1 高考七选五专项练习
高考英语新型阅读七选五题型解题策略 该题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握，并具备运用语法知识分析理解长难句的能力。可以说，此题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试，因此在要求上远远高于这两种题型，考生有必要对这类题型的答题思路多练习，以提高自己在这个部分的应试能力。 7选5的考察要点 这一考查题型对阅读理解提出了更高层次的要求，即不仅要有阅读速度，要对所读文章的主旨要义、具体信息要有所了解，尤其重要的是要掌握作者的写作意图、观点，区分出论点和论据，并且能够把握文章的写作结构和脉络层次，只有了解了这一切，才能比较准确地确定应该选择哪个选项。 不过，只要了解了这种新题型所考查的要点，出题位置，在阅读文章时有意识地加强对文章写作思路和结构组织安排的理解，掌握英语文章常见的几种写作结构，对迅速增强此类新题型的应对能力还是非常有帮助的。 1)出题位置 (a)句子(段首，段中，段尾 ，缺1句或1个以上的句子) (b)段落(一般是一段) 该节分为两个部分：主干部分和选项部分。主干部分的原文约300词，其中有5段空白处，空白处的位置可能在段首、段中、段未，但不会是文章的第一句，一般情况下也不会是最后一句。选项部分为7个句子，其中5句分属于主干部分的空白处。要求考生依据自己对文章的理解从选项中选择5个句子放回到文章中相应的5段空白处。 2)出题数量 非等额选项(题目5道，7个选项) 3) 文章结构 (a)描述性结构(主要介绍事物、问题或倾向的特点，对人物的描述如传记，包括人身体特征、家庭背景、成长过程、个性爱好、成就贡献等内容进行描述，因此时间、地点往往是出题重点) (b)释义性结构(解释某一理论、学科、事物，主要用例子比喻类比阐述) 2 (c)比较性结构(把两个人或事物功能、特点、优缺点进行对比)
(d)原因性结构(这种结构主要分析事物的成因，客观的、主观的、直接的、间接的) (e)驳斥性结构(这种结构主要是先介绍一种观点，然后对其评论或驳斥，然后分析其优点缺点、危害性、最后阐明自己的观点) 7选5的解题步骤 1)快速阅读全文要点词句，包括首尾段、首尾句以及独立成段的句子和文章中带转折词的句子等，目的是掌握文章的主要内容。 但是由于文章中空缺了五处，而且有的地方空缺的是几句话甚至是一整段，文章的整个结构和逻辑是被打断了的，因此在短时间内掌握文章要点或逻辑思路是很困难的。因此这一步可能对很多考生来说会花费很多时间。如果感觉困难而且收获不大，可直接进入第二步，即一开始就边阅读边分析做题。 2)边读边做题，重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨、各个段落之间的逻辑关系应基本清楚了。 3)重新阅读相关词句，重点做刚才没做出的题或不确定的题，此时可将已选出的答案代入原文，利用排除法。同时检查核对已选出的答案，看文章从内容上是否语义连贯合理，语篇结构上是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切。如果所选的答案可以满足上述标准，则表明各个问题的答案基本正确。 4. 7选5的解题策略 1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。 2)从词汇上锁定线索 3 做题时很重要的一点是保持对一些线索词的敏感，最主要的线索特征词是空白前后的名词和动词，寻找答案
时注意在选项中查找同义词、近义词、反义词或表示同一类事物的词语等。其次是代词、数词、表示时间/年代的词、地点/名称等专有名词等。尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下，利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法。 3)从关联词上查找 由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡，使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯，因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索。关于这样的路标性信号词请详见下一节文章段落的语段特征之"连贯性"一部分。 在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来。例如，在看到表示并列或递进关系的关联词时，一般表示前后句子的名词或句意具有同指性；而表示转折让步关系的词则往往表示前后句子的名词同指，但句意对立，或褒贬对立或肯否对立；而表示例证关系的词则意味着在举例之前或之后有表述概念或某一观点的句子，往往会有复数名词出现。 根据试题所在的不同位置确定不同的解题策略 1)如果问题在段首 (a)通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。 (b)与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。比如，如果选项中出现时间年代时，往往要注意与原文中年代的前后对应关系。 (c)段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。 2)如果问题在段尾 (a)空白前的一句或两句是重点语句，重点阅读以锁定关键词。 (b)通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。 4 (c)与前文是转折或对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容
是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。 (d)与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下，通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节，因此根据段落一致性原则，在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词，通常在选项中会出现表示并列/递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他信号线索。前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句，通常会找到关键的线索词句。 (e)所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。 (f)如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。 3)如果问题是一整个自然段 (a)这个段落应该是承上启下，而且自成一体，即有一个段落的中心，因此可重点阅读选项中较长的选项，以此类推直至找到正确答案。 (b)着重阅读前一段结尾和后一段开头的一两句查找相关的线索，而且重要线索通常会在后一段开头，因此后一段开头往往比前一段结尾更为重要。 (c)分析段落之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性，注意段落间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文，如果前后内容连贯，符合逻辑，就能得出正确答案。
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。 第一篇： _71_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays. The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. _72_ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless. Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. _73_ All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you. _74 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages. At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret! 5 Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can speed a
lot of time making them. 75 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it. So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do! A. That’s easy. B. Enjoy your own club! C. Invite a designer to join you. D. What are you interest in? E. Some vacation is just around the corner. F. Then you need to pick a name for your club. G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.

Here are five top skills to help you study efficiently.Manage your timeTo make sure you have time for studying throughout your week, schedule study into your routine. 2 . In this way, you can give priority to studying and ensure that your time is productive.Take smart notes3 , taking notes is more than just a repetition of the things you are hearing or reading. You may not need to take notes on everything. Listening to things that the instructor says is important.Create a mind mapYou can use a mind map as a way of taking notes or to organize and summarize them. This will help you see the relationships between each one, and which ideas are more important.4After taking notes, repeat aloud what you have just studied. Then explain the concept in your own words. By lecturing yourself, you include hearing as well as seeing. Using your own voice and words helps make the information more meaningful to you.Ask questionsWhile you are reading or listening, write down any questions that come to mind and look for answers. If you find answers, make a note of them. If you find gaps in your knowledge without ready answers, take a little time to research and see if you can find the information. 5 .Now, start implementing these tips and see how your study change for the better.A．Join a lectureB．Lecture yourselfC．If you are going to form a good habit of taking notesD．Make a list of all the things you do each dayE．These will help you remember the things you have read or heardF．Whether you are listening to a lecture or reading a bookG．By developing good study habits, you will work more efficiently in the learning processHow to Increase the Quality of Y our LifeHave you reached a point where things are OK, but not very exciting? If so, then it is time to do something to increase the quality of your life.When you lead a dull life, it is great to think about something that takes you into another world. 6 If you love to read, devote time to just sitting with a book and losing yourself in an imaginary world.7 You will feel a sense of achievement that will boost your self-image. A great way is to join a class. Not only will you learn, but you will make new friends. Whether it’s learning a foreign language or playing a musical instrument, there will be a class near your home.Life-style experts are promoting the idea of taking a 30-day challenge. Motivate yourself to achieve something in 30 days. 8 You could commit to losing weight, or train to run a marathon—well, maybe a half-marathon!One of the best ways of creating positivity is to help others. You might offer to help in a shop or to do some gardening for an older person. Not only do you feel good about yourself, but others will benefit from your involvement. 9Life is full of hope and happiness. You are lucky to be alive. Make the most of the years you have on Earth, and don’t waste them being negative. 10 Be positive, and be happy. A．Unless you take the challenge.B．Hobbies provide you something different that you enjoy.C．Giving a hand to those in need is welcome in any society.D．Following the advice will help increase the quality of your life.E．Doing that will make you feel that you have something to offer the world.F．Once it has been completed, nothing can benefit you in the future than that.G．Learning a new skill is considered one of the most satisfying things you can do.In the journey of life, there’s an often ignored hero — labor. Yes, that’s right, good old-fashioned hard work. Whether it’s mowing lawns, babysitting, or washing dishes, the act of laboring not only fills pockets but also shapes characters and molds futures.Let’s face it, we live in a world where instant satisfaction is the norm (标准). But what if we told you that delaying that satisfaction and putting in some good, honest sweat can actually be beneficial? It’s true! 1112 Imagine a teenager tasked with mowing lawns for a summer job. Suddenly, they’re responsible for showing up on time, doing a thorough job, and managing their earnings. These are life skills that no classroom lecture can match.Moreover, labor breeds (培养) perseverance. 13 Instead of throwing in the towel, they persevere, learning from each setback and growing stronger in the process. This perseverance becomes a cornerstone (基石) for success in all aspects of life.But perhaps the most profound impact of labor is its ability to foster empathy and appreciation. 14 As teenagers serve meals to the less fortunate, they gain a newfound perspective on privilege and gratitude. Suddenly, that new smartphone doesn’t seem as important as lending a helping hand to those in need.In conclusion, labor isn’t just about earning a paycheck but it’s also about shaping character and building a foundation for success. So, the next time you see a teenager sweating it out on a hot summer day, remember — 15A．Labour is significantly beneficial to health.B．Take, for instance, volunteering at a local soup kitchen.C．labor isn’t just about earning money and training skills.D．First, labor gradually acquires a sense of responsibility.E．Imagine a young adult facing rejection after rejection while job hunting.F．they’re not just mowing lawns, they’re paving their path to a brighter future.G．The process of laboring teaches invaluable lessons that textbooks simply can’t convey.When you were at school, were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate? It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren’t interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. 16 But understanding how to do it, and knowing what isdistracting you, can help.Scientists have looked at what prevents us from maintaining focused and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. 17 Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration. It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand.Another possible cure for a short attention span is brain training. An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says that “Attention Researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.” 18There are more practical tips to keeping your mind focused. 19 It’s possible the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted.20 “If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. Distraction is vital for survival.”A．These include making a list of the tasks, finding a focused workspace, or chewing some gum! B．So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer.C．An effective way to improve concentration is to avoid silent environment.D．Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life.E．But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn’t all bad.F．One of the most obvious things is eliminating noise.G．Therefore, we should always strive to eliminate distractions.参考答案：1．G 2．D 3．F 4．B 5．E【导语】本文是一篇说明文。

This helps us decide what to wear. 1 . We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. 2 .The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. 3 .First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.4 .Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.5 .As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.A.We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other thingsin our daily lives.B.Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same waywhen they are heated or cooled.C.Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.D.The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water willexpand and rise even higher.E.They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100degrees.F.Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal 把..粘住) them together.G.People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around theworld.第七篇：_ 1 _ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club．It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays．The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club． _2 _ Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things?

Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.73 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.

However, that study was based on self-reported data, which this latest study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found to be flawed due to people misremembering their actual activity levels.Taking a more objective approach, scientists at the Norwegian School of Sports Medicine based their research on the use of activity monitors to track exercise versus sedentary time. The results showed that participants who exercised 35 minutes per day saw the biggest statistical difference on life span. Yet just 11 minutes of moderate exercise — equivalent to a brisk walk — still had a noticeabl e positive impact. 33．Here is a way to consider—4 sets of a 3-minute body-weight exercise sequence.

All that’s required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of people in a crowd. Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their computers and other devices.63．It is convenient, easy to operate and it also relieves us of the need to memorize passwords.

Cutting down or stepping away from social media can give you an opportunity to connect in-person and participate in other activities that lift your mood. Communicating face-to-face is nature’s cure of stress. 4Reach out to others for guidance and support and let them know what you have been experiencing. 5 Having a safe outlet to express your emotions can help you cope with the distress and humiliation of being body shamed.A．Treat yourself with kindness and love.B．Don’t hide or isolate yourself from others.C．This type of criticism can be made to others or yourself.D．Shift your focus to the things that you like about yourself.E．Being physically active is also important for your overall health and well-being.F．It’s crucial to find someone you trust and feel comfortable sharing your feelings with.

At first, I was excited totoss everything out. But as the bedroom emptied out, I felt a creeping sense of sadness. My childhood was over, and I entered full-fledged (成熟的) adulthood. And I wondered: 6 In short, yes.7 That’s because going through your old stuff can possibly stir up difficult emotions or sweet memories. Whatever emotions pop up, accept them, and it will help you process it faster.Before you start sorting, determine how much storage space you’re willing to devote to your childhood items. 8 You may have limited space for old stuff. But listen to your heart. If you’re sentimental and you want to hold on to stuff, hold on to it.

If you manage risk intelligently, you can capture the benefits of high-risk opportunities while leaving yourself a safety net.Taking action is the best way to reduce fear and build confidence. As soon as you do, you’ll begin accumulating experience and knowledge. 14 .
