词义推断题的解题技巧（上）(2)
又如：Last November the two groups started Dog Day Afternoon in the childrens department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half
又如：Last November the two groups started Dog Day Afternoon in the childrens department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a pawgraphed book at the last class.
A pawgraphed book is most probably ______.
A. a book used in Saturday classes B. a book written by the children
C. a prize for the children D. a gift from parents
文段叙述的是孩子们参加周六下午阅读训练班的事情。根据常识我们知道，在一个学习活动结束时，通常会对一些先进分子进行表彰或奖励。因此，我们可以作出判断，Those who attended three of the four classes received a pawgraphed book at the last class这句话的意思应该是：那些参加了四个学习班中三个班的学习的孩子们在参加最后一个班的时候可以得到某种奖励。A、B、D都不符合常识，所以只有C选项是正确答案。
3. 根据文段中出现的同义、近义或反义词(词组)的意思进行判断。
如：I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadnt the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.
The underlined phrase make out in the first paragraph means ______.
A. expect B. understand C. see clearly D. hear clearly
根据第四句话的意思，我们知道Even then实际上是指前文的I understood anything，因此这句话可以理解为Even when I understood anything, all (that) I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident。显然，make out是被用来取代前面的understood，以避免重复，它们应该是近义或同义词，所以，B选项可能是正确的。
又如：One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reverse, business, politics, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information.
Which of the following can be used in place of Quite the reverse?
A. Quite right. B. True enough. C. Most unlikely. D. Just the opposite.
根据quite the reverse这个短语前后两个句子中的perfect information与imperfect information这两个意思相反的词组，我们可以推断出quite the reverse这个短语应该是表示它前后两个句子的转折关系。只有D选项符合这种意思，因此，可以考虑它是正确答案。
4. 根据下文的举例或解释推测词义。如：
Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped(压;抽)down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.
The underlined words geothermal energy in the third paragraph mean ______.(责任编辑：www.360gaokao.com)
