第三讲 5个考点考查对词句意义的理解
1熟词在语境中的具体意思
解体技巧:
这类题考察教学大纲所规定的四级词汇。题干中要求理解的单词考生全都认识,但是词汇放在句中以后就有了在这个语境下的具体含义,甚至是活用的意义。解题关键在于联系上下文,不能仅从单词的字面意思来理解。
练习:
……As diners shirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most dinner don’t notice or care……
Q: The “fancier brands” refers to____
tap water from the Thames River.
B famous wines not sold in ordinary stores.
C PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani
D expensive bottled water with impressive names
答案:
选D。
第一句提到,卖leading brands瓶装水能赚取巨额利润;第二句提到了饭店里面的瓶装水价格高;第三句中又提到许多fancier bands不在商店销售,消费者较少见到。可以推知,fancier brands的价格昂贵,fancier与impressive同义,D正确。
