Duringofficehourshelookedverytenseandanxious,butontheweekendshewasveryrelaxed.tense:___________________________________________________________________Clue:

______________________________________________________________________Practice2緊張的“but”這個(gè)線索詞表明“tense”與“relaxed”的詞義形成對比，由此可以猜出“tense”這個(gè)詞含有“緊張”的意思。Duringofficehourshelooke

Forgetthestereotypes.WhenpeoplethinkofBritain,theyoftenthinkoftheroyalfamily,peopledrinkingteaintheafternoon,eatingfishandchipsandwearingbowlerhats.However,manyofthelongestablishedstereotypessimplyarenotrelevantinBritaintoday.Don’tassumethateveryonedrinksteaintheafternoon,andyouwon’tseeanyonewearingbowlerhatsonstreets.Givinguppreconceivedideasofpeopleandculturewillallowyoutobemoreopenminded

andreadilyabletoassimilatethecultureyoufindyourselfin.relevant:___________________________________________________________________Clue:______________________________________________________________________preconceived:_______________________________________________________________Clue:_______________________________________________________________________Practice5相關(guān)的句首的however表示此句想表達(dá)與上一句相反的意思。也就是說那些老套的模式化觀念是不對的，relevant前面有not，因此推測relevant的意思是“相關(guān)的”。預(yù)先的，預(yù)想的前文提到，不要認(rèn)為英國人都喝下午茶，而且你也不會(huì)在街上看到戴高帽子的人。這些都是人們對英國人的一貫印象，而此句的意思接著說要“放棄……想法”，這個(gè)想法指的就是人們對英國人的刻板的印象，因此可推斷preconceived意思是“預(yù)想的”。Forgetthestereotypes.When

C.abeliefthatpeopleshouldconsiderthebenefitoftheunitorgroupfirstClue:_______________________________________________________________________

Readthetextagainandchoosethemostprobablemeaningforthefollowingwordsandexplainwhatthecluesare.B冒號后面是對individualism一詞的定義，即“信仰將個(gè)人重要性放在首位，信仰個(gè)人的獨(dú)立”，其意思與B選項(xiàng)一致。AfterYouReadTask6：Determini2.collective(Para.2,Line3):_____

A.oforsharedbyeverymemberofagroupofpeople

B.relatingtoasingle,separatepersonorthing

C.ownedandcontrolledbyasinglepersonClue:_______________________________________________________________________A這是根據(jù)反義線索而猜測的詞義。前半句解釋個(gè)人主義的表現(xiàn)，即“追求個(gè)人利益”，線索詞ratherthan表示后半句與individualbenefit意思相反，因此collectiveinterest是“集體利益”的意思。2.collective(Para.2,Lsandcons(Para.3,Line1):_____

A.inonedirectionandthenintheoppositedirection

B.reasonsorcausesofsomething

C.advantagesanddisadvantagesofsomethingClue:_______________________________________________________________________C本段接下來的兩句給出了個(gè)人主義的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，即鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)新，詞組Ontheotherhand表明最后一句給出了個(gè)人主義的缺點(diǎn)，即整個(gè)社會(huì)缺乏整體意識(shí)。因此可以推斷prosandcons的意思是“優(yōu)勢和劣勢”。3.prosandcons(Para.3,Lin4.uptown(Para.5,Line5):_____

A.inortowardsanareaofacitythatisawayfromthecenter

B.toorinthecenterormainbusinessareaofatownorcity

C.intheindustryareaofatownorcityClue:_______________________________________________________________________Ａuptown與downtown詞義相對，即從城市中心到城市周邊，因此可以推斷該詞的詞義是“市郊”。4.uptown(Para.5,Line5):_5.overseas(Para.5,Line9):_____

A.inthemiddleofacountry,awayfromthesea

B.relatedtotheseaorocean

C.toorinothercountriesClue:_______________________________________________________________________C從句意來看，immigrantsfromoverseas與natives意思相反，與“本土人”相反的應(yīng)該是“來自海外的移民”，因此overseas的意思是“海外的，外國的”。5.overseas(Para.5,Line9)Task7：ComprehendingtheWholeText
