Question

【題目】 I am the proud owner of three pet dogs. Over the years, I have watched their behaviours carefully that help me when I travel around the world.

One important lesson that my dog, Cody, taught me is how to deal with little problems in life. From his calm behavior when someone knocked unexpectedly at the door to the indifferent way he has dealt with his recent serious illness, he has always had the same easy-going attitude. This attitude is an important lesson to me in how I can face difficult situations when travelling, I've learned to try to handle bad situations calmly, such as when we miss a train? lose luggage? and so on.

Another dog of mine, Preston, loves to walk around the yard, spending hours smelling every place and finding out what it means to him. Taking it slowly is another lesson that's been very hard for me to learn. As an active traveller, I am actually experiencing less by speeding through everything, rather than slowly getting to know a place. Even if it means that you won't see as many things, going slowly when you travel is the only way to really get to know a new place. Rushing around a foreign city isn't fun at all.

My dog, Moya, came from a truly bad situation. I am not sure what happened to her before； I just know it wasn't good. And while she has become more relaxed over the years, she is still slightly on edge. She is very cautious when faced with any new situation. But once she's accustomed to her new surroundings, she is fine. She doesn't let fear influence her experience. The same can be applied to our travel experience. No matter where we go, we need to manage new situations with caution--while at the same time not letting that caution turn into fear.

Many thanks to my pets. Truly speaking, pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pies. To Americans, pets are not just property, but a part of the family. After all, pets are people, too, with the help of whom I am able to gain a lot and live differently.

詞義猜測題是高考閱讀理解中�？碱}型之一，可以大致分為

① 定義猜詞，可以根據(jù)定義信息和舉例猜測詞義。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。

② 邏輯猜詞可以根據(jù)同義詞、反義詞、因果關系詞等猜測詞義，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜詞與這些提示詞前/后面部分的含義一樣、相反或是前因后果。

③ 語法猜詞，可以根據(jù)構詞法，再結合上下文進行猜詞。

④ 語境猜詞，猜測詞義離不開上下文的語境，通過上下文提供的情景和線索進行合理的分析，同時還要關注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

⑤ 指代猜詞即找出人稱代詞、指示代詞、關系代詞或關系副詞等所指代的內(nèi)容，做題時要注意指代詞的位置，以便于判斷，然后用所找的指代內(nèi)容替換劃線代詞，核實其邏輯、意義、位置等是否一致，最后比較所找部分與選項，確定意思最接近的選項。

如第3小題，該短語所在的句子的前半部分And while she has become more relaxed over the years中while引導讓步狀語從句，因此與后面的主句構成轉折關系，這句話可以譯為“雖然過去這些年它變得更放松，但是他仍然有點……”，可見該詞是前文的more relaxed的反義詞，A. hungry饑餓的；B. nervous緊張的；C. calm冷靜的； D. angry生氣的。故選B。
