考点3 段落大意题辨明题类段落大意题主要考查文章某一段落的主要意思，是对一个段落的基本内容的简缩和概括。
考生要用准确的、简练的语言把一个段落的主要意思明确而完整地表达出来。
设问形式常有：(1)What is the first paragraph mainly about?(2)What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?(3)What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?技法点拨1．定位段落主题句，做到首尾兼顾做题时要特别注意“首尾兼顾”，即所问段落的首句和尾句。
一是因为它们往往体现主旨要义，二是因为利用这些信息可以迅速提炼段落结构框架，在框架下判断主旨，其准确性更高。
2．通过暗示揣摩段落大意有时，作者不直接写出主题句，而是通过情感态度等方法暗示性地体现主题，此时要根据文中所叙述的事实和线索综合判断去揣摩并概括出段落大意。
真题体验(2023·新高考全国Ⅰ卷D)On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect．The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate．This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same．Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate．When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate．If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out．In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent．If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down．But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon．The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number ofindependent individuals．For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals．In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion．Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of the time, but it wasn't the dominant response．Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together”．Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error．Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous．32．What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about？A．The methods of estimation．B．The underlying logic of the effect．C．The causes of people's errors．D．The design of Galton's experiment．【解题示范】第一步：阅读题干，找出关键词：Paragraph 2，快速将解题信息定位到文章的第二段；第二步：根据段落的内容，分析选项，判断概括准确的选项：根据“This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren't always the same．Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate．When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate．If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won't cancel each other out．In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people's estimates be independent．If for whatever reasons, people's errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down．(这种效应利用了这样一个事实，即当人们犯错误时，这些错误并不总是相同的。

江苏省和桥高级中学06届高考英语二轮复习阅读理解专题指导（猜测词义题）第四讲猜测词义题在阅读中我们经常会遇到许多生词。
这时许多同学立即翻阅词典，查找词义。
这样做不但费时费力，而且影响阅读速度、影响对语篇的整体把握。
事实上，阅读材料中的每个词与它前后的词语或句子甚至段落都有联系。
我们可以利用语境（各种已知信息）推测、判断某些生词的词义。
近年来全国统一高考中加大了对考生猜词义能力的考查，因此，掌握一定的猜词技巧，对突破高考阅读理解、提高我们的英语语言能力都有非常重要的意义。
常见的题干有：1) Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the word？2) The word... could best be replaced by.3) In the... paragraph, the word... means (refers to).4) According to the passage,... probably means.5) The author uses the word... to mean.猜测词义时，一般可利用以下四个方面的线索：一是针对性的解释针对性解释是作者为了更好的表达思想，在文章中对一些重要的概念、难懂的术语或高深的词汇等所做的通俗化的解释。
这些解释提供的信息明确具体，所使用的语言通俗易懂，利用它们来猜测词义就非常简单。
1.根据定义（definition）猜测词义如果生词有一个句子（定语从句或是同位语<同位语前常有or, similarly, that is to say, in other words, namely, or other, say, i.g. 等>或是同位语从句）或段落来定义,或使用破折号，冒号，分号后的内容和引号括号中的内容加以解释和定义，那么理解这个句子或段落本身就是推断词义。
定义常用的谓语动词多为：be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, be called, define, represent, refer to, signify 等。
【精选】高考英语二轮复习专题一阅读理解第4讲词义猜测题课件
答案：A 解析：根据第二段中的“hoping that the book will have an adventure，traveling far and wide...”可知，此处 的“it”指的是“the book”。故选 A 项。
三、句意猜测题
句意猜测题要求通过阅读文章理解特别句子的意 思，然后用合适的语句对其进行解释性的描述，利用选 项中的差别语意进行对比，代入原句，达到准确理解。 可以采取以下方法：
Once they arrive, the_tables_are_turned ． The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
… 33．What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in Paragraph 3? A．The attackers get attacked. B．The insects gather under the table. C．The plants get ready to fight back. D．The perfumes attract natural enemies.
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， 但掌握了一定的构词知识，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。

2024届高考英语二轮专题复习与测试专题一阅读理解第四讲词句猜测题__上下语境觅答案
第四讲词句猜测题——上下语境觅答案一、了解题型特点与设问方式题型特点设问方式词句猜测题着重考查利用同义或反义关系、构词法、语法和语篇文脉等理解生词的能力。
主要通过以下两点进行考查。
1.要求根据阅读材料，结合应有的常识和经验判断生词、词组或者熟词在特定语境中的含义以及一些句子的意思。
2.代词指代题也是词句猜测的常考题型该类题型常见的设问方式：The word“...”refers to/probablymeans“”.The underlined word“...”could best be replaced by.What do you think the expression“...”stands for？By saying“...”the author means.“...”as used in the passage，can best be defined as.Which of the following words can take the place of the word“...”？二、掌握3大猜测词义技法为做好词句猜测题，应当熟练掌握《普通高中英语课程标准》规定的词汇，在日常学习、训练中注重积累生僻词汇和短语，掌握构词法的基本知识，对各种前缀、后缀的变化形式了然于胸；还应学会根据上下文语境进行合理推测，掌握一定的解题技巧。
下面介绍三种行之有效的猜词技巧，希望对学生提高阅读理解中词句猜测题的解题能力有所帮助。
技法（一）利用上下文线索猜测词义定义作者有时会通过给某些词汇下定义来帮助读者理解词义，尤其是在一些科普类、社科类以及与专业内容相关的文章中。
此时，常使用的信号词汇有i.e.、is、are、is/are called、mean、refer to、known as等[典例]（2021·全国甲卷）Southbank，at an eastern bend in the Thames，is the center of British skateboarding，where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing.I loved it.I soon made friends with the local skaters.We spoke our ownlanguage.And my favorite：Safe.Safe meant cool.It meant hello.It meant don't worry about it.Once，when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆），I fell onto the stones，damaging a nerve in my hand，and Toby came over，helping me up：Safe，man.Safe.A few minutes later，when I landed the trick，my friends beat their boards loud，shouting：“Safe！Safe！Safe！”And that's what mattered—landing tricks，being a good skater. 29.What do the underlined words“Safe！Safe！Safe！”probably mean？A.Be careful！B.Well done！C.No way！D.Don't worry！[解析]根据本段中的And my favorite：Safe.Safe meant cool.可知，作者将“Safe”定义为“cool”，即出色的；同时结合下文，在作者成功完成动作后，朋友们应该用“Safe”为作者喝彩。

4．同义词或近义词 在同一句、同一段或同一篇文章中，作者为了避免语言的单 调、重复，有时会使用意思相同或相近的词。因此，考生只要读 懂上下文，知道其中一个词的意思，就能猜出另外一个词的意思。 [典例] (2018·全国卷Ⅲ阅读 D 节选)[1]Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects.

专题一阅读理解第4讲词义猜测题[真题演练]A(2016·全国卷Ⅱ，阅读理解B)Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside．I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare，“But I'm just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you're asleep？”“Oh，sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？”“Nobody.I do it.”“Really—at night，when you're asleep？”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？”【语篇解读】本文属于记叙文，作者通过让学生拼装玩具培养学生的创造性和想象力。
5．The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________．A．know more about the studentsB．make the lessons more excitingC．raise the students' interest in artD．teach the students about toy design解析：推理判断题。
根据文章第二段可知当我把拼装式玩具放在学生面前的时候，有些学生犹豫着在等着看别人如何行动，有一些学生查看了使用说明并根据模型做出了一些东西。
而另外一些学生则根据本人的想象力做出了一些东西。
通过观察我对不同的学生的性格有了不同的理解。
故A正确。
答案：A6．What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．He liked to help his teacher.B．He preferred to study alone.C．He was active in class.D．He was imaginative.解析：推理判断题。
根据文章第三段可知这个男孩在空闲时间拼装这些玩具，而且他的作品堆满了艺术教室的架子，家里的卧室里也有很多。
再根据本段倒数第三句“Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work”说明他是一个很有想象力和创造性的人。
故D项正确。
答案：D★7.What does the underlined word “downside” in Parag raph 4 probably mean?A．Mistake. B．Drawback.C．Difficulty. D．Burden.解析：词义猜测题。
根据画线单词后一句“I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.”可知我冒着失去那些有不同思维方式的学生的危险。
说明我的这种教育方法也有不足之处。
故划线词意为“dr awback(缺点)”。
故B正确。
答案：B8．Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A．To help them to see their creativity.B．To find out about their sleeping habits.C．To help them to improve their memory.D．To find out about their ways of thinking.解析：推理判断题。
根据文章最后对话内容可知作者鼓励孩子们说出最有趣的有创造性和想象力的梦，并鼓励他们在白天的课堂里把梦的内容做出来。

答案：AB(2016·全国卷Ⅰ，阅读理解C)(导学号 58210012)I am Peter Hodes，a volunteer stem cell courier．Since March 2012，I've done 89 trips—of thos e，51 have been abroad.I have 42 hours to carry stem cells(干细胞) in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.In all，from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72 hours at most.So I am always conscious of time.I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America.I picked up the stem cells in Providence，Rhode Island，and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London.But when I arrived at the check－in desk at Providence，the lady on the desk said：“Well，I'm really sorry，I've got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said：“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please，please，you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything.She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，re－routed(改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.For this courier job，you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了作者在一次运送造血干细胞途中的一段经历，表现了人们之间的友爱。
