高考英语专题复习---熟词生义、一词多义
普通高等学校招生全国统一考试说明中的词汇表是命题人的主要依据,而这个词汇表只提供了英语单词或短语的拼写形式,未有词义;这就给命题人提供了广阔的活动空间,给他们减少了很多限制,但却给考生增加了几倍的难度;因为英语中的一词多义多性现象是普遍存在的;
例如：2001年全国卷中第26题：
We didn't plan our art exhibition like that but it_____ very well．
A．worked out  B．tried out  C．went on  D．carried on
正确答案为A;此处work out的词义为“情况发展……”、“进行……”;其余干扰项的干扰作用都很大;如果没有完全掌握work out的含义,根本无法选定这个选项,更何况,我们的课本根本未有把work out作“情况进展”、“进行”解释过;单选题如此,阅读理解、完形填空等题中熟词生义现象更是比比皆是;为了能使我们顺利通过考试,现按照字母顺序举例解析我们常见常考的熟词生义;
