高考命题人考察词汇主要依据是《普通高等学校招生全国统一考试说明》所附的词汇表或新课标词汇表。在英语语言实际交际使用中，一词多义现象非常常见，而且也常用到常见熟词的偏僻词义，这给命题人提供了广阔的出题范围，极少受到命题限制，却给考生增加了词汇复习的备考难度。
现根据历年高考真题，总结归类一部分考试中高频出现的“乍看面孔熟悉、熟词熟义，实则另有偏僻词义”的词汇，供中高考学子备考冲刺阶段参考。
我们先来看一道高考真题原文: 【2017全国II卷阅读B篇，真题原文】He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it.
【deal常见词义解释】 deal是个常用词，熟词常义的含义为“v. 处理；n. 买卖，大量”，而这句高考真题中的deal却与deal这个单词的熟词常义，没有一点关系。
此句中的deal恰好用到了deal这个单词的生词僻义，其意为“bad fortune or unfair treatment（坏运气；不公平的对待）”。如果不掌握这个词的生词僻义，对解答文后的阅读理解题一定会有影响。【参考译文】他一直进出医院。他和我都知道这种霉运意味着什么，然后我们都不谈论这种事。
分析真题可知，对熟词生义进行设题，一直是命题者常用的考察一词多义，熟词生义以及考生词汇量的不二选择。熟词生义考察形式主要在语法单项选择题、完形填空题、语法填空题、阅读理解题等题型中，每年绝不会不会缺席，现分享此文，希望考生和老师认真反复阅读此文，争取好成绩！
