.[解题思路]第一步阅读文章,在画线词前后找出相关信息词①Encouraging__this__kind__of__thinking__has__a__downside.②I__ran__the__risk__of__losing__those__students__who__had__a__
different__style__of__thinking.第二步对比信息词与选项,找出符合题干要求的选项尝试解答____B____[答题技巧]1.识别题干关键(1)Theunderlinedword...probablymeans____________.(2)Whi
chofthefollowingisclosestinmeaningtotheunderlinedword...?2.“文中信息”巧利用(1)同义或定义解释法。上下文中以某种方式对其进行解释,如利用or,tha
tis(tosay),inotherwords,namely等词语进行解释,或利用破折号、同位语(从句)、定语从句等进行解释。(2)因果推断法。对生词词义的猜测需要结合上下文的因果关系进行。(3)前后对比法。上下文中往往对生词提供一定的对比背景
,并且通常以反义或对照的方式出现,以此可推测生词意思。(4)语境理解法。生词词义的推测大多根据语境进行,做题时要根据上下文语境信息进行分析、推理,从而猜测出生词的意义。(5)基本构词法。根据前缀、后缀、合成及词性转换猜测词义。题型2猜测短语类[

合题干要求的选项尝试解答____B____[答题技巧]1.识别题干关键(1)Theunderlinedphrase...couldbereplacedby____________.(2)Whatdoesthe
underlinedphrase...referto?2.“语境分析”猜短语短语猜测题是一个从“已知”得出“未知”的题型,即利用该短语前后的已知部分进行推理判断。首先注意分析短语的意思,然后结合具体语境去推测短语的含义更有
利于问题的解决。3.明晰干扰选项特征短语猜测题的干扰项一般是以下几种情况:(1)短语的字面意思;(2)文中出现的与猜测无关的内容;(3)命题人凭空杜撰的内容。题型3猜测指代类[示例](2017·全国卷Ⅰ,C)Despitethecelebrations,though,intheU.S.theja

ey,them,one,which等)或代动词(do,does,did等)究竟指代什么。具体方法:(1)返回原文,找出指代词(it,they,them,this...)。(2)向上(有时向下)搜索,找最近的名词、代词、短语或句子(就近原则)。(3)将找到的词、词组或句子代入替换该指
代词,看其意思、逻辑关系是否通顺,并最终确定最佳答案。题型4猜测句意类[示例](2017·浙江卷,A)Thebrushdidnotlastlong.SoonBenjaminneededmorefur.Beforelong,thecatbegantolookra

返回原文,找到该句,对原句进行语法和逻辑关系的准确分析。对于需要推理的句意理解,首先要理解句子前后的语境,其次对此句在文章中的意思进行合理的推断,最后再归纳总结。(2)一般来说,正确选项的意思与原句的意思完全相同,是用其他的英语词
汇或句式来表达。[状元技法]顺藤摸瓜——猜测词义类题目1.做此类题目,要学会“顺藤摸瓜”和“上下取证”,通过构词法、语法逻辑、经验、常识、上下文等线索来确定词义,“顺着”作者的思想、态度去理解,然后“上下取证”看自己的判断是否合乎逻辑或作者的思想等。2.重视并列或转折关系。常见的几种逻辑关
