The underlined word ‘one’ refers to ______.
A. a society B. America C. a place D. population
從結(jié)構(gòu)上看，one與society是同位關(guān)系，因此，A選項(xiàng)符合題意，是正確答案。
8.根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)行判斷。如：
In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem (定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Poly-technique.
Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “baffle” as it is used in the text?
A. To encourage people to raise questions.
B. To cause difficulty in understanding.
C. To provide a person with an explanation.
D. To limit people’s imagination.
在“the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds”這個(gè)句子中，并列連詞and起著很重要的提示作用，因?yàn)樗馕吨凰B接起來的兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞在意義上有一致性。“had beaten the finest mathematical minds”可以理解為“擊敗了一些頂級的數(shù)學(xué)家”，而這個(gè)定理之所以可以“擊敗一些頂級的數(shù)學(xué)家”不外乎是因?yàn)樗y了，因此我們可以順理成章地把baffle與difficult聯(lián)系在一起。我們可以試圖這樣理解這句話“這個(gè)定理難住并擊敗了一些頂級的數(shù)學(xué)家”。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中B選項(xiàng)最接近這個(gè)意思，所以，它是一個(gè)正確的可能性最大的選項(xiàng)。又如：
A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
What does the underlined word “hassle” (paragraph 1) probably mean?
A. a party designed by specialists
B. a plan requiring careful thought
C. a situation causing difficulty or trouble
D. a demand made by guests
根據(jù)“A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun”，這兩個(gè)分句之間的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系我們可以推斷出“hassle”與“fun”應(yīng)該是一對反義詞。A、B、D 三個(gè)選項(xiàng)與這個(gè)判斷都不吻合，只有C選項(xiàng)與這個(gè)判斷比較一致，因此，C選項(xiàng)是唯一可能正確的答案。
以上所敘只是推測、判斷詞義的一些基本規(guī)律。要提高這方面的閱讀能力，最主要的還是靠自己進(jìn)行大量的閱讀，在閱讀實(shí)踐中不斷總結(jié)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，找出其中的規(guī)律，并且融會(huì)貫通地運(yùn)用它們指導(dǎo)自己的閱讀。
