7选5的解题策略
(一)选项特点: 主旨概括句(文章整体内容)
过渡性句子(文章结构)
注释性句子(上下文逻辑意义)
(二)1、如果空格出现在段首,大部分时候是关于这一段的大意。这时要通读整段再选择能够体现整段意思的句子。
2、如果空格出现在段中,这时要根据空格前后的句子意思、备选选项的句子意思以及句子之间的逻辑关系来确定答案。
3.如果空格出现在段尾,通常是指事情的结尾或者是总结句。
(三) 7选5考查的是语篇的连贯性和一致性,因此就要使用到各种达到连贯目的的各种衔接手段,即:词汇衔接、逻辑衔接、结构衔接。
1)词汇同现法
词汇同现是指属于同一词汇搭配范畴或者某一领域的词汇在文章中共同出现,达到语义衔接的目的。一般来说,上下文中词汇的范畴越小,上下文的衔接关系越紧密。
2)代词线索
英语表达中代词出现的频率极高,代词的作用无非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。
3)数字线索
包括具体数字以及和数字相关的词汇诸如ratio, rate等等。作者列出数字,除了和其他数字进行对比和比较之外,还可以用数据来说明一个观点。
4)逻辑关系线索
(a)并列与递进关系: and, or, also,neither…nor…,either…or…,likewise, similarly, equally, in the same way, that is to say ,as well as, the same …as, besides, additionally, furthermore, moreover, in addition to ,what is more
(b)因果关系:because, for, since, as, thus, hence, therefore, so, so…that, consequently, accordingly, due to, thanks to, as a result ,because of ,in that, for this reason, of course
(c)转折让步关系:but, however, yet, on the contrary, by contrast, on the other hand, unfortunately, while, whereas, unlike, rather than ,instead of, it is true that, of course, although, though, even though, even if, nevertheless, despite, in spite of
(d)时间关系:afterwards, at first, at last, finally, first, firstly, in the first place, to start with,in the mean time, last, later, next, second, secondly, then, third, thirdly, to begin with以及一些具体的时间。
具体方法:
1.阅读各个空的前后句,标记关键词
在阅读文章的开始部分、明确文章的基本话题以后,要阅读五个空自的前后句,并将前后句中的解题线索,即关键词标记下来。关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组(如带有形容词的名词词组),专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。
2.阅读各个选项,尤其是选项的首句,标记关键词
3.比较并匹配上述两类关键词,确定答案
4.将确定的答案代入原文,看读起来是否通顺。

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel you are already close friends. They are always good talkers.
Here are several skills that good talkers have in common. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly. 36 .
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. 37 .” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. 38 . Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully.
Real listening at least means some things. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. 39
Finally, good talkers know well how to “say goodbye”. If you’re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” 40 . Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away, happy and satisfied.
A. You can become a popular person.
B. Common as the question is, it will get things going.
C. Don’t be afraid to say so if you want to see that person again
D. You’d better change the subject if the voice sounds dull.
E. It’s polite to listen to others with a smile.
F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
G. These people have something in common.

How to Raise Money for Your Favorite Charity
At the end of the year, we are often inspired to do more for people in need. 1 Don't worry. Here's a quick and easy tip-list to make such a worthy act successful.
? 2 You need to make sure that both you and your participants enjoy the event. So keep it simple and make sure that you add some fun, whether it's special decoration, a bag for each participant or guest, or a special theme.
? Get team support. 3 Teamwork may give you some new ideas and help give a unique feature to your event. Make sure that you break down the work among your team.
? Plan for the “what-ifs?” If you are planning to hold an event outdoors, or if you are relying on a famous person as a guest of honor, make sure you think of a few possible alternatives. 4 This is the key to successful event planning.
? Timing is everything. Check your community calendar to make sure there are no important community events on the day that you are planning your event. You might want to check with other communities or non-profit organizations nearby. 5
? Check out your favorite charity's website for ideas. Many websites offer advice on how to raise money. For example, the human rights charity Amnesty International lists events and ideas on its website.
A. Keep it fun and simple.
B. Tell the charity about the event.
C. Have no idea of where to begin?
D. Turn to friends for some creative ideas.
E. Remember to thank anyone who has donated.
F. Try to pick the date that will bring in the best attendance.
G. What if it starts raining or if your honored guest doesn't show up?
B
How do you discover your real purpose in life? I'm not talking about your job, your daily responsibilities, or even your long-term goals. 1
Perhaps you're a person who doesn't believe you have a purpose and believe that life has no meaning. 2 Not believing that you have a purpose won't prevent you from discovering it, just as a lack of belief in gravity won't prevent you from tripping
(绊倒).
3 A martial arts (武术) expert asked Bruce to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups, both filled with liquid. “The first cup,” said Bruce, “represents all of your knowledge about martial arts. The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge, you must first empty your cup of your knowledge.”
If you want to discover your true purpose in life, you must first empty your mind of all the false purposes you've been taught (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).
4 While there are many ways to do this, here is one of the simplest that anyone can do. The more open you are to this process, the more you expect it
to work.
Here's what to do:
? Take out a blank sheet of paper or open up a word processor where you can type.
? Write at the top, “What is my true purpose in life?”
? Write an answer (any answer) that comes into your head. 5 A short phrase is fine.
? Repeat the last step until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose.
A. It doesn't matter.
B. Here's a story about Bruce Lee.
C. So how to discover your purpose in life?
D. It doesn't have to be a complete sentence.
E. I mean the real reason why you live in this world.
F. Many people live a meaningless life without a purpose.
G. If you don't have a purpose, then you should try to find one.
C
I was attending a party one night. During the dinner, the man sitting next to me told a humorous story and he spoke of a quotation.
The storyteller mentioned that the quotation was from the Bible. He was wrong. I knew that. I knew it for sure. 1 And so, to get a feeling of importance and display my superiority, I tried to correct him. He stuck to his guns. What? From Shakespeare? Impossible! Absurd! It was from the Bible. And he knew it.
The storyteller was sitting on my right; and Frank Gammond, an old friend of mine, was seated on my left. Mr. Gammond had devoted years to the study of Shakespeare, so we asked him. He listened, kicked me under the table, and then said: “Dale, you are wrong. The gentleman is right. 2 ”
On our way home that night, I said to Mr. Gammond: “Frank, you knew that quotation was from Shakespeare.”
“Yes, of course,” he replied, “Hamlet, Act Five, Scene Two. 3 Why prove to a man that he is wrong? Is that going to make him like you? Why not
let him save his face? Why argue with him?”
4 I not only had made the storyteller uncomfortable, but had put my friend in an embarrassing situation. How much better it would have been had I not started the argument.
Nine times out of ten, an argument ends with each side more firmly convinced than ever that he is absolutely right. 5 You can't because if you lose it, you lose it; and if you win it, you lose it.
A. You can't win the argument.
B. That quotation was from the Bible.
C. But we were guests at a festive occasion.
D. There couldn't be the slightest doubt about it.
E. Nobody could decide who was right in the end.
F. But it was impossible for me to change his mind.
G. The man who said that taught me a lesson I'll never forget.
D
While you are performing tasks in public, you may experience fears. 1 Fears can also result in your making mistakes and cause you to avoid public situations. So rather than giving up before you begin, give these tips a try.
2
People are forgiving when it comes to public performances if there is something of value in the content that you present. For example, if you give a performance that informs and educates your audience, they're likely to overlook the fact that you were nervous.
Record your performance and view it.
Once you view your performance, you will have an excellent idea of how you might better impress your audience. This will help you get rid of awkward habits that could put your audience off your message. 3 After all, your performance may be much better than you think.
Use visualization (想象).
In the last few days before your performance, take time to visualize your performance. 4 Visualize possible questions from your audience. If you see yourself as being successful during your performance, you will start your performance with a
calm attitude.
Remember that fear doesn't equal failure.
5 That's okay. You can still pull off a successful performance where you accomplish what you intend to accomplish. Once one performance has gone well, you will have less fear during following performances.
A. Be strict with yourself.
B. Remember that good content is key.
C. You never know what will happen next.
D. Picture every detail of your performance.
E. Of course, you may also gain more confidence.
F. They can cause you to lose confidence in yourself.
G. You may not completely cure your fear of performance.
