高考英語“七選五閱讀”答題技巧與專題訓練
【考點歸納】
“七選五”型閱讀理解題，試題模式為：給出一篇缺少五個句子的文章，對應有七個選項，要求同學們根據(jù)文章結(jié)構(gòu)、內(nèi)容，選出正確的句子，填入相應的空白處�！犊荚囌f明》對該題型命題目的的表述為“主要考查考生對文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握�！�
此題型文章中有5處空白，在閱讀過程中，如果不明白文章的主旨和段落主題、作者的寫作意圖，就很難順暢地讀下去、讀明白，自然就很難選出正確答案。而一個空填錯勢必又影響到對另外一個空的選擇。另外，此題有5個空白處，卻提供7個選項，因此有2個選項是多余的干擾選項，從而又加大了選出正確答案的難度。
該題型要求同學們從整體上把握文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容上的聯(lián)系，理解句子之間、段落之間的關系，對諸如連貫性、一致性等語段特征有較強的意識和熟練的把握。
“七選五閱讀”常見設題類型
一）詞匯復現(xiàn)型
“詞匯復現(xiàn)”是指屬于同一詞匯搭配范疇或者某一領域的詞匯在文章前后復現(xiàn)，根據(jù)復現(xiàn)的詞匯進行選擇是一個重要的參考點，能幫助考生盡快縮小范圍。一般來說，上下文中詞匯的范疇越小，上下文的銜接關系越緊密。
【2015?全國卷Ⅰ】
39.________ If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we'll have our trust tested or violated.
? You didn't lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40.________ Instead, it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
G．Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.
【解析】
39．C 根據(jù)后句“If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance.”可知此段主要講述不要一直認為自己是受害者。Victim一詞是復現(xiàn)的關鍵詞。故選C。
40. G。根據(jù)前一句Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life.和后一句Instead, it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness. Positive一詞是復現(xiàn)的關鍵詞。故選G。
【答題技巧】
1）從意思上判斷
在做題時最重要的是要讀懂空白前后的句子，明白這幾句話的確切意思，然后根據(jù)意思的連貫性或邏輯性從選項中選取正確答案。在讀懂意思的基礎上，再利用線索特征詞等進一步確認答案。
2）從詞匯上鎖定線索
做題時很重要的一點是保持對一些線索詞的敏感，最主要的線索特征詞是空白前后的名詞和動詞，尋找答案時注意在選項中查找同義詞、近義詞、反義詞或表示同一類事物的詞語等。其次是代詞、數(shù)詞、表示時間/年代的詞、地點/名稱等專有名詞等。尤其是在讀不懂句子的情況下，利用這樣的線索詞尋找答案是很有效的方法。
3）從關聯(lián)詞上查找
由于英語的句段之間經(jīng)常會運用關聯(lián)詞表示銜接和過渡，使文章邏輯更清楚和連貫，因此文章中和選項中表示各種邏輯關系的路標性信號詞在選擇答案時都是很重要的線索。在做題時可將這三個層面的線索很好地結(jié)合起來。例如，在看到表示并列或遞進關系的關聯(lián)詞時，一般表示前后句子的名詞或句意具有同指性；而表示轉(zhuǎn)折讓步關系的詞則往往表示前后句子的名詞同指，但句意對立，或褒貶對立或肯否對立；而表示例證關系的詞則意味著在舉例之前或之后有表述概念或某一觀點的句子，往往會有復數(shù)名詞出現(xiàn)。上一段材料中第40題后面的Instead一詞就是很重要的一個關聯(lián)詞。

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Everyone knows that fish is good for health. __16__ But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn't difficult. __17__ This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
__18__ Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh. __19__ When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one.
There are many common methods used to cook fish. __20__ First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (調(diào)料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it's ready to serve.
A. Do not buy it.
B. The easiest is to steam it.
C. This is how you can do it.
D. It just requires a little knowledge.
E．The fish will go bad within hours.
F．When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G．The fats in fish are thought to help Pvent heart disease.
【解析】
16.G。由上一句的Everyone knows that fish is good for health.可知下一句很自然會談到The fats in fish are thought to help Pvent heart disease.
17. D 上文提及“買魚、貯存魚和烹飪魚不難”，下一句說“本文就是有關如何購買魚，并用簡易的方法烹飪魚的”，所以空格處應該是說“買魚、儲存魚和烹飪魚要求具備一些相關的知識”。故選D項。
18. F 由空格后的句子說“新鮮的魚聞起來應該味道鮮美”可知上一句應該是說“你買魚的時候應該首先聞一聞”。故選F項。
19. A 由上一句說“任何魚腥味或者難聞的腥臭味都意味著魚不新鮮了”可知下一句應該是說 “不要買這樣的魚”。故選A項。
20. B 空格前的句子說“烹飪魚有多種常見的方法”，后面介紹蒸魚的步驟，由此可知空格處的句子應該是關于蒸魚的。故選B項。

A garden that’s just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(總和) of its parts? 16 . But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.
●___17
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料). 18 . However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recall(回憶)your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 19 --how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 20 then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.
A. Know why you garden
B. Find a good place for your own garden
C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters
D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers
E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too
G. For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. E 19. C 20. G
【解析】
16.F。文章第一句以問題的形式引出主題，很自然地會過渡到F選項，“你也可以在自己的花園里...”
17.A 根據(jù)本段前兩句“Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers(肥料).”可知不同人對花園有不同的看法，再倒數(shù)第二句“然而，有很多能夠解釋你為什么想做園藝的原因”可知我們首先要搞清楚為什么要做園藝。故A項正確。
18.E 本段前兩句提出有些人認為花園只是一些花花草草，有些人關心少用水少用廢料。本句仍然在說明人們對園藝的不同看法。故E項“還有其他人只是喜歡在戶外接觸植物”與上下文一致，也是人們對于園藝的觀點。
19.C 根據(jù)前句“......那些都不重要”可知劃線句強調(diào)的是在園藝中對我們來說真正重要的是什么。故C項“重要的是我們搞園藝的經(jīng)歷”符合上下文串聯(lián)。
20.G 本部分介紹如果我們自己建一個花園，要回憶一下年輕的時候所看到的那些花園，并把這些花園的優(yōu)點寫下來，然后制定計劃并把自己的計劃變成美麗的花園。故G項與上下文一致。
【技巧點撥】
七選五閱讀中最常見的設空在段首的方法，通常是段落主題句。認真閱讀后文內(nèi)容，根據(jù)段落一致性原則，查找同義詞或其他相關的特征詞，推斷出主題句。17.題我們根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二句“However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.”可知我們首先要知道為什么要搞園藝。故A項為本段主題句。
當七選五閱讀設空在句首時，還可能存在以下兩種情況：
1. 屬于段落間的過渡句。這時要前瞻后望找啟示，即閱讀上一段結(jié)尾部分，通常正確答案與上一段結(jié)尾有機地銜接起來，并結(jié)合下一段內(nèi)容，看所選的答案是否將兩段內(nèi)容連貫起來。
2. 與后文是并列、轉(zhuǎn)折、因果關系等。著重閱讀后文第一兩句，鎖定線索信號詞，然后在選項中查找相關特征詞。通常正確答案的最后一句與空白后的第一句在意思上是緊密銜接的，因此這兩句間會有某種的銜接手段，尤其當選項是幾句話時。比如，如果選項中出現(xiàn)時間年代時，往往要注意與原文中年代的前后對應關系。
【終極闖關】
【2016?全國新課標I】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Secret codes (密碼)keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.
There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
38 You might rePsent each letter with a number, For example, Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example “bridge“ might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.
【答案】
36.-40 D E G.F A
【解析】
36.D。考查上下文的判斷和理解能力。由后一句內(nèi)容可知該句和code breaking 有關。
37.E考查對上下文的理解和判斷能力。后面舉的例子是來證明人們設置密碼時往往會利用一些單詞的第一個字母來作為密碼，由此判斷E選項內(nèi)容符合語境邏輯。
38.G考查對上下文的理解和判斷能力。根據(jù)后面的解釋內(nèi)容可以判斷這是介紹密碼設置的又一種方法，故G選項內(nèi)容Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.符合語境。
39.F考查對上下文的理解和判斷能力。根據(jù)后面的舉例以及前句中的 a code book可以判斷該句是介紹密碼書的使用，故判斷F選項With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.可以起到承上啟下的作用。
40.A考查對上下文的理解和判斷能力。根據(jù)空后內(nèi)容的轉(zhuǎn)折可知盡管利用密碼書可以破譯密碼，但是一本密碼書也不會使用很久的時間，故判斷A選項It is very hard to break a code without the code book.符合語境。
二）代詞指代型
英語表達中代詞出現(xiàn)的頻率極高，代詞的作用無非是指代前面提及的名詞或形容詞概念，巧妙利用這樣的指代關系和根據(jù)代詞的單復數(shù)差異可以準確而快速地解題。
【2015?全國卷Ⅰ】Trust is a learned behaviour that we gain from past experiences. 36.________ Trust is a risk. But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
B．It is putting confidence in someone.
【解析】36．B 根據(jù)前一句“Trust is a learned behaviour that we gain from past experiences.”可知選B。選項B中的it代指上文出現(xiàn)的trust。
【2015?全國卷Ⅱ】
When you have found shoes that seem right，walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit.__37__．As always，you should stretch(伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to Pvent injuries.
E． If they still feel good，you can begin running in them
【解析】37.E。選項中代詞them指的是上文提到的shoes。
【技巧點撥】
1)如果問題在段首
(a)通常是段落主題句。認真閱讀后文內(nèi)容，根據(jù)段落一致性原則，查找同義詞或其他相關的詞，推斷出主題句。
(b)與后文是并列、轉(zhuǎn)折、因果關系等。著重閱讀后文第一兩句，鎖定線索信號詞，然后在選項中查找相關特征詞。通常正確答案的最后一句與空白后的第一句在意思上是緊密銜接的，因此這兩句間會有某種的銜接手段。
(c)段落間的過渡句。這時要前瞻后望找啟示，即閱讀上一段結(jié)尾部分，通常正確答案與上一段結(jié)尾有機地銜接起來，并結(jié)合下一段內(nèi)容，看所選的答案是否將兩段內(nèi)容連貫起來。
2)如果問題在段尾
(a)空白前的一句或兩句是重點語句，重點閱讀以鎖定關鍵詞。
(b)通常是結(jié)論、概括性語句。注意在選項中查找表示結(jié)果、結(jié)論、總結(jié)等的信號詞，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等詞語，選項中也可發(fā)現(xiàn)前文的同義詞句。
(c)與前文是轉(zhuǎn)折或?qū)Ρ汝P系。此時要注意在選項中查找表示轉(zhuǎn)折、對比的關聯(lián)詞，同時注意選項中所講內(nèi)容是否與前文在同一主題上形成對立、對比關系。
(d)與前文是并列或排比關系。在這種情況下，通常是該段落要求補全說明本段主題的其他細節(jié)，因此根據(jù)段落一致性原則，在原文和選項中找到相關的特征詞，通常在選項中會出現(xiàn)表示并列/遞進關系的關聯(lián)詞或與前文類似的句式結(jié)構(gòu)，或出現(xiàn)同義詞等其他信號線索。前面的一句與正確答案的第一句是緊密相連的。要特別注意閱讀這樣相連的兩句，通常會找到關鍵的線索詞句。
(e)所選答案是引出下一段的內(nèi)容。如果在選項中找不出與前文之間的關聯(lián)，此時可考慮與下一段開頭是否有一定的銜接。認真閱讀下一段開頭幾句，看是否與選項的最后一句緊密連接起來。
(f)如果第一段的段尾是空白，要認真閱讀，看此處是細節(jié)還是主題。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主題，如果在段尾提出主題，會用一些信號詞如轉(zhuǎn)折詞引出來，正確答案中應有這樣的特征詞。
3)如果問題是一整個自然段
(a)這個段落應該是承上啟下，而且自成一體，即有一個段落的中心，因此可重點閱讀選項中較長的選項，以此類推直至找到正確答案。
(b)著重閱讀前一段結(jié)尾和后一段開頭的一兩句查找相關的線索，而且重要線索通常會在后一段開頭，因此后一段開頭往往比前一段結(jié)尾更為重要。
(c)分析段落之間的邏輯關系及內(nèi)容的連貫性，注意段落間的銜接手段。將選項代入原文，如果前后內(nèi)容連貫，符合邏輯，就能得出正確答案。

Nowadays it’s not easy to find a suitable job. Follow these tips, and possibly you can find a job that suits your personality.
● List your strong and weak points
Before you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 36 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organizing others, could be perfect.
● Ask others for their opinions
Although you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 37 They may come up with ideas that you haven’t considered. You should, however, make sure that they aren’t so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.
● Find out what potential jobs involve
38 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular Psentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.
● 39
When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it’ s possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don’t enjoy. 40 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, it is likely that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.
A.Take a personality test
B. Consider what delights you
C. Think about what makes you happy and then analyze why.
D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very easy and interesting.
E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.
F. Sometimes, it isn’t immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.
G, More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.

This way to dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy.__71__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __72__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities(機會) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__73__ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task?Pferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”， being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__74__
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.__75__
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A．Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B．They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C．Without wandering minds, we wouldn't have relativity, Coke or Post-it notes.
D．At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.

72. C 考查邏輯例證。本段談做白日夢的好處，greatest ideas and achievements是關鍵詞，所以本空可以用例證說明greatest ideas and achievements指什么。
73. A 考查邏輯關系。本段開篇提出做白日夢的機會(opportunities)，后面提出增加機會的方法，三句為并列關系，闡述做什么能夠幫助人更好地進入白日夢的狀態(tài)，因此A選項中的關鍵詞also helps最為符合。
74. E 考查邏輯關系。整段闡述如何做到專注，與E選項中的self-control，stay calm and attentive相匹配。故選E。
75. G 考查邏輯關系。本段段首提出“…never know what wonderful idea might strike…”，后面應該提供具體的應對策略，所以建議最好隨時把好的想法記錄下來。而記錄所需要的重要工具就是G選項中的notebook(筆記本)和voice recorder(錄音設備)。故選G。
【技巧點撥】
1)如果問題在段首
(a)通常是段落主題句。認真閱讀后文內(nèi)容，根據(jù)段落一致性原則，查找同義詞或其他相關的詞，推斷出主題句。
(b)與后文是并列、轉(zhuǎn)折、因果關系等。著重閱讀后文第一兩句，鎖定線索信號詞，然后在選項中查找相關特征詞。通常正確答案的最后一句與空白后的第一句在意思上是緊密銜接的，因此這兩句間會有某種的銜接手段。
(c)段落間的過渡句。這時要前瞻后望找啟示，即閱讀上一段結(jié)尾部分，通常正確答案與上一段結(jié)尾有機地銜接起來，并結(jié)合下一段內(nèi)容，看所選的答案是否將兩段內(nèi)容連貫起來。
2)如果問題在段尾
(a)空白前的一句或兩句是重點語句，重點閱讀以鎖定關鍵詞。
(b)通常是結(jié)論、概括性語句。注意在選項中查找表示結(jié)果、結(jié)論、總結(jié)等的信號詞，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等詞語，選項中也可發(fā)現(xiàn)前文的同義詞句。
(c)與前文是轉(zhuǎn)折或?qū)Ρ汝P系。此時要注意在選項中查找表示轉(zhuǎn)折、對比的關聯(lián)詞，同時注意選項中所講內(nèi)容是否與前文在同一主題上形成對立、對比關系。
(d)與前文是并列或排比關系。在這種情況下，通常是該段落要求補全說明本段主題的其他細節(jié)，因此根據(jù)段落一致性原則，在原文和選項中找到相關的特征詞，通常在選項中會出現(xiàn)表示并列/遞進關系的關聯(lián)詞或與前文類似的句式結(jié)構(gòu)，或出現(xiàn)同義詞等其他信號線索。前面的一句與正確答案的第一句是緊密相連的。要特別注意閱讀這樣相連的兩句，通常會找到關鍵的線索詞句。
(e)所選答案是引出下一段的內(nèi)容。如果在選項中找不出與前文之間的關聯(lián)，此時可考慮與下一段開頭是否有一定的銜接。認真閱讀下一段開頭幾句，看是否與選項的最后一句緊密連接起來。
(f)如果第一段的段尾是空白，要認真閱讀，看此處是細節(jié)還是主題。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主題，如果在段尾提出主題，會用一些信號詞如轉(zhuǎn)折詞引出來，正確答案中應有這樣的特征詞。
3)如果問題是一整個自然段
(a)這個段落應該是承上啟下，而且自成一體，即有一個段落的中心，因此可重點閱讀選項中較長的選項，以此類推直至找到正確答案。
(b)著重閱讀前一段結(jié)尾和后一段開頭的一兩句查找相關的線索，而且重要線索通常會在后一段開頭，因此后一段開頭往往比前一段結(jié)尾更為重要。
(c)分析段落之間的邏輯關系及內(nèi)容的連貫性，注意段落間的銜接手段。將選項代入原文，如果前后內(nèi)容連貫，符合邏輯，就能得出正確答案。
