1 lf you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!

Question:

The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ______.

A. sick C. asleep B. stand up D. a little sleepy

【答案】D

Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. 这句话和前面一句话是平行关系，两者表达的是同一种事物的不同解决方式，因此， drowsy的意思应当和前面一句话中的"fall asleep"具有相近的意思，从四个选项来看，应为D. a little sleepy"困倦"的意思，而不会是sick"病"，stand up"站起来"，asleep"睡着"的意思。

2 In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends.

Question:

In the first paragraph, the word spot means ______.

A. teach B. help C. find D. treat

[答案]C

本句含有一个so that引导的目的状语从句，spot的意思需要根据前后两句话的意思来作出推断。前一句话的意思是"教师鼓励孩子们参加集体活动，而不是参加个人活动"这是一个达到目的所实施的手段，后面是目的。从前面句子中的"集体活动"，以及后面的"交朋友有问题"可以推论出，spot的意思是"发现，找出"。
