考点二、解题技巧

关于题干

 词义猜测题的题干通常会出现加粗带下划线的单词、短语或句子，有时候还会有引号出现，一般如果文章中有黑色加粗字体，就可以判断会出现词义猜测题。

 一种选项模式的名词，这种情况一般都是划线单词是名词或者代词，那么一定要对应划线单词的人称和数进行匹配。

二、考点突破

Passage 1

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near our house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain. ” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds singing; but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all the nice things, just like in life.”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and worked hard. I made great progress and found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there, I could see the whole of the sky, which was as clear as crystal（水晶）.

Passage 2

Most handshakes are a simple greeting. However, they are more common in some places than in others. This is especially true in English-speaking countries. In these countries, handshakes are common in every situation — when meeting a new person, or even when greeting someone that you have not seen for a long time. People also use handshakes to congratulate, or to say goodbye.

In Asian countries, handshakes are used in business. But in other situations, there are other greetings. For example, in Thailand, people greet each other using the waist(腰). A person holds his hands so that the palms, the inside of the hands, press together. Then, the person gives a small bow, bending(弯曲) at the waist. Similar gestures(手势) are used in India, Cambodia and other countries.

In Latin America, people shake hands. But they also may greet with a kiss. For example, a woman greeting another woman will kiss lightly on each cheek(面颊), and then shake hands. In some places, men may also greet in this way, but it is not as common. Cheek kissing is common in many other parts of the world too, but it is slightly(稍微地) different in each place. For example, in Greece, two people may kiss twice, one kiss on each cheek. But in parts of France, people will kiss four times!

So, if you are shaking hands, do you know what the best way to communicate is? Do you use a hard or soft handshake? Do you hold with both hands, or just one? Do you kiss?

5．How do people greet each other in Thailand?

A．By using the waist. B．By shaking hands.

C．By speaking loudly. D．By shaking their heads.

6．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Hugging. B．Kissing. C．Greeting. D．Speaking.

7．What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Different handshakes B．How to greet each other

C．The same gestures D．When to shake hands

Passage 3

Have you ever wondered if you see the same colors as other people? Most people know what blue is when they see it. They see the color and call it “blue” because they were taught the word and connected it with what they saw. But how do you know what you see as blue isn’t someone else’s red?

The ability to see colors depends on receptors (感受器) in our eyes. Light waves hit these receptors which will send information to the brain. The brain then deals with the information to make sure which color light the eyes are receiving. Some people’s receptors are more developed than others. People with weaker receptors usually have color blindness. That the receptor can’t translate the light waves correctly means some people cannot tell different shades of a color.

In the past, most scientists argued that everyone saw colors in the same way. However, research was done on monkeys, in which they were injected (注射) with a virus to influence their receptors. This made them understand more about colors than usual and brought an interesting discovery. Normally, monkeys can only see blue and green, but the virus allowed monkeys to see red. Their brains were made to be able to understand new colors, which might mean the brains are not instinctive (本能的) to understand which color is which. This shows that our brains may get used to new information depending on what they receive during the development. Color could be a very personal experience to everyone.

So, the next time you talk about your favorite color, just remember if yours is blue and your friend says red, you might actually be thinking about the same color. What if everyone in the world has the same favorite color, but just calls it different names.

8．Which is TRUE about people who have color blindness from paragraph 2?

A．They cannot see light at all. B．They have developed receptors.

C．They can’t tell colors correctly. D．They can’t see any colors.

9．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in paragraph 3?

A．Scientists B．Receptors C．Monkeys D．Brains

10．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage.

A．Monkeys can only see two colors at any time.

B．Our brains can understand colors instinctively.

C．Everyone has the same experience about a color.

D．The same color might be given different names.

11．What’s the passage mainly about ?

A．It tells people that different colors have different names.

B．People call a color blue because that’s how they were taught.

C．It mainly explains why people see the same color differently.

D．One’s favorite color is different from that of another one’s.

12．Where can you probably find this passage?.

A．A science fiction. B．A science magazine. C．A story book.              D．A guide book.

Passage 4

You might feel full after having a big meal. But you may actually suffer from “hidden hunger”. This means that what you eat may fill your stomach, but it’s not giving you the proper nutrition that your body needs.

This happens when food lacks the vitamins and minerals people need to stay healthy, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

At present, “hidden hunger” affects 2 billion people worldwide, including 300 million people in China. It is most commonly seen among children and teenagers and can result in bad immune system, blindness or even death, China News Service reported.

Many Chinese people don’t get enough iron, calcium, vitamin A and vitamin D．One main reason is that agricultural products don’t have much of these nutrients. Over 40 percent of China’s farmland is lost its vitamins and minerals, lowering the nutritional value of the crops that grow on it, according to Xinhua.

Many of the processed foods that people enjoy eating today, such as chips, burgers and cookies, have made the situation worse. Vitamins and minerals area easily lost when these foods are processed. People’s Daily noted.

The human body needs 16 kinds of minerals, including iron and calcium, and 13 kinds of vitamins, including vitamins A and D, to stay healthy. Vitamins help maintain healthy eyes and skin and allow your bones to grow properly. Minerals are important for maintaining blood pressure and making new cells.

In response, China’s government has created several action plans to improve public health, as well as develop and promote nutritious foods.

Eating more fresh nutrition—rich food like vegetables, whole grains and dairy can help us stay healthy. For vegetables like carrots and broccoli, boiling and steaming can better preserve their nutrition when compared to frying them, CNN suggests.

13．“Hidden hunger” happens when ________.A．what you eat include some fresh nutrition—rich food like vegetables.

B．what you eat can’t give you the proper nutrition your body need.

C．what you eat fills your stomach but you still feel hungry.

D．what you eat isn’t a big meal.

14．Which one is not the reason why people can’t get proper nutrition?

A．People eat too much processed foods such as chips, burgers and cookies.

B．Over 40 percent of China’s farmland is losing its vitamins and minerals.

C．Children and teenagers are in bad immune system.

D．Some agricultural products don’t have much.

15．The underlined word “processed” means ________.

A．污染的 B．加工的 C．出口的 D．改进的

16．According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?

A．Vitamins may cause blindness.

B．Vitamins include iron and calcium.

C．Vitamins help maintain healthy eyes and skin.

D．Vitamins are hardly lost when foods are processed.

17．The passage probably may be taken from ________.
