解题流程

01.段首类
设空处在段首通常为主旨句，有时也可能为承上启下句。
1 主旨句
解题指导　在某段的段首设空的类型常为该段的主旨句，常以小标题或主题句的形式出现。首先要认真阅读该段内容，尤其是设空处后面一两句的内容，去确定关键信息，然后从各选项中查找与关键信息相关的词句和信息，来确定答案。一般情况下，正确答案与设空后的第一句在意义上是紧密衔接的，内容上是连贯且符合逻辑的。
[典例]　(2020·全国卷Ⅰ)
●__37__ Do not follow the people who make you feel not­good­enough. Why do you follow them? Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.
F．Stop comparing yourself with others.
【答案】F　
【解析】根据下文“Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.(你是否希望最终你会因为自己的生活比他们的好而感到有力量？要知道，你的生活是你自己的；你在这个世界上是独一无二的。)”可知，本段主要讲述不要把自己和别人作比较，因为生活是我们自己的。选项F(停止把自己和别人进行比较。)可以作为本段中心句，故选F。
2 承上启下句
解题指导　在段首设空的类型有时也可能起承上启下的作用，此时既要熟悉上一段内容，又要去结合下一段所讲。做题时要联系上下文，把握逻辑关系，分析所选答案是否能将两段内容连贯起来。
[典例]　(2018·全国卷Ⅲ)
“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. My older students say it makes them feel young. 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. Dancing seems to change their feeling completely.”
A．So why do we dance?
【答案】　A　
【解析】本题为段首题，需要填一个主旨句或承上启下句。上文提到跳舞能使人感到年轻，是一种与人结识和与人相交的方式，再根据本段中的“They're learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile.”可知，跳舞可以让原本情绪低落的他们变得开心。因此A项(那么我们为什么跳舞呢？)承上启下，符合语境。
02.段中类
段中设空的题目即为主题句的展开句。此种类型要注意分析前后的逻辑性和内容的连贯性，注意句子之间的衔接手法。做题时，首先要依据信息词将选项进行排除，然后将剩下的可能答案逐一代入，看哪个选项能和设空处的前后内容达到语意连贯及逻辑通顺，从而最终确定最佳选项，得出答案。以下为依据逻辑关系去解题的常用方法：
1 并列或递进关系
解题指导　并列或递进关系是指后一句对前一句是一种顺承逻辑关系。常见的表示并列关系的标志性词语有first(ly), second(ly), third(ly), next/then, finally/last, first of all, for one thing, for another thing, some ... others ..., to begin with, to conclude等；常见的表示递进关系的标志性词语有also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what's more, not only ... but also ...等。
[典例]　(2020·山东高考)
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. __19__ And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
B．You want to be an effective public speaker.
【答案】B　
【解析】设空前句“你的目标不是成为一个完美的演讲者”，后句紧接着应该是说明“应该成为什么样的演讲者”，即“你要成为一个有效的演讲者”。故选B。
2 转折或让步关系
解题指导　转折或让步关系是指后一句对前一句构成逆转逻辑关系。常见表示转折或让步关系的标志性词语有but, however, nevertheless, still, yet, while/though/although, or/otherwise, instead, on the contrary, in contrast, in comparison, by comparison等。
[典例]　(2019·全国卷Ⅰ)
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.
E．But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
【答案】　E　
【解析】设空上一句的句意为：我们都是听着人们说的“出去呼吸点儿新鲜空气”长大的，设空下一句的句意为：答案是肯定的。可知，设空处应是针对去户外呼吸新鲜空气是否真有好处的一个问句。由此可判断E项(但是新鲜空气真的像你妈妈总说的那样对你有好处吗？)，与前一句构成转折关系，逻辑合理，符合语境。
3 因果关系
解题指导　因果关系是指后一句为前一句的结果(有时也为原因)。常见的标志性词语有so, therefore, thus, consequently, as a result (of), so/such ... that ..., so that, result in/from, lead to, due to, thanks to, owing to等。
[典例]　(2020·浙江高考)
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. __34__ I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait (特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
F．Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
【答案】　F　
【解析】根据前句“当我的母亲看到我的创作时，她说我的设计很有创意”可知，F项“于是，我开始对制造东西产生了长久的兴趣”和上句构成因果关系，我正是在听了母亲那句话后才开始对制造东西产生兴趣。故选F。
4 例证关系
解题指导　例证关系是前后句的某句是为了证明或解释另一句而举的例子。例证的形式具有多样性，思维过程基本是归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。常见的标志性词语有for example, for instance, in fact/as a matter of fact, actually, in other words, that is (to say)等。
[典例]　(2016·全国卷Ⅰ)
There are three main types of cryptography. __37__ For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”
E．You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
【答案】E
【解析】　本题可利用例证关系解题，为从观点到例子的思维方式。设空后的句子是例子，E项(你可以拼写每个单词的第一个字母来隐藏信息)为观点。
03.段尾类
段尾设空的类型多为总结本段内容，偶有起承上启下的作用。
1 总结概括句
解题指导　做题时一要注意设空的前一句或前两三句；二要注意在选项中查找thus, therefore, hence, so, as a result, in a word, in short, to conclude, to sum up等表示结果、结论、总结的词语；三要注意与前文的逻辑关系，找到关键的线索词句，如表示转折、并列、排比等关系。如果在文章第一段的段尾设空，要认真阅读看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章的第一段要提出主题，如果在段尾提出主题，常用一些信号词(如转折词)引出来，正确答案中应有这样的信号词。
[典例]　(2019·北京高考)
If a basketball star is, for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team's performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.” __49__
D．Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
【答案】　D　
【解析】根据上文描述篮球明星的做法和设空前的“学习参加团队运动的小孩子经常被告知‘团队里没有个人’”形成的对比可推断出，选项D “明星们很明显不遵守体育精神这一基本原则”对全段作了总结概括，故答案为D。
2 承上启下句
解题指导　做题时如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时要考虑与下一段开头是否有衔接，要认真阅读下一段的开头几句，看是否能紧密联系起来。
[典例1]　(2018·浙江高考)
Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience. Of course, you want to make sure that you become an accepted and valuable part of your new neighborhood. The easiest way to accomplish this is to make sure you conduct yourself as a good neighbor should. __31__
G．Here are a few tips to help you win over everyone in the neighborhood quickly.
【答案】　G　
【解析】根据下文叙述的几条建议可知，设空处承上启下；上文提到，被邻居接受的最容易的方法就是你要使自己表现出是一个好邻居。G项(以下是几条帮助你快速赢取社区所有人的心的建议)符合语境。
【考点剖析】
(2019·全国卷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.

•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.

A
(2020·全国卷Ⅲ)A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. __36__ And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents.
__37__ Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores.

Even if there isn't a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant.
__38__ This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn't a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. __39__

A．This isn't usual though.

(2018·全国卷Ⅰ)Color is fundamental in home design—something you'll always have in every room.

Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? __36__， color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel.
Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. __37__， 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.
__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.
Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. __39__. They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space.
The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you're looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. __40__.
A．While all of them are useful
B．Whatever you're looking for
C．If you're experimenting with a color
