词句猜测题是高考阅读理解中的“智能导航系统”,它直接检验考生在未知词汇面前的变通与解码能力。它并非考查考生的词汇量有多大,而是考查考生利用上下文线索推断生词含义的逻辑智慧。攻克这类题,意味着考生拥有了一把能打开任何文本的“万能钥匙”。
考什么——透视猜测题的“命题密码”1.常见设问方式
(1)直接提问词句型:以mean、refer t等方式直接提问。如:What des the underlined wrd “ubiquitus” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?What des the phrase “a duble-edged swrd” refer t in the last paragraph?
(2)近义替换型:要求选出与画线词或短语意思最相近的选项。如:Which f the fllwing is clsest in meaning t “scrutinize”?(3)指代关系型:提问 it、they、that、such等代词具体指代的内容。如:What des “it” in the last sentence refer t?
怎么考——铸造猜测题“四大破题利器”面对不同类型的生词、短语或句子,告别“一概靠蒙”的无奈,掌握以下三大核心考向,实现从“被动猜测”到“主动出击”的蜕变。考向一　词义猜测题——上下取证知其意为做好词义猜测题,考生应当熟练掌握《普通高中英语课程标准》规定的词汇,在训练中还要注重积累生僻词汇和短语,掌握构词法的基本知识;同时,还应学会根据上下文语境合理推测词义。下面介绍4种行之有效的猜词技法,希望对考生有所帮助。
技法一　利用“解释关系”猜测词义类型1　定义作者有时会通过给某些词汇下定义来帮助读者理解词义,尤其是在一些科普类、社科类以及与专业内容相关的文章中。此时,常使用的信号词汇有i.e.、 is、 are、 is/are called、 mean、 refer t、 knwn as等。
[典例]　(2021·全国甲卷阅读C)I sn made friends with the lcal skaters.We spke ur wn language.And my favrite:Safe.Safe meant cl.It meant hell.It meant dn’t wrry abut it.Once,when trying a certain trick n the beam (横杆),I fell nt the stnes,damaging a nerve in my hand,and Tby came ver,helping me up:Safe,man.Safe.A few minutes later, when I landed the trick,my friends beat their bards lud,shuting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks,being a gd skater. 
29.What d the underlined wrds “Safe! Safe! Safe!” prbably mean?
A.Be careful!B.Well dne!C.N way!D.Dn’t wrry!自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:定位定义句根据信号词 meant,定位定义句:Safe meant cl.It meant hell.It meant dn’t wrry abut it.Step 2:结合语境验证将定义中提供的多个词义(cl,hell,dn’t wrry)代入画线词所在的语境。Step 3:筛选匹配在作者成功完成了一次滑板动作后,同伴们都大喊“Safe! Safe! Safe!”来表示祝贺或鼓励作者。
类型2　例证有时,画线词后会跟一些具体的例子,这些例子能帮助考生理解该词的词义。此时常出现的信号词汇有such as、 fr example、 fr instance、 like、 including、 especially等。
[典例]　(北京卷阅读D)Certain frms f AI are indeed becming ubiquitus.Fr example,algrithms (算法) carry ut huge vlumes f trading n ur financial markets,self-driving cars are appearing n city streets,and ur smartphnes are translating frm ne language int anther. These systems are smetimes faster and mre perceptive than we humans are.
42.What des the underlined wrd “ubiquitus” in Paragraph 1 prbably mean?
A.Enrmus in in everywhere.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:定位例证句信号词 Fr example 引出了三个例子:①金融市场的算法交易;②城市街道的自动驾驶汽车;③智能手机的语言翻译。Step 2:结合语境验证例子说明了一个事实:人工智能不再是遥远的概念。Step 3:筛选匹配通过例子可以推断出,ubiquitus 描述的是一种“随处可见、无处不在”的状态,与D项的词义完全一致。
类型3　重述作者为了使某一难懂的词或术语的含义更清楚,通常会使用常用的词或词组对其进行解释,这就是重述。重述部分通过逗号(有时也使用破折号、冒号、分号或括号)与句子的其他部分隔开或用信号词r、 namely、 that is、 in ther wrds、 that is t say、 t be mre exact、 t put it anther way等引导。有时候也会直接在后面进行重述。
[典例]　(2025·全国一卷阅读B)As a new unit started,I asked everyne t write a persuasive piece n a health-related tpic f their chice.This time they fund the exercise much mre interesting.Fr the next tw assignments,a persnal-narrative unit fllwed by a creative-writing wrkshp,I nly required that the piece meet the specificatins f its genre (体裁) and that it cntain a thesis.The results were staggering.The students tk n diverse tpics and turned in stries,10 t 20 pages each,with characters that bradened my view and tuched my heart.
26.What des the underlined wrd “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Mixed.D.Disturbing.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:定位重述句重述句:The students tk n diverse my heart.Step 2:推测词义将重述的内容与之前的表现进行对比。这种从“写不出来”到“长篇佳作”的巨大转变,其结果必然是“令人印象深刻、出乎意料的”。Step 3:筛选匹配重述部分描述了一个巨大的、积极的、出乎意料的变化。与B项的词义完全一致。
类型4　同义词或近义词有时,在画线单词或短语的上下文会出现与之同义或近义的词汇,它往往暗示了该词或短语的含义。同义词、近义词常见的信号词汇有and、 r、 like、 as well、 similarly、 t、 als、 either等。
[典例]　(2023·浙江1月卷阅读C)Brilliant thugh it is,Prject Debater has sme weaknesses.It takes sentences frm its library f dcuments and prebuilt arguments and strings them tgether.This can lead t the kinds f errrs n human wuld make.Such wrinkles will n dubt be irned ut,yet they als pint t a fundamental prblem.As Kristian Hammnd, prfessr f electrical engineering and cmputer science at Nrthwestern University,put it:“There’s never a stage at which the system knws what it’s talking abut.”
29.What des the underlined wrd “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A.Arguments.D.Differences.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:定位同义/指代关系线索句“Such wrinkles...”的指代词Such表明wrinkles指代的是前一句刚刚提到的事物。Step 2:建立替换关系通过指代关系,我们可以建立一个同义替换:Such wrinkles=The kinds f errrs n human wuld make。Step 3:筛选匹配C选项与线索句前句中的errrs直接对应。
类型5　反义词有时作者会用表示对比或转折的信号词连接意思相反的两个词或句子,这时就可以根据反义词线索猜测词义。常见的表示对比或反义的信号词汇有(whether...) r、 unlike、 but、 yet、 hwever、 while、 althugh、 nevertheless、 instead、 rather than、 in cntrast、 n the cntrary、 n the ther hand等。
[典例]　(新高考Ⅰ卷阅读D)Accrding t a recent study in the Jurnal f Cnsumer Research, bth the size and cnsumptin habits f ur eating cmpanins can influence ur fd intake.And cntrary t existing research that says yu shuld avid eating with heavier peple wh rder large prtins (份),it’s the beanples with big appetites yu really need t avid.
33.What des the underlined wrd “beanples” in paragraph 1 refer t?
A.Big eaters.B.Overweight eaters.D.Tall thin persns.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:定位线索句。线索句中cntrary t 是关键信号词,它建立了一个明确的对比关系。Step 2:推测词义。根据cntrary t建立的反义关系,beanples描述的应该是与“较重的人”相反的体型。Step 3:筛选匹配。beanples 在此处的含义是“瘦人”。

本题可以利用“　　　　　”解题。　　　 Step 1:定位　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 定义句:This state f cmplete absrptin in an activity is knwn as “flw”.语境点:It’s a challenge.和后面的例证。Step 2:结合语境验证将“完全沉浸”(cmplete absrptin)的定义代入到画家“忘我工作”(lst in her wrk)的具体情境中进行检验。
Step 3:筛选匹配画家忘我工作、高度专注的状态,正是“flw”的体现,意为“深度专注和沉浸的状态”。与选项　　　　的意思完全一致。 
2.(2026·武汉高三质检)Many wealthy individuals becme great philanthrpists, dedicating their frtunes t the public gd.Histry is filled with such figures,including Andrew Carnegie,wh funded thusands f public libraries,and mre recently,Bill Gates,whse fundatin wrks t imprve glbal health and reduce pverty.Their actins demnstrate a pwerful cmmitment t using private wealth fr scial prgress.

本题可以利用“　　　　　　　”解题。Step 1:定位　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 观点句:Many wealthy individuals becme great philanthrpists...例证点:including Andrew Carnegie...(资助图书馆)和Bill Gates...(改善全球健康和减少贫困)。Step 2:结合语境验证将卡内基和盖茨的例子结合分析,他们的共同行为是利用个人财富来促进公共事业、帮助社会。
Step 3:筛选匹配这些例子共同说明 philanthrpists 是“捐钱帮助社会的人”。与选项　　　　的意思完全一致。 
3.(2023·新课标Ⅰ卷阅读C)Part ne cncludes by intrducing my suggested methd fr adpting this philsphy:the digital declutter.This prcess requires yu t step away frm ptinal nline activities fr thirty days.At the end f the thirty days,yu will then add back a small number f carefully chsen nline activities that yu believe will prvide massive benefits t the things yu value.What des the underlined wrd “declutter” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Clear-up.B.Add-D.Take-ver.
本题可以利用“　　　　　”解题。Step 1:定位　　　　　　　　　　　 观点句 suggested methd fr adpting this philsphy:the digital declutter.重述点:冒号(:)和紧随其后的句子“This prcess requires yu t step away frm ptinal nline activities fr thirty days.”重述了digital declutter 的具体做法。
Step 2:推测词义重述句的核心动作是　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　, 即“远离那些非必要的在线活动”。这个动作的本质是暂时地“清除”或“清理”生活中的数字干扰,以达到某种目的。 Step 3:筛选匹配“远离”和“清除”数字活动,意味着对数字生活进行一次整理和清理。选项　　　　与step away frm (远离、清除) 的核心含义完全吻合。
step away frm ptinal nline activities
4.(2026·郑州外国语学校模拟)On the mrning f the big exam,Sarah felt a grwing sense f unease.She was bth anxius and quite apprehensive,cnstantly checking the clck and rereading her ntes.This feeling f nervus wrry wasn’t new t her,but it seemed strnger tday.What des the underlined wrd “apprehensive” mst likely mean?A.Excited.D.Unprepared.
本题可以利用“　　　　　　”解题。 Step 1:定位　　　　　 线索句:She was bth anxius and quite apprehensive...线索词:句中的并列连词and以及结构 是关键信号。Step 2:建立替换关系根据 bth anxius and apprehensive 的并列关系,可以推断 apprehensive 的意思与 anxius 基本相同。上下文也印证了这一点:a grwing sense f unease (日益增长的不安感),cnstantly checking the clck (不停地看表),这些都是紧张、担忧的表现。
Step 3:筛选匹配apprehensive 在此处的含义是“焦虑的、担忧的”。选项　　　　是对anxius最直接的同义转述,与推断的词义完全一致。 
5.(2026·秦皇岛高三质检)While my brther is always seeking adventure and excitement,I find cmfrt in a mre predictable life.He lves thrilling activities like skydiving,but I prefer the mundane pleasures f reading a bk r tending t my garden.What des the underlined wrd “mundane” mst likely mean?A.Exciting.D.Secret.
本题可以利用“　　　　”法解题。 Step 1:定位线索句线索句 I prefer the mundane pleasures f reading a bk r tending t my garden.线索词:句中的转折连词　　　　是关键信号词,它表明前后描述的情况是相反的。 
Step 2:推测词义对比对象:but 前面描述的是兄弟喜欢thrilling activities (刺激的活动),如 skydiving (跳伞)。因此,mundane 描述的乐趣应该与 thrilling (刺激的) 相反。Step 3:筛选匹配选项　　　　与thrilling (刺激的)形成鲜明对比,精确地描述了读书、园艺这类活动的性质,与推断的词义完全一致。 
技法二　利用“逻辑关系”猜测词义有时作者并未在文中对某个单词或短语进行明显的解释说明,此时可根据上下文的逻辑关系进行推理。类型1　转折关系在猜测词义时,两个分句之间的逻辑关系往往给我们一些重要暗示,比如转折关系。
[典例]　(2024·全国甲卷阅读B)Dgs are knwn fr their impressive fetching habit,but cats take this behavir up a ntch.Many cats will find randm bjects utside and bring them t their wners.This is a very ld habit that’s been present in all kinds f predatrs (食肉动物).Cats bring gifts fr their wners t shw they lve yu.These adrable little hunters are just ding smething that it’s been in their nature since the beginning f time.S just g alng with it! 
26.Which best explains the phrase“ a ntch” in paragraph 3?
A.Perfrm better.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:定位转折关系目标句 cats take this behavir up a ntch.中的转折连词 but 是关键信号。它表明猫的行为与狗的行为相比,存在一种转折或递进关系。Step 2:对比推导根据 but 建立的关系,既然狗已经很“令人印象深刻”了,那么猫的行为就是在此基础上的“更上一层楼”。
Step 3:筛选匹配“D better”精确地概括了“更上一层楼”的递进含义,与推断的词义完全一致。
类型2　对比关系有时,文中会对两个事物或现象进行对比性的描述,这时考生可以根据句中的对比关系来猜测词义。
[典例]　(2024·新课标Ⅱ卷阅读D)In the wrng hands,such a bk culd prve as cmplicated t prcess as the cmputer cde (代码) that pwers AI but,thankfully, Campbell has mre than tw decades’ prfessinal experience translating the heady int the understandable.She writes frm the practical angle f a business persn rather than as an academic, making fr a guide which is highly accessible and infrmative and which,by the clse,will make yu feel almst as smart as AI. 
32.What des the phrase “In the wrng hands” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A.If read by smene prly reviewed by smene ill- written by smene less translated by smene unacademic.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:定位对比关系对比对象:In the wrng hands导致的结果是cmplicated。与之对比的Campbell,拥有prfessinal experience,能将复杂内容变得understandable。Step 2:分析对比双方Campbell 是一个能力出众的作者,那么,the wrng hands指的就是缺乏这种能力的作者。Step 3:筛选匹配选项C精确地概括了与Campbell形成对比的情况。
类型3　类比关系作为一种推理方法,类比关系是指类比各对象之间存在的一种相似性(共同特征),它通过比较不同对象间的某些相似属性,从而推出另一属性也可能相似。常见的表示类比关系的信号词汇有similarly、 like、 als、 just as、 as well等。
[典例]　(2023·全国乙卷阅读D) Caribbean Tain,the Australian Abriginals,the African peple f Benin and the Incas,all f whm appear in this bk,can speak t us nw f their past achievements mst pwerfully thrugh the bjects they made:a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice.When we cnsider cntact (联系) between literate and nn-literate scieties such as these,all ur first-hand accunts are necessarily twisted,nly ne half f a dialgue.If we are t find the ther half f that cnversatin,we have t read nt just the texts,but the bjects.
34.What des the underlined wrd “cnversatin” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A.Prblem.D.Sciety.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:定位类比关系“nly ne half f a ther half f that cnversatin”与前文“a histry tld thrugh things gives them back a vice”形成类比。Step 2:分析类比双方分析类比双方可知,作者将历史类比成一场对话,对话的一半是文字,另一半是事实,因此cnversatin指代的是历史。两者合在一起比喻“完整的历史”。Step 3:筛选匹配“Histry”与类比得出的结论完全对应。
1.(2026·石家庄高三质检)The instructins fr assembling the bkshelf lked simple,and I thught I culd finish it in an hur.The task,hwever,prved t be quite arduus.It tk me the entire afternn,requiring a lt f effrt and cncentratin t fit all the pieces tgether crrectly.What des the underlined wrd “arduus” prbably mean?A.Enjyable.D.Pintless.
本题可以利用“　　　　　　”解题。 Step 1:定位转折关系线索词:句中的转折词　　　　　　是关键信号。它表明任务的实际情况与之前的预期相反。 Step 2:对比推导根据 hwever 建立的转折关系,arduus 的意思应该与　　　　　相反。下文的解释也印证了这一点:It tk me the entire afternn,requiring a lt f effrt and cncentratin。这些都说明任务并不简单,而是非常费力。 
Step 3:筛选匹配选项　　　　与simple形成鲜明对比,并被“花费整个下午”和“需要大量努力”所证实,与推断的词义完全一致。 
2.(2026·长沙一中高三模拟)The tw brthers,Tm and Mark,culd nt be mre different in their scial habits,despite grwing up in the same husehld.Tm has always been a quiet and reserved individual.He finds cmfrt in slitude,preferring a peaceful evening with a bk t a nisy scial gathering.His circle f friends is small but very clse.Mark,n the ther hand,is incredibly gregarius.He thrives in the presence f thers and is ften the life f the party,telling jkes and engaging everyne in cnversatin.Fr him,a weekend withut a large scial event feels empty;he draws his energy frm being surrunded by peple.
The wrd “gregarius” in the passage is clsest in meaning t 　　　　. A.humrusD.ppular本题可以利用“　　　　　　”解题。 Step 1:定位对比关系对比对象:前文对 Tm 的描述是 quiet and reserved (安静且内向), finds cmfrt in slitude (在独处中感到舒适),preferring a peaceful evening (更喜欢宁静的夜晚)。
Step 2:分析对比双方根据 n the ther hand 建立的对比关系,gregarius 的意思应该与“安静、内向、喜欢独处”相反,即“外向、喜欢交际”。下文对 Mark 的具体描述也印证了这一点:thrives in the presence f thers、the life f the party。这些都指向了“合群、善于社交”的特质。Step 3:筛选匹配选项　　　　完美地概括了与 Tm 的内向形成对比的性格特质,与推断的词义完全一致。 
3.(2026·烟台高三模拟)“In literature,just as a cnductr meticulusly balances each sectin f the rchestra—ensuring the vilins sar abve the wdwinds while the brass punctuates the meldy with pwer—a skilled film directr rchestrates every element f prductin:frm actrs’ perfrmances t lighting,sund,and camera mvement.The directr’s visin unifies these disparate cmpnents int a chesive whle,guiding the audience’s emtinal jurney thrugh the narrative.”
What des the underlined wrd “rchestrates” mst likely mean?A.Cmpses the different befre the the ftage.本题可以利用通过“　　　　　　”解题。 Step 1:定位类比关系· 信号词“while”表明前后两者在功能上对应:cnductr↔directr。
Step 2:分析类比双方· Cnductr→平衡各乐器组、设定节奏;· Directr→协调演员、灯光、音效、摄影等;都在“调配、协调各部分”以达成整体效果。Step 3:筛选匹配选项　　　　直接对应“balances”与“unifies”的核心含义。 
技法三　利用“构词法”猜测词义很多情况下,考生在阅读理解中遇到的生词是派生词或合成词。根据这些词的前缀、后缀、词根或所构成合成词的意思,熟练运用构词法来判断生词的含义是一种十分快速且有效的阅读技巧。
[典例]　(新高考Ⅱ卷阅读B)I decided t think up a methd f dealing with frbidden imaginary Grandma’s Bx wrked like magic that spring, and later.Smetimes students wuld ask me t describe all the things I had in it.Then I wuld try t remember the different pssessins I suppsedly had taken away—since I seldm actually kept them. Usually the ffender wuld appear at the end f the day,and I wuld return the belnging. 
25.What d the underlined wrds “the ffender” in paragraph 8 refer t?
A.The student’s maker f the Grandma’s authr’s wner f the frbidden fruit.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:分析构词成分ffend:动词,意为“冒犯;违反”。-er:常见后缀,加在动词后表示“做……的人”。the ffender:字面意思为“冒犯者;违反者”。Step 2:结合语境验证老师没收了学生的违禁品,然后“the ffender”会在放学后出现,老师把东西还给他/她。可以推断“the ffender”就是指“携带违禁品的学生”。
Step 3:筛选匹配“The wner f the frbidden fruit.”与“违反规定、携带违禁品”的行为直接相关,与推断的词义完全一致。
　　(2026·湖南长郡中学高三模拟)The rapid advancement f technlgy has led t a grwing cncern abut jb displacement,as autmatin and artificial intelligence becme increasingly capable f perfrming tasks that were previusly dne by human wrkers.This phenmenn raises imprtant questins abut the future f wrk and the need fr individuals t adapt t changing skill requirements. 
33.What des the phrase “jb displacement” mst likely mean?
A.The creatin f new jb mvement f wrkers t different lss f jbs due t technlgical imprvement f wrking cnditins.
本题可以结合　　　　解题。 Step 1:分析构词成分placement:名词,意为“安置;放置”。dis-:前缀,表示“否定;分离”。jb displacement:字面意思为“工作岗位的丧失/分离”。
Step 2:结合语境验证语境:技术的快速发展导致了人们对“jb displacement”的担忧,因为自动化和人工智能越来越能够执行以前由人工完成的任务。推断:“jb displacement”就是指“　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ”。Step 3:筛选匹配选项　　　　精确地概括了“工作岗位丧失”的含义,与推断的词义完全一致。 
由于技术进步导致的工作岗位丧失
考向二　代词指代题——就近原则法代词(如it、he、they、that、thse等)在句中通常指代上文提到的人、物或事件。根据“就近原则”,代词指代的对象通常是离它最近的名词、短语或整个句子所表达的意思。解题时,只需找到该代词,然后向上文(通常是本句或上一句)查找,并将其指代的内容代入原句验证,看句意是否通顺、逻辑是否合理。
[典例]　(2025·全国二卷阅读B)There are up t 30 students at any given time in H’s class.She generally wrks with their regular teachers t get lessns and tests being used at their hme schls.Sme teachers dn’t give the kids any assignments;they express sympathy instead.“I feel like it is a disservice t the kids,” H says.“They think their teachers dn’t care abut their schlwrk.”
26.What des the underlined wrd “it” refer t in paragraph 4?
A.Offering regular extra n n sympathy.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:定位代词。it前面的句子描述了“一些老师”的两种行为:①不布置作业;②表达同情。it 指代的应该是这两种行为之一,或者整个情况。Step 2:结合语境,确定指代内容。将 it 所在句子与前文联系起来推断,it 在此指“dn’t give the kids any assignments”这件事。Step 3:筛选匹配,锁定答案。“Assigning n schlwrk.(不布置学校作业)”与推断的含义“dn’t give the kids any assignments”完全一致。
　　(2024·浙江1月卷阅读B)When was the last time yu used a telephne bx? I mean t make an actual phne call—nt t shelter frm the rain.Ages ag, right? The last time I used a phne bx fr its intended purpse I was cnducting auditins(试演) fr my play in my tiny ld shared huse in Lndn.Hping t impress sme talented actrs t cme and wrk fr me fr nthing, I spread sme thrws ver the sfas and lit candles t make it seem a bit mre “yung prfessinal”.
As I rushed utdrs t empty the wastepaper baskets, the dr swung shut behind me.Suddenly I was lcked utside.My mbile phne was inside, but luckily there was a telephne bx acrss the street.S, I called Directry Assistance, gt put thrugh t ur landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent t me with just enugh time t get back in befre the actrs arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used ne, I shuld hardly be surprised that there are n lnger any public telephnes near my huse.The last ne standing has just been turned int a “mini cmmunity library”: any passer-by can “brrw”a bk frm its shelves, andreturn it later, r replace it with anther title frm their wn cllectin.
Fr a few mnths after the “library” pened, I didn’t bther taking a lk, as I had assumed that it wuld be stuffed full f cheesy lve stries.Then I nticed flk cnducting spring cleans drpping bxes f vluminus bks n varius subjects there.And these bks were free.This unbeatable price pint encuraged me t experiment with dzens f titles that I wuld never nrmally cnsider buying.And I’ve discvered sme great bks!...
What des the wrd “it” underlined in the first paragraph refer t?A.The play.　　　B.The shared sfa.　　　D.The telephne bx.本题可以利用“　　　　　　”解题。 Step 1:定位代词。定位到画线词it。it 所在句为 make it seem a bit mre “yung prfessinal” (……让它看起来更“年轻专业”一点)。根据“就近原则”,向前文查找 it 指代的对象。前文提到作者正在自己的 tiny ld shared huse (小旧合租屋) 里为试演做准备。
Step 2:结合语境,确定指代内容。作者为了给演员留下好印象,采取了两个行动:spread sme thrws ver the sfas (在沙发上铺上毯子)和lit candles (点燃蜡烛)。这些行为都是为了装饰一个空间。将___________________代入 it 的位置,句意变为“为了让这个合租屋看起来更‘年轻专业’一点”,逻辑完全通顺。 Step 3:筛选匹配,锁定答案。选项B与推断一致,作者装饰的是房子这个场所。
the shared huse
考向三　句意理解题——意义吻合法对于理解特定句子含义的题目,考生不能仅凭字面意思猜测,而应将该句子放回原文,利用上下文提供的线索(如解释、举例、对比等)来推断其在具体语境中的确切含义。这种方法的核心是确保考生的理解与上下文的整体意义保持一致和吻合。
[典例]　(浙江卷阅读B)Mney with n strings attached.It’s nt smething yu see every day.But at Unin Statin in Ls Angeles last mnth,a bard went up with dllar bills attached t it with pins and a sign that read,“Give What Yu Can,Take What Yu Need.” Peple quickly caught n.And while many tk dllars,many thers pinned their wn cash t the bard.“Peple f all ages,races, and sci-ecnmic (社会经济的) backgrunds gave and tk,” said Tyler Bridges f The Tlbx,which created the prject...
24.What des the expressin “Mney with n strings attached” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Mney spent withut nt legally ffered withut nt tied tgether.自主解答　　　　 
[导引]Step 1:分析句子含义strings 意为“绳子”,attached 意为“附着的”。n strings attached 字面意思是“没有绳子系着”。Step 2:寻找语境线索文章紧接着对这个概念进行了解释:人们可以自由地给予或拿取金钱,唯一的依据是自己的能力和需求,没有任何其他的限制、审查或偿还义务。这恰恰印证了“无附加条件”这一含义。
Step 3:筛选匹配“Mney ffered withut cnditins.(无条件提供的钱)”与上下文的解释完全吻合。
　　(2026·南通高三调研)Fr weeks,I had stared at the blank page,my mind a barren desert.Every attempt t write felt frced,every sentence a dead end.I tried changing my rutine,reading ld classics fr inspiratin, anything t get the wrds flwing,but nthing wrked.Then ne afternn,I went fr a walk in the park and saw a child trying t fly a kite.He failed again and again,but his jyful determinatin struck me.I rushed hme,sat dwn at my desk,and began t write.Ideas, characters,and plts flded my mind.The dam had brken. 
What des the sentence “The dam had brken” mean in the last paragraph?A.The writer’s huse was writer finally vercame the creative writer decided t write abut a writer felt as determined as the child.本题可以利用“　　　　　　”解题。 
Step 1:分析句子含义dam 意为“大坝,堤坝”。The dam had brken 的字面意思是“大坝决堤了”。Step 2:寻找语境线索紧接在这句话之前,作者描述道:Ideas,characters,and plts flded my mind.(想法、人物和情节如洪水般涌入我的脑海)。这里的 flded (淹没,涌入) 与 dam (大坝) 形成了完美的呼应,清晰地解释了“决堤”后涌出的正是创作灵感。
