1、七选五满分秘籍之巧用位置一、概述七选五是高考英语试卷阅读理解的第二节，一篇300字左右的短文中留出5个空白，要求考生从所给的7个选项中选出最佳选项，使补全后的短文意思通顺、前后连贯。考试说明对该题型的命题目的表述是“主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握”。该题型主要测试考生的两大能力：一是把握整篇文章布局和结构能力，二是把握微观信息之间关联性的能力。本套资料通过两大技巧帮助考生把握这两种能力，轻松拿满分。二、巧用位置我们都知道：一篇好的文章都具有结构清晰、语意连贯、过渡自然等特点。高考英语“七选五”阅读材料无疑也具有以上特点，我们做题时需要从大框架和小细节分别进行分
2、析，本文主要讲述从大框架进行分析的方法。选五阅读理解设空主要有三种不同的位置：段首、段中和段尾，这三种位置的句子在文中的作用不同。我们可以根据近几年全国高考卷出题设空的规律，找到这三种题目的对应解法。（一） 设空在标题这类题目是比较特殊的一类，难度不大，高考文章越来越趋向于不设这样的空，但我们也需要了解这种题目的做题方法。该题目的特点就是短小精悍，且多为名词性短语或祈使句。（二） 设空在段首设空出现在段首，它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。另外着重阅读后文第一、二句，锁定线索词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与
3、空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种衔接手段。典题（2020全国卷I）A Few Tips for Self-AcceptanceWe all want it. to accept and love ourselves. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach. 36 Heres a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction. 37 Do not follow the people who make you feel no
4、t-good-enough. 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.E Set an intention for self-acceptance.F. Stop comparing yourself with others.G. When does the com
5、parison game start?分析 37题设空在段首，这样的选项，往往是对下面整个段落内容的概括和总结，反映整个段落的主旨和大意。这种试题往往需要从下面的整段中搜索核心词汇，找出做题的线索。空白处后文的内容是：Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. Why do you follow them? 可知，本段主要讲述不要把自己和别人作比较，这里根据下文的核心词汇follow，the only you可知，F. Stop comparing yourself with others.(停止把自己和别人进行比较。
6、)能够概括本段大意。故选F项。（三） 设空在段尾设空在段尾，这种选项通常起着总结上文，提示下文的功能。所以会有两种情况：一是只承接上文，二是承上启下。应先看设空前文，寻找选项与前文之间的关联，如果第一段的段尾设题，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词，如：therefore，as a result，thus，hence，in short，to sum up，to conclude，in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段
7、开头是否有关联。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项紧密相连。典题（2020全国卷I） 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 Now that y
8、ouve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you dont feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 40 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?A. Fe
9、eling upset again?B. Where do you start?C. Nothing is too small to celebrate.D. Remember, you are only human.分析 本题设空在段尾，首先看前文。根据上文List all of your accomplishments and achievements. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today.(列出你所有的成就。你有了一份工作，拿到了学位。)可知，这些小事都是你取得的成就，都值得庆祝。C项意思，没有
10、什么事是太小而不值得庆祝的，对上文的总结概括，符合文意。（四） 设空在段中设空出现在段中，通常是承上启下的作用，需要看设空前后两句话，根据句子之间的逻辑关系确定答案。典题 Dont forget to forgive yourself._ 5 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you dont do it.DTry to see things from your offenders angle.EFor some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.FTo make
11、your anger die away，try a simple stressmanagement technique.GIf you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time.分析 设空在段中，先看前句E项中的信息forgiving themselves与前句意义一致，并且选项E与后面的句子之间用but连接，有转折的语气，因此构成了一种意义上的对比关系，尤其是but这个词，更加突出了对比的意义，因此选项E符合这里的意义和结构。 因果关系做题时最重要的是要在读懂空格前后的句子的基础上，依据彼此的
12、关系来确认答案。有时，前后的句子之间出现as a result(结果)，thus/therefore(因此)，so(such).that(如此以至于)等标志性词语，表明前后句有着原因和结果之间的关系，说明前因后果或者前果后因等情况。课后练习A Few Active Listening GuidelinesListening is arguably the most important element of interpersonal communication.

27、可以了解不同的文化，C项“一种方法是阅读来自某特定文化的作者所写的书”与后面提到的Reading works相呼应。3.B细节句。上文提到阅读可以使人了解不同文化的方方面面，然后举例说明，选择B项，用老师教学生了解不同文化的方法作为例子。4.F细节句。上文讲到了解不同文化的另一个方法是尝试学习一门外语，然后列举具体的学习方法和途径，F选项意为“为了在一个更正式的场合学习他可以上一个外语学习班”。5.D主题句。该段主要讲述熟悉当地的食物也是了解该地文化的一个正确方向，所以选择D项作为该段主题句。Many people struggle with saying “No”. 1 Remember,

34、多人会不自觉地接受他人的请求，但是你并不是一定要对他人说“可以”。这将帮助你轻而易举地说“不”，故选A。3.D根据空后一句“However, that reason does not have to be concrete.”可知，D项“如果你有一个理由的话，说不总是比较容易的”符合语境，故选D项。4.B空后三句讲述的是人们通常不会接受“不”的，他们会找种种理由让你改变主意，因此我们要坚持自己的决定，不要轻易屈服。由此可推知，我们要知道他人的劝说技巧，故选B项。5.E本段讲述的是要训练自己说“不”。该空前一句提到训练说“不”可能听起来很愚蠢，但是实际上你可以独自去训练自己说“不”，由此可知E项
35、“试着站在镜子前，看着自己”符合语境，衔接上下文，故选E项。You are enjoying a nice dream until your alarm suddenly rings. 1 Is your clock out of control?

40、解读本文为说明文。文章给读者提出了几条如何在冬日里按时起床的建议。1.G根据下文No, its just winter, making the sun rise later, so it will be twice as hard to crawl out of bed into the cold darkness.（不，现在只是冬天，太阳升起得比较晚，所以从床上爬起来进入寒冷黑暗的环境要困难两倍）可知，G项“但是当你往窗外看时，外面还是黑的”符合此处语境。故G选项正确。2.F根据上文That means youll need to put in extra effort to get to
