The underlined word ‘one’ refers to ______.
A. a society B. America C. a place D. population
從結(jié)構(gòu)上看,one與society是同位關(guān)系,因此,A選項符合題意,是正確答案。
8.根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行判斷。如:
In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem (定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Poly-technique.
Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “baffle” as it is used in the text?
A. To encourage people to raise questions.
B. To cause difficulty in understanding.
C. To provide a person with an explanation.
D. To limit people’s imagination.
在“the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds”這個句子中,并列連詞and起著很重要的提示作用,因為它意味著被它連接起來的兩個動詞在意義上有一致性!癶ad beaten the finest mathematical minds”可以理解為“擊敗了一些頂級的數(shù)學(xué)家”,而這個定理之所以可以“擊敗一些頂級的數(shù)學(xué)家”不外乎是因為它太難了,因此我們可以順理成章地把baffle與difficult聯(lián)系在一起。我們可以試圖這樣理解這句話“這個定理難住并擊敗了一些頂級的數(shù)學(xué)家”。四個選項中B選項最接近這個意思,所以,它是一個正確的可能性最大的選項。又如:
A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
What does the underlined word “hassle” (paragraph 1) probably mean?
A. a party designed by specialists
B. a plan requiring careful thought
C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble
D. a demand made by guests
根據(jù)“A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun”,這兩個分句之間的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系我們可以推斷出“hassle”與“fun”應(yīng)該是一對反義詞。A、B、D 三個選項與這個判斷都不吻合,只有C選項與這個判斷比較一致,因此,C選項是唯一可能正確的答案。
以上所敘只是推測、判斷詞義的一些基本規(guī)律。要提高這方面的閱讀能力,最主要的還是靠自己進(jìn)行大量的閱讀,在閱讀實踐中不斷總結(jié)經(jīng)驗,找出其中的規(guī)律,并且融會貫通地運用它們指導(dǎo)自己的閱讀。
