【策略学习】
词语猜测题
词语猜测题主要考查考生猜测文章中某个单词、短语或词块的含义，或考查该词(块)能被哪个单词、短语或词块代替。此外，也会考查某一个熟词在具体语境中的特殊含义。
在猜测词义时，能利用构词法猜测的一定先利用构词法。
策略1：利用构词法猜测词义
构词法能够不借助阅读上下文便能够大体猜出词义，然后再结合语境猜测，这样事半功倍，而且有双重保险，大大提高了解题效率和正确率。所以我们主张：可以利用构词法的，一定先利用构词法，再结合语境解题。构词法主要有派生、合成和转化三种形式。例如2019年全国卷Ⅱ第25题：tug at the heartstrings中的heartstrings是合成词：heart(心)＋string(弦)→heartstrings心弦，故本单词可能与feeling有关。
【典例】　(2018·北京卷阅读D)
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol－powered private cars worldwide with electric，self－driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050.Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing.The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride－hailing services，considering the cost of self－driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues (责任与维护问题).But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
49.What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Employed. B.Replaced.
C.Shared. D.Reduced.
【分析】　利用构词法猜测词义。field常用作名词，表示“场地，领域”，此处用作动词，引申为“使用，应用”。根据上段中画线词所在句的前半部分内容“The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly”并结合下句中的“as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology”可知，随着价格的降低以及人们对这项技术开始应用自如，第一批上市的无人驾驶车辆会“被应用”到“叫车服务”中。
策略2：利用反义词猜测词义
有时作者会用表示对比或转折的信号词连接意思相反的两个词或句子，这时就可根据反义词线索猜测词义。表示对比或反义的信号词(组)常见的有：(whether)...or，unlike，but，yet，however，while，although，nevertheless，instead，rather than，in contrast, contrary to，on the other hand等。
【典例】　(2020·新高考卷Ⅰ阅读D)
According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research，both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake.And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份)，it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
13.What does the underlined word“beanpoles”in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Big eaters.
B.Overweight persons.
C.Picky eaters.
D.Tall thin persons.
【分析】　利用反义词猜测词义。根据 “And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份)，it’s the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.”，研究表明，与现存的研究发现(应该避免和食量大的胖人一起吃饭) 相反，你真正需要避开的是胃口大的又高又瘦的人。根据“contrary to”可知，画线词与heavier people含义相反。
策略3：利用上下文猜测词义
这是最常见的方法，一定要先从画线词语最近的位置找起，要求理解句子的顺序是：
本句的意思→前后句的意思→本段和前后段的意思
【典例】　(2020·全国卷Ⅲ阅读B)
Yet“Apes”is more exception than the rule.In fact，Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately.One nonprofit organization，which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment，is keeping__tabs__on more than 2，000 productions this year.Already，a number of films，including“Water for Elephants，”“The Hangover Part Ⅱ”and “Zookeeper，”have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.
26.What does the underlined phrase“keeping tabs on”in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Listing completely.
B.Directing professionally.
C.Promoting successfully.
D.Watching carefully.
【分析】　利用上下文猜测词义。根据最近句子 “One nonprofit organization...more than 2，000 productions this year.”可知，一个非营利组织的工作就是监督在电影拍摄中动物是如何被对待的， 这个非营利组织正在密切关注今年2 000多部电影的制作。根据上下文语境，画线短语keeping tabs on与monitor(监督)意义最为接近。
策略4：利用“语法关系”猜测词义

【典例】　(2018·全国卷Ⅰ阅读C)
In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation－state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
29.Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A.Complex. B.Advanced.
C.Powerful. D.Modern.
【分析】　利用“语法关系”猜测词义。根据“dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over”中such as后的内容可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在替代其他语言。由此推知，dominant languages意为“强有力的语言”。
策略5：利用“逻辑关系”猜测词义

【典例】　(2020·全国卷Ⅰ阅读B)
While I tend to buy a lot of books，these three were given to me as gifts，which might add to the meaning I attach to them.But I imagine that，while money is indeed wonderful and necessary，rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.The best books are the ones that open further as time passes.But remember，it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
26.What does the underlined word“currency”in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Debt. B.Reward.
C.Allowance. D.Face value.
【分析】　利用“逻辑关系”猜测词义。根据But I imagine that...the highest currency a reader can pay them.可知，作者认为，虽然金钱确实是美妙而必要的，但重读作家的著作是读者对该作家的最高奖励，因此画线词在此处指“奖励”。

Camp memories last forever! We make sure they are unforgettable!
Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses are the program! We are 100% horse from stable (马厩) management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings.
Horses help us achieve many of our aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning.
Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of. Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack (马具), as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.
At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have “The Bunkhouse” (4 girls), “The Wranglers Roost” (4 girls), and “The Hideout” (2 girls) in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.
Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child’s vacation. Each child will receive a camp T-shirt and a photo album (usually 300-500 pictures) of their stay at camp.
Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2011, for small groups of girls aged 13-16 years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.

Germans have a word “wanderlust” which translated into English would be “the desire to wander”. Nowadays the chance to travel is endless. Thanks to cheap air tickets, travelling abroad is very easy and sometimes it's even cheaper to fly out of the country than to travel within your own. So, yes, travelling is cheap but there have to be other reasons to travel and you're right. There are plenty of reasons!
I have always had this feeling of wanderlust. It started from me wanting to explore my local woods at the back of my garden as a young girl and as I have grown, so has my sense of adventure. And I found my local woods being replaced with the Brazil wetland, Pantanal, where I went last summer in search of jaguars, snakes and crocodiles. The thing with travelling is that it's always different. Even if you went to the same country, to the same town and stayed in exactly the same hotel, it would be a completely different experience. The people you meet will be different, and they will tell you their own travelling stories: stories of holiday romances, holiday worries and stories that seem so outrageous that you can hardly believe them until something similar happens to you.
Or maybe the difference is you? Maybe you have changed since last time you were there? And that's the thing with travelling—it changes you. When you travel you are forced to experience a new culture. Whether it's eating a guinea pig, or staying with a family where neither of you speak a common language and you have to communicate through hand actions and smiles, the experience gives me itchy feet to do it all again. And although wanderlust is a German word, the English idiom “to have itchy feet” has a similar idea. Someone who has itchy feet needs to leave or travel. This desire to explore is found not only in language but in us.
5. According to Paragraph 2, what is the most important part of travelling?
A. Having different experiences.
B. Hearing many travelling stories.
C. Experiencing holiday romances.
D. Taking more adventures.
6. The underlined word “outrageous” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. interesting B. surprising C. moving D. disappointing
7. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Staying with a family without common languages.
B. Communicating through hand actions and smiles.
C. Eating a guinea pig with a family.
D. Experiencing a different culture.
8. The writer wrote the passage in order to ________.
A. give various reasons for travelling
B. encourage people to travel abroad
C. explain the German word “wanderlust”
D. share the writer's travelling experiences
【答案】5. A 6. B 7. D 8. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述旅行的理由和旅行带给人们的影响。
5. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Even if you went to the same country, to the same town and stayed in exactly the same hotel, it would be a completely different experience.（即使你去的是同一个国家，同一个城镇，住的是完全相同的酒店，那也是一种完全不同的体验。）”可知，旅行最重要的是你会拥有不同的经历。故选A项。
6. 词句猜测题。根据第二段该词所在句“The people you meet will be different, and they will tell you their own travelling stories: stories of holiday romances, holiday worries and stories that seem so outrageous that you can hardly believe them until something similar happens to you.（你遇到的人会是不同的，他们会告诉你他们自己的旅行故事：假期浪漫的故事，假期烦恼的故事，以及那些看起来让你难以相信的故事，直到类似的事情发生在你身上。）”后面的that从句“that you can hardly believe them”可以推测outrageous意思为“令人吃惊的”。故选B项。
7. 词句猜测题。根据第三段该词所在句“Whether it's eating a guinea pig, or staying with a family where neither of you speak a common language and you have to communicate through hand actions and smiles, the experience gives me itchy feet to do it all again.（无论是吃豚鼠，还是住在一个你们都不讲共同语言、必须通过手势和微笑交流的家庭，这段经历都让我很想再做一遍。）”可知，it指的是经历不同的文化。故选D项。
8. 推理判断题。根据第一段“So, yes, travelling is cheap but there have to be other reasons to travel and you're right. There are plenty of reasons!（所以，是的，旅行很便宜，但是一定有其他的理由去旅行。你是对的，原因有很多。）”以及下文内容可知，作者写文章的目的主要是讲述旅行的理由。故选A项。

The German-born cook has been teaching baking classes to kid out of her home kitchen in Austin, Texas, for ten years. She’s had a popular following for years among foodie families and homeschoolers in the city.

Last fall,my dad and I visited Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary,which is located in the mountains of Northern Thailand. Although our stay was short, it turned out to be the most memorable part of our holiday.
Upon arrival,we headed to the base to learn about the elephants that were in the care.The eldest,Too Meh, had spent much of her life giving tourists rides with a heavy iron seat tied to her back.Her daughter,Mae Doom,and grandsons,Dodo and Gen Thong,had also spent years in chains doing hard work to entertain tourists. It broke our hearts to hear their sad stories.
Early the next morning, we saw Too Meh and Mae Doom exploring the forest and Dodo playing by the river. Seeing them free was a heartwarming experience. Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary was founded with the goal of protecting the welfare of elephants, and that is why this place does not offer elephant rides or elephant performances of any kind. Instead, it tries to educate visitors about these amazing animals.
But we did more than just get to know the elephants. We also cooked and ate together with our host family, learned about the language of the local people, and helped teach English to the children in the village. In doing these activities, we were able to experience the local customs and culture firsthand.By providing such opportunities for visitors, the place gives back to the village by helping the villagers make more money and learn English. It's a win-win situation.
If you want to see elephants in their natural environment,Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary is the nice place to go. It's an experience you won't forget.

A. She lived through hard times.

14. What does the Kindred Elephant Sanctuary aim to do?
A. To entertain tourists.
B. To teach languages.
C. To protect elephants.

【解析】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和父亲去泰国的 Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary保护区参观的所见所闻。
13. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The eldest,Too Meh, had spent much of her life giving tourists rides with a heavy iron seat tied to her back.”（最年长的Too Meh，她一生中大部分时间都在背上绑着沉重的铁座椅，载着游客骑行。）可知，Too Meh经历了艰难的岁月。故选A项。
14. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary was founded with the goal of protecting the welfare of elephants, and that is why this place does not offer elephant rides or elephant performances of any kind. .”（Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary 保护区的成立是为了保护大象的安全与健康，这就是为什么这个地方不提供骑大象或任何形式的大象表演。）可知，Kindred Elephant Sanctuary目的在于保护大象。故选C项。

Children should spend at least one hour playing and spending time in nature each day, according to the Wildlife Trusts （野生生物基金会）. 17. It is now calling on the government to include nature time into daily school life.
18. Its 451 students in the study were 8 or 9 years of age. They were interviewed before and after nature activities. The activities were run by the Wildlife Trusts over the course of several weeks, such as learning about plants and trees.
The children showed a great increase in personal health. 19. 90 percent said they learned something new about the natural world； 79 percent felt the experience would help their schoolwork；20. Perhaps most importantly, 79 percent mentioned they would believe more in themselves.
21. And the time has been reducing greatly in recent years. A 2017 report found that less than 10 percent British kids enjoys themselves in nature, compared to 40 percent of adults when they were younger years ago. To improve the situation, the organization is calling on the government to free up a daily hour for nature time for kids.
A. Parents care much about their kids' nature time. ”

G.And they also showed a sense of connection with the natural world and high levels of enjoyment.
【答案】17. F 18. D 19. G 20. C 21. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。根据Wildlife Trusts的说法，孩子们每天至少应该花一个小时在大自然中玩耍。然而，父母自己并没有给孩子们足够的时间。近年来，这种时间大大缩短了。
17. 根据下文“It is now calling on the government to include nature time into daily school life.（现在它正在号召政府把自然时间纳入日常学校生活。）”可知，It指代的是the Wildlife Trusts，F项“The UK organization speaks for 46 groups and 2,300 nature protection areas.（这个英国组织代表了46个团体和2300个自然保护区。）”是对这一组织的进一步解释说明。故选F项。
18. 上文“It is now calling on the government to include nature time into daily school life.（现在它正在号召政府把自然时间纳入日常学校生活。）”中的It is now calling on和D项“The calling comes from a study by University College London.”中的The calling相呼应，D项对这一号召进一步解释。故选D项。
19. 根据上文“The children showed a great increase in personal health.（孩子们的个人健康状况有了很大改善。）”，G项“And they also showed a sense of connection with the natural world and high levels of enjoyment.（他们也表现出与自然世界的联系和高层次的享受。）”承接上文，G项的they also showed和上文的The children showed相呼应，符合题意。故选G项。
20. 根据上文“79 percent felt the experience would help their schoolwork（79%的人认为这些经历有助于他们的学业）”，再根据下文“Perhaps most importantly, 79 percent mentioned they would believe more in themselves.（也许最重要的是，79%的人提到他们会更相信自己。）”可知，空处承接上下文，C项“81 percent said they had better relationships with their teachers.(81%的人说他们与老师的关系更好)”切题。故选C项。
21. 根据下文“And the time has been reducing greatly in recent years.（近年来，这种时间大大缩短了）”，B项“However, parents on their own aren't giving kids that time.（然而，父母自己并没有给孩子们足够的时间。）”放在段首引出下文，其中的that time和下文the time相呼应，句意和下文相衔接，符合题意。故选B项。

Have you ever found yourself waiting at the stop for your bus to arrive and have a stranger ask a commonplace question? Perhaps you’ve stood in line waiting for a coffee and feel the need to just look over to the person next to you and ask about the weather. 22. Small talk may seem like a waste of time. 23. “Big relationships are built on small talk,” Lindy Pegler, who has a master's degree in psychology, wrote on Medium. In fact, we spend a lot of our time making small talk. 24. Coming up with small conversations is the foundation (基础) of these relationships.
The benefits of such conversations can actually contribute to our happiness and benefit our lives as a whole. Researchers found that having a healthy amount of acquaintances (熟人) and maintaining these relationships contribute to one’s sense of belonging to a community.
25. It can be as simple as asking about their day or commenting on the traffic. “First and foremost, small talk is an act of politeness,” Pegler noted.
Who knows where this can lead? 26. You might find someone who has a common interest, or maybe even someone who turns out to be a close friend. There is one thing for sure. Making small talk can brighten our day.
A. Some people don’t like small talk.
B. So how does one start making small talk?
C. Small talk is a natural way for people to connect.
D. But it serves an important role in our social interactions.
E.In fact, the small connections we make can lead to big results.
F.This is small talk, and despite the name, it’s actually a big part of daily life.

【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了闲聊在日常生活中的重要性，以及如何闲聊。
22. 根据下文中“Small talk may seem like a waste of time.”可知，闲聊似乎是浪费时间。因而设空处为承上启下的作用，应该是引出话题small talk；F选项“This is small talk, and despite the name, it’s actually a big part of daily life. (这只是闲聊，虽然名字不怎么样，但它实际上是日常生活的重要组成部分)”中的代词“this”承接指代上文提到的现象。small talk也引出了下文的话题，符合题意。故选F。
23. 根据上文“Small talk may seem like a waste of time.(闲聊似乎是浪费时间)”及下文“Big relationships are built on small talk.(大的关系是建立在闲聊上的)”可知，闲聊的交际作用是重要的，所以设空处应该是对上文意思的转折，D选项“But it serves an important role in our social interactions. (但它在我们的社会交往中扮演着重要角色)”符合题意。故选D。
24. 根据上文“In fact, we spend a lot of our time making small talk.”可知，事实上，我们花了很多时间闲聊。所以设空处应该讲这种情况经常发生的场合。G选项“Often, we find ourselves making small talk with the same people from time to time.(通常，我们会时不时地和同一群人闲聊)”符合题意。故选G。
25. 根据下文“It can be as simple as asking about their day or commenting on the traffic.(它可以是简单的询问他们的一天或者评论交通)”可知，此处论述了开始闲聊的方式。所以设空处应该是问如何开始闲聊。B选项“So how does one start making small talk?(那么如何开始闲聊呢？)”与文意相符。故选B。
26. 根据上文“Who knows where this can lead?”可知，谁知道结果会怎样？此句中“lead”和选项E中“lead”构成对应，同时E选项“In fact, the small connections we make can lead to big results. (事实上，我们建立的小联系，可以导致大结果)”与上文形成意义上的一致。故选E。

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章是对去“未来观察”参观时准备活动的详细攻略。
【详解】
27.考查反身代词。句意：我在公园的入口处为自己和朋友买了票，但也可以在网上买到票。当主语和宾语意义所指相同时，宾语用对应的反身代词。故填myself。
28.考查关联词。句意：我在公园的入口处为自己和朋友买了票，但也可以在网上买到票。前文讲在公园的入口处为自己和朋友买了票，后文讲也可以在网上买到票。前后句意构成转折关系，应用but连接。故填but。
29.考查名词的数。句意：“未来观察”不仅适合个人，也是课堂出游的乐趣和学习的完美结合。individual意为“个人”，为可数名词。参观“未来观察”的个人有很多，所以用复数。故填individuals。
30.考查物主代词。句意：提前告知“未来观察”他们的计划的班级或其他大型团体可获得团体入场率。修饰名词plans应用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
31.考查现在分词。句意：对于任何从外地来的人来说，“未来观察”有许多优质的酒店，其中大多数提供往返公园的班车服务。分析可知，此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，动词come和逻辑主语anyone构成主动关系，所以用现在分词修饰anyone。故填coming。
32.考查定语从句。句意：对于任何从外地来的人来说，“未来观察”有许多优质的酒店，其中大多数提供往返公园的班车服务。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，定语从句中of缺少宾语，且先行词为hotels，应用关系代词which。故填which。
33.考查副词。句意：在出发前好好计划你的旅行，因为“未来观察”有那么多的表演、活动和很棒的纪念品商店，很难把它们都看完。修饰动词plan应用副词。故填well。
34.考查固定句式。句意：在出发前好好计划你的旅行，因为“未来观察”有那么多的表演、活动和很棒的纪念品商店，很难把它们都看完。so/such...that...意为“如此……以至于……”，为固定句式；原本修饰名词应用such，但如果名词前有many/much/few/little修饰时用so，so many shows“如此多的表演”。故填so。
35.考查固定句式和代词。句意：在出发前好好计划你的旅行，因为“未来观察”有那么多的表演、活动和很棒的纪念品商店，很难把它们都看完。it is+n./adj.+to do sth意为“做某事是……（的）”，为固定句式，其中it为形式主语，不定式是真正的主语。故填it。
36.考查固定搭配。句意：准备好走很多路吧——一定要穿舒适的运动鞋或其他步行鞋！be sure to do sth意为“一定做某事”，为固定搭配。故填to wear。
