分析 本文是從字典上摘下來(lái)的一個(gè)關(guān)于figure用法英文解釋.

解答 21.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知這里的figure是指體型的意思.watch my figure注意體型.正是第7層意思:7[C]the human shape,considered from the point of view of being attractively thin:doing exercise to improve one's figure.從瘦的角度考慮的人的形狀:做運(yùn)動(dòng)改善身材.所以答案選B.
22.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文中內(nèi)容figure of speech:a word or phrase used in a different way from its usual meanings in order to create a particular mental image or effect
修辭:一個(gè)詞或短語(yǔ)用不同的方式從其通常的含義,以創(chuàng)造一個(gè)特定的心理形象或效果.修辭格是指句中使用了一種修辭的手法.ABCD四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中D選項(xiàng)中使用了比喻的修辭法.
23.C:細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章中*put a figure on sth:to say the exact price or number of sth.報(bào)價(jià); 確定…的數(shù)量,與C選擇項(xiàng)的句子用法不相符合.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本主要考查推理判斷題.要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上,做出一定的推理判斷,從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義.推理判斷題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中的某一句話,也可能是某幾句話,所以,推理題的答案只能是根據(jù)原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案:即對(duì)原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫(xiě)或綜合.推理判斷題的題干中通常含有infer,suggest,imply,conclude  indicate等標(biāo)志性詞語(yǔ). 這種題型主要包括細(xì)節(jié)判斷題、態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)推斷題、寫(xiě)作意圖推斷題、文章出處判斷題和猜測(cè)想象推斷題
