She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But when I go into class to take the exam, I would fall apart. I could just blank out because of nervousness and fear.” Hitoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology(人类学) student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed(加压力于) about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.1. The phrase “blank out” in Paragraph 1 refers to “_______.”A. lose interest in the examB. refuse to take the examC. get an extra paperD. be unable to think clearly(B)Read plenty of good books. When you come across a new word, or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. If you can't, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times. If you are really conscientious(认真的), write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list — preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook. Go over the list from time to time. Further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know. Then treat them just as you treat the new words you read.Learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes and roots. Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meaning of words.If you are studying a foreign language, be alert to words in that language which relate to words in English. English has inherited(继承) or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500 000~600 000 words from Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and German.1. The phrase “be alert to” in the third paragraph may best be replaced by “_______”.A. look atB. pay attention toC. write downD. learn by heart2.

My first jobwas to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.1. The word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.A. difficultB. boringC. interestingD. unusual(D)Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35.

Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job. Which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win, a laugh.1. The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. tried to hold backB. tried to setC. chargedD. gave out(E)Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound. Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings, forcing them to say little but listen attentively.Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving (coming back into use or existence) storytelling in Wales.“It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions. and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here.” Ambrose said.1.

Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”1. “Finally it gave” (Pa ragraph 5) means that _______.A. Luckily the door was torn away in the endB. At last the wrench went brokenC. The lock came open after all his effortsD.

One strength of the human conditions is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting(转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support — money aid, material resources, and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.1. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can _______.A. make people live more easilyB. smooth away daily problemsC. deal with life changesD. cure types of illnesses2. The researches show that people's physical and mental health _______.A. lies in the social medical care systems which support themB. has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersC. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesD. is related to their courage for dealing with major life changes3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cushions”?A. takes the place ofB. makes up ofC. lessens the effect ofD. gets rid of4. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of _______.A. instrumental supportB. informational supportC. social companionshipD. the strengthening of self-respect5. What is the subject discussed in the text?A. Interpersonal relationships.B. Kinds of social support.C. Ways to deal with stress.D. Effects of stressful conditions.2. D。

英语阅读理解试题中有不少这样的题目。
任何一个实词,只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一个确定的词义。
所谓上下文(context),正如英语辞典所解释的,其作用就是帮助确定上下文中的词、短语或句子的意义。
据此,我们可以尽可能地利用上下文来猜测词义,即从已知推求未知,也就是用我们所熟悉的词或短语来猜测我们不熟悉的词的词义。
猜测词义时,我们可以从三个方面来考虑:1)根据上下文已知部分进行逻辑上的推理。
2)运用语法知识进行语法分析。
3)依靠常识和经验做出判断。
Passage 1(2021·浙江绍兴市·九年级期末)Japan is a nation that look up to silence and good manners.Yet, when it comes to eating noodles,Japanese people can be the loudest in the world.According to a lifestyle website, slurping(发出啧啧声)when eating noodles encouraged in Japanese culture.It's believed that taking air into your mouth can improve the taste of the noodles and help cool down the food. It's also considered to be a way to show appreciation for the dish. Sometimes,just making the noise alone seems to make the noodles more enjoyable.It was not until a new expression —"noodle harassment(骚扰)"— came out online that Japanese people started to notice the problem.They found that the slurping noise was making some foreign visitors uncomfortable.Months ago, Japanese instant noodle(方便面)maker Nissin introduced a so-called noise-canceling fork. The fork looks like an electric toothbrush. It is connected to a mobile phone. When the person using the fork starts to slurp, the fork will send a sign to the person's phone.Then the phone will play: sound to cover the slurping noise.But is it really necessary? Dining traditions and table manners do be different. In India, people eat with their hands.They think they build a connection with the food in this way. However, people who are used to eating withforks might find it unacceptable to get their hands covered in oil or sauce. But this eating method is part of India's culture, just like Japan's slurping is part of its own."So,if you are eating noodles, please slurp,"wrote a Japanese food blogger."If anyone gets annoyed while you are doing that, pay no attention to them.They're missing the point totally."1.The underlined word"appreciation"in Paragraph 2 is probably similar to" ________".A.worry B.thanks C.hunger D.opinions2.Japanese people started to realize the noise problem when ________.A.a new expression came out on the InternetB.some Japanese students felt uncomfortableC.they wanted to make the noodles more enjoyableD.it was uncomfortable for themselves to make the noise3.The special fork cancels out the slurping noise by ________.A.playing a sound itself B.using an electric toothbrushC.connecting to a person's phone D.sending a sign to foreign visitors4.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A.stop Japanese people eating noodles aloudB.make Indian people get used to eating with forksC.encourage Japanese people to pay more attention to visitorsD.help people understand and value different cultures of eating【分析】本文是一篇说明文,主要通过讲述日本人吃面发出声音这一现象,告诉我们要尊重各地不同的文化和习俗。

"Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoe is amazing. It blows my mind.”The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to “find your possible" through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient's heart condition.“It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to,“ says Luna. “The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is never give up.

专题一阅读理解(词义猜测题)一、知识链接英语的一个显著特点是它庞大的词汇数量。
即使一个拥有上万单词量的人在阅读英语读物中也难免会遇到生词。
如果每遇到生词,就查阅词典,不但会降低阅读速度,而且往往使阅读变得索然无味。
据调查,影响人们阅读理解的,首先是词汇。
因此学习并掌握一些猜测生词词义的方法,对排除阅读时某些生词的干扰,降低生词率是十分必要的。
任何一个实词,只有在一定的上下文中才能表示一个确定的词义。
NMET阅读理解中猜测词义的考查内容既可以是文中的生词,也可以是熟词新义、短语或句子。
但都要求考生根据上下文线索(即具体语境)作出推断。
此类题的提问形式一般有:1. Which of the following is nearest/closest in meaning to"... "?2. The underlined word, means_______.3. The underlined phrase, means_______.4. The underlined sentence, means_______.二、真题演练(一)典型例题例1、T-shirts out; uniforms in School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U. S. A. That's no surprise, because they offer many benefits.They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not paytoo much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the "wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule-- wanting to look just liketheir friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down.In Paragraph 1, the word "benefits" probably means________.A. tasksB. messagesC. differencesD. advantages变式练习Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although mostpeople do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know littleor nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we doand that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony ofdying can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying andkilling improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage war.The underlined word "agony" in the last paragraph probably means________.A. formB. conditionC. painD. sadness(二)课堂练习10: OOPMScience/HeathIs it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs? The answer is "yes". According to the researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers. After a study of 800 persons with high blood pressure, they found that after 6 months those devoted to weight loss-exercise and eating a low-salt, low-fat food---lost about13 pounds and became fitter.

1)In slang the term jam constitutes a state of being in which a person findshimself or herself in a difficult situation.定义句的谓语动词多为:be, mean, deal with, be considered, to be, refer to, becalled, be known as, define, represent等。
②同位语:构成同位关系的两部分之间多用逗号连接,有时也使用破折号、冒号、分号、引号和括号等。
需要注意的是:同位语前还常有or, similarly, that is to say, in otherwords, namely, or rather等副词或短语出现。
2)William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn (纱线), good and ill togethe r.”The underlined word “mingled” in the paragraph most probably means “______”.A. simpleB. mixedC. sadD. happy3)Mary felt perturbed, that is, she was greatly disturbed by her sister's action.4)There are two types of fat, external fat(fat under skin)and internal fat (fat inside the body wall).③定语从句:定语从句有时起着解释和说明的作用,据此我们可以推断出所修饰词的含义。
5)The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year.6)Perhaps the days are gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Imaginary life.B. Simple life in the past.C. Times of inventions.D. Time for constant activity.2.根据逻辑关系猜测词义①根据对比关系猜测词义在一个句子或段落中,有时对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述,我们可以根据生词的反义词来猜测其词义。

7)Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I know. His brother, in contrast,is quite humble and modest.②根据类比关系猜测词义表示类比关系的词和短语主要有similarly, like, just as, also, as well等。
