1、查英文释义解完形填空词汇辨析王卫珍在英语学习的过程中,经常会需要对一些同义词、近义词进行辨析,如果单从其汉语意义方面进行区别,效果并不会很好,这时往往要从英语语言的文化习俗、习惯入手,查英文释义,这样才能做到忠实于英语语言文化!下面笔者以完形填空中的词汇辨析为例进行阐释。实例展示例1ThepartybeganshortlyafterMr.Wood,wholivedintheflatbelow,signedtohimselfasheheardexcitedvoicesandthenoisymusic.Luckilyhehadbroughtsome

7、yorbymostpeople来对比分析,这道题应选择A选项。例3Onahikethroughthebush,hecameacrossayoungbullelephantstandingwithonelegraisedintheair.Theelephant36greatlypained,soPeterapproacheditverycarefully.Hegotdownononeknee,examinedtheelephant’sfootandfoundalargepieceofwooddeeplystuck(刺入)init.As
