［A］distinguishing［B］discovering［C］determining［D］detecting。題目的意思是：鼻子能夠聞到人的體味。從表面上看，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都有幾分相似。而正確答案是D.detect這個(gè)單詞是新四第五課的重點(diǎn)單詞，在文中的意思是：（人體五官）感知，（主語(yǔ)是nose，自然就得翻譯成“嗅到”或“聞到”），強(qiáng)調(diào)的是生理上的特性。在新四的這篇課文中，也使用了這個(gè)詞的同義詞perceive。而這篇完型的閱讀中perceive也在前文中出現(xiàn)。3.詞匯學(xué)習(xí)策略學(xué)習(xí)策略是外語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的推進(jìn)器，英語(yǔ)的詞匯學(xué)習(xí)也是如此。新四的詞匯學(xué)習(xí)能夠給學(xué)習(xí)者提供多種詞匯學(xué)習(xí)策略，幫助學(xué)習(xí)者更好地掌握詞匯。首先，新四詞匯的學(xué)習(xí)是通過(guò)精讀課文，通過(guò)上下文的語(yǔ)境的例句來(lái)記憶單詞。較之硬背詞匯表，這種詞匯學(xué)習(xí)策略的好處是，可以幫助學(xué)習(xí)者形象地記憶單詞，同時(shí)上下文語(yǔ)境和例句能夠幫助學(xué)習(xí)者在記住單詞的同時(shí)，對(duì)單詞的使用有深刻的理解。其次，老師在講解新四的單詞時(shí)會(huì)通過(guò)以下集中方法來(lái)拓展詞匯：1，字根記憶法。比如在學(xué)習(xí)fluctuate這個(gè)單詞時(shí)，老師會(huì)指出該詞的字根是flu,表示“水流”，由這個(gè)字根生
