75、题。如果文章没有给出标题, 就需要同学们快速分析出主题。但是正文中空缺了五处, 结构和逻辑可能被打断。而且阅读文章要耗费一定时间, 考场上需要争分夺秒, 故建议同学们直接从选项着手, 勾画选项关键词, 串联出文章主题。关键词包括: 名词、动词、形容词、数词、代词等。因为七选五正文通常都是说明文, 选项中反复出现的高频词、词组, 通常就是文章的说明对象。如果7个选项中没有同一高频词、词组出现, 就把各个选项的核心关键信息进行叠加, 也可以总结出文章的主题。2. 研究空格前后, 对比选项, 选择答案。了解了文章主题, 马上开始第二步: 解答题目。此时需要回到文中, 重点阅读空格附近的句子, 圈定线
76、索词, 再和选项进行比对, 锁定和线索相关的选项, 从而确定答案。如果有题目拿不准, 不要把宝贵的时间耗在一道题上, 在一棵树上吊死。先放过此题, 继续往下, 把容易的题目做完, 再返回来攻克难题。此时可用的备选项已经缩小范围, 选择起来难度自然小了很多。3. 复读短文, 核对答案。做完了所有的题目, 为了保证答案的正确性, 一定要把答案代入原文, 进行核对检查。看文章从内容上、逻辑上是否通顺连贯, 直白地说, 就是检查文章是否读得通、读得懂, 符合逻辑。第三部分语言运用 (共两节, 满分30分)第一节 (共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选
