1、第二讲据“位”而思根据三类空格位置准解题目上一讲从宏观上解读了解答阅读七选五必备的思维意识，是第一遍读题后对空格匹配选项的初判；但为了确保答案万无一失，知其然更知其所以然，本讲从空格位置及所承担的语意关系层面讲解做题技法。本讲内容与上一讲内容是相辅相承的，做题时要综合灵活运用，融会贯通才能游刃有余。一、设空在段首若是针对段落小标题设空，其呈现形式应和其他小标题相同，选项应短小精悍，多为名词词组、动名词短语或祈使句。若段落首句设空，段首句要么与段落标题相关联，要么是段落主题句，选项要具有概括性，要么承接上段，要么是对下文的概括。思考点(一)段落主题句当某段开头处设空时，通常要填的内容是该段的主题
2、句，考生需要认真研读该段内容，尤其是设空处后面的一两句，确定线索词，然后从备选项中查找这些线索词的同义词、近义词或关联词。一般正确选项与空后第一句在内容上是连贯且符合逻辑的，在意义上是紧密衔接的。典例1(2019全国卷)_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 th

4、e time or another.GAsk questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.分析：本题考查段落主题句。本段主要介绍了应该提问什么样的问题，所提的问题要确保答案不能显而易见。本段内容围绕“questions”展开，故G项“提问题，并且要确保所提问题是经过深思熟虑的好问题”，符合语境。故选G。思考点(二)承上启下句当非首段的第一句设空时，设空处有可能是承上启下句，这就要求考生既要熟悉上一段的内容，尤其是上一段结尾的内容，又要结合本段内容，使所选答案能够把两段内容进行无缝对接。典例2(2020全国卷)37_B

9、 that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.分析：本题考查段落之间的衔接。前面段落所讲内容为带礼物，可以是厨房工具、窗帘、艺术品或绿植。本空承接上文，也应与礼物相关，根据设空处后面的句子“This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isnt a lot of food served.”可知，空处所带的礼物应与食物相关，故选C。二、设空在段中当设空在段中时，通常考查该空与前后句子之间的逻辑关系和上下文的衔接。考查的逻辑关系：总分关系、解释关系、例证关系、转
10、折关系、因果关系、递进关系和并列关系7大关系。有时会出现下列衔接词语：first, second, then, next, later, soon, so, but, however, additionally, whats more, that is, namely, in other words, for one thing .for another等。思考点(一)总分关系典例3(2017全国卷)The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer._37_We slept in a t

13、总分关系。根据下文的描述“我们睡在帐篷里、在篝火上做饭、走很远的路去洗澡和上厕所”可知，这次野营比较艰难。设空处是总体评价，后面是详细描述。故选C。思考点(二)解释关系典例4(2019全国卷)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 o
14、f the same coin._36_ Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.AThis can affect your work.BSo how should you motivate yourself?CHowever, this should not discourage you.DSo why should we try to set specific goals?EThey can change according to circumstances.FMotivation is what you ne
15、ed most to do a good job.GWithout motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.分析：本题考查解释关系。设空处前一句的句意“动力和目标设定是同一枚硬币的两面”，设空处解释二者之间的关系“没有动力，你既不能设定目标，也不能去实现它”。故选G。思考点(三)例证关系典例5(2016全国卷)There are three main types of cryptography._37_ For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eel
16、s” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”AIt is very hard to break a code without the code book.BIn any language, some letters are used more than others.COnly people who know the keyword can read the message.DAs long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.EYou can hide a message
17、by having the first letters of each word spell it out.FWith a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.GAnother way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.分析：本题考查例证关系。设空处前一句的句意为“有三种主要的密码术”。空后接着就给出一个例子“你可以通过拼写每个单词的第一个字母来隐藏信息”。故选
18、E。思考点(四)转折关系典例6(2020新高考全国卷)Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking._16_ Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.ADo the opposite.BYou want to be an effective public speaker.CYou dont need to apologize for a minor slip.DWhen it comes to publ
19、ic speaking, less is usually more.EThe objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.FTake the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.GHowever, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.分析：本题考查转折关系。设空处前一句的句意为“有些人天生就有公众演讲的天赋”。设空处后一句的句意为“你想成为一个好的
20、公众演说家吗？”。根据逻辑判断，设空处应与前一句构成转折关系，故G项“然而，大多数人之所以能成为有效的演讲者，是因为他们受过训练”符合语境。思考点(五)因果关系典例7(2020全国卷)Written communications can often read as cold and dull.Using emojis can add humor and feeling, keeping intention clear._37_， encouraging better and more frequent communication.AMessage with emojis feel more c
21、onversationalBEven a formal email can seem cold and unfriendlyCSending smiling faces to colleagues may seem strangeDThe popularity of these platforms is spreading globallyEGiving employees the tools enables them to communicate honestlyFStudies show that friendlier communication leads to a happier wo
22、rkplaceGAn easy way to bring all work generations together is with a chat platform分析：本题考查因果关系。根据下文“encouraging better and more frequent communication (鼓励更好、更频繁的沟通)”可知，设空处所填的句子是下文的原因。A项“使用表情符号的信息让人感觉更适合交谈”符合语境。故选A。思考点(六)递进关系典例8(2019全国卷)Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short a
23、nd 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.AThis can affect your work.BSo how should you motivate yourself?CHowever, this should not disc
24、ourage you.DSo why should we try to set specific goals?EThey can change according to circumstances.FMotivation is what you need most to do a good job.GWithout motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.分析：本题考查递进关系。根据上句“Remember that goals are flexible.(要记住目标是灵活的。)”可知，E项“目标可以根据情况做出改变”，承接上文，与
25、上一句为递进关系。故选E。思考点(七)并列关系典例9(2020新高考全国卷)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.ADo the opposite.BYou want to be an effective public speaker.CYou dont n

27、：本题考查并列关系。由本段第一句“Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.”及空后一句“And .takes practice.”可以锁定B选项为正确答案，它们之间构成并列关系。三、设空在段尾思考点(一)总结句当设空在段尾时，通常是结论性、概括性语句，是对上文的概括总结。如果缺的是结论性、概括性的语句，考生应快速浏览七个备选项，注意选项中是否出现表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如so, therefore, as a result, in short, in a word, all in all等词或短语，快速缩小选择范围，再根据段落主题
28、一致性原则，从而确定正确选项。典例10(2020全国卷)Recognize all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today._39_AFeeling upset again?BWhere do
29、 you start?CNothing is too small to celebrate.DRemember, you are only human.ESet an intention for selfacceptance.FStop comparing yourself with others.GWhen does the comparison game start?分析：本题考查段落总结句。由本段首句可知本段主题是“认识到你所有的优点”，段中列举了一些小的成绩，如有了一份工作，拿到了学位等，段尾对这些成绩做了一下总结：没有什么事情太小而不值得庆祝。故选C。思考点(二)段落过渡句当设空在非
30、尾段段末时，也有可能是考查承上启下的过渡句。假如所缺的是段落间的过渡句，首先可以关注表示逻辑关系的衔接词，再结合词汇复现等原则进行答案的选择。典例11(2017全国卷)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, illcooked meals, and uncomfortable
31、sleeping bags.They had nothing in common with me._36_The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.37_CThe_trip_they_took_me_on_was_a_rough_one.We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.This brief

33、ver.EI must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.FAfter the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.GThere was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.分析：考查段落过渡句。根据空处上文“如果三年前有人告诉我，以后我的大部分周末时间都会露营，我会放声大笑。在我看来，露营者是喜欢让昆虫咬、吃不好吃的饭菜和睡令人不舒服的睡袋。这些和我毫不相干”和下一段的“介绍我去露营的朋友们认为这是
34、一次具有开创性的露营。这次露营比较艰难。我们睡帐篷、在篝火上做饭、走很远的路去洗澡和上厕所。这次对大自然母亲的短暂造访让我请了两天假，要在皮肤严重灼伤后进行恢复，并且还要支付来自医生治疗我儿子食物中毒的账单”可知，两段之间有转折关系，所以要填一个承上启下的过渡句，D项“然而，从那时起我却学到了很多关于露营的知识”符合语境。故选D。思考点(三)补充信息句段末设空还有可能是对前文内容进行补充说明，这时要选择补充性的语句。典例12(2019全国卷)Dont share personal information or stories.Professors are not trained nurses,
35、 financial aid experts or your best friends.If you are in need of a deadline extension, simply explain the situation to the professor._39_AThats what they are for.BTurn to an online instructor for help.CIf more information is needed, they will ask.DRemember that online professors get a lot of emails
36、.EBelow are some common dos and donts for online learners.FEveryone has taken a notsogreat class at one time or another.GAsk questions, but make sure they are good, thoughtful questions.分析：本题考查逻辑关系。本段主要讲的是“不要把个人信息和经历告诉教授，如果你需要延长最后期限，向教授解释处境即可”。C项“如果需要了解更多信息，他们会问你的”是对上文内容的补充说明，符合语境。故选C。随堂体验落实 Having
