【词义猜测题微技能】
1.单词或短语意义猜测
词汇量小是制约学生阅读理解能力的一个重要因素。具体技巧如下:
(1)根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语,下面接着出现其定义或解释,这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。
(2)根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语,对前面的词进行解释,这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或短语意义进行猜测。
(3)根据同义关系进行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或r时,其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的或相反的,由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域,进而可推知其大致意思。
(4)根据构词法(合成、派生、转化等)进行猜测。在英语中,有很多词可以在前面加前缀或在后面加后缀,从而构成另外一个词,乍看起来,这个词可能是新词,但掌握一定的构词知识,就不难猜出它的词义了。
(5)根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇文章中,根据原因可以预测结果;同样,根据结果也可以找出原因。
(6)根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词it,that,this,he,him 或them等可以指上文提到的人或物,其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远,要认真查找;有时还需要对前面提到的内容进行总结,才能得出代词所指代的事。
【典例剖析1】
Rather unsurprisingly, a massive 77 percent f the peple surveyed admitted t being bsessed with regularly taking selfies. What was mre interesting, thugh, was the fact that an astnishing 82 percent f peple said that they wuld rather see ther selfies n scial media.Diefenbach calls this the “selfies paradx”: the idea that we like taking selfies but seriusly dislike lking at ther peple’s selfies nline.
41. What des the wrd “paradx”(paragraph 5) mean?
A. cmplicated statementsB. cntradictry statements
C. cnstructive statementsD. cmplimentary statements
[解析] 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“the idea that we like taking selfies but seriusly dislike lking at ther peple’s selfies nline.”可知,我们喜欢自拍,但不喜欢在网上看别人的自拍,这两点是相互矛盾的,由此可知画线词词义为“相互矛盾的说法”,故B项正确。
【典例剖析2】
Take the mystery f migratin fr example. Scientists can’t really explain why many species f birds migrate in the autumn even thugh the temperature is still summery. The birds just seem t snub the cmfrtable weather that they are having. When a certain time cmes, they travel suth by the thusand. In spring time, they migrate nrthwards when thugh there prbably is snw still cvering the grund when they finally arrive. Smething said “g”, and they did.
37. The underlined wrd “snub” in the third paragraph prbably means ________.
A. fight B. ignre C. symblize D. criticize
[解析] 词句猜测题。根据上文Scientists can’t really explain why many species f birds migrate in the autumn even thugh the temperature is still summery.(科学家无法真正解释为什么许多鸟类在秋天迁徙,即使温度仍然是夏季。)可推断划线句The birds just seem t snub the cmfrtable weather that they are having.句意:鸟儿似乎在忽视它们所拥有的舒适的天气。结合下文When a certain time cmes, they travel suth by the thusand. ( 当某一时刻到来时,它们大批大批地向南旅行。)可知,候鸟不管天气如何,只要到了某个时间就会迁徙,因此推断划线词词义为“忽视”,与ignre意思相近。故答案为B。
【典例剖析3】
Nervus suspects lcked up in Britain's newest plice statin may feel relieved by a pleasant yellw clur n the dr. If they are clse t cnfessing a crime, the blue n the wall might tip the balance.
56. The expressin “tip the balance” in paragraph 1 prbably indicates that the blue might_________.
A. let suspects keep their balance.
B. make suspects cld and unfriendly in law curt.
C. help suspects t cnfess their crimes.
D. enable suspects t change their attitudes t clurs.
[解析] 词义猜测题。根据Nervus suspects(嫌疑犯) lcked up in Britain's newest plice statin may feel relieved by a pleasant yellw clur n the dr. If they are clse t cnfessing a crime, the blue n the wall might tip the balance可知,黄色和蓝色是让人放松心情的颜色,所以在坦白罪行的时候能够缓解情绪,有利于罪行的交代,故选C。
【典例剖析4】
I guess that there’s prbably sme demanding wrk schedule, r scial anxiety arund stepping up t help fr an unknwn sprt. She may just need a little persuading. S I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mentin the single parent with fur kids running the shw and I talk abut the dad caching a team that his kids aren’t even n… At this pint the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I’ll d it.”
57. What des the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Encurage team wrk.B. Appeal t feelings.
C. Prmte gd deeds.D. Prvide advice.
[解析] 词义猜测题。根据划线前句she may just need a little persuading.和下面的一句话I mentin the single parent with fur kids running the shw and I talk abut the dad caching a team that his kids aren’t even n ...可知,作者为了劝服这位家长,举了两个例子。故可知,划线句此处应是“煽情”之意。故选B。
2.句意猜测题
句意猜测题要求考生通过阅读文章理解句意,然后用合适的语句对其进行解释性的描述。
具体技巧如下:
(1)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。对于需要推理的句子,首先要理解此句前后的语境,其次对其在文章中的意思进行合理的推断,最后再归纳总结。
(2)一般说来,正确选项的意思与原句的意思完全相同,但是用其他的英语词汇或句式来表达的。
【典例剖析1】

A. the area is pleasing t the eye B. the area is really unfrgettable
C. the area catches the turists’ eye D. the area is crwded with turists
[解析] 句子理解题。根据这一段中“Breathtaking scenery and famus sights everywhere .可猜测出the area is a feast fr the eyes的意思是“这个地方非常令人赏心悦目,故选A。
【典例剖析2】

[解析] 句子理解。根据最后一段 He nce said, "I wuld rather be a superb meter(流星), every atm f me in magnificent glw, than a sleepy and permanent planet." Each day, he pushed himself.他曾说:"我宁愿成为一颗卓越的流星,我的每一个原子都在灿烂的光辉中,也不愿成为一个沉睡的、永恒的行星."每天,他都在鞭策自己.可知暗示Jack Lndn要制定高远目标奋斗到成功,故选B.

真题演练
[方法1] 根据上下文语境进行猜测
猜测任何词义都离不开上下文,所以可借助上下文对需要猜测的词、短语或句子进行合乎逻辑的推测。
【典例1】Salvadr Dali (1904~1989) was ne f the mst ppular f mdern artists.The Pmpidu Centre in Paris is shwing its respect and admiratin fr the artist and his pwerful persnality with an exhibitin bringing tgether ver 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and mre.Amng the wrks and masterwrks n exhibitin the visitr will find the best pieces, mst imprtantly The Persistence f Memry.There is als L'Enigme sans Fin frm 1938, wrks n paper, bjects, and prjects fr stage and screen and selected parts frm televisin prgrammes reflecting the artist's shwman qualities.
The visitr will enter the Wrld f Dali thrugh an egg and is met with the beginning, the wrld f birth.The exhibitin fllws a path f time and subject with the visitr exiting thrugh the brain.
The exhibitin shws hw Dali draws the viewer between tw infinities(无限),“Frm the infinity small t the infinity large,cntractin and expansin cming in and ut f fcus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the shwy Barque f ld painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pmpidu Centre.
The fine selectin f the majr wrks was dne in clse cllabratin (合作) with the Muse Nacinal Reina Sfia in Madrid,Spain,and with cntributins frm ther institutins like the Salvadr Dali Museum in St.Petersburg, Flrida.
What des the wrd “cntributins” in the last paragraph refer t?
A.Artwrks. B.Prjects. C.Dnatins. D.Dcuments.
[解析] 根据最后一段可知,多家博物馆通力合作,共同精选展出作品。文中提到像西班牙马德里的博物馆和圣彼德斯堡的博物馆这样的机构也提供萨尔瓦多·达利的作品参加展览。由此推测,cntributins指“作品”。
[答案] A
[方法2] 根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测
英语文章中的代词ne,it,that,them等可以指上文提到的人或事物。有时代词与指代的对象相隔较远,要认真查找;有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结,才能得出代词所指代的事物。
【典例2】Yu may nt have heard f Ashka,but fr the past 27 years,this assciatin,funded by Bill Draytn,has fught pverty and sickness,prmted educatin and encuraged small businesses.T supprt these wrthy causes,Ashka prvides mney fr the wrld's mst prmising “changemakers” seeking t slve urgent prblems and wuld like t create a wrld in which every citizen is a changemaker.
Draytn believes that anyne can becme an agent fr change.The imprtant thing is t simply give yurself permissin.If yu see a prblem that yu care abut,yu can help slve it.The yung in particular are willing t accept this cncept because at heart every child wants t grw int a happy,healthy,cntributing adult.In fact,it is many yung peple's ambitin t set up prgrammes r businesses that imprve scial cnditins.An excellent example is an Ashka prject started in 1995 in Dhaka,which handled the rubbish prblem facing the city,helped lcal farmers and prvided an incme fr pr peple there.
When Masqsd and Iftekhar began t study the prblem f all the uncllected rubbish that lay in Dhaka's streets,attracting rats and disease,they discvered that 80% f it was natural waste.S they educated the pr peple in the city t cmpst (把……制成堆肥) this waste.They knew that they wuld have a market fr the end prduct because lcal farmers were struggling with chemical fertilisers (化肥) which were expensive and had reduced the natural minerals in the sil ver the years.At first,they were refused,but nce they were able t persuade them that there was mney t be made,the prject tk ff.In 2009 sales were $14,000.
Draytn is ptimistic that in ten years Ashka will be making really serius,practical prgress in bringing abut scial change by changing the way we lk at ecnmic develpment.
The underlined wrd “them” in Paragraph 3 prbably refers t“ ________”.
A.the lcal farmers B.Masqsd and Iftekhar
C.Draytn and his team D.the pr peple in the city
[解析] 考查代词指代。在1995年,Masqsd和Iftekhar教城里的穷人把垃圾制成堆肥,因为他们认为这些化肥会有市场。起初他们遭到了拒绝,但是当他们使这些人信服这样做有钱可赚时,这一项目得以实施。故画线的them指代“the pr peple in the city”。
[答案] D
[方法3] 根据同义或类比关系进行猜测
当词语被并列连词and,r as well as所连接或词语之间有just as,like,similarly等时,前后的两项内容在含义上是接近的或相近的,由此可确定同等关系中的某个生词或短语所表达的意义。
【典例3】 [1]...[2]...
[3]Smething else,hwever,has been n the rise.While GM seeds are expensive,GM cmpanies tell farmers that they will make gd prfits by saving mney n pesticides (杀虫剂).On the cntrary,US gvernment data shw that GM crps in the US have prduced an verall increase in pesticide use cmpared t traditinal crps.“The prmise was that yu culd use less chemicals and bst prductin.But neither is true,” said Bill Christisn, President f the US Natinal Family Farm Calitin.
...
[解析] 联系上下文及bst所在句子的意思可知,其承诺是你能够使用很少的化学物质并且可以提高产量,本题的关键词为and。
[答案] D
[方法4] 根据定义或解释进行猜测
有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语,下面接着出现其定义或解释,这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。此类由定义或解释来猜测词义的方法很多:①表示定义关系的常见信息词有be,mean,represent,be called/named,be cnsidered,be defined as(被定义为),be knwn as,refer t等;②表示同位关系的常见信息词有that is,that is t say,in ther wrds,namely,r rather(精确地说)等;③有些生词会以破折号、括号、逗号、冒号等暗示读者,解释说明前面的词。
【典例4】 [1]...
[2]D yu knw what a “territry” is? A territry is an area that an animal,usually the male,claims as its wn.Only he and his family are welcme there.N ther families f the same species are welcme.Yur yard and huse are yur territry where nly yur family and friends are welcme.If a stranger shuld enter yur territry and threaten yu,yu might shut.Prbably this wuld be enugh t frighten him away.
...
What is a bird's “territry”?
A.A place where families f ther species are nt accepted.
B.A place where a bird may shut at the tp f its vice.
C.An area fr which birds fight against each ther.
D.An area which a bird cnsiders t be its wn.
[解析] 文章第二段首先提出什么是“territry”,紧跟着就是对“territry”的解释,由定义可推知,这里“territry”指的是“鸟类的地盘”。
[答案] D
[方法5] 根据转折或对比关系进行猜测
在一个句子或段落中,有时会出现对两种事物或现象进行对比的描述,考生可以利用这种关系猜词悟义。表示对比关系的词语主要有hwever,but,instead,despite,unlike,yet,while,whereas(反之,而,却),rather than,instead f,in spite f,n the cntrary,n the ther hand,in cntrast等。
【典例5】 There was a gardener wh lked after his garden with great care.T water his flwers,he used tw buckets.One was a shiny and new bucket.The ther was a very ld and dilapidated ne,which had seen many years f service,but was nw past its best.
What des the underlined wrd “dilapidated” prbably mean?
A.Dirty. B.Dark.
C.Wrn-ut. D.Plain-lking.
[解析] 由“ ther...”结构可知,“ld and dilapidated”对应前面的“shiny and new”。由此可判断dilapidated的意思应与shiny and new相反,即wrn-ut。
[答案] C
[方法6] 根据举例进行猜测
在一些阅读材料中,为了阐明某一种重要观点或者讲清楚某一抽象概念,作者往往采取举例的方式对这一观点或概念进行具体的说明和解释,从而使读者理解得更具体些,而这些例子恰好为猜测词义提供了重要线索。表示列举关系的信息词有like,fr example,fr instance,such as,include等。
【典例6】 his bk,he had challenged readers t make deep cuts in persnal emissins t keep the wrld frm reaching extremely imprtant tipping pints,such as the melting f the ice sheets in Greenland r West Antarctica...
The underlined wrds “tipping pints” mst prbably refer t “ ________”.
A.freezing pints B.burning pints
C.melting pints D.biling pints
[解析] 本题要求猜测tipping pints的意思,根据下文的例子“such as the melting(融化)f the ice sheets in Greenland r West Antarctica”可知,tipping pints的意思为“融化点”,与C项同义。
[答案] C
[方法7] 根据因果关系进行猜测
在有些文章或段落中,两种现象或两个事物之间可能会构成因果关系,可以利用这种关系来猜测词义。
【典例7】 [1]...
[2]Of curse,the gd f xen is nt limited t plwing.In fact,they are seen as “ bats n land” fr their ability t carry lads.Besides,the whle bdy f an x is full f treasures.Their meat and milk are fd full f nutritin,and their skin can be used t make clthes and shes.With all these qualities,xen are regarded as generus creatures.
...
The wrds “bats n land” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer t ________.
A.animals fr taking gds B.creatures fr pulling plws
C.treasures f the flk culture D.tls in the farming ecnmy
[解析] 画线部分后的fr their ability t carry lads是对前面的解释说明,由此可以很轻松地得到结果:牛被看作“陆地之舟”,是一种运输货物的动物。
[答案] A
[方法8] 根据构词法进行猜测
阅读中常常会遇到一些由熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词。掌握构词法对猜测词义很有帮助。如:unfreseeable.这个词,可以根据构词法把它拆成un, fre, see , able;其中 see 是词根,fre是“先,前,预”的含义,un是否定,able是“能……的,可……的”,因此unfreseeable是“未能预见到的”意思。
1.根据前缀猜测词义
例如:D yu have any strng pinin n c-educatinal r single-sex schls?
根据词根educatinal (教育的),结合前缀c-(共同,一起),我们便可以猜出c-educatinal的意思是:"男女同校教育的"意思。
2.根据后缀猜测词义
例如:It's a quiet, cmfrtable htel verlking (俯瞰) the bay in an uncmmercialized Crnish fishing village n England's mst sutherly pint.
后缀 -ise/ize意思是"使成为…;使…化",结合词根cmmercial(商业的),不难猜出 uncmmercialized 的意思是:"未被商业化的"。
3.根据复合词的各部分猜测词义
例如:Gd tl design is imprtant in the preventin f veruse injuries. Well-designed tls and equipment will require less frce t perate them and prevent awkward(别扭的)hand psitins.
Well-designed 或许是个生词,但我们分析该词的结构后,就能推测出其含义。它由well (好,优秀)和design (设计)两部分组成,合在一起便是"设计精巧的"意思。
We live in a technlgical sciety where mst gds are mass-prduced by unskilled labr. Because f this, mst peple that craft (手艺) n lnger exists.
根据合成词中的mass(大量的)和prduce(生产),我们可以推测 mass-prduce的意思是:"大批量生产;规模生产"的意思。
【例】
…Baker cncludes that peple d nt have the ability t sense when they’re being stared at. If peple dubt the utcme f his tw experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see fr themselves.” …
70. The underlined wrd “utcme” in the last paragraph mst prbably means ________________.
A. value B. result
C. perfrmance D. cnnectin
【答案】B
【解析】运用“构词法”进行猜测。动词词组cme ut 的意义为“露出、出现、显露出”。再根据句子的语境,可猜测出其意义是:(实验的)结果。
词汇拓展
1.合成法
man-made handwriting
greenhuse
all-rund typewriter
breakthrughhigh-class
blacklist ne-way
English-speaking
2.派生法
A.否定前缀
un-(不)unimprtantin-/im-/ir-/il-(不)impssible
dis-(不)dislikemis-(不)misunderstand
B.其他前缀
re-(再)rebuildinter-(互)interchange
pre-(前)preschlanti-(反)antifreeze
nn-(否)nnprfit
C.名词后缀
-er(人)teacher-er(物)cker
-ician(人)physician
D.形容词后缀
-able(能)eatable-less(否)hmeless
E.动词后缀
-en(使)widen-fy(使)satisfy
-ize(使)mdernize
英语单词大多是由词根、词头(前缀)和词尾(后缀)所组成的。词根是单词最基本的部分,表达单词的基本含义。在词根前或后加上前缀或后缀,可以用来引申或转变原词的意义或改变词性。掌握前缀、后缀规律有助于理解词义。如un-,im-,in-,dis-,il-等前缀与-less等后缀可构成反义词,后缀-ful,-ly,-ism,-ness等可改变词性。

2021年6月新高考2卷B篇
I have wrked as a keeper at the Natinal Z, Paris fr 11 years. Spt and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been brn here. Glbally, a third f Sumatran cubs in zs dn't make it t adulthd, s I decided t give them rund-the-clck care at hme.
I've gt tw children—the yunger ne, Kynan, was extremely happy abut the tigers arriving - but all f us really lked frward t being part f their lives and watching them grw. I wasn't wrried abut bringing them int my hme with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed abut 2.5 kg and were s small that there was abslutely n risk.
As they grew mre mbile, we let them mve freely arund the huse during the day, but when we were asleep we had t cntain them in a large rm, therwise they'd get up t mischief. We'd cme dwn in the mrning t find they'd turned the rm upside dwn, and left it lking like a z.
Things quickly gt very intense due t the huge amunt f energy required t lk after them. There were sme tugh times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there t help. We had t have a bit f a prductin line ging, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bttles, and cleaning the flrs.

【答案】36. E 37. D 38. F 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。国务院办公厅鼓励依法优化调整夏季作息安排,为职工周五下午与周末结合外出休闲度假创造有利条件。在稳定全国统一的既有节假日前提下,各单位和企业可根据自身实际情况,将带薪休假与本地传统节日、地方特色活动相结合,安排错峰休假。
【详解】1. 根据空前“Peple will have mre time t be tgether with their families. ”(人们将有更多的时间和家人在一起)可知,享受更长的周末,员工可以和家人在一起休息,再回到岗位能够更有活力。故E 项“After rest and relaxatin, emplyees will becme mre energetic when they cme back t wrk.”(经过休息和放松,当员工回到工作岗位时,他们会变得更有活力)符合语境。故选E。
2. 根据空前“Hwever, there are dubts as t whether this well-intentined initiative can be put int practice.”(然而,有人怀疑这一善意的倡议是否能付诸实践)可知,人们对此项政策能够实施产生疑虑,担心无法受益。故D项“Mst peple think that they will actually nt be able t enjy the benefits f such a scheme.”(大多数人认为他们实际上无法享受到这样一个计划带来的好处)符合语境,呼应dubts。故选D。
3. 根据空后“ If staff wrkers f gvernment departments and public institutins n lnger wrk n Friday afternns, lcal residents will have nwhere t g if they have urgent issues t slve thrugh these establishments.”(如果政府部门和事业单位的工作人员在周五下午不上班,当地居民如果有紧急问题需要通过这些机构解决,就无处可去了)可知,另外一个担心是政府机关周五下午放假导致紧急公共服务缺失。F项“Anther wrry is that this measure will finally be exclusively (专有地) enjyed by a limited number f emplyees.”(另一个担忧是,这一措施最终将只适用于有限数量的员工)符合语境。故选F。
4. 根据空前“Obviusly, the nly way ut is t implement plicies cncerning paid annual leave in a realistic manner s that the wrking peple can make arrangements fr their days ff wrk. As a result, hlidaymakers dn’t need t all rush t the same scenic spts during the same perid f time, which wuld be beneficial t the prtectin and peratin f these spts. ”(显然,唯一的出路是切实执行带薪年假政策,让劳动人民可以安排他们的休息日。这样一来,度假者就不需要在同一时间段都赶往同一景点,这将有利于这些景点的保护和运营)可知,建议改进以保障政策实施到位,由此推知,下面要进一步指出这样做的优点。A项“Als, this is an effective way t increase cnsumer spending.”(此外,这也是增加消费支出的有效方式) 符合语境。故选A。
5. 根据空后“ The gvernment is suppsed t pay mre attentin t the prtectin f labr rights and emply all pssible means t ensure their hlidays as well as the functins f gvernment institutins, instead f just making ecnmically mtivated plicies.”(政府应该更加关注劳工权利的保护,采取一切可能的手段来确保他们的假期以及政府机构的功能,而不是仅仅制定经济驱动的政策)可知,总结使带薪年休实施到位的重要性。除非政府保护否则两天半的周末没有意义。G项“As lng as paid annual leave remains unrealistic in mst industrial sectrs, the tw-and-half-day weekend seems pintless.”(只要带薪年假在大多数工业部门仍然不现实,两天半的周末似乎就没有意义)符合语境。故选G。
2.【2023届安徽省江淮十所名校高三第一次联考】
A cntact lens (隐形眼镜) that can release a drug if it detects high pressure within the eye has been created by scientists wh say it culd help treat glaucma.
Glaucma is an eye disease that invlves damage t the ptic nerve, and can lead t blindness if nt treated. Accrding t the charity Glaucma UK, the mst cmmn frm f the disease, knwn as primary pen angle glaucma, is thught t affect almst 10% f peple lder than 75. This frm is generally caused by increased pressure within the eye, usually as a result f a buildup f fluid.
Researchers in China revealed they have develped a cntact lens that can sense an increase in pressure within the eye and release an anti-glaucma drug if the pressure transcends a certain level.
Writing in the jurnal Nature Cmmunicatins, the team describe hw they created the device using an upper and lwer lens, with a snwflake-shaped pressure sensr and wireless pwer transfer device sandwiched between them arund the rim f the lenses. When the pressure inside the eye increases, the gap between the upper and lwer lenses decreases. This is detected by the pressure sensr by means f a cantilever. The sensr then sends a signal t the wireless system which subsequently triggers the release f an anti-glaucma drug, frm a hydrgel attached t an electrde, and enables it t crss the crnea f the eye. The drug, brimnidine, acts t reduce the pressure within the eye.
The study reveals that the cntact lenses have s far been tested n pigs’ eyes and n the eyes f living rabbits—albeit with smaller-sized lenses—althugh trials have yet t be carried ut in humans. The researchers nte the lenses are nt nly sft and minimally invasive but are als battery-free, adding that the apprach culd be expanded t help tackle ther eye diseases.
Prf Zubair Ahmed frm the Institute f Inflammatin and Ageing at the University f Birmingham, wh was nt invlved in the wrk, said the research was ptentially very exciting, adding that a rise in pressure within the eye was a significant prblem fr mst peple with glaucma. “The materials required t create such cntact lenses are inexpensive and sn culd be mass-prduced.” he added.
12. Wh can prbably get help frm the cntact lens?
A. Thse wh are blind.B. Thse wh have glaucma.
C. Thse wh are lder than 75.D. Thse wh are under heavy pressure.
13. Which f the fllwing wrds can replace the underlined wrd “transcends” in paragraph 3?
A. Exceeds.B. Maintains.C. Lwers.D. Balances.
14. Hw did the team create the device?
A. By crssing the crnea f the eye and then sending a signal.
B. By enlarging the gap between the upper and lwer lenses.
C. By using brimnidine t increase the pressure within the eye.
D. By emplying pressure sensr and wireless pwer transfer device.
15. What can we learn abut the cntact lenses?
A. They are safe but t cstly.B. They have been tested n humans.
C. They will be put n the market sn.D. They need t be used with battery pwer.
