address
【連線高考】The Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. (2011年遼寧卷閱讀)
這篇閱讀理解中針對(duì)這句中的address出了一道猜詞題。對(duì)于address,大家最熟悉的莫過于其“住址,地址”之意。有些同學(xué)可能知道address還有“演講,演說”的含義,相應(yīng)地,其作為動(dòng)詞還有“對(duì)……發(fā)表演說”之意。但在這里,address作動(dòng)詞用,意為“處理,應(yīng)付;設(shè)法了解并解決”。上面句子意為:流浪者聯(lián)盟是力圖解決美國(guó)無家可歸人口的需求的一個(gè)機(jī)構(gòu)。此外,address還有“對(duì)……說話;寫信給……”的含義。
【要點(diǎn)】address n. ①住址,地址;②演講,演說
vt. ①對(duì)……發(fā)表演說;②處理,應(yīng)付;設(shè)法了解并解決;③對(duì)……說話;寫信給……(后接to)

draw
【連線高考】The importance of this was drawn to my attention two years ago by the case of a TV station. (2011年上海卷閱讀表達(dá))
Draw屬于高考高頻詞,但考查的詞義常不同。同學(xué)們最熟悉其“繪畫;拉,拖”等含義。此外,draw one's attention (引起某人注意)、draw a conclusion (得出結(jié)論)等短語(yǔ)在高考中也經(jīng)??嫉?。上題中就出現(xiàn)了draw sth. to one's attention,其中的draw意為“使注意;引起(某種反應(yīng))”。
【要點(diǎn)】draw vt. ①繪畫;②拉,拖;③使注意;引起(某種反應(yīng));④推斷出;獲得(結(jié)論);⑤提取(存款等)

issue
【連線高考】Before sending us a manuscript (稿件), look through recent issues of the Post to get an idea of the range and style of articles we publish. (2011年北京卷閱讀)
Issue這個(gè)詞大家并不陌生,都知道其可表示“重要問題,要點(diǎn)”的意思。但在上面的句子中,issue同樣也作名詞,含義是“刊物”。實(shí)際上,issue作動(dòng)詞還可表示“發(fā)表;發(fā)行”,如issue a statement/warning (發(fā)表聲明/發(fā)出警告)、issue stamps (發(fā)行郵票)。上面的句子意為:把稿件寄給我們之前,請(qǐng)先閱覽近幾期《華盛頓郵報(bào)》,了解一下我們刊登的文章所涉及的領(lǐng)域及風(fēng)格。

Stick的詞義有很多,歷年高考中出現(xiàn)了其“枯枝;棍,棒”以及“粘貼”等含義,考查最多的是stick to (堅(jiān)持;忠于),還出現(xiàn)了stick together (團(tuán)結(jié)一致)、stick with (繼續(xù)進(jìn)行;緊隨)、stick out (伸出,突出)。而在上句中,stick意為“停留,留下”,與around搭配意為“待在原處”。
