2、？” I asked myself. I didnt answer. In fact I dared not. The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear！” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed！” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy. The cl

3、ock struck one. I was quite desperate(绝望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minut

4、es later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep. The underlined word “wretched” in Paragraph 3 probably means _. A. very happy B. disappointed C. hopeful D. very unhappy【答案及解析】 D由前后文用词a huge pile, dared not, desperate，可知画线词表示作者当时的一种消极的感情。再在B、D之间判断，发现作者并非是期望之后的失望，而是受到学习重压的“不开心”。这类试题的考点包括对生词生义的推测、熟词

5、生义的推测、有隐含意义的句子的意思，以及对that/it/they/them等代词的确指对象的判断等。在高考广东卷每年高考题中有23道。 一、常见的提问方式有：(1)What does the underlined word “” refer to? (2)In theparagraph, the wordmeans (refers to) _.(3)According to the passage, probably means _. 二、解题技巧： 解答这类试题最重要的方法是通过理解含生词部分的上下文来推测其意思。注意以下小技巧：1. 通过表示接近或递进的and或or等来确定生词的义域，推

6、知它的大致意思。2. 通过生词后的定语、表语、同位语、逗号、括号、破折号等的解释说明来推测其意思。3. 代词所指代的内容多在这一句的前、后句中(特别是前句)，或者前几个句子中，找到指代的内容后把它放在那个代词的位置上，看一看这句话是否合理，与前后的内容是否一致，然后再判定它是否为正确答案。4. 考题中若是需要推测意思的是熟词，我们必须通过上下文得出其在特定场合下的特殊意思，那些常规含义的选项通常不会是要选择的正确答案。5. 根据转折对比关系推测。根据上下句之间表示转折或对比关系的连接性词语来推测词义。如表示转折的词有but, however, otherwise, though等；表示对比关系

7、的标志性词语有unlike, while, on the other hand, in spite of, in contrast等。6. 根据因果关系推测。根据前后的因果关系来推断其中的某个生词或短语的意思。可能是由表示原因的句意推出表示结果的句子中的某个生词或短语的意思，即由因推果法；也可能是由表示结果的句意推出表示原因的句子中的某个词或短语的意思，即由果推因法。表示因果关系的有because, so that, so/suchthat等。7. 还可以根据并列关系、同类关系、比喻关系、定义关系所举实例、构词法和生活常识等多种方法来推测。【答案及解析】 本文讲述暑假中小孩子的安排和对家长的一些建议。 1.
