Most students may be nervous if a dictionary is not around them. But don’t worry! There are some ways to help you guess the meaning of a word without a dictionary. Reread the whole sentence. Your first step is to go back and reread the whole sentence. You may forget what you are reading when you meet a new word. Then try to think about the content (内容) of the sentence. Try guessing the meaning by the background. This will make it different from other parts and you’ll pick it from the rest of the sentence easily. You can often use other words in the sentence to help you find out the meaning of the unknown word. Think about what else is happening in the sentence. For example, maybe you are looking at a sentence that says, “It was a very sultry day in the middle of the summer.” You may understand each word but “sultry”. Think about what you know about summer. Maybe “sultry” has something to do with the weather. It can help you understand the word easily. In a word, don’t be afraid of new words. Try your best to understand them by using these ways. Then you can also understand the sentence or passage better. 13. What should you do first when you meet a new word? A. Ask others for help. B. Reread the whole sentence. C. Look it up in a dictionary. D. Guess its meaning through other words. 14. What does the underlined word “sultry” mean? A. Very hot. B. Very cold. C. Warm. D. Cool. 15. What’s the text mainly about? A. Discussing exam-faced problems. B. Advising not being afraid of dictionaries. C. Teaching ways to guess new words. D. Showing the importance of understanding sentences. 16. How is the text organized? (①＝Paragraph1, ②＝Paragraph 2.) A. B. C. D. 【答案】13. B 14. A 15. C 16. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了在考试中遇到生词时如何通过上下文猜测词义的几种方法。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Your first step is to go back and reread the whole sentence.”可知，遇到生词时应先重读句子。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“It was a very sultry day in the middle of the summer.”并结合夏天天气的特点（炎热）可推断，“sultry”意为“非常热的”。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“如何在不查字典的情况下猜测生词含义”展开（如重读句子、利用背景知识等），因此主要内容是教授猜测生词的方法。故选C。 【16题详解】 篇章结构题。文章结构为：①提出问题（遇到生词怎么办）→②③④分别给出三种解决方法（重读句子、利用背景、联想上下文）→⑤总结建议。选项A的图示（总—分—总）符合此结构。故选A。 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 On the 10th of February, 2024, the first day of the Chinese New Year of the Loong, the Puning Nanshan Yingge Dance team appeared at the London landmark—Burlington Arcade in London, UK, as an important part of the “Happy Chinese New Year” series (系列) of activities. ____17____ Yingge Dance, or “Hero’s Song”, a kind of folk (民间音乐) , is still popular today in the Chaoshan area in Guangdong.
