114、如并列、对比、因果、转折关系等。这些逻辑关系往往通过一些相应的词或短语表达出来，如but, or, however, so, because等。(4)利用构词法知识答题。熟记一些前缀、后缀所表达的意思，不仅可以扩大词汇量，而且帮助我们猜测词义。第2小题的词义猜测题就是利用第1种解题方法。36B 37C 38B 39D 40A【分析】试题分析：本文讲述的是为什么飞机上的食物口感不好的原因，及其改进的措施。据科学家研究，在高海拔情况下，人的感觉变了，三分之一的味蕾减少了，因此，要做出口感好的食物还很困难。36B 推理判断题。题意：在第二段里的 “this problem” 意思是什么？A. pas
