易错点1 熟词生义掌握不全面

B. taken
C. washed
D. loaded
【错因分析】develop熟义是“发展”。
【试题解析】film在此意为“胶片”,故选A,develop意为“冲印”。
【参考答案】A
所谓“熟词生义”就是指有些词尽管我们认识,但出现在完形填空或者阅读理解中如果运用常见的含义来理解的话,会导致理解错误、文不对题、不知所云,这时我们就要换个角度运用这个词的特殊含义来理解。平时要注意这些“熟词生义”的练习、巩固、背诵。

易错点2 忽视语境关系
A Heroic Driver
Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc. One morning in 2009, Larry was _____ along 165 north after delivering to one of his customers.
A. walking
B. touring
C. traveling
D. rushing
【错因分析】 考生容易忽视语境关系盲目选择自认为正确的某个选项。
【试题解析】 根据Larry的工作性质和下文的deliver可知他送完货后应该是开着车沿着公路行驶。故用travel表示“(以某速度、朝某方向或在某距离内)行进”,而walk“步行”,rush“快速运输,速送”,tour“观光旅行”,在此均不符合语境。
【参考答案】 C
