Our family loves the snow and cheers at the first good storm of the season. While others may think of Florida, we dream of a cabin vacation in New York’s Allegany State Park.
One particular trip, I recall, was just a bit more memorable than the rest. What we now refer to as the snow pants incident began accidentally enough. My husband, Bernie, and our 2-year-old daughter, Faith, were building a snow fort while I sledded down a nearby slope.
On the way back up from one trip, I saw a small stone tumbling down the track I had just made. I was puzzled, since all the other rocks were buried under several feet of snow, as I stood and wondered about the stone---it jumped! This was no stone. This was a mouse.
Now, I love nature, but that doesn’t include mic e. I loudly protested the invader, and Bernie, coming to my rescue, assured me that this was not a mouse but a mole, as if that mattered. A mouse or a mole I still didn’t like it.
Bernie and I stood for a few minutes watching the creature disappear from the path into the furry white and come back out again. But soon it disappeared and I headed up the hill again.
Shortly after I left, my husband screamed out, saying that the mole had gone up the leg of his snow pants. You have to understand Bernie can be quite a joker, and I smelled a rat. Not wanting to be a sucker and fall for another one of his jokes, I laughed it off.
When he started running for the cabin, though, I stopped laughing and decided maybe this was for real.
“Don’t you dare take that thing into the house!” I yelled. But like a flash, Bernie was already dashing through the cabin’s front door, with his snow pants, the mole and all. If it were me, I’d have been down to my long underwear right there in the snow without a second thought.
A few minutes later Bernie appeared. We relished the rest of our winter vacation, drinking lots of hot chocolate, sitting beside the fireplace and admiring nature---from
a safe distance.
5. Why did the author’s husband come to her rescue?
A. Because the “mouse” fright ened her
B. Because she hardly controlled the sled
C. Because the snow fort she built was damaged
D. Because she stepped on the stone and fell down
6. When her husband said that the mole had gone up the leg of his snow pants, the author was ___.
A. curious
B. puzzled
C. excited
D. doubtful
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. They enjoyed the rest of their holiday
B. They were fond of hot chocolate
C. Her husband had freedom at last
D. Nature can be dangerous at times
8. What could be the best title of the text?
A. A Memorable Experience with a Joker
B. The Painful Incident in Allegany State Park
C. Family’s Funny Vacation in the Snow
D. My Strong Love for Nature
【答案】5. A 6. D 7. A 8. C

每篇文章都会有一个主旨要义。

主旨要义题范围一般包括：短文标题、主题大意或段落大意等。

此题型要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点，概括中心思想。

考生需要分析文章的篇章结构，抓住文章的开头或结尾，从而找出能概括文章的主题句。

主题句的特点：（1）语言特点：归纳性、概括性、抽象性；（2）位置特点：主题句常出现在“总结性”语言的“信号词”后，如：in summary, in a word, as a result, finally, in short, in conclusion和in brief等；主题句常出现在“转移话题式”语言的“信号词”后，如：but, however, nevertheless等。

标题的语言特点：独特新颖、概括性强、短小精炼。

A．主旨大意主要的设题方式有：
（1）Which of the following best gives the main idea of this newspaper article?
（2）The best headline for this newspaper article is ____.
（3）What is the topic of the text?
（4）The text is mainly about ______.
（5）What's the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?
（6）What would be the best title for the text?
B．主旨大意主要的解题策略有：
（1）标题类。

文章标题可以是单词，短语，也可以是句子，它的特点是：短小精悍，多为一短语；涵盖性强，一般要求能覆盖全文，其确定的范围要恰当，既不能太大，也不能太小；精确性强，不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。

（2）主旨类。

概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就
通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。

文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。

此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。

当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。

答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。

如小题4，本题是标题类，标题的形式多样，整篇短文介绍作者一家人在雪地里度过假期，以及雪地里发生的有趣的事，C项“Family’s Funny Vacation in the Snow”涵盖性强，正好概括了这篇短文的大意。

C
In cooperation with German experts, Several scientists from the University of Bradford believe that they finally solved a mystery that has been confusing millions of people: why our hair turns gray with age.
The researchers came up with their results by examining native hair and cells from human hair follicles（毛囊）. They say the secret turns out to be hidden in catalase （过氧化氢酶）, which is causing hair to turn gray.
Catalase production goes down with age and stress, allowing hydrogen peroxide（过氧化氢） in the hair to do its favorite job—making hair gray, and then white, by blocking the normal production of melanin（黑色素）. Melanin is our hair's natural pigment that is responsible for the color of hair. It also determines the color of our eyes and skin.
Dr. Gerald Weizmann, an editor of a journal, says," All of our hair cells make a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide, but as we get older, this little bit becomes quite a lot, and our hair turns gray and then white."
The new study brings hope for millions of people who have to color their hair: to finally obtain some shampoo that will decrease levels of hydrogen peroxide and therefore restore gray or white hair to its natural color or even prevent it from turning gray.
The researchers are already conducting an experiment with such a drug on a few volunteers with gray hair and expect to get the results in the next two to three months. If everything works out, millions of people will choose between this drug and other previously used expensive dyes. However, even if the drug works, it will take at least several years before it can be brought to the market.
9. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The effect that gray hair has on people.
B. The chemical elements of people's hair.
C. The reason why people's hair turns gray.
D. New drugs to prevent people's hair from turning gray.
10. According to the passage, people's hair turns gray because of______.
A. a decrease in catalase
B. the death of hair cells
C. the production of melanin
D. a decrease in hydrogen peroxide
11. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The new study shows it's harmful to color our hair with dyes.
B. Dr. Gerald Weizmann is in charge of the new drug experiment.
C. Our hair cells make lots of hydrogen peroxide when we are young.
D. We may restore our gray or white hair to its natural color with shampoo.
12. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Only a small number of people can use the new drug.
B. Most of the volunteers in the experiment are old people.
C. The drug cannot be brought to the market soon even if it works.
D. The researchers have already known the results of the experiment.
【答案】9. C 10. A 11. D 12. C
【解析】
【分析】
本文是说明文。

科学家通过研究发现了造成头发随着年龄增长而变白的原因及可采取的措施。

【9题详解】
主旨大意题。

第一段Several scientists from the University of Bradford believe that they finally solved a mystery that has been confusing millions of people: why our hair turns gray with age.点明了本文主题：许多科学家最终解决了一个困扰了数百万人的谜团——为什么我们的头发会随着年龄的增长而变白，下文介绍具体研究过程和结果。

所以本文主要是谈论为什么我们的头发会随着年龄的增长而变白，故选C.
【10题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段They say the secret turns out to be hidden in catalase （过氧化氢酶 ), which is causing hair to turn gray, Catalase production goes down with age and stress, allowing hydrogen peroxide (过氧化氢) in the hair to do its favorite job-making
hair gray, and then white, by blocking the normal production of melanin (黑素) .可知造成头发变白的原因是catalase的减少, hydrogen peroxide阻碍黑色素的正常生产。

故选A. 【11题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段to finally obtain some shampoo that will decrease levels of hydrogen peroxide and therefore restore gray or white hair to its natural color or even prevent it from turning gray.可知我们可以通过一些能降低过氧化氢含量的洗发水，从而使灰白头发恢复到自然颜色，甚至防止头发变白。

故选D.
【12题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段However, even if the drug works, it will take at least several years before it can be brought to the market.可知即使药物有效，至少需要至少几年时间才能进入市场。

故选C.
【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。

文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。

该文是介绍一个研究结果的，该类文章的中心一般就在第一段。

D
Many years later, when people recall the 2018 Russia World Cup, they will remember many things. With the tragic ending of the defending champion Germany, Mexico has triumphantly and suddenly lost three goals in the face of Sweden. But people will never forget the back of a lonely person . That is Lionel Messi.
31-year-old Messi took off the green armband of his left arm and suddenly fell out. In the recent match, he and his team lost the game against France. The 19-year-old striker Mbappé relentlessly ripped apart the Argentine defense line and scored twice, which made a great contribution to the victory of France.
On this planet, anyone who knows a little about football knows the name Lionel Messi and his golden years from 2007 to 2017.
In 2007, 19-year-old Messi tied Real Madrid three times with a hat-trick, and began his legendary career.
In the past ten years, Mr. Football, the Golden Globe Award and the Golden Boot Award have been taken over by him.
He led Argentina and Barcelona to make a name for themselves in the world, and has a brilliant record in the Champions League, America's Cup and World Cup.
Eleven years later, Messi stood on the Kazan Stadium. After four World Cups, he knew that this might be the last time he led Argentina to the World Cup.
Since 1986, Argentina has never won a championship again. As a captain, he has a great responsibility, even stating that he would withdraw from the national team if he did not win the championship this year.
This is a prophecy.
Messi, who eventually failed to save the game, did not receive any interview after standing up on the lawn; leave behind only a legendary image for the world.
13. The underlined word “relentlessly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
__________?
A. mercilessly
B. bravely
C. actively
D. remarkably
14. Why did Messi take off the green armband of his left arm?
A. It is a common action of football players after each match.
B. He was disappointed about the result of the game.
C. He was too tired and wanted to change his clothes.
D. He was wounded on the arm during the game.
15. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Messi has ever played in Real Madrid and Barcelona.
B. Messi began his football career since 2007.
C. Argentina won the championship of the America’s Cup in 1986.
D. Messi might quit the Argentina National Team this year.
【答案】13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Messi的足球生涯及比赛经历。

【13题详解】
猜测词义题。

句意：19岁的前锋Mbappe无情地撕开了阿根廷的防线，攻入两球，为法国国家队做出了巨大贡献。

"relentlessly"无情地，与mercilessly同义，故选A.
【14题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段Messi took off the green armband of his left arm and suddenly fell out. In the recent match, he and his team lost the game against France.可知Messi在最近的一场比赛中，他和他的球队输给了法国队。

他对比赛结果失望，所以脱下左臂的绿色臂章。

故选B.
【15题详解】
细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段Since 1986, Argentina has never won a championship again. As a captain, he has a great responsibility, even stating that he would withdraw from the national team if he did not win the championship this year.可知Messi作为队长对阿根廷球队有责任，他甚至表示，如果今年没有赢得冠军，他将退出国家队。

故选D.
【点睛】词义猜测题要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。

因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。

下面结合近几年高考试题，对词义猜测的技巧加以解读。

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。

例如：It will be very hard but also very brittle—that is, it will break easily.从后面that is(也就是说)的解释中我们可以了解到brittle 是“脆”的意思。

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句意进行猜测。

例如：The “Chunnel”, a tunnel(隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.此句中a tunnel connecting England and France是Chunnel的同位语。

因此，The “Chunnel”就是英法之间的海底隧道。

3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测
在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，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。

例如：“Our parties are aimed for chi ldren 2 to 10,” Anaclerio said, “and they’re very interactive and creative in that they built a sense of drama based on a subject.”文中interactive是由前缀inter-(相互的)和active(活动的，活跃的)而构成的，同时根据上下文的意思可以判断，该词的含义应是“互
动的”。

4.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测
根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。

另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。

例如：A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun.从前后两句的意思可以看出，hassle和a basket of fun肯定是近乎相反的意义。

所以不难判断hassle 的意思是“困难，麻烦”。
