命题分析
阅读七选五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，对连贯性，一致性等语段特征有较强大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，七选五题型是对语言能力和阅读理解能力的综合测试。
近三年课标卷七选五多选用说明文体,主题语境涵盖人与自我、人与社会、人与自然;设题位置以段中为主,兼顾段首和段末,重点考查细节句,其次为过渡句和主题句。
秒选技能
（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，正确理解了这些句子后，根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词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
做保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的，要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。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）从关联词作为切入点
通常，英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接，让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯，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。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。以下四类为常用的关联词，请大家一定要背熟：
①并列与递进：and, or, also，neither… nor…, either…or…,likewise, similarly, equally, in the same way, that is to say ,as well as, the same „as, besides, additionally, furthermore, moreover, in addition to ,what is more
②因果：because, for, since, as, thus, hence, therefore, so, so…that, consequently, accordingly, due to, thanks to, as a result, because of, in that, for this reason, of course
③转折让步：but, however, yet, on the contrary, by contrast, on the other hand, unfortunately, while, whereas, unlike, rather than, instead of, it is true that, of course, although, though, even though, even if, nevertheless, despite, in spite of
④时间顺序：afterwards, at first, at last, finally, first, firstly, in the first place, to start with，in the meantime, last, later, next, second, secondly, then, third, thirdly, to begin with以及一些具体的时间。

· 39
Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends' birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.

If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do you do for a living?”, you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking to. ___37___, it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation. ___38___? If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox （讲台）. If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation.___39___.And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment（赞扬）. ___40___.

Passage 1
（2023·江苏·统考二模）“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” This is a piece of wise advice from Warren Buffet, arguably one of the greatest financial minds of the 21th century. 1 This is true especially in the present economic climate.
While the idea of being frugal(节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the ease of purchasing has led to increased consumerism for many across the country. Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, which is forcing people to reevaluate their priorities while spending money. 2
The internet is flooded with advice on where one can save money as well as good opinions about how they should spend their money. For example, clothes can be bought second-hand, but you should never skip a visit to the dentist. 3 In the meanwhile, you should limit those that are fancy but not entirely necessary. Of course, it is still fine to occasionally spend money on a nice vacation, but buying thirty pairs of shoes you will only wear a few times is neither responsible nor sustainable.
Hopefully, we all fully understand at this point that the resources on the earth are indeed limited. 4 As a result, the choice (forced or not) to be frugal is not only good for one’s wallet, but also beneficial to the planet in the long run. Have you ever chosen to starve yourself to get a pair of limited-edition sneakers? 5
A．A continuous growth model on this planet is by no means sustainable.
B．These words have always not been taken seriously by young people.
C．They are meant to encourage people to buy more stuff than they need.
D．It makes sense to prioritize goods and services that directly affect your health.
E．It is no wonder then that being frugal is once again becoming a dominant trend.
F．Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart.
G．If so, it is high time you started making changes for yourself and for all humanity.
【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍21世纪年轻人的节俭观念。
1．【答案】 F
【解析】根据上文““If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.” This is a piece of wise advice from Warren Buffet, arguably one of the greatest financial minds of the 21th century. (“如果你买了不需要的东西，很快你就必须卖掉你需要的东西。”这是沃伦·巴菲特的一条明智建议，他可以说是21世纪最伟大的金融大亨之一。)”和下文“This is true especially in the present economic climate. (这是真的，尤其是在目前的经济环境下。)”和“While the idea of being frugal(节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the ease of purchasing has led to increased consumerism for many across the country. Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, which is forcing people to reevaluate their priorities while spending money. (虽然节俭的观念长期以来一直是东方文化的一部分，但中国最近的财富增长以及购买的便利性导致了全国许多人的消费主义加剧。然而，这种商品消费的增加推高了某些基本必需品的价格，如住房、交通和食品，这迫使人们在花钱时重新评估自己的优先事项。)”可知，这里表明现在年轻人的做法和巴菲特的观点是一致的。选项F“如今，许多年轻人似乎非常重视这些话。”和上文意思一致。故选F。
2．【答案】 E
【解析】根据上文“While the idea of being frugal(节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the ease of purchasing has led to increased consumerism for many across the country. Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, which is forcing people to reevaluate their priorities while spending money.

3．【答案】 D
【解析】根据上文“For example, clothes can be bought second-hand, but you should never skip a visit to the dentist. (例如，衣服可以买二手的，但你永远不应该错过看牙医的机会。)”可知，花钱的时候要先考虑健康。选项D“优先考虑直接影响你健康的商品和服务是有意义的。”和上文意思一致。故选D。
4．【答案】 A
【解析】根据上文“Hopefully, we all fully understand at this point that the resources on the earth are indeed limited. (希望在这一点上，我们都能充分理解地球上的资源确实是有限的。)”可知，这里提到地球上的资源确实是有限的。选项A“这个星球上的持续增长模式是不可持续的。”和上文意思一致。故选A。
5．【答案】 G
【解析】根据上文“Have you ever chosen to starve yourself to get a pair of limited-edition sneakers? (你有没有选择饿着肚子去买一双限量版运动鞋？)”可知，这里表明让人们自己从自身看有没有做到为了地球的可持续发展而努力。选项G“如果是这样的话，那就是你开始为自己和全人类做出改变的时候了。”和上文意思一致。故选G。
Passage 2
（2023·山东·烟台二中校联考模拟预测）Being an athletic person isn’t just determined by your gene pool. It’s a decision that you make every day to be a healthy, active person. While becoming an athletic individual may seem like an impossible task, it’s easily achievable with the proper steps.
1.Find a sport that interests you. Take steps to become an athletic person by finding a fun sport to play. 6 If you enjoy especially competitive games with a lot of running, consider soccer or rugby. If you enjoy strength-specific activities, try power lifting or wrestling. More aggressive people might be interested in hockey or boxing, while less aggressive people might have more fun swimming.
2.Join a local team. Sign up for a school or community team after you feel more comfortable in a certain sport.Playing on a community level helps you to pursue your athletic goals on a smaller level while also getting a better understanding of the sport. 7
3.Buy some clothes that give you more breathing room while you exercise. 8 Also, make sure you have comfortable shoes on whenever you exercise.
4.Develop an exercise schedule. Exercise for 30 minutes at least 5 days per week. 9 Being an athletic person won’t come overnight, and will require a lot of time, effort, and commitment. Mark your exercise plan on a calendar. Set a specific schedule for your workouts during the week. Not only will a schedule help you stay motivated, but it will be easier to ensure you exercise all of your major muscle groups. When you make out your schedule,include the type of exercise you want to do each day,such as aerobics, lifting, or leg presses.
5. 10 Take the time to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables each day. Include a variety of fresh foods in each meal to keep your body in tip-top shape for future athletic activities. Eat enough protein-rich foods. Protein can help keep your muscles,bones, and circulation in top condition. Purchase some multivitamins if you’re having difficulty consuming enough of the right nutrients per day. Choose multi-grains instead of processed breads.
A．Maintain a healthy diet.
B．Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
C．Running shorts are great options to consider.
D．Focus on an area of your body you’d like to improve.
E．Decide when you want to exercise each day, and how long.
F．Depending on your own personal interests and strengths, this decision could vary.
G．If you get especially interested in a certain sport, consider looking into professional training options.
【篇章导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何通过合适的步骤成为一名运动员。
6．【答案】 F
【解析】下文“If you enjoy especially competitive games with a lot of running, consider soccer or rugby. If you enjoy strength-specific activities,try power lifting or wrestling.

Passage 7
（2023·湖南岳阳·统考三模）Boundaries can be a frightening term, but they’re very simply the expectations and needs that help us feel safe and comfortable. Work is the relationship we spend the most time in, and yet it’s also the place where we have the hardest time setting limits. 31
Identify the boundaries you need to set. You can tell a colleague what hours you are and aren’t available and that you prefer to talk by phone rather than instant messaging. Especially with your bosses, you can show how you like feedback. For example, “I work best with clear deadlines. Can you please set one?” 32 For example, “It makes me feel uncomfortable when you share gossip at my desk.”
Think about when and how to make the statement. 33 You’d better set them as early as possible. That’s a beautiful way to show up in a new work environment with people already knowing what we can and can’t do. Moreover, it’s perfectly acceptable to set boundaries when you don’t feel good. If you get a headache when having five meetings in a day, tell yourself that four will be your maximum.
34 If you say you’re not available after six, don’t respond to the group chat. When you respond to emails or agree to look at that proposal out of those bounds, you’re teaching people that the boundary isn’t real, that it’s OK to violate it. Consistency is really key here. 35
A．Stick to the boundaries you set.
B．Don’t make response quickly.
C．Boundaries are like classroom rules.
D．Here are three steps to help you get started.
E．That might mean restating the boundary more than once.
F．You might be the inspiration that helps them set better boundaries.
G．You can even set boundaries on how you interact with people socially.
【篇章导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了帮助设立社交界限的三个步骤。
31．【答案】 D
【解析】根据上文“Boundaries can be a frightening term, but they’re very simply the expectations and needs that help us feel safe and comfortable. Work is the relationship we spend the most time in, and yet it’s also the place where we have the hardest time setting limits.(界限可能是一个可怕的术语，但它们非常简单，是帮助我们感到安全和舒适的期望和需求。工作是我们花时间最多的关系，但也是我们最难设定界限的地方)”结合后文说明了设立界限的步骤推知，空处指出有设定界限的方法。故D选项“这里有三个步骤来帮助你开始”符合语境，故选D。
32．【答案】G
【解析】根据后文“For example, “It makes me feel uncomfortable when you share gossip at my desk.”(例如，“当你在我的办公桌上分享八卦时，我感到很不舒服。”)”可知，后文的例子表明可以给自己和别人设立互动界限，故G选项“你甚至可以为自己与他人的社交互动设定界限”符合语境，故选G。
33．【答案】 C
【解析】根据后文“You’d better set them as early as possible.(你最好尽早把它们设置好)”推知，空处应陈为何要尽早设置好的原因。故C选项“界限就像课堂规则”符合语境，故选C。
34．【答案】 A
【解析】根据后文“If you say you’re not available after six, don’t respond to the group chat.  When you respond to emails or agree to look at that proposal out of those bounds, you’re teaching people that the boundary isn’t real, that it’s OK to violate it. Consistency is really key here.(如果你说你六点后没空，就不要回复群聊。当你回复邮件或同意看那些超出界限的提案时，你在告诉人们界限是不真实的，违反它是可以的。坚持是关键)”可知，本段的主旨是坚持设定的界限，A选项中Stick to与后文Consistency相对应。故A选项“坚持你设定的界限”符合语境，故选A。
35．【答案】 E
【解析】根据上文“Consistency is really key here.(坚持是关键)”可知，上文强调了坚持自己的边界，可知本句应承接上文说明这么做的意义：意味着要不止一次地重申边界。故E选项“这可能意味着要不止一次地重申边界”符合语境，故选E。
Passage 8
（2023·河北衡水·河北衡水中学校考模拟预测）
Work from Anywhere Movement
For a lot of us, working from wherever we wanted was a bit of a dream. It would mean we’d be able to visit family and not take holiday days. But suddenly that “dream” of not working in the office became a reality for many. Working from home over the last years has proven that it isn’t always necessary for teams to physically be together and there is more flexibility. 36
An obvious benefit for many employers is reduced costs. With a widespread workforce, there’s no need to have an office big enough for everyone. They also save on travel costs, as meetings that once “needed” to be done face-to-face can now be done online. 37 With the work from anywhere movement, employers can hire global talents. They’re not restricted to people living nearby.
38 In an ever changing and developing working world, offering benefits like this could be what makes a company stand out from another for a specific candidate.
For many employees, working from anywhere supports mental health. 39 Imagine ending a particularly stressful meeting. Rather than going back to your office desk, you step out your door and have a coffee in the sun or walk along a beach. In Addition, working from anywhere allows you to have a better work-life balance. It lets you travel to see family, watch your daughter’s soccer game, and go to the little bakery—all while being paid. 40
A．But it’s not only about money.
B．However, every coin has two sides.
C．It decreases stress and other concerns.
D．Your time is spent on the things that matter.
E．There are a lot of benefits for companies and workers.
F．Offering remote job positions makes a company more competitive.
G．Offices are increasingly where you go to put the company into company.

37．【答案】 A
【解析】根据本段首句“An obvious benefit for many employers is reduced costs.  (对许多雇主来说, 一个明显的好处是降低成本)”说明的是好处不仅仅在钱方面，对于公司招揽人才也是有利的，本段主旨是降低开销，因此A项“但这不仅仅是钱的问题。”符合语境，故选A。
38．【答案】 F
【解析】下文“In an ever changing and developing working world, offering benefits like this could be what makes a company stand out from another for a specific candidate. (在一个不断变化和发展的工作世界里，提供这样的福利可能会让一家公司在特定的候选人中脱颖而出。)”中的“offering benefits like this”， this与F选项“offering remote job positions(提供远程工作岗位)”匹配，因此F项“提供远程工作岗位使公司更具竞争力。”符合语境，故选F。
39．【答案】 C
【解析】上文“For many employees, working from anywhere supports mental health. (对许多员工来说，在任何地方工作都有助于心理健康。)”说明的是心理健康的好处，因此C项“这能减少压力和其他顾虑”符合语境，故选C。
40．【答案】 D
【解析】上文“In Addition, working from anywhere allows you to have a better work-life balance.

(此外，在任何地方工作都可以让你更好地平衡工作与生活。它可以让你去看望家人，看女儿的足球比赛，去小面包店，所有这些都是在带薪状态下完成的。)”说明远程办公对家庭关系以及家人重要事情的好处，因此D项“你的时间花在重要的事情上” 是对上文例子的总结，符合语境，故选D。
