11、y B. great excitement,,C. whole idea D. complete view,,,,Clue:,當(dāng)“panorama”作為單獨(dú)一個(gè)詞出現(xiàn)時(shí)，你可能猜不出它的意思, 不過當(dāng)你讀到后面的詞“sea, bay, city”和“countryside”時(shí)，通過推理就會(huì)猜出它的意思與“視野”有關(guān)。因此從所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，可以確定D 為正確選項(xiàng)。,,Reading Skill Focus,Sample 2,,Elvis Presley was afraid of being,assassinated,, and he wore a bu

12、llet-proof vest, but he couldn’t stay away from the crowds who loved him.,,A. laughed at B. killed,,C. taken away D. beaten,,,Clue:,從后面的句子可以分析出Elvis Presley 所擔(dān)心的是“be killed”，否則的話，他不會(huì)穿上防彈背心(bullet-proof vest)。因此B 為正確選項(xiàng)。,,Reading Skill Focus,Sample 3,,Some students tried to hel

13、p, but some tried to hinder him.,,,Clue:,“but”這個(gè)線索詞表明“hinder”與“help”的詞義形成對比，由此可以猜出“hinder”這個(gè)詞含有“阻止，阻撓”的意思。,,Reading Skill Focus,B．Let’s Try,,Try to figure out the meaning of the underlined words in the following sentences and explain the clues.,,,1.

14、conversation,,,Peter turned around,abruptly,and walked out of the room!,,A. formally B. slowly,,C. suddenly D. quietly,,首先，第一句話表明說話人對于后面發(fā)生的事情感到非常驚訝。從第二句話中，我們明白了“當(dāng)我們正在談話時(shí)，彼得很唐突地（abruptly）轉(zhuǎn)身離開了房間”，這就是說話人為什么感到吃驚的原因。選項(xiàng)中最接近這個(gè)意思的應(yīng)該是C項(xiàng)。,,Clue:,C,( ),,,After the harvest

15、, we had an,abundant,amount of apples. We made apple pie, applesauce, and apple juice because we had so many apples!,,,A. small B. not enough,,C. limited D. plentiful,,,D,( ),通過后面句子中的解釋“because we had so many apples”，推測出“蘋果大豐收”，因此可以猜出“abundant”的意思是“豐富的，大

17、加上后面句子的描述（We couldn’t hear what she was trying to say），很顯然，Sara說話的聲音很輕，B項(xiàng)為正確答案。,Clue:,,Reading Skill Focus,4. There is an,optimum,way to approach each kind of exam question.

18、first.,,,A. inconvenient B. best,,C. annoying D. easy,B,( ),后兩句對考試答題的方法進(jìn)行了講解，根據(jù)常識(shí)可以判斷，這兩種方法應(yīng)該是比較好的。因此，可以排除A，C，D三個(gè)選項(xiàng)。optimum的意思是“最優(yōu)的，最佳的”。,Clue:,,Reading Skill Focus,,The doctor said that there was only a,slim,hope of,,survival for the people in the air c

19、rash.,,,A. numerous B. considerable,,C. moderate D. very little,,D,( ),根據(jù)常識(shí)，在空難（air crash）中生還的可能性一般很小，所以，“醫(yī)生”表達(dá)的意思應(yīng)該是“乘客幸存的希望渺茫（only a slim hope of survival）”,Clue:,,Reading Skill Focus,,Black clouds, thunder and lightning show that a storm is,imminent.,,,A.

20、transient B. about to happen,,C. coming to an end D. to last long,B,( ),根據(jù)常識(shí)，在空難（air crash）中生還的可能性一般很小，所以，“醫(yī)生”表達(dá)的意思應(yīng)該是“乘客幸存的希望渺茫（only a slim hope of survival）”,Clue:,,Reading Skill Focus,,They,suspended,the construction of the bridge during the strike.,,,A. oppos

21、ed B. supported,,C. continued D. delayed,,,D,( ),在該句中，非常重要的線索就是“strike”這個(gè)詞。“在工人罷工期間，他們只能推遲（suspend）橋梁的建造?！彼?，正確答案是選項(xiàng)D。,Clue:,,Reading Skill Focus,,In the past the world seemed to run in an orderly way.,,Now however, everything seems to be in a state of,t

22、urmoil.,,,A. lack of order B. harmony,,C. peace D. simplicity,A,( ),此句中，以信號(hào)詞however為線索，可以看出作者把現(xiàn)在的事情與過去相比。過去是in an orderly way“秩序井然”，而現(xiàn)在是“in a state of turmoil”，即沒有秩序，因此正確答案是選項(xiàng)A。,Clue:,,Reading Skill Focus,,During office hour he looked very,tense,and anxi

23、ous,,,but he was very relaxed on weekend.,,,A. unhappy B. nervous,,C. exhausted D. sick,B,( ),“but” 這個(gè)線索詞表明“tense”與“relaxed”的詞義形成對比，由此可以猜出“tense”這個(gè)詞含有“緊張”的意思。,Clue:,,Reading Skill Focus,,Unlike the well-mannered John, Jim was rather,uncouth.,,,A. rude

24、 B. polite,,C. untidy D. informal,A,( ),“unlike”這個(gè)線索詞表明在原句中John和Jim在行為舉止方面是截然相反的，John彬彬有禮（well-mannered），由此可以推測出uncouth的意思是“粗魯?shù)摹薄?Clue:,,Comprehensive Reading,Text A Is Your English Too English?,English may be the language of business but as,A
