Four simple ways to stay positive
Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.21教育名师原创作品
Don’t think a lot about negativity.
Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.
It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk.?? 1 ?However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.
2 ?
What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least a half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine.? 3
Be kind to others.
4 ?Making someone’s day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious?(传染的), and your positive attitude may spread among others.
Take it one day at a time.
Being positive isn’t an instant thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day.? 5 ?Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.
A. Eat healthy and stay fit.
B.?Take your lunch breaks outside.
C.?Don’t worry about what the future may bring.
D.?Gratefulness helps you appreciate life in bad times.
E.?Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
F.?Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
G.?Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.
【文章大意】本文为说明文。讲述的是每天保持积极乐观的四种方法。
1.F 【解析】根据下文However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.可知此处表示你可以花几分钟感觉难过，然后接受发生的事情，但是在你的一天里不能再难过了，故选F。
4.E 【解析】本段讲述的是要对别人和善，要尊重和同情每一个人，你做的好事也会影响别人效仿你，由此可知此处表示＂好的感觉来自于善意和无私的行为＂，故选E。
5.C 【解析】根据下文Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.（集中注意力活在当下，尽你所能地使每一个都变得更好）可知此处表示＂不要担心未来可能会带来什么＂，故选C。

迟到的原因

We all have one, don’t we? A friend who’s always late. The one who turns up for coffee a full half hour after the appointed time.? 1 . Or just maybe, if you’re really honest, this tardy (拖延的) individual is actually you yourself. Either way, 1ateness can be extremely annoying to the receiving end.
How on earth can people be so inconsiderate?
Recent research suggests that there might be more to this than simple rudeness. Psychologists from Washington University believe people view time differently. Their study gave participants a specific amount of time to complete a task.? 2 . Despite this, some people became so absorbed in the activity that they completely forgot to check the clock.
Our personality also plays a role. The less punctual among us often share characteristics such as “optimism, low levels of self-control, anxiety”? 3 . Optimists tend to overestimate how much they can achieve and underestimate problems. It means they don’t account for the long traffic jam on the way for that coffee.
4 . The English phrase “to be fashionably late” is used to describe the proper time to arrive at an event. The problem is, what one person regards as fashionably late, another may view as impolite.? 5 .
A. Why optimism, you ask?
B. Maybe language is to blame
C. It even provided them with a clock
D. Different people vary from each other
E. Next time you have coffee, do try to be on time
F. The one who seems to be forever “stuck in traffic”
G. The one that might always be later than the agreed time
【文章大意】主要讲述一些人约会总是迟到的原因。
1.F 【解析】考查上下文理解以及逻辑推理。根据前一句“一个因买咖啡迟到了一个小时的朋友”可知，此处还是解释朋友会迟到的原因。F选项一个“永远被堵在路上的朋友”符合语境。故选F。
4.B 【解析】考查上下文理解以及逻辑推理。此句为该段主题句。根据下文可知，根据后一句“The English phrase…to be fashionably late”可知，此处应和语言有关。B选项符合语境。故选B。
5.E 【解析】考查上下文理解以及逻辑推理。根据前面的解释，不同的人对于“to be fashionably late”的理解不同。所以，后面一句应为还是按时的好。构成顺承关系。E选项下次喝咖啡还是尽量按时的好，符合语境。故选E。

Controlling Anger
Becoming angry is something beyond the control of people? 1 Becoming angry can do a lot of damages, both mental and physical. However, there are methods for discovering how to control anger and not suffer later.2-1-c-n-j-y
●? 2 The moment you feel there are chances of you becoming angry, get away from those circumstances. In fact, there can be no better a judge than you, for discovering what it is or who it is that makes you become angry, and then at that moment choose to think about something else that can lighten your feelings.
●Keep a check on your breathing.? 3 By controlling the process of breathing, you can actually slow down your anger greatly. You can count till the number three as you breathe in, hold it for 3 seconds and again count till three while breathing out. You have to concentrate on the count as you do this and repeat for as many times as is required.
●? 4 For example, if you're experiencing road anger while driving, you can choose to tell yourself that the person who overtook you by a vehicle was in a hurry as a result of some emergency and appreciate the fact that nothing major had happened to your car. Repeat this form of self-talk to yourself every time you are in the middle of such an angry situation.
●Look for a support in other people.? 5 It needs to be clear right at the beginning as to why you are discussing your concerns with that individual. Let the other individual know what you want from the other person. After you're done with your part of discussing about the circumstances, chances are that you'll feel much better than before.
A. Talk to yourself positively.
B. Come to a stop as soon as you are angry.
C. Try to see the situation in a different light.
D. You can also ask for help from the one you rely on.
E. What you can do when you become angry is to breathe deeply.
F. In fact, almost all people at one point of time or the other become angry.
G. You can imagine going to a place you consider to be calming as well as relaxing.
【文章大意】生气伤身，但是每个人不可避免地会生气。如何控制生气呢？本文给出了四项有效措施：生气时停一停；生气时深呼吸；生气时自嘲；寻求别人的帮助等。
1.F 【解析】根据下文Becoming angry can do a lot of damages, both mental and physical.可知，生气对精神和身体都有很大坏处，接着讲述了控制生气的方法，因此推断F项“实际上，几乎所有的人都有可能在某一时刻会生气”符合语境。故选F。
3.E 【解析】根据段落标题和空格下文By controlling the process of breathing, you can actually slow down your anger greatly.可知，生气时调整呼吸，通过控制呼吸的过程，减慢生气，根据关键词“breathe”可知E项“生气时你可以做深呼吸”符合语境。故选E。
4.A 【解析】空格处为段落标题。本段通过一个例子，当你开车路怒的时候，你可以告诉自己超过你的那个人可能有紧急事情感激你的车没有发生什么大事，生气的情况下多重复几遍这个过程。因此推断本段建议生气时积极的自言自语。故选A。
5.D 【解析】根据段落标题Look for a support in other people.可知，本段建议生气时寻求别人的支持，support与D项中提到的“help”一样相近，因此推断D项“你可以尝试向你信赖的人寻求帮助”符合语境。故选D。

对露营的认识变化

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 36
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. 21世纪教育网版权所有
39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A. This?time?there?was?no?tent.
B. Things?are?going?to?be?improved.

F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.21*cnjy*com
G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.
【文章大意】三年前，作者对露营一无所知，也不认为自己会喜欢露营。然而后来有过几次露营的经历，作者和他的家人开始爱上了露营，甚至为露营购买了设备齐全的房车。作者认为露营是回归大自然的一个方式，也建议读者找到适合自己的回归自然的方式。
36.D 【解析】根据前文可知三年前作者认为露营和自己无关，而后文中表明作者热爱露营，暗示此处作者对待露营的情感态度应该出现转变。D选项中的however表示转折。且If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping暗示作者态度的转变就在三年前，D选项中的since then＂自从那时候起＂和前文时间吻合。故选D。
37.C 【解析】根据后文We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom可知作者第一次露营的条件很艰苦，C选项The trip they took me on was a rough one.中的rough暗示了这一点，符合语境。故选C。
39.F 【解析】根据后文we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.可知作者一家为了露营买了房车，里面设备齐全，说明作者一家人是喜欢露营的。F选项After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping(那次露营之后，我的家人开始对露营感兴趣)符合语境，故选F。
40. E 【解析】根据后文It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.可知作者希望每个人能找到适合自己的回归自然的方法，而根据前文可知作者回归自然的方式就是露营。E选项I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.(我必须得承认我真的开始享受露营)既是对文章第一段中作者态度转变的一个总结，也很好地衔接了后文。故选E。

制订一个计划调节生物钟

7分钟
Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 36 Here’s how to make one.
● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 38 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 39
● Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record. 40 If not, take another look at other methods you could try.
A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.
E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.
F. Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day.
G. Reconsider the 15 minutes you spend in line at the cafe to get coffee.

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 31 But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.【版权所有：21教育】
●When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, ＂Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?＂ 32
●Hit the streets with confidence. 33 Say, ＂Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.＂ This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
●Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don’t get discouraged.
● 34 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 35
●If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work without them.
A. Limit your time.
B. As you approach people, be polite.
C. If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.
D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.
E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.
F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G. With a question like this, you will get more than a ＂Yes＂ or ＂No＂ reply.
【文章大意】本文主要讲了进行街道随机采访的若干技巧。
31. D 【解析】根据空格后一句中的＂your first man-on-street interview experience can be easy＂可知这是对于记者新人所提出的建议，而选项D中的＂new reporters＂正好与其相承接，故选D。
34. A 【解析】根据空格后一句＂Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes.＂可知这一段的建议是要限制采访的时间，故选A。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
35. F 【解析】空格前一句是＂A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten＂, 而选项F中＂That number of interviews…＂正好与其相呼应，故选F。

A garden that’s just right for you
Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 36 . But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.21教育名师原创作品
● 37 ?
Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 38 .However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.
●Recall(回忆)your childhood memories
Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 39 — how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 40 . Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.
A. Know why you garden
B. Find a good place for your own garden
C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters
D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers21*cnjy*com
E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants
F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too
G. For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have
【语篇解读】本文属于说明文，美丽的花园能给我们带来美好的视觉享受，文章中给出了两个自己建设花园的具体建议。www-2-1-cnjy-com
36.F 【解析】考查上下文的衔接。根据文章首句及下文的＂But it doesn’t happen by accident＂可知，这里是在讲＂你是否曾去过一个花园……但是它不是偶然发生的＂。故F项＂You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden， too＂符合语境。
?37.A 【解析】考查子标题。根据下文中的＂a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden＂可知，本段的主题应与你想要种植花园的原因有关，故选A项。
?38.E 【解析】考查上下文的衔接。根据上文的＂Some people may think...＂和＂Others are concerned about...＂可知此处表达的是人们种植花园的不同原因，而E项中的＂Still others may simply enjoy...＂与上下文衔接自然，故选E项。21cnjy.com
【名师点睛】
第小题37属于七选五阅读中最常见的设空在段首的方法，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。本题我们根据倒数第二句＂However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.＂可知我们首先要知道为什么要搞园艺。故A项为本段的主题句。
当七选五阅读设空在句首时，还可能存在以下两种情况：
1. 属于段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否能将两段内容连贯起来。21·世纪*教育网
2. 与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。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。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白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衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。比如，如果选项中出现时间年代时，往往要注意与原文中年代的前后对应关系。

Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 36 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 37 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.21·cn·jy·com
38 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 39 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one.2·1·c·n·j·y
There are many common methods used to cook fish. 40 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it’s ready to serve.
A. Do not buy it.
B. The easiest is to steam it.
C. This is how you can do it.
D. It just requires a little knowledge.
E. The fish will go bad within hours.
F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.
G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.
【语篇解读】本文向大家介绍了如何用简单的方法购买和烹制鱼。
?38.F 【解析】考查主题句。段落的支撑细节始终围绕主题句展开，本段中第二、三句围绕如何通过嗅觉来鉴别鱼是否新鲜，因此可以判断F项正确。
39.A 【解析】考查段落中句子间语意的连贯性和代词的正确使用。空前提到，浓烈的气味说明鱼已不新鲜，故不能买这种鱼。据此可知A项正确。
40.B 【解析】考查段落中句子间语意的连贯性。本段的主题为如何烹制鱼，下文讲到了烹制鱼的步骤：首先，洗净鱼；其次，添加调料；最后，将装有鱼的盘子放入蒸锅中，蒸8至10分钟即可食用(以重约为一磅的鱼为例)。故选B项＂最简单的方法是蒸＂。
【名师点睛】
高考七选五解题方法：
1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。
2.分析句型，了解语法构成
4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。例如第36空，第39空和第40空都与它们的前一句有联系。
5.带入通读，复查
做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做＂连错＂，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其它空。

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 71 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 72 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.21教育网
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 73 ?
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 74 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
75 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文，作者讲的是有关冒险的科学的探索方面的内容。
71.F 【解析】选项F中的＂weigh risks and rewards＂与上文的＂weigh the risk and the reward＂相呼应，故F项符合语境。
?74.E 【解析】根据上文的＂your willingness...teenage years＂及下文的＂hunger for new experiences...＂可知E项符合语境。
75.G 【解析】根据空后的＂For the risk-seekers...becomes active＂可知，此处讲的是面对紧张的局面时我们的大脑会有不同的反应，故G项符合语境。

Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 16 In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 17 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
18 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.
19 Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly .? 20 ??

题型一 七选五
阅读理解七选五这个题型要求在一段约300词的短文中留出5个空白，要求考生从短文后的七个选项中（均为完整的句子）选出五个能填入文章空处的最佳选项，其中两项为多余的迷惑选项，主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。其命题形式深受英语四六级和考研阅读多项选择题的影响，体现了《新课标》＂用英语获取、处理和运用信息的能力；逐步获取用英语思维的能力。＂的阅读学习和教学理念。该题型命题形式仍然具有客观题的特点，又与完形填空具有异曲同工之妙，只是选项少，以句子形式出现，考查目的和侧重点不完全相同而已。 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
从《考试说明》对该题型命题目的的表述＂主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。＂可以得出以下结论：该题备选项可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。其多余的两个干扰项也往往从这三方面进行设置，例如主旨概括句或过于宽泛或以偏概全或偏离主题，过渡性句子不能反映文章的行文结构，注释性句子与上文脱节等。
文章体裁以说明文为主，语篇模式较为固定：提出问题——提供解决方案。文章题材较为固定：与学生的日常生活、学习紧密相关。

分析篇章结构，把握全篇文脉是阅读填空题解题的关键，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言语片段，才能表达一个相对独立的层意，所谓的＂积句而成章，积章而成篇。＂就是这个道理。21世纪教育网版权所有
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。21cnjy.com
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。21·cn·jy·com
Secret codes (密码) keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 1 Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.2·1·c·n·j·y
There are three main types of cryptography. 2 For example, the first letters of ＂My elephant eats too many eels＂ spell out the hidden message ＂Meet me.＂
3 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, the message ＂Meet me＂ would read ＂13 5 5 20 13 5.＂21·世纪*教育网
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 4 For example, ＂bridge＂ might stand for ＂meet＂ and ＂out＂ might stand for www.21-cn-jy.com
＂me.＂ The message ＂Bridge out＂ would actually mean ＂Meet me.＂ 5 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.
A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book.2-1-c-n-j-y
B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.21教育网
C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.
E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.
F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.
G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了密码的设置和破解的方法。比如利用该字母在字母表中排序的数字来代表该字母，或者利用一些单词的首字母来组成一个密码等。
1.D 【解题思路】根据后面一句＂Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making＂可知，此空该选D(只要有密码的存在，人们就会试图去破解它们)。
2.E 【解题思路】根据后一句的＂For example, the first letters of ‘My elephant eats too many eels’ spell out the hidden message ‘Meet me.’＂可知，此空该选E(你可以拼写每个单词的第一个字母来隐藏信息)。
5.A 【解题思路】本段介绍的是密码书，根据空后的转折可知，此处该选A(没有密码书是很难破解密码的)。
高考英语七选五阅读解题的十大技巧
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白前后的句子，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)...如此……以至于等。www-2-1-cnjy-com
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。【出处：21教育名师】
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。【版权所有：21教育】
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）。21教育名师原创作品
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。21*cnjy*com
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首先，第一，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。21*cnjy*com
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。
通常正确答案的最后一句与空白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，尤其当选项是几句话时。
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，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。
分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。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。
如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
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。
