句型 used to “过去惯常做某事；以前是(暗含现在不做了或不是
了之意)”，后接动词原形，既可表过去的动作，亦可表过去的
状态。

几乎等于”，此时，as much后除了接不可数名词外，还可接a/an
＋可数名词单数。

怎样猜测词义（三）
【方法技巧】
根据上下文表现出来的逻辑关系，如并列、转折、对比、比较、递进、因果等猜测词义。例如：My sister Marie is an optimist，while her boyfriend is one who is always gloomy and expects the worst to happen.句中的while意为“然而”，表示上下文是对比关系。由optimist“乐观派”可猜知gloomy意为“沮丧的”。又如：He is successful as a businessman because of his dynamic personality.He seems to have unlimited energy.正是因为他的dynamic personality，他才显得have unlimited energy“有用不完的劲”，那么dynamic的意义应为“精力充沛的，精力旺盛的”。
【实例验证】
In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem (定理)．First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century，the theorem had baffled_and_beaten the finest mathematical minds，including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem，and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique.Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995.An unusual story of human effort over three centuries，Fermat’s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.
◆Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “baffle” in the text
A．To encourage people to raise questions.
B．To cause difficulty in understanding.
C．To provide a person with an explanation.
D．To limit people’s imagination.
解析：由句中不难看出Fermat的定理使得最具数学头脑的科学家绞尽脑汁(beat the finest mathematical minds)，并且在句中beaten和baffled处于同等并列关系，据此猜知baffle意为“使困惑、难倒、难以理解”。
答案：B
【实践应用】
Collections were inspiration for a project at Thomas Tallis School，which formed part of the Imagine Children’s Literature Festival last autumn.Each child (aged 12 13) beautified a box and wrote a story on the subject of collections to throw inside it.The boxes were spread within the Royal Festival Hall’s Ballroom.Some were left empty to encourage visitors to write their own stories.
The subject chosen by Lauren was an imaginative one.“It’s sort of Cinderella (灰姑娘) story，” she told me，inspired by a collection of letters from her cousin.In the story these become love letters，burned by a cruel stepmother.Lauren’s best friend Charlotte is the stepmother.“I’m in Charlotte’s story，too，” says Lauren，“and I get run over.” Charlotte’s tale was inspired by the girls’ coin collection.“We’ve collected foreign coins for years—since our families went on holiday to Tenerife，” she explains.“That was before the Euro，so we put pesetas in.” Lauren continues，“I find a coin on the road，go to get it and get run over.I’m in hospital and then I die.” Charlotte adds，“Or she might not die.I haven’t decided yet.”
◆The underlined word “pesetas” in Para.2 is a kind of ________.
A．story B．collection
C．inspiration D．foreign coin
答案：D
实战演练
Honesty comes in many forms.First there’s self honesty.Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors I find that if I try to be something I’m not，I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account )．I love how singer Judy Garland put it，“Always be a first class version(版本) of yourself，instead of a second class version of somebody else.”
Then there’s honesty in our actions.Are you honest at school，with your parents，and with your boss If you’ve ever been dishonest，I think we all have，try being honest，and notice how whole it makes you feel.Remember，you can’t do wrong and feel right.This story by Jeff is a good example of that：
In my second year of study，there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well.I was really good at it.I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass.I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers，and hand them off.
At first I felt like I was making money，kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore，because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything，and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.
It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests，lying to their parents，and stealing at work. But，remember，every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄)into your PBA and will build strength.
1．The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the
first paragraph means “________”．
A．to be honest B．to be unreal
C．to become clear D．to come from an imagined world
解析：词义猜测题。由句中的or来看，划线部分的意思应该与
前句中的real相对。
答案：B
2．Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words
A．Be your true self rather than follow others.
B．Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.
C．Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.
D．Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.
解析：细节理解题。Judy Garland话中的前半句与Be your true
self相对，后半句与rather than follow others相对。
答案：A
3．What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story
A．Honesty can be of great help.
B．A bad thing can be turned into a good one.
C．Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.
D．One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.
解析：推理判断题。从文章第二段最后两句可知，作者用Jeff
的故事证明you can’t do wrong and feel right。
答案：D
4．In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express
________.
A．one must be brave to be honest
B．it’s difficult to be honest when others are not
C．one should be honest when making a deposit
D．honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future
解析：推理判断题。根据作者的观点可以知道，诚实是一种自
我投资，对一个人的成长和未来的工作和生活都有很大的帮
助。
答案：D
5．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into
Chinese.

怎样猜测词义（三）
【方法技巧】
根据上下文表现出来的逻辑关系，如并列、转折、对比、比较、递进、因果等猜测词义。例如：My sister Marie is an optimist，while her boyfriend is one who is always gloomy and expects the worst to happen.句中的while意为“然而”，表示上下文是对比关系。由optimist“乐观派”可猜知gloomy意为“沮丧的”。又如：He is successful as a businessman because of his dynamic personality.He seems to have unlimited energy.正是因为他的dynamic personality，他才显得have unlimited energy“有用不完的劲”，那么dynamic的意义应为“精力充沛的，精力旺盛的”。
【实例验证】
In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem (定理)．First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century，the theorem had baffled_and_beaten the finest mathematical minds，including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem，and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique.Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995.An unusual story of human effort over three centuries，Fermat’s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.
◆Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “baffle” in the text
A．To encourage people to raise questions.
B．To cause difficulty in understanding.
C．To provide a person with an explanation.
D．To limit people’s imagination.
解析：由句中不难看出Fermat的定理使得最具数学头脑的科学家绞尽脑汁(beat the finest mathematical minds)，并且在句中beaten和baffled处于同等并列关系，据此猜知baffle意为“使困惑、难倒、难以理解”。
答案：B
【实践应用】
Collections were inspiration for a project at Thomas Tallis School，which formed part of the Imagine Children’s Literature Festival last autumn.Each child (aged 12 13) beautified a box and wrote a story on the subject of collections to throw inside it.The boxes were spread within the Royal Festival Hall’s Ballroom.Some were left empty to encourage visitors to write their own stories.
The subject chosen by Lauren was an imaginative one.“It’s sort of Cinderella (灰姑娘) story，” she told me，inspired by a collection of letters from her cousin.In the story these become love letters，burned by a cruel stepmother.Lauren’s best friend Charlotte is the stepmother.“I’m in Charlotte’s story，too，” says Lauren，“and I get run over.” Charlotte’s tale was inspired by the girls’ coin collection.“We’ve collected foreign coins for years—since our families went on holiday to Tenerife，” she explains.“That was before the Euro，so we put pesetas in.” Lauren continues，“I find a coin on the road，go to get it and get run over.I’m in hospital and then I die.” Charlotte adds，“Or she might not die.I haven’t decided yet.”
◆The underlined word “pesetas” in Para.2 is a kind of ________.
A．story B．collection
C．inspiration D．foreign coin
答案：D

Honesty comes in many forms.First there’s self honesty.Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors I find that if I try to be something I’m not，I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account )．I love how singer Judy Garland put it，“Always be a first class version(版本) of yourself，instead of a second class version of somebody else.”
Then there’s honesty in our actions.Are you honest at school，with your parents，and with your boss If you’ve ever been dishonest，I think we all have，try being honest，and notice how whole it makes you feel.Remember，you can’t do wrong and feel right.This story by Jeff is a good example of that：
In my second year of study，there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well.I was really good at it.I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass.I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers，and hand them off.
At first I felt like I was making money，kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that anymore，because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything，and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.
It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests，lying to their parents，and stealing at work. But，remember，every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄)into your PBA and will build strength.

B．A bad thing can be turned into a good one.
