3、 答案为C此题属推理判断题.文中提到"metal".最后一句说退火工艺同样可用
于象玻璃一类的其他材料.文中我们已知"annealing"就是先"heat"后"cool slowly".由此推断C是正确的.
五、 猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎.
猜词是应用英语的重要能力,也是高考中常用的题型.它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇.我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义.
a. 定义法
如:Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.
句子给予annealing 以明确的定义,即"退火".
It will be very hard but also very brittle------that is , it will break easily.
从后面的解释中我们可以了解到brittle 是"脆"的意思.
The herdsman , who looks after sheep,earns about 650yuan a year.
定语从句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的词义为"牧人".
b 同位法
如:
They traveled a long way , at last got to a castle, a large building in old times.
同位语部分a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义,即"城堡".
We are on the night shift----from midnight to 8 a.m.---this week.
