五大方法巧解高考英语词义猜测题

五大方法巧解高考英语词义猜测题

根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义是高考阅读理解题6大出题方向之一，也是考查考生英语语言能力和文化品格的一种重要方式。

词义猜测题可以针对单词、短语的意思进行命题考查，还可以针对某一句子的准确理解或代词的精确指代进行设题。除了直接考查单词或短语词义猜测外，在阅读理解文章中，总会有一些单词或短语超出了《考试大纲》词汇表的范围，但又没有附加注释，也需要考生猜测，这也是对词义猜测的一种间接考查。

近三年词义猜测题考查频次一览表

近几年高考词义猜测题在数量上保持稳定，每套试卷中直接考查词义猜测的试题不超过2道。但试卷中阅读理解部分生词量略有扩大，试题难度稍有增加。例如在2017年全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解中，有部分超纲单词（如unifying, emotion和insight)给出了汉语注释，另外一部分超纲词汇(如recontextualization)却没有附加注释。这些单词既不在《考试大纲》规定的词汇表内，又未加注释，这就意味着考生不仅仅需要完成试题中直接的词义猜测题，还需要凭借自己的知识积累和学习能力猜测出未加注生词的词义，这样才能透彻地理解文章，完成阅读理解任务。

词义猜测题考查的范围主要在以下几个方面：生词、短语、熟词生义、句子和代词的指代。

常见的设问形式主要有以下几种：

What does the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...refer to?

What does the underlined phrase "..." in Paragraph...refer to?

What does the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...mean?

What does the author mean by "..." in Paragraph...?

Which of the following can replace the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...? 无论是直接的词义猜测题，还是阅读中需要理解不认识的生词，我们都可以利用构词法、逻辑关系、语法关系、生活常识、文化背景和上下文语境等方法来猜出单词或短语的意思。预计2018年此题型题量将会保持稳定，命题重点仍然是考查生词/短语的意思、熟词生义或代词的指代含义。

技巧1、利用构词法猜词义

汉字大多都是形声字，声旁表音，形旁表意。和汉字一样，英语单词也是按照一定的构词规则组成的，常见的构词法主要有三种：

1.合成法

合成法是指两个或多个单词按照一定的组合规律组合在一起，形成一个新的单词。一般来说，新的合成词的意思就是各个组成词的意思的综合。例如：workmate是由work（工作）和 mate（伙伴）组合成的新单词，它的意思是"工友，同事"。这样的单词在平时阅读中经常见到，也比较容易猜测出它们的意思。

【小试牛刀】

（1）猜猜看，以下单词是什么意思呢？

①ill-treat

②keyboard

③single-handed

④air-conditioned ⑤pineapple

【典例】

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."...

Q:What does the underlined word "downside" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Mistake.

B. Drawback.

C. Difficulty.

D. Burden.

【解析】

根据构词法进行猜测，downside由down和side组成，字面意思为"下面的一边"，初步可以猜测出词义为"不足部分"。再根据画线单词后的"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。故画线词意为"缺点"。B。

2.派生法

派生法是英语单词的主要构成法，它是通过在基础词根上添加前缀或者后缀来构造新词。一般来说，前缀改变词义不改变词性；而后缀改变词性不改变词义。例如：dis-,

un-,im-,in-,ir-,non-,mis-等是一些表示否定或者相反意思的前缀，它们用在单词的前面往往构成原单词的反义词。如：appear→disappear, possible→impossible, like→unlike, smoker→non-smoker等。又如前缀re-表示"又，再"；co-表示"共同"；mini-或者micro-表示"小的"；over-表示"过于"；super-表示"超级，极"；tele-表示"远的"等。

【小试牛刀】

（2）试试看，下面单词的意思你能猜出来吗？

①telescope

②irregular

③re-education

④im balance

3.转化法

把一种词性用作另一种词性而词形不变的方法叫做转化法。例如：The author emptied all his pockets to find his ticket．empty由形容词转化用作动词，在此表示"掏空"的意思。又如：Widespread protests have placed the President under serious pressure.place由名词转化成动词，表示"安置，使……处于某位置"。

【小试牛刀】

（3）以下例句中画线单词是什么意思，你知道吗？

①If you water plants, you pour water over them in order to help them to grow.

②When fortune smiled on him, he made the most of it.

③She smiled her thanks and arranged the guitar under her arm.

【典例】

(2017·全国卷Ⅰ·C篇改编)The music can t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same.Q:present在此处的词义是本句是2017年全国卷Ⅰ中C篇的一个长难句。句子之所以难以理解，是因为本句除了使用了对比结构外，还有词语的活用：presented。present 用作名词表示"礼物"；用作形容词表示"现存的，当前的"；在此句中被用作动词，表示"展现，表现"。这句话的意思是：今天的音乐不能以1908年或者1958年的方式表现出来。展现，表现。

【方法点津】

利用构词法猜测词义的特点：

（1）根据构词法猜测的词义一般比较接近单词的真实意思，准确率比较高；

（2）有些词具有多个词性或词义，添加不同的词缀会产生不同的词性和意义，需要细加区别。例如：like可以作介词表示"像"，也可以作动词表示"喜欢"，添加否定前缀un-构成另一个介词unlike表示"不像"，添加另一个否定前缀dis-构成动词dislike表示"不喜欢"。现在，你是否能猜出今年高考试题中recontextualization这个单词的意思？（语境重构）

【小试牛刀答案】

（1）①虐待,折磨；②键盘；③独自，单枪匹马地，独立；④装有空调的；⑤菠萝

（2）①望远镜；②不规则的，无规律的；③再教育；④不平衡，不公平

（3）①给……浇水；②惠及，垂青；③微笑着说

技巧2、利用逻辑关系猜词义

语言表达总是按照一定的逻辑关系展开的，根据语言的内在逻辑关系可以粗略地推断出生词词义或大致义域。对我们猜测词义帮助最大的逻辑关系有并列、转折和因果等。

1、并列关系

英语中可以使用also, as...as, similarly, and, or, just as, likewise等词语表示相同或者相近的意思，这种表示并列的关系中，只要我们认识其中一个单词，就可以推测出另一个单词的意思。如：Mr. Green loves to talk, and his brothers are similarly loquacious. 分析：这个句子里面使用了表示并列关系的单词and，还使用了表示"相似"的单词similarly，由此可知，画线单词loquacious表达的意思和"loves to talk"的意思一样，即"健谈的"。

【小试牛刀】

（1）猜猜以下画线单词的意思

①My mother is short and fat. The principal of the school is almost as plump as my mother, and much shorter.

②Children often try to emulate or copy the behavior that they see on television.

【典例】

(2017·全国卷Ⅱ·D篇)... Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. 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.

【解析】

本题考查文章中对一句话的理解，属于广义的词义猜测题。在这一句后面，又使用了一句同义并列的句子来对其进行解释，根据后一句话的意思 "正在吃午餐的攻击者变成了午餐"可以知道，画线句子是指形势发生了转变。A。

2.转折关系

in contrast, on the contrary, unlike, however, but, despite, while等词汇常

常会被用来表示前后关系的转折，其前后表示相反的意思。同样，我们也可以根据其中一个词汇来推知另一个表示相反意思的词汇。如：Like poles repel; unlike poles attract.分析：这是一个典型的表示对比关系的句子，前后表达了相反的意思，还使用了反义对比的词汇Like和unlike，由此可知，repel和attract的意思相反，repel在此表示"排斥"。

【小试牛刀】

（2）猜猜以下画线单词的意思

①Andrew is one of the most supercilious men I know. His brother, in contrast, is quite humble and modest.

②Our maths professor claims that all the problems he gives us are simple ones, but we feel that they are intricate and hard to solve．

3.因果关系

英语中使用because, since, for, as, so, as a result, thus, therefore等词汇表达因果关系，因为因与果具有直接联系，所以也可以用来猜测词义。

如：Tom is considered an autocratic administrator because he makes decisions without seeking the opinions of others.

分析：根据原因状语从句的内容（他不征求别人的意见就作出决定）可以推断出，生词autocratic的意思是"独断专行的"。

There were so many demonstrators in the Red Square that he had to elbow his way through the crowd.

分析：此句使用了结果状语从句，根据主句的描述"许多示威者"，我们便可推知elbow的词义为"用肘挤，用肘推"。

【典例】

...There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but youll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so its a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it....

Q:What does the underlined phrase "a pipe dream" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. A practical idea.

B. A vain hope.

C. A brilliant plan.

D. A selfish desire.

【解析】

本题考查猜测短语a pipe dream的意思。本段讲述了一种最好吃的苹果，它被叫作Orleans Reinette，但其种植条件苛刻，所以爱吃的人很难得到。该短语前有明确的结果连词so连接前后句，根据前面要求的条件可知，后面的a pipe dream表示"脱离实际的愿望",与B项"徒劳的希望"意思一致。B。

【方法点津】

利用逻辑关系猜测词义的特点：

（1）并列、转折和因果等逻辑关系都具有推理的必然性，因此使用逻辑关系推理的词义准确率会比较高；

（2）逻辑关系的判断需要平常多关注句式的逻辑关系，形成对逻辑关系词的敏感感知能力，快速有效地判断语句和词汇的关系和意义。

【小试牛刀答案】

（1）①丰腴的，微胖的；②模仿

（2）①傲慢的，高傲的；②错综复杂的

技巧3、利用语法关系猜词义

英语的一些语法结构或者行文技巧也可以帮助我们猜测词义，例如：下定义、定语从句、同位语、自问自答、举例和标点符号。

1.下定义

mean, refer to, is, that is, namely等后的内容往往是对前面进行注解性说明的，可以帮助猜测词义。

如：Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.

分析：本句就是一个由is引起的下定义的句子，is后面的内容对前面生词作了详细注解，故不难猜出anneal是"使（金属）退火"的意思。

【小试牛刀】

猜猜下面画线单词的意思

①Pantomime refers to a short play in which no words are spoken.

②It will be very hard but also very brittle — that is, it will break easily.

2.定语从句

如：Jack is now a florist, who keeps a shop for selling flowers in our district. 分析：非限制性定语从句修饰限定了先行词的内容和范畴,因此根据后面的从句可猜测出florist的意思为"花商"。

3.同位语

同位语是对其前的内容进行解释说明的，所以，同位语也是猜测单词词义的一个好办法。如：Semantics, the study of the meaning of words, is necessary if you are to speak and read intelligently.

分析：同位语the study of the meaning of words解释了Semantics的意思，因此可知，semantics的意思是"语义学"。

4.自问自答

如：What is plagiarism? It is using others ideas and words without clearly mentioning where the information is from.

分析：本句使用了自问自答的方式解释了单词plagiarism的意思,指"不说明信息的出处就使用他人的观点或话语"，由此可以猜出plagiarism的意思是"剽窃，抄袭"。

5.举例

如：The consequences of epochal events such as wars and great scientific discoveries are not confined to a small geographical area as they were in the past.

分析：本句使用such as列举了epochal events的一些典型例子，根据例子(战争和重大科学发现)可以推测出epochal event指的是"重大的事件，有划时代意义的事件"。

6.标点符号

冒号、破折号和括号等标点符号也可以表示解释，能帮助我们猜测词义。如：You may borrow from the library any periodicals: News Weekly, Readers Digest, The New Yorkers.

分析：冒号表示解释，根据冒号后面所列举的期刊可以猜出periodicals的意思是"期刊"。此外，periodical是一个由period（名词，时期）转化而来的单词，也可以根据构词法猜出这个单词的意思。

【典例】

(2017·天津卷·C篇)

...The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the "death valley" of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi\|autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future....

46.What does the phrase "death valley" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A place where cars often break down.

B. A case where passing a law is impossible.

C. An area where no driving is permitted.

D. A situation where drivers role is not clear.

【解析】

本题考查文章中短语death valley的含义。在这一句话后面使用了冒号，冒号后的内容对这个短语的意义予以解释：能够拖延无人驾驶未来的介于半自动驾驶和完全无人驾驶汽车之间的灰色区域。D。

【典例】

（2017·江苏卷·B篇）Before birth, babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices. They can even distinguish their mother s voice from that of a female stranger. But when it comes to embryonic learning（胎教），birds could rule the roost. As recently reported in The Auk: Ornithological Advances, some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch(孵化). New\|born chicks can then imitate their mom s call within a few days of entering the world. ...

58.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means "".

A. be the worst

B. be the best

C. be just as bad

D. be just as gooddoor

【解析】

在猜测短语rule the roost的意思时，我们可以注意到下文进行了举例，根据例子可知，鸟类在幼崽孵化之前就进行胎教，可见鸟类对幼崽抚育之好。B。

【小试牛刀答案】①哑剧；②脆的，易碎的

技巧4、利用生活常识和文化背景猜词义

在阅读有关日常生活或大家比较熟悉的事物的文章时，即使存在一些生词，我们也可以根据生活经验和常识以及文化背景来猜测单词的意思，

如：The snake slithered through the grass.

分析：蛇是一种爬行动物，根据这个生活常识可以猜出，slither意为"爬行"。

Most of the flowers are beginning to wither because of the cold weather.

分析：天气寒冷，大多数花都会凋谢，这是生活常识。由此可以猜出，wither的意思是"枯萎，凋谢"。

When a doctor performs an operation on a patient, he usually gives

an anaesthetic to make him unconscious, because he does not want his patient to feel pain or to know what is happening to him.

分析：根据常识可知，医生在给病人动手术之前，通常会使用麻醉药来减轻病人的痛苦。由此可知，anaesthetic的意思应该是"麻醉药，麻醉剂"。

高考示例：

...Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost....Q：What does the underlined phrase "die hard" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Change suddenly.

B. Change significantly.

C. Disappear mysteriously.

D. Disappear very slowly.

【解析】

本题考查对短语die hard意思的猜测。根据生活常识可以知道，习惯很难改变，而且在汉语中，形容某人固执时也会使用"死硬"这一说法。再结合文章意思可知答案。D。

技巧5、利用上下文语境猜词义

在文章中，任何一个单词都不是孤立存在的，它总要通过上下文和其他单词有着紧密的联系，通过这些联系也可以猜测出单词的意思，尤其是代词的指代含义。

高考示例

(2017·全国卷Ⅱ·B篇)...We shared the belief that if you re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his Newman s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events....26.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Their belief.

B. Their care for children.

C. Their success.

D. Their support for each other.dot

【解析】

代词指代的大多都是前面已经出现的名词，为了避免重复而使用了代词。根据上文的内容可知，让作者和朋友走到一起的是两个人共同的信念。A。

【方法点津】

代词指代题一般是在人物或事物关系比较复杂的情况下设置的一种题型，考查考生对复杂关系的分析能力，要求考生对代词所在句以及紧邻几个句子的结构和意思都有准确的理解。文章中的代词it, that, he, him, them等可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that 还可以指代一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，考生要认真查找；有时考生需要对前面提到的内容进行总结概括，才能得出代词所指代的对象。考生可利用上下文语境，采用逻辑关系梳理法，使人物或事物的关系明朗化。要记住代词通常出现在原词之后，根据这条原则考生可以快速锁定答案，最后带入原句中进行验证。

【典例】

The reason why a country like Britain does not buy snowploughs (扫雪机）is that they are used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as health care, education, helping the old and so on. Q: The word "they" refers to .

A. snowfalls

B. British people

C. snowploughs

D. countries like Britain

【解析】

这个题的解题思路有多个:根据代词的用法和单复数可知，代词用来指代前面出现的名词，they是指代名词复数的，观察前文，用作复数的名词就只有snowploughs。C。

【典例】

I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem cell courier. Since March 2012, Ive done 89 trips — of those, 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. ...29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "courier" in Paragraph 1?

A. provider

B. delivery man

C. collector

D. medical doctor

【解析】

本题考查单词courier的词义。根据下文中的"89 trips"和其后的"to carry stem cells(干细胞)"可知，作者是运送干细胞的人员。B。

2020五大方法巧解高考英语词义猜测题

五大方法巧解高考英语词义猜测题 根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义是高考阅读理解题6大出题方向之一，也是考查考生英语语言能力和文化品格的一种重要方式。 词义猜测题可以针对单词、短语的意思进行命题考查，还可以针对某一句子的准确理解 或代词的精确指代进行设题。除了直接考查单词或短语词义猜测外，在阅读理解文章中，总会有一些单词或短语超出了《考试大纲》词汇表的范围，但又没有附加注释，也需要考生猜测，这也是对词义猜测的一种间接考查。 近三年词义猜测题考查频次一览表 2017年2016年2015年 全国卷Ⅰ2（代词that；短语the water catcher） 1(单词courier) 1（单词contributions） 全国卷Ⅱ2（代词that；句子the tables are turned） 2(单词downside;代词 it) 1（短语signed off） 全国卷Ⅲ1（单词displaced） 2（代词them；短语 a pipe dream） / 近几年高考词义猜测题在数量上保持稳定，每套试卷中直接考查词义猜测的试题不超过 2道。但试卷中阅读理解部分生词量略有扩大，试题难度稍有增加。例如在2017年全国卷Ⅰ阅读理解中，有部分超纲单词（如unifying, emotion和insight)给出了汉语注释，另外一部分超纲词汇(如recontextualization)却没有附加注释。这些单词既不在《考试大纲》规定的词 汇表内，又未加注释，这就意味着考生不仅仅需要完成试题中直接的词义猜测题，还需要凭借自己的知识积累和学习能力猜测出未加注生词的词义，这样才能透彻地理解文章，完成阅读理解任务。 词义猜测题考查的范围主要在以下几个方面：生词、短语、熟词生义、句子和代词的指代。 常见的设问形式主要有以下几种： What does the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...refer to? What does the underlined phrase "..." in Paragraph...refer to? What does the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...mean? What does the author mean by "..." in Paragraph...? Which of the following can replace the underlined word "..." in Paragraph...? 无论是直接的词义猜测题，还是阅读中需要理解不认识的生词，我们都可以利用构词法、逻辑关系、语法关系、生活常识、文化背景和上下文语境等方法来猜出单词或短语的意思。预 计2018年此题型题量将会保持稳定，命题重点仍然是考查生词/短语的意思、熟词生义或代词的指代含义。

高考英语阅读理解猜测词义题解题方法

高考英语阅读理解猜测词义题解题方法 对于高考生而言，英语词汇量还是很有限的，想要完全通读高考英语试卷，还要会猜测词义。 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。 例1.Do you know what a “territory” is ? A territory is an area that an animal ,usually

the male, claims（声称）as its own.（2005年湖北卷） [分析]由定义可推知，这里territory指的是：“动物的地盘”。 例2.In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today．（2005年浙江卷） [分析]由同位语an endangered wild cat我们很快猜出生词ocelots的义域：一种濒临灭绝野猫。 例3. Here is The Pines ,whose cook has developed a special way of mixing foreign food such as caribou ,wild boar ,and reindeer with surprising sauces . （2004年福建卷） According to the passage ,The Pines is a . A．place in which you can see many mobile homes B．mountain where you can get a good view of the valley C．town which happens to be near the Banff National Park D．restaurant

高考英语阅读理解词义猜测题专题解析2

第一编专题一考点4 A (2019·天津卷，D) Would you BET on the future of this man？He is53years old.Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune.A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning，and he has often been in prison.Driven by heaven－knows－what motives，he determines to write a book. The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than350years.That former prisoner was Cervantes，and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》)．And the story poses an interesting question：why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days，while others go to seed long before? We've all known people who run_out_of_steam before they reach life's halfway mark.I'm not talking about those who fail to get to the top.We can't all get there.I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years. Most of us，in fact，progressively narrow the variety of our lives.We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it.Nothing surprises us.We lose our sense of wonder.But，if we are willing to learn，the opportunities are everywhere. The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills.We learn to bear with the things we can't change.We learn to avoid self－pity.We learn that however much we try to please，some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing. With high motivation and enthusiasm，we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However，we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我)，whether to loved ones，to fellow humans，to work，or to some moral concept. Many of us equate(视……等同于)“commitment”with such“caring”occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellence—whether they are driving a truck，or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.They've learned life's most valuable lesson. 文章大意：主题：人与自我(做人与做事)；话题：过有意义的成年人生活。本文是一篇议论文，文章主要论述了如何过一种有意义的成年人生活。

高考英语阅读理解猜测词意(词义)解题策略(附练习答案)

2017届新课标高考英语阅读理解猜测词意（词义）解题策略 高考考情分析解读： 词义猜测题是高考阅读理解题中的一种常见的题型。词义猜测可以是对一个单词的意义推断，也可以是对一个短语或一个句子的意义推断，既可以是生词生义，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。通过对近年新课标全国卷分析统计来看，词义猜测题一般有1－2题。考查相对比较稳定，但难度略有增加，需要在复杂的句式中通过上下文综合分析才能得出答案。在词义猜测题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。 2016年全国卷设问形式例子： (1)What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？(2016年课标全国卷Ⅱ) (2)What does the underline phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean？(2016年课标全国卷Ⅲ) (3)What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to？(2015年课标全国卷Ⅰ) 常见的命题形式有： The underlined word in the second paragraph means “________”． Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph? The underlined word “________” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “________”． What does the phrase “________”in Paragraph 1 mean? 本学案结构：
