題4：文章第一段提到“對(duì)于西方設(shè)計(jì)師來說，中國及其豐富的文化一直是西方創(chuàng)意的靈感源泉。”最后一段提到“對(duì)于Hill來說，在談?wù)摃r(shí)尚時(shí)，我們不可能不談?wù)撝袊念I(lǐng)先地位。”由此可以推測(cè)，本文標(biāo)題應(yīng)為“中國文化催生國際時(shí)尚潮流”。選D。考法1考法1代詞指代類順藤摸瓜”法渥冋方式Whatd（Whatd（iestheundetiiriedword"it/that"inParagraph2referBo?典例片段（2019?南京鹽城?？迹㏒o,nowyouknowwhatstyleis,you'llneedtobuysomeclothes.Butwhere?IntheUK,youcangetreallyhceap,stylish,secondhandclothesatcharityshops.They'regreatifyouwantexclusivelabelsbutdon'twanttopaytheprice.Theonlydifficultyisdiscoveringwherethereallygoodbargainsare.Butdon'tworry,LeilaGraycanhelpyouhere.She'stheproudownerofavintageHardyAmiescoat,pickedupatacharityshopfo￡20—agooddealwhenyourealizeitcostmorethan￡800new.“Youhavetogotothericherareasofacity,"shesays.“That'swhereallthelabelsare.Itcantakeabitofhuntingaround,butthatishalfthefun,andthere'salotofburiedtreasurejustwaitingtobediscovered."Whatdoestheunderlinedword“that"inParagraph2referto?Gettingclothesofleadingbrands.Buyingclothesatratherlowprices.Searchingforreallygoodbargains.Startingacharityshopsellingclothes.第一步鎖定內(nèi)容：內(nèi)容與主題語境中的購物有關(guān)。第二步明確句意：“它可能需要多逛一逛，但這是一半的樂趣，還有很多埋藏的寶藏等待被發(fā)現(xiàn)?！钡谌椒治鑫谋荆荷衔奶岬健癟heonlydifficultyisdiscoveringwherethereallygoodbargainsare.”唯一困難的是找到有物美價(jià)廉商品的地方。該句提到需要多逛一逛，后面提到還會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)寶藏。由此推知，多逛一下就能發(fā)現(xiàn)物美價(jià)廉的物品。選C?？挤?詞義猜測(cè)類——“線索追蹤”法考設(shè)問方式語薦樂型蘭要若色與主題語境相關(guān)前內(nèi)窖癥述。可以抿據(jù)上下交違底和構(gòu)詞法弩來推斷=■詞可収利用語;去芫磔、邏輯關(guān)展*構(gòu)詞法、上下文語境*肯景第溟粵"Whatdoeslhaworda..."2mean?—科冊(cè)換告、現(xiàn)彖說明.專題交覃.專欄丈章尊■=典例片段（2018?江蘇高考，B篇）Lightingmatters,too.WhenBerlinrestaurantcustomersateindarkness,theycouldn'ttellhowmuchthey'dhad:thosegivenextralargesharesatemorethaneveryoneelse,butwerenonethewiser—theydidn'tfeelfuller,andtheywerejustasreadyfordessert.Theunderlinedphrase“nonethewiser”inParagraph3mostprobablyimpliesthatthecustomerswere.notawareofeatingmorethanusualnotwillingtosharefoodwithothersnotconsciousofthefoodqualitynotfondofthefoodprovided第一步考查內(nèi)容：內(nèi)容與主題語境有關(guān)，即燈光與吃飯多少的關(guān)系。第二步分析句意：“在昏暗的燈光下顧客無法判斷吃了多少食物”，“吃多了也不會(huì)覺得飽”，用的是語境理解法。第三步對(duì)比選項(xiàng)：文中“atemorethaneveryoneelse”和“didn'tfeelfuller”與選項(xiàng)A中的信息“notawareofeatingmorethanusual”一致，故選A?？挤?句意猜測(cè)類——“意義吻合”法畔點(diǎn)揭秘I訴冋方式I語篇類型主要哥性句子巫音格占謹(jǐn)語與主班語墟州天的內(nèi)容指謹(jǐn)°可以抿堀上下站紊來拮斷=■帛用方迭有匡果推肝送、前后對(duì)比述.逗1SEE薛法、車制說明港尋aW^ldOeS1h$urld$r1in$dihP^r^^r'^ph2mean?Whichofthefollowingcanbestexplaintheunderlineds巳ntEn匚巳inParagraph3?科硏報(bào)告、規(guī)象說閨、專觀丈￥、冊(cè)究｝E告、拓媒焯■語籍等a典例片段（2019?北京海淀?？迹㊣nDecember2017,Iattendedaconference...IfeltfortunatethatIhadn'tmadethatmanymistakesinmyownlife.Thosewomen...failed...Iwasstartingtofeelsorryforthem.Then,...Iheardthewords:“Don'tbesoproudofyourself.Youhaven'tmadeanymistakesbecauseyouhaven'tlivedatall.Lookhowboringyourlifeis.”Thevoicewasright.Thereweren'tmanyatall.Ihadfollowedastraightpathfor38yearsInfact,at38,Ihadonlyhadthreejobs.“Thedevil（魔鬼）、you_know__is_better;than=the_one_you_don't"wasmymotto.AquickreviewofmylifemademerealizethatitwastheactionsIhadn'ttakenthatIwassuddenlyregretting...WhatdoestheunderlinedsentenceinParagraph4probablymean?Thefamiliardevilismorefrightening.Saying“no"isbetterthansaying“yes".It'sbettertostaywithinthecomfortzone.You'dbetterchangeyourjobmorefrequently.主旨大意：作者本來對(duì)自己安逸的生活感到幸運(yùn)，后來感覺到應(yīng)該不畏失敗，去嘗試新的生活。第二步分析句意：關(guān)鍵詞“followedastraightpathfor38years”38年來按部就班地生活、工作。座右銘是“安于現(xiàn)狀”。第三步對(duì)比選項(xiàng)：畫線部分與選項(xiàng)C中的信息一致，即“待在舒適區(qū)更好些”。（2019?河南鄭州?？迹┱Z篇類型：記敘文主題語境：特色工作AyoungLosAngelesactorinneedofasecondjobtopayhisbillshascomeupwithabrilliantwaytosupplementhisincome—peoplewalking.ChuckMcCarthyoriginallyconsideredbecomingadogwalkertoearnsomeextracash,butsoonrealizedthatthejobrequiredmorethanwalkingdogsonaleash.However,walkingpeopledidn'trequiremuchwhentheywereoutonwalks.ChuckrealizedtherewasmoneytobemadeifhewalkedpeoplearoundLosAngelesinstead.Itmightsoundlikeajoke,butThePeopleWalker,ashecallshimself,isveryseriousabouthisnewjob.For$7permile,heofferstowalkwithclientsaroundL．A.,listeningtotheirproblemsorsimplymakingconversationsandofferingthemasenseofsecurity.At6feet,2inches,andsportingabulkyfigureandbushybeard,Chuckdoesn'tlooklikethekindofguyyou'dwanttomesswith.Chuck'sservicesareaimedatpeoplewhoneedamotivationalboosttogowalking,thosewhodon'tfeelsafewalkingaloneinsomeareas,andthosewhoareafraidthatpeoplemightseethemwalkingbythemselvesandthinkthattheyhavenofriends.“IwearmyThePeopleWalkershirtuponrequestandonthefirstwalkwithanewclient,sotheycanbe100%sureit'sme，”McCarthysays.However,headmitssomepeopleareabituncomfortablewiththispolicy,astheydon'tnecessarilywanteveryonetoknowthatthey'rebeingwalked.Sofar,ChuckMcCarthyhasalreadyhadanotherfivepeoplewalkersemployed,coveringvariousareas,likedowntownL．A.,Hollywood,EagleRock,orFairfax.Oncehepostedsignsaroundthecity,hisphonestartedringingandclientsbeganrollingin.Andwithallthefreepublicityhehasbeengettinginthepresslately,morerequestsarecoming.Whilehehopesthathisactingcareerwillpickupsoon,inthemeantimeChuckisveryhappywithhispeoplewalkingbusiness.Afterall,it'sliterallya
