2017年高考英语二轮复习测试第二章七选五阅读含解析
第二章“七选五”阅读阅读补全即“七选五”题型要求考生在一段留出5个空白的约300词的短文中,根据文章结构、内容,从所给的7个选项中选出最佳选项,填入相应的空白处,使补全后的短文意思通顺、前后连贯。
这种题型突出考查语篇结构分析能力,属于对语言使用范畴及语言组织规律的考查,即章法范围内的考查。
1.文体选择:文章体裁以说明文为主,结构都比较清晰,过程完整,适合考查对主题句、过渡句等的概括和总结。
单纯以时间或事件为线索的记叙文不宜考查逻辑思维能力,因而在高考中出现的概率较小。
2.设题方式:文章的首句与尾句很少设空(有小标题的题除外)。
能够填入设空处的最佳选项多为段落主题句、段落总结句、承上启下句、关键论点支撑句或全篇概括归纳句等。
所给的七个选项中有两个选项干扰性较强,而且所给的选项中,有的选项区分度不大,容易造成考生由于一处误选导致多处错答的情况出现,因此试题难度比常规阅读试题难度有所增加。
A根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
选项中有两项为多余选项。

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.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。

Leaving school can be hard.The reality is that you may not even see all of your classmates again.You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you.5 So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living.Enjoy your life wisely!A. Choose your friends wisely.B.They will help shape the future.C. They may seem to happen quickly.D. You will probably want to be independent.E.You may appreciate what you have in your own life.F.The choices that you make from now on will be your choices.G. Your family has been with you since you came into this world.6.The First AmericansThere was a time long ago when a land bridge connected Asia andNorth America.The first settlers in North America crossed this landbridge from what is now Siberia to Alaska. The people who made thisinitial crossing were probably following the animals they used for food.Eventually,the oceans rose and the land bridge between the continents disappeared.The set tlers,who I shall call the“ First Americans ” , could not return to their homeland.1For the next few thousand years,the First Americans migratedsouth and east throughout North and South America.They made thejourney all the way from Alaska to the southern tip of South America, adistance of more than 10,000 miles.2In the far north, above the Arctic Circle, the First Americans becamehunters of the ocean.3In the brief summer,they gathered berriesand other plants. In the winter, they stayed in lodges much of the timepreparing for the next summer. It was a hard life,but they learned tosurvive in these harsh conditions.Farther south,in what is now Arizona,Utah,Colorado,and New Mexico, the First Americans became cliff dwellers(悬崖居民 ). They beganby living in caves that already existed in the cliffs.4The dwellingsthey constructed in many ways resembled today’ s apartment buildings.5They built a system of dams and canals so they could store and usewater almost any time of the year. They were so successful thatthey could raise fruits and vegetables that were not found naturallyin the desert.In Mexico and South America, the First Americans founded civilizations thatwere among the greatest in the world. They built hugepyramids, lived in fabulous cities, and made great advances in science andmathematics long before the Europeans arrived.A. They also discovered foods like corn and potatoes.B. Along the way, they established many different civilizations.C. The First Americans of the Southwest learned to irrigate the desert.D. They would have to survive in the New World they had discovered.E. They built boats of animal skins and hunted or fished for their food.F. People living near each other tended to share similar environmentsand customs.G. They discovered how to add to the caves by building structures ofwood and stone.7.Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking?To a certain degree,it’ sa matter of logic — of being able to spot weakness in other people’ arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking—the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas.___1____ The greatest thinkers, scientists and inventors have often taken informationthat was readily available and put it together differently to produce newideas. That, too, is critical thinking.___2___ As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend agreat deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like apurely mechanical(机械的 ) exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chancesare that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the otherhand, the structure is clear, there is good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. __3____What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking.___4___ As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language,you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately.___5___ As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class,you will be able to develop your skills as a critical thinker in many circumstances.This is one reason public speaking has been regarded as a vital part of education since the days of ancient Greece.A. Rather, it is an important part of shaping the ideas themselves.B. This may seem like a lot of time, but the rewards are well worth it.C. It may also help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfectspeech.D. It has often been said that there are few new ideas in the world, onlyreorganized ideas.E. If you are wondering what this has to do with your public speakingclass, the answer is quite a lot.F. The skills you learn in your speech class can help you become a moreeffective thinker in a number of ways.G. As you study the role of evidence and reasoning in speechmaking, you will see how they can be used in other forms of communication.8.ShopaholismThe word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs.1Some people are compulsive shoppers. Others find it impossibleto pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.2Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it’ s more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics.They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things thatthey don ’ t need. Even though they don’ t have enough money, they buy everything they want.The question is: why do they have this addic tion?There isn’ ta specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried,upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as away to forget their problems.Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something.3Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring outproblems. Some of them can be psychological. If this is the case, peopleaddicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them breakthis habit.However,the process, like for most addictions,is long,and they suffer a lot.4They just think about satisfyingtheir feelings, so they spend money they don’5 t have.A. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of.B. Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.C. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.D. However in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.E. People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways toamuse themselves.F. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and getsent to prison.G. It can also cause financial problems.9.FlavoringMost drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored (水果味道的) containno fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, accordingto a study carried by the British Food Commission.“ Shoppers need to check the labels ( 标签) before buying drinks,though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,” said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove.“ Food production is highly competitive.1It will increase profits,and consumers won ’ talways realize they are being tricked.”Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products suchas fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products thatdo not have the desired flavors.Researchers analyzed the contents of28strawberry-flavored products sold in stores.2Of the11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less thanone percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearlyeight teaspoons of sugar.3Let ’ stake jam as an example. Some strawberry -flavored jamwas labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners,but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.4Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what theyhave bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial fl avoring.“ Describing aproduct as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet withpictures of strawberries is misleading.5Unfortunately,it is alsolegal and widespread,” Tokelove said.“ It’ s time to take measures to protect the consu mers ’ rights.”A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.B. Even products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.C. They found that about 60 percent of them didn ’ t contain any fruit at all.D. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likelyto do so.E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount offlavoring in the products.F. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberryor even no fruit at all.G. The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a productshould be listed on the packaging.1. GECBA2. BDFCA3. ECGDA4. BCEAD5. CBDAF6. DBEGC7. DEAFG8. DBCGF9. DCBGF。

However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water.Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements(代替物)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.24.
