我國的著名翻譯家朱光潛說過：“一詞多義是各國語言中的普遍現(xiàn)象，翻開任何一部較詳細的字典，都可以發(fā)現(xiàn)在一個詞條下往往舉出幾個乃至幾十個意義?！边@說明在語言的學習過程中一詞多義是普遍現(xiàn)象，英語也不例外。在英語學習中，我們因閱讀量有限，很難遇到和掌握每個多義詞的各個意義，因此，在試卷中不可避免地會出現(xiàn)熟詞生義。這給我們造成理解上的障礙，特別是完形填空。

例如2018年高考英語全國Ⅲ卷完形填空中的第53題的答案bearing。學生往往熟悉bear做名詞，表示“熊”，他們很難想到bearing表示“攜帶”的意義：

He turned up at the hospital 53 gifts for the new mother Lindsey and her baby boy.

53. A. bearing B. collecting C. opening D. making

熟詞生義如同披著羊皮的狼，考生往往難以識破，結果被咬，嚴重受傷。其實，為防“被咬”，我們注意以下幾招。

完形填空是一道綜合題，它要求考生注重上下文之間的關系，稍不注意，學生被“狼”——熟詞生義咬傷。要識破熟詞生義這條“披著羊皮的狼”，考生每天必須定時定量練習完形填空。學生在掌握和理解文章主旨大意和句、段間的內在聯(lián)系的基礎上，準確判斷和選擇符合特定上下文的動詞、名詞、形容詞、副詞或其他詞，注重上下文之間的關系。所以遇到熟詞新義時，學生要理清上下文之間的邏輯關系，認真分析對比后做出正確的選擇。雖然練習是提高完形填空解題能力的最根本的方法，但練習不可貪多，要適量，每天一篇。練習后，要注重積累一些高頻單詞和短語，要特別留意熟詞生義。

破“狼”妙招二：結合高考真題

在復習教材中的重點詞匯時，一是要善于將出現(xiàn)在不同模塊不同單元的同一個詞及其派生詞進行歸納，二是要巧妙地與高考真題結合起來復習，以便更好地掌握教材里面的熟詞生義。如：

apply與其派生詞application， applicant在人教版教材中多次出現(xiàn)：

必修二第3單元：Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me. （application意為“應用程序”）

必修五第5單元：He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the police and ambulance arrived. （apply意為“使用”）

選修八第1單元：However， most applicants know that they have very little chance of getting a visa.（applicant意為“申請者”）

選修八第1單元：From 1882 to 1940 Angel Island was a famous immigration station where many Chinese people applied for right to live in USA.（apply for意為“申請”）

我們在分析講解這些句子時，可結合高考題來學習：

1. A Toronto man is offering a free round-the-world air ticket to the right woman. But restrictions apply.（2017年全國III卷）

2. ... since passport information was not required when

46 ， any Canadian Elizabeth Gallagher can take it. （2017年全國III卷）

4. We had to write a paper on how we plan to 51 what we would learn in class to our future professions and，eventually， to our lives.（2018年全國I卷）

A. add B. expose C. applied D. compare

同時，出一些相關練習讓考生根據(jù)上下文猜測詞義：

1. I am applying for a summer job.

2. They applied themselves to this task.

3. This rule applied to us.

4. The authorities applied the same principle.

6. The doctor applied the herb to the wound.

參考答案：1. vi.申請 2. apply oneself to sth.集中精力于3. vi.適用 4. vt.運用 5. vt.施加 6. vt.涂、敷

又如，last在教材中更是隨處可見，我們在平時的學習中，可收集整理它作不同詞性和不同意義的句子。如：指出下列各句黑體詞的意義。

1. They got married last month.

2. Much has changed since my last visit.

3. It was announced that it would be better than the last.

4. He is thinner than I last saw him.

5. He was the last to go to school.

6. I was always last picked for the football team at school.

結合高考真題：

1. Im sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept assistance from. （2016年全國III卷）（last adj.意為“最不可能……的”）

2. Hed moved to England with his mum when he was three and it had been 13 years since Id 41 seen him.（2018年全國II卷）

A. also B. often C. even D. last

（答案D，last adv.上次）

總之，熟詞生義這條“披著羊皮的狼”在完形填空中不斷以新的形式出現(xiàn)，我們要認真分析歷年高考真題，然后再回歸教材，并堅持閱讀，就一定能識破“熟詞生義”這條披著羊皮的狼，最后成功地滅了這條兇惡的“狼”！
