例如:2001年全国卷中第26题:
We didn't plan our art exhibition like that but it_____ very well. A.worked out B.tried out C.went on D.carried on
正确答案为A。此处work out的词义为“(情况)发展……”、“进行……”。其余干扰项的干扰作用都很大。如果没有完全掌握work out的含义,根本无法选定这个选项,更何况,我们的课本根本未有把work out作“(情况)进展”、“进行”解释过。单选题如此,阅读理解、完形填空等题中熟词生义现象更是比比皆是。为了能使我们顺利通过考试,现按照字母顺序举例解析我们常见常考的熟词生义。 A
