阅读七选五不但要求考生扎实地掌握词汇和句子、语段和语篇等方面的知识,而且要求考生具备综合分析能力和辨证的逻辑思维能力。这种题型的语篇的主线通常都很清晰,且通常都是具有明确的逻辑关系的说明文。该题型的文章中设有五个空,而对应的选项有七个,其中有两个选项为干扰性错误选项。这七个选项通常包括主旨句、过渡性句子、细节注释性句子三类。主旨句主要以标题类和主题句为主,过渡性句子通常涉及文章结构,细节注释性句子主要涉及上下文逻辑意义。因此考生需要根据文章结构、内容选出正确的选项。

2016~2019年全国卷阅读七选五命题分析
（续表）
分析上面的表格,可以看出这几年高考考查阅读七选五有以下特点:全国卷中的阅读七选五要求考生明确、深刻地理解一篇文章,对文章的结构有所了解,把握住文脉,即句与句、段与段之间的逻辑关系。此题型的文章中有五处空白,采用完整句子(2019年全国Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ卷)或者分句(2018年全国Ⅰ卷)的模式。在阅读过程中,如果不明白文章的主旨、段落主题和作者的写作意图,就很难顺畅地读下去、读明白,自然就很难选出正确答案。而填错一个空势必又影响另外一个空的选择。另外,这种题型提供七个选项,而有两个选项是多余的干扰选项,这提高了做题的难度。高考阅读七选五以说明文为主,但考试中心在2018年全国Ⅲ卷采用记叙文,考生需要认真对待。
Passage 1[2019·全国Ⅰ]Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.”　36　 According to recent studies,the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good. 
A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.B.So what are you waiting for?C.Being in nature refreshes us.D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F.Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.G.All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.
36.E　根据本段第1句“人们总是让我们出去呼吸新鲜空气”和该空后的 “回答是肯定的”可知,此处应填入一个疑问句,即“新鲜空气果真如妈妈总说的那样好吗?”。
　37　 If the air you're breathing is clean—which it would be if you're away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving,energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors,your body will learn to breathe more deeply,allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉)and your brain. 　
A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.B.So what are you waiting for?C.Being in nature refreshes us.D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F.Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.G.All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.
37.A　文章开头讲述了新鲜空气对人有好处,那接下来应该介绍具体的好处。空白处应是本段的总起句,A项更符合常识以及本段大意。
Recently,people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). 　38　 In these places patients can go 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. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. 　39　 It gives us a great feeling of peace. 
38.G　由该空后的In these places可知,空白处应该包含地点;而且该空前提到研究人员在研究自然环境和疾病治愈之间的关系,G项符合语境。
39.C　该空前描述了接近大自然的患者可能康复更快,再结合该空后的“这给了我们极大的平静”可知,此处应为总结句,因此选C项。
A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.B.So what are you waiting for?C.Being in nature refreshes us.D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F.Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.G.All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.
本文主要讲述了到户外呼吸新鲜空气对人体的各种好处。
　40　 While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D. 
40.D　该空后一句提到,尽管太阳光线会使人的皮肤老化、受损,但也能提供有益人体的维生素D。由此可知,空白处应该与太阳光线有关,故选D项。
A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.B.So what are you waiting for?C.Being in nature refreshes us.D.Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E.But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F.Just as importantly, we tend to associate fresh air with health care.G.All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.
Passage 2[2019·全国Ⅱ]Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question:“Should I jump?” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. 　36　 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided. 
36.G　空白处前一句讲的是动机和设定目标的关系,而后一句提到“像在跳板上拿不定主意的孩子一样”,由此可知,G项符合语境,即没有动机也就无法设定目标。
A.This can affect your work.B.So how should you motivate yourself?C.However, this should not discourage you.D.So why should we try to set specific goals?E.They can change according to circumstances.F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G.Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
　37　 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires,etc. Only then should you set your goals.
37.B　上一段阐述了动机和设定目标的关系,强调了动机的重要性,本段进一步讲如何激励自己并保持动力来实现目标。B项起着承上启下的作用。
A.This can affect your work.B.So how should you motivate yourself?C.However, this should not discourage you.D.So why should we try to set specific goals?E.They can change according to circumstances.F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G.Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. 　38　 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity (清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward. 
38.A　空白处前一句讲的是有时候你的心思会不在工作上,这当然会影响你的工作,A项符合上下文语境。
A.This can affect your work.B.So how should you motivate yourself?C.However, this should not discourage you.D.So why should we try to set specific goals?E.They can change according to circumstances.F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G.Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible. 　39　 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals. 
39.E　空白处前一句提到目标是灵活的,E项They can change according to circumstances与之相呼应。
A.This can affect your work.B.So how should you motivate yourself?C.However, this should not discourage you.D.So why should we try to set specific goals?E.They can change according to circumstances.F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G.Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 　40　 You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
A.This can affect your work.B.So how should you motivate yourself?C.However, this should not discourage you.D.So why should we try to set specific goals?E.They can change according to circumstances.F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G.Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
40.C　空白处之前讲的是个人情况对目标的影响,C项符合语境,起着承上启下的作用。
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.  
本文主要介绍了动机和目标的关系以及如何激发动机并设定切实可行的目标。
Passage 3[2019·全国Ⅲ]In an online class, developing healthy patterns of communication with professors is very important. 　36　 While I have only listed two of each, there are obviously many other situations that can arise. Students should be able to extend the logic (逻辑) of each to their particular circumstance. 
36.E　文章首句提到在在线课堂中,与教授形成良好的交流是至关重要的,下文则详细介绍了Do's 和Don'ts的内容。由此可见,E项符合语境。
A.That's what they are for.B.Turn to an online instructor for help.C.If more information is needed, they will ask.D.Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.E.Below are some common do's and don'ts for online learners.F.Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.G.Ask questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.
Do's ·　37　 Questions about subject content are generally welcomed. Before asking questions about the course design, read the syllabus(教学大纲)and learning management system information to be sure the answer isn't hiding in plain sight. 
37.G　根据该空后的关键词Questions可知,只有G项符合语境。
A.That's what they are for.B.Turn to an online instructor for help.C.If more information is needed, they will ask.D.Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.E.Below are some common do's and don'ts for online learners.F.Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.G.Ask questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.
·Participate in discussion forums (论坛), blogs and other open-ended forums for dialogue. 　38　 Be sure to stay on topic and not offer irrelevant information. Make a point, and make it safe for others to do the same. 
38.A　根据本段第1句可知,要参加讨论论坛,加入博客讨论以及其他开放式的对话论坛,因为这些讨论形式就是让学生参与的。
A.That's what they are for.B.Turn to an online instructor for help.C.If more information is needed, they will ask.D.Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.E.Below are some common do's and don'ts for online learners.F.Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.G.Ask questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.
Don'ts ·Don't share personal information or stories. Professors are not trained nurses, financial aid experts or your best friends. If you are in need of a deadline extension, simply explain the situation to the professor. 　39　 
39.C　根据该空前一句可知,如果你想延迟截止日期,简明地向教授说明情况即可。C项符合语境。
A.That's what they are for.B.Turn to an online instructor for help.C.If more information is needed, they will ask.D.Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.E.Below are some common do's and don'ts for online learners.F.Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.G.Ask questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.
·Don't openly express annoyance at a professor or class.　40　 When a student attacks a professor on the social media, the language used actually says more about the student. If there is truly a concern about a professor's professionalism or ability, be sure to use online course evaluations to calmly offer your comments. 
本文主要介绍了参加在线课程时,如何与课程教授保持良好的沟通,以及一些“可做”与 “不可做”的事。
40.F　该空前一句提到,不要公开表达对教授或者班级的不满。由此推断,F项符合语境。
A.That's what they are for.B.Turn to an online instructor for help.C.If more information is needed, they will ask.D.Remember that online professors get a lot of emails.E.Below are some common do's and don'ts for online learners.F.Everyone has taken a not-so-great class at one time or another.G.Ask questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.
1.分析篇章结构。把握全文脉络是做阅读七选五的关键所在。考生要对文章的结构有所了解,把握全文脉络,理出文章的中心,搞清楚句与句、段与段之间的逻辑关系。2.把握写作思路。从语序上去发现断续点,理清层次。根据句子意思辨别出句子间的关系,如承接、并列、递进关系等。3.理解句子与句子之间的关系。重点关注句子与句子之间的关联词、逻辑性插入语,结合段落中的连接词做出判断。

微专题 01 阅读七选五之解题技法
第一步:看位置,定类型　　句子在段中的位置不同,所起的作用也不同。命题人采用段首、段中和段尾三种设空方式,是为了利用设空位置的暗示作用和设空处上下文的提示作用来考查考生的逻辑思维能力。段首、段中、段尾题在文中所起的作用见下表:

[2018·全国Ⅱ,40]●_________ If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices. 
A.You will stick to your diet.B.Your quality of sleep improves.C.You prefer healthy food to fast food.D.There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.E.You can keep your head clear for 4-10 hours after exercise.F.After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.G.If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
A　设空处位于段首,应是该段落的主题句。本空后一句的主要内容是“如果晨练,你就更有可能会坚持一整天吃健康的食物”,故该段的主旨是“坚持健康饮食”;再由本段中的healthy food、junk food与A项中的diet相关可知,本空选A项。
第二步:由类型,定技法考法1　主旨概括题 主旨概括题主要考查考生对文章或段落进行概括的能力,它要求考生在阅读文章时,能够体会作者的写作意图,充分运用概括能力提取文章的主题、观点以及领会作者的情感态度。这类题常以考查段落标题或主题句为主,设题位置一般在段首,有时总结性的语句也会出现在段中或段尾。这类题有时也会考查整篇文章的主旨大意,即文章的主题句,一般会在首段设空。概括起来讲,命题人通常从两个方面设题:①概括文章或段落的主题句或结论性语句;②段落标题。 解答主旨概括题通常采用浏览的方式,即重点搜索本段的主题线索词并快速理清主旨大意,然后浏览选项,准确判定出与段落主旨大意相匹配的选项。
[2018·全国Ⅱ,39]_______Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited. 
A.You will stick to your diet.B.Your quality of sleep improves.C.You prefer healthy food to fast food.D.There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.E.You can keep your head clear for 4-10 hours after exercise.F.After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.G.If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
B　设空处位于段首,应为本段主题句。主题句一般是对上文或下文内容的总结,快速浏览本段可知,本段说的是晨练比晚上锻炼更能改善睡眠质量,再结合B项内容可知B项符合题意。
B　设空处位于段首,应为本段主题句。主题句一般是对上文或下文内容的总结,快速浏览本段可知,本段说的是晨练比晚上锻炼更能改善睡眠质量,再结合B项内容可知B项符合题意。
考法2　语段过渡题 语段过渡题所涉及的句子是过渡句,具有承上启下的作用,该题型主要考查考生对篇章的理解能力和对上下文之间逻辑关系的分析能力。其设空位置比较灵活,可位于段尾、段首或段中。解这类题通常可采用位置判断法。 如果设空处位于段首,要前瞻后望找提示,即阅读上一段结尾部分,通常正确答案与之衔接,并结合本段内容,看所选的答案是否能将两段内容连接起来。 如果设空处位于段中,重点阅读设空处的前一句和后一句,找出它们之间的逻辑关系或根据意义的连贯性得出答案;如果还没有把握,可以再分析该段的中心句。 如果设空处位于段尾,在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联时,可考虑与下一段开头之间的衔接。仔细阅读下一段开头几句,看是否能与所选选项紧密连接起来。
[2018·全国Ⅰ,39]Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves.________. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space. 
G　设空处在段中,所填句子应是过渡句。本空下一句提到中等物品颜色的选择和小物品颜色的选择存在不同的两个方面:一是花费,二是对空间感觉的影响。G项中的two major ways与此相呼应。
A.While all of them are usefulB.Whatever you're looking forC.If you're experimenting with a colorD.Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar withE.It's not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF.So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first timeG.Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
考法3　细节线索题 细节线索类的试题要求考生更加注重文章中的细节,比如某个关键的单词或数字等。解答这类试题经常用到的方法有词汇复现法、词汇同现法、代词线索法、逻辑关系线索法等。1.词汇复现法 复现法是保证文章前后衔接而经常使用的一种写作手段,即在文章中不同的位置对同一个概念进行重复描述,从而使得同样的意思在文章中不同的地方重复出现。复现的形式主要包括原词复现、同(近)义词复现、反义词复现等。考生可利用文章的这一特点,在解题时注意选项中出现的与正文中意思相同、相近或相反的词。
[2018·全国Ⅰ,38]________. They're the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable. 
D　解此题可运用词汇复现法。此空所在段最后一句中的small color choices是D项中Small color choices的原词复现,故选D项。
A.While all of them are usefulB.Whatever you're looking forC.If you're experimenting with a colorD.Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar withE.It's not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF.So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first timeG.Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
2.词汇同现法 词汇同现是指属于同一词汇范畴或者同一领域的词汇在文章中同时出现,达到语意衔接的目的。一般来说,上下文中词汇的范畴越小,上下文的衔接关系越紧密。
[2017·全国Ⅰ,38]I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.________ Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. 
A　解此题可运用词汇同现法。此空前面的部分说明了作者被说服参加另一次野营活动,而空后则说这次野营活动有舒服的床和空调,因此本空的论述应该是在“住宿”这一范畴内,几个选项中只有A项合适。
A.This time there was no tent.B.Things are going to be improved.C.The trip they took me on was a rough one.D.I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.E.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.F.After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.G.There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
3.代词线索法 英语文章中代词出现的频率极高,代词一般用来指代前面提及的名词,考生如果能巧妙地利用这样的指代关系或根据代词的单复数进行分析,就可以准确而快速地解题。
[2018·全国Ⅰ,37]Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point._______, they can get a little complex. But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones. 
A　解此题可运用代词线索法。空格后的they指代上文中的techniques,且与A项中的all of them相呼应,代入A项“尽管它们都很有用”,符合语境,故选A项。
A.While all of them are usefulB.Whatever you're looking forC.If you're experimenting with a colorD.Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar withE.It's not really a good idea to use too many small color piecesF.So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first timeG.Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
4.逻辑关系线索法 一篇文章往往是一个有机的整体,各部分之间存在着一定的联系。从逻辑意义上来看,句子与句子之间常常有并列、顺承、递进、转折、总分、解释、因果、过渡、例证等关系,有时甚至包含不止一种这样的关系。因此,阅读材料时一定要把握文章脉络,弄清其中的逻辑关系。如果文中或选项中出现了逻辑关系词,考生就可以利用其来进行推理判断;如果文中或选项中未出现逻辑关系词,这就需要考生全面理解文章大意,根据上下文语境弄清文章内在的逻辑关系,做出正确的判断。
[2017·全国Ⅰ,36]If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me.________ The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer...　　　 
D　解此题可运用逻辑关系线索法。首句“如果三年前有人告诉我我会花大部分的周末时间去野营,我将会开怀大笑”使用了虚拟语气,预示了后面的转折关系。接着讲述了作者过去对野营的看法。由下文可知,作者起初和后来对野营的态度不一样。D项表示“但是,从那时起我就学习了很多关于野营的知识”,however与上文构成转折关系,因此是最佳选项。此题的关键是however这个逻辑关系词,承上启下。
A.This time there was no tent.B.Things are going to be improved.C.The trip they took me on was a rough one.D.I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.E.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.F.After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.G.There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
　 [2017·全国Ⅱ]Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you're trying to get work done.　1　, there are several ways to handle things.Let's take a look at them now. 
1.B　根据there are several ways to handle things可知,下文是几种防止在工作中被别人打断的方法,此句与前半句构成一个完整的句子,根据语境分析选B项。
A.If you're busy, don't feel bad about saying noB.When you want to avoid interruptions at workC.Set boundaries for yourself as far as your time goesD.If you're in the other person's office or in a public areaE.It's important that you let them know when you'll be availableF.It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt youG.Leave it open when you're available to talk and close it when you're not
　 2 　.Tell the person you're sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the two of you can talk at a different time. 
2.A　根据下文内容可知,这一段主要讲述了你要学会在自己很忙的时候去拒绝别人。
A.If you're busy, don't feel bad about saying noB.When you want to avoid interruptions at workC.Set boundaries for yourself as far as your time goesD.If you're in the other person's office or in a public areaE.It's important that you let them know when you'll be availableF.It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt youG.Leave it open when you're available to talk and close it when you're not
When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you'll find them then.　 3　 .It can help to eliminate (消除) future interruptions. 
3.E　根据本空前的have set hours planned and let them know to come back during that time or that you'll find them then,再结合下文中的“It can help to eliminate future interruptions.”可知,选E项。
A.If you're busy, don't feel bad about saying noB.When you want to avoid interruptions at workC.Set boundaries for yourself as far as your time goesD.If you're in the other person's office or in a public areaE.It's important that you let them know when you'll be availableF.It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt youG.Leave it open when you're available to talk and close it when you're not
When you need to talk to someone, don't do it in your own office. 4 　, it's much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are. 
4.D　根据下文中的it's much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are可知,比起在解释自己很忙后让别人离开你的个人空间,为自己找借口回到自己的工作中更容易。再结合上文中的don't do it in your own office可知,作者认为在别人的办公室或公共场合更容易为自己脱身找借口。
A.If you're busy, don't feel bad about saying noB.When you want to avoid interruptions at workC.Set boundaries for yourself as far as your time goesD.If you're in the other person's office or in a public areaE.It's important that you let them know when you'll be availableF.It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt youG.Leave it open when you're available to talk and close it when you're not
本文主要围绕“中断”这一话题展开论述。由于在工作中被打断是一件令人感觉很糟糕的事,因此作者提出了几点建议来防止此类事件的发生。
If you have a door to your office, make good use of it.　5　.If someone knocks and it's not an important matter, excuse yourself and let the person know you're busy so they can get the hint (暗示) that when the door is closed, you're not to be disturbed. 
A.If you're busy, don't feel bad about saying noB.When you want to avoid interruptions at workC.Set boundaries for yourself as far as your time goesD.If you're in the other person's office or in a public areaE.It's important that you let them know when you'll be availableF.It might seem unkind to cut people short when they interrupt youG.Leave it open when you're available to talk and close it when you're not
5.G　根据“If you have a door to your office, make good use of it.”可知,此段主要讲述了如何利用自己办公室的门来防止被打扰。
在考场上,我们不但要拼解题的准确度,还要拼解题的速度,所以这里给考生介绍一种快速的解题方法——“一序一忌看四点”。 “一序”:“先看七、再读文”,快速准确有针对 关于做题顺序,是先读文段,还是先看七个选项呢?大多数人倾向于先读文章,但是这里还是建议考生先看七个选项,再读文章。先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置,通常有三个位置:段首、段中、段尾。不同位置的句子有不同的特征,有时有的选项本身表述就是错误的,可以直接排除,以降低难度。
“一忌”:“选一个、画一个”,这个方法不可取 解答阅读七选五题目最大的风险就是容易出现连环错!假如做题时,我们选一个,画掉一个,美其名曰:逐步缩小包围圈。方法虽妙,但倘若前面我们错选了一处,那么就会导致多处错选。 因此我们做题时要特别忌讳“选出一个,画掉一个”,以避免一错再错,产生连环错误,那些句子结构相同、句意相近的选项更需要我们三思而定。
“看四点”:体裁、指代、连贯词、重复信息有价值1.看文章体裁,用好鲜明特征 从近年高考所选材料来看,阅读七选五体裁基本是说明文和记叙文。说明文的特征是主题鲜明、层次清晰,语篇特征非常明晰。记叙文则以故事的发展脉络为主线,为了有趣,常常会出现一些比较特别的记叙手法,因而会增加理解的难度。
2.看代词指代,寻根还需溯源 英语是一门非常讲究简洁的语言,所以在篇章中经常会出现代词,用于指代上文已经提到过的人、物或者整个事件。追根溯源,找到指代与被指代的关系,会大大加快我们解题的速度。
[2018·全国Ⅲ,37]“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can't imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. “Teaching dance is wonderful.________ It's great to watch them.

D　D项中的them指代My older students,空后的两个them也指代My older students。

3.看上下连贯,捕捉文章脉络 上下连贯是好的篇章的特点,它常常要靠“起承转合”来实现。“起”就是开端,或提出主题或吸引读者关注主题;“承”就是承接上文加以陈述;“转”就是转折,指出问题或困难;“合”则是给出解决问题的方法或建议。这些特征在说明文和议论文中尤为明显。
[2018·全国Ⅱ,36]If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out.__________Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.  
G　本空上文说在繁忙的生活中,我们很难找到时间锻炼,下文说晨练的好处,故中间的衔接句应该表示“假设有时间锻炼”之类的含义,因此G项符合语境。
A.You will stick to your diet.B.Your quality of sleep improves.C.You prefer healthy food to fast food.D.There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.E.You can keep your head clear for 4-10 hours after exercise.F.After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.G.If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!
4.看重复信息,把握内在联系 篇章是相对完整的一个语义体,自然而然会有很多割裂不开的内在联系。这些联系常常靠同义词、近义词、反义词或者借助词性的变化来重复体现,而这些重复信息的存在,又为我们提供了良好的解题契机。

Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day?

[2018·全国Ⅲ]Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate, joy and sorrow, life and death, and everything else in between.　 36　 We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time. 
“I adore dancing,” says Lester Bridges, the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can't imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages.“Teaching dance is wonderful.　 37　 It's great to watch them. For many of them, it's a way of meeting people and having a social life.”  　38　“I can tell you about one young couple,”says Bridges. “They're learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 　39　” 
So, do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better, calmer, healthier? Andrea Hillier says,“Dance, like the pattern of a beating heart, is life. Even after all these years, I want to get better and better.　 40 　 I find it hard to stop! Dancing reminds me I'm alive.”

第四步:验“正”析“误” 1.根据第三步做出的初步判断,把选项代入原文后,五个答案皆符合上下文语境。 2.剩余的C、G两项在原文中没有提及相关内容,故为错误选项。
[2018·全国Ⅱ]If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 　1　 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit. 
1.G　根据本空前的“生活忙碌,没有时间锻炼”和本空后的“晨练除了能使人身体健康之外,还能给人带来其他好处”以及下文列举的晨练的其他好处可知,此处缺一个承上启下句。G项中的then listen up很好地起到了承上启下的作用。
A.You will stick to your diet.B.Your quality of sleep improves.C.You prefer healthy food to fast food.D.There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.E.You can keep your head clear for 4-10 hours after exercise.F.After you exercise, you continue to burn calories throughout the day.G.If you are planning to do exercise regularly, or you're doing it now, then listen up!

　 考生要利用关键词解题,在解题时要比较文章和选项中的关键词。若匹配,则该选项很可能就是正确答案。具体步骤如下:(1)阅读各个空格的前后句,标记关键词。关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组、数词、代词、连词等;(2)阅读各个选项并标记关键词;(3)比较并匹配关键词,最终确定答案。
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money and time. 　　　　Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule...
B　根据第1句中的几个关键词ability、money、time可知,人们不经常做饭有三个原因。空后先说“Money is a topic I'll save for another day.”,接着说“So today I ...make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen.”,这就已经涉及money和time。故空格处谈论的应是与ability有关的话题。
A.Try new things. B.Ability is easily improved. C.Make three or four instead. D.Understand your food better. E.Cooking is a burden for many people. F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden. G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
考生在遇到两个有相似特征的选项时,要格外关注,仔细比对这两个选项,结合空格处所在的语境和上下文的逻辑关系进行作答,切忌因先入为主而误选。
[2016·全国Ⅰ,38]There are three main types of cryptography. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me. ”　 　　　 You might represent 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 5 20 13 5.”
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.
G　C项和G项有相似的信息词message,而且上一段最后一句中含有message一词,因此有些考生看到C选项中的message就会先入为主而误选C项。而根据空后的“你可以用数字代表每个字母”可知,G项符合题意。
G　C项和G项有相似的信息词message,而且上一段最后一句中含有message一词,因此有些考生看到C选项中的message就会先入为主而误选C项。而根据空后的“你可以用数字代表每个字母”可知,G项符合题意。
考生在分析语篇段落层次时,可以借助上下文、前后句之间的语篇连接词来判断。此外,考生要真正理解文章的主旨大意,弄清空格前后句子的确切含义,然后根据意义的连贯性从七个选项中选出正确答案。最后,考生要将所选的选项代入原文,看填入答案后的文章语言是否通顺,逻辑是否合理。
[全国Ⅰ,37]Unfortunately, we've all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore. 　　　　It's understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
E　部分考生可能忽略了上下文的意义衔接,而误选其他选项。上一句“Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore.”和E选项 “They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.”在意义上衔接紧密,故选E项。
A.Learn to really trust yourself. B.It is putting confidence in someone. C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim. D.Remember that you can expect the best in return. E.They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again. F.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships. G.Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.
分析文章的层次通常有两种方法:一种是分析整篇文章的层次,另一种是分析每个段落内部的层次。一般来说,高考的英语文章,无论是整篇文章,还是每个独立的语段,在行文逻辑上,通常采用“总-分”或“总-分-总”结构。考生在阅读文章时,要有意识地理清文章的思路。
　 Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.　　　　 1
A.Make choices that are right for you. B.The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C.Be sure to work through the critical questions. D.And examine the findings of the original research. E.Distinguish between research reports and public health advice. F.Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view. G.The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.
G　部分考生可能忽略了文章的结构而误选其他选项。本文为“总—分—总”结构。“Go to the original source.”“Watch for misleading language.”“Use your common sense.”以及“Make choices that are right for you.”都属于作者对辨别健康的信息提供的建议。因此答案为G项。
Go to the original source... Watch for misleading language... Use your common sense... Make choices that are right for you. Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us. Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
文章及后面的选项中表示逻辑关系的标志词是解题的重要线索。常见的语篇标志词从逻辑关系上可分为:并列或递进关系:and, moreover, what's more, also, neither...nor..., either...or..., besides, furthermore...转折或让步关系:but, however, instead, yet, while, on the contrary, rather than, instead of, although, though, even if, even though...
概括归纳关系:in short, in brief, in summary...因果关系:so, therefore, thus, as a result, because, for, since, consequently, accordingly, due to, thanks to, because of, for this reason...时间关系:at first, at last, finally, afterwards, in the meantime, later, then...解释、例证关系:in fact, for example, for instance...

A.Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B.But some types of situations can help us to get. rid of the occurrence of anger.C.Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.D.Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.
D　空格处下一句提到“但是愤怒很容易转变为暴力,所以我们最好了解一下愤怒出现的原因来阻止它的出现”,该句和空格处之间是转折关系,结合选项可知,D项“愤怒是一种特别强烈的感情,或许人们认为他们有理由生气”和下文构成转折关系,故选D项。

Examine Your Handwriting.　 7 Look through your writing to decide what makes it difficult to read or what makes it unattractive. Perhaps you write your letters too small. Check on spacing of letters and words, and formation of letters. If your letters are small, put more effort into writing larger letters. If certain letters trip you up, practise those letters separately and within words.

Write Correctly.Position and technique of holding a pen play a role in how your handwriting looks. Hold a pen between your thumb and first two fingers so that it rests against your fingers.

●Barriers (障碍) in communication. Communication requires that barriers be removed so that the sender and the receiver can be in contact with each other. Barriers to communication include noises, not giving full attention, speaking on cell phone while the other is talking.　14　 When you are not listening, the communication is not getting through. Listening does not mean being quiet and pretending you are giving your whole attention while your mind wanders to what's for dinner or something like that.

Passage 2 Radar is an electronic device that detectsplanes, ships, coastlines, landmarks, and even storm clouds. The name radar comes from the first letters of the words “radio detection and ranging”. As the human eye uses light waves to see, radar “sees” with radio waves. Without radar, planes could not land safely in bad weather and ships could not move safely in thick fog.　 6

Echoes make it possible for radar to work. When a beam of radio waves is sent out, it strikes on an object and returns an echo. This echo is picked up by radar and recorded on a screen similar to television screen. On the screen an observer sees a flash, or a blip, that shows the direction and distance of the object.　 8

Airport control towers use radar to guide planes in for safe landings. Almost all large ships depend on radar to prevent collisions with icebergs or other ships.　 9　 Weather forecasters “see” the size, direction, and speed of storms on radar screens. Astronomers can even use radar to measure accurately the distance to the moon. Thus, the device has generated major advancements.

Reduce the time spent checking your phone. If you do not set some exercise guidelines for yourself, then it can lead to a sedentary(久坐的)life. 　1　 If you are on your phone excessively, it is not healthy. Another way to use your phone less is to delete all the apps you don't need.

If you don't need to be on your phone, then don't use it.”Another way to do this is to replace smart phone features with real objects. 　3

Passage 2 Sleep is vital to your physical and mental health.

Most people don't need more than eight hours in bed to achieve this goal. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day. Try to limit the difference in your sleep schedule on weeknights and weekends to no more than one hour. 　8
