析：答案为A。认真阅读分析该词所在句可知，作者要求读者教育儿子理解自己用钱周济穷人维持家用的做法，不要为邻居因为富有而随意花钱感到难受，可见该词含义为“随意花钱”，这与throw money around的本义“到处扔钱”有密切联系。

    三、认真分析语境逻辑，巧妙推断生词含义

    生词词义判断题是高考英语阅读理解词义判断题最常见题型，解题时应认真分析语境逻辑，借助因果关系、转折关系、条件关系、定义解释、递进关系、让步关系、对比关系或并列关系巧妙推断生词含义。

    例1 （2006年浙江）原文：The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about Ridgway’s cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decided that this would be his future.

    42. The underlined word “exploits” （paragraph 3） is closest in meaning to ________.

    A. journeys B. researches

    C. adventures D. operations

    析：答案为C。认真阅读分析该词所在句及后一句可知，后一句是对主人公搜寻有关该词信息的描绘，可见该词与冒险活动有关。

    例2 （2006年福建）原文：The schools are reluctant to take time off——even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.

    59. The underlined word“reluctant”in the passage may probably mean________.

    A. kind B. unwilling

    C. free D. careless

    析：答案为B。分析该词所在句可知，破折号后面内容意义为：即使拥有英格兰和阿根廷比赛球票的教师请假出来看比赛也很困难，因此该词意义为“不情愿的”。

    例3 （2006年湖北）原文：We guarantee that you have nothing to lose if it’s not for you; Let us know within 6 weeks and we will completely reimburse you.

    59. What does the underlined part “reimburse” probably mean?

    A. Return the money you paid.

    B. Change the product you bought.

    C. Offer you a free repair.

    D. Guarantee you the quality.

    析：答案为A。认真阅读分析该词所在句可知，前半句表明即使消费者不满意也不会有任何损失，可见该词指全额退款。

    值得注意的是，有些生词是熟词词性变化词，但根据一般构词法知识难以准确推断其意义，此时仍应借助语境逻辑进行意义推断。

    例4 （2006年福建）原文：Anyone choosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of the level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that cannot be replaced if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children’s favorite toys.

    73. What does the underlined word“pager”mean in the passage?

    A. A boy employed to carry luggage in hotels.

    B. A piece of equipment designed to receive and show messages.

    C. A page of papers written to offer messages.

    D. A person invited to write pages of messages.

    析：答案为B。该词虽由page + er构成，但无法判断其准确意义，认真阅读分析该词所在句可知，该词与home, business并列，可见该词也是可以接受并显示警告信息的地方或设备。

    同学们可以借鉴以上方法，在平时练习中多运用，熟能生巧，提高阅读题正确率。
