¢  4篇——30分， 25%

¢  题材多样，包括日常生活，传说，人物，社会，文化，史地，科技，政治，经济等；

¢  体裁多样，应包括记叙文，描写文，说明文，议论文，应用文等。

¢  生词，熟词生义

¢  下题中划线的词可换为：

    New York, 10 November, 5:27 p.m., yesterday. Biggest power failure in the city’s history.

    A. enough    B. not passing     C. lack of   D. lack

¢  分析：本题正确答案为D。failure是fail 变来的名词，有“失败；失败者；失败的事”的意思。本句power failure可翻译为“停电”。再如：crop failure“庄稼欠收”；heart failure“心力衰竭”。

¢  猜词义法一——构词法

¢  Exhibition officials said that a person bitten by one of these snakes would need at least 80 ml of an anti-poison medicine to be saved.

¢  分析：anti-poison是由poison加前缀anti-构成的，anti-意思是“反对、排斥、抵抗 ”，由此可猜出anti-poison是“解毒、抗毒”的意思。

¢  Although simplified Chinese characters were accepted for use many years ago, it seems that more and more people like Chinese characters in the complex form.

¢  分析：simplified跟simple是同根词，带有-ed显然是过去分词形式的形容词。许多年以前我们采用了什么跟“简单”有关的汉字呢？不难想到是“简化的”汉字。

猜词义法二——利用常识经验

¢  Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO₂ from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.

   The underlined phrase “mopping up ” in the second paragraph means _______.

   A. cleaning up   B. taking in    C. wiping out   D. giving up

¢  分析：本题正确答案为B。由常识可知，雨林可以“吸收”空气中CO₂。所以mop up 意为“吸收、吸纳”，故选B。

猜词义法三——利用词性转换

¢  The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways-education, medicine, and business.

   The underlined work “aging” means ______.

   A. counting the number of years someone lives

   B. the numbers of years someone lives

   C. becoming older

   D. making someone looking older

¢  分析：本题正确答案为C。我们熟悉的是age作名词用时是“年龄”的意思，而此处是作动词用，意思是“老化”。
