1 语境分析猜词义
解题指导 词义猜测常用的五种方法:1.基本构词法:根据前后缀、合成及词性转换去猜测词义;2.同义或定义解释法:上下文中以某种方式对其进行解释,如利用or, that is (to say), in other words, namely等词语进行解释,或利用破折号、同位语(从句)、定语从句等进行解释;3.前后对比法:上下文中往往对生词提供一定的对比背景,且常以反义或对照的方式出现,以此可推测出生词的含义;4.因果推断法:结合上下文的因果关系进行猜测;5.语境理解法:要准确猜测出生词的含义大多需要根据上下文语境去分析和推断。

But he's nervous. “I'm here to tell you today why you should ... should ...” Chris trips on the “-ld”, a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “... Vote for ... me ...”Except for some stumbles,_Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.

25.What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Improper pauses.
B.Bad manners.
C.Spelling mistakes.
D.Silly jokes.
解析 A 根据第二段中的“you should ... should ...”以及“... Vote for ... me ...”这样的语句特点可知,Chris的演讲不流畅,也就是说有不适当的停顿。这是他表现不好的地方,与画线词后的句意“他完成得非常好”构成转折关系,与短语except for的语意相呼应。故选A。
2 就近原则猜指代
解题指导 猜测代替词的指代内容,要求考生判断代词(it, one, they, this, that, these, those, which等)或助动词(do, does, did等)具体替代什么。可按以下三步进行:返回原文,找到指代词→向上(有时向下)搜索,找最近的名词、代词、短语或句子→将找到的词、词组或句子代入替代该指代词,看意思和逻辑关系是否通顺,从而确定最佳选项。
