解读：
1. 生词指的是超纲词，例如：poached(2011年text2);或者是熟词生义，例如：talking(2005年 text4);难句指的是需要结合上下文语境推测的，往往脱离字面意思的一些表达。
2. 解题线索：上下文的范围往往指的是本句，上一句及下一句。也就是说，答案往往在三句话之内出。
3. 语义关系：根据前后语义一致或语义相反进行推测，由于文章篇幅字数限制，多语义一致，少反义论证。因此在考频上，语义一致出现的频率大概占到90%，语义相反占到10%左右。
二、解题准备：
语义一致的常考形式：
1. 并列
具体标志：①as well as/not only...but also.../either...or.../in parallel with/neither...nor.../both...and...
②and,or,too,similarly
③单破折号，冒号，分号
④指代：this/that+(n.);such +n.
2. 总分
具体标志：①段首句+(First...Second...Third)②论点与论据
语义相反的常考形式：
1. 转折
具体标志：but、yet、however、unfortunately、in fact、instead...
2. 让步
具体标志：although、even though/if、despite、in spite of、though、even
3. 对比
具体标志：whereas、while;by contrast; on the contraty
三、试题示范
There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass a background check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes. This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk, saving time for everyone involved. The TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.
(2017年 text 1)
23. The word “expedited” (Para. 5) is closest in meaning to ______.
[A] quieter
[B] faster
[C] wider
[D] cheaper
此题是一道非常典型的词义句意题，考查对于超纲词“expedited”的词义推测，根据对于上下句的标志搜索，可发现下一句首出现指代“this”，意味着前后语义一致。“This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk, saving time for everyone involved. ”，对于这句话的重点信息分析发现，这里讲的是，TSA会关注更高风险乘客，从而达到为所有人节省时间的目的。那么，对比选项，和节省时间语义一致的应该是“faster”，答案就迎刃而解了。是不是很简单呢?
其实，语义关系的判断对于我们解题非常重要。这不光体现在阅读上，在完型中也会用到。例：
(英二2010年 完形)... a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising numbers in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere.But the epidemic is “ 4 ” in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization's director general, with the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery...
[A] moderate [B] normal [C] unusual [D] extreme
