一、通過上下文語境猜測詞義
Passage 1
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it's on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding.

Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our Al-powered future, and this is where Al by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.

In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代碼) that powers Al but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.

Passage 7
Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.
In this "book of books", artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed（描繪）alone in many settings and poses absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to.

Passage 1
1.D 根據上文“When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it's on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. ”可知，在閱讀幾百字的文本時，紙質閱讀比屏幕閱讀的學習效果更好。根據畫線詞所在句"when experimenters move from posing simple tasks-like identifying the main idea in a reading passage to ones that require mental abstraction such as drawing inferences from a text”可知，當實驗人員把任務從易（比如找到閱讀文章的主旨）到難（需要抽象思維，比如從文本中推斷出結論）推進時，紙質閱讀的優(yōu)勢尤為明顯，也就是變得容易被人注意到（become easy to notice）。
故選D。
Passage 2
2.B 分析句子結構可知，后面的定語從句“when they would normally reproduce”修飾 the optimum times。由此可知，“the optimum times”指的是“珊瑚正常的繁殖時間”，所以畫線詞與 appropriate（合適的，恰當?shù)模┮馑枷嘟?。故選 B。
Passage 3
3.D 根據畫線詞的上文“The challenges were psychological，
physical, and sometimes life-threatening... who invited
him into his home for coffee and apple pie. ” 可知，F(xiàn)uhrmann 在航行中遇到了很多挑戰(zhàn)，也有幸遇到善良的陌生人。由此可知，these switchbacks 指的是上文敘述的這些挑戰(zhàn)，switchbacks 應該意為“曲折”，與 challenges力同義關系。故選D。
Passage 4
4.C 根據畫線短語的下文“but,thankfully,Campbell has...accessible and informative”可知，畫線短語所在句子前后語義為轉折關系。由此可推知，Campbell寫的這本書是通俗易懂的，如果別人寫這本書的話可能就不是這樣了，因此畫線短語表示“如果是由能力較差的人寫”。
故選C。
Passage 5
5.A 根據畫線詞的下文“After all, I was only a senior girl in high school coaching a seventh grade basketball team. 可知，作者當時只是一個高中高年級的女生，執(zhí)教一支七年級籃球隊，起初應是有點擔心。因此 apprehensive 意為“擔心的”。故選A。
Passage 6
6.B 畫線詞的上文“The convenience and width of an AI
Chat bot can't compete with the pleasures of chatting with someone whose personality I have learned over the course
of years. ”描述了使用人工智能聊天機器人練習語言的特點，從而推知畫線詞 It指代的是“使用 Lang AI 練習語言”。故選B。
Passage 7
7.A relate to 為人熟知的意思力“與....有關”，但根據 "These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago,but they record moments”中的 but表達的語境可知，這些場景可能是數(shù)百年前繪制的，但它們記錄了我們都能理解的時刻，故畫線短語“relate to”意思為“理解，認識到”，與 understand 意思相近。故選A。
Passage 8
8.C 結合文章可知，此處講的是德約科維奇大滿貫獲得的單打冠軍的次數(shù)與澳大利亞人瑪格麗特 考特保持的紀錄數(shù)相同。由此可知，畫線單詞的意思應與“等同于”意思相近。equal加上動詞后綴-ize，成動詞 equalize。C項符合題意。故選C。
