Homonym:a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world,but a different meaning Same spelling,different meaning Imagine,then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way,but have completely different meanings.Welcome to the world of homonyms.Take,for example,the word‘fail'---it can be a kind of festival,and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game. Don't take it literally So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to?---You don't,except by the context.Obviously,if someone asks you to‘give them a hand',they don't want you to remove what is at the end of your arm. What's in a name? Sometimes even the context doesn't help much---the result can be amusing.These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun: I used to be a banker,but I lost interest. Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils? A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'. More ambiguity And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb: I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me. No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation. A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat. Double trouble And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb,but have different meanings.Can you work this one out? Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana. If you like these homonyms,you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more! Explanations of jokes in the text I used to be banker,but I lost interest.(I became bored with the job/I lost money) Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils?(students/parts of his eyes) A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'.(no difference in the situation/no money) I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me.(the ball hit me/I suddenly realized) No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.(became known/fell out) A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.(can't be better/difficult to mix with a fork) Time flies like an arrow.(time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana.(insects enjoy eating fuit.) |
分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們介紹了英語中的同形同音異義詞,同中文一樣,也十分有趣.
解答 56.D.推理判斷題.本文介紹了英語中的同形同音異義詞.故A項正確;根據(jù)So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to?---You don't,except by the context一句可知需要在具體語境中了解同音同形異義詞.故B項正確;根據(jù)文中的示例可知甚至是在語境中同形同音異義詞也會是我們困惑.故C項正確;D項在原文中未涉及;故選D.
57.B.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文章boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat意為:早餐吃一個煮雞蛋很好. hard to beat (成語)=無比的,極好的.B選項中句意為乘公共汽車比走路更好;其中的beat意為好于,比較好.故選B.
點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
