蛛) webs have something in common with guitar strings”可知，蛛网和吉他弦有一些共同之处，故排除A。根据第三段的“so lots of males will actually... they're a male”可排除B。根据第四段的“By controlling the tightness of the material... in the middle of the web”可知，蜘蛛可以控制材料的紧密度，它们可以有效地调整蛛网的属性，故可排除D项。
12．The text mainly tells readers ________.
A．guitars and spider webs are similar
B．spider webs have various functions
C．spiders are skillful in hunting insects
D．vibrations are vital in a spider's life
解析：D考查主旨大意。根据整篇文章的叙述，尤其是“The vibrations can give the spider details about what is caught in the web —maybe a possible mate, or something tasty to eat”可知，D项正确。

高考阅读理解词义猜测题解题技巧 猜词悟义是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考阅读理解中必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。考生应学会通过构词、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、同义、反义及上下文线索等确定词义。 一、题型特点与命题方式 此类题型有逐渐增加的趋势，尤其是猜测词组、句义题。因为猜测词组、句义题涉及题材背景、句子结够、文章主旨、作者的观点态度等。联系主旨、整合上下文信息是解答这类题的关键。近几年阅读理解的生词率略有上升，加大了猜测力度。命题者着重考查考生利用同义或反义关系、构词法、语法和语篇文脉等理解生词的能力。 【命题趋势】 1、要求根据阅读材料所提供的信息，结合中学生应有的常识和经验，正确判断生词词组的含义或成熟词在特定语境中表达的具体含义以及一些句子的意思。 2、要求猜测词义的词一般为实词及其词组，通过构词、定义、对比、因果、联想、上下文等线索确定词义的具体内容。 3、代词复指理解题也是猜测词义的常考类型。用―逻辑关系梳理法‖、―递向寻踪法‖理清人物及事物之间的逻辑关系是关键所在。 【设问形式】 The underlined word ―…‖ in the second(third…) paragraph refers to(means) ______. By saying ―…‖ in the first(second…) paragraph, the author means that ______. In paragraph …, ―…‖ can be replaced by ―______‖. The meaning of ―…‖ in paragraph… is related to ______. Which of the follow ing has the closest meaning to…(paragraph…)? The underlined sentence in the … paragraph probably means that _____. 二、解题思路与应试技巧 做这种类型的题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境主观臆断。 下面结合近几年高考试题，对猜词悟义的技巧加以解读。 1、根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测 有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如： Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly. 句子给予annealing 以明确的定义，即―退火‖。 It will be very hard but also very brittle — that is, it will break easily. 从后面that is(也就是说)的解释中我们可以了解到brittle是―脆‖的意思。 The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year. 定语从句中looks after sheep 就表明了herdsman的词义为―牧羊人‖。 【考例】 （2014福建卷，E篇）73. The underlined words ―tipping points‖ most probably refer to ―_______‖. A. freezing points B. burning points C. melting points D. boiling points 【解析】C。请看原文：In his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting

专题一阅读理解(词义猜测题) 一、知识链接 英语的一个显著特点是它庞大的词汇数量。即使一个拥有上万单词量的人在阅读英语读物中 也难免会遇到生词。如果每遇到生词，就查阅词典，不但会降低阅读速度，而且往往使阅读 变得索然无味。据调查，影响人们阅读理解的，首先是词汇。因此学习并掌握一些猜测生词 词义的方法，对排除阅读时某些生词的干扰，降低生词率是十分必要的。任何一个实词，只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一个确定的词义。NMET阅读理解中猜测词义的考查内 容既可以是文中的生词，也可以是熟词新义、短语或句子。但都要求考生根据上下文线索(即具体语境)作出推断。此类题的提问形式一般有： 1. Which of the following is nearest/closest in meaning to"... "? 2. The underlined word, means_______. 3. The underlined phrase, means_______. 4. The underlined sentence, means_______. 二、真题演练 （一）典型例题 例1、 T-shirts out; uniforms in School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U. S. A. That's no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the "wrong” clothes. Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule-- wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down. In Paragraph 1, the word "benefits" probably means________. A. tasks B. messages C. differences D. advantages 变式练习 Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.
五大方法巧解高考英语词义猜测题 根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义是高考阅读理解题6大出题方向之一，也是考查考生英语语言能力和文化品格的一种重要方式。 词义猜测题可以针对单词、短语的意思进行命题考查，还可以针对某一句子的准确理解或代词的精确指代进行设题。除了直接考查单词或短语词义猜测外，在阅读理解文章中，总会有一些单词或短语超出了《考试大纲》词汇表的范围，但又没有附加注释，也需要考生猜测，这也是对词义猜测的一种间接考查。 近三年词义猜测题考查频次一览表 近几年高考词义猜测题在数量上保持稳定，每套试卷中直接考查词义猜测的试题不超过2道。但试卷中阅读理解部分生词量略有扩大，试题难度稍有增加。例如在2017年全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解中，有部分超纲单词（如unifying, emotion和insight)给出了汉语注释，另外一部分超纲词汇(如recontextualization)却没有附加注释。这些单词既不在《考试大纲》规定的词汇表内，又未加注释，这就意味着考生不仅仅需要完成试题中直接的词义猜测题，还需要凭借自己的知识积累和学习能力猜测出未加注生词的词义，这样才能透彻地理解文章，完成阅读理解任务。 词义猜测题考查的范围主要在以下几个方面：生词、短语、熟词生义、句子和代词的指代。 常见的设问形式主要有以下几种： What does the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...refer to? What does the underlined phrase "..." in Paragraph...refer to? What does the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...mean? What does the author mean by "..." in Paragraph...? Which of the following can replace the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...? 无论是直接的词义猜测题，还是阅读中需要理解不认识的生词，我们都可以利用构词法、逻辑关系、语法关系、生活常识、文化背景和上下文语境等方法来猜出单词或短语的意思。预计2018年此题型题量将会保持稳定，命题重点仍然是考查生词/短语的意思、熟词生义或代词的指代含义。
