专题技能突破(3) 阅读理解之词义猜测 【技能讲解】　词义猜测可以是猜测一个单词的意义，也可以是猜测一个短语或句子的意义；既可以是猜测一个生词的意义，也可以是猜测熟词的新意；还可以是对替代词所替代内容的猜测。如果生词被同位语从句、定语从句等句子或段落解释，可以根据这些定义猜测词义。如果生词前后有关键的词语，如表转折的词：but， however， in spite of， while， even though， unlike， instead， on the contrary等；表并列或解释的词：and， like， similarly， also， that is， namely， in other words等；表因果的词：because， since， for， so， thus， therefore， as a result， result from，可以根据这些词语猜测词义。典例剖析[2015·安徽高考，D篇]．..

As for me, I shared none of their canine lust. But why, they pleaded. “Because I dont have time to take care of a dog.” But well do it. “Really? Youre going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog？” Yes, yes, and yes. “I dont believe you.” We will. We promise. They didnt. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day), neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated，“The_medium_one_
