23、位置可知,空处为段尾句,承上启下;空前一句是说弹性工作时间制是指员工可以选择自己的工作时间,通常在老板或政府的设定范围内工作;紧接着第二段开头说弹性工作时间制对员工有好处,故E项“世界上的许多雇主都会向他们的雇员提供这种方法”符合语境,衔接上下文。2选G空前一句是说对于雇员而言,弹性工作时间制有明显的好处,由此可推知空处应是具体介绍好处体现的方面,故G项“这允许他们对自己的工作时间表作出改变来适应他们的生活”符合语境。3选A根据文章结构和空处所在的位置可知,空处为该段的段首主题句;阅读该段可知,该段主要介绍了弹性工作时间制对于雇主的好处。故选A。4选D根据空前一句“Most flextime
24、schedules include core time.”可知,大多数弹性工作时间包括核心时间。据此可推知,空处应是介绍核心工作时间的内容,即每个人被要求工作的时间段。故D项正确。5选F根据空处上文的内容可知,弹性工作时间制与弹性工作地点也可以结合在一起;据此可推知,空处应是举例说明弹性工作地点的相关情况,故F项符合语境。tips 怎样解阅读七选五之段尾句(1)空处为总结、概括句做题时一要注意空格前的一句或两句;二是注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结的信号词,如to conclude, in a word, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, therefor
25、e, as a result等词语;三是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、对比、并列或排比的关系。(2)空处为承上启下句除了作为总结、概括句之外,段尾句很有可能是承上启下句,用于引出下一段的内容。如果选项中找不出与前文之间的关联,此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接关系。例如上文的第1题,作为尾句,起着连接上下文、承上启下的作用,解题时应分析空前一句及下一段首句来推知答案。 .语法填空(2021湖北八校联考)The hardships involved in building the Great Wall are beyond imagination.
