高考英语复习专题五、阅读7选5解题技巧剖析(附强化训练及解析)
备战2020高考英语复习专题五、阅读7选5 解题技巧剖析命题方向点播：七选五是一类完成性阅读，在题型上和完形填空很类似，不同之处在于一完形填空是选词，而七选五是选句子。
七选五不仅考察同学们的阅读理解能力，更是考察了对文章结构的完整性的把握，在历年高考中都占了10分，是一个不可忽视的题目。
一、七选五解题方法：解题时，同学们要在理解文章整体的情况下，充分考虑语境和空格前后的句子，注意句子之间的逻辑联系，尤其要学会把握信息词（选项中出现的与文章中相同或相近的词），站在作者的写作立场，快速准确的选出最符合文章原意的答案。
具体可以分为以下步骤：1.快速浏览选项，并勾画出选项中的关键词汇，比如：指示代词、连接词和转折词等。
2.回到短文，细读首段和空格前后的句子，分析句子，并联系上下文，了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。
3.当我们了解文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整个句子还是半个句子，这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围。
比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到的是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。
4.明确关联关系，任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。
5.带入通读，复查。
做完题目切忌直接离开，七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，所以，当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其他空。
二、题型分类解析。
七选五题型可以大致分为以下三类：1、指代关系类；2、逻辑关系类；3、整体结构类。
三、代词类解题技巧。
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词等，常见的如：人称代词指代、同义词指代、近义词指代等。
巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
➢例题赏析：例1：（2019年高考全国卷1）Recently，people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). _____38_____to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green，growing things can reduce stress，lower blood pressure，and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us.F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.G解析：38. 选G 根据下一句中提到的可以推知，该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。
2020年高考英语重难点专练七 7选5(附答案解析)
重难点07 7选5【命题趋势】阅读理解七选五要求从短文后的七个选项中（均为完整的句子）选出五个能填入文章空处的最佳选项，主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。
其命题形式深受英语四六级和考研阅读多项选择题的影响，体现了《新课标》＂用英语获取、处理和运用信息的能力；逐步获取用英语思维的能力。
＂的阅读学习和教学理念。
该题型命题形式仍然具有客观题的特点，又与完形填空具有异曲同工之妙，只是选项少，以句子形式出现，考查目的和侧重点不完全相同而已。
从《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述＂主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。
＂可以得出以下判断：该题备选项可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。
其多余的两个干扰项也往往从这三方面进行设置，例如主旨概括句或过于宽泛或以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构，注释性句子与上文脱节等。
文章体裁以说明文为主，语篇模式较为固定：提出问题——提供解决方案。
文章题材较为固定：与学生的日常生活学习紧密相关。
【满分技巧】【解题步骤1】在高考的现场如果考生用大量的时间来彻底读懂文章的意思其实是不现实的，也是没有必要的，我们可以尝试以下四步走。
1.先读文章的开始部分，明确文章的基本话题，然后仔细阅读五个空各自的前后句寻找并画出关键词。
【巧学妙记】（一名(名词)袋（代词）鼠（数次）很特殊（特殊疑问词），连（连词）蹦（动词）带跳很彪（标点/标题）悍。
）2.要对文章中出现的衔接手段保持敏感度。
衔接手段分为三种：词汇衔接、逻辑衔接、结构衔接。
可按这几个原则判断原文的空与选项是否匹配。
3.一旦确定一个选项，就要在该选项上做出标记（例如可以删掉），以避免干扰和分散注意力。
4.将选项代入到文章中重读，依据行文逻辑，再次确定选项。
答题技巧细节类题型解题技巧(词汇的衔接或逻辑的衔接)1.词汇的衔接包括：（1)词汇复现复现，是保证文章前后衔接而经常使用的一种写作手段，即作者在文章上下文不同的位置对同一个概念进行重复描述。

They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine．(1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope．It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize．People know they need help when they mess up.

The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. (1)Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like. The color will also help you to enlarge the space or making it more inviting, which will also make differently all about it.However, the trick is to select the right version of that particular color. There are different hues (色调) for blues, for instance. (2) Here we have presented a guide that will let you gain a deep insight about the colors.Blue(3) For kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms it is an ideal choice. Of course it is also associated with sadness that means it may not strike note for each and everyone. It is a popular choice among people. Blue comes from the cold side of the color wheel, so it can make the room feel cold, unless and until it is south filling space. If you are attracted to blue color, think of going for purple, or mix red and purple.Dark blue is best for a living room. Probably it is best reserved for high ceiling space. (4)GreenLike blue, green is also a calm shade. (5) It is the shade that reflects nature and renewal. Green produces a positive energy without the feeling of over stimulation.A. Colors can light up the mood of the room.B. You can use it for a living room or a bedroom.C. They won't create similar effect and atmosphere generally.D. Traditionally, blue is just related to calmness and comfort.E. It is better that you select colors that are very warm like blue.F. Dark blue will really make you feel the wall appear near to you.G.

GHow to Rent Your HouseBefore handing the keys to your house over to a complete stranger for care，there are decisions you need to make．In fact，the decisions you make now，before searching for a tenant （房客），will make the biggest impact on the success of your rental．(1) What Condition Do You Want Your House in？There is no end to the amount of improving you can do to your house before renting it out．(2) When is good enough，good enough？A house should be clean，empty （unless you are offering it "furnished"，which is uncommon）and free from any major repairs at the time the tenant moves in．Remember，the home does not need to be as fancy as you would want it to be．(3) Tenants will generally never take as good care of your house as you do-so don't spend too much time or money making unnecessary upgrades that will only be ignored or broken．Should You Use a Property Manager？(4) If you have the time，abilities，and energy to manage yourself-you can save a good deal of money by doing so．However，if you try to manage without the ability-it could end up costing you much more than what a property manager might charge．How Much Can You Rent Your House for？Luckily，discovering what the monthly rent will bear for your house is not difficult．(5) In business，market research means to get out there and find out what others in your industry are charging；learning how much to charge for rent is no different．Your house will generally rent for about the same amount as other properties that are of similar location，size and condition．A．The problem becomes learning when to stop．B．No one wants to be a landlord with those problems．C．The following are some questions to answer before you rent out you house．D．Have a professional carpet cleaner clean the carpets before showing the property．E．Look around at other rentals in your area and try to see what the typical quality is．F．The best way to determine how much your house will rent for is to simply do market research．G．The decision about whether to manage yourself or hire a property manager cannot be made by anyone other than you．31.

GIf you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night，you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today．Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．(1) To keep yourself awake，some tips are worth trying in class．Sit in the front of the room．Why？(2) Besides，it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front．You'll also be near the people who are more likely to participate，and the sound of their voices might keep you awake．(3) Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture．This will help if you're tiredor discouraged by the content of the lecture，because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems．Talking will also keep you engaged and alert．It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3 questions per class．(4) For example，you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof．Could you explain it again in more detail？"Listen actively to the lesson．Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．(5) To effectively listen to your teacher，you should try to maintain eye contact，face the speaker，pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture．A．Participate in class activities．B．Develop interest in the subject．C．If so，classrooms can be boring because you're tired．D．Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible．E．To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic．F．You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily．G．Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．36.

GWhat's the purpose of building patience abilities？In a word，happiness．Better relationships，more success．But indeed it takes effort to build them successfully．(1) Thus，when the big ones come，we will have developed the patience we need for hard times．Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience．We，human beings，are still constructed with our old reptilian（爬行动物似的）brain that protects our physical and emotional survival．On the emotional survival side，we want our way to get ahead，to achieve，to "look good．" Let's just face it．(2) So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience-anger，impatience，blaming and shaming．We all have them．And we can grow beyond them．Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain．Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions-we try to change the other person，situation or thing that we think is causing our discomfort．But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that's the source of our pain，but how our mind is set．(3)Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts．Most of us don't really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest-but very present-painful feelings．(4) But to really care for ourselves，get curious about what's actually happening in the moment inside you．Focusing on what's actually happening，you can notice the worry of not wanting what 's happening，the resistance．(5) When you find yourself impatient，or angry with yourself，you can remind yourself that you are growing，and that，"Sure，this is understandable；this is what happens to me when I'm bothered．" You can say to yourself，" It's true．I don't like this；this is uncomfortable，but I can tolerate it．A．Practice positive self-talk．B．So the solution to pain is an inside job．C．Patience abilities benefit you in many ways．D．Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times．E．we ignore the fact that we're in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem．F．The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habit-forming．G．Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pains and annoyances．41.

GContinuous learning benefits us in many ways. First of all, it allows the increase in knowledge and ability in our career. For example, watching someone work can make us a better worker. (1) For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.What's more, continuous learning can open our mind. Having an open mind and willingness to take on new ideas can do wonders. First of all, it builds your attitude towardschange. (2) Second, when you take continuous learning into account, you can begin to understand how others feel about a particular issue.(3) They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover, they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren't always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specificgoal. (4) Once your goal is set, build a system to help support your strategy. You want to be looking for different sources of information, but also to be picky about it. In other words, try to learn within your specific field but ensure the information is coming from a trustworthy source. At the same time, do use tools to help improve your learning system. (5) Seminars (研讨会), workshops, and live classes are the tools that modern learners need as they make learning effective.A. Learning can improve other areas in our lives.B. Besides, learning can prepare us for the unexpected.C. If you're always learning, you are always improving.D. Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.E. Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.F. There're various tools to help you present information and learning.G. Knowing what you want to achieve can encourage you to keep learning.46. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G47. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G48. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G49. A. A B. B C. C D.

GSmart devices are sometimes powerful．They put a world of information at our fingertips．(1) That is a huge blessing for parents seeking flexible work hours．Smart phones and tablets can also promote efficiency by allowing people to get things done in spare moments that would otherwise be wasted，such as while queuing for coffee．They can even help lazybones create the false impression that they are working around the clock，by programming their e-mail to be sent at 1 am．But for most people，the servant has become the master．Not long ago only doctors were on call all the lime．Now everybody is．Bosses think nothing of invading their employees' free time．(2) Even people with strong mind check their smart devices with heavy addiction，even during pre-dinner drinks，and send e-mails first thing in the morning and last thing at night．(3) How can we harvest the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves？One solution is digital dieting．Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits，(4) Maybe the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act together rather than individually．The firms should introduce rules about when people are expected to be offline，and encourage them to work together to make this possible．We must be aware that the faster smart devices become and the more addictive the apps that are designed for them，the stronger the addiction will grow．(5)A．This is partly because smart devices are addictive．B．Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office．C．Now it's time to outsmart the smart devices by insisting that everyone turn them off from time to lime．D．the abundance of junk information means we have to be more disciplined about our browsing habits．E．Banning texting at weekends can really show the iPhone who is boss．F．They enable people to work at home instead of crowding into the subway with smelly strangers．G．What can be done to keep smart devices in their place？51.

GHow to revise for a testStudying for tests may be one of the most difficult parts of school． (1) If you feel discouraged about an approaching test and need some directions for preparing yourself，consider using the following suggestions to help you out．Aim foremost to understand the concepts．Keep the important points in mind，and ignore unnecessary information． (2)Ask for help．When the need arises，it is best to receive help from the others． (3) You could also ask him/her for a set of questions and answers that could help you memorize the information．You could also ask a family member or a friend for help．Practice in everyday life．Fit reviewing into everyday life by sticking up notes with sentences you need to remember for the test written upon them． (4) You could possibly put one on the bathroom mirror，one at the table and another by the TV．This is optional but highly recommended．(5)Find out how much you remember certain things and what's missing．Decide what you did well in and what you did not so well in．This may boost your chances of getting more marks in the assessment and may also help you remember for next time．For instance，if you are struggling on maths problems based on geometry，then put this down as something that you need to review more than the subjects you are good at．Review often but little．Do not push yourself and try reviewing everything in one day．Practice takes time and if you rush，you won't remember anything．A. Go through what you have been learning．B. Mark your practice tests．C. As long as you remain focused on the main topics，you will be able to do well on the test．D. However，even the worst test performance could be turned around into a successful attempt．E. It can be difficult to remember the material and understand which points to study．F. You will notice them every day and reviewing won't seem to be boring or dull．G. Ask your teacher to summarize the topic with all the important points．56. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G57. A. A B.

GVitamin D is necessary for bone-building，immune （免疫）function，blood sugar control ，positive mood and more．(1) The lower your vitamin D level is，the higher your risk of death from any cause will be．However，it's not a great idea to just take a supplement （补品）off the drugstore shelf and start taking it．Since many of us have an inadequate amount vitamin D，also known as the sunshine vitamin" ，doctors will often give us high levels of D supplements，with closes ranging from2，000 to 10，000 I（International Units）per day，up to 50，000 IU per week and sometimes even more．(2) Very big doses （剂量）of vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium （钙）in the blood，which leads to poor appetite，weakness，weight loss or other diseases．Here's the bigger issue；(3) A build-up of stored vitamin D can cause avoidable problems，leading to problems such as kidney （肾）stones．(4) The National Institutes of Health set the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitaminD at 600 IU daily for babies，children，and adults up to 70 years old．Adults aged 71 and older need 800 IU，since the ability to absorb vitamin D drops with age．Because the fat cells take vitamin D up，making it less available for use by the body，(5)Though you'll get a bit of vitamin D from foods - including fatty fish，beef liver，cheese，milk and so on - the amounts are so small that there's little need to worry that they'll put you ，over the daily dose．A．It can help prevent many diseases．B．We can actually reduce the risk of death．C．people who are fat may also need more vitamin D．D．any extra intake of vitamin D can get stored in the body．E．But like all good things，it's possible to get too much of it．F．The average daily recommended amounts vary based on your age．G．Vitamin D should be supplemented carefully despite its importance．61.

They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine ． (1) .So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce( 加强 ) the behavior that they want repeated — in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope． (2) , in a position where the whale can't help but do what's expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it's given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. (3) . Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope． It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn't starve ．(4) . Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize ． People know they need help when they mess up.
