备战2021年高考英语经典小题考前必刷
20. 语篇能力提升之七选五.从外在线索入手
【刷技巧】
在解题过程中,每做一道有把握的题后最好在7个选项中将其画掉缩小范围外,通过观察语言结构也可将选择范围大大缩小,心情变得更加轻松,一般可将7个选项缩小到2~4个选项,因此,也提高模棱两可题的正答率。通过观察篇章结构和设题特点,由外在特征即可预测答案。这些外在线索包括小标题、主题句、首段尾句和标点符号等。
策略1:外在线索题之关注小标题
在“总——分”结构的文章中,有一些由小标题引领各部分。如设空处恰好处于小标题的位置,则该处应为一个小标题。而小标题的供选项一般为祈使句,相对于其他选项,句子较短,特征较为突出。一个小标题常有两个供选项,其中一个为迷惑选项,通常也是最终多余的两个选项之一,不会是任何题的答案。小标题线索题目较为明显,学生容易发现小标题的特征,题目较为简单,学生可优先做该题。

•__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.Still__others__may__simply__enjoy being__outdoors and__close__to__plants.However,there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden.One of them comes from our earliest years.

B.Find a good place for your own garden
策略2:外在线索题之:留意主旨句
在“总——分”结构的文章中,观察每一部分(段落)的结构,如果每一部分(段落)都有主旨句引领,这些主旨句往往句式相同,并且前面往往有实心圆点。如果设空处恰好处于段落主旨句的位置,则该处应为段落主旨句,然后根据本段内容做出选择。此类题目较为简单,学生可优先做该题。
