第二讲 依据词汇线索,巧解阅读七选五——由彼唱,及此和
阅读七选五覆盖三个难度档次。对于中低档层次的设题,考生可依据词汇线索——关键的单词、词组、语块来有效地解决。 在掌握了语篇结构和中心之后,词汇线索能够构成充分的语境,指向正确的选项。依据词汇线索的高分策略包括词汇复现和代词指代。
词汇复现
介绍段落主旨时,常会有核心词的复现,不只是词语的简单重复,关键词还以同源词、同义词、近义词、反义词等形式出现。
[特别提示]
1.根据全文结构和段落大意确定关键词;
2.着重阅读设空前后两句,标注关键词;
3.在选项中比对关键词;
4.正确选项中的关键词往往复现设空前一句中的关键词,且呼应设空后一句中的关键词。
代词指代
为了避免重复,且使语意简练,往往用代词指代前面提到的人、物或抽象概念,也可指代前面提到的名词、短语或者句子。因此,能够辨清代词所指代的内容,有助于厘清上下文的衔接关系,完成语篇的补全。
[特别提示]
1.选项里的代词要特别关注;
2.设空前后的代词要特别关注,尤其是设空后句子中的代词;
3.辨别代词指代的是单数还是复数。

(2024·浙江卷1月)In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. 36.________ But are all online courses created equal How can you be sure that digital learning is right for you 37.________ We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses.
The most obvious advantage of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 38.________ “I think a point that many people lose sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman.

The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you would do with in person courses. 39.________ He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards.
40.________ A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or schedule in person meetings with your professor to discuss course concepts.
A.But that doesn't mean there aren't deadlines.
B.Your motivation should be your main concern.
C.Do you know that online courses are also part of your education

As the hot days of summer descend upon China, modern people tend to embrace clothing characterized by lightness and thinness. But this is not as new a trend as one might think.

It is only 25g with the sleeve openings and collar removed and can be folded into a matchbox. This piece represents the highest level of early Han in silk reeling and fabric manufacture.

From an environmental perspective, canvas grocery bags are better choices than paper or plastic bags. 2.________ Besides, turning to reusable supplies is viewed as greener than using disposable (一次性的) products, many of which wind up in landfills because a community lacks the ability to recycle them.

Animals may choke on or be trapped in such bags. 3.________ While the bags may eventually break down, they can poison a large number of sea creatures along the way.

5.________ For example, they can be used to pick up books at the library or carry other shopping, and they make great beach bags because of their washability.

(2024·武昌二模)Loneliness is a bigger health threat than other unhealthy living habits. Our ancestors likely did not suffer from a lack of companions. Why has loneliness become such a threat How might it be addressed
In the distant past, there were few complaints about loneliness. Indeed, every person in a community, including children, was up to speed on every detail of the lives of everyone else. Instead of suffering from loneliness, our distant ancestors were oppressed (被压迫) by a lack of privacy.1.________ They facilitate distance. How did loneliness take over contemporary life
Typically, people move away from family and friends for work opportunities. Yet, cities often function as gatherings of relative strangers rather than functional communities. The many people wandering around in a city are irrelevant if we have no social connection with them. Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful social links. 2.________ These might be the people we work among, those who frequent a coffee shop, or members of a gym or sports club. Such associations are not made automatically. 3.________ In some cases, those who eagerly need social connection can fare poorly in cities.
4.________ According to the U. S. Surgeon General's Report on Loneliness, people who spend more time online are lonelier. People who claim thousands of online “friends” are often chronically anxious, disconnected and depressed. Perhaps, they would gain better social bonus by being kind to people in real life.
Virtually, not everyone needs constant companionship. This is not merely a question of how extroverted a person is. 5.________ People with a strong sense of external purpose barely suffer from loneliness, whether they perfect their dance moves, actively participate in various activities or train service dogs. In this vein, anyone who cultivates a love of nature may become a part of the natural world. That is an endless source of peace, happiness, and connection.
A.Their habits contributed to loneliness.
B.They require openness, initiative and effort.
C.Rather, it reflects how someone leads their life.
D.Outgoing people will live a busy life with social media.
E.Today, social media bring back the invasions of privacy.
F.Many turn to social media for companionship with mixed results.
G.However, associations are often formed through accidental networks.

2.G 解析:根据上文“Migrants to cities may establish various meaningful social links.”及下文“These might be the people...Such associations are not made automatically.”可知,上文介绍了城市工作可以建立有意义的社会联系,下文则列举了一些随机组成的社会群体。G项符合语境。
3.B 解析:根据上文“These might be the people...Such associations are not made automatically.”可知,这些社群要求主动积极参与。B项符合语境,且选项中的They指代上文中的Such associations。
4.F 解析:空处为段首句。根据下文内容可知,本段介绍了寻找网络朋友的弊端,建议和真实生活中的朋友真心交往。F项符合语境。
5.C 解析:根据上文“Virtually, not everyone needs constant companionship...how extroverted a person is.”及下文内容可知,有些人并不需要他人的持续陪伴,性格外向程度是一方面,却不仅限于此,下文列举了一些人的生活的例子。C项承上启下,符合语境。

长难句分析 [外刊]Unlike the fine clothing often described in TV series, ancient Chinese wore clothing that was lighter and thinner than modern imaginations can fathom.[分析] 本句是复合句。句中介词短语“Unlike the fine...”作状语;that引导定语从句,修饰先行词clothing;than引导比较状语从句。[译文] 与电视剧中常描述的精美服饰不同,古代中国人所穿的衣物比现代人所能想象的更为轻薄。[A篇]Besides, turning to reusable supplies is viewed as greener than using disposable products, many of which wind up in landfills because a community lacks the ability to recycle them.[分析] 本句是复合句。句中动词 ing短语turning to reusable supplies是主语;many of which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词disposable products,其中含有because引导的原因状语从句。[译文] 此外,使用可重复利用的物品被认为比使用一次性产品更加环保,因为社区缺乏回收能力,许多一次性产品最终被填埋。
