一、高考猜哪类词 1.生词生义 例一：Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality(个性)and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.” What does the word “charisma” underlined in the text refer to? A. A natural ability to attract others. B. A way to show one’s achievement. C. Lieberman’s after-class interest. D. Lieberman’s fine cooking skill. 答案A。charisma为非考纲词汇表上单词，其词义与下文的“It’s about your personality(个性)and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”有关。 例二：Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education. The words “hooked on teaching” underlined in the paragraph probably mean ________. A. attracted to teaching B. tired of teaching C. satisfied with teaching D. unhappy about teaching 答案A。become/get hooked on sth为非考纲词汇表上词组，其词义可以通过下文的… and changed his major from medicine to education.来获得。
