語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了學(xué)會如何使用新單詞的幾點建議。

1.選A此處為本段主旨句，根據(jù)其他各段首句的句式特點可知此處用祈

使句,再根據(jù)本段的主要內(nèi)容以及空后一句中的setagoalforyourself的詞語復(fù)

現(xiàn)得出答案，故選A。

2.選D根據(jù)首句Writemore.可知，本部分內(nèi)容應(yīng)該圍繞“寫，練筆”展開,

故選D。

3.選E本句是對下一句的總結(jié)和歸納，本段內(nèi)容與“多練習(xí)寫作“相關(guān)；且

根據(jù)空后一句中的composingmemosorwritinggroupemailsorparticipatingin

groupdiscussions可知，這些都是與writingtask相關(guān)的，故選E。

4.選F本空前說在咖啡壺上面掛上便利貼，寫上你希望記住的一個特定單

詞的定義，這樣你就可以一邊煮咖啡一邊學(xué)習(xí)它了，空后又說即使你在看電視或

做其他活動，也要隨身攜帶一些閃存卡，學(xué)習(xí)你的新單詞，由此可知，此處介紹

的也是擴(kuò)大詞匯量的一種方式，故選F。

5.選C空后一句是對所填句子的補(bǔ)充解釋，理解后一句可知，如果一個

單詞可以減少一個句子中的單詞數(shù)量，那么它對你的詞匯量是一個有用的補(bǔ)充，

故選C。
