建议用时:15分钟A[2015·重庆一诊]A study involving 8,500 teenagers from all socialbackgrounds W1found that most of them are ignorant when it comesto money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from Nat West that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened W2with greater debts than any before.University tuition fees (学费) are currently capped at £3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to_raise_the__ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 percent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted W3that they would be earning on average £31,000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt P1when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £10,000. Average debts for graduates are £12,363.Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns Nat West, said. “The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become a w are of them, the more likely they are to become responsible,Sforward-planning adults who manage their finances W4 confidently and effectively.”Ministers are deeply concerned about P2the financial pressureson teenagers and young people because of students' loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from P3lessons on personal W5finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.本文是关于英国的研究机构的一份调查,表明大部分青少年对钱的问题认识不深,他们大多数过高估计了未来赚钱的前景,对他们以后可能要负担的债务也没有认识。

应对区爱护学校专题限时集训(十) 词义猜测之推测单词、短语、句子的含义A(2020·广东四校联考)Kyle Cassidy and three other members of the Annenberg Running Group were stretching on the ground of the University of Pennsylvania, waiting for a few latecomers.The Penn colleagues and other community members meet three days a week for a roughly 30minute jog and an occasional lecture.That's right—during some runs,one of them delivers a talk.Topics range from the brain to the Bitcoin.But on this day last January,it would not be their normal run.The first clue that something was off was the man who sprinted past them.“Running at an amazing pace,”Cassidy told Runner's World admiringly.Cassidy discovered why the sprinter was so fleet of foot when another man ran by,yelling,“Help!He took my phone and laptop!”At that time,the group did what running clubs do:They ran,trailing the suspect down the streets of Philadelphia until he ducked into a construction site.The runners split up.Cassidy ran around to the far side of the site to cut the thief off while the others wandered the neighborhood hoping he had dumped the loot(赃物) in a backyard.No luck.So they decided to ask residents whether they'd seen the guy.When they knocked on the door of one row house,they were in for a surprise.Unknown to them,he had already emerged from the construction site—and was hiding behind a bush by that very house.As the owner opened the door,the suspect darted out from behind the bush...and right into the arms of the campus police,who'd joined the chase shortly behind the runners.The members of this running group are not hardcore athletes. But they do understand the benefit of a little exercise.“Running is typically a useless sport where you turn fat cells into heat,”Cassidy told The Philadelphia Inquirer.“But occasionally it can be useful,and here was one of those opportunities.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。
2020年高考英语二轮复习第五讲词义猜测类--解题技巧及典例剖析【考点清单】一、词义猜测类题目常见的设问方式:1.The word"..."refers to/probably means_____.2. The underlined word "..." could best be replaced by_.3.What does the expression"..."stand for?4.By saying"..."we mean____.5."..."as used in the passage can best be defined as___——·6.Which of the following words can take the place of theword"..."?二、词义猜测题是指利用语境(上下文)推测、判断某些生词词义的题。
在近几年的高考阅读试题中词义猜测题的考查力度逐步加大。
词义猜测是一项阅读技巧,主要考查考生根据上下文推断单词意思的能力。
因此,所考单词的意义通常超出大纲范围——超纲词义含义推断、熟词生义或熟词在特定语境中的意思。
词义猜测题常考查对句中关键性词语(实词、短语、指代关系等)的理解。
三、【解题流程】“一原则”、“二关注”速解词义猜测题一原则词义猜测题所提问的单词、词组或句子一般都是考生不认识的,即使认识,正确答案也未必是熟悉的含义。
这种题目目的就是希望考生能结合上下文,来理解不认识的单词、词组或句子。
二关注这是做词义猜测题的一大利器。
因为由并列转折连接的两部分会存在语义含义和成分的对应。
所以如果有一个单词不认识,就可以在与其并列或转折部分的信息中找对应信息。
关注解释说明部分分析试题可以发现,其实出题者在出一些词义猜测题的时候也是动了侧隐之心的。
2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习阅读理解词义猜测题专练四句意猜测类(xx·山西省省际名校联考)This time last year I entered two longdistance massparticipation swimming events, including the Jubilee River 10 km swim. At the last minute, just before both swims, I decided to pull out. The reality is, I live in fear of ing last.Last year, before the two events, I realized that I couldn't deal with ing last.I had looked at the swim times of those who had pleted the previous year and calculated that, at my current swim pace, I would probably have e last in both. I just couldn't face it. But when next year came around, I decided to enter those same events again.For a few months, I trained hard, but I didn't get any faster. Then it was June 5, the day of the Jubilee River 10 km. The event started at 9:30 a.m., and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start. As I swam along, the river was quiet and clean and everything was peaceful. The sun shone. Meadows (草地) rolled by and every now and then someone would wave at the scene unfolding in the water.As the day wore on, somehow I didn't mind that, predictably, almost everyone was ahead. There were at least some swimmers still near me, and although we shared the same river we quietly occupied our own spaces. As I concentrated on doing my own thing, watching the sky, the bank, the other swimming caps passing or not passing.I realized I was enjoying myself.In the end, four hours and 29 minutes after I'd started, I staggered (摇摇晃晃地走) out of the water and was greeted with a smile and a “well done” from the race organizer. I glanced back over my shoulder toward the water and noticed that there were a small handful of swimmers who were still to finish, behind me, out of a field of around 300 swimmers. But it didn't matter. I_was_just_relieved,_proud_and_happy_to_finish.As I drove away, my thoughts turned to my next long race of the season and how much I was looking forward to it, my fears of ing last gently receding (渐渐远去).体裁:记叙文题材:个人经历主题:克服最后一名的恐惧【语篇导读】作者通过描述自己参加游泳比赛的经历告诉我们最后一名并不可怕,关键是要学会享受比赛的过程。

专题跟踪训练(十五)A(2018·赣州十四县(市)联考)Some people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello. E-mail, too, is slower than a text. Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated,_he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mail?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards? Easy. Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.语篇解读:本文主要讨论了如今在智能手机时代,人们应该选择何种方式进行沟通。

第四讲猜测词义题在阅读中我们经常会遇到许多生词。
这时许多同学立即翻阅词典,查找词义。
这样做不但费时费力,而且影响阅读速度、影响对语篇的整体把握。
事实上,阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。
我们可以利用语境(各种已知信息)推测、判断某些生词的词义。
近年来全国统一高考中加大了对考生猜词义能力的考查,因此,掌握一定的猜词技巧,对突破高考阅读理解、提高我们的英语语言能力都有非常重要的意义。
常见的题干有:1) Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the word?2) The word... could best be replaced by.3) In the... paragraph, the word... means (refers to).4) According to the passage,... probably means.5) The author uses the word... to mean.猜测词义时,一般可利用以下四个方面的线索:一是针对性的解释针对性解释是作者为了更好的表达思想,在文章中对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或高深的词汇等所做的通俗化的解释。
这些解释提供的信息明确具体,所使用的语言通俗易懂,利用它们来猜测词义就非常简单。
1.根据定义(definition)猜测词义如果生词有一个句子(定语从句或是同位语<同位语前常有 or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say, i.g. 等>或是同位语从句)或段落来定义,或使用破折号,冒号,分号后的内容和引号括号中的内容加以解释和定义,那么理解这个句子或段落本身就是推断词义。
定义常用的谓语动词多为:be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, be called, define, represent, refer to, signify 等。
2019-2020 年高考英语二轮复习阅读理解词义猜测题专练三指代猜测类(xx·黄冈检测)On Christmas Day, xx, 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 mopping 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, xx incident, where a “wet floor” sign, not in use, fell to the floor causing another tripandfall.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 tripandfall 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, itse lf, 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。
第五讲 词义猜测类专项练习 【分类真题】 (2019年全国卷II.A) My Favourite Books Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads. Matilda Roald Dahl I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull,are equally fumy and frightening, but they're also aspirational. After Dark Haruki Murakami It’s about two sisters — Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets. Gone Girl Gillian Flynn There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable. The Stand Stephen King This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever. 21.

The Stand. 【答案】.C 【解析】细节理解题。本题题干意为:下面哪个选项讲述了Mari和Eri? 在文章有关After Dark的书评中,作者介绍了Eri和Mari,因此C项正确。A项Cosmopolitan是作者介绍JoUsmar时提及的她的一本书。B项和D项是书评介绍中的两本书。 23. What kind of book is Gone Girl? A.A folk tale. B.A biography. C.A love story. D.A horror story. 【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。本题题干意为:Gone Girl是一本什么样的书?根据文章 Gone Girl部分的介绍,尤其是“but the horror story is brilliant"可知,这本书是关于恐怖故事的,故D项正确。A:民间传说;B:传记;C:爱情故事。 (2019年全国卷I.B) For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.,today is speech day, and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking. But he’s nervous."I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…"Chris trips on the"-ld,"a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support."…Vote for …me …"Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him. A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom. Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student," Whaley explains, "especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know,but I want to know.’" Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about themselves. "Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities," Whaley says, "is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident." 24. What made Chris nervous? A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech. C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question. 【答案】.B 【解析】细节理解题。本题题干意为:什么使Chris紧张?根据第一段第一句(……今天是演讲日,现在轮到Chris Palaez了)和第二段第一句(但是他很紧张)可知,B项正确。A:讲故事;C:参加考试;D:回答问题 25.
