1、1八、词句猜测词义猜测题(20176月天津，C)This month，Germanys transport minister，Alexander Dobrindt，proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆).They would define the drivers role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with w
2、hat some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles：the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.Dobrindt wants three things：that a car always chooses property(财产) damage over personal injury；that it never distinguishes between humans bas
3、ed on age or race；and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheelto check email，saythe cars maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving， ” says Dobrindt.It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footin
4、g to human drivers，he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers，consumers and lawyers.“The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all， ” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds，UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars，int
5、roduced earlier this year，insists that a human “be watchful and monitoring the road” at every 2moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars.“When you say driverless cars，people expect driverless cars， ”Merat says.“You knowno driver.”Because of the confusion，M
6、erat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without human operation.Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own，says Ryan Calo at Stanford University，California.That is happening in the UK and Singapore，where government-pro
7、vided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US，however.“The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here， ” says Calo.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。它主要介绍了德国交通部部长提出的适用于自主驾驶车辆的规章，能消除人们对于无人驾驶车辆的司机角色定位的困惑，有利于
8、自主驾驶汽车的推广。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.答案 D解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“.the grey area between semi-autonomous
9、and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.”可知，death valley指的就是半自主驾驶和完全无人驾驶汽车之间的灰色地带，即：对司机角色的定义不清楚。故选 D项。47.The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to .A.stop people from breaking traffic rulesB.help promote fully automatic drivingC.protect drivers of all ages and racesD.prev
10、ent serious property damage答案 B解析 推理判断题。第一段说 Dobrindt提出第一套自主驾驶车辆的规章，将会定义自主驾驶车辆司机的角色，这个提议就是处理“death valley”这个问题的；第四段说交规的改变3会准许全自动驾驶，而且会将完全无人驾驶汽车和有人驾驶汽车放到一个平等的法律地位上，由此推断，Dobrindt 提出此建议的目的就是推广全自动驾驶。故选 B项。48.What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?A.It should get the attention of ins
11、urance companies.B.It should be the main concern of law makers.C.It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D.It should involve no human responsibility.答案 D解析 细节理解题。根据第七段中的“When you say driverless cars ，people expect driverless cars， ” Merat says.“You knowno driver.”可知，人们认为的无人驾驶汽车，就是没有司机的汽车，当然也不该包
12、括人的责任问题，故选 D项。49.Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in .A.Singapore B.the UKC.the US D.Germany答案 C解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“That would go down poorly in the US，however.”可知，无人驾驶汽车作为公共交通方式在美国反响却很差，即：在美国，无人驾驶汽车在公共交通领域看不到光明的前景，因此选 C项。50.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Au
13、tonomous Driving：Whose Liability?B.Fully Automatic Cars：A New BreakthroughC.Autonomous Vehicles：Driver Removed!D.Driverless Cars：Root of Road Accidents答案 A解析 标题归纳题。全文围绕自主驾驶车辆的司机的角色认定以及谁该负法律责任的问题展开了讨论，故选 A项。一、题型解读词义猜测题基本上是阅读每年必考的题型。词义猜测是一种阅读技巧和能力，主要考查考生在短时间内根据上下文快速猜测所指定的某一个生词、词组或者句子含义的能力，而这些词和词组往往都超出
14、考纲范围，但在文章阅读中起到一定的作用。由此看来，对于生词的理解是否准确，直接影响着阅读理解题得分的高低，对能否取得好的高考成绩有着举足轻重的作用。4词义猜测题的命题方式有：(1)What does the underlined word “.” probably mean?(2)The word “.” refers to/probably means .(3)The underlined word “.” could best be replaced by .(4)What do you think the expression “.” stands for?(5)By saying “.
15、” we mean .“.” used in the passage can best be defined as .(6)Which of the following words can take the place of the word “.”？二、解题技巧巧用线索猜词义1.根据定义、释义或同位语进行猜测有些文章，特别是科技说明文，作者通常会对一些关键词或专业术语下定义，通过阅读定义和解释部分，考生便可理解该词或短语的意思。有时，需要猜测的单词或短语后面会紧跟一个同位语，作为对前面的词或短语的解释说明。有时，文章会用冒号、破折号、括号等对某个词或短语加以解释说明。例如：Taylors s
16、wift action helped her teammates calm down.One girl called 911.Two more ran to get the school nurse，who brought a defibrillator，an electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work.Luck stayed with them：Pariss heartbeat returned.分析：所猜测单词 defibrillator后面出现了同位语“an electronic device(器械) tha
17、t can shock the heart back into work”(一个可以电击心脏使其重新工作的电子器械)来进行解释说明，我们可推知其词义应为“(心脏)除颤器” 。2.根据构词法进行猜测英语中通过词根加词缀或两个单词合成的方式可以构成新词。因此，掌握了一定的构词知识，再结合上下文语境，也可以快速猜测词义。例如： A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness，uneasiness，or worry.分析：根据构词法知识我们可知，un-为否定前缀，-ness 为名词后缀，easy(舒适)为词根。因此，我们可知 uneasin
18、ess为“不安；担忧”之意。3.根据因果关系进行猜测在阅读理解文章的句子或段落中，若两个事物或两种现象之间构成因果关系，这时我们可以根据这种因果逻辑关系推断词或短语的含义。表示因果关系的标志词有because，so，thus，therefore，as a result of，since，so that，so/such.that.等。例如：My son could not follow the teachers directions，he told me，and 5thus，Scola was disrupting the class.Didnt he know my son did not s
19、peak English yet?试题：What does the underlined word “disrupting” probably mean?A.Breaking. B.Following.C.Attending. D.Disturbing.分析：画线单词所在的句子出现了因果关系标志词 thus，由前面的原因“我儿子听不懂老师的指示”可以推知， “他因此认为我儿子 Scola干扰了课堂” ，故选 D项。其余三项都不符合这一因果逻辑关系。4.根据同义或近义关系进行猜测在画线单词或短语前后有时会出现与之同义或近义的词语或结构，它往往暗示了该词或该短语的含义，这时可从熟悉的词语中推知生词
20、或短语的含义。常见的表示相同或相近意义的词和短语有 and，or，like，as well，similarly，too，also，either 等。例如：The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration(合作) with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid，Spain，and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St.Petersburg，Flo
21、rida.试题：What does the underlined word “contributions” refer to?A.Artworks. B.Projects.C.Donations. D.Documents.分析：画线单词 contributions前出现了 and，可利用同义或近义关系进行猜测。and 前面提到了“The fine selection of the major works”(精选的重要作品)，后面说contributions来自其他机构，由并列关系可以推断出 contributions应该属于 works的范畴，同时文中明确表示 contributions是来自
22、 museum的，故选 A项。5.根据反义、转折和对比关系进行猜测有些需要猜测词义的词或短语前后会出现表示转折或对比的词语，运用这些词语也可以帮助猜测词义。能体现转折、对比关系的词汇很多，常见的有but，yet，however，while，unlike，instead (of)，on the other hand，rather than，on the contrary 等。例如：In the evening，rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace，with golden light streaming across the
23、grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink.Sedate though they are，rides at this time of day are still very impressive.试题：What does the underlined word “sedate” probably mean?A.Wild and romantic.B.Slow and peaceful.6C.Hungry and thirsty.D.Active and excited.分析：画线词语所在句子的句意为“虽然它们 ，但是在一天的这
24、个时候骑马观赏仍然令人印象非常深刻。 ”由 though可知前后两句是转折关系，再结合前一句中提到的“at a more relaxed and unhurried pace”可知，应选 B项，sedate 意为“不慌不忙的” 。6.根据上下文进行猜测有些词义猜测题找不到以上标志线索，这时可以利用上下文提供的情景和线索进行合乎逻辑的综合分析，进而推测词义，这也是近几年来高考考查的热点。例如：There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for
25、 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.试题：What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” probably mean?A.A practical idea. B.A vain hope.C.A brilliant plan. D.A selfish desire.分析
26、：根据连接词 so可知上下文之间存在着因果关系，故我们需要从上文中寻找答案。由上文中的“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.”可知，尽管 Orleans Reinette是很好的品种，但是对各项条件的要求很高，因此大多数喜欢它的人种植它的希望会落空。故选 B项。A(2018天津部分区县二模)I grew up on a 50-acre farm in the
27、small rural community of Catawissa，Missouri，as the sixth of seven children.My parents often noted during meals how everything on the table except the sugar and flour came from the land.Besides running the farm，Dad was also a carpenter.In the fall of 1970，he was working on a house when the ladder bro
