Clue:当“panorama”作为单独一个词出现时，你可能猜不出它的意思,不过当你读到后面的词“sea,bay,city”和“countryside”时，通过推理就会猜出它的意思与“视野”有关。因此从所给的四个选项中，可以确定D为正确选项。ReadingSkillFocusSample2ElvisPresleywasafraidofbeingassassinated,andheworeabullet-proofvest,buthecouldn’tstayawayfromthecrowdswholovedhim.A.laughedatB.killedC.takenawayD.beatenClue:从后面的句子可以分析出ElvisPresley所担心的是“bekilled”，否则的话，他不会穿上防弹背心(bullet-proofvest)。因此B为正确选项。ReadingSkillFocusSample3Somestudentstriedtohelp,butsometriedtohinderhim.Clue:“but”这个线索词表明“hinder”与“help”的词义形成对比，由此可以猜出“hinder”这个词含有“阻止，阻挠”的意思。ReadingSkillFocusB．Let’sTry

Trytofigureoutthemeaningoftheunderlinedwordsinthefollowingsentencesandexplaintheclues.1.Ican’tbelieveit!Rightinthemiddleofourconversation,Peterturnedaroundabruptlyandwalkedoutoftheroom!A.formallyB.slowlyC.suddenlyD.quietly

首先，第一句话表明说话人对于后面发生的事情感到非常惊讶。从第二句话中，我们明白了“当我们正在谈话时，彼得很唐突地（abruptly）转身离开了房间”，这就是说话人为什么感到吃惊的原因。选项中最接近这个意思的应该是C项。

Clue:C()

Aftertheharvest,wehadanabundantamountofapples.Wemadeapplepie,applesauce,andapplejuicebecausewehadsomanyapples!A.smallB.notenoughC.limitedD.plentifulD()通过后面句子中的解释“becausewehadsomanyapples”，推测出“苹果大丰收”，因此可以猜出“abundant”的意思是“丰富的，大量的”，正确答案是D项。Clue:ReadingSkillFocusReadingSkillFocus

WhenSarawassick,hervoicewasalmostinaudible.Wecouldn’thearwhatshewastryingtosayclearly.A.veryloudB.verysoftC.verystrangeD.veryshyB()通过前面句子设定的背景（whenSarawassick），再加上后面句子的描述（Wecouldn’thearwhatshewastryingtosay），很显然，Sara说话的声音很轻，B项为正确答案。Clue:ReadingSkillFocus4.Thereisanoptimumwaytoapproacheachkindofexamquestion.Foramultiple-choiceitem,forexample,firstremoveanyclearlywronganswers.Foranessayquestion,writedownanoutlinefirst.A.inconvenientB.bestC.annoyingD.easyB()后两句对考试答题的方法进行了讲解，根据常识可以判断，这两种方法应该是比较好的。因此，可以排除A，C，D三个选项。optimum的意思是“最优的，最佳的”。Clue:ReadingSkillFocus

Thedoctorsaidthattherewasonlyaslimhopeofsurvivalforthepeopleintheaircrash.A.numerousB.considerableC.moderateD.verylittleD()根据常识，在空难（aircrash）中生还的可能性一般很小，所以，“医生”表达的意思应该是“乘客幸存的希望渺茫（onlyaslimhopeofsurvival）”Clue:ReadingSkillFocus

Blackclouds,thunderandlightningshowthatastormisimminent.A.transientB.abouttohappenC.comingtoanendD.tolastlongB()根据常识，在空难（aircrash）中生还的可能性一般很小，所以，“医生”表达的意思应该是“乘客幸存的希望渺茫（onlyaslimhopeofsurvival）”Clue:ReadingSkillFocus

Theysuspendedtheconstructionofthebridgeduringthestrike.A.opposedB.supportedC.continuedD.delayed

D()在该句中，非常重要的线索就是“strike”这个词。“在工人罢工期间，他们只能推迟（suspend）桥梁的建造。”所以，正确答案是选项D。Clue:ReadingSkillFocus

Inthepasttheworldseemedtoruninanorderlyway.Nowhowever,everythingseemstobeinastateofturmoil.A.lackoforderB.harmonyC.peaceD.simplicityA()此句中，以信号词however为线索，可以看出作者把现在的事情与过去相比。过去是inanorderlyway“秩序井然”，而现在是“inastateofturmoil”，即没有秩序，因此正确答案是选项A。Clue:ReadingSkillFocus

Duringofficehourhelookedverytenseandanxious,buthewasveryrelaxedonweekend.A.unhappyB.nervousC.exhaustedD.sickB()“but”这个线索词表明“tense”与“relaxed”的词义形成对比，由此可以猜出“tense”这个词含有“紧张”的意思。Clue:ReadingSkillFocus

Unlikethewell-manneredJohn,Jimwasratheruncouth.A.rudeB.politeC.untidyD.informalA()“unlike”这个线索词表明在原句中John和Jim在行为举止方面是截然相反的，John彬彬有礼（well-mannered），由此可以推测出uncouth的意思是“粗鲁的”。Clue:ComprehensiveReadingTextAIsYourEnglishTooEnglish?EnglishmaybethelanguageofbusinessbutasAlisonThomasreports,it’snotonlynon-nativespeakerswhoneedtolearnhowtouseit.AskaSwedish“TalarduSvenska?”andhemaywellreply“Yes.Bernationalinternationala.国际的，世界的effectivelyeffectivelyad.有效地，有力地executiveexecutiven.业务主管a.执行的英语是国际商务语言，但是正如艾莉森·托马斯报道的，不仅仅是非英语国家的人需要学习如何有效地使用英语。如果问一位瑞典爱立信公司的管理人员：“你讲瑞典语吗？”他的回答可能是：“讲，但只在家里。

Clue:ComprehensiveReadingover-complicate(Para.4,Line3):A.tomakesomethingeasyB.tomakesomethingshortandclearC.tomakesomethingtoodifficulttodealwithC______这是根据反义线索而猜测的词义。前一句的建议是simplify，紧接着本句建议don’tover-complicate，很明显，over-complicate应该与simplify意思相反，因此是使某事物变得过分复杂难以应对的意思。

Clue:3.understate(Para.5,Line4):A.toemphasizeastatement,fact,orideaB.todescribesomethinginawaythatmakesitseemlessimportantthanitreallyisC.tosaysomethinginastrongwayB______整句话的意思是，英国人将重要的问题说成是“有可能有一个小问题”，因此可以推断，understate的意思是“有意往少了说，轻描淡写”。

Clue:ComprehensiveReadingseminar(Para.6,Line5):A.ClassB.eventC.promotionA______

trainingcourse“培训课程”包括的一定是“课”，因此可以推断正确选型是A。该词的词义是“研讨班课程，研讨会”。Clue:ComprehensiveReading5.improve(Para.6,Line7):A.tomakesomethingdifficultB.tomakesomethinglessimportantC.tomakesomethingbetterComprehensiveReadingC______improvedcommunication前面是increasedawareness“提高了的意识”，后面是betterunderstanding“更好的理解”，因此improve的意思一定也是“改善，变得更好”。
