突破英語閱讀七選五題型

程明華

七選五閱讀是高考英語全國卷、北京卷和浙江卷的一個重要題型。它是由一篇缺少5個句子的文章和文章后的7個選項組成，其中有兩項為多余選項。要求根據文章內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。?？嫉奈恼麦w裁是說明文和議論文，這是因為它們的結構比較清晰，適合考查標題概括、主題句和過渡句等。該題型選項大致可分為主旨概括句（文章整體內容）、過渡性句子（文章結構）和注釋性句子（上下文邏輯意義）三類。如果不小心誤選一題，就有可能造成連帶效應，連續出現錯誤。那么怎樣才能更好地突破該題型呢？

1. 看結構

在解題過程中，通過觀察語言結構可將選擇范圍大大縮小，提高正確率。

（1） 標題結構

如果考查段落標題，先看看其他標題的語言形式，同一文章中的幾個段落小標題基本上是同一語言形式。如果其他標題是名詞短語，該題答案也多是名詞短語;如果其他標題是祈使句，該題的答案也多是祈使句。例如：

Staying ahead of deadlines is a powerful way to make you more productive while reducing stress at the same time. Here are some ways to meet a deadline.

1. ?36?.

This is the first step， as many people are very careless about deadlines. You have to be very serious about meeting them， and make them a priority. Once you?ve done this step， the rest just happen as expected.

2. Keep a list of projects and deadlines.

If you care about deadlines， you should write down and check them often to ...

3. Break down the project.

This advice is suitable for any project. Don?t try to complete an entire project ...

4. Have a start and complete date for each step.

When breaking down a project， make a start and complete date for each step， so ...

A. Care about deadlines

B. Deal with one step at a time

解析：這篇說明文主要介紹了讓人們在截止日期之前完成工作的幾種方法。36題要求選小標題。觀察其他標題，都是祈使句，因此，本標題也可能是祈使句;七個選項中只有A、B兩個選項是祈使句，這樣就可以大大縮小選擇范圍;瀏覽兩個選項，再看下文This is the first step， as many people are very careless about deadlines. You have to be very serious about meeting them， and make them a priority，這是第一步，你要認真對待截止日期，并優先考慮它，即要在意截止日期，故選A項。

（2） 句子結構

如果正確選項只是某個句子的一個部分，就要看看空后這個部分是不是完整的句子，如果是完整的句子，看看是否有連詞。如果沒有連詞，正確選項就應是短語或是帶有連詞的從句。例如：

Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady， gradual increases in the length of the runs. ?36?， buy the best-fitting， best-built running shoes you can find.

A. After six days

B. For a good marathon runner

C. Before you begin your training

E. If they still feel good， you can begin running in them

解析：從句式結構上看，逗號后是祈使句，沒有連詞，正確答案要么是帶有連詞的從句，要么是一個短語，只有A、 B、 C、 E四個選項符合，這樣就縮小了選擇范圍;根據空前句中的preparation （準備）和常識可知是“訓練前”，故選C項。

再如：

There have been a lot of comments recently surrounding 5G， the next generation of wireless technology. ?1?？ How might it change our lives？

5G stands for fifth generation， meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. Earlier “G”systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity （容量）.

A. Why is 5G so popular

B. What is this technology

解析：分析句子結構，空格1應該填一個疑問句，只能從A和B中選擇，再根據第二段5G stands for fifth generation， meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system.可知，第一個問題是關于5G概念，故選B。

2. 看位置

根據空格所在位置確定不同的解題策略。

（1） 空格句在段首，選項可能是：

①段落主題句：閱讀后文的內容，推斷出段落主題，選出正確選項。

②過渡句：在后文找不到解題線索時，就要想到空格句子可能起到承上啟下的作用，試著從上一段的結尾處尋找線索。正確選項通常與上一段結尾能夠自然地銜接起來。

（2） 空格句在段尾，選項可能是：

①全文的主題句：如果是這種情況，空格句常在第一段末尾，此時要把握全文主題來分析作答。

②總結、概括性句子：閱讀選項，先搜尋選項中是否有表示總結的詞或短語，如in conclusion， in summary， in a word， therefore等等;再看哪個選項是對前文內容的總結、概括。

③本段所闡述問題的一個方面：段尾的空格句是段落主題下的一個細節，和前文是并列、排比、轉折等關系。抓住關聯詞或段落結構，對比選項，得出答案。

（3） 空格句在段中，要通過分析句子間邏輯關系進行解題。文中出現邏輯關系詞或短語時，可以快速判斷出句子間的邏輯關系，是選擇答案時的重要線索。

常見邏輯關系詞和短語如下：

●并列關系：and， not only... but also...， similarly， likewise

●遞進關系：besides， what?s more， in addition， additionally， moreover， furthermore

●因果關系：because， since， as， therefore， thus， as a result， consequently

●轉折、對比關系：but， however， on the contrary， by contrast， on the other hand， while

●讓步關系：though， although， even though， even if， nevertheless， despite， in spite of

●列舉關系：first/second/third...， in the first place/ in the second place， to begin with， on one hand... on the other hand， for one thing... for another...

●舉例關系：for example， for instance， such as...， take... for example， namely

●條件關系：if， as long as， on condition that， providing that

例如：

4?. ?The increased data flow across 5G networks would give Internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition， the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety. ?5?， or a network breakdown could cause self-driving vehicles to crash.

A. Why is 5G so popular

B. What is this technology

C. Every coin has two sides

D. The new 5G system promises more of the same

E. It will move beyond mobile network technology

F. A breakdown of 5G networks may cause economic losses

G. A failure during a doctor?s remote operation could lead to death

解析：空格4位于句首，上文講5G帶來了許多好處，而本段主要講述5G技術可能存在的風險，即5G的兩面性，有積極的一面，也有消極的一面，故選C。5G如同“硬幣的正反面”，起到承上啟下的作用。

空格5位于段中，空格前一句Such difficulties could affect public safety，講述這些困難可能會影響公共安全，空格后一句or a network breakdown could cause self-driving vehicles to crash，網絡故障可能會導致自動駕駛汽車出車禍，這是影響公共安全的一個具體闡述，選項應該是另一項具體闡述，故選G，遠程手術的失敗可能造成病人死亡。

3. 找線索

每一個句子都要包含一些和上下句相似或有關的信息，因此可以根據上下文找到線索。

（1） 詞語復現

詞語復現包括原詞復現，同義詞復現，近義詞復現，反義詞復現等等，即正確選項和空格前后句子有相同的詞，或同義詞或反義詞相互呼應。抓住這些復現線索，題目自然迎刃而解。例如：

You don?t have to buy a lot of expensive and new gear （裝備）

Some skiers who owned nice winter jackets couldn?t go on the trip. ?3??“I have a neighbour who let me borrow some of his gear. That was very helpful，” says 13-year-old Matt Rizer.

Don?t forget to wear a helmet （頭盔）

Whether you?re a beginner or an expert， you?re going to fall， and sometimes you?re going to fall hard. “I went down to one run that was pretty hard，” Nate， a skiing learner， says， “?4?”

A. Don?t worry about falling.

B. I felt like I was learning pretty quickly.

C. I fell down and I was glad I was wearing a helmet.

D. Don?t think that you ski well enough not to wear a helmet.

E. So they lent their clothes to other skiers.

解析：空格3前一句Some skiers who owned nice winter jackets couldn?t go on the trip，一些滑雪者擁有很好的滑雪服，但不去滑雪，因此他們可以把滑雪服借給其他人?？崭窈蟮木渥右浴拔摇睘槔M行證明，選項E中的their clothes就是winter jackets的同義重復。

空格4位于段尾，本段講不要忘記戴頭盔，不管你是初學者還是熟手，都可能摔跤。然后用一初學者的話進行印證，選項C中的fell和helmet，就是原詞再現。

（2） 代詞指代

英語表達中代詞出現的頻率很高，代詞的作用是指代前面提及的具體人或事物，巧妙利用這樣的指代關系和代詞的單復數差異可以準確快速地解答題目。例如：

Recently， people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing（治愈）. ?38??In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery.

A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.

B. So what are you waiting for？

C. Being in nature refreshes us.

D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.

E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said？

F. Just as importantly， we tend to associate air with health care.

G. All across the country， recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.

解析：根據下一句中提到的“these places”可以推知，該空應該提到表示地點的復數名詞。只有G選項提到地點名詞，在全國，康復中心已經開始建造“康復花園”。these places就是Healing Gardens，故選G。

再如：

“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. ?37??It?s great to watch them. For many of them， it?s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”

A. So why do we dance？

B. Dance in the U.S. is everywhere.

C. If you like dancing outdoors， come to America.

D. My older students say it makes them feel young.

E. I keep practicing even when I?m extremely tired.

F. Dancing seems to change their feeling completely.

G. They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.

解析：根據前文Bridges ?runs dance classes for all ages，Bridges開設的舞蹈課適合各個年齡階段的人，教跳舞是非常好的，再根據后句It?s great to watch them，根據人稱可知是在談論他們，所以D和F符合，再根據本段最后一句可知，此段主要介紹了跳舞對他們的好處，故選D。
