Part 1 语境串记语篇
【英文语篇】
My grandmother is sixty-eight years old. Last autumn she resolved to go back to school. Her objective was simple: she wanted to read English news by herself. In September she registered for an evening class at the community college, and she also subscribed to a small English magazine. On the first day she sat in the front row with a brand-new notebook in her hands.
At first her comprehension was poor. Concrete words such as bus, rain and market were easy, but abstract ones such as freedom and value made her frown. A few neighbours criticized her plan, and their assumption was that learning belongs only to the young. Grandma never ceased asking questions. In June she qualified for the second level, and now the prospect of reading a whole newspaper keeps her eyes bright.
【中文译文】
我奶奶六十八岁了。去年秋天,她(resolve)下定决心重新回到学校。她的(objective)目标很简单:她想自己读懂英文新闻。九月,她在社区学院(register)报名了一个夜校班,还(subscribe)订阅了一本小小的英语杂志。开学第一天,她手里捧着一个全新的笔记本,坐在了第一排。
起初她的(comprehension)理解力很差。像bus、rain、market这样(concrete)具体的词很容易,可像freedom、value这样(abstract)抽象的词却让她直皱眉。几位邻居(criticize)批评了她的计划,他们的(assumption)设想是:学习只属于年轻人。奶奶从未(cease)停止提问。六月,她(qualify)取得了升入第二级的资格,如今,读完一整份报纸的(prospect)前景让她眼里有光。
💡 语境串联记忆线索:下定决心→明确目标→报名注册→订阅期刊→理解吃力→具体易懂→抽象难懂→遭人批评→打破设想→从不停止→取得资格→展望前景

Part 3 词根拆解 · 联想记忆 · 高考考点
1. resolve /rɪˈzɒlv/ vt. 解决;决定 vi. 下定决心 n. 决心;决意
【核心考点】 resolve是"终身学习""克服困难"类语篇的核心动词,一词两义必须同时掌握。义项一"解决":resolve a conflict/problem/dispute(解决冲突/问题/争端),常与settle互换,语体更正式。义项二"决心":resolve to do sth.(决心做某事,后接不定式,不接doing)、resolve that…(决意…)。作名词表"决心",如with great resolve(怀着极大的决心)。同源词resolution n.(决心;决议;分辨率)→ make a New Year's resolution(立新年决心);resolute adj.(坚决的);resolved adj.(下定决心的)→ be resolved to do sth.。辨析:resolve(正式,强调经过思考后作出决断或化解难题)vs decide(最通用的"决定")vs determine(下决心,常用be determined to do)vs solve(仅指解答难题,不表"决心")。
【词根联想】 re-(重新,back)+ solvere(拉丁语"松开,解开")→ 把纠缠在一起的结重新解开→ 解决;引申为心中疑虑解开→ 下定决心。联想:solv/solu"松开"→ solve(解决)、solution(解决办法)、dissolve(溶解→彻底松开)、absolute(绝对的→不受束缚的)、resolve(解决;决心)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:resolve n. 决心;决意。熟义作动词"解决"之外,resolve作名词表示坚定的决心,如strengthen one's resolve(坚定决心)、with quiet resolve(带着沉静的决心)。此义在人物励志类读后续写与议论文中很实用,可替换determination。
【真题原句】
(2022·全国甲卷·阅读D·resolving动名词表"解决")"We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving (解决)."(我们似乎拿不定主意,究竟是要一座现代的城市还是一座传统的城市。这是一种我们并未越来越擅长化解的矛盾。)(真题原句·resolve 解决)
【搭配词块】 resolve to do sth. 决心做某事 / resolve a conflict 化解矛盾 / resolution n. 决心 / be resolved to do 决意做
2. objective /əbˈdʒektɪv/ n. 目标;目的 adj. 客观的;如实的;实际存在的
【核心考点】 objective是学习规划与议论文写作的双高频词,名词、形容词两种词性都要会用。作名词"目标":set/achieve/meet an objective(设定/实现目标)、the main objective of the course(这门课程的主要目标)、learning objectives(学习目标)。作形容词"客观的":an objective judgement/view(客观的判断/看法)、be objective about sth.(对某事持客观态度);反义词subjective adj.(主观的);副词objectively adv.(客观地)→ objectively speaking(客观地说,写作高级插入语);名词objectivity n.(客观性)。辨析:objective(正式书面,指经过筹划、可衡量的具体目标)vs goal(长远的总体目标)vs aim(意图,可大可小)vs purpose(做某事的意图与理由)vs target(有明确数量指标的靶标)。
【词根联想】 ob-(朝向,against)+ ject(拉丁语jacere"投掷,throw")+ -ive→ 被投掷到眼前的东西→ 客观存在的对象→ 目标;客观的。联想:ject"投"→ project(投射;项目)、reject(拒绝→投回去)、inject(注射→投进去)、eject(弹出)、object(物体;反对)、objective(目标;客观的)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:objective adj. 客观的;不带个人感情的。熟义名词"目标"之外,objective作形容词是阅读理解态度题与写作的高频词,如remain objective(保持客观)、objective evidence(客观证据)。命题人常用objective与subjective构成一对干扰选项,务必分清。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"Her only objective in taking the night class was to read an English newspaper by herself."(她上夜校的唯一目标,就是能够自己读懂一份英文报纸。)(经典原句·objective 目标)
【搭配词块】 achieve an objective 实现目标 / be objective about 客观看待 / objectively speaking 客观地说 / subjective adj. 主观的
3. register /ˈredʒɪstə(r)/ v. 登记;注册;报名;(仪表)显示;(情感)流露 n. 登记簿;语域
【核心考点】 register是应用文(课程广告、活动通知、报名须知)中出现率极高的动词,高考A篇几乎必考。常用搭配register for a course/an exam/a camp(报名课程/考试/夏令营)、register with a doctor/an agency(在诊所/机构登记)、register a birth/a complaint(登记出生/提出投诉)。名词registration n.(注册;报名)→ cancel your registration(取消报名)、registration fee(报名费);registered adj.(已注册的;挂号的)→ a registered letter(挂号信);registry n.(登记处)。辨析:register(正式登记入册,强调进入官方名单)vs sign up(口语化的"报名参加")vs enrol/enroll(入学、入会注册,多用于学校或组织)vs apply(申请,结果未定)。
【词根联想】 re-(回,back)+ gest(拉丁语gerere"携带,carry")→ 被带回来记入册中的东西→ 登记簿→ 登记;注册。联想:gest/ger"带"→ suggest(建议→带到下面)、digest(消化;文摘)、gesture(手势)、register(登记);对比record(记录)同为"留痕"词族。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:register v. (面部)流露;(仪表)显示出。熟义"注册"之外,register可表示情绪在脸上显现或仪器读数显示,如His face registered surprise(他脸上露出惊讶的神色)、The thermometer registered 40℃(温度计显示40摄氏度)。此义在读后续写神态描写中极为出彩。
【真题原句】
(2023年1月·浙江卷·阅读A·registration名词表"报名")"The last day to cancel registration and receive a full refund (退款) is June 15."(取消报名并获得全额退款的最后一天是6月15日。)(真题原句·register 报名;注册)
【搭配词块】 register for a course 报名课程 / cancel registration 取消报名 / register with 在…登记 / registered adj. 已注册的
4. subscribe /səbˈskraɪb/ vi. 订阅;订购;定期捐款 vt. 签署;签名
【核心考点】 subscribe是自主学习与媒体话题的高频动词,考点集中在固定介词to上。subscribe to a magazine/a newspaper/a channel(订阅杂志/报纸/频道)——注意subscribe为不及物动词,不能说subscribe a magazine,这是高考经典易错点。引申义subscribe to a view/an idea/a theory(赞同某观点/看法/理论),是议论文中表态度的高级表达,可替换agree with。另有subscribe to a charity(定期向慈善机构捐款)。名词subscription n.(订阅;订阅费;会员费)→ take out a subscription to(订阅…);subscriber n.(订阅者;用户)。辨析:subscribe to(长期定期订阅或赞同)vs order(一次性订购)vs agree with(普通的"同意")vs support(支持,语体最中性)。
【词根联想】 sub-(在下面,under)+ scribe(拉丁语scribere"写,write")→ 在文件下方签名→ 签名认购→ 订阅;赞同。联想:scrib/script"写"→ describe(描述)、prescribe(开处方→事先写下)、manuscript(手稿)、transcript(成绩单;文字稿)、subscribe(订阅)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:subscribe to sth. 赞同;同意(某观点)。熟义"订阅"之外,subscribe to常用于表达对观点的认可,如I don't subscribe to that theory(我不赞同那种理论)。此义在观点类阅读与议论文写作中频繁出现,是替换agree with的高分表达。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"After he retired, Mr Chen subscribed to three history journals and read them from cover to cover."(退休以后,陈先生订阅了三份历史期刊,并且每一期都从头读到尾。)(经典原句·subscribe 订阅)
【搭配词块】 subscribe to a magazine 订阅杂志 / subscribe to a view 赞同观点 / subscription n. 订阅费 / subscriber n. 订阅者
5. comprehension /ˌkɒmprɪˈhenʃn/ n. 理解;理解力;领悟;理解力练习(题)
【核心考点】 comprehension是"学习与认知"主题的核心名词,2024年新课标Ⅰ卷阅读C篇开篇即用此词设问。常用搭配reading/listening comprehension(阅读/听力理解)、beyond one's comprehension(某人无法理解的)、have a good comprehension of(对…有很好的理解)、a comprehension test(理解力测试)。动词comprehend v.(理解;领会;包含);形容词comprehensive adj.(综合的;全面的)→ a comprehensive survey(全面调查);comprehensible adj.(可理解的)。特别注意区分comprehensive(全面的)与comprehensible(能被理解的),这是高考形近词辨析的常客。辨析:comprehension(正式,指对复杂内容的整体理解能力)vs understanding(最通用,可指理解也可指谅解)vs grasp(对要点的把握)vs insight(洞察力,更深一层)。
【词根联想】 com-(一起,together)+ prehendere(拉丁语"抓住,seize")+ -sion(名词后缀)→ 把各部分意思一把抓住→ 理解。联想:prehend/pris"抓"→ comprehend(理解)、apprehend(逮捕;理解)、prison(监狱→抓人之地)、surprise(惊讶→突然抓住)、comprehension(理解力)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:comprehension n. (中小学的)阅读理解练习题。熟义"理解力"之外,英式英语中comprehension可作可数名词,指课堂上的一份理解练习,如We had a comprehension in today's English lesson(今天英语课上我们做了一篇阅读理解)。
【真题原句】
(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷·阅读C·comprehension作主语设问)"Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text on screen or on paper?"(无论一个人是在屏幕上还是在纸上读同一篇文章,其理解程度都一样吗?)(真题原句·comprehension 理解;理解力)
【搭配词块】 reading comprehension 阅读理解 / beyond one's comprehension 无法理解 / comprehend v. 理解 / comprehensive adj. 全面的
6. concrete /ˈkɒŋkriːt/ adj. 具体的;实在的;混凝土制的 n. 混凝土 vt. 用混凝土浇筑
【核心考点】 concrete在议论文与说明文中是"抽象—具体"这一对概念的关键词。concrete evidence/proof(确凿的证据)、a concrete example(一个具体的例子)、concrete suggestions/proposals(具体的建议/方案)、in concrete terms(具体地说)。作名词指"混凝土",如a concrete wall/floor(混凝土墙/地面)。副词concretely adv.(具体地);名词concreteness n.(具体性)。写作要点:议论文中"举一个具体的例子"写作give a concrete example远优于give an example;提出"切实可行的建议"写作put forward concrete measures。辨析:concrete(可看得见摸得着、明确无误的)vs specific(具体明确的,强调特指而非笼统)vs practical(实用的,强调可操作)vs definite(确定的,强调无疑问);反义词为abstract(抽象的)。
【词根联想】 con-(一起,together)+ crescere(拉丁语"生长,grow")→ 各种材料共同凝结生长在一起→ 凝结成形的实体→ 具体的;混凝土。联想:cre/cresc"生长"→ create(创造)、increase(增加)、crescent(新月→渐长的月亮)、concrete(凝成一体的→具体的)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:concrete n. 混凝土。熟义形容词"具体的"之外,concrete作不可数名词指建筑材料混凝土,如be set in concrete(用混凝土浇筑固定,引申为"一成不变、无法更改")。这一比喻用法在议论文中可表示"墨守成规"。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"Instead of a long explanation, the teacher gave the class a concrete example from daily life."(老师没有作长篇解释,而是给全班举了一个来自日常生活的具体例子。)(经典原句·concrete 具体的)
【搭配词块】 a concrete example 具体例子 / concrete evidence 确凿证据 / in concrete terms 具体地说 / concrete suggestions 切实建议
7. abstract /ˈæbstrækt/ (adj./n.) /æbˈstrækt/ (v.) adj. 抽象的;抽象派的 n. 摘要;抽象概念 vt. 提取;做摘要
【核心考点】 abstract是认知与艺术类语篇的高频词,注意名词/形容词重音在前、动词重音在后。作形容词:abstract ideas/concepts/thinking(抽象的观念/概念/思维)、abstract art/painting(抽象艺术/绘画);作名词:write an abstract of the paper(写论文摘要)、in the abstract(抽象地;理论上)。名词abstraction n.(抽象;抽象概念;出神)→ mental abstraction(抽象思维,2024年新课标Ⅰ卷原词);副词abstractly adv.。写作要点:"由具体到抽象"写作move from the concrete to the abstract。辨析:abstract(脱离具体实例、只存在于观念中的)vs theoretical(理论上的,与实践相对)vs vague(模糊不清的,含贬义)vs general(笼统的,与particular相对);反义词为concrete(具体的)。
【词根联想】 abs-(离开,away)+ tract(拉丁语trahere"拉,draw")→ 把本质从具体事物中抽离出来→ 抽象的;提取。联想:tract"拉"→ attract(吸引→拉向自己)、extract(提取→拉出来)、contract(合同;收缩→拉紧)、distract(分心→拉走注意力)、abstract(抽象的)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:abstract n. 摘要;概要。熟义形容词"抽象的"之外,abstract作名词专指学术论文前的内容摘要,如the abstract of a research paper(研究论文摘要)。学术阅读与图表说明类语篇中常见此义。
【真题原句】
(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷·阅读C·abstraction名词表"抽象思维")"The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks — like identifying the main idea in a reading passage — to ones that require mental abstraction — such as drawing inferences from a text."(当实验者从设置识别主旨这类简单任务,转向需要抽象思维的任务(例如从文本中作出推断)时,纸质阅读的优势尤为凸显。)(真题原句·abstract 抽象的)
【搭配词块】 abstract ideas 抽象概念 / in the abstract 抽象地 / abstraction n. 抽象思维 / abstract art 抽象艺术
8. criticize /ˈkrɪtɪsaɪz/ vt./vi. 批评;指责;批判;评论
【核心考点】 criticize是人物与观点类语篇的高频动词,考点在介词搭配与派生词。criticize sb. for (doing) sth.(因某事批评某人,介词固定用for)、be widely criticized(受到广泛批评)、criticize sth. as…(批评某事为…)。名词criticism n.(批评;评论)→ come in for criticism(受到批评)、constructive criticism(建设性批评);critic n.(批评家;评论家)→ a film critic(影评人);critical adj.(批判的;挑剔的;关键的;危急的)→ be critical of(对…持批评态度)、a critical moment(关键时刻);critically adv.。辨析:criticize(指出缺点,多含负面评价)vs blame(把过错归咎于某人,blame sb. for sth.)vs scold(责骂,多用于长辈对晚辈)vs comment on(客观评论,中性)。注意critical的"关键的"与"批评的"两义都是高考考点。
【词根联想】 希腊语krites"裁判者"(源自krinein"分辨;判断")+ -ize(动词后缀)→ 像裁判一样作出判断→ 批评;评论。联想:crit/cris"判断;分开"→ critic(批评家)、critical(关键的;批判的)、criterion(标准)、crisis(危机→需作判断的关口)、criticize(批评)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:criticize v. 评论;评价(中性义)。熟义"批评指责"之外,criticize在学术语境中可指客观地分析评论作品,如criticize a poem(评论一首诗)。相应地,critic既可指"挑剔的人",也可指专业的"评论家"。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"A few neighbours criticized the old woman for going back to school at the age of sixty-eight."(几位邻居批评这位老太太六十八岁还要重返校园。)(经典原句·criticize 批评)
【搭配词块】 criticize sb. for 因…批评某人 / criticism n. 批评 / be critical of 对…持批评态度 / critic n. 评论家
9. assumption /əˈsʌmpʃn/ n. 假设;假定;设想;(责任、权力的)承担
【核心考点】 assumption是议论文与推理判断题的核心名词。on the assumption that…(假定…,that引导同位语从句,从句成分完整)、make an assumption(作出假设)、challenge/question an assumption(质疑某种设想)、a false/common assumption(错误的/常见的设想)。动词assume v.(假定;认为;承担;呈现)→ assume that…(想当然地认为…)、assume responsibility(承担责任);assuming that…(假如…,用作连词)。写作要点:驳斥错误观念时可写It is a common assumption that…, but the fact is…(人们普遍设想…,但事实是…),是议论文让步反驳的黄金句式。辨析:assumption(未经证实即当作前提的设想)vs hypothesis(有待科学检验的假说)vs guess(无根据的猜测)vs belief(个人坚信的看法)。
【词根联想】 as-(ad-变体,朝向)+ sumere(拉丁语"拿取,take")+ -tion→ 事先把某个前提拿过来当真→ 假定;设想。联想:sum/sumpt"拿"→ assume(假定;承担)、consume(消耗→全部拿走)、resume(恢复→重新拿起)、presume(推测→事先拿来)、assumption(假设)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:assumption n. (责任、职务、权力的)承担;就任。熟义"假设"之外,assumption在正式文体中指对职责或权力的接管,如the assumption of office(就职)、the assumption of responsibility(责任的承担)。对应动词assume也有"承担"之义。
【真题原句】
(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷·阅读C·assume动词表"想当然认为")"However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn't assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words."(然而,在需要专注与反思才能实现学习效果最大化的场合,教育者不应想当然地认为所有媒介都一样,哪怕它们承载的文字完全相同。)(真题原句·assumption 假设;设想)
【搭配词块】 on the assumption that 假定… / make an assumption 作出假设 / assume v. 假定;承担 / a false assumption 错误设想
10. cease /siːs/ vt./vi. 停止;终止;结束 n. 停止(用于without cease)
【核心考点】 cease是书面语中替换stop的高级动词,语体正式。用法要点:cease to do sth. 与 cease doing sth. 都可以,含义基本相同(这一点与stop不同——stop to do是"停下来去做",stop doing才是"停止做"),高考常在此设置陷阱。常用搭配cease fire(停火)、cease operations/production(停止运营/生产)、never cease to amaze sb.(总是让某人惊叹不已,写作亮点句)、without cease(不停地)。形容词ceaseless adj.(不停的;持续的)→ ceaseless efforts(不懈的努力);副词ceaselessly adv.。辨析:cease(正式,指活动或状态逐渐终止)vs stop(最通用,可指突然停止)vs quit(放弃某种习惯或工作,口语)vs halt((使)暂停,多用于行进中的事物)vs pause(短暂停顿后还会继续)。
【词根联想】 拉丁语cessare"停下来;懈怠"(cedere"走;让步"的反复态)→ 不再往前走→ 停止。联想:ced/cess"走"→ proceed(前进)、exceed(超过→走过头)、succeed(成功→接着走)、recession(衰退→往后走)、cease(停止→不走了)。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"Grandma never ceased asking questions, even when the other students had already left the classroom."(奶奶从未停止提问,哪怕别的学生早已离开了教室。)(经典原句·cease 停止)
【搭配词块】 cease to do / cease doing 停止做 / never cease to amaze 总令人惊叹 / ceaseless adj. 不停的 / without cease 不停地
11. qualify /ˈkwɒlɪfaɪ/ vi. 取得资格;具备条件 vt. 使合格;使具备资格;限定
【核心考点】 qualify是升学就业与终身学习话题的核心动词,介词搭配是高考重点。qualify for sth.(有资格获得某物;具备…的条件),如qualify for the final(取得决赛资格)、qualify for a discount(符合打折条件);qualify as sth.(取得…的资格;称得上是),如qualify as a teacher/nurse(取得教师/护士资格);qualify sb. to do sth.(使某人有资格做某事)。形容词qualified adj.(合格的;有资格的;有保留的)→ a qualified doctor(合格的医生)、be well qualified for the post(完全胜任这一职位);名词qualification n.(资格;学历;证书;限定条件)→ academic qualifications(学历)。辨析:qualify(通过考核或训练获得正式资格)vs be entitled to(依权利有权享有)vs be eligible for(符合规定条件,多用于申请)vs deserve(凭表现应得)。
【词根联想】 quali-(拉丁语qualis"什么样的,quality品质")+ -fy(动词后缀"使…")→ 使具备应有的品质→ 使合格;取得资格。联想:-fy"使…"→ simplify(简化)、classify(分类)、identify(识别)、purify(净化)、qualify(使合格);同根quality(品质)、qualitative(定性的)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:qualify vt. 限定;使有保留。熟义"取得资格"之外,qualify在正式文体中表示对陈述加以限定或修正,如I should qualify that statement(我得对那句话作些限定);语法中的qualifier即"修饰语"。此义在议论文严谨表述中很有价值。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"After two years of evening classes, my grandmother qualified for the second level of the English course."(上了两年夜校之后,我奶奶取得了英语课程第二级的入学资格。)(经典原句·qualify 取得资格)
【搭配词块】 qualify for 有资格获得 / qualify as 取得…资格 / qualified adj. 合格的 / qualification n. 资格证书
12. prospect /ˈprɒspekt/ n. 前景;可能性;展望;(复数)前途;成功的机会 vi. 勘探
【核心考点】 prospect是升学就业与人生规划类语篇的高频名词。the prospect of (doing) sth.(…的前景/可能性,注意of后接名词或动名词),如the prospect of finding a job(找到工作的可能性);job/career prospects(就业前景/职业前途,此义常用复数)、future prospects(未来前途)、have good prospects(前途光明)、in prospect(在望;预期中)。形容词prospective adj.(预期的;未来的;可能的)→ a prospective student/employer(未来的学生/雇主);对比prosperous adj.(繁荣的),二者形近义远,是高考易混词。辨析:prospect(对未来情形的预期,可好可坏)vs future(泛指未来)vs expectation(心理上的期待)vs outlook(对形势的展望,如the economic outlook)。写作时"就业前景严峻"可写grim job prospects。
【词根联想】 pro-(向前,forward)+ spect(拉丁语specere"看,look")→ 向前看到的景象→ 前景;展望。联想:spect/spic"看"→ inspect(检查→往里看)、respect(尊敬→回头看)、suspect(怀疑→从下往上看)、spectator(观众)、perspective(视角)、prospect(前景)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:prospect vi. 勘探;勘察(矿藏)。熟义名词"前景"之外,prospect作动词表示在某地寻找矿藏,如prospect for gold(淘金;勘探金矿);由此产生的prospector即"勘探者;淘金者"。此义在西部开发类历史语篇中常见。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"The prospect of reading a whole English newspaper by herself kept the old woman studying every night."(能够独自读完一整份英文报纸的前景,让这位老太太每晚都坚持学习。)(经典原句·prospect 前景)
【搭配词块】 the prospect of …的前景 / job prospects 就业前景 / prospective adj. 未来的 / in prospect 在望

13. assumption — 提示词assume(动词)需转名词作主语,其后that从句为同位语从句。
14. resolution — 提示词resolve(动词)需转名词,make a resolution意为下定决心。
15. registered — 提示词register需转过去分词作定语,表示"已注册的"学生。

Part 7 关联阅读
When Mr Harold Bennett turned seventy, his daughter gave him a laptop and a joke: "Now you can finally answer my emails." He laughed, but the gift quietly changed his life. Three weeks later he resolved to do something he had wanted to do since he left school at fifteen — study astronomy. His objective was not a university degree. For fifty years he had driven a city bus at night, and the stars above the empty streets had remained a beautiful mystery to him. He simply wanted to understand the night sky above his small garden instead of merely admiring it.
Getting started proved harder than he had expected. He registered for an online course run by a city university, and subscribed to a monthly science magazine that his grandson had recommended. The first lessons were painful. His comprehension of the recorded lectures was slow, and the concrete facts — distances, dates and the names of stars — stayed in his memory far more easily than the abstract ideas behind them. Twice he closed the laptop and told himself that the whole plan had been foolish.
Two of his oldest friends criticized the idea openly. "At our age," one of them said over tea, "the brain simply stops." Harold found that this common assumption annoyed him far more than the difficult lessons did, so he refused to cease studying. He watched every lecture twice, wrote his questions in a cheap notebook and posted them on the course forum late at night. To his surprise, the younger students answered him kindly, and one tutor began sending him extra reading every Friday.
Eighteen months later Harold qualified for the university's certificate in basic astronomy, the oldest student in his year. He does not pretend that the paper itself matters very much. What matters, he says, is the prospect that has opened in front of him: a second-hand telescope, a seat in the local astronomy club and, next winter, a short talk for the children at his grandson's school. Learning did not make him young again; it simply gave him somewhere new to go.
1. Why did Mr Bennett decide to study astronomy?
A. To make full use of the laptop his daughter had bought him.
B. To finish a university degree that he had given up long ago.
C. To truly understand the night sky rather than just enjoy it.
D. To prove to his two oldest friends that they were quite wrong.
2. What made the early lessons so difficult for Harold?
A. The recorded lectures were spoken far too fast for him.
B. The abstract ideas were much harder than the plain facts.
C. His grandson had recommended the wrong science magazine.
D. His new laptop broke down twice in the first three weeks.
3. How did Harold react to his friends' remark about age?
A. He worked even harder instead of giving up his studies.
B. He argued with them until they accepted his own opinion.
C. He asked his tutor to explain why the brain slows down.
D. He stopped seeing them and turned to younger students.
4. What does the certificate mean to Harold?
A. It proves that he is cleverer than most young students.
B. It has made him feel physically younger than before.
C. It is a fair reward for eighteen months of hard work.
D. It matters less than the new life that it opens up.
【参考答案与高考标准解析】
答案:1.C 2.B 3.A 4.D
第1题(细节理解题·高考核心):首段末尾两句是解题关键,作者先用His objective was not a university degree排除"学历"这一动机,紧接着用He simply wanted to understand the night sky above his small garden instead of merely admiring it正面点明其真实目的——不只是欣赏夜空,而是真正读懂夜空,选项C与之完全对应。A项笔记本电脑只是女儿送的礼物与玩笑,并非学习目的;B项文中明确说他要的不是学位;D项两位老友的质疑发生在第三段,晚于他下定决心,属时间错位。
第2题(细节理解题·高考高频):第二段用comprehension、concrete、abstract三个目标词完整交代了学习之难:His comprehension of the recorded lectures was slow, and the concrete facts...stayed in his memory far more easily than the abstract ideas behind them,即距离、日期、星名这类具体事实好记,而其背后的抽象概念难记,故选B。A项讲课语速文中从未提及;C项杂志是孙子推荐的,文中并无"推荐错了"之意;D项文中说他两次合上电脑,是心灰意冷而非电脑损坏,属偷换概念。
第3题(推理判断题·高考核心):第三段先引出老友的断言"At our age the brain simply stops",随后写Harold found that this common assumption annoyed him far more than the difficult lessons did, so he refused to cease studying,并具体描述他把每节课看两遍、深夜在论坛提问,可见他的反应是加倍努力而非放弃,A项概括准确。B项文中并无争辩情节;C项他向导师请教的是天文学内容而非大脑衰退;D项他与年轻同学互动是学习结果,并非与老友绝交。
第4题(推理判断题·高考压轴):末段以qualified与prospect两个目标词收束,作者写He does not pretend that the paper itself matters very much,并用What matters, he says, is the prospect that has opened in front of him引出望远镜、天文俱乐部与给孩子们做讲座这三件新事,说明证书本身远不如它开启的新生活重要,故选D。A项文中从未与年轻学生比聪明;B项末句明确否认Learning did not make him young again;C项把证书当作辛苦的回报,恰与He does not pretend...matters very much相悖。

My grandmother is sixty-eight years old. Last autumn she resolved to go back to school. Her objective was simple: she wanted to read English news by herself. In September she registered for an evening class at the community college, and she also subscribed to a small English magazine. On the first day she sat in the front row with a brand-new notebook in her hands.
At first her comprehension was poor. Concrete words such as bus, rain and market were easy, but abstract ones such as freedom and value made her frown. A few neighbours criticized her plan, and their assumption was that learning belongs only to the young. Grandma never ceased asking questions. In June she qualified for the second level, and now the prospect of reading a whole newspaper keeps her eyes bright.

Part 3 词根拆解 · 联想记忆 · 高考考点
1. resolve /rɪˈzɒlv/ vt. 解决;决定 vi. 下定决心 n. 决心;决意
【核心考点】 resolve是"终身学习""克服困难"类语篇的核心动词,一词两义必须同时掌握。义项一"解决":resolve a conflict/problem/dispute(解决冲突/问题/争端),常与settle互换,语体更正式。义项二"决心":resolve to do sth.(决心做某事,后接不定式,不接doing)、resolve that…(决意…)。作名词表"决心",如with great resolve(怀着极大的决心)。同源词resolution n.(决心;决议;分辨率)→ make a New Year's resolution(立新年决心);resolute adj.(坚决的);resolved adj.(下定决心的)→ be resolved to do sth.。辨析:resolve(正式,强调经过思考后作出决断或化解难题)vs decide(最通用的"决定")vs determine(下决心,常用be determined to do)vs solve(仅指解答难题,不表"决心")。
【词根联想】 re-(重新,back)+ solvere(拉丁语"松开,解开")→ 把纠缠在一起的结重新解开→ 解决;引申为心中疑虑解开→ 下定决心。联想:solv/solu"松开"→ solve(解决)、solution(解决办法)、dissolve(溶解→彻底松开)、absolute(绝对的→不受束缚的)、resolve(解决;决心)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:resolve n. 决心;决意。熟义作动词"解决"之外,resolve作名词表示坚定的决心,如strengthen one's resolve(坚定决心)、with quiet resolve(带着沉静的决心)。此义在人物励志类读后续写与议论文中很实用,可替换determination。
【真题原句】
(2022·全国甲卷·阅读D·resolving动名词表"解决")"We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving (解决)."(我们似乎拿不定主意,究竟是要一座现代的城市还是一座传统的城市。这是一种我们并未越来越擅长化解的矛盾。)(真题原句·resolve 解决)
【搭配词块】 resolve to do sth. 决心做某事 / resolve a conflict 化解矛盾 / resolution n. 决心 / be resolved to do 决意做
2. objective /əbˈdʒektɪv/ n. 目标;目的 adj. 客观的;如实的;实际存在的
【核心考点】 objective是学习规划与议论文写作的双高频词,名词、形容词两种词性都要会用。作名词"目标":set/achieve/meet an objective(设定/实现目标)、the main objective of the course(这门课程的主要目标)、learning objectives(学习目标)。作形容词"客观的":an objective judgement/view(客观的判断/看法)、be objective about sth.(对某事持客观态度);反义词subjective adj.(主观的);副词objectively adv.(客观地)→ objectively speaking(客观地说,写作高级插入语);名词objectivity n.(客观性)。辨析:objective(正式书面,指经过筹划、可衡量的具体目标)vs goal(长远的总体目标)vs aim(意图,可大可小)vs purpose(做某事的意图与理由)vs target(有明确数量指标的靶标)。
【词根联想】 ob-(朝向,against)+ ject(拉丁语jacere"投掷,throw")+ -ive→ 被投掷到眼前的东西→ 客观存在的对象→ 目标;客观的。联想:ject"投"→ project(投射;项目)、reject(拒绝→投回去)、inject(注射→投进去)、eject(弹出)、object(物体;反对)、objective(目标;客观的)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:objective adj. 客观的;不带个人感情的。熟义名词"目标"之外,objective作形容词是阅读理解态度题与写作的高频词,如remain objective(保持客观)、objective evidence(客观证据)。命题人常用objective与subjective构成一对干扰选项,务必分清。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"Her only objective in taking the night class was to read an English newspaper by herself."(她上夜校的唯一目标,就是能够自己读懂一份英文报纸。)(经典原句·objective 目标)
【搭配词块】 achieve an objective 实现目标 / be objective about 客观看待 / objectively speaking 客观地说 / subjective adj. 主观的
3. register /ˈredʒɪstə(r)/ v. 登记;注册;报名;(仪表)显示;(情感)流露 n. 登记簿;语域
【核心考点】 register是应用文(课程广告、活动通知、报名须知)中出现率极高的动词,高考A篇几乎必考。常用搭配register for a course/an exam/a camp(报名课程/考试/夏令营)、register with a doctor/an agency(在诊所/机构登记)、register a birth/a complaint(登记出生/提出投诉)。名词registration n.(注册;报名)→ cancel your registration(取消报名)、registration fee(报名费);registered adj.(已注册的;挂号的)→ a registered letter(挂号信);registry n.(登记处)。辨析:register(正式登记入册,强调进入官方名单)vs sign up(口语化的"报名参加")vs enrol/enroll(入学、入会注册,多用于学校或组织)vs apply(申请,结果未定)。
【词根联想】 re-(回,back)+ gest(拉丁语gerere"携带,carry")→ 被带回来记入册中的东西→ 登记簿→ 登记;注册。联想:gest/ger"带"→ suggest(建议→带到下面)、digest(消化;文摘)、gesture(手势)、register(登记);对比record(记录)同为"留痕"词族。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:register v. (面部)流露;(仪表)显示出。熟义"注册"之外,register可表示情绪在脸上显现或仪器读数显示,如His face registered surprise(他脸上露出惊讶的神色)、The thermometer registered 40℃(温度计显示40摄氏度)。此义在读后续写神态描写中极为出彩。
【真题原句】
(2023年1月·浙江卷·阅读A·registration名词表"报名")"The last day to cancel registration and receive a full refund (退款) is June 15."(取消报名并获得全额退款的最后一天是6月15日。)(真题原句·register 报名;注册)
【搭配词块】 register for a course 报名课程 / cancel registration 取消报名 / register with 在…登记 / registered adj. 已注册的
4. subscribe /səbˈskraɪb/ vi. 订阅;订购;定期捐款 vt. 签署;签名
【核心考点】 subscribe是自主学习与媒体话题的高频动词,考点集中在固定介词to上。subscribe to a magazine/a newspaper/a channel(订阅杂志/报纸/频道)——注意subscribe为不及物动词,不能说subscribe a magazine,这是高考经典易错点。引申义subscribe to a view/an idea/a theory(赞同某观点/看法/理论),是议论文中表态度的高级表达,可替换agree with。另有subscribe to a charity(定期向慈善机构捐款)。名词subscription n.(订阅;订阅费;会员费)→ take out a subscription to(订阅…);subscriber n.(订阅者;用户)。辨析:subscribe to(长期定期订阅或赞同)vs order(一次性订购)vs agree with(普通的"同意")vs support(支持,语体最中性)。
【词根联想】 sub-(在下面,under)+ scribe(拉丁语scribere"写,write")→ 在文件下方签名→ 签名认购→ 订阅;赞同。联想:scrib/script"写"→ describe(描述)、prescribe(开处方→事先写下)、manuscript(手稿)、transcript(成绩单;文字稿)、subscribe(订阅)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:subscribe to sth. 赞同;同意(某观点)。熟义"订阅"之外,subscribe to常用于表达对观点的认可,如I don't subscribe to that theory(我不赞同那种理论)。此义在观点类阅读与议论文写作中频繁出现,是替换agree with的高分表达。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"After he retired, Mr Chen subscribed to three history journals and read them from cover to cover."(退休以后,陈先生订阅了三份历史期刊,并且每一期都从头读到尾。)(经典原句·subscribe 订阅)
【搭配词块】 subscribe to a magazine 订阅杂志 / subscribe to a view 赞同观点 / subscription n. 订阅费 / subscriber n. 订阅者
5. comprehension /ˌkɒmprɪˈhenʃn/ n. 理解;理解力;领悟;理解力练习(题)
【核心考点】 comprehension是"学习与认知"主题的核心名词,2024年新课标Ⅰ卷阅读C篇开篇即用此词设问。常用搭配reading/listening comprehension(阅读/听力理解)、beyond one's comprehension(某人无法理解的)、have a good comprehension of(对…有很好的理解)、a comprehension test(理解力测试)。动词comprehend v.(理解;领会;包含);形容词comprehensive adj.(综合的;全面的)→ a comprehensive survey(全面调查);comprehensible adj.(可理解的)。特别注意区分comprehensive(全面的)与comprehensible(能被理解的),这是高考形近词辨析的常客。辨析:comprehension(正式,指对复杂内容的整体理解能力)vs understanding(最通用,可指理解也可指谅解)vs grasp(对要点的把握)vs insight(洞察力,更深一层)。
【词根联想】 com-(一起,together)+ prehendere(拉丁语"抓住,seize")+ -sion(名词后缀)→ 把各部分意思一把抓住→ 理解。联想:prehend/pris"抓"→ comprehend(理解)、apprehend(逮捕;理解)、prison(监狱→抓人之地)、surprise(惊讶→突然抓住)、comprehension(理解力)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:comprehension n. (中小学的)阅读理解练习题。熟义"理解力"之外,英式英语中comprehension可作可数名词,指课堂上的一份理解练习,如We had a comprehension in today's English lesson(今天英语课上我们做了一篇阅读理解)。
【真题原句】
(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷·阅读C·comprehension作主语设问)"Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text on screen or on paper?"(无论一个人是在屏幕上还是在纸上读同一篇文章,其理解程度都一样吗?)(真题原句·comprehension 理解;理解力)
【搭配词块】 reading comprehension 阅读理解 / beyond one's comprehension 无法理解 / comprehend v. 理解 / comprehensive adj. 全面的
6. concrete /ˈkɒŋkriːt/ adj. 具体的;实在的;混凝土制的 n. 混凝土 vt. 用混凝土浇筑
【核心考点】 concrete在议论文与说明文中是"抽象—具体"这一对概念的关键词。concrete evidence/proof(确凿的证据)、a concrete example(一个具体的例子)、concrete suggestions/proposals(具体的建议/方案)、in concrete terms(具体地说)。作名词指"混凝土",如a concrete wall/floor(混凝土墙/地面)。副词concretely adv.(具体地);名词concreteness n.(具体性)。写作要点:议论文中"举一个具体的例子"写作give a concrete example远优于give an example;提出"切实可行的建议"写作put forward concrete measures。辨析:concrete(可看得见摸得着、明确无误的)vs specific(具体明确的,强调特指而非笼统)vs practical(实用的,强调可操作)vs definite(确定的,强调无疑问);反义词为abstract(抽象的)。
【词根联想】 con-(一起,together)+ crescere(拉丁语"生长,grow")→ 各种材料共同凝结生长在一起→ 凝结成形的实体→ 具体的;混凝土。联想:cre/cresc"生长"→ create(创造)、increase(增加)、crescent(新月→渐长的月亮)、concrete(凝成一体的→具体的)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:concrete n. 混凝土。熟义形容词"具体的"之外,concrete作不可数名词指建筑材料混凝土,如be set in concrete(用混凝土浇筑固定,引申为"一成不变、无法更改")。这一比喻用法在议论文中可表示"墨守成规"。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"Instead of a long explanation, the teacher gave the class a concrete example from daily life."(老师没有作长篇解释,而是给全班举了一个来自日常生活的具体例子。)(经典原句·concrete 具体的)
【搭配词块】 a concrete example 具体例子 / concrete evidence 确凿证据 / in concrete terms 具体地说 / concrete suggestions 切实建议
7. abstract /ˈæbstrækt/ (adj./n.) /æbˈstrækt/ (v.) adj. 抽象的;抽象派的 n. 摘要;抽象概念 vt. 提取;做摘要
【核心考点】 abstract是认知与艺术类语篇的高频词,注意名词/形容词重音在前、动词重音在后。作形容词:abstract ideas/concepts/thinking(抽象的观念/概念/思维)、abstract art/painting(抽象艺术/绘画);作名词:write an abstract of the paper(写论文摘要)、in the abstract(抽象地;理论上)。名词abstraction n.(抽象;抽象概念;出神)→ mental abstraction(抽象思维,2024年新课标Ⅰ卷原词);副词abstractly adv.。写作要点:"由具体到抽象"写作move from the concrete to the abstract。辨析:abstract(脱离具体实例、只存在于观念中的)vs theoretical(理论上的,与实践相对)vs vague(模糊不清的,含贬义)vs general(笼统的,与particular相对);反义词为concrete(具体的)。
【词根联想】 abs-(离开,away)+ tract(拉丁语trahere"拉,draw")→ 把本质从具体事物中抽离出来→ 抽象的;提取。联想:tract"拉"→ attract(吸引→拉向自己)、extract(提取→拉出来)、contract(合同;收缩→拉紧)、distract(分心→拉走注意力)、abstract(抽象的)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:abstract n. 摘要;概要。熟义形容词"抽象的"之外,abstract作名词专指学术论文前的内容摘要,如the abstract of a research paper(研究论文摘要)。学术阅读与图表说明类语篇中常见此义。
【真题原句】
(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷·阅读C·abstraction名词表"抽象思维")"The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks — like identifying the main idea in a reading passage — to ones that require mental abstraction — such as drawing inferences from a text."(当实验者从设置识别主旨这类简单任务,转向需要抽象思维的任务(例如从文本中作出推断)时,纸质阅读的优势尤为凸显。)(真题原句·abstract 抽象的)
【搭配词块】 abstract ideas 抽象概念 / in the abstract 抽象地 / abstraction n. 抽象思维 / abstract art 抽象艺术
8. criticize /ˈkrɪtɪsaɪz/ vt./vi. 批评;指责;批判;评论
【核心考点】 criticize是人物与观点类语篇的高频动词,考点在介词搭配与派生词。criticize sb. for (doing) sth.(因某事批评某人,介词固定用for)、be widely criticized(受到广泛批评)、criticize sth. as…(批评某事为…)。名词criticism n.(批评;评论)→ come in for criticism(受到批评)、constructive criticism(建设性批评);critic n.(批评家;评论家)→ a film critic(影评人);critical adj.(批判的;挑剔的;关键的;危急的)→ be critical of(对…持批评态度)、a critical moment(关键时刻);critically adv.。辨析:criticize(指出缺点,多含负面评价)vs blame(把过错归咎于某人,blame sb. for sth.)vs scold(责骂,多用于长辈对晚辈)vs comment on(客观评论,中性)。注意critical的"关键的"与"批评的"两义都是高考考点。
【词根联想】 希腊语krites"裁判者"(源自krinein"分辨;判断")+ -ize(动词后缀)→ 像裁判一样作出判断→ 批评;评论。联想:crit/cris"判断;分开"→ critic(批评家)、critical(关键的;批判的)、criterion(标准)、crisis(危机→需作判断的关口)、criticize(批评)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:criticize v. 评论;评价(中性义)。熟义"批评指责"之外,criticize在学术语境中可指客观地分析评论作品,如criticize a poem(评论一首诗)。相应地,critic既可指"挑剔的人",也可指专业的"评论家"。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"A few neighbours criticized the old woman for going back to school at the age of sixty-eight."(几位邻居批评这位老太太六十八岁还要重返校园。)(经典原句·criticize 批评)
【搭配词块】 criticize sb. for 因…批评某人 / criticism n. 批评 / be critical of 对…持批评态度 / critic n. 评论家
9. assumption /əˈsʌmpʃn/ n. 假设;假定;设想;(责任、权力的)承担
【核心考点】 assumption是议论文与推理判断题的核心名词。on the assumption that…(假定…,that引导同位语从句,从句成分完整)、make an assumption(作出假设)、challenge/question an assumption(质疑某种设想)、a false/common assumption(错误的/常见的设想)。动词assume v.(假定;认为;承担;呈现)→ assume that…(想当然地认为…)、assume responsibility(承担责任);assuming that…(假如…,用作连词)。写作要点:驳斥错误观念时可写It is a common assumption that…, but the fact is…(人们普遍设想…,但事实是…),是议论文让步反驳的黄金句式。辨析:assumption(未经证实即当作前提的设想)vs hypothesis(有待科学检验的假说)vs guess(无根据的猜测)vs belief(个人坚信的看法)。
【词根联想】 as-(ad-变体,朝向)+ sumere(拉丁语"拿取,take")+ -tion→ 事先把某个前提拿过来当真→ 假定;设想。联想:sum/sumpt"拿"→ assume(假定;承担)、consume(消耗→全部拿走)、resume(恢复→重新拿起)、presume(推测→事先拿来)、assumption(假设)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:assumption n. (责任、职务、权力的)承担;就任。熟义"假设"之外,assumption在正式文体中指对职责或权力的接管,如the assumption of office(就职)、the assumption of responsibility(责任的承担)。对应动词assume也有"承担"之义。
【真题原句】
(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷·阅读C·assume动词表"想当然认为")"However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn't assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words."(然而,在需要专注与反思才能实现学习效果最大化的场合,教育者不应想当然地认为所有媒介都一样,哪怕它们承载的文字完全相同。)(真题原句·assumption 假设;设想)
【搭配词块】 on the assumption that 假定… / make an assumption 作出假设 / assume v. 假定;承担 / a false assumption 错误设想
10. cease /siːs/ vt./vi. 停止;终止;结束 n. 停止(用于without cease)
【核心考点】 cease是书面语中替换stop的高级动词,语体正式。用法要点:cease to do sth. 与 cease doing sth. 都可以,含义基本相同(这一点与stop不同——stop to do是"停下来去做",stop doing才是"停止做"),高考常在此设置陷阱。常用搭配cease fire(停火)、cease operations/production(停止运营/生产)、never cease to amaze sb.(总是让某人惊叹不已,写作亮点句)、without cease(不停地)。形容词ceaseless adj.(不停的;持续的)→ ceaseless efforts(不懈的努力);副词ceaselessly adv.。辨析:cease(正式,指活动或状态逐渐终止)vs stop(最通用,可指突然停止)vs quit(放弃某种习惯或工作,口语)vs halt((使)暂停,多用于行进中的事物)vs pause(短暂停顿后还会继续)。
【词根联想】 拉丁语cessare"停下来;懈怠"(cedere"走;让步"的反复态)→ 不再往前走→ 停止。联想:ced/cess"走"→ proceed(前进)、exceed(超过→走过头)、succeed(成功→接着走)、recession(衰退→往后走)、cease(停止→不走了)。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"Grandma never ceased asking questions, even when the other students had already left the classroom."(奶奶从未停止提问,哪怕别的学生早已离开了教室。)(经典原句·cease 停止)
【搭配词块】 cease to do / cease doing 停止做 / never cease to amaze 总令人惊叹 / ceaseless adj. 不停的 / without cease 不停地
11. qualify /ˈkwɒlɪfaɪ/ vi. 取得资格;具备条件 vt. 使合格;使具备资格;限定
【核心考点】 qualify是升学就业与终身学习话题的核心动词,介词搭配是高考重点。qualify for sth.(有资格获得某物;具备…的条件),如qualify for the final(取得决赛资格)、qualify for a discount(符合打折条件);qualify as sth.(取得…的资格;称得上是),如qualify as a teacher/nurse(取得教师/护士资格);qualify sb. to do sth.(使某人有资格做某事)。形容词qualified adj.(合格的;有资格的;有保留的)→ a qualified doctor(合格的医生)、be well qualified for the post(完全胜任这一职位);名词qualification n.(资格;学历;证书;限定条件)→ academic qualifications(学历)。辨析:qualify(通过考核或训练获得正式资格)vs be entitled to(依权利有权享有)vs be eligible for(符合规定条件,多用于申请)vs deserve(凭表现应得)。
【词根联想】 quali-(拉丁语qualis"什么样的,quality品质")+ -fy(动词后缀"使…")→ 使具备应有的品质→ 使合格;取得资格。联想:-fy"使…"→ simplify(简化)、classify(分类)、identify(识别)、purify(净化)、qualify(使合格);同根quality(品质)、qualitative(定性的)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:qualify vt. 限定;使有保留。熟义"取得资格"之外,qualify在正式文体中表示对陈述加以限定或修正,如I should qualify that statement(我得对那句话作些限定);语法中的qualifier即"修饰语"。此义在议论文严谨表述中很有价值。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"After two years of evening classes, my grandmother qualified for the second level of the English course."(上了两年夜校之后,我奶奶取得了英语课程第二级的入学资格。)(经典原句·qualify 取得资格)
【搭配词块】 qualify for 有资格获得 / qualify as 取得…资格 / qualified adj. 合格的 / qualification n. 资格证书
12. prospect /ˈprɒspekt/ n. 前景;可能性;展望;(复数)前途;成功的机会 vi. 勘探
【核心考点】 prospect是升学就业与人生规划类语篇的高频名词。the prospect of (doing) sth.(…的前景/可能性,注意of后接名词或动名词),如the prospect of finding a job(找到工作的可能性);job/career prospects(就业前景/职业前途,此义常用复数)、future prospects(未来前途)、have good prospects(前途光明)、in prospect(在望;预期中)。形容词prospective adj.(预期的;未来的;可能的)→ a prospective student/employer(未来的学生/雇主);对比prosperous adj.(繁荣的),二者形近义远,是高考易混词。辨析:prospect(对未来情形的预期,可好可坏)vs future(泛指未来)vs expectation(心理上的期待)vs outlook(对形势的展望,如the economic outlook)。写作时"就业前景严峻"可写grim job prospects。
【词根联想】 pro-(向前,forward)+ spect(拉丁语specere"看,look")→ 向前看到的景象→ 前景;展望。联想:spect/spic"看"→ inspect(检查→往里看)、respect(尊敬→回头看)、suspect(怀疑→从下往上看)、spectator(观众)、perspective(视角)、prospect(前景)。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:prospect vi. 勘探;勘察(矿藏)。熟义名词"前景"之外,prospect作动词表示在某地寻找矿藏,如prospect for gold(淘金;勘探金矿);由此产生的prospector即"勘探者;淘金者"。此义在西部开发类历史语篇中常见。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"The prospect of reading a whole English newspaper by herself kept the old woman studying every night."(能够独自读完一整份英文报纸的前景,让这位老太太每晚都坚持学习。)(经典原句·prospect 前景)
【搭配词块】 the prospect of …的前景 / job prospects 就业前景 / prospective adj. 未来的 / in prospect 在望

Part 7 关联阅读
When Mr Harold Bennett turned seventy, his daughter gave him a laptop and a joke: "Now you can finally answer my emails." He laughed, but the gift quietly changed his life. Three weeks later he resolved to do something he had wanted to do since he left school at fifteen — study astronomy. His objective was not a university degree. For fifty years he had driven a city bus at night, and the stars above the empty streets had remained a beautiful mystery to him. He simply wanted to understand the night sky above his small garden instead of merely admiring it.
Getting started proved harder than he had expected. He registered for an online course run by a city university, and subscribed to a monthly science magazine that his grandson had recommended. The first lessons were painful. His comprehension of the recorded lectures was slow, and the concrete facts — distances, dates and the names of stars — stayed in his memory far more easily than the abstract ideas behind them. Twice he closed the laptop and told himself that the whole plan had been foolish.
Two of his oldest friends criticized the idea openly. "At our age," one of them said over tea, "the brain simply stops." Harold found that this common assumption annoyed him far more than the difficult lessons did, so he refused to cease studying. He watched every lecture twice, wrote his questions in a cheap notebook and posted them on the course forum late at night. To his surprise, the younger students answered him kindly, and one tutor began sending him extra reading every Friday.
Eighteen months later Harold qualified for the university's certificate in basic astronomy, the oldest student in his year. He does not pretend that the paper itself matters very much. What matters, he says, is the prospect that has opened in front of him: a second-hand telescope, a seat in the local astronomy club and, next winter, a short talk for the children at his grandson's school. Learning did not make him young again; it simply gave him somewhere new to go.
1. Why did Mr Bennett decide to study astronomy?
A. To make full use of the laptop his daughter had bought him.
B. To finish a university degree that he had given up long ago.
C. To truly understand the night sky rather than just enjoy it.
D. To prove to his two oldest friends that they were quite wrong.
2. What made the early lessons so difficult for Harold?
A. The recorded lectures were spoken far too fast for him.
B. The abstract ideas were much harder than the plain facts.
C. His grandson had recommended the wrong science magazine.
D. His new laptop broke down twice in the first three weeks.
3. How did Harold react to his friends' remark about age?
A. He worked even harder instead of giving up his studies.
B. He argued with them until they accepted his own opinion.
C. He asked his tutor to explain why the brain slows down.
D. He stopped seeing them and turned to younger students.
4. What does the certificate mean to Harold?
A. It proves that he is cleverer than most young students.
B. It has made him feel physically younger than before.
C. It is a fair reward for eighteen months of hard work.
D. It matters less than the new life that it opens up.
