文章中的代词this，that, it，they，them等可以指上文提到的人或物。

要记住代词永远出现在原词之后，根据这条原则可快速排除选项中出现在代ADo you make money by doing small jobs? If you do, you may have heard of the idea of spending only some of it, saving some of it and donating (捐赠) some to people who need it more．The head of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife announced they were giving away 99% of their money from Facebook during their lives to help others！That alone is amazing considering most people donate about 3% to 5% of the money they have．It’s even more amazing when you realize they’re donating about D|S45 billion．That’s D|S45,000,000,000！！！！Don’t worry．They’ll still have about D|S455 million to live on!They made this decision partly because they had a baby girl, Max, and thought about what kind of world they’d like her to grow up in．It must be an amazing feeling to have that kind of money spent on people in need．Mark Zuckerberg is one of the richest persons in the world, so most of us will never know what that would be like．But we don’t have to be super wealthy to make meaningful change．Sometimes change can come from change!Tenyearold Joey Roth from America started saving up change he found anywhere —around his house, on the street, on his way to school ．．．And then he started putting it in a jar (广口瓶)．He even asked the tooth fairyto donate some change in his letter to her after he lost a tooth! (The tooth fairy is an imaginary person．) His collection, Jar for Change, has grown into a communitywide effort and he has raised over D|S10,000 all from people dropping coins into jars! The money he raises goes to help connect parents with their very sick babies．See what these people have done? You, too, can make a difference— no matter how old you are, where you live and how much you earn!1．How much would most people donate if they had 10,000 yuan?A．30－50 yuan．B．50－100 yuan．C．300－500 yuan． D．500－1,000 yuan．2．Mark Zuckerberg and his wife decided to make such a donation partly because of ________．A．Joey Roth B．their daughterC．their education D．their childhood3．What does the underlined word “that”in the third paragraph refer to?A．Making money．B．Spending money unwisely．C．Being the richest person in the world．D．Giving away D|S45 billion to help others．4．What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Joey Roth’s story?A．Everyone can help others．B．Giving makes people happy．C．Pocket money can be helpful．D．Giving is better than receiving．BThere is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many of us associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.We should not only embrace our heritage (遗产) through our culture’s food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.5．What’s the function of food mentioned in the article?A．To help motivate homesickness.B．To show national identity.C．To reflect a country’s history.D．To show a community’s superiority.6．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．The specific traditional food.B．The national culture.C．A traditional expression of food.D．The old-fashioned taste.7．Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants?A．To attach cultural importance to their dishes.B．To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.C．To make the dishes popular among customers.D．To present their own food culture in a new way.8．What’s he author’s attitude toward different food cultures?A．Negative.B．Balanced.C．Unfair. D．Unchangeable.CAlong with the progress of reform and opening up, the Chinese film industry has also made remarkable achievements and become in a flourishing (繁荣的) state in economic growth. It has recorded social changes in the past decades through the medium of the film. The film market of China has been much better than that of North America, becoming the largest in the world during the first season of 2019.In the original stage of reform and opening up, old Chinese movies were rescreen ed and foreign movies dubbed (译制). Audiences' enthusiasm for movies was lighted up by both these practices. In 1979, the attendance ofChinese moviegoers reached a record high of 29.3 billion. However, televisions and other entertainment activities sprang up in the late 1980s and drew many audiences away from movies when the film market faced a danger.The employment of a socialist market economy in China in 1992 brought energy again to the film industry. With the introduction of free competition and reforms, it made an abundant recovery and experienced rapid growth. In the same period, China began to introduce overseas movies into the home market, especially those from Hollywood. Despite the argument that foreign movies occupy the space of home-made ones, Chinese movies with increasingly higher quality have gained a firm foothold in the local market with box offices setting several new records.The development of the Internet has added new energy to the Chinese film industry. In 2015, the powerful Internet companies, one called Tencent and another Alibaba, developed their own film arm and began to adapt popular online stories for movies. With big data, more accurate marketing skills can target specific audiences to satisfy their personal preferences. Yet the development of online cinemas may pose threats to the survival of offline ones. Now the film industry is exploring more advanced film screening technologies to provide audiences with an improved movie experience.9．Which threat did the Chinese film market face in the late 1980s?A．Popularity of televisions.B．Development of online cinemas.C．A slowdown in economic growth.D．Introduction of overseas movies.10．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．The space of Chinese movies.B．The Chinese film industry.C．The socialist market economy.D．The introduction of reform and opening up.11．What does the author indicate in the end?A．Online cinemas will replace traditional ones sooner.B．The film screening technology is key to films' success.C．The Internet is a two-edged sword for the film industry.D．Movies made by Tencent and Alibaba are most successful.12．What would be the best title for the text?A．The Ever-changing Film MarketB．Popular Online FilmsC．Advanced Film TechnologiesD．Flourishing Chinese Films答案A语篇解读：不是一定要有很多钱才能帮助别人，我们也可以从小处做起。

超实用高考英语复习：阅读理解微技能之词义猜测(原题版)

阅读理解微技能之词义猜测题距离高考还有一段时间，不少有经验的老师都会提醒考生，愈是临近高考，能否咬紧牙关、学会自我调节，态度是否主动积极，安排是否科学合理，能不能保持良好的心态、以饱满的情绪迎接挑战，其效果往往大不一样。

以下是本人从事10多年教学经验总结出的以下学习资料，希望可以帮助大家提高答题的正确率，希望对你有所帮助，有志者事竟成！养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。

做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。

总之，在最后的复习阶段，学生们不要加大练习量。

在这个时候，学生要尽快找到适合自己的答题方式，最重要的是以平常心去面对考试。

英语最后的复习要树立信心，考试的时候遇到难题要想“别人也难”，遇到容易的则要想“细心审题”。

越到最后，考生越要回归基础，单词最好再梳理一遍，这样有利于提高阅读理解的效率。

另附高考复习方法和考前30天冲刺复习方法。

【思维导图】【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or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。

阅读理解-判断推理题

阅读理解词义猜测篇解题技巧近几年来高考英语阅读理解非常注重对词义的推断题，代词指代判断题和生词词义判断题,其解题思路如下:一、由人称演变过程推断代词意义代词意义判断题要求考生借助诧境逻辑推断人称代词和指示代词的意义。

人称代词意义判断题主要考查考生对it，指动物、无生命事物、特定事件、人，,they，指复数人、动物、物品、事件,属主格，,them(指复数人、动物、物品、事件,属宾格),he, she等代词指代意义的推断。

指示代词意义判断题主要要求考生对this,these, that, those等代词指代意义进行准确判断,考查考生对特定人、物和事件的再认能力。

历年高考实践表明,代词意义判断题容易出现在人称转换较多和动作变换频繁的语境当中。

解题时考生应认真阅读特定代词所在句和前后邻句的内容,搞清人称转换和动作变换的过程,弄清其来龙去脉和前因后果,这样就能准确推断其所替代的对象。

Ⅰ.事实细节题Ⅱ.猜测词义题学会”顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

在阅读解题时要注意从以下七个方面着手：1）根据定义或解释、说明猜测生词的词义2)根据对比关系猜测生词的词义3）通过因果关系猜测词义4）根据生活常识猜测词义5）根据同等关系猜测词义6）根据列举的事例猜测词义7）根据构词法知识猜测词义Ⅲ.推理判断题做这类题要求考生在阅读理解整体语篇的同时，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点。

不要主观臆断，凭空想象，任意发挥，而走入误区。

学生要学会运用主题句去推测、揣摩文字背后作者的意图,运用归纳、对比、演绎技能，运用背景知识去挖掘文章深层含义，从而正确理解作者的言外之意,同时认真体会文章的语气与感情基调(如：否定、厌恶、反问、讽刺等).这类试题常以如下句式发问：①What can you conclude/ imply from this passage？②What’s the author's attitude（态度）towards.。

？③We can infer /learn from the passage that...Ⅳ.主旨大意题这种题型要求考生能够把握文章的总体，并真正理解主题和中心；要求能较好地运用概括、判断、归纳、推理等逻辑思维方法解题，难度较大，属于高层次题.一般主旨大意题可以分为两类：1．确定文章的标题和主题(title or topic）标题位于文章之首，用来高度概括文章内容,点明文章主题。

它可以是单词,短语，也可以是句子。

要确定文章标题,首先，要在阅读原文的基础上，考虑标题是否与主题密切相关；其次，看标题是否能概括全文内容。

2021届高考英语词义猜测题题型分类与练习

2021届高考英语词义猜测题题型分类与练习1．词义猜测题——多措并举猜词义此类试题主要考查在特定语境中对生词或熟词生义的猜测能力。

做此类试题通常采用同义解释法，因果推断法、前后对比法、定义释例法、基本构词法和语境理解法。

总之，对于任何词汇的猜测都要基于对特定的语境理解和对主题的恰当把握。

(1)利用构词法猜词阅读中常常会遇到一些由熟悉的单词派生或合成的新词，考生可以根据构词法猜测词义。

例题：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.根据构词法知识可知，－zation为动词构成名词的后缀，意为“……化”，因此，可猜测industrialization为“工业化”之意，而globalization的含义为_全球化__。

(2)利用同义近义词猜词在生词所出现的上下文中，有时会出现与之同义或近义的词语或结构，这时可从熟悉的词语中推知生词的含义。

表示同义近义的信号词/词组常见的有：and，or，similarly，likewise 等。

例题：By translating the rich and humorous text of Lo v e's Labour's Lost into the physical language of BSL, Deafinitely Theatre creates a new interpretation of Shakespeare's comedy and aims to build a bridge between deaf and hearing worlds by performing to both groups as one audience.根据上文“By translating the rich and humourous text of Love's Labour's Lost into the physical language of BSL”中的translating可知，interpretation与translating同义，意为：_翻译__。

专题强化练(四)阅读理解之推理判断题(Ⅱ)A(2020·北京海淀区高三一模)Early February，I was flying up to Ohio.Well prepared，I had everything in my favour—fuel for five hours，charts in order，my flight plan on my lap，and a beautiful clear sky.I was wrong.I had heard about Alberta Clippers coming out of Canada.I knew all about them—how an entire air mass was streaming along at over sixty miles an hour.That morning，the Weather Briefer informed me that an Alberta Clipper was going over Chicago about the time I got to the airport.Chicago was some 400 miles from my destination—not a factor，or so I thought.That was the first hint I missed.The controller called and asked if I wanted to adjust my flight plan.I did the check and everything was in the green.So I told him no.Twenty minutes later the controller called again asking whether I wanted to adjust my flight plan.I checked everything.All was fine.I ignored that hint.I was fooled by the smooth air and limited experience with a rapidly moving air mass that was not changing violently.The Alberta Clipper was clipping along.The first blast of turbulence(气流) struck my plane.I got slammed into the roof，and then slammed sideways hitting the window with such force up my nose that I started bleeding.After a 2-hour flight of 100 miles，I realized fuel was now an issue.So was landing.I called Flight Following.We figured out theairport I could land.The engine stopped.So did my heart.There is no quiet as quietly stunning as this one at such an altitude.I had run out of fuel in the left tank，，，the engine quit for the last time.I was a glider now.I made a long lazy spiral descent.Down I went.I stopped at the very end of the runway.I made so many mistakes，missed so many clues，and showed my ignorance so much that I beat myself up over and over again in my mind.I learned textbook descriptions of Alberta Clippers and real-life experience with one are totally different.I will never forget the sound of that silence.I flew home the next day.Older.Wiser.Humbler.Lucky.1．We can know from the passage that Alberta Clippers ________．A．can bring snowstormsB．are quick-moving air massesC．are violently changing air pressureD．can lead to a sudden temperature drop2．What mainly led to the author's missing all the hints?A．His lack of flying experience.B．His poor preparation for the journey.C．His misjudgement about the air mass.D．His overconfidence in his piloting skills.3．Which is the right order of the events?a．I declared an emergency.b．My airplane was running out of fuel.c．I insisted on carrying on my flight plan.d．I was thrown to the roof by the violent air mass.e．I slightly banked my airplane and made a landing.A．dcbea B．dcebaC．cdabe D．cdbae4．The passage describes________．A．a rewarding training B．a narrow escapeC．a painful exploration D．a serious accident【语篇解读】本文讲述了作者遭遇“艾尔伯特风剪”时死里逃生的故事，旨在告诫读者不要盲目自信并随时保持警惕。

高考英语二轮复习阅读理解中词句猜测-词义猜测题考查解读

2020届二轮复习阅读理解中词句猜测-词义猜测题考查解读【题型解读】词义猜测题是阅读理解每年常考的题型。

词义猜测是一种阅读技巧和能力，主要考查考生在短时间内根据上下文快速猜测所指定的某一个生词、词组或者句子含义的能力，而这些词和词组往往都超出考纲范围，但在文章阅读中起到一定的作用。

由此看来，对于生词的理解是否准确，直接影响着阅读理解题得分的高低，对能否取得好的高考成绩有着举足轻重的作用。

词义猜测题的命题方式有：(1)What does the underlined word “...” probably mean?(2)The word “...” refers to/probably means .(3)The underlined word “...” could best be replaced by .(4)What do you think the expression “...” stands for?(5)By saying “...” we mean .(6)“...” used in the passage can best be defined as .(7)Which of the following words can take the place of the word “...”？二、解题技巧——巧用线索猜词义1．根据定义、释义或同位语进行猜测有些文章，特别是科技说明文，作者通常会对一些关键词或专业术语下定义，通过阅读定义和解释部分，考生便可理解该词或短语的意思。

有时，需要猜测的单词或短语后面会紧跟一个同位语，作为对前面的词或短语的解释说明。

有时，文章会用冒号、破折号、括号等对某个词或短语加以解释说明。

例如：Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down.One girl called 911.Two more ran to get the school nurse，who brought a defibrillator，an electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work.Luck stayed with them：Paris’s heartbeat returned.分析：所猜测单词defibrillator后面出现了同位语an electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work (一个可以电击心脏使其重新工作的电子器械)来进行解释说明，我们可推知其词义应为“(心脏)除颤器”。
