　解體技巧：

　　這類題考察教學大綱所規定的四級詞匯。題干中要求理解的單詞考生全都認識，但是詞匯放在句中以后就有了在這個語境下的具體含義，甚至是活用的意義。解題關鍵在于聯系上下文，不能僅從單詞的字面意思來理解。

　　練習:

　　As diners shirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate over the profits. A restaurants typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water its often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands arent available in stores, most dinner dont notice or care

　　Q: The fancier brands refers to____

　　A tap water from the Thames River.

　　B famous wines not sold in ordinary stores.

　　C PepsiCos Aquafina and Coca-Colas Dasani

　　D expensive bottled water with impressive names

　　選D。

　　第一句提到，賣leading brands瓶裝水能賺取巨額利潤;第二句提到了飯店里面的瓶裝水價格高;第三句中又提到許多fancier bands不在商店銷售，消費者較少見到。可以推知，fancier brands的價格昂貴，fancier與impressive同義，D正確。
