’
t give up easily.
(
)
(

)利用“大”上下文推测词义,即利用距离生词较远的内容,如整个段落、篇章等来推
断。
eg.
Zip
was
stopped
during
the
war
and
only
after
the
war
did
it
become
popular.
What
a
difference it has made to our lives! It keeps people at home much more. It has made the remote
parts
of
the
world
more
real
to
us. Photographs
show
a
country,
but
only
zip
makes
feel
that a
foreign country is real. Also we can see scenes in the street. Big occasions are zipped, such as the
coronation
(加冕典礼)
in 1953 and the opening of Parliament. Perhaps the sufferers from zip are
the notable people, who, as they step out of an airplane, have to face the battery of zip cameras
and know that every movement, every gesture will be seen by a “zip personality”. Perhaps we can
sympathize when Members of Parliament say that they do not want debates to be zipped
Zip means

A. cinema.
B. photography.
C. television.
D. telephone.
