专题二 阅读理解七选五
第1讲 利用设空位置,快解阅读七选五
一、近五年高考英语七选五考情分析
命题特征
1. 体裁:以说明文和议论文为主,间或出现记叙文。说明文侧重介绍方法、现象、事物特点等;议论文围绕某一观点展开论述;记叙文则通过故事传递道理或情感。
2. 话题:广泛且贴近生活与学习,涵盖时间管理、网络学习、写作提升、志愿者活动、健康生活等方面,注重考查学生对常见话题的理解能力。
3. 设空位置:段首、段中、段尾均有设空,段中设空相对较多。不同位置的设空在文章中承担不同功能,段首常引出段落主题,段中起衔接过渡作用,段尾多总结段落或引出下文。
4. 选项类型:包括主旨概括句、过渡性句子和细节支撑句。主旨概括句考查对段落或文章整体的把握;过渡性句子注重逻辑连贯;细节支撑句则与上下文具体内容相关。
5. 干扰项:干扰项与文章话题相关,但在逻辑、内容或结构上与上下文不匹配,具有较强迷惑性。
三、解题技巧
1. 设空在段首: 若设空在段首,通常是段落主题句。需快速浏览后文内容,抓住关键词和核心话题,选择能概括段落主旨的选项。注意与后文在逻辑和内容上的一致性,比如总分关系等。
典例:(2024年真题)
设空段后文围绕“定期锻炼、均衡饮食、充足睡眠”等健康生活习惯展开。
正确选项为“Adopt several healthy living habits for a better life.”,此句作为段首主题句,统领全段内容。
2. 设空在段中: 分析上下文的逻辑关系,如因果(because, so, therefore等)、转折(but, however, yet等)、递进(besides, moreover, furthermore等)、并列(and, or等)等关系词。留意上下文的关键词、代词(it, they等),通过这些线索判断选项与上下文的衔接是否自然。
典例:(2022年真题) 上文提到“写作前要明确写作目的”,下文说“根据目的选择合适的内容和结构”。 设空处选项为“Once you've determined your purpose, it will guide your choices.”,通过“Once you've determined your purpose”承接上文写作目的,“it will guide your choices”引出下文根据目的做选择,逻辑连贯。
3. 设空在段尾: 若为总结段落内容,需对段落进行整体概括,选择能涵盖主要信息的选项。
若设空处与下文有衔接关系,要考虑选项是否能自然引出下文话题,关注上下文的逻辑连贯性。
典例:(2021年真题)
段落论述了网络学习的优点如灵活性和资源丰富,也提到了缺点如缺乏面对面交流。
段尾设空处正确选项为“Overall, while e-learning has its merits and demerits, it has become an important part of modern education.”,总结了网络学习的利弊,同时为下文可能继续讨论网络学习在现代教育中的地位做铺垫。
四、易错失分点
1. 设空位置功能误判:未能准确判断设空在文章中的作用,将段首主题句当作段中过渡句,或者将段尾总结句理解错误,导致选项选择失误。
2. 逻辑关系混乱:对上下文的逻辑关系把握不准确,如混淆因果关系和递进关系,没有正确识别转折词等,从而选错选项。
3. 关键词遗漏:忽略选项和上下文中的关键词、同义词、反义词等线索词,不能通过这些关键信息判断选项与上下文的匹配度。
4. 干扰项迷惑:被干扰项的表面信息所迷惑,没有深入分析其与上下文在逻辑和内容上的契合度,轻易选择了干扰项。

(二)
【小题71】G
【小题72】E
【小题73】F
【小题74】A
【小题75】D
解析试题分析:本文讲述了做好笔记的好处和方法。
【小题71】推断题:平列关系(如first, second, third…; firstly, secondly, thirdly…; first, next, then…; in the first place, in the second place…; for one thing, for another thing…;to begin with, to conclude等)。比如文章中的选项71,由Second、Third得知应选表示平列关系的句子G.项。
【小题72】推断题:层递关系(如also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what’s more, too, either, neither, not…but…, not only…but also等)。如72 选项,与前句组合为层递关系,故应选包含also的E.项句子。
【小题73】第二段的第一句与第二句是层递关系,层递关系是一种固定的顺序关系,但又不同与顺序关系,顺序关系指构成语段的各句子只能按事物发展的过程由先而后地顺序排列,不可随意改变次序,通常在记叙文或描述固定的操作程序的说明文中用得普遍,而层递关系组合的语段是按语意的轻重、认识的深浅作由轻到重、由浅入深的排列。第三句与第四句是解释关系,第一、二句组合为一个语段,第三、四句组合为另外一个语段,语段与语段之间是总分关系,总分关系是指前面的句子陈述两个过两个以上的对象,后面的句子紧接着分别对它们加以说明。用这种方式组合的语段能够前呼后应,彼此配合,使语脉清楚,条分缕析,如“Whenever or however you take notes”一句与前两句前呼后应,彼此配合,为前句选“E. you will also want to develop your own method for taking notes. ”埋伏了一笔,逻辑性很强。
【小题74】 74是是一组祈示句,而非陈述句,故应选A.项而非B项。www.
【小题75】转折关系(如however, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, though, yet, in spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely, otherwise等)。与前句构成了转折关系,故应选D项。
