［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，四個選項都有幾分相似。而正確答案是D.detect這個單詞是新四第五課的重點單詞，在文中的意思是：（人體五官）感知，（主語是nose，自然就得翻譯成“嗅到”或“聞到”），強調(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.詞匯學習策略學習策略是外語學習的推進器，英語的詞匯學習也是如此。新四的詞匯學習能夠給學習者提供多種詞匯學習策略，幫助學習者更好地掌握詞匯。首先，新四詞匯的學習是通過精讀課文，通過上下文的語境的例句來記憶單詞。較之硬背詞匯表，這種詞匯學習策略的好處是，可以幫助學習者形象地記憶單詞，同時上下文語境和例句能夠幫助學習者在記住單詞的同時，對單詞的使用有深刻的理解。其次，老師在講解新四的單詞時會通過以下集中方法來拓展詞匯：1，字根記憶法。比如在學習fluctuate這個單詞時，老師會指出該詞的字根是flu,表示“水流”，由這個字根生
