strous, too quickly,sacrificing sleep only to gain和weak,fatigue, 我們是否可以看出作者的態(tài)度是反對sacrifice sleep的呢?既然如此,通過犧牲睡眠而獲得時間似乎也不是什么好事,因?yàn)樵谏眢w疲倦的狀況下做出的決策和行動往往會欠妥,從而對文明的發(fā)展不利,所以jeopardize our civilization肯定是對文明造成負(fù)面影響的。 one39。當(dāng)然,如果說Your driving licence has been ,你得當(dāng)心嘍!而D表示捐贈金錢、財(cái)產(chǎn)等,發(fā)善心做善事。對策②:通過構(gòu)詞法,觀察單詞的前綴、后綴及詞根等構(gòu)成進(jìn)行判斷。其實(shí)定睛一看并不是不可破解的。答案A. studies the nature of man似乎最合意。首先可推斷出xenophobia是一種情緒,這種情緒對asylumseekers(尋求政治避難的人)是不利的。A. partiality可聯(lián)想到partial一詞,指有偏袒,偏愛,顯然與原文語境不符。C似乎比較接近,對...有偏見,有歧視,而且discrimination后也往往跟介詞against。那么antipathy=dislike, aversion, 故答案為D。此處借代一般用語“影響”、“余波”、“后遺癥”。我們平時在閱讀外刊的過程中要注意積累一些形象生動的表達(dá),包括常用修辭手法的運(yùn)用實(shí)例,這樣考試時才能做到游刃有余。例一:2000年9月試題第23題23. The phrase take off (paragraph 4) means _________.(A) transfer to another vessel (B) cause to lose weight(C) begin to develop markedly (D) cause to leave the ground請看原文:Over here, in Britain, Computertowns have taken off in a big way, and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most successful when tied to a puter club.take off本義為(飛機(jī))起飛或物體離開地面,選項(xiàng)D即為take off的本義,但是把D帶到原文中解釋不通,可見,出題者并不是想考我們take off的本義,而是在文中的引申義。例二:2001年3月試題第11題11. The word wasteland () is used to describe ________.(A) western badlands(B) average television programs(C) TV film studios(D) theatrical plays請看原文:When the television is good, nothingnot the theatre, not the magazines, or newspapersnothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, or anything else to distract you and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland.
