我们在阅读文章时,常常会遇到一些过去未见过
的单词和短语,但许多这类词语的含义可以通过上下
文推断出来。这种不使用词典而通过阅读上下文来推
断词语含义的能力,是一个合格的读者必须具备的能
力,因此也是阅读理解部分经常考查的一种能力。

每年每套题通常有一个小题,有时会有两个小
题,要求考生根据上下文推断单词、短语或句子
的含义。
题千常含mean,replace,best explain或refer to等词:
What does the underlined word/words/phrase ..in
Paragraph ..refer to/mean

解答这类题时,需要考生在理解全文的基础
上,理解画线词语所在句的意思,有时需要理解
该句的前一句或后一句的意思,或前后句的意思;
也有的需要理解前后一段或几段的意思,如2014
年全国Ⅱ卷的23题和2013年全国课标Ⅱ卷的38题。

要善于根据画线词语所在句内部各分句之
间,或该句与上下句或上下段之间的逻辑关系,
并结合常识,进行推断。特别是转折关系(but,
however,.though,fortunately,sady等)、因果关
系(so,because等)或条件与结果的关系。

点拨:由画线词前文“.but always longed to explore
further.When she retired from dancing and her sons
eventually flew the nest'”及下文“she could get
last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica"
知,Ginni-一直渴望进一步探索,当她退休和儿子们成
家立业后,她就开始周游世界,独自前往南极洲旅行了。
由此可推断,take the plunge与“尝试有挑战性的事情
(try challenging things)”意思接近,故选A项。B项“获
