考点一 考查猜测单词题
(2023北京卷D篇)
As quantum cmputing attracts mre attentin and funding, researchers may mislead investrs, jurnalists, the public and, wrst f all, themselves abut their wrk's ptential. If researchers can't keep their prmises, excitement might give way t dubt, disappintment and anger, Jhnsn warns. Lts f ther technlgies have gne thrugh stages f excitement. But smething abut quantum cmputing makes it especially prne t hype, Jhnsn suggests, perhaps because “‘quantum’ stands fr smething cl yu shuldn't be able t understand.” And that brings me back t Taylr, wh suggested that I read his bk Q fr Quantum.
3.What des the underlined wrd “prne” in Paragraph 3 mst prbably mean?
A.Open. B.Cl. C.Useful. D.Resistant.
3. A推测词义题。根据画线词所在句中的“Jhnsn able t understand”可推知，借助未知的心理，量子计算的某些东西使它特别容易被炒作，由此推知这里的“prne”就是“pen”的意思。
如何猜测单词的意思
（1）常见的设问方式：
①What d the underlined wrds “” mean in paragraph 7?
②What des “” underlined in paragraph 3 refer t?
③ The wrd "" in paragraph 2 means _________?
④What d the underlined wrds “” prbably mean?
（2）解题技巧：
一．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。标点符号，如逗号后的解释(名词同位语)、破折号后的解释、括号内的解释等。这都是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如：
①Annealing is a way f making metal sfter by heating it and then letting it cl very slwly.句子给予了annealing一个明确的定义，即“退火”。
②It will be very hard but als very brittle — that is, it will break easily.从that is(也就是说)后的解释中我们可以了解到，brittle是“脆的”意思。
二．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，因此可利用同位关系对前面的词义或句意进行猜测。例如：
①They traveled a lng way, at last gt t a castle,_a large building in ld times.
同位语部分“a large building in ld times”给出了castle的确切词义，即古时候的“城堡”。
②We are n the night_shift — frm midnight t 8 a．m. — this week.
两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明night shift是“夜班”的意思。
三．根据构词法(前缀、后缀、派生等)进行猜测
在英语中，有很多词可以通过增加前缀和后缀的方式，构成新词。乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但在掌握了一定的构词知识之后，就不难猜出它的词义。例如：
“Our parties are aimed fr children 2 t 10，” Anacleri said, “and they're very interactive and creative in that they built a sense f drama based n a subject.”
文中interactive是由前缀inter­(相互的)和active(活动的，活跃的)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”。
四．根据因果关系进行猜测
在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。例如：
①The lack f mvement caused the muscles t weaken. Smetimes the weakness was permanent. S the player culd never play the sprt again.
从后面的结果“永远不能再运动”可以推测permanent的意思为“永远的，永久的”。
②Mary didn't ntice me when I came int the classrm, because she was cmpletely engrssed in her reading.
从前面的结果“当我走进教室时，玛丽没有注意到我”可以推测engrssed的意思为“全神贯注的”。
五．根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测
文章中的代词it, that, he, him或them可以指代上文提到的人或物，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，要认真查找；有时也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物。例如：
Hwever, the questin that “mn peple” asked is still an interesting ne. A grwing number f scientists are seriusly thinking abut it.
it指的是月球人(mn peple)所问的问题(the questin)。
六．根据同义或近义关系进行猜测
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。
Adults understand what it feels like t be flded with bjects. Why d we ften assume that mre_is_mre when it cmes t kids and their belngings? The gd news is that I can help my wn kids learn earlier than I did hw t live mre with less.
…
What d the wrds “mre is mre” in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A．The mre, the better.
B．Enugh is enugh.
C．Mre mney, mre wrries.
D．Earn mre and spend mre.
[分析] 根据该段第一句“Adults understand what it feels like t be flded with bjects.”可知，作者认为成年人都理解物质过剩的那种感觉，后面又用反问句提出了问题：但是，说到孩子们和他们的物品，我们为什么通常又认定mre is mre呢？由此推知，这里的 mre is mre与前面的 flded with为近义呼应，指“越多越好”。故选A。
七．根据转折或对比关系进行猜测
根据上下句的连接词，如but, hwever, therwise等可以推断上下文之间的逻辑关系，从而可以依据某一句的含义，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：
①A child's birthday party desn't have t be a hassle;_it can be a basket f fun.
从分号前后两句的意思可以看出，hassle和a basket f fun是相反的意义，所以不难判断hassle的意思是“困难，麻烦”。
②She is usually prmpt fr all her class, but tday she arrived in the middle f her first class.
but一词表示转折，因此but前后的意思正好相反。根据后半句的意思“她今天第一节课上了一半才来”，可得出她平时一向“准时”的结论。
【2024年北京市朝阳区高三一模】The streets and rfs f cities all absrb heat, making sme urban areas htter than rural nes. These “urban heat islands” can als develp undergrund as city heat spreads dwnward, and subway tracks and ther subsurface infrastructure(基础设施) als cnstantly radiate warmth int the surrunding earth.
A new study f dwntwn Chicag shws undergrund htspts may threaten the very same structures that give ff the heat in the first place. “Withut anyne realizing it, the city f Chicag’s dwntwn was defrming,” says study authr Rtta Lria, an envirnmental engineer.
Humans aren’t the nly ptentially affected. “Fr a lt f things in the subsurface, it’s kind f ‘ut f sight, ut f mind’,” says Grant Fergusn, a gelgist. But the undergrund wrld is full f creatures that have adapted t subsurface existence such as insects and snails. As the temperature rises because f climate change and undergrund urban develpment, scientists are keeping eyes n the ptential implicatins fr undergrund ecsystems.
But the questin f hw undergrund htspts culd affect infrastructure has gne largely unstudied. Because materials expand and cntract with temperature change, Rtta suspected that heat cming frm undergrund culd be cntributing t wear and tear n varius structures. T understand hw undergrund temperature difference has affected the grund’s physical prperties, he used a cmputer mdel t simulate(模拟) the undergrund envirnment frm the 1950s t nw—and then t 2050. He fund that by the middle f this century, sme areas may lift upward by as much as 0.50 inch r settle by as much as 0.32 inch, depending n the sil makeup f the area invlved. Thugh these may sund like small displacements, Rtta says they culd cause cracks in the fundatins f sme buildings, causing buildings t fall.
Kathrin Menberg, a gescientist in Germany, says these displacement predictins are far beynd her guesses and culd be linked t the sft, clay-heavy sils. “Clay material is particularly sensitive,” she says, “It wuld be a big issue in all cities wrldwide that are built n such material.”
Like climate change abve the surface, undergrund changes ccur gradually. “These effects tk decades t develp,” Fergusn says, adding that increased undergrund temperatures wuld likewise take a lng time t dissipate n their wn. “We culd basically turn everything ff, and it’s ging t remain there, the temperature signal, fr quite a while.”
But Fergusn says this wasted heat energy culd als be reused, presenting an pprtunity t bth cl the subsurface and save n energy csts. Still, this assumptin culd fail as abvegrund climate change cntinues t bst undergrund warming. Hwever slwly, this heat will gather beneath ur feet. “It’s like climate change,” Rtta Lria says. “Maybe we dn’t see it always, but it’s happening.”
30．What des the underlined wrd “dissipate” in Paragraph 6 prbably mean?
A．Shw.B．Stay.C．Develp.D．Disappear.
【答案】 30．D
30．词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“adding that increased undergrund temperatures wuld likewise take a lng time t(他补充说，地下温度的升高同样需要很长时间才能)”及后文“We culd basically turn everything ff, and it’s ging t remain there, the temperature signal, fr quite a while.(我们基本上可以把所有的东西都关掉，温度信号会在那里停留很长一段时间)”可推知，关掉开关，也不会导致地下温度升高立即消失，因此，地下温度升高需要很长时间才能消失，划线词与disappear意思一致。故选D。
考点二 考查猜测短语的含义题
（2024 北京卷 C篇）
The 18th-century philspher Kant argued that the universe ultimately cnsists f things-in-themselves that are unknwable. While he held the ntin that bjective reality exists, he said ur mind plays a necessary rle in structuring and shaping ur perceptins. Mdern sciences have revealed that ur perceptual experience f the wrld is the result f many stages f prcessing by sensry systems and cgnitive(认知的) functins in the brain. N ne knws exactly what happens within this black bx. If empirical(实证的) experience fails t reveal reality, reasning wn’t reveal reality either since it relies n cncepts and wrds that are cntingent n ur scial, cultural and psychlgical histries. Again, a black bx.
2. What des the phrase “cntingent n” underlined in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Accepted by. B. Determined by.
C. Awakened by. D. Discvered by.
【答案】B推测词义题。
【解析】根据画线短语所在句 “If empirical experience fails t reveal reality, reasning wn’t reveal reality either since it relies n cncepts and wrds that are cntingent n ur scial, cultural and psychlgical histries.”可知，如果实证经验无法揭示现实，那么推理也不会揭示现实，因为它依赖于概念和文字。此处that引导定语从句，指代cncepts and wrds，作主语；根据画线短语后的ur scial, cultural and psychlgical histries可知，此处指推理所依赖的这些概念和文字由我们的社会、文化和心理学的历史决定。由此可推知，cntingent n意为“取决于”，与 B 项意思相近。 故正确答案为B。
如何猜测短语的含义
（1）常见的设问方式：
①What d the underlined phrase “” mean in paragraph 2?
②Which f the fllwing best explains “” underlined in paragraph 2?
③What d the underlined phrase “” mean in paragraph 3?
④What d the underlined phrase "" refer t in the last paragraph?
（2）解题技巧：
猜测短语题要利用出现短语的上文与其意义上的联系或下文进一步的叙述来猜测它的意思或利用文章中所出现的与短语意思相反的内容来猜测其语意。
Reading Art:Art fr Bk Lvers is a celebratin f an everyday bject—the bk, represented here in almst three hundred artwrks frm museums arund the wrld. The image f the reader appears thrughut histry, in art made lng befre bks as we nw knw them came int being. In artists’ representatins f bks and reading, we see mments f shared humanity that g beynd culture and time.
In this “bk f bks,” artwrks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these cnnectins between different eras and cultures. We see scenes f children learning t read at hme r at schl, with the bk as a fcus fr relatins between the generatins. Adults are prtrayed (描绘) alne in many settings and pses—absrbed in a vlume, deep in thught r lst in a mment f leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds f years ag, but they recrd mments we can all relate t.
Bks themselves may be used symblically in paintings t demnstrate the intellect(才智), wealth r faith f the subject. Befre the wide use f the printing press, bks were treasured bjects and culd be wrks f art in their wn right. Mre recently, as bks have becme inexpensive r even thrwaway，artists have used them as the raw material fr artwrks—transfrming cvers, pages r even cmplete vlumes int paintings and sculptures.
Cntinued develpments in cmmunicatin technlgies were nce believed t make the printed page utdated. Frm a 21stcentury pint f view, the printed bk is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-pwered e-reader. T serve its functin, a bk must be activated by a user: the cver pened, the pages parted, the cntents reviewed, perhaps ntes written dwn r wrds underlined. And in cntrast t ur increasingly netwrked lives where the infrmatin we cnsume is mnitred and tracked, a printed bk still ffers the chance f a whlly private, “ff-line” activity.
3. What d the underlined wrds “relate t” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Understand. B. Paint.
C. Seize. D. Transfrm.
【答案】A推测词义题。
【解析】These scenes（这些场景）指的是孩子们在家或学校学习阅读以及成年人沉浸在一卷书中，陷入沉思或沉浸在片刻的休闲中。并列连词but表示转折，前一分句说这些场景可能在数百年前被绘制，距离现在已经十分久远，后一分句与前一分句构成转折关系，所以应表示我们现在仍然能够理解画中描绘的那些时刻。故选A。

考查猜测句子的含义
I was fifteen mnths ld, a happy carefree kid until the day fell. It was a bad fall. I landed n a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enugh t blind it.

My mama’s lve and encuragement were the spark that gave me the cnfidence t vercme my wn dubt. I had faced adversity, encuntered my prblems head n, and learned nt nly t appreciate myself but t have deep cmpassin fr thers.

【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B
【难度】0.65
【知识点】家人和亲人 、情感、记叙文、直接理解、文章大意、句意猜测
1．细节理解题。由第一段中的“I landed n a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enugh t blind it.”（我倒在了一只玻璃兔上，它伤得我的眼睛都看不见东西了。），可知由于那次可怕的事故，作者的眼睛受伤了。故选B项。
2．句意猜测题。由第二段中的“I walked with my face lking at the flr s peple wuld nt see the ugly me.”（我走路的时候，我的脸看着地板，这样人们就不会看到丑陋的我了。）和第三段中的“Yet mama wuld say t me, at every turn, “Hld yur head up high and face the wrld.” It became a litany that I relied n.”（可是妈妈每次都会对我说：“抬起头来，面向世界。”这成了我所依赖的一句老话。），可知作者低头走路是因为自卑想遮掩自己的丑陋，妈妈说“抬起头来，面向世界”是为了鼓励作者勇敢地面对生活，自信地生活。故选C项。

②By saying “” in Para. 2, the authr means _______.
③What d the wrds “” in paragraph 1 prbably mean?
④What des the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
（2）解题技巧
句意理解题通常需要考生理解的是一个具有概括性的句子或是考查考生对谚语、格言警句等的理解，要求考生通过上下文的情景暗示及文章的主题思想来判断句意，只有紧密结合语境，才能既理解相应的字面意思，也理解相应的深层含义。
I’d dne it befre, and s I had n reasn t believe that this time wuld be any different. I was sure that when I returned hme frm my missin trip. As always, I’d bring back nthing mre than sme mud n my bts. A hle r tw in my jeans and, f curse, a lt f great memries.
The summer befre my high schl graduatin, I went t West Virginia with thers as vlunteers t repair the hmes f thse in need. Arriving at ur destinatin, my grup was assigned the task f rebuilding sectins f a hme that had been damaged by fire. N sner had we parked n the hme’s dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl, n mre than six years ld, standing in the drway f the family’s temprary hme. Sheless and wearing dirty clthes and the biggest smile I’d ever seen, she yelled, “Ma, Ma, they really came!” I didn’t knw it then, but her name was Dakta, and fur mre days wuld pass befre she’d say anther wrd near me.
Behind Dakta was a wman in a wheelchair — her grandmther, we’d sn learn. I als discvered that my jb that week wuld be t help change a fire-damaged dining rm int a bedrm fr this little girl. Over the fllwing days, I nticed Dakta peeking at us every nw and then as we wrked. A few times, I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying arund us like a tiny butterfly but keeping t herself.
By ur fifth and final day, hwever, this was abut t change. Befre I went t wrk n her hme n that last mrning, I spke fr a mment r tw with the grandmther. I was especially pleased when she tld me hw much Dakta lved her new rm — s much. As we talked, I nticed smething I hadn’t seen befre — Dakta was hiding behind her grandmther.
Cautiusly, she stepped int view, and I culd see that just like her clthes, her face was still dirty. But n amunt f sil culd hide thse bright blue eyes and the big smile. She was simply adrable. Slwly, she began walking tward me. It wasn’t until she was just inches away that I nticed the flded piece f paper in her tiny hand. Silently, she reached up and handed it t me. Once unflded, I lked at the drawing she’d made with her brken crayns n the back f an ld clring bk cver. It was f tw girls — ne much taller than the ther — and they were hlding hands. She tld me it was suppsed t be me and her, and n the bttm f the paper were three little wrds that instantly brke my heart. Nw almst in tears, I culdn’t cntrl myself anymre — I bent dwn and hugged her. She hugged me, t. And fr the lngest time, neither f us culd let g.
I left fr hme early the next mrning. I was returning with muddy bts and hles in my jeans. But because f Dakta, I brught back smething else, t — a greater appreciatin fr all r the blessings f my life. I’ll never frget that bareft little butterfly with the big smile and dirty face. I pray that she’ll never frget me either.

【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C
【难度】0.65
【知识点】哲理感悟、公益活动（组织机构）、记叙文、语意转化、逻辑推理、文章大意、句意猜测
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，作者和其他人一起去西弗吉尼亚做志愿者，为有需要的人修理房屋，一开始作者认为这将会是一个普通的旅程，直到遇到了一个害羞的小姑娘，小姑娘最终给了作者一封让她感动的信，这让作者认识到我们要对生活有更多的感激。
1．细节理解题。由第一段中的“I’d dne it befre, and s I had n reasn t believe that this time wuld be any different. (我以前做过，所以我没有理由相信这次会有什么不同。)”可知，作者以前做过，所以她没有理由相信这次会有所不同，即会有一个常规的结果。故选B项。
2．句意猜测题。由第三段中的“Over the fllwing days, I nticed Dakta peeking at us every nw and then as we wrked. A few times, I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying arund us like a tiny butterfly but keeping t herself. (在接下来的几天里，我注意到Dakta在我们工作时不时偷看我们。有几次，我试着和她说话，但她仍然害羞而疏远，总是像一只小蝴蝶一样在我们身边飞来飞去，但她一直保持沉默。)”可知，小女孩很害羞，会不时偷看作者他们，不怎么说话，说明小女孩害羞，害怕与作者他们交谈。故选A项。
3．推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“She tld me it was suppsed t be me and her, and n the bttm f the paper were three little wrds that instantly brke my heart. Nw almst in tears, I culdn’t cntrl myself anymre — I bent dwn and hugged her. And fr the lngest time, neither f us culd let g. (她告诉我，应该是我和她，纸底有三个小字，瞬间让我心碎。现在我几乎要哭了，我再也控制不住自己了——我弯下腰拥抱她。在很长一段时间里，我们都无法释怀。)”可知，这三个字瞬间将作者的心击碎，流着眼泪作者失去控制，弯下腰，拥抱了小女孩，并在本段最后作者写到在之后很长的时间里，他们都无法释怀，C项“请不要离开”，感情更深，更打动人，也更符合情理，小女孩要的不是仅仅是抱一下（抱一下只是作者的自发行为），而是别离开。故选C项。
4．主旨大意题。由最后一段“I left fr hme early the next mrning. I was returning with muddy bts and hles in my jeans. But because f Dakta, I brught back smething else, t — a greater appreciatin fr all r the blessings f my life. I’ll never frget that bareft little butterfly with the big smile and dirty face. I pray that she’ll never frget me either. (第二天一早我就动身回家了。我穿着泥泞的靴子回来，牛仔裤上有洞。但是因为Dakta，我也带回了一些别的东西——对我生命中的所有或祝福的更大的感激。我永远也忘不了那只光着脚，满脸笑容，脏兮兮的小蝴蝶。我祈祷她也永远不会忘记我。)”可知，通过这次志愿活动，作者对自己生命中的所有或祝福有更大的感激，C项“一个人应该对生命的馈赠更加感激”符合文意，是本文的主旨。故选C项。

【解析】考查猜测代词词义。代词that常用来指代上文提到的事情，因此推断此处that指代第一段的内容，再根据Hence this bk, Chasing the Sea：Lst Amng the Ghsts f Empire in Central Asia可知，这本书出现了，因此可以判断“that”指代第一段提到的t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea, Mr Bissell的本意是写一篇文章，结果却写成了一本书。故选D。
如何猜测代词的意思
代词指代题——“就近原则”猜代词
在文章中，为了避免语意的重复和啰嗦，常用一些代词指代上文所说的人或事。在平时的学习中，熟悉代词的含义十分重要。在文章的具体语境中常出现的代词有it、this、that、he、them、they、ne、thse等。一般来讲，it/this/that指代一件事；it/he/them/they/ne/thse可指代前面内容提到的人或事。
（1） 猜测代词意思的设问方式
①What des “this” refer t in the secnd paragraph?
②What des the underlined “thse” in paragraph 3 refer t?
③What des “That” underlined in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
（2）解题方法：
“3步法”解题
此类题目要求考生根据语境判断代词(this，that，it，they，them，ne等）究竟指代什么。具体方法：
（1）返回原文，找出指代词(it，they，them，this...).
（2）向上（有时向下)搜索，找最近的名词、代词、短语或句子（就近原则）。
（3）将找到的词、词组或句子代人替换该指代词，看其意思、逻辑关系是否通顺，并最终确定最佳答案。
A gadget which makes water ut f air culd becme the greatest husehld inventin since the micrwave.
Using the same technlgy as a dehumidifier (除湿器), the Water Mill is able t create a ready supply f drinking water because it can always get it frm an unlimited surce — the air.
The cmpany behind the machine says nt nly des it ffer an alternative t bttled water in develped cuntries, but it is a slutin fr the millins wh face a daily water shrtage.
The machine wrks by drawing in wet air thrugh a filter (过滤器) and ver a cling instrument which changes it int water drplets. It can prduce up t 12 liters a day. The Water Mill will als prduce mre water when strms pass ver, as the amunt f water which is cntained in the air increases. In keeping with its ec-develpment, the machine uses the same amunt f electricity as three lights.
Inventr Jnathan Ritchey said: “The demand fr water is ff the chart. S peple are lking fr freedm frm water distributin systems that are shaky and unreliable.”
The machine, which is abut 3 feet wide, is likely t cst￡800 when it ges n sale here in the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Fur, rughly calculates that a liter f water csts arund 20p t prduce.
Envirnmentalists state that half the wrld’s ppulatin will face water shrtage because f climate change by 2080. One in five is said t lack access t safe drinking.
The Water Mill is nt effective in areas where the amunt f water cntained in the air is belw abut 30 percent, but in Britain that wn’t be much f a prblem.

【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C
【难度】0.65
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一种把空气转变成饮用水的机器。
1．词句猜测题。根据上文“Using the same technlgy as a dehumidifier (除湿器), the Water Mill is able t create a ready supply f drinking water(使用与除湿器相同的技术, Water Mill能够创造出现成的饮用水)”可推断，“because it can always get it frm an unlimited surce — the air.(因为它总是可以从无限的来源——空气中得到它)”中的it指的是上文提到的drinking water。故选D。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段的“The machine wrks by drawing in wet air thrugh a filter (过滤器) and ver a cling instrument which changes it int water drplets.(这台机器通过过滤器吸收在潮湿的空气，并通过冷却器把它们变成水滴)”可知，这台机器吸收水汽，并把水汽变成水。故选A。
3．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A gadget which makes water ut f air culd becme the greatest husehld inventin since the micrwave.(一种把空气制成水的小工具成为自微波以来最伟大的家庭发明)”和下文的对这个机器的介绍可推断，本文介绍了一种吸收空气变成水的发明，因此推断C项“用空气制水的机器”为最佳标题。故选C。
