(二)猜词类题目解题技巧
1. 利用上下文语境来猜测词义
Passage 3
There are so many ways to make new friends such as joining a sports team, taking part in community activities,
or traveling. And there is no doubt that a friend in need is a friend indeed because he can help you out when you are
in trouble or encourage you when you are upset. So, joining a sports team will be my first choice.
The primary reason for this is that everyone in a sports team has the same interest, which is the most basic
character for friends. Because of it, they will become your potential friends so that the chance to be friends is very
high. In addition, the same interest can give you a lot of topics to talk about with your friends in daily conversation.

Passage 4
Plenty of science fiction (sci-f) movies over the decades have shown us different versions of Mars. The truth
about the Martian surface might be exciting because it's real. And with NASA’ s Mars 2020 mission set to launch
this summer, we're facing more discovery.
So far, thanks to a decade of research enabled by NASA's Curiosity rover, we’ve learned that lakes, rivers
streams and likely oceans used to appear on Mars. While its water disappeared over three billion years ago, it tells
us that Mars used to be habitable. This knowledge confuses us because so far, we’ve seen no clear evidence of life
there, not even a virus. But if Mars was once habitable, wouldn't it have life?

【答案】B
【解析】词义猜测题。根据第二段So far, thanks to a decade of research enabled by NASA’s Curiosity rover, we've
learned that lakes, rivers streams and likely oceans used to appear on Mars(到目前为止,多亏了美国宇航局的“好奇号”漫游者长达十年的研究,我们了解到火星上曾经出现过湖泊、河流和海洋)可知,火星上曾经出现过湖泊、河流和海洋,这些事实告诉我们,火星曾经是“宜居的”。可推知,habitable意为suitable for living,故选B。
2. 利用指代关系来猜测代词词义
