专题1 第3讲 词句猜测题——顺藤摸瓜，破解词句密码（题型强化练）（Word练习）-【正禾一本通】2026年高考英语二轮专题复习高效讲义

(四)词句猜测题专练1(词义猜测题) A (2025·长春高三质量检测)An alarming phenomenon has sprung up over the past few years：Many students are arriving at college unprepared to read entire books.Many students are overwhelmed at the thought of reading multiple books in a semester.They shut down when they’re faced with ideas they don’t understand. Why is this happening？The attraction of smartphones and social media came up，and it appears that many middle and high schools are teaching fewer full books.But one possible cause that I nod to is a change in values，not ability.The problem does not appear to be that kids these days are incurious or uninterested in reading.Instead，young people might be responding to a cultural message：Books just aren’t that important. I once spoke with 33 professors at some top universities，who didn’t think their students were lazy.It is not unusual that their students’ schedules are crowded with activities that are less about personal development and more relevant to future employment.“There are too many demands on their time to devote themselves fully to works of literature that might take 20 hours to consume，”said James Shapiro，an English professor at Columbia. In 1971，37％ students said that a core objective of their college years was to become well-off financially.73％ said it was to develop a meaningful philosophy of life.By 2015，those numbers had almost reversed (颠倒).Experts and parents alike have emphasized preprofessional courses but downplayed the importance of humanistic study. However society changes，there is no denying that reading is of significance.If we’ve shifted what we hold in esteem (推崇)，it is reasonable that we could，as a society，shift back.The responsibility doesn’t lie only in Generation Z.Everyone who’s upset about the change has a role to play in reversing it. [语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。本文指出近几年来出现很多大学生没有准备好阅读整本书的现象，其原因可能包括智能手机和社交媒体的吸引、很多中学和高中教授的整本书的减少以及价值观的变化等。 1.According to the author，what is the cause of the phenomenon？ A.Many distractions from digital devices. B.Inadequate preparations for college life. C.A misguided belief in reading full books. D.Disqualifications of secondary school teachers. C　[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But one possible cause that I nod to is a change in values，not ability...Books just aren’t that important”可知，作者认为，一个可能的原因是价值观的变化，问题似乎并不在于如今的孩子们没有好奇心或者对阅读不感兴趣。相反，年轻人可能是在回应一种文化信息：书籍并不是那么重要。所以可推知，作者认为出现这种现象的原因是人们对阅读整本书这件事的观点是错误的。故C项正确。] 2.What can be inferred from James Shapiro’s words？ A.Schools should offer time management courses. B.Students are occupied with their works of literature. C.Reading literary pieces is beyond students’ available time. D.Professors believe employment is more related to personal growth. C　[推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘There are too many demands on their time to devote themselves fully to works of literature that might take 20 hours to consume，’said James Shapiro”可知，James Shapiro认为学生们的时间被太多事情占据，无法全身心投入到可能需要20个小时来阅读的文学作品中。所以可推测阅读文学作品超出了学生们可利用的时间。故C项正确。] 3.What does the underlined word “downplayed” in Paragraph 4 mean？ A.Highlighted. B.Underestimated. C.Recognized. D.Misunderstood. B　[词句猜测题。根据该词所在句“Experts and parents alike have emphasized preprofessional courses but downplayed the importance of humanistic study”可知，专家和家长都强调职前课程，but表示转折，所以downplay应该与emphasize意思相反，emphasize是“强调”，所以downplay意思是“贬低”。故B项正确。highlight “突出，强调”；recognize“认可”；misunderstand “误解”。] 4.What is the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph？ A.To restate an opinion. B.To stir up a debate. C.To issue an announcement. D.To put forward a proposal. D　[写作意图题。根据最后一段可知，作者先强调了阅读的重要性，然后指出如果我们已经改变了我们所推崇的东西，那么作为一个社会，我们也有理由转变回来，并且改变现状的责任不只在于Z世代，每个对这种变化感到不安的人都可以在扭转现状这件事中发挥作用。这表明作者是在呼吁大家共同努力，重视阅读，所以作者写最后一段的目的是提出一个建议。故选D项。] B (2025·石家庄普通高中毕业教学质量检测)A third of the Arctic’s tundra(北极冻原)，forests and wetlands have become a source of carbon emissions(排放)，a new study has found，as global heating ends thousands of years of carbon storage. For thousands of years，Arctic land ecosystems have acted as a deep-freeze，holding potential emissions in the tundra.But ecosystems in the region are releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere with rising temperatures，a study published in Nature Climate Change concluded. More than 30％ of the region is a source of CO2，according to the analysis，rising to 40％ when emissions from wildfires are included.By using data from 200 study sites between 1990 and 2020，the research demonstrates how the Arctic’s tundra，forests and wetlands are being transformed by rapid warming. The shift is occurring despite the Arctic becoming greener.“In one place where I work in Alaska，when the tundra unfreezes，the plants that absorb CO2 grow more，so you can sometimes get an uptick in carbon storage，”Sue Natalia，the lead researcher said.“But the tundra continues to unfreeze and the microbes(微生物)take over.You can visually see the changes in the landscape.” There is a growing concern about the natural processes that regulate the Earth’s climate，which are being affected by rising temperatures.Together，the planet’s oceans，forests，soils and other natural carbon sinks absorb about half of all human emissions，but there are signs that these sinks are under stress. The Arctic ecosystem has been gathering carbon for thousands of years，helping cool the atmosphere.In a warming world，the researchers say，its carbon cycle is beginning to change and needs better monitoring.Dr Anna Virkkala，the author of the study，said，“The carbon in the Arctic soil is close to half of the Earth’s soil carbon pool，much more than in the atmosphere.This huge pool should ideally stay in the ground.But now，rising temperatures are speeding the breakdown of plant and animal remains，which releases stored carbon back into the air as greenhouse gases like CO2，creating a cycle that fuels even more warming.” [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，因全球变暖，三分之一的北极冻原、森林和湿地变为碳排放源。多年以来北极生态系统扮演着储存碳的“深冷冻柜”角色，现因升温释放更多二氧化碳。人们需要更好地监测北极的碳循环变化。 5.What’s the main reason for the release of carbon from Arctic soils？ A.Tundra defrosting. B.Wildfire erupting. C.Tree over-cutting. D.Wetland disappearing. A　[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“For thousands of years，Arctic land ecosystems have acted as a deep-freeze...But ecosystems in the region are releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere with rising temperatures”以及第四段中的“But the tundra continues to unfreeze and the microbes(微生物)take over”可知，北极的陆地生态系统在过去几千年中一直是碳储存的“深冷冻柜”，但随着全球变暖，这些生态系统正在释放更多的二氧化碳；冻原仍在持续解冻，微生物开始占据主导地位。故可推知冻原解冻是北极土壤中碳释放的主要原因。故选A。] 6.What does the underlined word“uptick”in Paragraph 4 mean？ A.Boost. B.Loss. C.Limit. D.Release. A　[词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“when the tundra unfreezes，the plants that absorb CO2 grow more，so you can sometimes get an uptick in carbon storage”并结合常识可知，当冻原解冻时，吸收二氧化碳的植物生长得更多，所以在这种情况下碳储存量应该是有所增加。故选A。boost“增长，提高”。] 7.What can we infer about the Arctic’s soil carbon pool according to Dr Anna Virkkala？ A.It has less carbon than the air. B.It ought to be stored in the tundra. C.It can break down organic matter. D.It is less affected by global warming. B　[推理判断题。根据第六段中Anna Virkkala博士说的话“The carbon in the Arctic soil is close to half of the Earth’s soil carbon pool，much more than in the atmosphere.This huge pool should ideally stay in the ground”可知，Anna Virkkala认为北极土壤中的碳库巨大，理想情况下应该留在地下，也就是应该被储存在冻原中。故选B。] 8.What is the main idea of the text？ A.Arctic greening cuts carbon emissions. B.More carbon is being released in Arctic. C.Arctic carbon storage is growing rapidly. D.Extreme climate makes Arctic uninhabitable. B　[主旨大意题。文章开篇就指出三分之一的北极冻原、森林和湿地已成为碳排放源，接着阐述了随着全球变暖，北极生态系统的变化导致更多碳被释放，虽然北极绿化状况有改善，但整体上北极还是在释放更多碳，所以文章主要是在说北极正在释放更多的碳。故选B。] C (2025·武汉高中毕业生调研考试)A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than，say，history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with.After all，“Was Henry Ⅷ a good king？” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates.But “solve this quadratic equation(二次方程)”would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed.Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible，yet hard enough to be satisfying.It is a big headache in itself. Partly for this reason，books that successfully communicate how mathematicians think，but are aimed at those not already in the field，are both valuable and rare.Now Sir David Spiegelhalter，professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge，has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty.His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians，for its topic is universal：how to analyse chance，uncertainty and risk. If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine (疫苗)，is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful？ How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill？Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful.First，he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work.So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem，a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light.The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths. Most important，though，is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas.Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition，and the maths behind it is often fearsome.But this is not a difficult book to read or understand. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了剑桥大学教授David Spiegelhalter的《不确定性的艺术》一书，这本书通过直觉假设和简单数学，向非专业人士传达概率和统计学的概念，使复杂的数学变得易于理解。 9.What does the underlined word“nonplussed”in Paragraph 1 probably mean？ A.Impressed. B.Inspired. C.Confused. D.Amused. C　[词句猜测题。根据语境和常识可知，解这个二次方程会让课堂上的孩子不知所措，让讲堂上的听众印象平平。因此，nonplussed在这里的意思是“非常困惑的”，故选C。] 10.What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author？ A.It casts light on maths thoughts. B.It covers various topics. C.It makes sense to ordinary people. D.It satisfies maths professionals C　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His new book will appeal to many more than just mathematicians，for its topic is universal： how to analyse chance，uncertainty and risk”可知，《不确定性的艺术》将吸引的不仅仅是数学家，因为它的主题是普遍的：如何分析机会、不确定性和风险。这表明这本书对普通人来说也易于理解。] 11.Why does the author mention Bayes’s theorem in Paragraph 3？ A.To prove the reliability of intuitions. B.To reveal the book’s academic nature. C.To underline the deep truth of judgement. D.To demonstrate Spiegelhalter’s writing approach. D　[写作意图题。根据第三段内容尤其是其中的“The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach...some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths”可知，Bayes要根据新证据的出现而改进概率判断，而Spiegelhalter教授方法的美妙之处在于，他通过一些直觉假设和非常简单的数学就达到了这个深刻的真理。所以作者在第三段中提及Bayes定理是为了展现Spiegelhalter教授不同的达到深刻真理的方法，故选D。] 12.What is the text mainly about？ A.A master of maths teaching. B.A book on intuitive assumptions. C.A discussion of risk management. D.A guide to understanding probability. D　[主旨大意题。结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了Spiegelhalter教授的书《不确定性的艺术》，这本书通过简单的方法帮助读者理解概率和统计学的概念。因此，文章主要讲的是理解概率的指南。] 核心 单词 A篇 Para.3：schedule n.工作计划，日程安排　Para.4：objective n.目标，目的　emphasize v.强调，重视，着重　humanistic adj.人文主义的 B篇 Para.1：storage n.贮存，贮藏(空间)　Para.2：potential adj.潜在的　release v.释放，放出，放走 Para.3：demonstrate v.证明，证实，论证，说明　transform v.使改变外观(或性质)，使改观　Para.4：unfreeze v.(使)解冻，化冻，融化　Para.5：regulate v.调节，控制(速度、压力、温度等)　Para.6：breakdown n.分解 C篇 Para.3：illustrate v.(用示例、图画等)说明，解释　proceed v.继续做；接着做，继而做　procedure n.程序　approach n.(待人接物或思考问题的)方式，方法，态度 核心 短语 A篇 Para.1：spring up冒出，涌出；突然生长或出现　be overwhelmed at...对……感到不知所措　Para.2：come up出现；被提及，被讨论　Para.3：be crowded with挤满，充满 B篇 Para.2：act as充当；担任　Para.4：take over接替，取代 C篇 Para.1：come up with想出，提出　Para.2：be aimed at目的是，旨在　appeal to吸引　Para.3：run wild失控　come down to归结为　come to light暴露，真相大白　nothing more than只不过 词缀 变形 A篇 Para.2：attraction n.吸引力，有吸引力的特征(或品质、人)→attract v.吸引；引起……的注意　incurious adj.不感兴趣的，不好奇的，漫不经心的→curious adj.好奇的，求知欲强的→curiosity n.好奇心，求知欲　Para.3：relevant adj.紧密相关的，切题的；有价值的→relevance n.相关性 C篇 Para.1：impress v.使钦佩，使敬仰，给……留下深刻的好印象→impressed adj.(对……)钦佩，敬仰，有深刻的好印象→unimpressed adj.印象平平的，无深刻印象的　access v.到达，进入，使用→accessible adj.容易理解的，易懂的；可到达的，可接近的，可进入的，可使用的，可见到的　 Para.3：assume v.假定，假设，认为→assumption n.假定，假设 (五)词句猜测题专练2(短语猜测题＋代词指代题) A (2025·成都高中毕业班第二次诊断性检测)A honeybee’s life depends on it successfully harvesting from flowers to make honey.Deciding which flower is most likely to offer nectar(花蜜)is incredibly difficult.In new research published recently，our team reports how bees make these complex decisions. We challenged bees with a field of artificial flowers，each of which offered a tiny drop of sugar syrup.Different-colored“flowers”varied in their likelihood of offering sugar.We put tiny，harmless paint marks on the back of each bee，and filmed every visit a bee made to the flower array.We then used computer vision and machine learning to automatically draw and study the route on which bees flew through.From this information，we found bees very quickly learned to identify the most rewarding flowers.They quickly assessed whether to accept or reject a flower，but surprisingly they made correct decisions within 0.6 seconds while incorrect decisions took them 1.2 seconds on average. The results and what we expected are poles apart.Usually in animals，an accurate decision takes longer than an inaccurate decision.This is called the speed-accuracy trade-off，which happens because determining whether a decision is right or wrong usually depends on how much evidence we have to make that decision.More evidence means a more accurate decision，but gathering evidence takes time.So accurate decisions are usually slow and inaccurate decisions are faster.But bees only accepted a flower if，at a glance，they were sure it was rewarding.If they had any uncertainty，they rejected it.They might have missed some rewarding flowers，but they successfully focused their efforts only on the flowers with the best chance and best evidence of providing them with sugar. The only other animals known to beat the speed-accuracy trade-off are humans and primates.It’s indeed amazing that bees seemed to be breaking this boundary. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。研究发现蜜蜂可以快速识别最有可能提供花蜜的花朵，且其做出正确选择的速度比做出错误选择的速度要快。 1.How did researchers get the result of the experiment？ A.By observing bees in the wild. B.By analyzing bees’ flight paths. C.By testing bees in different colors. D.By comparing bees’ food preference. B　[细节理解题。根据第二段的“We then used computer vision...bees very quickly learned to identify the most rewarding flowers”可知，研究人员利用计算机视觉和机器学习自动绘制并研究蜜蜂飞行的路线，从这些信息中，研究人员发现蜜蜂能非常迅速地学会识别那些回报最丰厚的花朵。由此可知，研究人员是通过分析蜜蜂的飞行路线得出实验结果的，故选B。] 2.What did the research find about bees？ A.They could tell artificial flowers immediately. B.They performed better in certain colored flowers. C.They made right choices faster than the wrong ones. D.They made more correct decisions than other species. C　[细节理解题。根据第二段的“they made correct decisions within 0.6 seconds while incorrect decisions took them 1.2 seconds on average”可知，蜜蜂做出正确决定的平均用时为0.6秒，而做出错误决定的平均用时为1.2秒。由此可知，蜜蜂做出正确选择的速度比做出错误选择的速度要快，故选C。] 3.What does the underlined phrase “poles apart” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？ A.Contrary. B.Reasonable. C.Essential. D.Confusing. A　[词句猜测题。第二段尾句讲研究结果表明蜜蜂做出正确决定的速度比做出错误决定的速度要快。第三段的“Usually in animals，an accurate decision takes longer than an inaccurate decision”讲通常情况下，对动物而言，做出准确决定比做出不准确决定所花费的时间要长。由此可推知，研究结果与人们的预期大相径庭，故画线短语的含义与A项“相反的”意思最为接近。] 4.Why do bees beat the speed-accuracy trade-off？ A.They ignore uncertainties. B.They gather evidence very fast. C.They stay on the right track while flying. D.They adopt a special decision-making mechanism. D　[推理判断题。根据第三段的“This is called the speed-accuracy trade-off...accurate decisions are usually slow and inaccurate decisions are faster”可知，根据速度—准确性权衡，判断一个决策是对还是错，通常取决于在做出该决策时掌握的证据量，证据越多，决定就越准确，但收集证据需要时间，所以，准确的决定通常比较慢，而不准确的决定则更快。而第三段的“bees only accepted a flower...providing them with sugar”讲蜜蜂只有在一眼就能确定某朵花会有回报时才会接受它，如果它们有任何不确定，它们就会拒绝这朵花；虽然它们可能会错过一些有回报的花朵，但它们成功地将精力只集中在那些最有可能且最有迹象能为它们提供糖分的花朵上。由此可知，蜜蜂采用的决策机制与速度—准确性权衡决策机制不同，故选D。] B (2025·甘肃一诊暨高三月考)In a typical residential area of Hong Kong(HK)，the basketball courts at Kennedy Town Playground (KTP) are surprisingly busy—not with players，but with tourists.Located on a hill，the courts provide great views of the Hong Kong skyline，making them an unexpected attraction. This trend began with a hot post on the social media platform Xiaohongshu，turning the playground into a unique spot for photo opportunities.The post received over 13，000 likes and 15，000 saves，illustrating the concept of “planting grass”. “Planting grass”，or zhongcao，refers to recommending products or experiences to make others interested in trying them.This phenomenon has become a key driver of tourism and commerce，creating what’s now called the “grass planting economy”，which means recommendation-based business models.In Fujian，the popularity of a folk tradition known as zanhuawei has turned Quanzhou into a vibrant cultural destination.Similarly，Jingdezhen in Jiangxi，famous for its porcelain art，has become popular among young travelers due to “planting grass” posts. The charm of this model comes from how real it feels： Millions of users act as city ambassadors，sharing personal recommendations.Different from traditional tours，the trips described in these posts feature the hidden charm of the cities and build meaningful connections with local culture，boosting tourism，according to Xinhua. This phenomenon is not limited to Chinese social media，however.Globally，platforms have also driven recommendation-based marketing.Data analysis company DataReportal revealed that in 2023，62.2 percent of a social media platform users followed or researched brands through the platform，highlighting its influence on purchasing behavior. While “planting grass” can help the economy grow，it also carries some risks.Following trends without caution may lead to overcrowding and danger.In Hong Kong，21 popular locations recommended on social media often attract tourists who crowd narrow sidewalks，blocking locals—particularly the elderly—from passing through. [语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章介绍了“种草”这一概念，并阐述了“种草”现象成为旅游和商业的关键驱动力，形成了“种草经济”。但“种草”也存在风险，如可能导致热门地点过度拥挤，给当地居民生活带来不便等。 5.What makes the basketball courts at KTP popular with tourists？ A.Interesting activities. B.The historical significance. C.Great views of the HK skyline. D.Various shopping malls. C　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Located on a hill，the courts provide great views of the Hong Kong skyline，making them an unexpected attraction”可知，坚尼地城游乐场的篮球场位于山上，能看到香港天际线的美景，这使得篮球场受到游客欢迎，故选C。] 6.Why does the author mention Quanzhou and Jingdezhen？ A.To give reasons. B.To give examples. C.To make comparisons. D.To make advertisements. B　[推理判断题。文章第三段先阐述了“种草”现象成为旅游和商业的主要推动力，催生了“种草经济”。然后提到泉州因一种民间传统“簪花围”(在“种草”影响下)的流行成为了充满活力的文化旅游胜地；景德镇则凭借自身闻名的瓷器艺术，在“种草”贴的传播下，受到年轻游客的青睐。这两个城市的例子，均是在说明“种草”现象对旅游和商业的推动作用。故选B。] 7.What does the underlined term “city ambassadors” in Paragraph 4 refer to？ A.Celebrities promoting a city. B.Travel agents specializing in city tours. C.Users sharing their own recommendations. D.Officials representing a city’s government. C　[词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Millions of users act as city ambassadors，sharing personal recommendations”可知，数以百万计的用户扮演着“city ambassadors”的角色，分享着个人推荐内容，故选C。] 8.How is the text structured？ A.Problem—Cause—Impact—Solution. B.Cause—Effect—Example—Conclusion. C.Introduction—Benefit—Problem—Cause. D.Phenomenon—Definition—Impact—Problem. D　[文章结构题。第一段：现象引入——以香港坚尼地城游乐场的篮球场为例，为下文对“种草”现象的探讨做铺垫。第二段：概念定义——通过介绍小红书上关于该篮球场的热门帖子数据，引出“种草”这一概念。第三、四段：影响阐述——阐述“种草”现象对旅游和商业的积极影响。第六段：风险提醒——“种草”带来的诸如人群拥挤等问题。所以文章的结构是“现象—定义—影响—风险/问题”。故选D。] C (2023·武汉七校联考)Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer(ChatGPT)，created by OpenAI，an AI research company，is a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology that allows you to have human-like conversations with a chatbot.The language model can answer questions，and assist you with tasks such as composing emails，essays，and code. ChatGPT is powered by a large language model，or LLM，meaning it’s programmed to understand human language and generate responses based on a large amount of data.What makes ChatGPT so impressive is its ability to log context from users’ earlier messages in a thread and use it to form responses later in the conversation. According to an analysis by Swiss bank UBS，ChatGPT is the fastest growing app of all time.In January，only two months after its launch，the UBS analysis estimated that ChatGPT would have 100 million active users.For comparison，it took nine months for TikTok to reach 100 million. Despite looking very impressive，ChatGPT still has limitations.Instead of asking for clarification on ambiguous (模棱两可的) questions，the model just takes a guess at what your question means.“The primary problem is that the answers that ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect，” says a Stack Overflow moderator in a post.Critics argue that these tools are just very good at putting words into an order that makes sense from a statistical point of view，but they cannot understand the meaning or know whether the statements it makes are correct.Another major limitation is that ChatGPT’s data is limited to 2021. ChatGPT is an advanced chatbot that has the potential to make people’s lives easier and to assist with everyday tiring tasks，such as writing an email or having to navigate the web for answers.However，there are certain technical details that have to be figured out before it’s widely used to prevent negative outcomes such as the spread of misinformation.In general，this AI model relies on lots of training and fine-tuning to reach a level of ideal performance.
