Question

Homesick is a compound (復(fù)合的) word made up of “home” and “sick”. You know

  1  each word means on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are   2  together. “Homesick” means “Thinking of home, unhappy away from home.” In other words, it means “sick for home”.

　　Now think for a minute   3  the word SEASICK. If you change the word “home” in the definition (定義) to the word “sea”, would the definition  4  “seasick” ? Does seasick mean “thinking of sea, unhappy away from sea”? It means something quite  5 . Seasick means “made sick by the only place where you are on the sea.” It means “sick because of the sea.” When you are homesick, the only place you want to be is at home. When you are seasick, the   6  place you want to be is at sea.

　　Have you ever   7  a person being heartsick? Heartsick does not mean that something is wrong with a person’s heart. People are heartsick when they are   8 down deep inside as if (好像) their hearts are broken.

　  And so, when you are carsick, you are “made sick by the movement of a car on the road.” You are sick because of the car, not sick for it.

You can see, then, that   9  compound words are what they seem at first glance (一瞥). Think about the compound words, such as handshake and   10 . Perhaps you may write definitions for them. It must be helpful to know something like this in your English study.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了復(fù)合詞的意思并不是簡單的詞與詞的簡單相加，需要根據(jù)具體的語境選擇合適的意思。在平時的學(xué)習(xí)中要注意總結(jié)復(fù)合詞，大家不能“望詞生義”。

1.根據(jù)題干，本空應(yīng)該是作mean的賓語，本句的意思“你知道每個詞都有它自己的意思。”所以本題選A

2.根據(jù)題干，本句的意思是“但是要考慮一下他們用在以前的意思是什么。”故用used。所以本題選B。

3.本句的意思是“大家想一下關(guān)于SEASICK這個單詞”。只有about是“關(guān)于”。所以本題選C。

4.本題考查詞義辨析。Get“得到”；fit”適合“，”與…一致；“read“讀”；have“有”。本句的意思是“這個含義時候seasick嗎？”所以本題選A。

5.由下句Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. 可知上句應(yīng)為：它的意思不是“思念大�！�，而是完全不同的意思，所以本題選A。

6.本句的意思是“如果你暈船，你最不想去的地方就是坐船（在海上）�！币簿褪�

7.hear of“聽說”，hear from“受到某人的來信”，think over“重新考慮”，think about“考慮”。本句的意思是“你聽說過心臟病人嗎？”所以本題選A。

8.hit“打擊”，hurt“受傷”，love“愛”，move“移動”。本句的意思是“人們沮喪當(dāng)他們受傷了，在內(nèi)心深處，仿佛他們的心都碎了�！彼�以本題選B。

9.根據(jù)題干，本句的意思是“你看，并不是所以的復(fù)合詞都是你開始一瞥時的意思�！薄安⒎撬�有的”是not all。所以本題選C。

10.根據(jù)handshake可知，此處需要選一個復(fù)合詞，四個選項中只有 handwriting

是復(fù)合詞，故選D。

考點：本題考查教育類文章

點評：本完形填空有一定的難度，做題時要重在理解句意和上下文銜接的邏輯關(guān)系。不提倡看一個做一個，這樣很容易錯選答案從而導(dǎo)致整篇文章脫離主題�？梢杂没◣追昼娺M(jìn)行整體的閱讀，再結(jié)合文意進(jìn)行逐一作答。注意區(qū)別所給詞的用法及意思。
