七选五解题技巧
题型解读
分析篇章结构,把握全篇文脉是阅读七选五解题的关键,英语的语篇(discourse)通常是由句子和语段(sentence group)构成的,语段是句子和语篇之间的中间层次,句子虽然能够单独地表达相对完整的思想,但是它不能表达多方面的、比较复杂的思想,只有把几个句子结合为较大的语言片段,才能表达一个相对独立的层意,所谓的“积句成章,积章成篇”就是这个道理。
分析文章的层次包含两种形式:一种是分析整篇文章的层次,也就是段落,另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次,也就是语篇层次。
语篇与段落是有区别的,语段是篇章结构的中间层次,是由句子到篇的一种过渡形式,段落(paragraph)是在某些语体(如记叙文、议论文)中比语段更大的意义单位,较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子,一般来说,一个段落通常由几个语段构成。构成语段的方式有两种,一是靠句际间意义的结合,二是靠句际间的关联词、逻辑性插入语来连接,在分析语段层次时,可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断,但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系,把握作者的思路,从语序上去发现断续点,理清层次,好文章的层次非常清晰,只有层层入手,才能真正理解文章。
应试技巧
技巧一:从细节逻辑上判断——因果关系
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空格前后的句子,明白这几句话的确切意思,然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上,判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。
因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系,这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果,thus/therefore因此,so (such)...that如此……以至于等。
技巧二:从细节逻辑上判断——转折关系
转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转,则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。
表示转折关系的连接词有:However然而,nevertheless仍然、然而、不过,nonetheless尽管如此、依然、然而,still还、然而,though可是、不过、然而,yet然而,in spite of不顾、不管,at any rate无论如何、至少,in any case无论如何、不管怎样,whoever无论是谁,whatever无论什么,on the contrary正相反,in contrast与此相反、相比之下,by contrast相反、相比之下,in comparison比较起来、比较地,by comparison相比之下,conversely相反(地),otherwise否则、除此以外,not...but不是……而是,as well也等。
技巧三:从细节逻辑上判断——例证关系
前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样,但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象(例子、类比等)和抽象(观点)的辩证关系,用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳(从例子到观点)和推理(从观点到例子)。
技巧四:从细节逻辑上判断——递进关系
递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系,则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。
表示递进关系的连词有:also也、而且,further另外(的),furthermore而且、此外,likewise同样地、照样地、也、又,similarly相似地、类似地,moreover而且再者、此外,in addition另外、加之,what’s more更重要的是,too也、还,either也,neither两者都不,not only...but also不但……而且等。
技巧五:从细节逻辑上判断——平列关系
表示列举关系的有:first首先、第一、second第二、third第三;firstly第一、首先,secondly第二(点)、其次,thirdly第三;first第一,next其次,then那么、然后;in the first place第一、首先,in the second place第二、其次;for one thing首先、一则,for another thing其次;to begin with首先、第一,to conclude总之等。
技巧六:从词汇线索上判断——代词
英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高,代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念,巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。
技巧七:从词汇线索上判断——同义词/近义词
英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用,这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言,上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。
技巧八:从词汇线索上判断——上下义词/同一范畴词
上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者,或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题。
技巧九:从试题位置上判断——问题在段首
假如问题出现在段首,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一两句,锁定线索信号词,然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案与空格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的衔接手段。
技巧十:从试题位置上判断——问题在段尾
所选答案是引出下一段的内容。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开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句,看与选项能否紧密连接起来。分析与前文是转折还是对比关系,此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词,同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。
段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词,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。

(2023·浙江·高考真题)With gas prices rising and airport security lines snaking longer than ever, why not book your next domestic vacation on a train Compared to other alternatives, it’s comfortable and relaxing. Here is some advice on how to make a trip by rail as pleasant as possible.
Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly. ____1____ But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance.
Use a travel agent. Consider turning your travel plan over to a travel agent and letting him double-check all the details, make suggestions, and then handle the actual reservations. A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. ____2____ Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals.
Bring a blanket. When you’re riding on trains, you won’t be provided with a blanket for free, even if your trip is an overnight one. ____3____ In the summer in particular, the air conditioning can make them quite cold.

Have fun. ____5____ Read a book, knit, do a crossword puzzle, or simply watch the world unfold outside the window. To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts). If it takes the train 53 seconds to travel one mile, you’re going 67.92 mph.

【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述一些关于如何使坐火车旅行尽可能愉快的建议。
1.根据上文“Plan ahead. Most long-distance trains, especially the sleeping car accommodations, sell out very quickly.(提前计划。大多数长途火车,尤其是卧铺,很快就卖光了。)”以及下文“But no matter when you travel, it’s a good idea to make your reservations at least 90 days in advance. (但无论你什么时候去旅行,最好至少提前90天预订。)”可知,大多数长途火车的卧铺很容易被定完,所以要提前安排预定,D项“在繁忙的夏季尤其如此。”符合语境,D项中“busy summer months”与前后文呼应,说明忙碌的夏季尤其需要提前计划。故选D项。
2.根据上文“A good one can sometimes find you discounted tickets. (一个好的旅行社有时可以帮你找到打折的票。)”以及下文“Then you won’t have to walk through several cars on a moving train three times a day for your meals. (这样你就不必为了吃饭而每天三次在行驶的火车上穿过几节车厢了。)”可知,好的旅行社帮你预定,不仅可以找到打折的票,还可以节省从卧铺到餐车的距离,G项中“book you in a sleeping car that’s right next to the diner”与前后文对应,因此推断G项“他可能还会给你预订餐厅旁边的卧铺车厢。”符合语境。故选G项。

4.根据上文“Most trains operate just once a day and some run only three times a week, so missing yours can be a disaster.(大多数火车每天只开一趟,有些火车一周只开三趟,所以错过你的火车可能是一场灾难。)”以及下文“Note: The times listed on the schedules are departure times, not arrival times. (注意:时刻表上列出的时间是出发时间,不是到达时间。)”可知,本段提醒要提前安排时间,错过时间是很麻烦的事情,E项中“You might have to wait longer”与前后文对应,说明错过火车导致的结果,因此推断E项“你可能要等上超过24小时才能赶上下一班。”符合语境。故选E项。
5.根据上文“Have fun.(玩得开心)”以及下文“To calculate your speed as you do, divide 3,600(the number of seconds in an hour)by the number of seconds it takes you to travel one mile(the distance between two mileposts).”(要计算你的速度,用3600(一小时的秒数)除以你走一英里(两个里程碑之间的距离)所花费的秒数。)”可知,本段讲述如何度过乘车时间,A项中讲到火车旅行不适合没有耐心的人与后文要计算时间,用不同的方式打发时间对应,符合语境。故选A项。

(2022·全国·统考高考真题)Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques.
___11___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ___12___ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___13___ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ___14___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ___15___ The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A.Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B.Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C.The second draft of the essay should be better.
D.First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E.Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F.Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G.Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是写文章的技巧。
11.空格处是本段的主题句,由空后的“When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper.(当你第一次想写一篇文章的时候,把笔放在纸上,不间断地写10到15分钟,不要让笔离开纸。)”可知,本段主要讲的是要学会不间断地写,D选项“First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.(首先,学习不间断写作的技巧。)”概括了本段的主要内容,可作为主题句,故选D。
12.空前说“Stay loose and free.(保持宽松和自由。)”,空后说“Don’t worry about grammar or spelling.(不要担心语法和拼写。)”,因此空格处应说按心里想的写,自由发挥,B选项“Let your pen follow the waves of thought.(让你的笔跟随思想的波浪。)”说明了按自己的思路和想法来写,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选B。
13.空前说“The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect.(下一个技巧是快速写草稿,不要担心是否完美。)”,空后说“Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper.(然而,通过学习与不完美共存,你将避免自己的头痛和一个装满皱巴巴的废纸篓。)”,E选项“Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.(太多的作家试图在第一次就把草稿写好。)”中的“get their drafts”和上文的“write your draft”相呼应,说明了有很多人想一次就写好,这是不合理的,要学会允许不完美的存在,因此E选项承上启下,符合语境,故选E。
14.空前说“The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision.(第三种方法是打印出三倍行距的副本,以便有修改的空间。)”,F选项“Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.(许多初来乍到的作者没有留出足够的修改空间。)”中的“revise”和前面的“revision”一致,指出了新手作者的常见做法,且其中的“Many beginning writers”和后文的“these writers”相互呼应,因此F选项承上启下,符合语境,故选F。
15.空前说“After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor.(当你修改你的草稿,直到它太乱以至于无法继续工作,你可以把你的修改输入到你的文字处理器中。)”,空后说“The resulting blank space invites you to revise.(由此产生的空白允许您修改。)”,因此空格处应说输入到文字处理器后应该做什么,G选项“Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.(然后你可以打印一份新的草稿,同样将文本设置为三倍行距。)”说的是输入到你的文字处理器后的做法,其中的“triple-space”和后文的“The resulting blank space”相呼应,因此G选项承上启下,符合语境,故选G。

【答案】16.C 17.D 18.B 19.G 20.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。
16.根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是:“如果你知道有人在健身房等你,你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴,你将会努力训练,因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知,空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由,故选项应与后文是顺承关系,选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应,选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练,你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。
17.根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先,决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility (或者你只是想要身体健康,能够移动的力量和灵活性 )”可知,这里是一个问句,反问自己结伴锻炼的目的,故空处与后文是选择关系,你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗 )”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。
18.根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西,但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼,那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知,寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应,选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。
19.根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼,每周多少天,每次培训要花多少小时,以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动,并提供了她的电话号码)”可知,本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例,说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结,符合语意。故选G项。
20.根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之,你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量,你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知,要学会求同存异,一起合作,共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”,选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”,故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同,学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用,符合语意。故选F项。

【答案】21.D 22.F 23.C 24.G 25.B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些外出就餐时要知道的一些重要事项。
21.根据后文“Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family — no matter where you are in the world.(知道一些技巧将有助于确保你和朋友或家人一起享受一顿愉快的晚餐——无论你在世界的哪个地方。)”可知,此处是指要学习一些用餐礼节以避免在用餐时犯错误,所以选项D“不要在餐馆犯尴尬的错误”切合文意。故选D。
22.根据前文“When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel with the edge of the table in front of you.(当你在吃的间隙把它们放下来的时候,一定要把它们放在一起,这样它们就和你面前的桌子边缘平行了。)”可知,此处是讲筷子的摆放方式,所以选项F“不要把它们直立在食物中,也不要在使用时交叉放置”切合文意,选项中的them指的就是本段中的chopsticks。故选F。
23.根据前文“In India and the Middle East, it’s considered very rude to eat with your left hand. People in France expect you to eat with a utensil in each hand.(在印度和中东,用左手吃饭被认为是非常不礼貌的。法国人希望你每只手拿一个餐具吃饭。)”可知,此处举例说明几个地方的用餐方式,且根据后文“instead preferring to use their hands(相反更喜欢用手)”可知,此处是指不喜欢用餐具用餐,所以选项C“墨西哥人认为用餐具吃饭是不合适的”切合文意。故选C。

(2022·全国·高考真题)Friendship needs care and attention to keep it in good health. Here are five ways to sustain (保持) long-distance friendships.
·Set a regular date

___28___. The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved. The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned.
· ___29___
Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible, extra effort goes a long way on special days. Simply keeping a diary that keeps track of friends’ birthdays and other important dates will make sure nothing slips by you.

B.Compensate by writing letters
C.It is also helpful for you to be a friendship keeper
D.Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it
E.Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication
F.It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media
G.You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind
【答案】26.D 27.E 28.G 29.A 30.F
【导语】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了五种维系异地友谊的方法。
26.根据上文“With busy schedules, squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge.”(平日繁忙,很难抽出时间打电话)讲的是双方都很忙碌,很难有时间给对方打电话,D项“尽量找个双方都有空的时间去打电话,并坚持下去” 给出了解决没时间打电话这个问题的方法,符合题意。故选D项。
27.根据上文“Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both.”(确保你已经和你的朋友沟通过,了解你们想要联系的频率,以及哪种方法对你们双方都最有效)提到异地朋友之间要商量沟通方式,E项“朋友需要谈论他们喜欢的交流方式”承接上文,进一步提出对交流的方法的沟通,下文“There are alternatives to constant written communication, such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat.”(除了持续的文字交流,还有其他选择,比如留下语音信息或进行群聊)对E项中的“methods of communication”进行了举例说明,上下文语意连贯。故选E项。
28.根据下文“The friend who is remaining”(留下来的朋友)和“The one in the new environment”(在新环境中的那个)提到朋友的两个不同处境,G项“你可能是朋友中离开的那一方,也可能是被留下的那一方”指出了异地友谊中分为离开的一方和留下的一方,其中“the friend who left”和“the one who was left behind”分别对应下文“The one in the new environment”和“The friend who is remaining”,所以G项符合题意。故选G项。
29.分析文章结构可知,设空处的内容是维系异地友谊的第四个方法,是第五段的小标题。下文“Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships.”(周年纪念日和生日对于异地友谊而言是非常重要的)讲的是诸如周年纪念日和生日等重要的日子对于维系异地友谊是非常重要的,由此推知,这段对应的维系异地友谊的方法是A项“Remember important dates”(记得重要的日子),所以A项符合题意。故选A项。
30.设空处所在句子的后半句“but long-distance friendships — even close ones — may require more conscious effort to sustain.”(但是异地友谊——甚至是关系亲密的友谊——可能需要更加自觉地去维系)讲的是我们要更加自觉地维系异地友谊,其中“but”说明后半句与设空处形成转折,而F项“朋友之间很容易通过社交媒体产生一种联结感”讲的是可以通过社交媒体这种方式很容易与朋友产生联结,与后半句“require more conscious effort to sustain”形成转折,而且其中的“social media”呼应了该段的小标题“Don’t rely on technology alone”(不要仅仅依赖技术)中的“technology”。故选F项。

31.上文“I have the same 24 hours in a day as you do, but 1 have made specific choice that allow me to make the most of every day and still feel happy and relaxed.( 我和你一样,每天都有24小时,但我做了具体的选择,让我充分利用每一天,仍然感到快乐和放松)”说明作者做出选择,充分利用每一天,但仍旧感到快乐和轻松,根据下文段落小标题可知,下文就如何充分利用每一天给出了建议,因此空格处应是承上启下,F项中的“help you make the most of your time”与上文“to make the most of every day”一致,“tips”引出下文的建议,因此F项“也许这些建议会帮助你充分利用你的时间”符合语境,承上启下。故选F。
32.根据段落标题“Pick the most important.”可知,本段建议挑选最重要的,下文“Focus on spending time that for you is fun and productive.( 把时间花在那些对你来说有趣和富有成效的事情上)”说明要挑选一些有趣的和富有成效的事情去做,D项中的“what is meaningful in your life”与标题中的“the most important”一致,下文是对“Make choices”具体解释。因此推断D项“选择你生活中有意义的东西”符合语境。故选D。
33.上文“Many people go crazy trying to figure out how to spend time with friends, family, work, play, etc.( 许多人疯狂地试图弄清楚如何在朋友,家庭,工作,娱乐等方面度过时间)”说明许多人想要弄清楚在生活中如何分配好时间,下文“Find ways to enjoy them in a combined manner.( 找到一种结合的方式来享受它们)”说明可以把事情组合在一起享受,因此推断空格处与上文是转折关系,说明不要试图均衡时间,C项“不要试图在它们之间平衡时间”符合语境。故选C。
34.空格处为段落小标题。根据下文“You would think learning takes more time from you, but actually there are always new ways of doing things that can save you time on daily tasks, freeing you up for the most important. Always be looking for a new way to gain back an hour here or there. Always be looking for a new way to gain back an hour here or there. (你可能会认为学习需要花费了你更多的时间,但实际上总有一些新的方法可以为你节省出做日常事务的时间,为你腾出时间去做最重要的事情。寻找在这里或者那里赢回一个小时的新方法)”可推断,本段讲述学习虽然花费很多时间,但总是能有一些方法为你节省时间做其他事情,因此要做有效的学习者。因此推断B项“做有效的学习者”为段落标题,故选B。
35.下文“Every completion is a small victory that adds up in a big way.( 每一次的完成都是一个小的胜利,累积起来就是一个大的胜利)”说明事情要一件一件去做,G项中的“making lists”与之呼应,因此推断G项“这就是为什么列清单在任何生产手册中都很重要的原因”符合语境,this指代上文“The world won't come to an end in most cases just because you left a few things undone. Celebrate progress and keep refining (改进) toward a happy productive existence.( 在大多数情况下,世界不会因为你没做完几件事而走向末日。庆祝进步,不断改进走向一个快乐而富有成效的存在)”解释了列出清单一件一件完成任务的原因。故选G。
(2022·浙江·统考高考真题)I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____36____
Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____37____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.
Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____38____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect.
____39____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____40____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client.

(2023·江苏镇江·江苏省镇江第一中学统考二模)The human personality is a rather complex and bewildering thing to study. In order to gain a better understanding of the subject, people have attempted to find increasingly reliable ways to measure and classify personalities. _____46_____
Personality tests pose a series of questions or ambiguous images that are meant to help assess the test taker’s personality. Once completed, the collected answers will indicate what “type” of personality the test taker has.
_____47_____ They’re used to assess theories, evaluate the effectiveness of therapies, diagnose psychological problems, examine personality changes, and even screen job candidates. Personality testing has become a multibillion-dollar industry, and it is used by individuals, schools corporations, and even government agencies around the globe.
The majority of the tests that are used by experts today are based on the “Big Five” personality model. This theory suggests that the human personality can be measured across five broad dimensions: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to change. _____48_____ Some even break these dimensions further into smaller “subtraits” or divide the traits differently.
Essentially, the personality tests we use today fall into two categories: self-report inventories and projective tests. The first category typically involves having the test subject read a number of multiple-choice questions or statements and then rating how well the described qualities or characteristics apply to them. The biggest advantage of self-report inventories is that they are standardized and use established norms(准则). _____49_____
The second category involves presenting the test subject with ambiguous scenes, objects, or scenarios(设想) and then asking them to give their interpretations of the test items. These descriptions are then used to assess the individual’s unconscious fears, desires, and challenges. This type of personality test is usually used in psychotherapy settings, where it allows therapists to gather a great deal of information about their clients in a relatively short amount of time. _____50_____ Different people may provide different interpretations of the responses given.
A.However, its subjective nature can be a problem.
B.Nowadays, these tests are conducted for a wide variety of purposes.
C.Personality tests are likely to become a more useful tool for employers.
D.These eventually gave rise to the modern personality tests that we use today.
E.Therefore, they’re easy to carry out and tend to have much higher reliability and validity.
F.Some people have high levels of openness to experience or score high in conscientiousness.
G.Some tests refer to these five dimensions by different labels or focus on one of them more than the others.
【答案】46.D 47.B 48.G 49.E 50.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是现代性格测试的用途、理论基础以及类型。

47.分析篇章结构的特点,此处应为本段的主题句,根据空后的“They’re used to assess theories, evaluate the effectiveness of therapies, diagnose psychological problems, examine personality changes, and even screen job candidates.(它们被用来评估理论,评估治疗的有效性,诊断心理问题,检查性格变化,甚至筛选求职者。)”可知,本段讲述的应为性格测试的目的有关,B选项“Nowadays, these tests are conducted for a wide variety of purposes.(如今,这些测试用于各种目的。)”引出下文的内容,且讲述的与性格测试的目的有关。故选B项。
48.根据空前的“This theory suggests that the human personality can be measured across five broad dimensions: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to change.(该理论表明,人类的个性可以从五个广泛的维度来衡量:外向性、宜人性、尽责性、神经质和对变化的开放性。)”可知,该部分讲述的是人类的性格有五个维度,空后“Some even break these dimensions further into smaller “subtraits” or divide the traits differently.(有些人甚至将这些维度进一步分解为更小的“子特征”或以不同的方式划分特征。)”一些人基于这一理论的做法,尤其是根据even可推断,该空处讲述的与此内容相关,G选项“Some tests refer to these five dimensions by different labels or focus on one of them more than the others.(一些测试通过不同的标签来指代这五个维度,或者比其他维度更关注其中一个维度。)”是对该理论的应用情况的说明,承接空前内容,与空后内容一致。故选G项。
49.根据空前的“The biggest advantage of self-report inventories is that they are standardized and use established norms(准则).(自我报告清单的最大优点是它们是标准化的,并使用既定的规范。)”以及空格处于段尾的特点可知,此处应进一步介绍第一种测试类型的优点,E选项“Therefore, they’re easy to carry out and tend to have much higher reliability and validity.(因此,它们易于执行,并且往往具有更高的可靠性和有效性。)”中的therefore表明此处与空前内容为因果关系,且内容讲述的是第一种测试类型便于操作,且可信度更高,与空前内容一致。故选E项。

(2023·黑龙江哈尔滨·哈尔滨三中校考三模)Paper is one of our oldest, simplest and most important inventions. But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways.
First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year. Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest.____56____And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years. Clearly, the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss. The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills, where it can produce harmful gases____57____
One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling. Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素),which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants.____58____So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. Therefore, recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
____59____It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.
Effective recycling requires a consistent effort.____60____Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be carried out. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.

【答案】56.D 57.F 58.E 59.G 60.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍纸作为人类最古老、最简单、最重要的发明之一给世界带来了两个方面的危险。
56.根据段首句“First, the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year.(首先,造纸需要每年损失数百万棵树。)”可知,主要讲述的是造纸每年会带来数百万棵树的损失。空前内容“Between 2001 and 2019, the world lost 386 million hectares of forest.(2001年至2019年期间,全球损失了3.86亿公顷森林。)”则讲述的是2001年至2019年期间有很多森林被毁。联系本段首句可知,空处讲述的应该是这些被毁的森林和造纸之间的联系。选项D“Of the trees that were cut down, 42% went to paper production.(在被砍伐的树木中,42%被用于造纸。)”符合本段内容,讲述了造纸造成了树木的损失。故选D。
57.根据空前内容“The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful. A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills, where it can produce harmful gases(纸的第二个大问题是一旦它不再有用会发生什么。大量的废纸最终被丢弃在垃圾场和垃圾填埋场,在那里它会产生有害气体)”可知,一旦纸张不再有用,它也会产生有害气体。选项F“The gas released is called methane which is a significant contributor in global warming.(释放的气体被称为甲烷,它是全球变暖的重要因素。)”进一步解释了不再使用的纸张是如何危害环境的,是上文内容的延续。故选F。
58.根据段首句“One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems: paper recycling.(一个简单的解决方案可以大大减少这两个问题:纸张回收。)”可知,本段主要介绍了可以解决这两个问题的方法。再根据空前“Paper is mainly made from cellulose (纤维素),which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants.(纸张主要由纤维素制成,它构成了树木和许多其他植物的细胞壁。)”以及空后“So far, trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products. (到目前为止,树木是唯一的纤维素来源,可以满足对纸制品的巨大需求。)”可知,空处应介绍纤维素的作用。选项E“Because of its structure, cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking.(由于它的结构,纤维素可以在造纸中重复使用。)”与上下文内容一致,解释了由于纤维素可以反复使用,所以纸张回收是极好的解决问题的方法。故选E。
59.根据上一段内容可知,作者认为纸张回收是解决造纸带来的问题的最好的解决方法。再根据下文“It now can offer the same print performance as non-recycled paper.(它现在可以提供与非再生纸相同的打印性能。)”可知,空处提及了再生纸张。选项G“Thanks to advances in processing, recycled paper isn’t the dull-colored stuff we are familiar with any more.(由于加工技术的进步,再生纸不再是我们所熟悉的那种颜色单调的东西了。)”与下文内容相一致,介绍了再生纸已经有了很大的变化。故选G。
60.根据空后内容“Once enough people realize the need for recycling, more effective recycling systems can be carried out. The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth. Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.(一旦有足够多的人意识到回收的必要性,就可以实施更有效的回收系统。树木的大量流失影响到地球上的每一个人。每个人都应该尽自己的一份力量来回收纸张,并鼓励政府和行业也这样做。)”可知,下文讲述的是如果每个人都能意识到回收纸张的重要性,那么这项措施就会长久的实施下文从而达到有效的回收。选项A“The way to begin is with education and understanding.(要从教育和理解开始。)”与下文内容一致。故选A。
