【解析】

学习新单词的过程中做记录是非常重要的。本文介绍了做记录的方法。

【1】主旨大意题题。根据文章第一段“It’s very important to keep a record of new words as you learn them. There are many ways to do this and this passage will give you ideas about how you can do this.”可知本文主要介绍了背单词做记录的方法。故选D。

【2】细节理解题。根据“Take the cards with you in your bag. When you have five minutes, e. g. on the bus, look at th word and try to remember the meaning.”可知带着单词卡，你可以在空闲时候随时背单词。故选B。

【3】词义推断题。narrow是wide的反义词，wide表示“宽的”，反义词应该是“窄的”。故选C。

【4】篇章结构题。文章第一段总领全文，最后一句“…this passage will give you ideas about how you can do this.”引出下文背单词的方法，第二段介绍单词卡片，第三段介绍单词表格，最后一段总结全文，因此文章结构是“总——分——总”。故选B。

针对词义猜测题，此类试题是不能直接从文章中得出答案的，需要考生根据前后内容进行比较对照，对它的含义（描述）以及举例进行猜测或者利用同位语、同义句或者构词法等进行猜测来得出答案。要做好此类试题，考生需要掌握以下几个技巧：

（1）通过生活常识来猜测词义：运用逻辑推理能力，自身的生活经验及生活常识，再联系上下文能读懂的部分，可以正确猜出词义。

（2）根据上下文语境猜测词义：根据文章的上下文语境来推测词义，需要理解文章的整体语境或者画线单词的前后句子的意思。

（3）通过同义词或同义关系猜测词义：通过同义词猜词，一是要看由and或or连接的同义词词组，如happy and gay；二是要看在进一步解释的过程中使用的同义词。本题的3小题就是通过反义词来猜测的。

（4）通过定义或释义关系猜测词义：定义或解释形式多样，常由that is（to say），in other words，call，mean，be considered to be，refer to，be called，be known as，define，represent，signify 等词汇或破折号来表示。作者为了更好地表达思想，在文章中对一些重要的概念，难懂的术语或词汇等进行解释。

（5）通过举例猜测词义：恰当的举例能够提供猜测生词的重要线索。比如根据such as，for example，like等词的前后，或者是破折号前后的内容猜测出画线单词的意思。
